This book of my life ends on bright
morning in the summer of II, at the
new home of James Donatianus LIE
Ray, Comte de Chaumont, the chateau
having burned the year before.
President Monroe is coming on the
woods-pike, and veterans are drawn up
in line to meet him. Here are men
who fought at Chippewa and Lundy's
Lane and Lake Erie and Chrysler's
Farm. and here are some old chaps
who fought long before at Plattsburg
and Ticonderoga. Joseph Bonaparte,
the eX-king of Spain, so like his mighty
brother at ST. Helena, is passing the
line He steps proudly, in ruffles and
green velvet Gondolas with liveried
gondoliers, and filled with fair women,
are floating on the still lake, now rich
with shadow-pictures of wood and sky
and rocky shore.
A burst of melody rings in the great
harp of the woodland. In that trumpet
peal, it seems a million voices sing:
Hail. Columbia, happy land!
Slowly the line begins to limp along.
There are wooden legs and crutches
and empty sleeves in that column. D'ri
goes limping in front, his right leg
gone at the knee since our last charge.
Draped around him is that old battle
flag of the Lawrence l march beside
him, with only this long seam across
my cheek to show that had been with
him that bloody day at Chrysler's
We move slowly over a green field to
the edge of the forest. There. in the
cool shadow, are ladies in white and
long tables set for feast My dear

than ever, comes to meet us.

bugle sounds; the cavalcade is
coming.
THE President" they cry, and we
ell begin cheering.
He leads the escort on black horse,
a fine figure in military coat and white
trousers, his cooked hat in hand. a
smile lighting his face. The count re-
ceives him and speaks our welcome.
President Monroe looks down the war
scarce Cine a moment. His eyes fill
with teoeB, and then he speaks to us.
Sons of the woodsmen," says he,
concluding his remarks, you shall live
in the history of a greater land than
that We now behold or dream of. and
In the gratitude of generations yet un-
born, leAg, long after We are turned to
dust"
And then we all sing loudly with full
hearts:

with swea: and blood and shattered
bone
Gods grain. that ever doth increase
The goodly harvest Of his peace.

On Reading Newspapers,

Every man should read one good
newspaper each day. 1 do not mean,
Of course, that he should read every
thing in it; but he should go over the
entire contents, carefully making his
selections and reading attentively the
articles which give promise Of being
helpful or instructive. The weekly,
and. more particularly, the monthly
reviews are also Of great value, from
the fact that they fan-Iiiarize their
readers with current history-which,
after all, is the most important his
tory-while at the same time possess
ing some advantages over the daily
newspapers, because the editors are
not compelled to accept first reports,
and also have an opportunity to cor
rect any inaccuracies which may
creep into hurriedly prepared discus
SONS of subjects Nevertheless, these
reviews must ever but supplement the
daily newspapers, for we are not con-
tent. in this age, to wait until the end

Hardwood Timber Too Valuable Now
and Wire Takes It's Place.

Hardwood Timber Too Valuable Now
and Wire Takes It's Place.
The country youths of to-day have
no rail-splitting records to boast Of.
Rail making is an industry of the past
There are a few remote localities in
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri,
and Arkansas, where occasional new
stretches of worm fence may still be
seen, but these new rails are SO rare a
sight as to excite comment.
The passing of the old worm fence
is due to the scarcity of timber. Wire
fences are replacing the zigzag rows
OF rails in the region where timber was
formerly abundant When a rail fence
becomes so dilapidated as to be no
longer seryiceable it is taken down
and the rails which are in a good state
of preservation are used to repair
other stretches Of fence and wire fence
Is put In its place. Another advan-
tage OF the wire fence is that it econo-
mixes space. The land that was for
merly taken up by the fence corners Is
reclaimed.
The fate of the rail fence was de-
clared less than twenty years ago.
when the value of walnut, oak, and.
poplar timber increased to such q
figure as to make wire fences cheap
er. In the worm fences still in exist
ence there are thousands of walnut
and popular rails In an almost perfect

are valuable. An enterprising Chicago
concern recently made that discovery,
and its representatives have purchased

life. Many are still in use which were
split more than fifty years ago.-Wash-

GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD

"and it is not surprising that l con-
tracted rheumatism For three years I
had attacks affecting the joints of my
ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles
and knees became so swollen / could
scarcely walk on uneven ground and a
little pressure from a stone under my
feet would cause me so much pain that I
would nearly sink down. l was often
obliged to lie in bed for several days at a
time. My friends who were similarly
troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and did not feel encouraged to
throw money away for nothing. BY
chance read the story of Robert Yates,
of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of
Dubuque, who had very bad case Of
rheumatism decided to try DR.. Will

and the tenderness disappeared, could
