Gus was a wild delight. Joe had
only seen one procession of that
kind, and it had remained a JOY
forever. But he wasn't critical; q
wedding or funeral, so there was
procession, was joy to him.
Of course he had seen several Me-
mortal Days, but he took little note
Of time, and somehow it had never
occurred to him before that they
required regularly like Christmas,
the one great holiday. And now
he wanted to know what for. So
Nanny told once more, and very
graphic she made the story. I'm
fortunately, she had had a very
harsh master, in slavery days, and
she drew so vivid a picture of how
Joe would have to Stan roun' if
ole marse had got hold" of him,
that the boy looked apprehensively
about for that dread parsonage,
and was much relieved to know
that he was dead. "Killed in de
war, honey, like all de rest" And
then she told of the coming of the
Northern army" Marse Linkum's
men"-and of the brave soldiers
some of them mere boys who laid
down their lives there, "the men
who died." and who slept peace
fully enough under the pines, with
all discord over at last. And Joe,
as she told of the day set apart to
keep their memory green, resolved
that he, too, would march in the
procession tomorrow and carry
flowers for "the men who died"
He didn't say anything to Man,
my of that, though, for he knew
she would object. laws, honey |!
she would say, you amt got no
legs TO dat" and, indeed, poor
Joe's crippled limbs and limping
gait were poorly fitted for process
sions, however willing his stput
heart might be. No he wouldn't
say word; but he'd get up early
tomorrow, and go for flowers
there were gay pink and yellow
ones in the swamp, way up the
Branch-a long way for him to
hobble, but he knew of none nearer.
Then he'd get back in time to Join
the procession, and would carry his
posy with the biggest of them.
Mammy'd be proud enough when

light-wood, stuck in all sorts of
ways, would permit. In this rig
Joe would drive along certain
streets which he considered his
special property, and try to sell his
cargo. Sometimes he got five or
ten cents sometimes, if nobody
happened to want any light-wood,
he still got something to eat. In
one place there was lady from
up north" She always gave him
doughnuts, but she wanted him to
learn to read and spell, and Joe
suspected her of designs to enforce
this desire. So he usually steered
clear of her, preferring corn-bread
and liberty.
Nanny took in washing when
she could get it, carrying the full
basket poised on her head as she
went and came. She went out
scrubbing and cleaning, too, when
ever her services were called for.
They earned little, but they wanted
little. 1t was miserable, shiftless
way of living, but then it was the
best they knew, and as long as
they were neither cold nor hungry,
they were perfectly content, and
found life good, as the birds and
squirrels do.
The cabin was a small log affair
with bare ground all about it-not
very tidy, certainly. The wooden
shutter was thrown back, and the
sunshine streamed pleasantly in at
the window, which boosted neither
sash nor glass. The open door
sagged a good deal, and the whole
place had that unn1istakable day-
Ky look about it everywhere. A
hen and some half-grown chick
ems roamed about, and little
black pig followed his own sweet
will hither and yon, not disdaining
the shelter of the cabin when it
pleased him. And. indeed, why
should he? He was one of the
family, and Joe, at least, always
gave him cordial welcome. He
wasn't quite sure of Mammy's.
1t was seldom that Joe troubled
himself or Nanny with questions
of any kind; but to-day he had
happened to hear two women talk
ing of Memorial Day, and some
thing about the procession and
flowers. Now, if there was any
thing Joe loved, it was a process

the men who died, don't you know?
OATS what it means" Joe didn't
appear to be much enlightened.
"De men who died?" he repeated
questioningly, looking up with
those bright eyes of his.
He was the blacklist little speci-
men that ever was. The ace of
spades was nothing to him
Charcoal would make white
mark on him." But the white teeth
cleaned, and the big eyes shone,
and the woolly hair knotted itself
into the Funniest little fuzz you ever
did see. AS for his costume, it
wasn't much to boast of; nothing
but rags, and not too many of
them. But Joe didn't care,-not
he! He was as free as the birds,
and lived as careless and irrespon-
sible a life. When the sun shone,
and all was bright, he rejoiced as
they did; when it was cold and dis
NAL, he crept into his own little
nest of a cabin, rolled himself up
in all the rags he could gather,
curled into a small heap, as close
to the fire as he could get, and
waited for fair weather.
He had two treasures: Jack, a
thin, gaunt, yellow cur q really
can't call him anything else), and
Billy, an old goat once white, but
not at all particular about his pre-
sent appearance, and with the
beard of patriarch. Belonging
with Billy was cart made of an
old box perched between two
wheels much too high for it, and
with a board nailed across, on
which, Joe would sit as proudly as
any dandy young Englishnan in
his dog-cart. This wagon was
usually periously loaded with
"lightwood," picked up here and
there; and to see Joe driving over
the rough, uneven sidewalks, now
on the planks, now off; now with
a wheel caught in a crack, now TIL

INSPIRATION DRAWN FROM A BALL
GAME REDUCED TO BUSINESS MAxlMS

AS an evidence that men draw in
spiration oftentimes from good game
of baseball the following from the
Farm Implement News has found it's
way into the offices of the Moline Wag-
on company where President Rosen-
field has used it TO point a moral TO
the boys on the road. II is clever bit
Of work and worth preserving.
GINGER TALK FROM THE COACH
ER'S BOX.
Work hard. old man. Work hard!"
Ever notice that the best player on
the team usually had the most dust on
his uniform? Ever notice how he got
il?
Well. he got II from going after the
ball-sliding 10 a base-putting some
opposing player out.
He never noticed the dust-didnt
have time-he was too busy playing
the game-increasing his averages and
making scores.
He let the fellow on the bench wor-
ry about dusty clothes, as he had the
time and didn't have any average TO
look after. That's why he was on
the bench.
And the better the player the more
games he has 10 play; and the more
games he plays, the better players he
gets to be
He's the chap that is usually heard1
encouraging his teammates with work
hard, old man! Work hard" That's
the way he is working.
In business he may not shout it; but
you know it just the same by the eX
ample that he sets.
Know it by his average and h.sI
scores-by the dust he gets in his
clothes.
By results. the kind of results that
will convince all the "show-me-our |
ians" on the map.
Know it by the way that he enthuses
every one around him, making them !
help him in the game.
He's the chap that goes after bust
ness-gets business.
And if there doesn't happen to be
business enough to get, he increases

1t by creating a demand for some new
thing first while the other fellow Won
ders how he did it
He does it by being always on the
alert. taking advantage of every new
idea-keeping in the game.
Cuts out the old plays-passes up
the shop-worn tactics-tries all the
new ones until he finds the one that's
1t -
When he's found it. that's when he
shouts the loudest: Word hard. old
man, Work hardi"
He knows that il won't be long be-
fore the other fellow will. by force
of necessity, have learned some of the
new plays-perhaps copied his-may-
be improved them.
That 10 reap the benefits of his en-
terprise he must maintain his advan-
tage-mOre. he must increase it.
Remembering. also. that there are
good players on the other side and
they may be working hard-may have
developed some new plays that must
also be learned.
That it is easier to keep ahead than
it is TO get ahead in the first place.
That you have TO run twice as fast
to catch up when you have let the
other fellow pass You. as you would
TO keep up with or ahead of him.
That no matter what the game orI
who the player-how effective-how
well played somebody figures ont a
way TO beat it.
That's what makes il interesting.
There's no fun winning a game that
is easy to win. It's the game tLat
keeps you guessing that is worth
while.
The game that takes ability. aggres-
s.veness. perseverance and everything |
that's in a man to win is the kind
that's the playing and the kind that
when won.
It's the hard game that takes nard
work: but the harder the game, the
greater the victory when won. Z
And to win that kind of a game
means Word hard, old man! Work
nard!"

Something to Think About

In concluding an item about
the young man arrested recently
10 jasper aud taken to the county
Jail, the Carthage Press says:
incidentally this is the first
prisoner that Jasper has sent
to the county Jail for months,
and maybe years."
Yes, it has been years. If we
remember right, the last prisoner
Jasper sent to the county Jail be-
fore the present instance, was
three years ago last Christmas
when old man Crews used his
knife on J. b. Hall. And by the
way, the case last week was not
strictly a Jasper case, the criminal
merely being arrested in Jasper,
having committed the crime at
another point.
AS far as Jasper is concerned
the county could get along with
out jail altogether as well as the
criminal court alsp. That's tie
beauty of having no saloons, and
if the rest of the county was mi
nus the saloon the county would
not be in such sore need of a new
Jail. Saloons and crowded Jail
go hand in hand.
According to some peoples no.
ton of a live town jasper might
be considered "slow" because
of her lack of business in
criminal circles. But the
only thing she is slow on
is criminals. When it comes TO
wide-awke get-up-and-get-there in
a business sense, there is. nothing
slow about Jasper.
