From this pulpit of broken stone we
our land. We offer to the President
of the United States our solemn CON
CALCULATIONS that God has sustained
his life and health under the unpar-
alleled burdens and sufferings for four
bloody years, and permitted him to
behold this suspicious contamination
of that national unity for which he has
waited with so much patience and for
titude, and for which he has labored
with such disinterested wisdom. To
the members of the government asso-
ciated with him in the administration
of perilous affairs In critical times; to
the senators and representatives of
the United States, who have eagerly
fashioned the instruments by which
the popular will might express and en-
force itself, we tender our grateful
thanks.
To the officers and men of the army
and navy who have so faithfully and
SO skillfully and gloriously upheld
luclT COuulIy duIuOilIg, w ouhSi ih6J
labor and sublime courage, we offer a
heart tribute beyond the compass Of
words.
Upon those true and faithful citi-
zens, men and women, who have
borne up with unfiinching hope in the
darkest hour, and covered the land
with their labor Of love and charity,
we invoke the divinest blessing of him
whom they have so truly initiated.
But chiefly to thee, God Of our fathers.
we render thanksgiving and praise for
that wondrous providence that has
brought forth from such a harvest Of
war the seed of so much liberty and
peacei
We invoke peace upon the North!
Peace be to the westl Peace be up
on the SOUTH
In the name Of God we lift mp our
banner and dedicate II to peace. I'M

sands will be no more. That is what
the passing of the Grand Army Of the
Republic means.
And try to realize, too, what senti-

will be fresh, vivid, real in the minds

and suffered for a glorious cause.-the

But Notwithstanding this sad de-
crease it has been suggested that the
membership ought to increase year by

900 of the men who were part Of that
grand army of the sixties, and of that
number less than $4,000 are over

may be, the Grand Army may still

WHAT THE KING EATS.
What's Fit for Him.

A Mass. lady who has been through
the mill with the trials of the usual
housekeeper and mother relates an
interesting incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
81 can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial Of
all cereal foods in my family, young
as we'll as old. 1t is food and medi'
cine both to us. A few mornings ago
at breakfast my little boy said:
Mamma, does the King eat Grape
Nuts every morningT

know, but that thought Grape-Nuts
certainly made a delicious dish. At for

England and the German Emperor

Good News from Texas.

New Braunfels, Texas, May 23rd.-
A remedy has been found which cures
every form of Kidney Trouble from
Bright's Disease down, including
Rheumatism or Heart Trouble. Mr..
C. C. Schumann, r. F. D., No. 4, from
Braunfels has used it in his family
and says of the result:
MY wife had heap Of trouble with
Kidney and Heart Disease. She was
very bad and nothing seemed to help
her, till we tried Dodd's Kidney Pills
and the Rrst box of this medicine did
her more good than all the other pills
and medicine she had used. We are
very thankful to Dodd's Kidney Pills
for what they have done for her.
Many other cases are being report
ed, in which this remedy has done
wonderful work in the relief and cure
of Rheumatism, Diabetes and Kidney
troubles of all kinds.
This will be good news to many
who are suffering as Mrs. Schumann
was before Dodds Kidney Pills cured

through the Inquisition again for the
sake of the -eward of a similar note,
telling me you are riding with this
latest arrival in town.
THOMAS NJ. GRAY"
The next afternoon, as Gray was
getting his men in order for threat
ened attack of the "rebs," Billy again
came trotting up with the violet en-
velope attached to his collar In the
shade of some sumach bushes Gray
snatched time to read the contents.
Your latest outburst duly received,
per Billy, Mr.. Tommy Green-Eyes.
Pray don't subject yourself TO heat
and mosquitoes on my account"
The note Billy carried back read as
follows:
Thanks. l had no intention of
doing So T. M. G."
Then for week there was silence
between them. Gray in his anger
cursed the Confederates for lying on
their arms instead of making things so
lively that he would have a chance to
cool mis- rage on them in battle. But
instead he was obliged to sit inactive
in camp and daily watch Helen Den
nison and Hammett, the foppish civil
ian, go trotting along the Confederate
front on horseback. No wonder he
fumed.
But one evening when the whole
town was in a ferment over the we'll
authenticated rumor of long impend-
ing battle to come on the morrow,
Gray heard a mighty yelping and XII
wing in the road as he was skirting
the camp on a final round of inspec-
ton. He turned back to find Billy
and a brindle bull terrier hard at it.
With judicious kicks he managed to
get them apart, and then his heart
came into his throat, for attached to
Billy's collar was a bit of violet en-.
velope. Gray snatched it eagerly. 1t
had been sadly mutilated in the fray.
I'm in terror over what might hap
pen tomorrow. I was just trying to
make you Jealous" he read, and in
another place he made out, I'm lone
some for you, you foolish"
Miss Helen Dennison, sitting on the
broad veranda Of the cottage, saw a
strange outfit trotting sedately across
the lawn. 1t was Billy-a wreath of
oak leaves about his neck, and tied to
his tail a small silk flag which fut.
tered bravely in the breeze. Promi-
nent on the oak wreath was an en-
velope addressed to herself:
my dear Helen" she read, and
laughed softly; 81 received but the
merest fragments Of your note, for Bill.

And Lieut.. Thomas Morley Gray,

moment. beheld Billy struggling from

blushed furiously as she saw him

BILLY" THE BLOCKADE RUNNER.

1t was close and sultry; no breath
of air stirred the pines, and the null
lein-stalks beside the roadway were
dropped fiat to earth.
Even Lieutenant Thomas Morley
Gray, as he sat smoking very methodl-
cally-as he did all things-upon the
top rider of a rickety rail fence beside
the roadway, appeared as utterly 1g-
norant that two great armies in blue
and gray were doggedly facing each
other in serried ranks not more than
three miles away, Notwithstanding
that he himself wore uniform whose
pcolor belied his name.
When an hour had passed-a long,
dragging hour, during which he mad
alternately famed himself with his
mat and waged unequal combat with
Nhe mosquitoes, which, despite the
smoke had declared hostilities-Gray
mt on his hat with determined air
and slid down from the fence. AS he
did so he saw a cloud of dust moving
along the roadway in his direction.
Then out of the dust-cloud emerged a
yellow dog, trotting along heavily with
his tongue lolling from his mouth.
Billy" said Gray, STOPPING to pat
the painting beast, good old Billy.
What-what the" he broke off sud-
denly in surprise, for tied to the dogs
collar was violet envelope of small
dimensions and the superscription on
1t was his own name. Gray snatched
the envelope and tore it open.
Dear old Tommy" he read.
"Humph," he interpolated. Il know
these dear old Tommies'-trouble."
He again turned to the note.
81 can't read Chaucer beneath the
big pine tree with you this afternoon
because I'm going out riding with Mr..
Bennett. Excuse haste and brevity,
but he is waiting for me now. l shall
show Billy your gauntlets here and
tell him to find you, which I'm sure he
will do. Now don't be angry and
make me call you Tommy Green
Eyes again.
Trusting Billy may find you soon,
HELEN"
Gray surveyed the cloudless sky for
several tumultuous moments.
Now, wouldn't that" he began.
The sentence died in an inane gurgle,
while Gray's face grew wrathfully
red and great beads of perspiration
stood on his forehead. Then he tore
q leaf from his notebook, hastily
scrawled a few words and tied it to
Billy's collar, where the other note
had reposed.
He arose, and. followed by the dog,
istalked down the road. When they
came to the fork Gray pointed down
the left-hand road and said, sternly,
Home, Billy. Home, sir" After he
had watched the dog trot of detected
ly into the dust he himself went slow
1y up the other road to sneak his way
back TO his company's bivouac.
Late that evening Billy scrambled
into the hammock where his mistress
lay. She saw the note and in the
dim light from the window beside her
read these words:
MY dear Helen:

noon. Undoubtedly 1t will be much
