MAKING the Money Last.

Rosa Bonheur used TO say that her
youth was one of great poverty. Then
she would add some droll stories
about the family method of regulating
Its finance. The studio was Il collec-
.lon of odds and ends, and NJ. Bonheur
knew how to turn that disorder TO &c.
count When he received money for
his work he would take handful Of
coin and throw II Mt random about tho
room. Then In times Of stress, when
there was apparently not farthlng
left In the house. the entire family
would set to work searching In hooks
and corners. Sometimes they would
find Eve franc piece, and that warded

Dear Sir
AS the 10th of August, sacred to
every man with Bennington blood in
his veins, or love of country in his
heart, draws near, it occurs to me that
perhaps your readers might be inter
ested in the inclosed account of eel
ebration OF Bennington's great day
held in 1899, and have taken the lib
erty of sending it to you, as the part OF
at least one old Benningtonian in the
celebration OF the day. | am proud to
be able to claim Anthony Haswell,
who is mentioned in this report of that
day, as my grandfather, and have a
large collection of his writings and
accounts of his life.
You may be interested to know that
even out here in the beautiful Ozarks
of Missouri, we have also sacred
day which we celebrate in August, al
though our date is the 10th, and not
the 10th. Ten miles from our city
was fought on August 10th, 1861, the
battle of Wilson Creek, where bravo
General Nathaniel Lyon of Connect.
cut, was slain, together with more
than six hundred others from the
Union and Confederate armies.
Last year | had the honor OF max
ing an address on that battle ground,
at the annual celebration of that day.
! had in my audience many old veter-
ans from both sides who had fought
on that field. | assure you that those
old men mingled Rebel yells," and
Union cheers" at every patriotic ex-
preston in my talk, and today many of
their sons and grandsons are with our
troops on the Mexican boundary, true
il Is that:
Beneath one flag their sons march
side by side
And nevermore shall strife and hate
their gallant ranks divide"
Yours truly,
A. NJ IIaswell.

well known thruout the state. where q
host of friends are now mourning his re-
cent death. He drew together score OF
young music lovers and enthusiasts liv-
ing miles apart, but ever ready to brave
the weather and cheerfully endure disap-
pointment and inconvenience to meet
with their friend, adviser and teacher,
whose success was little short of mar
velous. He was present at the last meet
ing, the first Thursday in December.
1915, when Officers were elected, but ten
der and loving memories only remained
of the founder who passed into the Great
Unknown when Local No. 392 gathered
for its meeting on Thursday, January O,
1910. Carl Karston, president of the
Atlanta Federation of Musicians, was
present, and after installing the newly
elected Officers, impressed the member
ship with the duty they owe them. He
paid a splendid tribute to the memory
of Brother +. NJ. Card and expressed the
hope that Local No. 392 of Forest Park
might grow into a great and living mon
ument to the departed Journal

owed the lives OF several members OF

homes have been visited by the grim
reaper. As the bells were ringing for the
new year Mrs. Beck. beloved mother of
Ida and Amelia Beck, was summoned to
the reward that we know is earned by
good mother. On Sunday, January 1, the
call came to the home OF Sarah Fletcher
and deprived her also OF the fond mother,
whose passing is deeply felt by an aged
husband and son. She, too, had well
spent life to her credit. having been ~
years in the service of her Creator. On
Thursday, January 20, Mrs. Katherina
Kaiser was taken from her family OF
loved ones, leaving behind a husband,
three daughters and five sons, and one
grandson, Miss Mary Kaiser being a
member of Local No. l39. On Saturday,
January %. Edwin Cole departed this
life, leaving a widow and son to mourn
his passing. To all OF these the sincere
sympathy of Local No l39, United Car
