Impress of a Career.


Impress of Career.
Much of the usefulness of any career
must lie in the impress that it makes
upon, and the lessons that it teaches
to, the generations that come after. We
of this generation have our own problems
to solve, and the condition of our solving
as American citizens without regard to
differences of section or creed or birth
place, copying, not the divisions which
so lamentably sundered our fathers one
from another, but the spirit of burning
devotion to duty which drove them for
ward, each to do the right as it was
given him to see the right, in the great
years when Grant, Faragut, Sherman
Thomas and Sheridan, when Lee and
Jackson, and the Johnstons, the valiant
men of the north and the valiant men of
the south, fought to a finish the great
Civil war They did not themselves real
ize in the bitterness of the struggle, that
the blood and the grim suffering marked
the death thoes of what was worn out
and the birth pangs of a new and more
glorious national life. Mighty is the
heritage which we have received from
the men of the mighty days. We, in our
turn, must grid up our loins to meet the
new issues with the same stern courage
and resolute adherence to an ideal, which
marked our fathers who belonged to the
generation of the man in whose honor we
commemorate this monument today.

a REASON FOR 1T.

Reedsburg Times The stamp
should be in the upper right-hand cor
ner, not in the middle of the enveI-
opes, neither on the back nor in the
southeast corner. There is just one
proper place for the stamp. and that
is in the upper right-hand corner.
There is d reason for this The
stamp is cancelled by a contrivance
that not only defaces it but at the
same operation impresses upon the
envelope the name of the pOstoffice
WhC~e mailed. the date and the hour.
I the stamp is properly placed. the
cancallin2 stamp or machine does not
interfere with the address, which
should not be written above the mid
die of the envelope. Further, if the
stamps are properly placed on letters
the, work of the postal employees is
greatly facilitated. Remember, that
the work of cancelIing stamps is usu-
ally done with speed. A letter with a
misplaced stamp delays the game and
usually gets an extra whack with the
cancelling stamp for the clerk can not
always check the blow in time. The
letter goes on its way, marred with a
lot of unnecessary black ink and call
ing attention to the carelessness of
the sender.
The following rules, if followed
will afford the sender greater secur-
ity.

something happened to one of their
wheels. They got off and endeavored
TO tinker" it themselves; and as
they were at the work a man came
along.
Can I help you?" he asked, with
great courtesy, and they explained
the trouble as we'll as they could.
"Oh, yes" he said, I'm sure I can
tx that all right"
So he went at it like a man used
to such accidents, and soon had it
fixed.
There he said, I think you will
find that in good shape. Let me try
it and see
He mounted the wheel and road
away, the young women watching
him gratefully. But their gratitude
soon changed to dismay, for he made
no sign of returning, and, as mat
ter of fact, he has not returned to
