With the excep- ton of Senator Hepburn of Idaho and Congressman Scott of Kansas. we know of nobody in all the land who does not think with kindly sympathy of the old men who gathered at Mo- bile yesterday and the day before.
 These veterans in their gathering at Mobile found shelter under tents furnished by the government of the United States-the government they fought four years to dismember. After prayer. their proceedings were opened by singing the hymn which thrills every lover of the republic: My Country, 'Tis of Thee" There will not be many more such gather ings
 It is fifty years since the fierce presidential campaign of 1S6O-the campaign in which these men decided that they would withdraw from the Union in the event of Lincoln'e cleo tion. Looking back across that half century, they are of one mind in say ing they made a mistake. But in their minds that mistake is hallowed by the blood that was shed by their fallen comrades at Antietam, at Shi- loh. at Chickamauga, at South Moun- tain, at Franklin, at Atlanta, at Vicks- burg, at Manassas. at Nashville, at Petersburg, at Stone River. at Cold Harbor. at Five Forks. at Gettysburg, and on hundred other fields where, meeting the equally courageous men of the north. deep frowning. brow to brow" they, with the soldiers of the Union. wrought imperishably the glo- rious history of the American in arms.
 II is hundred years since the bat ties of Napoleon. And still the mere mention of Austerlitz. of Eylau. of Wagram and of Waterloo calls thrill Who can wonder, then. that the vet crans at Mobile were able to shake away their load of years and find their red blood coursing again at memory of their own experiences on all time.
 These men have won a right to sit with ease once more in the house of their fathers. They feel at home un- der the Stars and Stripes, which their sons followed to victory in the war with Spain. They can point to their long list of officers who. sitting in congress. have voted for every bill to pension the soldiers of the Union. It is to the honor of the rebel soldiers that they have cheerfully voted for pension laws which have given more than two billion dollars to the soldiers of the north. Opposition to pensions always came from northern men.
 Within a few months there will be another gathering of veterans of the great war-when the bent survivors oi the Grand Army of the Republic meet at Atlantic City in September. That meeting also will open with the of My Country. 'Tis of Thee"

Mark Twain, as an example of un-

Hartford woman who said one day In
the late spring: 4

you very hard up just now?'

the cupboard doors shut; an old iron
spider hung against the wall.
The window sill was only knee
high from the ground, and Elsie
climbed over It easily. She let down
the window behind her. The floor
gave back an empty sound beneath
her feet as she walked across it to
the kitchen. The kitchen, too, was
quite unchanged.
After the dining room came the
parlor, the room that in aunt Hopes
lifetime Elsie had always loved best
1t was a good sized room in the front
Of the house. She lifted a window
and turned the stats OF the closed
shutters. The yellow afternoon
light came In across the bare floor.
Innumerable notes danced in its

lures still hung. and the wall paper
showed fresh spaces upon its faded
surface where others had been.

comes the Traveller.

New YofS.-No such welcome was
ever before given an American citizen
as that which was accorded Theodore
Roosevelt when he returned to the
land of his birth on June IS. In ac-
cordance with his request, the greet
ing was wholly free from partisanship,
and indeed his injunction was scarcely
needed, for it seemed the entire ma
ton was eager to welcome home the
former president.
Since emerging from the African
Jungle the latter part Of March, Mr.
Roosevelt has been the guest of near
ly every European ruler and almost
unprecedented honors have been
heaped on him. The reception by
his fellow citizens was a fitting ell
max to his triumphal tour and must
have been the most satisfactory event
connected with it.

noon, which was frightened only by
a flare OF crimson leaves ON all the
naples and the ever.present tangles
Of aster and golden rod along the
bushy banks. Elsie turned her horse
in at a rickety picket gate and dis
mounted before the porch Of a tiny.
shabby, neglected house.
Tears came to Elsie's eyes. as she
thought of the dead woman who had
animated It with her kindly presence.
She felt that she would like to go in
end look about and try in Imagination
to refurnish the abandoned rooms and
to people them with the gentle figures
that had once frequented them.
The thin old horse, a freckled gray
from the livery stable in town, was
pulling at the reins in an effort to get
his nose to the grass. Elsie sought
for some place to make him secure
and remembered the little barn. II
the door was not nailed up she could
put him in there.

held only cobwebs and hay and dust
for a long time. A little had re-
mained in one corner. She carried
it to the horse, who received it as
eagerly as If It had been the freshest
OF fodder. Then she went to the
house.

about trying the shutters. At last she
found one partly of the hinges
blown off by a high wind, no doubt.
She swung it clear and put her hand
to the window underneath. To her
surprise, it raised as she pushed upon

voice saying in her ear:

In an enclosure in the center Of Bat

guests, including senators, represent

rounding this enclosure was another
reserved space which was occupied by
about $500 prominent men and mem
bers Of the big reception committee.
The cheering and music were al
most continuous as the colonel en-.
tered the park, but finally quiet was
restored and Mayor Gaynor stepped
forward and delivered a cordial ad-
dress of welcome on behalf of the ma
ton and the city. Mr., Roosevelt re-
sponded briefly but feelingly, and
short speeches were made by several
other prominent men. Much as he

At least part Of the honeymoon will
be spent at Sycamore Hill, the coun-

Oyster Bay, Long Island. Later in the
sumner the young couple will start
for San Francisco, where Mr.. Roose-
welt is to be in charge of the inter-
ests of the carpet manufacturing firm
with which he has been associated
for some time.
The love story of the young couple
has been a quick-moving romance.
Their engagement was announced only
last winter and the news was cabled
TO Colonel Roosevelt, resulting In the
speedy receipt Of his approval and
congratulations. The bride, who Is
the daughter Of Henry Addison Alex
iander of New York, is twenty-one
years old, Of a little more than me-

ctally beautiful complexion. She is

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., strongly re-

tied with being far less democratic
than certain other members of the
family. As a boy he rode horseback
and engaged in all the other outdoor
pursuits OF the Juvenile Roosevelt clan
