Maine Memorial Meeting.

That one of the tenets of the Unit
ed States Spanish War Veterans is
the complete reunion of the north
and south as a result of the war with
Spain was evidenced yesterday after
noon at the battleship Maine memo
rial meeting in Grand Army hall. The
old rebel yell rang out clea rand dis
tinct, the orchestra played the STIR
ring notes of Dixie, and the audi
ence arose and joined in the hurri-
cane of applause as Maj. j. Mcdowell
Darlington, commander of the United
Confederate Veterans Camp of the
District, stepped to the front OF the
stage to deliver his address. The
battle yell of the men of Lee and
Jackson was uttered by Spanish war
veterans, sons of southern soldiers,
in their uniforms of blue and gray,
typifying the reunion of the sections.
Maj Darlington was presented to
the assemblage by Col. M. Emmett
Urell, the presiding officer, who is
president of the Medal of Honor
Legion, U. s. A., and who fought on
the side of the Union in the civil
war and was wounded.
Maj Darlington is member of
another grand old army" Col. Urell
said. There could not have been
one Grand Army with out the other.
The men on both sides in the civil
war were equally valorous. The
world never witnessed such bravery
as was exhibited by the men in blue
and the men in gray"
1--WE are all now citizens of COM
mon and beloved country under the
Stars and Stripes" Maj. Darlington
said. ION the southern side we
fought for our ideals and what we
conceived to be right, but when IN
the providence of God, Gen. Lee sur
rendered to Gen. Grant we followed
Lees advice and renewed allegiance
to the old flag. And in the war with
Spain the sons of Confederate vete-
rams touched elbows with the sons
of Union veterans, and together they
battled for humanity under old
Glory Washington Star.

Wanted-A Leap Year Girl.

I've read about the leap year girl
Since first inclined to loves young
dream;
We often meet in fiction's realm,
Where like queen, she reigns SUI
preme.
But, though I've hunted far and vide,
In life she never greets my scan;
know I'd love a girl like that,
For I'm a very bashful man.
Please, Mr.. Editor be kind
And print this hating verse OF
mine; M
Some leap year girl might read 1t
then #s
And write to me q tender line.
I want to hear from some-such girl.
But sometimes fear never can.
Yes. | could love girl like that,
Though I'm a very bashful man

Washington Was Mason and Episco-
palian.

Washington was a very enthusi-
astic Mason, and was identified with
the lodge in Alexandria, Va, which
was chartered in 1888 under the
Pennsylvania jurisdiction, but In
1888 it was rechartered as the Alex
andria- ashington lodge, No. ~.
and Washington was named as wor-
shipful master in the charter.
Christ church, Alexandria, Va, ivy
and moss covered, was completed and
delivered over to the vestry on Feb
rfuary 81, 1878, the construction
having been begun January l, 1857.
Col. Washington was one of the first
vestrymen of the church, and on the
day that it was turned over by the
builders he purchased pew No. for
the sum of G36 10 shillings, agreeing
also to pay an annual rental of IS
| for the same.
The square pew, with open door,
on the right of the pulpit and under
| the balcony, is pew No. 5, which was
occupied by Col. Washington when
attending services there until the
date of his death; he never changed
his membership from the church. A
silver plate, bearing his autograph,
is on the top of the pew door Orig
inally all the pews in the church were
built in a square form, but later, with
the exception of the Washington
pew, were changed to the present.

prepared to teach children and

wishing to have their children learn
to play at all shall put them under
the training of one who understands
his work and will get good results.

Senator Hepburn Of Idaho.

SENATOR f1eyUuFH VI IuahO.
Your organization has done most
effective and valuable work in the.
interest of the cardinal principles OF
the Republican party: Protection to
American interests. / would especial
ly call your attention to the the fact
that many who write and speak for
you deal only with Protection to
American manufacturers and gener-
ally limit their reference to this
phase of protection. Some correspon-
dence which have heretofore had in
regard to the subject has developed
the fact that many of the strongest
advocates of the protective tarif
policy in the manufacturing states
either directly or tacitly favor free
trade in raw materials. The people,
and especially the Republicans in the
states producing raw materials, are
becoming alarmed at this tendency,
and | desire to say at this time that
If you want the full and united
strength of the Republican party be-
hind your endeavor on behalf of the
protective tariff policy it will be
necessary for you to make definite
and candid declaration in favor of
equal protection to raw materials.
In the state of Idaho we produce
a, very large and important portion of
the raw materials along certain lines
in the United States. We produce
more than one-half of the lead pro-
duced in the United States; we pro-
duce between 25,000,00O and 3d.
900 900 pounds of wool; we produce
lumber in large and increasing
quantity; we have 100000 sheep
and vast herds of cattle and other
live stock; we produce about H.
OOO, 900 bushels of grain and very
large quantity of fruit and vegetables
all of which may be classed as raw
material, and in the production of
which there is sharp competition,
either with our immediate neighbors
on the north or south, or with foreign
countries. Idaho is Republican be-
cause of the protective tariff policy
of the party. A reduction of duties
or reciprocity affecting the duties on
any of the raw materials above men
toned would be severe blow to the
prosperity of our state, and the Re-
publicans of the state will not quietly
submit to it. What | have said in
regard to Idaho and the interests of
that state applies equally to many
other states in the Union, especially
! western states. The Republican
party in the past has been true to the
producers OF raw material, and 1t
must continue to be so. We cannot
submit to free-trade In raw materials,
or in anything approaching it, or a
revision of duties that would lessen
the advantages which such producers
have in the markets. Sincerely yours
w. B. Hepburn in American Econ
omist.

GEORGE ON THANKSGIVING

Thanksgivin' day comes once year because the
Pilgrim band
Was thankful that they had the to leave
their native land
And come across the sea to find stern and rock
bound shore
Where they would never haft to bow to bosses
emmy more,
Where thieves would not break in and steal and
trusts would never try
To gobb|e everything and let the little dealer die.
We celebrate Thankssvn' day because the Pill
grms came
In search of freedom where they knew that they
would find the same,
Where men would be as brothers, where the
strong would aid the weak,
Where libburty would raise her flag on every
crag and peak,
Where biIIionaires would dare to cheat
for profits sake
Or break the laws that other men were not al
lowed to break
We celebrate because the hopes hoped by that
Pilgrim band
Have all come true, because there's not an evil
in land,
Because we have no wealthy rogues to plan and
plot and scheme
To make the Iibburty claim vain and empty
dream,
Because our masnates 60 to church and teach
And everywhere from sea to sea the Christian
spirit rules
We keep Thanksgvin' day because the man who
does his best
To be an honest citizen is honored by the rest;
He may not have share of stock or own a foot
of land,
But all our wealthy senators are glad to shake
his hand
And hear his plea and guard his rights with al!
the jeIIus care
They ever give the interests of any millionaire.
We keep the good old day because no idle rich
ignore
The pressing needs of those where Want is
scratching at the door,
Because have such freedom as the Parin1s
wished to claim,
Because we never are oppressed and never
spotched with shame,
Because we've frightened Greed away and raised
our standard high
And kept the faith for which our sires were no.
afraid to die.

SERNlCEABLE DEHORNING BOX.
It Will Make the Task a Comparative
iy Easy One.

In spite of the advantages of polled
cattle, many breeds having horns con-
tinue to be raised. When the precau-
ton is not taken to stop the growth
of horn or remove it while the animal
is yet calf, much more severe and
difficult operation remains to be per-
formed. The securing of the animal
for the dehorning is accomplished by
methods ranging from the awkward
and often injurious practice of throw
ing and tying, to that where a most
deliberately constructed chute is used.
For the man who is looking for con-
venient and simple chute for his own
use, one constructed in the following
manner will serve his purpose very
satisfactorily.
The chute is six feet long, six feet
nigh and three feet wide. The dimen-
sions should correspond as nearly as
possible to the average sized ANIMAL
because the less freedom of move
