YOUTH And AGE.

Maitre Labori, the noted French advocate
who defended the Humberts. is not remarkable
in Paris so much for the eloquence as for the
neatness and the polish Of his speeches.
An American journalist heard Labori in court
one day. He says the advocates address was
full Of grace, wit. tenderness. He quotes pas
sage relating to old age wherein Labor. with
a smile, said:
"Old aCe-we shall none OF US quite under
stand that until we have attained to it-fOr no
one of us, here. is old. But the other day 1

HE DIED CURED.

Carroll d Wright, authority upon ques-
tiOns of labor. passed a good part OF his boy
hood in the New-Hampshire town Of Dunbar
ton. There used to live near Dunbarton ply
sician remarkable for his pigheaded stupidity.
Mr.. Wright said Of him recently:
"A good story about this physician used to
circulate In our town. According to II. old

toward house with Grape on the door.

PLAYED BUMBLEPUPPY.

The late Marquis of Salisbury used to be very
fond Of whist. which he played with exceptional
skill Naturally. therefore it Disguised him to
be placed with a bad partner, and, when he had
bad partner, many were the comments, as Bit
ing acid. which in his quiet voice he would
make upon the latters faults.
At a house party in Devonshre. Lord Sails

by a partner Of unusual stupidity. whose play
was mere bumblepuppy. Nevertheless, the two
were carrying off the honors. 1t almost seemed
so brilliant were Lord Salisbury's plays, that
they would win.
In the middle OF the game a young woman
paused beside the noted statesman. She put her
hand on his sturdy shoulder. and she said:

A MARKED STEP IN THE DIREC-
TON OF TRUE TEMPERANCE

The decanter with strong intoxicants.
which from the earliest history of our
country was found in almost every
home, in the cupboard of the humblest
cottage or Oh the side board Of the man
sion, is practically thing of the past,
and is marked step in the direction of
True Temperance. This is mostly due
to the introduction of. and the now uni
versal use of bottled beers in households.
In the early seventies, the Anfeser-
Busch Brewing Assn. began bottling
beer under the pasteurizing system and
were the first to bottle beer for export
successfully. Always following their
motto in brewing, Not how cheap but
how good and constantly on the alert
to secure the most modern machinery
and applying the best methods for
bottllng, the venture proved a wonderful
success. From small beginning their
business rapidly increased, so that dur
ing the year 1902 the consumption of
Budweiser alone reached the fabulous
figure of 83,7oo,3oo bottles and proves
conclusively that this wholesome AMI re-
freshing beverage has become the ac-
cepted American drink.
Budweiser is the Standard of Quail
lty, and the greatest proof of its worth
is the many limitations both in name and
similarity of label, constantly being
placed on the market by unscrupulous
competitors.

WHEELER,s UNIFORM

"A much ado" is in progress in the
sensational press in the North over an
alleged slight to General Wheeler. who,
through the inadvertance of committee
man, was not invited to ride in a car
riage in the Confederate Veterans pa
rade in New Orleans. 1t is also alleged
that the Confederate Veterans refused
to recognize General Wheeler because
he wore a Federal uniform. General
Wheeler wore no uniform. IF he has
uniform it may be packed away in some
old trunk or box. General Wheeler
would feel uncomfortable in uniform.
General Wheeler wore no uniform when
he was chasing and whipping the
Yankees during the war between the
States; he wore no uniform when he
was licking the Spaniards in Cuba.
General Wheeler is no parade man and
it may be said as general rule that few
OF the fighting men ever go about deck
ed in feathers and fril1s, and medals and
spangles, and plumes and so forth. The
fellow who concocted this wilfu1, NAL
lclous fabrication must be reckoned
with the many whose bray has indicated
that they are neither mule nor horse.
But who has ever seen General Wheeler
IN full dress uniform, with bangles,
frills, feathers, medals, spangles and so
forth? r..

JUNE THIRD.
Commemorative of The Confederate
Dead.

At the Convention of the United Con-
federate Veterans, held in Dallas, Texas,
in 1902, a suggestion was offered and
adopted fixing June 3rd as the Memor-
ial Day for the South. 1t may be said
that in the years preceding the adop-
ton of this resolutioneach state of the
South had its day for a memorial, as
for instance, in Louisiana, on April 9th,
commemorative of the first days battle
of Shiloh, where thousands of heroes
from Louisiana yielded their precious
lives in defense of a sacred principle.
Having fixed June third as Memorial
Day which every state of the South may
observe, it is also significant as an his
torical connection with the birthday of
Jefferson Davis, president of the Con-
federacy. who was in his official capac-
ity,as well as in his personality and his
individuality, the leader and the repre-
sentative of all that which was priced in
principle and love of country by the
South. On that day the South will not
fail in its solemn duty. The exercises
throughout the South viii be more or
less diversified In Shreveport the Con-
federate Veterans, assisted by the
Daughters of the Confederacy and the
Sons of Veterans, will decorate with
flowers the graves of Confederate dead
within the corporate limits, and in these
manifestations of regard the Gray will
not forget to placesome floral token on
the graves of the Blue
Memorial Day, on June 3rd, should
arouse the nobiest of patriotic impulses,
and flowers, fragrant with love, will be
streWed over the mounds which indicate
the spot where sleep the heros This
is all the living can do, but that little
is an evidence of appreciation which
must leave favorable impress on the
girls and boys to whom, in time, must
be left the trust Of keeping Memorial
Day when their fathers shall have joined
their comrades in the blessed inrnor
Iality.
