Audubon a Missouri Grocer.

1t is not generally remembered that
the worldwide reputation of Audu-
bon as a naturalist. incidentally, is
due to his failure to establish himself
permanently as a Missouri grocery
merchant and dealer in the best
brands of Kentucky whisky.
In 1910 he and Ferdinand Rozier,
of Ste. Genevieve, loaded a keelboat
at Louisville, Ky, with 310 barrels
of whisky and groceries and started
down the Ohio and Mississippi to Ste.
Genevieve to open a grocery store.
The trip was made during the winter,
and the streams were so full OF ice
that the boat was drawn up against
the bank and winter quarters we're
established Just below Cape Girar-
deau, When Ste. Genevieve was
reached. after the opening of naviga-
tion. the firm of Audubon & RozierT
opened their store and did a pros
porous business. But the business
was done by Rozier, for Audubon pre-
ferred the woods to the counter and
devoted more of his time to sketching
and stufiing birds than he did to mar
keting the $40 barrels of good Ken
lucky bourbon, or any groceries. This
led to a dissolution of the partner
ship. On April IL, 1871, Audubon,

ness, sold out to Rozier and took up
the work for which he was better
fitted than any one who had lived
before or who has lived since, and
from a fourth rate grocer became tho
great ornithologist. The grocery bus

until finally it extended throughout
all of upper Louisiana Kansas

HOW TO LOVE
AND AVOID DIVORCE,
Bishop Fallows Has a HemsdY
to Unite Estrsnged Wives and
Husbands.

Bishop Samuel Fallows. of the Ke-
formed Episcopal Church, who found.
ed Christian Psychology. has taken
another plunge into the occult. He
announces a remedy to- unite estranged
husbands and wives and kill OF the
divorce evils. 1t Ia 10 be done by
suggestion and auto-suggestion. He
told all about It in an address on the
Psychology of Doubt.
The Bischop declared he had used
the method successfully. He also
gave an instance in which It had beer
used by Chicago lawyer to preyeH
a divorce between a man and wife.
To begin with. when a man or woman
desires to win back his or her mate,
the mind must be kept In a receptive
condition. The Bishop continues:
"one cannot believe unless he puts
himself in the position to believe;
one cannot love unless one puts him
self in the position to love; one can
not continue to love unless one wills
to continue to love. OF course, we
cannot will to love and then love, or
will 10 believe and then believe.
What the will can do is to create
by auto-suggestion Will in this sub
consciousness to continue In love or
TO believe. This make use Of IN ny
efforts TO reunite people who have
entered into the holy bonds OF matri-
mony and who think that they have
ceased TO love each other. have
never before made public what | say
in these private conversations. but I
viii do SO tonight to illustrate my
point
The first thing to do when one OF
these persons comes to me thinking
that he or she has ceased to love is
to set the will in operation to bring to
the sub-consciousness a consciousness
of the past 1t is idle to say. You
must love one another No amount
of will can bring that about; but the
will can summon recollection.
IL say to the troubled one, IL
woman, Go back over your whole
life. Go back and reflect on the time
that you were being wooed and won.
Did you take great magnifying glass
then to look for faults? Were you
happier than now? They say that
love is blind, but this is to be taken
in asIimited sense as blind to faults.
Nothing in the whole world is more
keen sighted to see good qualities.
You are blind to the good and taking
magnifying glass to the faults. Go
back into the past and think of the
way you sacrificed and toiled to make
the home. Recall the good times you
have had together.
in this way is created by auto
suggestion the will to continue in
love. which may prove more power-
ful than the false belief that they
cannot love
This same method can bring about
marriage
Bishop Fallows concluded with
.hese epigrams:
Love once and you must love al
ways. Love cannot be killed once it
Is instilled. There is no earthly
power that can make two people fail
in love with each other. If two peo-
pie really love each other once that
love can always be revived. Deep in
their hearts they will always love
one another. Divorces are but the
'imaxes of half-hearted battles"

graves OF the soldier dead with flags
and flowers is in no sense gloomy or
morbid. 1t is uplifting, Inspiring, re-
assuring. 1t is a wholesome cere-
mOnial, significant of the survival Of
patriotism. of the fruits of sacrifice,
of the glories of reunion. The tears
that are shed are often tears of JOY.
The graves are honored resting places.
The em5lems placed upon them are
tokens of the esteem and gratitude Of
millions of people. The widow, daugh-
ter, son or grandchild of the soldier
sleeping under the sod can not but
feel proud of his participation In the
great strife for vital principle and
exult in the signs Of a Nations de
voiion to him and his comrades.
The humblest bearer of a musket
receives to-day as warm tribute as
does the most renowned wearer Of
shoulder-straps. Memorial Day knows
no gradation of military rank. The
men who fought and fell were all
heroes, and as such are honored to-day
without discrimination. The same flag
covered them when they were buried.
The saddest note of all to-day is
sounded BY the drums to the music

LA PLATA MARYLAND. FRIDAY MAY 20. 1905

John7 Il is indeed pathetic to see
how he loves you, and yet you pay
him so little attention
Decoration Day was drawing near,
and a celebration was being planned
to take place at the town hall. There
were TO be speeches and singing, and
famous speaker was coming up
from the nearby city to address the
old soldiers. Uncle John was up
early that morning. He was to march
In the parade with the rest Of the
Post, and seats were to be reserved
for them in the hall
"Oiive, you must 60" urged her
mother at the last moment, and final

ed. But as she took a seat with her
mother in the hall, festooned with its
flags. its bunting. its flowers. little
quiver OF patriotism swept over her
for the first time Memorial Day did
mean something, and when, in few
moments, the old soldiers filed in,
most Of them old men with white hair
and trembling steps. a tear shone on
her long lashes. for Olive was not a
wilful girl, only a very thoughtless
one. After the singing and the re-
peating Of Lineoln's speech at Gettys-
burg. the speaker arose. an erect man
with a keenly intellectual face full Of
force and strength. He began with a
tribute to the gray-haired veterans
before him; told how, when a small
boy. he first became a patriot by lis
tening to a one-armed soldier in the
city hall Of Boston give the history
of the different flags gathered there
and the battles they had been in. He
spoke of Lincoln. that tall. plain, an
gular man, who, at the firing of the
guns at Fort Sumter, took the posi-
tion he did. Has It ever occurred
to you," he went on, that Lincoln
might have acted little too hastily
or little too late7 But no; the
psychological moment came He
seized It, and the war went on to a
victorious close" He spoke of Grant.
Sheridan, Sherman-and then he
paused a moment. MAY ask he
added. 'if there is anyone here who
was in that march to the sea-that
famous, memorable march, now
passed into history2"
Olive sat still. She wished some
one of those old veterans sitting near
had been there. And then, In the
hush and stiffness, someone arose.
1t was Uncle John, old and bent and
feeble. but with a faint flush upon
his withered cheeks.
"Ahl" cried the speaker. 81 con-

To watch the closing of the march,
The start we never knew
And so, mid bent and halting forms,
Midst battle-hags of yore,
We catch no vision Of the lads
Who went-and came no more.
These that We see are aged men,
Not strong and debonair,
As when they pressed to bloody field
And left their boyhod there
We young review with careless eyes
A great and moving sight;
Within our souls their bugle wakes
An echo all too light.
All, we should come with prayerful mien,
With hushed and reyerent feetl
They strewed the blossoms Of their youti
To make our Maytime sweet.
