THE UNION
VETERAN LEGION

Encampment No. 81, Union Veteran
Legion, held it's banquet at the CITY
Hotel, Danville, last night. Tie oc-
casion as is usual with these annual
affairs proved a happy reunion, Ill
which those who fought side by side
met together to make merry around
the banquet board, to recount the deeds
of camp and field and relate the ex-
perieuces of subsequent years III the
less tragic, though hard fought bat
ties of daily life.
No one is eligible to mem bershlp III
the Union Veteran Legion but soldiers
of the Union Army, Navy and Marine
Corps during the War of the Rebel
lion, who volunteered for term oil
three years and were honorably dis
charged for any cause after service
of at least two continuous years or
were at any time discharged by reason
of wounds, received in the line of duty
provided said enlistment was pre-
vious to July 1, 1868. No drafted per-
son, no substitute, nor any person who
at any time bore arms against the
United States is eligible to member
ship in the Union Veteran Legion.
The membership of Enoampment No.
81, U. V. L., which takes in Blooms
burg and DanviIle, is therefore, neces-
sarily not large. The headquarters are
at Bloomsbury Charles S. Fornwald,
of that place is Colonel Commander
and DR.. Jno. Sweisfort, of this city,
Lieutenant Colonel About a dozen
members of the encampment came
down from Bloomsbury on the trolley
and were Joined by about the same
number of Danville members.

was a very sumptuous affair, served
in Landlord Meyers usual tasteful
aud elegant style. The menu:

quet.

Nearly two hours were whiled away
around the table. None of the mem
beTs had been called by death during
the past year nor was there anything
TO saddeD the occasion. lStory telling
as usual was taking feature and fun
and merriment ran high. On parting
the members agreed that the banquet
was by no means the least ENJOYABLE
of the eight or ten that have been held
in the enCampment's history.

Winter Weather.

Conditions yesterday seemed posi-
lively wintry. The autumual atmos-
phere passed limit when it could not
he appropriately termed bracing: - it
was positively chilly and d!-agreeable
and no one tarried out of doors longer
than necessary. At the same time peo-
pie will be surprised to learn that at
no time during the daylight hours did
mercury fall much below 30 degrees.

Putting His Logic to the Test.

The old couple were eating Their
first meal with their son after his re-
turn from collge.

"Oh, lots Of things" said the son,
as he recited off his course Of studies.
"Then," he concluded, 81 also stu
dy logic"
Logic" said the old man. What
is that p
"It's the art of reasoning" said the
son.
1.-THE art of reasoning" said the
father. "What is that my boy"
well, replied the son, "let me
give you a demonstration. How
many chickens are on that dish, faith
er ?"
1.-TWO, said the old man,
"Well, said John, 81 can prove
that there are three" Then he stuck
his fork in one and said THAT is
one, isn't it ?"
"Yes," said the father.
"And this is two, sticking the
fork in the second.
"Yes," replied the father again.
well, don't one and two make
three?'' replied John triumphantly.
"Well, l declare, said the father,
you have learned things at college.
"Well, mother, continued the old
man to bis wife, 81 will give you one
Of the chickens to eat and III take the
other, and John can have the third.

Necessity Of Etiquette.

People who chsfe against the re-
strictions, customs and unwritten laws
laid down by society should stop for
a few minutes and think seriously OF
what would be the result if every per-
son were a law unto himself or herself
in all the daily matters that have to
do with social life.
In reality it is the unwritten law
of etiquette that binds society togeth-
er.
Without il there would be no check
on rudeness and bad manners, and
those peoE lie who are only polite be-
cause they are Obliged to be would
behave as badly and as ruIely as
their natural man dictated.
Social laws have grown 10 their
present state very gradually, as the
necessity arose for their use, aud as
time and custom required.
In oIden days the laws of chlvalry
proclaimed that Difference Was due
to the weaker sex, that MN should
wait upon the woman and uphold her
honor at all cost, and it is still owing
to the survival Of these laws that pre-.
cedence is given to the woman; the
man Is introduced to her, he uncovers
his head in acknowledgment of her
salutation, he waits upon her, and is
ready always to perform any service
she may ask.
Many who call themselves ladies
and gentleman display table manners
tnat are anything but refined.
There ls, OF course, nothing Grim
inaI IN putting ones knife in ones
mouth instead OF the fork, but 1T Is
not considered good form, and 1t is
custom certainly unpleasant to wit
ness.
Like so many other things, the law
of etiquette should be used and not
abused but, of course, this is what
many people seem to forget. There
are some who are .sbsurdly ceremon-
ious and formal. This .is ridiculous,
and the laws of etiquette are not made
so hard and fast that they cannot be
relaxed. Among friends too much
ceremony is both foolish and unneces-
eary, but among strangers it is both
law and a guidance.
1t tells one at once where they
may place the people whom they meet
and helps them to form an estimate
Of any stranger on even a very short
acquaintance.
