| Now Famous Band Leader Was ComA
PEELED to Borrow a Shirt.
Persons with long memories inform
US that Mr.. Demosthenes began his
career as stump speaker by throw
ing yards Of verbosity at the sad sea
waves. John Philip Sousa's beginning
as a public performer was much more
ludicrous than the beginning made by
Mr.. Demosthenes.
Sousa made his debut as violin
soloist, and his first public appearance
was In lunatice asylum. Sousa tells
of a series of mishaps which prevented
him from making bowling success of
his first appearance.
On preparing for the affair, the mu.
stefan, then II years old, found he was
minus a white shirt. He sought his
instructor, and was soon equipped
with a garment several sizes too large
for him. Incased in the ample folds
of the instructors shirt, and with a
startlingly large eXpanSe of white pol.
ished linen under his chin, Sousa
tripped out on the platform.
He lifted his bow. Several pounds
of shirt accompanied his arm, and
when he began to play the garment
wabbled around his neck in most an.
noying manner. After a minutes play
ing the future band master found him.
self too small for the garment, and,
unable to manipulate both the violin
and the shirt at the same time with
any degree Of comfort or grace, he fed
incontinently.
A luncheon was held after the per.
Torrance" and Sousa was, Of course,
invited. His instructor said:
This luncheon is given in your hon.
or. The very bad performance given
by you deprives you of the right to
partake of food. Kindly starve."
Sousa feigned to eat. He says he
was very hungry, but the eye of his
instructor was upon him, and he left
the table with a ravenous appetite.
Then he went home and wept.-New

Counsel and Witness.

In connection with recent legal
wrangles concerning the cross-exami-
nation of witnesses the following story
Ia interesting. A counsel had been
oss-examining a witness for some
time with very little effect, and had
sorely taxed the patience Of the judge,
the jury, and every one in the court.
At last the judge interviewed with an
imperative hint to the learned gentle.
man to conclude his cross-examination.
The counsel, who received this ju.
dicial intimation with very bad grace,
before telling the witness to stand
down, accosted him with the parting
sarcasm:
"Ah, you're a clever fellow, a very
clever fellow! We can all see that"
The witness leaned over from the
box.
~ would return the compliment
If were not on OATH" he retorted.

ty and, as 1t is but one Of several Of
Its kind, 1t stands as a type of the
modern church. IN his last year book
the rector, Rev. William s. Rainsford,
says he needs at least $4,000 a year
more than he can collect from his
congregation to maintain the church
and its extensive plant. In twenty
years 1t has spent $2.250,000 and at
least four-hfths Of this went into the
plant, which also requires the free ser
vices Of more than 200 workers.
The altar is there. Its influence per-
meates the vast whole and a stan of
assistants aid the rector in spiritual
and religious work by day and by
night. But the rector Is also general
superintendent Of a plant which Is
carried on almost exclusively by lay
men. The entire membership of St.
Georges Church is organized into sub
associations for the development of
intelligence, skill and character. Sing

aroused him from his reverie. Looking
IN, he beheld q man approaching him,
who was then, perhaps, fifty yards from
him. This man, as soon as Louis lifted
his head, suddenly broke of the lively
air with which he had been amusing him
self, and seemed to regard our hero earn
estly. Then as suddenly he recommend
ed whistling, fixed his glance in turn up
ON the earth, and, with head slightly
bent, advanced.
"Who can it be2" thought the count.
"He seems to recognize me. And it
strikes me that he is endeavoring to con-
ceal his features"
And such, truly, appeared to be the
case. Yet It was NO one whom Louis re-
membered to have seen before. This man
WAS dressed in the garb usual to the peas

medium rank, and proportionate size. His
features were partially concealed as he
beId his head down. But Louis, as he
came nearer, was more curious to behold

Commemorative Of tie 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 Memoir
ial Day for the South. 1t may be said
that in the years preceding the adop-
ton of this resolutioneacf 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-
federacv, who was in his official capac
ity,as we'll 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

throughout the South will 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 noblest 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 a 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 immor-
tality.

GENERAL 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 a committee
man. was not invited to ride in car
riage in the Confederate Veterans pa
rade in New Orleans. It 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 a 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 a general rule that few
of the fighting men ever go about deck
ed in feathers and frills, and medals and
spangles, and plumes and so forth. The
fellow who concocted this wilful, NAL
icious fabrication must be reckoned
with the many whose bray has indicated
that they are neither mule nor horse.
But who has ever seen Genera. Wheeler
in full dress uniform, with bangles,
frills, feathers, medals, spangles and So
forth?

A MARKED STEP IN THE DIREC.
TION 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 on 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 Anheser-
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
bottling, 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 $4,000 bottles and proves
conclusively that this wholesome and re-
freshing beverage has become the &C
cepted American drink
Budweiser is the Standard of Quail
ity, 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.
