II might have bafiied a far more
mature Intelligence than Hannibals
to comprehend those peculiar process
es b.; which the Judge sustained him
self and his intimate fellowship with
adversity-that 1t was his magnifi-
cence OF mind which made the
squalor OF his daily life seem merely
a passing phase-but the boy had
managed to point delicate distinc-
ton. and Betty grasped something OF
the hope and faith which never quite
died out In Slocum Prices indomita-
BILE breast.
But you always have enough to
ent, dear?" she questioned anxiously.
Hannibal promptly treasured her on
this point You wouldn't let me
think anything that was not true. Han
nibal-you are quite sure you have
never been hungry"
Never, Miss Betty; honest,"
Betty gave a sigh of relief. She
had been reproaching herself for her
neglect OF the child: she had meant
to do so much for him and had done
nothing, Now 1t was too Late for her
personally to interest herself in his
behalf. yet before she left for the east
she would provide for him. II she
had felt 1t was possible TO trust the
judge she would have made him her

Does he-drink. too. Hannibal p
questioned Betty.
"Oh. yes: when he can get the
ticker, he does" II was evident that
Hannibal was cheerfully tolerant OF
this weakness on the part OF the
austere Mahany. BY this time Betty
was ready to weep over the child
with his knowledge OF shabby vice
ana his fresh young faith in those OLD
tatterdemalions.
But. no matter what they do, they
are very. very kind to you?" she con
tinued TREMENDOUSLY.
Yes. ma'am-why. Miss Betty
they're lovely men,"
And do you ever hear the things
spoken OF you learned about at Mrs
Ferris Sunday-school?"
when the judge is drunk he talks
heap about 'em. It's beautiful to
hear him then: you'd love 1t, Miss
Betty" and Hannibal smiled up sweet

Veterans Throng Big Tent
to Hear Governors Speak

GETTYSBURG. Pa, July 4-"Gov-
ernors' day" In the big tent was great
success. The Enclosure was crowded
with thousands OF cheering veterans. Pat
riotism and love of country was the key
note of the speeches. Interest was added
to the occasion by the presence OF con-
gressional committee Of twenty-one rep
resentatives and nine senators. who came
from Washington. headed by Vice Presi
dent Marshall and Speaker Champ Clark.
One practical suggestion came from the
meeting today. Gov. Cox of Ohio In the
course of his address urged that the Ma
tional Soldiers Home at Johnson City,
Tenn. be turned over to the Confederates
for use as q home for the veterans who
fought under the southern flag. The audi
ence voiced its approval of the sugges-
ton by tremendous applause.
Vice President Marshall was the first
speaker His address was in the nature
of Fourth of July Grafton. He said in
part:
LIT would be vain to speak of right or
wrong on this occasion. This celebration
could only happen in America Nowhere
else III the world could men who fought
clasp hands in brotherly love as they are
doing here today. This occasion wipes
out the last Of the Mason and Dixon line.
AS Bob Taylor once said. there is now no
difference between the north and the
south. except cold bread and hot biscuits
Speaker Clark made his usual hit with
the audience He commended the senti-
ment of Mr.. Marshall that only in Amer
lea could there be witnessed the scene of
once bitter foes clasping hands in
brotherly love fifty years after they had
fought each other. and he recalled that
lit took England 2JO years to get around
to the point of erecting a statue to it's
great prince. Oliver Cromwell"
10 L.,
fervently declared. was not northern
valor. 1t was not southern valor, but 1
thank the Almighty God 1t was American
valor. The greatest thing of all Is to be
an American citizen.
After Gov McCreary Of Kentucky spoke.
came Gov. Sulzer of New York, Mann of
Virginia, a war veteran, who produced
great enthusiasm by declaring IF we
had known each other as well In 1861
as we do now the war would have been
impossible; Baldwin, Connecticut: Han
ma, North Dakota; Miller, Delaware;
Haines. Maine. and Ralston. Indiana.
Gov: Cox of Ohio was favorite and
his Confederate soldiers home sugges-
ton appeared to strike popular chord.
Gov. Eberhart of Minnesota aroused a
great laugh by saying in a mock serious
manner: What an indescribable pleas
ure must be experienced by Vice Presi-
dent Marshall. who presides over the
Senate. and Speaker Clark, who presides
over the House, to come here and look
into the faces OF so many honest men,
He referred to New York as a place
where the streets are so narrow and
the buildings SO tall that two railroad
presidents cannot meet without forming
a combina ton"
Gov Eberhart closed with a patriotic
appeal that brought forth loud cheers.
Although the many veterans stayed
over night to hear President Wilson
speak today. the celebration practically
ended last night with a fireworks dis
play.
