Leather Breaches long Ago.

Judging from the present price OF
shoes and other leather articles, a
pair of leather breeches could not be
bought now days under one hundred
dollars. Yet in the eighteenth cen
fury, leather was worn by nearly
every workman. In England at that
time the farm hands and house SER
wants were clothed in leather. A
good pair of leather breeches was said
to pass from father to son as an heir
loom. Then a boy went to school
as well protected as an armored cruis-
err. The author of "Didisburye in
the As" offers some observations up
on these articles of common wear:
"The test of good pair was to try
if they would stand upright of them
selves when nobody was in them. If
they would do so, they were good,
strong stuff, and likely to last for
many years.
= "My father remembered prentice
lad coming to his father, whose fond
mother had provided him with such
pair, and they were the means of a
vast of fun in game that is un-
known in these days, that is. for the
boys to set the breeches upright and
then jump into them without touch
ing them with the hands.
alt was probably pair of such
leather breaches that the Windsor
boy was wearing when George III
asked him if he did not know that
the man before him was the King.
EYES, said the boy.
"Then why don't you go on your
knees and you might kiss the Kings
hand?' said the King.
"'Because I'll spoil my breeches,' ,"
replied the sturdy lad in leather.

BEAUTIFUL SERVICE
MEMORIAL DAY
Flowers, Flags, Songs and
REGULATIONS Do Honor
TO Dead Heroes.

The observance of Memorial
Day, Wednesday, May 80, by
Post So, G. A. R., was very sue
cessfully carried out. Attend
ance was good, and much inter-
est manifested.
At 10 O'Clock a special meeting
of the Post was held in the Town
Hall, which was attended by a.
bout 20 veterans from different
points in the valley.
At noon a bountiful repast was
spread in the Town Hall on tables
and all sat down to partake of an
excellent dinner. Old High
Cost of Living" was evidently
forgotten for the time, as the Ia
bles were loaded, and when all
had partaked there was still an
abundance. 1t was accompanied
by some excellent coffee.
After dinner the children with
flowers and flags, formed a line
and escorted the Post to Owen
cemetery where graves of de-
ceased comrades were decorated.
Returning to the Town Hall a
nice program was rendered by a
choir composed of Misses Nina
Randle, Nell Leland and Louise
Hill, Mesdames Sam Sherman,
Alma Bennett Harkins, and Err
nest Cross, Messrs. Chas. Curtis,
Walter Randle, E. R. Lewis and
W. C. Hill, with Joe Leland as
pianist. The following was the
program:
Song. America"
Prayer, Rev. 0. L. Smith
Song, Memorial Hymn"
Recitation, Joseph E. Darr, Jr.
Song, America, the Beautiful"
Reading, Mrs. j. E. Darr
Song, How Sleep the Brave"
Address, Rev. Sam McWilliams
Recitation and solg, Children
Rev. Smith
Song, Star Spangled Banner"
The address of Rev. Smith was
and we publish it else
where SO that our readers who
were not present may have the
pleasure of reading it. Rev.
McWilliams, of Dunlap, spoke
feelingly of the former COM
mander Of the Post, Maj. Thomas
H. Hill, who died Nov. 18, 1915,
and urged all to be ready when
the final summons shall come.
Mrs. j. E.'Darr, of Chattanooga,
gave an excellent reading. which
was much appreciated. Memoir
ial Day observance in Sequachee
does not seem quite complete
without the presence of Mrs.
Darr, as for many years she has
been a standby of the Post, and
her young son is following in her
footsteps. The recitation and
song by the children. while gotten
up hastily, was very good. The
participants were Vera Brewer,
May Fults, Evelyn Pryor, Willie
Barnett, Thelma Barnett, Helen
Pryor, Lillian Minor, BERTHE Mar
tin, Lily Sharpe, Mildred Curtis
and Glen Curtis, and at the close
Of the song, THE Red, White
and Blue, which they sang, they
carried bouquets and presented
them to the veterans. The sing
ng by the choir was good, and
he American Flag was held by
Master Joseph Darr and little
Misses Mildred Hill and Wilma
Lawson during the singing of
he Star Spangled Banner.
Thus closed the exercises of the
lay.

NO AGREEMENT Yet
ON ARMY MEASURE
UDDfcrecs May Report Today That
They Are Unable to- Reach
Agreement.
SENATE HOLDS OUT FOR
27-YEAR AGE LIMIT
Ii Likewise Wants Roosevelt toiun-
teer Army Provision TO BE Enacted.
Neither Side Willing to Compro-
mise Differences.

Washington. May 9.--The conferees
on the CONSUMPTION bill haggied
throughout today over their numerous
differences without coming to the
slightest likelihood of any agreement.
They may report TO the house and the
senate tomorrow that they are unable
to agree.
The points in controversy are the
same as heretofore. The senate is
holding out for it's provision for the
enlistment of an overseas force OF
four army divisions of volunteers in
addition TO the army of 100000 to be
recruited by CONSUMPTION. The senate
is also holding out that its maximum
age limitation of twenty-seven years
Is the more desirable in every way
than the house provision for maxi
mum of forty years
On the question of the four yolun-
teer divisions. the house conferees are
thus far unwilling to compromise. the
suggestion emanating from outside
sources that number of divisions OF
strictly volunteer troops might be re-
duced to two or even one division is
met by the house with the answer that
1t is the principle of CONSUMPTION and
universal service in opposition to the
volunteer system upon which they are
standing out.
Meanwhile, within the house itself
theFe-is a-eerta4H- amount shifting
on the point of the senate's proposed
volunteer force. 1t is asserted by
some of the leaders that although the
principle involved is important that IN
view OF the stupendous recruitment
tentatively effected by the Roosevelt
army organization this government
should accept this proposed army of
one or two hundred thousand men.
