Memorial Day.

Memorial Day.
Honor the dead, the true and brave,
Who gave their lives for freedoms
sake
No call can now their slumbers wake.
And we who still are blest with life,
Who shared their toll through many
days
And stood beside them in the strife.
VIII e'er their daring courage praise
And we who lived in peace away
From battle clouds and carnage dread
VIII with the deepest reverence pay
All honor to the noble dead.
Twas not for power or self or ease,
Nor for monarch's pride and gain,
Nor for party's whim to please,
These soldiers suffered death and pain,
But for the highest, noblest cause,
The dearest to a patriotic race
Sweet freedom, justice equal laws
And in the world an honored place.
They severed all the dearest ties
That bind man to the loved at home
To march beneath far distant skies,
All fearless Of what woes might come.
There is no spot that we can claim
More sacred than a patriots mound,
While stories of his we'll earned fame
In meuorys grateful ear resound.
Raise up the flag they loved so well;
Let music sound which stirred their
heart
And bugle notes through valley swell
Ere from their resting place we part
But all our praises, rites and tears
Do fail to pay the debt we owe,
And monuments that honor rears
Not half their valued service show.
AS long as spring renews her bloom,
AS long as patriots sons may live,
AS long as man loves country, home,
All honor to these heroes give.
Perhaps their spirits from on high
Observe the tribute that we pay
And with a clear, celestial eye
Behold our solemn rites today.
Thank God, who blessed our holy cause
Thank him who gave to us these men,
And for our country's freedom laws
Thank God with loving hearts. Amen!
&C. L. Lochnan.

SENATE OF LILLlPUT.
The Way Dr.. johnson Outwitted the
House of Commons.

House of Commons.
Parliamentary bodies were long
great stronghold of resistance to the
press. Reporters were strictly barred
from them, and reports of their pro-
ceedings were sternly punished. It
was among the triumphs for the right
and for common sense which Franklin
achieved that he caused the chamber
Of the provincial assembly Of Pennsyl-
vania to be thrown open to publicity.
Nevertheless no reports were allowed
Of either the Continental congress or
the constitutional convention.
DR.. Johnson's violation Of the cher
ished privacy Of the British house of
commons is a classic story. He report
ed it's debates without entering its sa-
cred precincts, and in order to escape
the severe penalties of the law he re-
ported them without mentioning the
body or any of it's members by name.
Setting up an imaginary senate of
Lilliput" and giving fictitious names to
the leading members of parliament, he
edited for years the readers of the
journal which then boosted the liar
gest circulation in England.
Receiving a few scanty notes of what
was going on at Westminster, be elab
Grated them into a brilliant spread. He
was, indeed, the illustrious founder OF
| the immortal craft Of reWriters. His
discerning readers came to know moi
only that the senate of Lilliput was the
| house of commons, but that 'Blefscu'
stood for France and "Mildendo" fol-
London; that "sprugs" meant pounds
that "Nardac" was the Duke of New
castle, and so on What his notes lack
ed his imagination readily supplied.
| Never was the eloquence of parlia
ment more brilliant than in Johnson:
reports of the debates, in which, he ad
! mitted, he took care that the Whis
dogs got the worst of it, although Pit
himself must have felt notified whel
he read the wonderful outburst attrib
uted to him by Johnson on "the afro
cious crime of being a young man."
| is the best remembered Of all Pitt
speeches, and it was written by John
son Gin a garnet in Exeter street,

Antiquity of the Oath.

The oath is practically as old as his
tory AS far back as we can go we
find some form of appeal to the forces
that are stronger than man. The oath
calling God to witness Is of course
much later than that made in the name
Of the powers Of nature, fire, food and
tempest or the ferocity Of wild beasts
or the terror Of the pestilence. The
gesture of the raised hand and the for
mula, $50 help me Cod" are Of Jewish
Christian origin, although the ancient
nations swore in the name Of their
gods.

One bitter night in winter the veteran

WOMEN IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Wall Street Brokers Have Private
Rooms for Fair Patrons.

The number of women spectators
is amazingly large-much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but it is a fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rooms for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-.
frances. There are several reasons
for this. One Is that many women
who speculate do SO secretly, without
the knowledge Of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this &C.
count they desire privacy, desire to
move and have their Wall street be.

statement that women are poorer los.

conservative brokers that a woman

than man-much more; that is, in
