Judge White manages to control his flow of wit

Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes, of one of

the fun of his father in him, but sef-confessedly

to be impossible
Not long ago a lawyer went to the residence
Of one of the associate justices of the Supreme
court married man and who the lawyer
thought was the staidest of the staid. The Wis
itor had gone to the justice to get some ad-
vice on behalf of person who he know was
family friend of the one of whom he seeking
advisory help.
It seems that the mans wife had died. and
while the husband was kindly disposed and
most excellent man generally, his father-in-law
and mother-n-law insisted on taking the chill
dren who had been left motherless. The wild
over did not want to part with his children and
neither did he want to make fight which
would bring the children into public notice and
show that he had had a breach with his wifes
father and mother.
The lawyer who calling on the justice
said, What would you do II your father-n-law
and mother-in-aw your wifes death tried to
get your children away from your? The answer
came quick and sharp. I'D tell them to go to the
devil"
Now it happened that the Justices wife was
sitting at his elbow and the lawyer at this strong
expression from the judicial minded one looked
with trepidation at Mrs. Justice. expecting to
see her overcome with modification at her hus
bands outbreak. The visitor was relieved and
also somewhat surprised when Mrs. Justice said
I'D tell them to go to the devil too"
The household court being thus unanimous,
the lawyer went away and gave advice to his
client, and the presumption is that within day
or two the father-in-Iaw and mother-in-aw went
to the devil

ENMITY FORGOTTEN

Capt s. F. Horra tells pretty story OF an
incident during the battle of Perryville. KY. on
October g. 1852. Captain Horrall thus relates It:
THE Forty-second regiment by overpowering
numbers was compelled to surrender the ground
that had been fought over. back and forth. three
times. being held alternately by the Federals and
Confederates. thus mixing side by side the wound
ed and dead Of each army. AS men
retiring, Corporal Allen Gentry, of Company H,
was passing wounded Confederate. who asked
for water. Though at danger or risk OF capture.
Corporal Gentry divided his own scanty supply
with his enemy of half hour before. They
were no longer enemies. One of my own COM
rades lay dying near Confederate The
rade's thirst slaked. the canteen passed into the
hands OF young Confederate, who also lay dy-
ing-the CLASSY look of death In his eyes. He
drank the water, the last drop. then-as did the
federal soldier-laid his head to rest In the long
sleep. They drank from the same canteen.'"
Another story told by Captain Horrall brings
out bit of ever-welcome humor in army life. He

rial day in effect for purpose kindred to
that perpetuated by the Memorial day institution.
He journeyed to the scene of the decisive battle
of the war for the Union in order to dedicate the
first national cemetery. pioneer of scores of SINH
lar shrines. How closely linked the institu-
tions of Memorial day and the countrywide
Gordon of national cemeteries is not generally
appreciated Without the would not have
had the other and indeed it was from the national
cemetery idea that there was evolved its COM
panon thought-Decoration day.
1t was in 1868 that President Lincoln formally
opened the first national cemetery and the fol-
lowing year-on this occasion the May 80 date
that has since been observed-he informally
opened the second of the national cemeteries,
that at Arlington on the Potomac, which has
since attained to first rank among all the national
burying grounds in point of size and in number
of graves. 1t is at Arlington. it may be men,
toned incidentally, that the president of the
United States usually delivers his Memorial day
address, but there have been numerous excep-
tions to the CUSTOM along the lines of President
Taft's chosen plan for his first presidential recog
milton of Memorial day.
There nothing prearranged about that
first observance Of Memorial day In our second
Oldest national cemetery. President Lincoln ON
that eventful May 80. 1864, merely following
his usual custom of devoting the late afternoon
to drive from hospital to hospital in and near
the capital in order to carry words of cheer to
the sick and wounded soldiers. He was accom-
panied by Gen. Montgomery G. Megs, who was
at that time quartermaster general of the army.
It was late in the afternoon when they reached
the old Robert L. Lee mansion ut Arlington, the
last of the 'mproyised hospitals which they had
planned to visit that day. Upon their arrival at
Arlington the presidential party found prepara.
tions in progress for the burial In a distant and
already overcrowded cemetery Of twelve Union
and Confederate soldiers who had answered their
last roll call at the hospital.
The matter of instituting second great
tional cemetery was then and there hurriedy
given consideration and General Meigs with the
sanction of the president issued the order that
the dead awaiting burial should be inferred in
Arlington. He designated a spot near the his
toric mansion for these first graves and just at
sundown simple services were held as the bodies
were lowered into the graves Since that first
informal memorial day the population of Amer

more than 10000 and an average OF 300, almost

erection at Arlington Of great memorial amphi-
theater-repacing the present artistic but rather
unpretentious amphitheater and rostrum-and
when this Is done the edifice, seating 5000
persons, will provide setting for the annual
Memorial day services that will give signif-
cance to the commemorative exercises.
Andrew c. Curtin, the governor of Penn
sylvania, has often been given credit for origna-
ting the idea of the national cemeteries out of
which in turn came the proposal for annual
memorial day. However, the claim In behalf of
the executive of the Keystone state is disputed
and much evidence has been presented from time
to time In support of the contention that the
honor in reality belongs to Thomas Brougham

Quoted the first funeral in this first national ceme-
terry and was in personal charge OF all the cemete

From this modest beginning the national cemetery
idea spread until there are now SO national ceme-
teries, with total burias of more than S5OOOO SOL
diers, of which number 100000 are unknown.
Gen. John A. Logan is usually given credit for
having suggested the observance of Memorial day
in its present form. Nowhere Is there more Inn
pressve celebration of each recurring memorial
day than in the national cemeteries-located in
80 states and territories and in Old Mexco-even
though some of them be situated in localities
remote from large towns or cities and none too
accessible. Particularly notable and interesting
are the ceremonies where the national cemeteries
located In the vicinity of state national SOL

who have preceded them to the last camp ground.

of the army, they saw a member OF
the Sixth Massachusetts volunteers
being buried by the roadside. Baker
suggested that there should be in
every large city of the country
cemetery owned and controlled by
the government for the burial of the
soldiers, and that the national gov
ernment should keep record of all
interments. Baker thought so well
of his suddenly conceived project
that he brought it to the attention
of Simon Cameron, then the secre-
tary of war. Cameron rejected the
plan, but Baker persisted in his eff
fort to enlist the interest of the
government and when Stanton sue
ceeded Cameron he approved the
suggestion and six acres of land in
the rear of the old Soldiers home in
Washington were set aside as a ma
tional cemetery.

IN MEMORIAM.

Three years ago-April oath, 1907
Mrs. Lucy Bascor died at her home
near Tombs, Lancaster county, after an
illness of some months. Mrs. Bascor
had lived to an advanced age and was
respected by not only those of her own
race, but by the white people with
whom she had mingled. She was con-
sistent member of Calvary Baptist
Church and was known for her piety
and fidelity to her church. To mourn
their loss are left behind devoted hus-
band, James Bascor; two sons, Ananias
and Henry Bascor; four daughters, Ger
trude, Lottie, Orah, Mary and Annie
Bascor, and a host of other relatives
and friends. Only those who have had
and lost devoted mother, wife and
companion know what our loss is.

To know her precious worth.

WHY FRANCE IS RICH.

Paris is the Mecca of foreigners.
They come from all parts of the world
to enjoy life in the great metropolis;
and the yearly income from this source
alone approximates $500, O0O, 900. Along
with this item the earnings of French
capitalists on their investments in the
securities and properties of other
countries amount to fully $3.50, 900, 600
yearly. On the other side of the ac-
count is an adverse balance of trade.
which in 1907 amounted to $120, 900. 600
yearly. Deduct this outgo from her
income of $3.50, 600. OOO and it leaves
France with $3.50, ,OOO, 900 to the good.
Instead of getting an income of $780,
600, 600 from foreign tourists, the Uni
ted States pays out at least $l5, ZOO, 900
for the expenses of American tourists
abroad. Again, instead of drawing
$3.50. 600, 600 yearly from foreign invest
ments this country pays out $500, 600, =
600 to foreign investors in our securi-
ties and properties. A third factor is
the army of aliens who flock here from
all parts of the world to hoard up
money, which they take back to their
own countries; this drain costs us
$500, 600, 600 more. Add 800, 900, O0O
more which We pay for ocean freights in
foreign vessels, and the yearly outgo is
S715. .OOO,0O Deduct our yearly in
