HIS LoNG-DELAYED PROPOSAL,
French Story of Note in Bouquet That
Was for Years Unanswered. ESQ.,.

One OF the, longest delayed proposals
on record is related in a French story
OF shy young subaltern who was or
dcred away to the wars. Not daring
70 speak, he sent nosegay Of yellow
Fc2es to the girl he loved, with a little
note inside begging her, If she re-
turned his love, to wear one of the
flowers In her breast that night at the
ball. She appeared without It, and he
went away broken-hearted. -.
Years afterward, when he was O
lame old general, he again met his
old love, now white-haired widow.
One day his old sweetheart gently
asked him why he had never married.
Madam" he answered somewhat
sternly, you ought to know best. II
you had not refused to answer that
note IN the bouquet Of yellow roses I
might have been happier man. '"The
note In the bouquetH' she repeated,
growing pale.
She opened an old cabinet and took
out from a drawer a shriveled bouquet
OF what had been yellow roses. among
whose leafless stalks lurked scrap of
paper yellow with age. "See! 1 never
had your note" she said, holding the
bouquet up. IF 1 had I would not have
answered 1t as you ;faneiedR - Then
answer II now suif theoga:lart old
soldier. And the long delayed pro-
posal was accepted at last.

That "BIue" Feelino.

The use of the word blue" to de.
note melancholy or terror, as in the
phrases to feel blue" blue devils" q
blue funk and SO on, is not entirely
fgurative. If we are to credit a re-
cent medical writer. The class of
phenomena'th that includes falnting, ver-
tigo, nausea, etc, is controlled by Ger.
tain brain centers that also bring
about sort of cramp OF the external
muscles of the eye. The resulting
compression Of the organ causes OBJ.
jects to look gray or BLUSH, and ulti.
mately produces apparent darkness.
The use of the word, having a physio.
logical basis, is common to many Ian.
guages. The French say, for instance:
II see blue" A writer says that the
French word reimbursement (giddi.
ness) should be spelled advertisement.
and has the same origin. yaasr'

THE GETTYSBURG SPEECH

-Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this con-
inent a new nation, conceived in lib
erty. and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created free and
equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or
any nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated. can long endure. we are met
on a great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate a portion of
that field as a final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t is altogeth-
er fitting and proper that We should
do this.
But in a larger sense, we cannot
dedicate-we cannot consecrate, we
cannot hallow this ground. The brave
men, living and dead who struggled
here have consecrated it far above
our power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long re-
member, what we say here, but it
can never forget what they did here.
Ii is for us the living, rather, to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
far so nObly advanced. 1t is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us-that
from these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to that cause fol
which they gave the last full meas
ure of devotion-that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vain-that this nation, under
God. shall have a new birth of free
dom-and that government of the
people, by the people, and for the PEG
pie. shall not perish from the EARTH

They were to sail on ship north the

So we decided to take them to Wash

pie we knew and didn't know. We
then swung bacS and rounded the

We ran into the Bay of Biscayne for
days visit to Miami on the way
north. The Miami Metropolis failed to
report us, and we were glad. on
Palm Beach we swung far out lest
the Palm Beach News catch us. Off
Mayport we swung still further away
from the Times Unions staff Of re-
porters. and all along the route we
avoided the shore line, for fear of
newspaper fiends. We stopped over
one day en- route at Norfolk, Va, but
we are quite sure that the papers
there did not catch us. Next day we
reached Washington, and have been
having a grand time, sightseeing and
keeping out of the way of the news

Some might say how about our
United States senators, congressman
or present and past governors? Our
reply is that any man who has been
honored with either of these three
nigh offices has been far more hon
ored than he will ever be able to hon
or the state. We, know of but four
men, living, who have honored their
respective countries more than their
country has honored them, and they

We Americans are prone to meas
ure greatness by the dollar mark. 1t
is sad error that will lead the future
generation into corruption. A mans
greatness should be measured by the
amount of good he accomplishes for
this and future generations, and we
should learn to honor and reward our
developers in proportion to their &C
comDlishments, regardless of their
wealth or their poverty. The boy
who starts out with the ambition to
DO SOMETHING, rather than ACCU-
MULATE SOMETHING, is to be
highly commended during these DAYS
of dollars and graft.-White Springs
