fade a Great Hit,

A we'll known ventriloquist was in
vited to give a performance at a big
institution in connection with some
charity, and he heard that steps were
being taken to insure for him a large
yet critical audience, who would be
close enough to watch his every move
ment. The night came, the attendants
carried on three clay" figures on
chairs, and the ventriloquist received
a great ovation from those assembled.
His performance was unusually bril-.
liant, and Notwithstanding the ouips
and songs which he went through his
muscles showed no evidences of his
art. The changes of voice were mar
velous, and the astonished crowd at
the close Of the exhibition gave him
a rousing cheer. Again and again they
called him back, while he expressed
his pleasure by innumerable bows. At
last the cheering ceased and the artist
was permitted to retire. Hardly had
he done SO when the three "lay" fig
ures got up from their chairs and
walked off the stage. The ventrilo
Quist had employed three friends to
im~personate his usual mechanical fg.
ures, and he had tricked every one
of his audience.

IL Suited Him

Garrett p. Serviss, the noted science
writer, said at the Brooklyn University
club aproros of Halley's comet:
"The ignorant and superstitious
dread that the comet evoked in some
quarters reminds me Of the Millerites.
The Millerites back in seventy-two,
when Grant was up for a second term,
were preaching the immediate destruc-
ton Of the world. They were even
giving their property away.
"Well, at a Millerite camp meeting
one night in Maine a Millerite preacher
preached that the end of the world
would come on Oct. 1, just a month
before election.
1.-THE preacher noticed a man in a
front seat who manifested every
symptom Of satisfaction whenever the
date was driven home. Perplexed, he
accosted the man at the end of the
service and asked him why he had
shown pleasure yer such a terrible
matter.

He Was Part American.

Not long ago a man in a faded blue
uniform, wearing a wooden leg, ap-
preached the superintendent of mails
for New York city and applied for en-
ployment. The superintendent looked
him over and remarked inquir1ngly:

A Quaint Introduction,

An old Missourian recalls the quaint
speech with which an old Federal SOL
der once introduced General James
Shields to a Missouri audience. The
introduction included a high tribute to
Stonewall Jackson's generalship. Said
the old Union soldier:
Friends and Fellow Citizens-Allow
me to introduce General James Shields,
a citizen Of two countries, a hero Of
two wars, general in two armies, a
senator from two states and the man
who came nearer whipping Stonewall
Jackson than any other man ever did"
and here, looking around and seeing
no ladies in the audience, he added,
but didn't do it by a id sight,"-

Discomfort.

The landsman through a stormy street
And shades Of night was going.
The ground was paved with shifting sleet
The wintry wind was blowing.
Heaven pity grant and help" said he,
ITO those who live upon the sea!'
The sailor clinched a trembling mast
Mid mountains round him flowing.
While through the darkness thick and fast
The wintry winds were blowing.
Heaven save the landsman now" he said
"With chimneys topping round his head
But when the world grew mild once more
This tar, respondent growing,
Said, eff l could but walk ashore,
Though all the winds were blowing!'
The landslnan thought, Though storms
there be,
I would that l could sail the seal"

Made His Heart Glad.

When Dolly Madison was mistress
of the White House, Meley Meley, the
first Turkish minister to this country,
arrived in Washington, and a grand
ball was given in his honor, to which
h beauty and fashion of the town
focked, curious to see his elaborate
dress and turban. Meley Meley, how
ever, showed perfect Indifference to
the open admiration about him until,
spying a large, fat negress on her way
from the kitchen, he rushed to her
and, with much enthusiasm, threw his
arms around her, saying she reminded
him of home and his best and most
expensive wife-"a load for a camel"

WINNING A NAME.
The Incident That Crowned Mr.. Kelly
as "Honest john"

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest john
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself, according
to a New York letter, holds that it
came to him naturally, for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face.
II think the first time l was ever
called Honest John was when l was
quite a youngster,' said Kelly. "a
man engaged as an ambulatory sales
man of tinware observed the ingenious
c~ountenance l presented to the world
and hailed me. You look honest,
boy said he. What might your
name beT
":John,' said 1, quite simply-'John'
just like that. Then hold my horse
while l 60 in the saloon and get a
drink said he. And so l held his
horse while he went in the saloon and
got a drink.
But this was on lower Ninth ave

ors went to the man who could clean
up the most cops in a given time. BY
and by the gang came along and be-
held that wagon full of tinware. The
peddler was detained within by a sore
thirst, and they took the tinware, and
then they came back and took the
cushions off the wagon. Eventually,
becoming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took it away.
"True to my trust, l stood there,
holding the horse. And by and by
the reddler came out of the saloon
and sized up the situation. Well
said he warmly, you're Honest John.

relating our experiences, but new
er another's. Well, that mans story,
- near as l can repeat II. was this:
In a small northwestern town one
00th Of May service was held in the
big Union church. Among the speak
ers was the Episcopal bishop Of the
state, who had worn the blue back in
the sixties. The gray haired soldier
was tall and strong yet. The burdens
OF life had not bent his muscular form,
mol had the conflicts marked his calm,
good face. But his eyes-they were
the saddest I ever saw. When people
looked deep into them they reflected
such scenes Of sorrow that women
would cry and men did not care to
look very long.
When l came to think of it after
ward, the man in the a had the same
kind of eyes. But, to get on with his
story, just before the old bishop be-
gan his address a man had stolen in
and seated himself in one of the back
pews. Some eyed him s%uspiciously
and wondered how he had escaped the
uSherS. He was q very ragged fellow.
When the old bishop stood up to
speak the stranger gave his words the
closest attention. First he told about
the soldiers who were ~bivouacked in
their green tents out on the hills.
Then about those who hadn't any
graves, but were left down on the bull

The waiter, on being directed to bring

some day If they We're alive. Then he
began to tell Of his own son, a yellow
haired chap who had carried the uu-
ion colors up to the second battle Of
Bull Run. Till then they had fought
together. almost side by side. But one
day he saw the boy get a saber cut
on the face and fall. 1t was hard to
leave him, but the command was to
advance. Since then he had not seen
him. Once he saw his name among
those who had deserted and were fight

ter their true sons dead than his per-
haps living, but Still he would not
wish him back unless he came as a
good soldier, winning in the ranks Of
the Great Leader, a follower of the
Christ.
At this point the ragged fellow got
out Of his pew and started slowly up
the middle aisle. The ushers arose to
put him out, but the speaker raised his
hand and they stepped back. With
great frmness he walked unconscious
of the excitement until he reached the
altar steps. For a moment those two
men looked into each others eyes.
Then n fell down on his knees while
the other laid his hands upon the bow
ed head. The church was silent. One
could hear the clock hung on the rail
ing near the organ loft ticking.
"My friends"-the bishops voice was
husky and strained-"you all see this
man. l loved him once when he was
a boy. Since then he has deserted his
country's flag, stolen from his fellows,
wronged his old father. But today he
has come back and asks to be given u

Gently he lifted the tear stained face

"Do you, in the presence of God and
these people, renounce the life you
have lived, and do you willingly take
mp the banner to fight against sin and
y0urself?"
II do"
The answer was low, but it echoed
through the church as the old bishop
stretched his hands to heaven and
cried:
II have cast my prayers upon the
waters and they have returned to me

DECORATION DAY
| BY EUGENE r. WARE
(lronquill)

| 1.-THE author Of this unique poem Is q
Kansas lawyer, formerly commissioner OF
| pensions. and served through the civil
war. being mustered out as captain Of an
Iowa cavalry troop. Mr.. Ware has writ
ten many patriotic poems.1
T is needless I should tell you
OF the history of Sumter.
How the chorus Of the annou
shook its walls.
How the scattered navies gathered.
How the iron ranked battalions
Rose responsive to the country's urgent
calls.
1t Is needless that I tell you,
For the time Is still too recent,
How was heard the first vindictive can
mons peal,
How two brothers stopped debating
On a sad, unsettled question
And referred it to the arbitrating Steel
It is needless that I tell you
OF the somber days that followed
Stormy days that in sue slow succession
OF Antietam. Chickamauga,
Gettysburg and Murfreesboro
Or the rocky, cannon shaken Rapidan.
It was not a war of conquest.
1t was fought to save the Union:
It was waged for an idea of the right,
And the graves so widely scattered
Show how fruitful an idea
In peace or war may be in moral might.
Brief indeed the war had lasted
Had 1t ragged In hope of plumber,
Briefer still had glory been it's only aim,
But its long and sad duration
And the graves 1t has bequeathed us
Other motives, other principles, proclaim.
Need 1 mention this idea.
The invincible idea,
That seemed to hold and save the nations
life;
That resistless and unblenching,
Undisheartened by disaster,
Seemed the soul and inspiration OF the
strife?
This idea was Of freedom
Was that men should all stand equal,
That the world was interested in the
fight:
That the present and the future
Were electors who had chosen
Us to argue and decide the case Alright.
And the theories Of freedom
Those now silent bugles uttered
Will reverberate with ever glowing tones.
They can never be forgotten,
But will work among the nations
Till they sweep the world Of shackles and
of thrones.
It Is meet hat we do honor
To the comrades who have fallen,
Meet that we the sadly woven garlands
Irvine.
Where they buried lie is sacred,
Whether meath the northern marble
Or beneath the southern cypress tree or
pine.
Nations are the same as children
Always living in the future,
Living in their aspirations and their
hopes,
Picturing some future greatness,
Reaching forth for future prizes,
With a wish for higher aims and grander
scopes.
It is better for the people
That they reach for an ideal,
That they give their future nations better
lives,
Though the standard be unreal,
Though the hope meets no fulfllment,
Though the fact in empty dreams alone
survives.
II the people rest contented
With the good they have accomplished,
Then they retrograde and slowly sink
away.
Give a nation an ideal,
Some grand. noble, central project,
1t. Xix adamant. refuses to decay.
IT'S the duty Of the poet,
IT'S the duty Of the statesman,
To iNSpire a natiOn'S life with pohlo~
aims.
And dishonor will o'ershadow
Him who dares not or who falsely
