T"TTy to- be cheerful. / suppose you
can't help thinkin' of your Uncle Will
liam at a time like this; but remember
how glorious 1t was for him to give
his life for his country. It's a sad
occasion. but always remember that
some must lose while others win In the
battle of life, What happened must
have been for the best or God wouldn't
of let it happen that way, you know"
"Yes," pa answered, almost groanfn',
II know what you say Is true"
Then he sat there and seemed to be
thinkin of something that couldn't be
helped.
"Is there anything can do for your"
ma asked.
mo, there's no help for it now," pa
answered.
Don't look that way" ma said.
"How can 1 help it?" pa asked, but It
was easy to see that he didn't know
what ma was talkin' about. ut makes
me mad to think of crowd Of farm
ers like those fellows from the retail
department goin' in and winnin by the
score of % to Z, and then have our
men blame it on me becoz my pitchin
arm went back on me In the fourth
inning. If they wouldn't of taken me
out of the box just when was gettin'
my nerve back"
Then he happened to look UP at ma,
and stopped as though he had thot Of
something he hadn't remembered be-
fore, and the rest of the evening was
so dismal that it didn't seem as tho
pa ever had a patrie ottic thot in bis

A Few Honest Pointers
In Regard to Paint.

When you go into a store and ask
for paint don't be misled if the pro-
prietor or the clerk begins to sell you
paint by weight. Don't be fooled be-
cause the greatest weight does not
always mean the greatest value, for
instance, green and dark colored
paint do not carry as much white
lead, as white and light colored
paints, therefore, If your dealer
weighs up a gallon of his competi-
tors paint, say green or some dark
colored paint, surely it will not weigh
as much as gallon of his white
paint. Then again there is a way of
making a gallon of paint weigh
heavy without much cost, but we
hope no dealer in Honesdale sells
this kind; paint that is adulterated
with Barytes, which costs about $40
per ton while pure white lead Is
worth about $3.50 per ton, but the
Barytes has very little if any cover
ing capacity, although it is heavy and
very white. These are only a few
facts that everybody should know. If
you want an absolutely guaranteed
paint-a paint that one gallon will
cover 800 square feet, two coats
and paint that will be cheap in the
long run, you will surely make no
mistake if you buy DEVOE. Erik

ITCHING IRRITATION.
Worst Form of Skin Trouble Quickly
Relieved by inexpensive Treatment

When you suffer with any skin
trouble, even though the itching
seems unbearable, do not think that
it is necessary to use some disgust
ing, greasy ointment. Try Hokara,
pure and simple cream, that is
guaranteed to contain no grease or
acids and which is so cleanly that it
does not soil the linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any
irritation of the skin and make it
soft, white and beautiful is almost
miraculous.
Not only do minor skin troubles
like pimples, blackheads, acne, bar
ber's itch, etc., quickly disappear, but
the worst ulcers or cases of salt
rheum or eczema are cleansed and
healed by this wonderful skin food.
In order that any one may try Ho-
kara at small expense, Peils drug
store is selling q liberal-sized jar at
25c, and in addition guarantee to re-
fund the money if the treatment does
not do all that is claimed for it.

not noticin' what ma had said, "for

sublime sentamunts they can go back
to work feelin' SO much better that 1t

MA laid one Of her hands on pas

he couldn't help 1t, only 1t was a
shame we couldn't have the day to
ourselves. After pa lit his cigar and
started away ma told me and little

our father had spoken and try to grow
up to be good and patrie ottic like
him.
In the afternoon she took us out to see
the parade, but before 1t came along
a horse ran away, and ma got scared
and said a crowd was no place for
women and children that didn't have
a father there to protect them, 80 she
brought US home again before the pro-
cession arrived, and 1t was a sad day
for US. Little Albert made a sail boat
that he tried to sail in the bath tub.
but he fell In with his best suit on,
and ma said she wished there never
was such thing as Memorial day.
By the time pa got home the house
was all upset and ma said her nerves
were all frazzled out. but pa looked so
sad when he came in that we felt sor-

-t{f1 ence and neglect Of a new
'ss'.-'..- generation. The veterans
feel the change keenly, unless they
happen to be philosophers who take
an impersonal view Of the nations
attitude, apparent and real.
If they are able, however, to put
aside the sense of personal injury
which many feel, the men who saved
the country from dismemberment
find that they are not being pushed
aside as much as they are exalted
The nation does not cater to them aa
1t once did in public affairs. They
are not so sought and feared in poll
tics. But they are lifted up out of the
realm Of controversy. The old, angry
discussion Of the pension system has
largely died out. There is almost no
tearing open of the old wounds
caused by charges and counter
charges against officers, men and or
ganizations.
Every year the position of the vet
Grams of the great war is more fully
accepted as beyond dispute and out Of
the field of contention. Every Memo
rial day finds them nearer the exalted
place where the heroes Of the revolu-
ton have long been enshrined.
Fifty years after the war for the
Union began and forty-seven years
after it ended, the nation cannot be
expected to turn aside from the many
concerns of its complex life to cele-
brate Decoration day IN quite the old
manner, with the old singleness of
purpose and interest. 1t is partly a
question of time, partly of proper
tions. The ratio between the total
population and the veterans Of the
war changes constantly and rapidly.
Many millions Of Americans have
come to this country long after the
war, and their children born here
| number many millions, also.
But these comparative new comers,
like the older stock and the survivors
of the period just after the war, are
all loyal in thought and feeling to the
heroes of the tremendous struggle
which made the American republic of
today possible. They simply accept
the fruits Of the sacrifices of civil
war veterans as they do the light of
the sun, the fertile fields older gener-
ations cleared, the cities built before
their time, and other good gifts Of a
beneficent Providence. The men who
kept the nation from splitting apart
stand with these later millions side
by side with the heroes of earlier wars.
So the growing space between the
great mass Of the American people
and the veterans of the Civil war is
distance upward rather than in any
other direction. The soldiers and
sailors of the Union are being lifted
! farther and farther above the rush of
the life of times. If there is a seem
ing forgetfulness in the nations atti-
tude there is a more perfect harmony
in its veneration.

The Awful Story Told by
Comparing the Monthly Record.

1t will be noted that beginning
with the month of March, 1864,
when the prison camp had only been
open one month and the Union pris-
oners had only been in captivity
short time, the daily average of
deaths was not excessively large.
The next month it will be noted that
the daily average more than doubled.
In May the mortality was not so
great, but in June the daily average
nearly doubled again. 1t will be
noted that as the number of prison
ers increased the daily average num-
ber of deaths increased away beyond
the ratio of the early months. This
was because the prisoners were
growing weaker and weaker from
starvation, exposure and neglect.
The Ending of the War Story
In Mr.. Crossley's Own Words.
"An old saying is" said Mr..
Crossley, that every man has his
price" 1 have seen men so cheap
that they were waiting to sell them
selves, and others whose price was
no less than their eternal salvation.
"By their deeds ye shall know
them" The latter were always
hopeful, encouraging the sorrowful
and oppressed, ministering to the
sick, closing the eyes of the dying
and interceding at the Throne of
Mercy for the safety and rest of their
departing comrades. In their con-
ception of duty and patriotism they
