Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named an honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- cial patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in t South Carolina regiment and in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early fin the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of tho works. Jump- ing from one of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them to a staff and held them in position under hot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this commission was offered him but ne declined it through
 1istrust of his qualifications. On an- other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton attacked a British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty is named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and central square in Savannah help to .perpetuate Jas per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the war.

Humorino People Isn't Pleasant.

"Humoring a man" sounds like pleasant and comfortable thing, but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the money, it does not seem very fiattering 70 the humorer or the humoree, says writer m the Woman's Home Companion. And what a lamentable sight is that of the humoree, what deep inequality it implies and what an absence of any real respect O. understanding between two people in whose lives humoring is part of the daily routine! When the one to be hunored is woman it may mean that man has been forced Into the craven part of doing anything Cor the sake of peace. There are few concessions some men will not make 70 avoid a domestic storm. Some un fortunate men there are who even give up vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation, and even their avn individualities in this unworthy cause.

What War Does.

For those who go to war the victory is not always to the strong nor tho race to the swift. One of the seeming ly paradoxical things taught by the conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost uni- formly developed into tough and reli- able soldiers, often more so than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many man who had been timid and considered himself a coward was in reality braver than the swashhuckler who had sneered at him back home. Men who have been disgraceful fail- ures in civil life have been converted in the fire of war into leaders of high ability.
