Grandma S.

Il am afraid she won't get
WE'LL" This was the anxious and
earnest expression of a little
ooy, on the street the other day,
when asked by the reporter
where he was going. He was
standing on the curb waiting for
he mail carrier who was to take
him to the end of the route,
there he would be met by his
grandpa, in the old family
buggy, and taken on to see his
sick grandma. 81 am afraid she
won't get WE'LL" he said, and
there was a culver in his chin,
and he turned his head away to
hide a gathering moisture in his
eyes. When he thought no one
was looking he drew his coat
sleeve across his face. What a
tale those words tell! If there is
one place on earth sacred to a
boy it is grandma's. In most
cases it is the first home the
child knew, particularly if he is
the first child in the family.
Under the shade of the old
apple tree" and in the plain old
sitting room" she was wooed
and won, and under the same
old roof she was wed, and as an
eXpectant mother she comes
back to he with her mother nm
der the same roof, during her
trial-so new, so strange, so
awful. Here in the old home
where she was born her baby is
born, and his grandma's arms
are his first cradle, and his
eyes open first upon the light
which CLEANS down at grand
mas, and forever afterwards q
halo rests upon the old framed
house, at grandma's. Later, he
began to toddle around, which
first wonderful steps, and his
first wonderful tooth, were
quickly reported to grandma,
and woman like, she said, "wel

baby. Can't you come and stay

StOnewan Jackson.
The World MAY 9:

St0neWall Jackson.
The World May 2:
Fifty years ago tonight there
fell MORALLY wounded at Chan
cellorsville one of the great
captains of the English-speak-
ing races.
Lee, who called Stonewall
Jackson his strong right arm,
once said that he would have
won Gettysburg if Jackson had
been there. Be that as it may,
the almost uninterrupted victor
ries of the Army of Northern
Virginia ended when jackson
passed away. Charlottesville
marked the food-tide of the
Confederate armies. Two months
later came Gettysburg, and
from thence on to Appomattox
Lees forces, despite all their
marvellous courage and tenacity,
were never again invincible.
Jackson's place in military
history is unique. Most great
regulations were made by long
years of service. His career was
compressed into a scanty
twenty-five months, from that
day in July, 1861, when Lee
pointed to chin standing like
a stone wall" at Bull Run, to
the early May day in 1868 when
he marched his corps around the
front of Hooker's army, smashed
in its right flank and gave the
Confederacy it's most brilliant
victory, only to fall under the
fire of his own men.
A terrible partnership was
that between the Cavalier and
the Puritan; between Lee, who
embodied the chivalry of Vir-
ginia, and Jackson, who was
direct spiritual descendant of the
men that fought with Cromwell
at Naseby. In all crises the two
men seemed to fight with a sim
gle brain and a single purpose,
destitute alike of the jealousy
and intrigue that all but wrecked
the Army of the Potomac.
Jackson presents a strange,
appealing figure on the pages of
history. He was as gentle and
gracious as Lee, as silent and
tactiturn as Grant, as daring
and audacious as Stuart OF
Sheridan, as relentless as Sher-
, man, and with it all there was
an intensity of religious fervol
that belonged to the seventh
century rather than the nine.
