An Honest Quaker.

A sheriff was once asked to execute
a writ against a Quaker On arriving
at his house he saw the Quaker's wife,
who in reply to the inquiry whether
her husband was at home said he was,
at the same time requesting him to be
seated, and her husband would speedi-
" see him. The officer waited pa
tiently for some time, when, the fair
Quakeress coming into the room. he
reminded her of her promise that he
might see her husband. Nay, friend.
I promised that he would see thee.
He has seen thee. He did not like thy
looks. Therefore he avoided thee and
hath departed from the house by an
other path"

Gus. The low spirited has no place in

The man who works for a bank is re-
spected in his community because it is
known that the character of his work
is important and particular. He must
not only be direct and speedy in what
he does, he must not only be faithful
and constant in all that he does, but
he must go a step further and do what
he does with a viii, and a good will
at that. Zeal requires interest and en-
thusiasm. One of the troubles with
the bank clerk is that his senses and
his buoyancy are apt to be dulIed by
the endless repetition OF details There
is no way to shirk it No bank clerk
can go home at night with his work

COLLEGE BOYS PULL
VETERANS IN WAGONS

During the recent state reunion at
Columbia, S. c., one of those i'm
promptu. scenes occurred which show
how deep and firmly implanted in the
Southern heart is the love for the ven
cradle men who followed the flag of
the South in the COS. We read of
triumphant marches and grand recep-
tions, but no king or potentate ever
felt prouder than did the veterans IN
the incident thus told by The State,
of Columbia:
Hon. George Bell Zimmerman, COM
mander of the United Sons of Veter-
ans of South Carolina, made ap-
plicarion to Chief May of the Colum-
bia fire department for two hose
wagons to be used in the parade yes
terday afternoon for hauling veterans
who were crippled or too feeble to
march. Independent No. and Co
lumbia No. 3 wagons were placed at
his. disposal Each wagon bore on
either side the following inscriptions:
When old we will care for them, y
and we are proud of them"
From the state house to the post
Office the feeble and crippled veterans
were picked up until the capacity of
the wagons was taxed to the utmost,
and more nappy bunch Inan these

of parade.
At the postoffice the fire horses
were unhitched and the two wagons
were drawn in the parade by the stu
dents of the University of South
Carolina. 1t was indeed a feature of
the parade and excited much admiring
comment from spectators along the
line of march.
1t was a sight to do ones heart
good to see these patriotic young col
legians pulling the wagons of precious
freight down the streets through
which many of these manned had
marched with buoyant step in the
SOS. The old fellows themselves
were very much affected and one OF
the most inspiring incidents of the
reunion was when rebel yell and col
lege yell intermingled and the gal
liant old fellows, in renewing their
youth in the excitement of the mo-
ment, waved aloft their cruthches,
from which were suspended the
jaunty garnet and black colors of the
grand old state university.

Patriotism in Brass and Marble.

We are reading daily of the unveil-
ing of monuments, and the projection
of Others, TO comm emorate the virtues
and heroism of the men and women
who for four years upheld the cause
of the South, as but few people have
done before them against such odds
Men die and records perish, and it is
fit that in marble, granite and brass
their virtues, and their sufferingS
should pass down the ages to their
children's children, from every county
and town in the south, so that our
descendants may point with pride to
these memorial tablets and from them
gather inspiration for like lives of
courage and devotion to their ideals
of liberty and justice.
The lessons and results which
spring from these mute witnesses to
the virtues of a peoples ancestry,
in the recent war between Rus
sia and Japan. All history does
not show such complete and per-
feet disregard of life and person
as was displayed by the rank and
| file of the Japanese armies. These
people worship at the tombs of their
ancestors. To be like them and die
| worthy of them, is the crowning glory
of their lives, nor is it wrong to do so.
To honor thy father and thy mother
is sacred injunction. with an added
blessing. In honoring them, we en-
noble our own lives and secure the
