During that war, as many people
will remember a band of generous
men and women organized for the
purpose of giving a good meal to

MOTHER OF HARRY THAW
CONTRIBUTES BOOKS TO

Among the inmates of the Sold
iers' Home, is the vice commander
of the National Indian War Veter-
ans, j. W. Copley. Mr.. Copley is
cousin of Mrs. Thaw (Harry's
mother) of Pittsburg, Pa, and he
recently received from her several
copies of a book entitled Gathered
Sheaves" of which Mrs. Thaw's
father was the author. Mrs. Thaw
had four brothers in the Civil wal,
three of whom gave up their lives
for the flag. Their father was

Call You This Chance:
The following is one of the inter
esting chapters taken from the book
THE writer had four sons in the
service during the war of the Re-
bellion John S. Copley, the eldest
of the four, was killed in the battle
of South Mountain, in Maryland, on
the 14th of September, 1862. He
was a member of Company A, 9Th
PENNSYLVANIA Reserves, good man,
and sincere Christian. or his
death | was able to answer, 1T is
we'll.
"The next in age was Albert, a
member of the 18th Pennsylvania
volunteers. In character he was
like his brother. At the battle of
Stone River in Tennessee, he was
wounded by an exploded shell and
captured. He and his fellow-prison-
ers were put on board train and
carried southwark nearly to the
border of Florida. There they were
turned back, to be taken to Rich
mond. because some Union forces
| had in the meantime come near to
that part of the Gulf States.
Although not mortally wounded,
200 miles OF continuous travelling
was more than he was able to bear.
When the returning train got as far
as Knoxville. Tenn, he was taken
off and put into a hospital. There
he wrote me a short letter, giving
me the above facts. He spoke hope
fully of his recovery; but very soon
afterward another letter from some
| one there informed me of his death
The Monte Vista journal., 1915-03-06

He told me that Albert gave that
nurse what little he had in return
for his unwearing kindness.
My good soldier friend then told
me that he had slight wound on
the ankle which was giving him
trouble, and inquired if there was
any chance of having it dressed. l
at once took him into little room
in the corner of the hall where there
were all needed appliances for such
purpose. Believe me that | was
glad that l was thus able to make
our meeting mutual benefit.
Now what shall we say to all
this? If you ask why | went over
at all at that unreasonable hour. |
can not tell you. And when / got
there, was it chance that led me to
the only man among ten or twelve
hundred who was able to give me
the information for which / so
earnestly yearned? They who
please may think so and say so; but
| feel that it would be wicked in
me to do either. Dear reader, you
have my simple story-interpret it
as may seem best to yourselves"

later in the park but that one was

Which of the Two Games Calls For the
Greater Couraee7
A group of former varsity football
players We're arguing the interesting
point as to which requires more nerve
on the part of northumberland or
baseball. One would think there would
not be a dissenting voice to the opin-
ion that the gridiron sport requires FAR
more nerve Yet there were several
who strenuously debated this conten-
ton, holding that the mental strain
was greater upon the man who plays
baseball
Il played varsity baseball and varsity
football" said one man Of the group,
land | want to tell you that the only
time | ever felt inward tremors was
when | stood at the plate facing a
pitcher who had fast ball. There Is
something about the situation-or al
ways was to me-which made me feel
my helplessness, made me feel at the
mercy of the pitcher. or rather at the
mercy of his possible bad aim. In foot
ball you were fighting against one man
and he had nothing to throw at you"
Il felt the same way" chimed in a
former varsity guard. when l came
from prep school | had reputation as
pitcher. but | never tried for the
team because l hadn't the nerve to
face the shoots of varsity twirlers."
The curious thing is that this man in
his day was one of the most daring and
resourceful football players in the
game.-Ph Philadelphia Ledger.

DOG or OK.

W. B. Wright says: "A dog drinking
is the emblem of alertness. Watch him.
If leaf rustles he sees it and starts.
Sights and sounds which elude your
powers of observation arrest his. The
most conspicuous distinction between
the dog and the OK at water is this:
The OK never heeds his master until
his thirst is Quenched; the dog never
heeds his thirst till his master is obey
ed. l have seen hound painting with
heat, his black lips baked, his tongue
cracked, dart toward the cool spring.
But his masters whistle arrests him
at the brink. and he darts back with
out drop. | have watched drovers
call, pound, goad oxen at the ford. but
the beasts would not bulge until their
thirst was slaked. Both types you may
have seen among the recruits enlisted
in the army of the Lord. Christian

Drying Paint.


Paints dry better in free and equal
ly ventilated room than In a close,
warm one. In the use Of driers the
surface must be taken into account
Copper and oak are particularly anti
drying. Pine and cast iron are par
usually stronger in odor than slow
drying. The obnoxious smell of paint
may be changed into comparatively
pleasant one by the addition of few
drops of spike lavender. which will
also act as drier. In like manner
eau de cologne may be added TO spirit
varnishes and lacquers TO meet the
wishes of fastidIous people.-Pitts-

ANTIQUITY OF SEAL RINGS.
They Arc Mentioned In, the Bible and
Their Origin Is Unknown.

They Arc Mentioned In. the Bible and
Their Origin Is Unknown.
The origin of seals Is lost In the
shades Of antiquity. In Assyrian and
Babylonian ruins seals are still found,
and 1t Is certain that their use passed
from those countries to Greece and
Rome, to all European countries and
from England to America. Originally
they were set In rings.
The earliest references to them In
Biblical history Is found in Genesis
xxxvili, where it Is recorded that,
pending certain negotiations between
Judah and lamar, the widow of his
son, lamar demanded pledge and
Judah gave her his signet and other
belongings. And when Ahab. king OF
Israel, tried to buy Naboth's vineyard
and couldn't his wife Jezebel wrote
letters in Ahab's name and sealed
them with his seal"
In the book of Esther, chapter viii,
it is written that King Ahasuerus said
to Esther and Mordecai, Write ye
also for the Jews, as 1t nketn you, III
the kings name and seal 1t with the
kings ring, for the writing which Is
written in the kings name and sealed
with his ring may no man reverse"
Seals doubtless were used long be-
fore the stirring events described in
the quoted chapter of Genesis, but no
one took the trouble to write about
them. From the time of jeremiah to
William the Conqueror the pen was
practically unknown to king, noble or
peasant, so the seal was absolutely
necessary.-Kansas City Star.
