Some Of the MastsrfuI Achievements
Of Americans.
Americans founded the first govern.
ment under which all men were equal
before the law. Since the Declaration
Of Independence was published to the
world the democratic idea has hourly
received new impulse until now its
march seems irresistible
Americans were the first to demon
strate the feasibility of relying on q
citizen soldiery to defend the land aud
its institutions against foreign and
domestic attack.
Americans were the first to abolish
titular distinctions and to deprive so
cial eminence Of any support save
character or the consensus Of those
who choose to consider themselves as
socially elect.
1t was an American who invented
the stea mship. An American invent

She had written the valentine that

They were right in guessing that
Zouri had gone to find her father. She
knew that he was somewhere In the

out in loud call, Poppy, where are

At last from distance she heard

1t was the 18th of February. The
sun had come out and made things
look very bright and happy. and in the
southern country Its light was SO
warm aud pleasant that three little
girls had come out among the grass
and trees To write their valentines.
These girls We're Seth Cranberry s
three little states, as they We're called.
The two Cranberry brothers, Seth
and Josiah, were farmers, and their
large farms joined The brothers were
twins.
They were married on the same day.
There had been sort of agreement
between them that whenever baby
girl came to the household of either
she should be given the name Of q
state in the Union.
SO 1t came about that when some
years had gone by there were six little
states. three i'll each family. The boys
did not count in this union, for it
would not do to call boy Texas or
Mississippi.
Then came the time when Seth and
Josiah ceased to be twins in spirit, for
they had a serious quarrel about the
planting OF a division stake aud the
ownership of three or four feet OF
land. Seth, the more self willed Of the
two, had planted the stake where he
pleased. aud Joe had submitted. but
from that day the brothers had lfot
spoken to each other, aud the six little
states. who loved each other, had been
separated.
Seth's Zouri, whose real name was
Missouri, had just declared that she
would send valentine to Uncle Joe.
Il met him down at the branch the
other day. she said. "and he talked
to me real nice. l felt sorry for him.
because he said that Tennessee could
never go without crutches any more"
LOus'any and Georgia said they were
quite sure that Zouri would be whip
ped if she did not keep away fgoln
Uncle Joe's folks and stop sending
valentines there. But ZOuri was the
youngest of the three and not old
enough to be very cautious. Besides
she had little curly red head and hel

She went Oh painfully writing the
words of her valentine:

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE DIES.

Florence Nightingale of London who
has been famous throughout the world
for half a century, has just passed to
her reward in her ninety-first year
When the Crimean war began she had
just completed course of training as a
nurse with the Protestant Sisters of
Mercy at Kaiserwerth in Germany.
The sufferings of war are always greater
from sickness than from wounds received
in battle; and because of the
wet and cold climate of the Crimean
peninsula the English army was in a
pitiable plight. AT this juncture Miss
Nightingale appealed to the women of
England to volunteer as nurses in the
hospitals and by her ability as an organi-
ger she began work that made her
famous throughout the world.
She had her reward in the gift of a
fortune from the English people, which
she devoted to the endowment of a
school for nurses; in the love and honor
that followed her throughout her long
life; and in the renown that enshrines
her name upon history's pages"
