Eorne at the White House
Have Much to See.

The Roosevelt children, Kermit and
Ethel, are thoroughly enjoying their
new home ut the white house. The
first morning after their arrival they
were out of bed long time before
the family was ready for breakfast,
and immediately began en- inspection
of their new home, visiting all the
apartments and admiring the view
from the windows, which overlook
the white lot and the site of the
Washington monument. After break
fast they went out with Pinckney. Mr.
Roosevelt's colored man servant, and
under his supervision purchased two

TO RECOUNT AND RECALL.
It is to give expression to such sentl-
ments as these that We are now assem-
bled. 1t is to do honor TO the memory
OF those brave spirits who have gone
before and to comfort and cheer those
who still linger here. 1t is to recount
and recall the memories OF the past
and once again take hope and move
forward.
To this end, as opportunity affords.
let US come together in the spirit Oi
the soldier, who while brave in battle
in none the less generous in peace: let
US while cherishing the proud recollec-
tions Of the past look with hope un-
abateo to the future; let US. though
now in the noon-tjde of life when the
shadows grow long and age with its
oft infrmities grows upon Us, still!
looking forward to the day when hope
shall be swallowed up in victory anG
those Of US who tarry shall yet witness
the fruits Of this great travail.

ing multitude Of Him who Spake "a
never man spake" in one OF his match
less parallels: except corn Of wheat
fall into the ground and die it abldeth
alone, but if it die it brlngeth forth
much fruit has other significance
than the great spiritual truth with
which the Master WAS then dealing.
Yes this priruipl is true IN the
whole realm Of nature and fruit IS the
result OF all true anG noble sacrifice.
When our flag was foc the last time
furled and you returned to your homes
and dear ones to witness naught but
desolation and ruin it did indeed seem
as though ali was lost and that the
sacrifice Of blood and treasure which
you had so freely made was indeed
vain and waste.
Looking, however. back through
the vista Of the one-third OF century
we see that our great sacrifice comes
too within the realm Of this great
principle.
No, all has not inndeed been lost,
bnt the great achievements Of the
past have been eclipsed and will con-
tinue to be eclipsed by the greater
achievements of the future. The
rapid progress and the material
development Of our country bear
ample testimony Of this truth, and
the fruit Of this sacrifice will yet be
seen in one reunited country going for
ward step by step until it shall stand
foremost among the nations of the
world.
Survivors Of this cause, you have
been assembled to perpetuate its men,
cry and unto this reunion Columbia
gladly welcomes you. AT the request
Of her good people and as there repre-
sentative ! extend to you a uosJ cor
dial welcome. While with Us may
Gods projecting care be round about
each of you, and when you shall bid
US farewell may God be with you al
till we meet again.

The Biarritz, France, correspond
ent Of the New York Herald says:
Next Sunday there is to be bull
fight such as has never been seen
before. 1t will be fight Of an au-
tomobile against bull.
Mr.. Henry Deutsch, whose name is
connected with the prize for aerial
navigation, will preside Mr.. Deutsch
when interviewed concerning this
latest novel plan for ting
the merits of the automobile said:
MY opinion is that an automobile
can be used instead of a mounted
picador and if the picador is placed
on swiftly revolving automobile
the sport might be immense.
II hold that with capable chat
feur the automobile could avoid the
charges of the bull. Ny idea inallthis
is that as the revolving feature Of
bull fighting is the mutilation of the
horse, this could be avoided by the
use of an automobile"

major, not captain, not lieuten-
ant, merely a private, and when he
was made a corporal just before Apo
mattoX Gen Lee was forced to Surren-

and for 10 yeare resident Of South

Augusta, Ga.

front Of tine stage there was some con-
fusion in the hall. Speak louder

the story of the Confederate soldier
on picket duty who in the act Of clean
ing his gun was surprised by the officer
of the day. When cbded for his lack
of interest in the regulation of war
the private replied: Well, you sorter
wait until l Sorter get my gun togeth-
er and l will sorter give 5ou a Sorter

which gained the attention OF the
veterans, who listened attentively to

secession He denied the charge that
he had never held an office Some

The Judgment of Years.

A significant bit of wisdom. TO be
pondered over by the very young.
whose griefs and disappointments seem
so tragic, was that uttered by Mrs
Dolly Madison when she was over
eighty years old and near her death.
Her life had been fortunate and beau.
tiful not only because circumstances
had proved kind TO her. but from the
brightness and buoyancy of her tenn
perament.
She harbored no bitterness over past
experiences. but life had taught her the
unimportance of most trials which
loom so gigantic In approaching.
Not long before her death one of her
nleces went TO her for sympathy in
some slight trouble.
"My dear" she said, "do not trouble
about ii. There is nothing in this
world really worth caring for Yes"
she repeated. looking intently out of Il
window, Il who have lived so long re-
peat TO you that there is nothing in
this world below really worth caring
for.''

HuttOua.

The Elizabethan era gave vogue TO
the button and the buttonholc, two III
ventlons which may fairly be regarded
as important, since they did much to
revolutionize dress. The original but
ton was wholly Il product of needle
work, which was soon improved by the
use of II wooden mold. The brass but
ton is said to have been introduced by
birmingham merchant In 1859. 1t
took 200 years to improve on the meth
oil of sewing the cloth upon the GOV.
cred button. Then an ingenious Dane
hit upon the idea OF making the button
in two parts and clamping them to-
gether, with the cloth between. Buttons
are now made of almost everything
from seaweed and cattle hoofs to moth
or of pearl and vegetable ivory. EX-
cellent buttons are made from potatoes,
which, treated chemically, become as
hard as ivory.-Boston Transcript.

Oriental weddings.

At wedding festivals in Arabia, Per-
sia and Morocco the women guests hold
carnival all day, sometimes several
days, but the poor little bride is in
room by herself fasting. She is being
decorated" Depilatories and tweezers
remove all superfluous hair. She Is
scrubbed with pumice stone; her toes,
fingers and hair are stained with hem
ma. and her face is daubed with red and
bits Of gold paper. An oriental maiden
has no voice in the selection of her hus-
band. She seldom sees him till she is his
wife, and he is not supposed to see her
face until she unveils after marriage.
Sometimes Cupid gets ahead of parents
and guardians, the wind" blows the
veil aside, and the young eyes meet.
Then there is some anxious maneuver-
ing that the elders may make the right
selection.
