Instead of brisk march to queer, en-
phatic orders, they perched on bench
up against the great horse chestnut
tree.

awful to be thirsty
Eyes, if you can't get drink" said
quick witted Cherry.
And If soldiers get thirsty marching
at war l don't see why they wouldn't

for US, we ought to get up and do
something for them"
what could we do?" asked Cherry,
her eyes big this time.
I'VE might give them all the water
they can stuff when they go by here
day after tomorrow"
"Oh, so we might" Cherry exclaim-
ed. But l wish we could give them
lemonade instead; it's ever so much
nicer"
But 1t would take ton. my dear"
said Billy, who sometimes addressed
Cherry as he heard his father and his
mother address her.
Lets ask mamma about It,"
Back clamored the children to the
kitchen with their request. Mrs. Mer-
rift thought she saw chance to teach
a lesson In real patriotism and little
endurance.
"You can have a pail Of water and
several tumblers," she began, III you
will agree to stay all the morning-that
means from 8 o'clock until 12-and
hand glasses Of water to the veterans
as they pass by. They go past the
house on their march, and a halt Is
usually called at the corner close by.
! Remember, If you do this at all you
must do 1t thoroughly. Bridget will fill
the pail for you as often as necessary,
but a great many men will keep stop
ping for a drink. No soldier must be
denied"
The children promised readily to
meet the requirements, which they did
faithfully.
IT got good and tired" Billy told his
mother at the close of Memorial day,
"but told Cherry 1t didn't make any

a little girl of ten, she could
PLAY soldier just as well as Billy. who
was a boy and twelve.
"Oh, dear" exclaimed Billy, I'm SO

declared themselves thirsty enough to
drink rainwater.
Mrs. Merritt went on with the cook
les she was making as she said:
Our poor soldiers during the war
were often so parched with thirst that
they not only would almost have cried
for Joy to have clean rainwater, but
during some Of their long marches they
gladly lay down and scooped up the
muddy water from puddles in the mid
die of the road"

Yes, that is really true. Billy.

impossible in these quiet days"
"Oh, my goodness sakes alive" said
the soldier girl, who had just drunk
her fill. II don't know what l should
do If l couldn't get nice. clean water
when I'm thirsty"
Did the soldiers use to get hungry
when there wasn't anything to eat?"
asked Billy eagerly.
Mrs. Merritt had to smile. Billy's
appetite was subject for jokes all
through the family.
Soldiers have to learn to put up
with great deal when in camp or on
the march, Billy, boy. that they would
never think could be endured were
they at home. But. of course, grown
men can endure many things that

remember one thing-our soldiers had
to pass through a great deal that was
hard and extremely uncomfortable,
and they did it to make things firm
and easy for those who were to come

Gave Grant a Job.

George Bissell, retired business
man Of Topeka, once gave General U.
S. Grant a job at 50 week in his
harness shop at Rockford, Ill. Later
both worked in the Grant tannery at
Galena, and then Bissell and U. S.
Grant went to buying and shipping
hogs together.
Mr.. Bissell was conducting har-
ness shop in Rockford when Grant,
young man, asked for a job, He was
put to work and stayed only a short
time. He announced that he was go
ing to Galena and did so. BiSsel told
Grant to look around and if he found
an opportunity to let him know and
he would go to Galena also.
In a short time Bissell received
letter telling Of vacancy in the Grant
tannery at GaIena. Bissel sold his
shop and went to Galena and worked
for Orville Grant, a brother to the
future general, who was the manager
Of the tannery owned by Jesse Grant,
the father Of the two boys, Both Bis
sell and U. S. Grant received 50 a
week.
During the winter of 1859 Bisseu,
who had laid by a little money, began
buying hogs and shipping them to Gin
cinnati. After the first consignment
u. S. Grant expressed a desire to quit
the tannery and join Bissell in the
hog business. This was agreeable,
and they did very well financially that
winter and the following summer
Shortly after going to Galena a son
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. BisSell.
Grant, at his request, was permitted
to suggest a name for the boy, and he
offered his own, Ulysses Grant Bissell.
But the mother took hand and
changed the name to Edwin Ulysses
Bissell.
when Grant left Galena," said Mr..
Bissell, "he begged me to go with him.
He was colonel then.
"'George, If you will go with me
will give you the best place l can,' he
said, and | will see that we are al
ways together
"And would have gone if my wife
had not been at the point of death
with consumption. When Grant left
l said that he would make the best
officer in the army. He had the max
ing Of an otiicer-the ability to carry
out his plans. Many persons laughed
when | made the remark, along with
them the coloners brother, Oryille,
"He said that he could not see it
that way; that Ulysses had not sue
ceeded in business and he did not
think he would succeed in the army.
But it was not long before Grant was
heard from. AS time went on the pa
pers began to have more and more to
say about the work Of Grant. The
home papers were full Of it."-New

UP w ERE is n war story told by a
survivor of MagrudrrS com
~ mand in northern Virginia:
"Magrudcrs army was not
much more than 10000 strong. | reckon.
and it had to do some right sharp work
to stand Off three we'll fed, we'll equip
ped Federal armies, each of them nearly
twice as large. Well, one day Magru-
der was out accommodating with his
staff in the Shenandoah valley, and he
stumbled across a likely looking plan
tation.
"Ie sent his orderly off on the jump
to present his compliments to the mis-
tress of the mansion and tell her that
he and his officers were powerful hun
gry-would she be kind enough to
give them some dinner? OF course she
sent back word she'd do her best.
Along comes a yellow haired young
soldier right after that. and he tells her
the same thing. 1t seems he was on
his way to join his regiment and was
covered with dust and looking tired to
death.
"'My young friend I'm doing my
best to get up a good dinner for Cen
eral Magruder and his staff Get down
and come in, and If there is anything
left after they get through you shall
have it. said this hoSpitable lady
THE young chap was hardly out of
his teens, and it happened that he
came from one of the finest families in
Virginia. He diSmOunted and went
into the house. Just naturally he knew
how affairs were conducted in the old
plantation households, and when Ma
gruder and his staff arrived he did
some pretty tall scouting around the
dining room. AS soon as dinner was
announced he marched in at the head
of the procession and took a seat next
him pretty savage for a minute and
said:
"'Sir, do you know with whom you
are diningY
"The young man looked at him just
as sharp and answered back:
"'No, sir, l don't. Before joined
the army was mighty careful who |
ate meal of victuals with, but now
make no distinction whatever
THAT settled It, Magrudcr looked
nettled for a minute and then burst
out laughing. So did the others, and
the dinner went on with everybody in
high good humor."

A monument for the soldiers!
And what will ye build it Of?
Can ye build 1t Of marble brass or
bronze.
Outlasting the soldiers love?
Can ye glorify 1t with legends
AS grand as their blood hath writ
From the inmost shrine of this land OF
thine
To the outmost verge of 1t?
And the answer came: We would build 1t
Out Of our hopes made sure,
And out Of our purest prayers and tears.
And out of our faith secure;
We would build 1t out OF the great white
truths
Their death hath Sanctifed
And the sculptured forms OF the men in
arms
And their faces ere they died.
And what heroic figures
Can the sculptor carve in stone?
Can the marble breast be made to bleed
And the marble lips to moan?
Can the marble brow be fevered
And the marble eyes be graved
To look their last as the flag floats past
On the country they have saved?
And the answer came: The figures
Shall be all fair and brave
And as befitting, as pure and white
As the stars above their grave.
| The marble lips and breast and brow
Whereon the laurel lies
! Bequeath us right to guard the flight
| or the old flag in the skies.
| A monument for the soldiers
| Built OF peoples love
And blazoned and decked and panoplied
With the hearts she built 1t of!
And see that ye build 1t stately
In pillar and niche and gate
| And high in pose as the souls of those
II would commemorate.
