Simple and Forcible.

Sir Richard Jebb, the eminent phy' sician, was a man of irritable temper, and when bored by the querulous com plaints of some of his patients could not always force himself to return a civil answer.

MEANT TO HELP OUT DADDY
Young Son Of North Carolina Con-
gresham Holds Record for
Youthful Legislator.

Master Edwin Webb, the eight
year-old son of Representative Webb
of North Carolina is the youngest
person to have a vote recorded in the
house. Young Webb returned home
from school Monday and found the
apartment door locked and his moth
er gone. He walked to the capitol,
four miles away, and went upon the
floor of the house to hunt for his
father. Mr.. Webb had stepped out
of the room for few minutes. The
roll was being called on a bill.
When the clerk called out sMr.
Webb" the boy, who was resting in
his fathers chair, voted eyes," A
handful of nearby congressman
laughed; the vote was recorded.
Mrs. Webb, who was in the gallery,
saw what happened, and she was en-

eve and motioned for him.
'Why did you vote, child?" asked
Mrs. Webb.
'Why, mother, daddy was out, and
that was his liquor bill; he wanted
to vote for it,"
The lad did not know that the

OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY.

OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY.
Friday will be the fortytifth Me
mortal Day. 1t was in 1868 that
General John A. Logan. then
Commander-in-clief of the Grand
Army, issued the first order for the
laying of flowers on the tombs of
the Union dead.
Every year since in all the north
ern states the day has bee1robserv-
ed. and Decoration Day, or more
properly Memorial Day, has be-
come the most beautiful holiday in
the American calendar.
For years the Grand Army posts
took active charge of the memorial
services. They appointed COM
mittees, arranged parades and
marched in them, and their wives
and daughters twined the wreaths
that were placed on the graves OF
the dead. With the passing of
years the posts have dWindled in
numbers. Some of them are al
most extinct. Their remaining
members no longer march. Their
wives are too old for the revcrent
rites of the cemetery. Their work
has passed to Younger hands. But
Memorial Day rises higher in the
esteem of Americans, even as the
remaining soldiers pass from the
scene. The ceremony is more
sacred in the eyes of those who re-
main, the less the participants in
the Civil War are able to perform
it themselves. Memorial Day will
never be abandoned, as long as
there is a patriotic population in
America.
1t has given us finer ideals. 1t
has quickened patriotism in every
village to which veteran returned
to make his lot and die. 1t has in
cl,lcatcd the lessons of freedom in
every schoolhouse. Without the
old soldiers it will not be the holy
day it was in his lifetime, but its
lessons, while less concrete, will be
not less worthy the Nations con-
ming when he is gone.-Minneapo-
lis Journal
This is the season of the year
when one feels the enticing call OF
nature. In doors becomes suffo
eating to all alike. Little girls
paddle i'll the ponds of shallow wa
ter or hunt for the first flowers that
peep through the shooting grass in
the meadow bottom. The boys
make excursions out to the haunts
OF the prairie gopher, or along the
rollicking streams where they soon
learn every habit OF fish, bird and
reptile. Even a grown man finds
it hard to resist natures call and
longs necessarily for the open. For
the imprisoned inmate of the suffo-
eating house who sees no chance
tor a real vacation, probably the
quickest way to cure this longing
tor the fields is to put in about one
good, long day prying out stones
