a lot of money as a contractor and

The sons and daughters were much
ashamed of the pleban father, and
Casey was always kept in the rear o.
the house when they had a party or
reception. One day Casey died and
there was a great to-do about it. The
children had fine coffin, with lash

PICTURE IN THE PUB
Lie SCHOOLS.

Members of the Virginia end North
Carolina divisions of tho Grand Army
of the Republic should not be greatly
surprised II the people OF these TWO
states fail to wax enthusiastic over
the proposal to place pictures of Lin
coin in their public schools. Probably
there will be no great cutlery, but the
veterans should understand while the
movement is in its first stages that
virginians and North Carolinians in
general are net gcing to be particu-
iarly Joyous in their reception of the
idea.
Few Virginians or Carolinians are
so narrow minded and bigoted that
they cannot recognize Lincolns great
ness. Probably there are few who
would not be glad to participate In
any national movement to honor his
memory, and a movement toward
erecting a suitable monument at
Washington would be supported in
the South and throughout the nation.
But for the life OF us We cannot see
why Lincoln's picture should be put
in the Virginia and North Carolina
schools. Ii would be pushing anti
sectionalism beyond the point of sin
certify. To say the least, the people
do not want the pictur s; then what
is the use of putting them in the posi-
ton of having to take something they
do not want the pictures; then what
because of a desire to avoid anything
tending to stir up sectional strife.
It. would seem that the officers OF
the Grand Army Of the Republic might
have waited until the pictures were
asked for. or at least have made an
effort to ascertain the real feelings
Of the people on the subject. An IN
welcome gift makes. embarrassment
