The Wearer of the Bronze Button.

We regret that the writer of the fol-
lowing eulogy is unknown to US and
that we are in consequence unable to
give him the much deserving credit to
which he is entitled:
! "Sometimes in passing along the
street L meet man who, in the left
lapel of his coat, wears a little plain,
modest, unassuming bronze button.
The coat is often old and rusty; the
face scanned and furrowed by the toll
and suffering of adverse years: per-
haps above it hangs an empty sleeve,
or below it stumps wooden leg.
But when [ meet the man that wears
that button L doff. my hat and stand
uncovered in his presence-yea! to me
the very dust his weary feet has
pressed is holy ground; for I know
that man, in the dark hour of the ma
TONS peril barred his breast to the
hell of battle to keep the flag of our
country in the Union sky.
MAYBE at Donaldson he reached
the inner trench; at Shiloh, held the
broken line; at Chattanooga, climbed
the fame-swept hill. or stormed the
clouds on Lookout Heights. He was
not born or bred to soldier life. His
country's summons called him from
the pillow, the bench, the forge, the
loom, the mine, the store, the Office,
the college, the sanctuary. He did
not fight for greed or gold, to find ad-
venture or to win renown.
HE loved the peace of quiet ways,
and yet ne left the clasp of cling1ng
arms, turning from the witching
glance of tender eyes, left goodbye
kisses on tiny lips to look death in
the face on desperate fields. And
when the war was over he quietly took
up the broken threads of love and life
as best he could, a better citizen for
having been good SOLDIER"

We find in Isaiah I, 20, the follow

it shall also consume the beard. :"
This seems to partially verify the
contention of Darwin that our ances-
tors were covered with hair.

CULLED FUNNY STORIES.

"A Good One on a Swede and One on Mrs.
B1ddy Casey.
Ellis Parker Butler tells some good
funny stories in Success and here are
two Of the best from the August num-
Der of that magazine:
I can still get up a laugh for the
story of the Chinaman who was CO.
ing along the street on a chilly win
ter day, with his bag of soiled linen
over his shoulder and the wind blow
ing his Tapping blue blouse, and who
met Mrs. Casey carrying a basketful
OF clothes. John was as polite as a
Chinaman always is, and he paused
long enough to say pleasantly, "Belly
cold today, ma 'm.'' Mrs. Casey
looked at him with all the contempt
that an Irishman has for a "for-
eigner. " "Belly cold, is it," she
said, scornfully. ''Well, ye haythen,
if ye tucked yer shirt into yer pants
loike Christian, yer belly w'u'dn't
be cold"
Not Irish, but delightful, is the
story of the automobilist who. in
making a cross-country tour in Da-
kota, had the misfortune to have his
machine break down. He saw a. small
house not far off and cut across to it.
The only man about the place was a
Swede, who was much amused by the
sight of the strange rig the automo-
bilist wore. my friend,'' said the
automobiles, "my machine has had a
bad break and I would like to know
if you have such a thing as monkey
wrench about here" The Swede
looked at the automobilist with
greater curiosity than ever, and then
laughed. He had met some strange
folks and heard some odd things
since he had come to America, but
this was the worst! 'sMonkey

Diversifying Industries.
In his recent speech at Great Falls,
Mont, President Hill of the Great
Northern road >, stated a fact we'll
known to every observer of our pres
ent industrial conditions. He stated
that while the miners of Montana were
a beneficial class of citizens it was the
men who had the roots in the ground
who were the bone and sinew of a
state and who were in a large measure
the source of its wealth.
One who has seen the condition
Of the coal fields of Pennsylvania is
able to realize the truth of Mr.. Hill's
statement. That state is practically
devoted entirely to mining. The agri-
cultural resources cut but little figure
in the wealth of the state. In fact ex-
cept in the river valleys farming on
an extensive scale is out of the ques-
tion because of the mountainous char
acter of the land.

Among the Troops.

St. Petersburg, June 6.-There is serious un-
rest among the troops, the only stay OF the ad-
ministration in case of open rupture with
parliament Reports of q mutfnous spirit are
being received from many quarters. In addi-
ton to the Kursk troubles, which in spite of the
official disclaimer that they are OF a political
character are known TO have been fomented
by revolutionists, there IS open disaffection
among the garrison of Odessa, while the Cos
sacks at Rostoff- -on-Don and elsewhere are NUT
tering because OF their long absence from their
homes.
1t is learned that the new recruits. instead Of
revivifying tho loyalty of the army, have in
fected the ranks still further with the revolu-
tIonary spirit which is widespread among the
peasantry.
Undoubtedly it is too early 70 say that the
army cannot be depended upon and that an
armed uprising is imminent, but II is certain
that dsaffection has made wide strides since
last summer and the revoutionists are now
bending their entire efforts 10 the work or sap

Pittsburg June 6.-The announcement is made
here to-day by friends of the late Thomas
O'Connor Jones' who killed himself yesterday.
that the most likely reason for the deed was
that Jones had been lately crossed in love-
While he left nothing to show why he should
blow out his brains. his close friends say that
II was because he had failed TO win his cousin.

April II TO the Rev. Maitland Alexander. pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg
and a member of the New York family OF Alex
anders.
Jones had admired his cousin since childhood.
and until a year ago no secret was made of his
affection for her. She discouraged him, how
ever and both families frowned the suit be-
cause of oonsanguinity. Jones was firm in the
idea that he could ultimately marry her.
According to friends. he did not give up until
he heard the words Of the ceremony that made
her Mrs Alexander. and then he went home and
later collapsed. Since that time he failed daily.
and the family. fearing something would hap
pen kept close watch on him and hired well
known specialist to care for him. Mrs. Murdoch,
his mother also helped to watch her son.

did not insist that Mrs. Murdoch tell of the last
conversation she had with her son near day
