memory's book and recounting deeds

While we still pay distinctive trib-

Memorial day adds to love fol- and de-

There never can be an oversupply OF
such love and devotion. Efforts In that

1t Is sometimes a question whether
or not child should be assisted in
the preparation of his les sons for the
next day. Good pedagogy declares
that the child develops most quickly
who Is stimulated by a problem that
challenges his ability, one that is not
too easy, one that is not too hard.
II 1t is the former, he Is not inter
ested; whereas, II 1t is the latter, he
Is discouraged. 1t may be taken. as
a general rule. that 1t ID better not
to help a child until he has gotten
discouraged and then rather to help
him to help himself. to guide him
and let him go the rest of the way
himself.
A backward child, Of course, needs
more assistance than a bright child.

developing self-reliance; his tendency

IT'S great achievements, towering
III military genius, steadfastness of

CURED ability successfully to handle
vast armies and win great battles,

General Grant at the head of the long

In history for all time.
But what Of his lieutenants? It
has come to be common in speaking
of few to give rank as follows: Sher-

Other distinguished characters follow,
but in this paper their names need not

would that be 80 far out Of the way?

Gettysburg in importance and it's in

GERM OF IMMORTAL ADDRESS
Proof That Lincoln Long Had In Mind
Right Idea Of What the War
Meant

Hay referred to Browning's sug.
gestion that the North should sub
jugate the South, exterminate the
whites, set up black republic and
protect the negroes while they raised
our cotton"
Some OF our Northerners seem be-
wildered and dazzled by the excite
ment of the hour" Lincoln replied.
"Doolittle seems inclined to think that
this war is to result in the entire
abolition of slavery. Old Colonel Ham,
ilton, a venerable and most respect
able gentleman. impress upon me
most earnestly the propriety of en-
listing the slaves in our army" Il
told him his daily mail was thickly
interspersed with such suggestions.)
For my own part he said. 81 con.
slider the central idea pervading this
struggle is the necessity that is upon
us Of proving that popular government
is not an absurdity. We must settle this
question now. whether in a free govern
ment the minority have the right to
break up the government whenever
they choose. II we fail. we will 60
far to prove the incapability of the
people to govern themselves. There
may be one consideration used in stay
OF such final judgment, but that is not
for us to use in advance: That is that
there exists in our case an instance
OF vast and far-reaching disturbing
element which the history of no other
free nation will probably ever present.
That, however. is not for us to say
at present. Taking the government
as We found it, we will see II the ma
jority can preserve It."
This statement, spoken offhand to
his secretary. reveals the foundation
Of Lncoln's judgment on the Civil
war; there was at stake something
more precious than the preservation
OF the Union. something more urgent
than the abolition of slavery-and that

THE GRAND ARMY.

Hark to the stirring sound
or fife and drum.
AS slowly up the fiag-draped streets they
come!
Once more the day rolls round
When, hating weary. gray and glory
crowned,
These heroes Of an epic grand,
These men whose boards were singed by
cannon flame,
Who fought the bravest foemen known
to fame
Until the glad truce came.
Pass in review before the land.
Memories bitter-sweet and deep
Thrill through the veterans breast
As, wind-caressed,
The nations banner waves
Above the peaceful. fower-strewn graves
Where comrades sleep.
Soon they must all bs tenting on one
ground.
Before they go
ACROSS the river in the shade to rest
IT'S well that we, their sons. should let
our sires know
How honored in our hearts they are and
blessed.

CHAPTER XVI.
"A Regular Hoss."


Abe flung himself back on his hard
couch, drew the thick. gray blanket
over him, and straightway fell into a
deep, childlike slumber from which he
was aroused by the rough but hearty
inquiry:
Say. Cap. like to have some oyster
stew and q cup of coffee?"
Abe sat up. rubbing his eyes, won.
dering since when they had begun to
serve oyster stew for breakfast on the
beach; then he realized that he he
had not oversight. and that 1t was not
morning.
The clock was striking twelve, the
midnight patrol was just going out,
and the returning runners" were bid
ding him partake Of the food they had
just prepared to cheer them after their

Abe dropped his eyes in confusion.
Was he never to be rid OF those apron
strings?"
We'll, there's worse things than
good women" proceeded the captain.
Il wish we had few over here" He
sighed with the quiet. dull manner Of
the men who have lived long on the
beach. Since they made the rule that
the men must eat and sleep in the
station it's been pretty lonely. That's
why there's 80 many young fellows in
the service nowadays; married men
with families won't take the job"

Again the keeper sighed, and drew
his coverlid closer. Nov, it's just
men, men, nothing but men. Not a
petticoat in five miles; and tell you,
sometimes we get mad looking at one
another. don't we, boys?"
The two young men had sobered,
and their faces also had taken on that
look engendered by life of dull rou-
tine among sand hills at the edge of
lonely sea, with seldom the sound
of woman's voice in their ears or the
prattle Of little children.

The other man helped him clear the
table. I'm goin' to get married In

his own dishes into the kitchen, sis
