This increase of course from the only two great

The financial history of the country shows that

this and from internal (aso luxury

There is nothing mysterious about government book

credit side of the cash book much faster than the debit

When deficit gets large government does the in

Is not borrowing On the contrary the treasurer
ful-handed that he is redeeming high interest rate

bonds command premium.
What does the surplus and the refunding mean?
1t means that is scarcely possible that panic should

shoddy nothing that will give way sudden stress The
danger of pancs is in speculation and there is specu

guns at Fort Sumter began to boom
for Uncle Dick as hostile as ever.
In public meeting day speak
err emitted reference to the "de-
served defeat of the rebels" where
upon Uncle Dick reared up and
banged a bench so fiercely that the
splintered end Of his cane whizzed
away like bullet and hit old Billy
Wilson behind the ear. One dele
cation packed the old man out to
the pump, while another kept Uncle
Dick away from the astounded
speaker and labored to restore
peace.

Numbered. preserved her honah,
which is something no Yankee ever
had to preserve, and therefor she
was not conquered. She was oyah-

But the numbing influence OF age
gradually invested Uncle Dick, and
while he seldom spoke his thought,
1t became plain that his faftering
faculties had turned back to the
great days he lived In younger
manhood. In dreams he bah8led Of

he lovingly fondled a shre&Sof the
Stars and Bars alone.
Not until the trouble began with
Spain and Fitzhugh Lee became a
national figure was there anything
else in life for Uncle Dick. He had
served with Lee in another cause
and was loyal to him still in a
pathetic way, although Lee was un-
deniably reconstructed.
When news of the sinking of the
Maine came Uncle Dick marched
the yeranda for an hour muttering
"The d scOundrels," and
humping the floor with his cane.
And the Stars and Bars appeared
no more, although the Stars and

RECONSTRUCTED

Uncle Dick stumped away from
Richmond after Appomoattox recon
structed somewhat anatomically
but otherwise not at ALL His per-
sonal submission was not included
in the articles Lee signed, but he
recognized the fact that Yankees
were too numerous for him to carry
on the war alone, and turned his
horse homeward, rebellion still hot
within him.
Later. in a cold rain, 1t didn't
soften him any to accept a blue
overcoat from good natured sol
der, but he had to take it or run
the risk Of dying by the roadside.
The soldier refused courteous ten
der of the heavy-faced rebels horse
in return, and Uncle Dick travelled
on slowly up the desolated Shenan-
doah valley.
The first glimpse he got of the
plantation multiplied his bitterness.
What needy confederates had over
looked angry Yankees had burned
or broken. In the single cabin left
standing he found his wife, broken
and slatternly. His son he left with
Pickett's dead at Gettysburg, and
fever had taken the baby daughter
while Uncle Dick lay helpless in an
army hospital. His wife had seen
the negroes leave, the stock driven
away and her home despoiled and
burned In the relentless raiding
that FASTENED the end of the con-
federacy.
That Is why Uncle Dick came to
California. AS the years went by
his hatred gradually smoldered
lower, until he reached a point
where he could even meet G. A.
R. man on friendly footing, so long
as no mention was made of the
Civil war. Let that happen and the

Stripes were flying from every pole

Stripes were flying from every pole
In town.
One beautiful evening of the Cal
ifornia spring I sat with Uncle
Dick on the veranda. Out in the
plaza the band was playing pa
triotic airs, and on the avenue the
militia was preparing for service.
The lifting strains of the Star
Spangled Banner" had delivered
their inspiring message, and then
the quick music of Dixie" came
shooting through the magnolias.
"My boy" the old man said, turn
ing in his easy chair, "our country
is going to war. Our country, my
boy, God bless her forever! Presi-
dent Mckinley learned to fight in
the greatest school on earth. He'll
be ready when the times comes"
Uncle Dick sank back, overcome
by his feeling, and I stood over him
to hear the words lovingly spoken:
"And when the regiments march
out, thank God, they'll all be
dressed in blue"
A few days later we bore the
battle MANNED body to the grave
with the Stars and Stripes and the
stars and bars closely twained on
his coffin.
Uncle Dick was reconstructed.
