and Friends in Evidence.

At the Department Encampment OF
the Grand Army of the Republic and
Convention of the Woman's Relief
Corps last week Dr. Henry 4. Johnson
was elected Department Commander
and Mrs Nora Il. Atkinson Department
President. There was no opposition 10

Past President of George II. Thomas
Corps. of this city. and Mrs. Marion
Lewis. Past President of Lincoln Corps,
who was born in this city. Mrs. Atkin-
son was the winner by 2S votes in one
of the most exciting elections ever held
in the Department.
The Department of Potomac can
have what no other Department in eth
er organization can have, and that is
a swell joint installation. Installa-
ton never takes place until week or
more after elections, and it is made a
great social and patriotic feature.
Grand Army Hall was magnificently
decorated with flags and bunting for
the occasion, and wagonloads OF HOW
ers were presented to the incoming Off
GERS and aJgreat many of the retiring
officers. so that the platform looked
like the reception room of a debutante
by the time the exercises were con-
cluded.
Department of Potomac was also
very greatly honored in its guests. We
had with us Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sher-
wood, wife of Representative Sher-
wood, of Ohio, who was the second Ma
tional President of the organization.
She came to the installation to espe-
ciaIly honor an Ohio woman, and was
very complimentary in the remarks that
she made afterwards concerning the
| tremendous work that is done in this
| Department by the veterans and by
their AuXiliaries. The other guests OF
honor we're Mrs. Carrie Sparklip Reed,
of Missouri, Past National President,
who is also much loved by the Relief
Corps of the Department; Mrs. Eunice

RECENT LITERATURE.
ROBERT BURNS. BY Col. John A.

ROBERT BURNS. By Col: John A.
Joyce. Published by the Author
at Washington, ID. c.
Col Joyce occupies a most fiattering
position among the writers of the coun-
try, for whatever comes from his pen
is certain to be marked with his own
strong individuality and to say things
that are eminehtly worth reading. HIS
life of Robert Burns is as far as possi-
BILE from the dry -as-dust biographies
which are too commonly served the
public. 1t is a work of love for Col.
Joyce, and he has thrown his ardent
nature into it. He believes that Robert
Burns belonged to the whole world /;
that his nature was as boundiess ana
brilliant as the stars, and the sorrow
and disappointment that filled his earth
ly career finds "A forgivipg sympathy In
the hearts of mankind" Entering upon
the work in this spirit, Col Joyce has
given us a life of Burns which is real
addition to our literature, and VIII be
read by everyone with kindling ap-
probation OF one of the greatest OF
; ;humanity's poets. The book is hand
somely gotten up, with pictures o.
Burns and Joyce, and the mechanical
makeup reflects great credit upon the
publishers, the Regan Printing anG
Publishing House, Chicago, Ill.

The old gentleman wasN rough dia-
mond clear thru; undisciplined. but
courageous, firm and talker from
avay back. He was over six feet in
hight and was perfectly proportioned.
When he first came to Washington as a
United states Senator he nearly gave
the natives heart failure. as he strobe
nm Pennsvlvania avenue with bright
scarlet Mexican blanket thrown over his
shoulder He was born in Virginia in
17e3. His father died when he was
only 13 years old, and he was practical
ly self-educated; but 1t was an educa-
tion that stuck His principal books
and studies were Shakspere and the BIZ
bIe which he unfailingly used in his
sneeches When he commanded the
Texas army, which covered a greater
area than the 12 original States, he
studied Cesar's Commentaries. He
served i'm the War of 1872, became a
Iawyer. was twice Governor of Tennes-
see was at the head of the Texas army
at San Jacinto, was the hberator OF
TEXAS. was twice elected its President,
was n United states senator ana It's
first Governor.
When Texas seeded from the Union
in 1851 all the state officers were re-
ouircd to take the oath OF :iiifTIaiice to
the Confederate States. This Houston
refused TO do, and on March Is was de-
posed as Governor. On May 10, 1861.
he made a speech at independence,
TEX, in which he defined the position
of the Southern Unionists. He said:
THE voice of hope was weak. since

Whether we have opposed this seces-

public life after this.

private life. He died in Texas, and over
his remains in the little graveyard at
Huntsville is marble slab, which bears
the simple inscription: Gen. Sam Hous-

The Washington Monument.

IT is remembered at this time that
the Washington Monument was dedi-
Gated on Feb. 81, 1885. The dedicatoi
EXERCISES we're held on Saturday, IS
Washington's Birthday fell that year
on Sunday. The plan of monument
to washington was provided by Con
gress away back in 1893, shortly after
the death of Washington, but 1t was
. remarkable fact that nothing was
Jona in the matter until 1S43, when an
association of prominent persons uh-
dertook the raising of the needed
funds by subscription, on July 4, 1919
this association had succeeded in thelr
undertaking so far that they were apie
to lay the cornerstone OF the hhoHu
ment and during the succeeding elght
wears the monument went up TO a
hight of 156 feet In 1856 the funds
were short and the rumble OF an APP
| preaching war was in the air, SO noth-
| ing more was done In fact, not
| thing was~ touched about the monu-
ment until 1876, when Congress uh-
dertook its completion.
The shaft of the Washington Monu-
ment is 555 feet high. and the entlre
hight of the monument, including the
| foundation, is 592 feet. The stones ol
which the monument is constructed
are great blocks of crystal marble from
Maryland, of which there are more
than 1900. One hundred and eight
one memorial stones" have, from hrs'
to last, been contributed for use in the
monument 1t cost about s1,5OO,Ooo
which was raised partly by a Congress
sional appropriation and partially by
private subscription. 1t is 30 feet high
er than any other work of man excep
the lofty Eiffel Tower, erected in Part
for the great Exposition of 1889.

Why Do We Go to Church?

Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliff, of WASH
ington. had a crouch on last Sunday,
and in his sermon on "A Royal Fail
ure" said:
THE divine purpose of the church IS
to be a meeting place with God. But it
is made lecture room, house of en-
tertanment, a social club, and often
mere millinery show place. Men make
it a real-estate proposition, women
fashionable display, and children
PLAYHOUSE 1t would be impressive
could some one disclose why some peo-
ple really build churches and others at
tend them"
All of that may or may not be true.
If there are people who can be got into
a church by lecture with moral in
it. but who would Shy clear of real
sermon, has not the house of God ac-
lcomplished a portion of its work by
sheltering that class of men at lee
| ture? If there are people who can De
| Iured inside of a church by entertain-
ment in q social club, and if there are
womcn who will only go to church oc-
lcasionaIlv to show their fine feathers,
after all. is it not something accom-
plished simply to get them under q
| roof that has been dedicated TO h1gh
purposes? And as for its being a play
house for children, some OF the very
sweetest memories that some OF us nave
lare connected with tnoSe long, sunny
days in Summer when, behind the high
hack of the pew in front we could play
with flowers make card houses of the
sunday school cards, or, sitting on a
little footstool. play hide-and-seek with
mothers Knees. As we grew older we
learned a little more dignity, and when
yet older joined the Sunday school class
and often laughed with our teacher
about the very naughty pranks we had
nIaved in those childish days. After
ALI is not the house of God built to lure
men and women there in honest guise
of one kind or another, and then te
try to do something to make them pet,
ter? It's the old story of half a loa'
which is better than none at all. Dr
Radcliff was evidently suffering IRON,
smell of indigestion In the light of hi:
utterances the last sentence is really
quite apropos--if DIR. Radcliffe Is ths
lDreacher.
