remember and those strenuous years
Of almost ceaseless fighting. of long
night marches, of swift. merciless
raiding, of lonely scouting within the
enemy's lines, of severe wounds,
hardship and suffering, had left their
marks on both body and soul His
father had fallen on the field at Antie-

world. but he had fought on grimly

Confederacy had been furled. BY that

HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER
cIergyman's Rebuke to Thoughtless
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcerting.

A well-known clergyman was one
day, in a barber's shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair. with
lather all over his face. They pro-
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved,
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber called
several times-"Next gentleman! Next
gentleman!"
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:
ut isn't bit of use, John. There's
not a man here who has the effront
cry to answer to that name"
