TALE OF THREE GIRLS.
Also the Tale of Kisses that Goes
with the Story.

John Davidson, of New Orleans,
who was visiting his aunt in Palisade,
Mrs. Charles I. Logan, loves a good
story. Among the good things he left
behind was this:
Three girls, one in her teens, an
other in her twenties, and the third
an old maid. They went to a party
one night, all three remaining in the
same house They agreed to tell each
other at the breakfast table the next
morning how many kisses each one
got the night before, and each to use
the word morning. to indicate how
many times they had been kissed.
When the girl of seventeen came
down to breakfast, she said:
Good morning. Nice morning this
morning"
Then the girl of twenty-five came
down, and as she came in, said:
Good morning, this morningi Nice
morning this morning. [ hope to-mor-
row morning will be as nice a morning
as this morning"
When the old maid came down she
put her head in the door and said;
Hello"

Just HOPES,

A gentleman never snatches his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going through his pock-

the morning. He is perfectly welcome

of a very simple character and there are not as
many graves to be decorated might be supposed
by the person not conversant with the compare
lively small number of marked graves on Gettys-
burg battlefield. Yet there are other occasions
when the exercises at Gettysburg focus the eyes
of the entire country This is the case when the
president of the United States delivers the ad-
dress OF the day at Gettysburg, as President Tart
did a couple of years afo as President Roosevelt
did before him. and almost all OF our presidents
have done in their day since that memorable occa-
sion when President Lincoln dedicated the Get

The audience which faces president or other
public man at Gettysburg invariably impresses
the distinguished orator. 1t is an assemblage
obviously made up largely of the farming class
and it is apt to be less demonstrative than the
applauding crowds that are encountered in factory
towns but It is body of men and women who
nay such close attention to the address of which
they are auditors and who manifestly repre-
sent the sober solid, intelligent sentiment OF our
national community to inspire the best efforts

Gettysburg audiences we'll as in the inspira-
ton of the historic surroundings that may
find the incentive to the significant utterances
affecting the general policy of the nation which
have from time to time been given expression by
our chief magistrates in Memorial day addresses
at Gettysburg.
Gettysburg ranks the most elaborately and
accurately marked battlefield in the world, having
more monuments and memorials than all other
battlefelds combined The position OF every body
of troops in the union army and OF most OF those
comprising the confederate forces have been
clearly outlined by distinctive landmarks and the
maneuvers Of the wonderful battle may be traced

more than four hundred memorial shafts and
tablets and than one thousand markers

million dollars When the present scheme OF
roadways is completed there will be between loo

The cemetery in dedicating which Abraham
Lincoln delivered the immortal address familiar
to every American originally contained the bodies
of 1856 soldiers removed from all parts OF the
field where they had been hastily buried. The
number of graves has been greatly increased since
that date and there is yet ample space for the
veterans who may desire to rest at the scene
of the supreme struggle between the Union and
the Confederacy. One of the features OF the
