Question of Authorship.

WHEN Demetra Vaka, author of
" "Haremik" and I'm the Shadow OF
Isam," first came to America she was
governess for a year to the two little
grandsons of j. Fenimore Cooper. The
children had been brought UP with the
utmost reverence for their famous grand
father. and had unconsciously imbibed the
belief that all the worlds best literature
was the offspring Of his pen.
Something was said in the elder boys
hearing one day about one of the books
Of the Bible, with some reference to Its
authorship, and the boy looked up at his
governess with startled face.
''Who wrote the BihleT' he demanded,
as one whose first faith has been shaken.
Demetra Vaka explained as best she
could about the various books, and the
BOYS sighed still bit incredulous.

MINGLlNG OF BLUE AND GRAY

Early In 1866, Just after the close OF
the Civil war. Mrs. Mary A. W. How.

suggested the setting apart OF a day
for placing flowers on graves Of con-
federate soldiers and for appropriate
memorial exercises. The idea was re-
ceived with general approval, and
April rs. that year. was made the oc-
casion for the first confederate me-
mortal observances.
This southern idea appealed to the
sentiments OF men and women OF the
north as worthy Of imitation. In 1868.
Gen. John A. Logan. then national
commander OF the Grand Army. issued
an order calling for Memorial day ex.
ercises May 80.
The latter date has been retained
as the time for the annual decoration
OF union soldiers graves and public
exercises commemorative OF the lives
and deeds OF the men In blue. The
ex-confederates In most OF the states
have continued TO observe April 20,
though the custom Is not uniform.
