It is a warrior whom 10 victory
can satisfy, no ruin satiate. It pauses
at no Rubicon to consider, pitches
no tents at night, goes into no quar-
ters for winter. 1t conquers amid
the burning plains Of the South
where the phalanx of Alexander
halted in mutiny. 1t conquers amid
the snow drifts Of the North where
the Grand Army of Napoleon found
it's winding sheet. Its monuments
are in every burial ground. Its
badges of triumph are the weeds
which mourners wear. Its song OF
victory is the wall that was heard in
Ramah-"Rachel crying for her
children and weeping because they
are not"
The sword is mighty, and its
bloody traces reach across time,
from Nineveh to Gravelotte, from
Marathon to Gettysburg. Yet
mightier is its brother, the wine cup.
| say "brotfer, and history says
| brother" Castor and Polluy never
fought together in more fraternal
harmony. David and Jonathan new
er Joined in more generous rivalry.
Hand in hand, they nave come down
the centuries, and upon every scene
of carnage, like vulture and shadow,
they have met and Toasted.
Yea; pair Of giants, but the
greater is the wine cup. The sword
has a scabbard, and is sheathed; has
a conscience, and becomes glutted
with havoc; has pity, and gives quar-.
ter to the vanquished: The wine
cup has no scabbard and no con.
science; its appetite is cancer which
grows as you feed it; to pity, it is
deaJ; to suffering. it is blind.
The sword is the lieutenant Of
Death, but the wine cup his captain
and if ever they come home to hin
from the wars bringing their troph
les, Boosting of their achievements
l can imagine that Death, their mas
ter will meet them with garland:
! and song, as the maidens Of Judes
met Saul and David. Bot as ht

who has slain his thousands; but ths
wine cup is my David, who has slail

Charles Reynolds, who was swept

storm the night of September 8, 1900,
has been restored to his parents. TIE
cilild, then four years Old, was pick

was sent to an orphan asylum at
Dallas and soon adopted by a farmer
living in southwest Missouri.

with a rowing band Of gypsy horse
traders coming to Texas. A visitor
to the camp learned that the l2year-
old lad had been told that his parents

Mrs. Reynolds. now living al Shreve-

believed her boy had persisted, bat
she travelled on horseback 60 miles
to overtake the gypsy band. At the
