Horatius' Work Appreciated.


"The annals of the ancient Roman
people tell us of Horatius, who mad
lost one eye in battle. When the
Etrurian king, Parsenna, avenged the
Punishment of the Tarquins by ad-
vancing against Rome, it was this
Horatius who led two comrades out
on the Sublicon bridge which spanned
the Tiber He held the bridge against
the enemy while the Romans were
breaking it down behind them. When
the bridge was almost cut down TO
prevent the incoming of the foe,
Horatius sent his two companions
back to the city and continued to de-
fend the bridge with his glistening
sword till at last the crashing OF rail-
ing timbers and the shouts OF the
Romans announced that the work was
done. Enfeebled by wounds, Horatlus
plunged into the river with his armor
still held aloft, warding off the darts
of the enemy. and he reached the op-
posite bank in safety. Did his people
forget him? No. They built a splendid
monument in his honor. They gave
him as much land as he could ploW
around In one day. In the time OF IA
mine they starved themselves rather
than to see him in want. His people al
ways hailed him as the savior OF his
country.

picnic or some sort of an outing
rather than view parades, decorate
graves and think of the battles and
leaders Of the civil war. But no word
or act Of any individual can add to or
detract from the accomplishments Of
the boys In blue.
ION Memorial day the people of our
land leave business behind and listen
to words of appreciation spoken in an
attempt to give honor to whom honor
is due. Then many hands scatter
flowers which are fragrant with CRATE
full remembrance. until the graves Of
our fallen heroes blossom afresh. This
is fitting. It would be the boldest in
gratitude to forget either the dead or
living heroes of that great conflict.
1--WE remember those who render
some conspicuous service in a critical
time of our country's life. Such names
as Washington and Lincoln have been
SO deeply chiseled into our hearts that
they cannot be effaced. They will live
as long as our nation lasts. But the
story of the one poor man whose name
we do not know but who rescued the
besieged city reminds us that all noble
deeds are not performed simply by
men of national repute.~ Some who
have rendered the best service in the
cause Of humanity have never been In
the limelight; the world has not ap-
plauded: the world has not even
known their names They were not
seekers of gain or notoriety. They
may have been in the ordinary ranks.
Today their dust lies in a trench of
some hill or mountain; In a beautiful
national burial ground like Arlington
for the soldier dead, with plain
board marked unknown or in some
village cemetery known only to few
who loved them and have lost them
a while, The man in the ranks who
fought bravely, who was courageous.

He has declared in favor of liberal
pensions for the soldiers of the Union
army who served In the civil war. He
states that he favors such pensions as
will not merely keep the veterans
from want, but will also make it pos
sible for them to enjoy some of the
comforts and Injuries of life during
their declining years. He advocates
the introduction of business methods
into government, and economies
along other lines that will make pos
sible material increases in pension ap-

going to win. He has a splendid or
ganization. He never loafs a minute.
He is a successful business man and
3 thorough republican. The boys who
are close to him say better fellow
never lived. He is absolutely depend
able and when he tells you anything
you can rely upon his word. Really
now what congress needs Is business
men. Men who will work and look
after the interests Of their district
Nowadays game of talk Of few
minutes don't count for much. It's
the work in the committee room that
tells the tale. If congressman Is
good fellow, and sincere. he will be
helped by his co-workers in congress.
That's the real test in congressman.

all the qualities that make a good OF.
