Hat Protector for Emerpeneis,
From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

From the Cleveland Platn-Dealer.
Here's a little advice that II COM
monty adopted would save hundreds
and even thousands of dollars to the
husbands of this country. 1t Is simply
q round piece OF waterproof silk, the
edge Of which is hemmed to form a
pocket for a gathering string. It is
so made that 1t could be slipped yer
almost n hat and would In case of
sudden shower protect 1T from the
ruinous dampness. The protector was
devised by a Pennsylvania man who
has evidently known the exquisite pain
Of having his wife caught In the rain
on the very day he had sent q check
big enough to support a home mis-
sionary for half q year to pay for the
new spring bonnet she was wearing.
Such experiences are not pleasant. so
thought this ingenious man. II every
woman would just make one OF these
adjustable protectors and carry it in
her handbag whenever she went out,
think OF the money that would be
saved to The husbands OF the land.
The drawstring underneath will enable
the cover to be drawn up to At almost

1t Pays to Think About Food.
The unthinking life some people
lead often aus trouble and sickness,
illustrated in the experience of a lady
in Fond du Lac, Wis.
About four years ago I suffered
dreadfully from Indigestion, always
having eaten whatever I liked, not
thinking Of the digestible qualities,
This Indigestion caused palpitation OF
the heart so badly l could not walk up
a fight Of stairs without sitting down
once or twice to regain breath and
strength.
Il became alarmed and tried diet
ing, wore my clothes very loose, and
many other remedies, but found no re-
lief.
Hearing OF the virtues Of Grape
Nuts and Postum, l commenced using
them in place OF my usual breakfast of
coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in one
weeks time I was relieved Of our
stomach and other ills attending indi-
g%estion. In a months time my heart
was performing it's functions naturally
and / could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances.
Il gained ten pounds in this short
time, and my skin became clear and I
completely regained my health and
strength. Icontinue to use Grape-Nuts
and Postum for l feel that I owe my
good health entirely to their use.
There's a Reason
Il like the delicious favor of Grape
Nuts and by making Postum according
to directions, it tastes similar to mild
high grade coffee"

Let me tell o a story: Bill is q

father. l told him hat i wouldn't
have him loafing around, and I sent
him down or the farm and put him
to work there. and Bill is getting
along. He played a good joke on me,
and I've made up my mind that he'll
do for the railroad business.
He says to me the other day,

I says.
Seven or eight loads says he.
How much'n you pay a load?' says
"a dollar a load says he.
"tAll right I says to him. Come over
to the cal stables and get all you need
at that figure,
What do you suppose the cuss done
to me? He com over and got eight

Bravery That is Unrequited.

Before our retrospective vision
picture after picture appears to
complete the panorama. We are
.cognizant Of the hustle of PREPARATION:
the hasty grouping Of individuals into
tentative organizations; we now hear the
drum and bugle; excitement and confu-
sion are welcomed TO assuage grief: but
the hour of parting is Inevitable and comes
all too soon. How many veterans recall
that saddest moment in life when, with
choking threats, they tried in vain to saw
good-by, and, turning, took a last look a.
the weeping wives and daughters, and the
d~ry-eyed, bravely smiling mothers striy-
ing with all the courage of a reticent race
to fill the hearts of their departing loved
ones with Strength and hope and conceal
the bleeding of their own. What knew
these men, or what can any men know, OF
heroisIn? Deeds are but natural conse-
quences of circumstances, environment.
necessity. Suffering springs from helpless
waiting. All that the great armies of men
did in that awful war would weigh but as
a feather in the balance against the
anguish Of those left behind to hope and
fear and constant dread. Could the graves
Of all who gave their lives or happiness to
their nation be decorated this day, how
many more would be those of Americas
noble women! But. no, The wife's sacri-
fee is too great to find requittaI; the
mothers love is sacred to her own. The
freshest of flowers b~etokening our most
grateful recognition would wither and die
beneath the smiles of heaven bestowed as
rays of sunshine upon those tender mem
cries.
All honor. then. to the veterans of the
great wal who still live; and TO those who
have died, peace everlasting.

THE FATHER OF
MEMORIAL DAY

The first official observance OF May
50 as a day for the decoration OF tho
graves Of union dead followed q proc
lamation issued from h headquarters
of the Grand Army OF the Republic on
May S. 1868, by General John A. Logan,
commander in chief. This order read:
The 30th Of May, 1868, is designated
Tor the purpose of strewing with flow
ers or otherwise decorating the graves
Of comrades who died in defense OF
their country during the late rebellion
and whose bodies now lie in almost
every city, village, hamlet and church,
yard in the land. In observation
no:form or ceremony is prescribed, but
posts and comrades will in their own
way arrange such fitting services and
testimonials Of respect as circum-
stances may permit.
we are organized, comrades, as u
regulations tell US. for the purpose.
amor other things. of preserving and
strengthening those kind and fraternal
feelings which nave bound together
soldiers, sailors and marines who unit
ed together to suppress the late re-
bellion.'
What can aid more to assure this
result than by cherishing tenderly the
memory OF our heroic dead, who made
their breasts a barricade between our
country and Its foes? Their soldier
lives were the reveille Of freedom to a
race in chains and their deaths the tat
100 OF rebell1ouSs tyranny In arms. We
should guard their grave with sacred
vigilance. All that the consecrated
wealth and taste Of the nation can add
to their adornment and security Is but
a fitting tribute to the memor of her
slain defenders. Let no wanton foot
tread rudely in such hallowed grounds.
Let pleasant paths invite the coming
and going Of reverent visitors and fond
mOurners.
Let no vandalism OF avarice or
neglect, no ravages of time. testify to
the present or to the coming genera
pie the cost of a free and undivided re-
public.
IF other eyes grow dull and other
hands slack and other hearts grow
cold in the solemn trust, ours shall
keep it well as long as the light and
warmth OF life remain to us.
Let us, then, at the time appointed
gather around the sacred remains and
garland the p~assionless mounds above
them with the choicest flowers of
springtime. Let us raise above them
the dear old flag they saved from dis
honor. Let us in this solemn presence
renew our pledges to aid and assist
those whom they have left among US,
a sacred charge upon g nations graft
tude, the soldiers and sailors widow

1T is the purpos of the comman-
der in chief to inaugurate this observ-
ance with the hope that 1t will be kept
up from year to veal while a survivor
of the war remains to honor the menu

The First Lifeboat.
From the Windsor Magazine

From the WINDSOR Magazine.
Some may be, surprised to learn that
the first lifeboat, especially Of the style
of those adopted at the present time,
is still in existence at Redcar, in
Yorkshire. This boat was placed at
Redcar in the year 1902 to be used as
a boat for saving life in storms or
other dangers to ships coming into or
near the mouth of the Tees. 1t was
built by a shipwright Of the neigh
his own invention, and parliament con-
sidered his work so meritorious and
advantageous that it voted him a sum
of a1,200 as a reward for his time,
trouble and ingenuity. This fin old
boat did excellent service for over 70
years. and then, owing to the intro
duction of newer types and better
boats, 1T was placed upon the retired
list" and transferred to the shed where

Sheridan was doing man. things which
looked Like attempts to provoke a conflict
with the French on the other side OF the

plain we didn't intend to tolerate the es-
adjustment Of empires on this continent.
Finally one day there seemed some prom.
Use of a conflict between the Mexican and
imperial forces. The Mexicans first hove
in sight. They threw up breastworks. It
wasn't long thereafter that the imperial
army came up. I went to our division
commander one morning and urged him
to go OUT with me and see the fighting.
He didn't take much stock in my asser-
ton about a battle. The Mexicans began
firing with great bluster, and the Inn
perial army returned the fire with the
same show Of energetic action. However,
neither side was attempting serious bust
ness, and no one was hurt. They were
firing in the air.
The next morning I again told the d.
vision commander he should come with
me and witness the battle, but he was
again Indifferent and insisted on going to
breakfast. Meanwhile out Of the Mexican
breastworks there leaped a large force Of
men,, who charged vigorously. The i'm
perial army Immediately started fight
and scampered away.
- Well, what's the meaning Of that?'

$500, 600 on q purely speculative basis; and
has, moreover, sold them. Whether the
