The Phantom Army

And l saw a phantom army come
With never a sound of fife or
drum.
But keeping step to the muffled
hum
OF wailing lamentation-
The martyred heroes of Malvern
Hill,
OF Gettysburg and Chancellors-
Vile,
The men whose wasted bodies fill
The patriot graves of the nation.
And there came the unknown
dead, the men
Who died in fever, swamp and
fen,
The slowly starved of prison pen.
And marching beside the others
Came the dusky martyrs of Pill
lows fight,
With limbs enfranchised and bear
ing bright,
] thought-'twas the pslle moon
light-
They looked as white as their
brothers.
And so all night marched the ma
tions dead,
With never a banner above them
spread,
No sign save the bare, uncovered
head
OF the silent, grim Reviewer.
With never an arch but the vault
ed sky,
With not a flower save those
which lie
On distant graves, for love could
buy
No gift that was proper or truer
So all night long moved the
strange array,
So all night long till the break of
day,
/ watched for one who had passed
away,
With a reverent awe and wonder,
Till blue cap waved in the
lengthening line,
And l knew that one who was kin
of mine
Had come, and l spoke-and, To-,
that sign
Awakened me from my slumber |!

PAY Your Small Debts.

Much financial stringency of the
past and many financial disasters
have been traced to failure of peo-
pie to pay their small debts, says
an exchange.
Every small dealer has upon his
books small accounts against the
prosperous who could pay with very
little inconvenience and be as well
off afterwards as before, but these
little accounts against rich people
who are to careless to pay them
usually represent about the differ
ence between the profit and loss of
a small business. If every rich
person in the United States today,
should start out and pay every lit
tie retailer what is due him, there
would be an era of great prosperity
started in this country, the like of
which we have probably never
seen.
Little drops of water. little
grains of sand, make the mighty
ocean and the beauteous land"
A thousand little accounts run
ming from twenty-five cents to five
dollars makes very large crimp in
the bank account of a small retail
dealer. Many a man carrying on a
little business has geen forced to
the wall simply because he could
not collect his accounts from PEG.
pie who were rich and who would
not pay, were too good to be sued
or whose accounts were not large
enough to pay for collection in any
forcible manner.

will speak here during the coming
campaign. The National Commit

During the late sos, little Tom
my Marshall played about the

years old when his father, a physi-

family remained in the Missouri
town until a few days before cleo
ton of Abraham Lincoln, when the
father and husband, a Douglas
Democrat, engaged in a controversy
with a Breckenridge supporter,
which resulted in the hurried de-
parture of the Marshalls. Needless
to say, when the Governor arrives,
he will in place of the strife and
bitterness of those early days find
a spirit of united enthusiasm.
A large crowd is coming to at
tend this home coming event.
Ample arrangements will be made
for the accommodation and COM
fort of visitors and guests.
1t is expected that, besides Gov,

For Him Who Waits.

Everything comes in its own good
time;
1t is we who get in hurry
The wires get crossed and our
hearts grow sad
With watching and waiting and
worry.
To have and to hold of worldly
goods,
Or winning a common living,
Absorbs of our time a greater share
Than all of our schemes of giving
Everything comes to the one who
waits,
Save the things we dread from
habit.
Some have a way of catching cold
AS boy might catch a rabbit.
Some have a way of looking down,
No matter how bright the
weather;
They seem at loss to understand
Why troubles all come together.
Everything comes our way in time,
Whether we're brave or shrinking
Comes in about the way we shape
Our habits of life and thinking
Lives that are lived in stress OF
pain
Can not be blithe or cherry,
While the heart that sings in its
love of song
Will never of singing weary.
Everything comes to us all in time
Money and health and station.
None are so small but they have G
right
To the bounty of all creation.
A right? Why, yes, there's a place
on top
For the best in every calling;
The fellow who climbs without look
ing down
Need never have fear of falling
