1917 Business Good

"Our business the past year was the best in the history of our store" said Miss Leah Schwabacher, manager of the Schwabacher Jewelry company in Bessemer, land while conditions were so good that we planned big business at Christmas the sales were far beyond our expectations and we could not wish to have a better year than 1917. Several years ago my father died and I was either forced to take charge of the business or self out so decided to enter the business world.
 "Since that time have watched the business conditions in Bessemer and found a steady increase in my busi- ness at the end of each year. This is not only true of the jewelry business but in all lines conditions are just as good and despite the many calls made on the public by conditions of the war, the people seem to have more money to spend and are more liberal in their purchases than ever before. The year 1917 has been a most prosperous one and 1t is hoped that 1918 will bring peace as well as pros- perity to our country"

bers. he was breveted second lieuten- ant in the First regiment of the Uni ted States infantry, which was then stationed in Texas. Here he remained for sometime until Indian hostilitfes carried him to the northwest, where he displayed considerable ability in handling the situation, and he was thus engaged until the outbreak of the Civil war, and on December 26, 1861, he was assigned to duty as chief commissary of the army of southern Missouri.
 At last, and most unexpectedly to him. the long-desired opportunity for active service occurred. On May 27, 1862. he was offered the command of regiment of cavalry, and his career as a leader in the army began, and it was at the battle of Corinth >that he saw his first engagement.
 In active service his advancement was rapid, and he was appointed d brigadier general of volunteers after the battle of Bonneville, July l, 1862, and was in command of the cavalry of the army of the Potomac when the surrender of Appomattox took place.
 Instead of returning north to join in the festivities following the end of the war. Sheridan and his cavalry proceeded south to the Texas border in anticipation of any trouble that might result through the revolution in Mexico which ended with the execu- tion of Emperor Maximilian
 Like most of the other generals re- maining in the service after the Civil war Sheridan spent number of years on the western frontier helping to quiet the hostile Indians then making trouble in that section. In work of this character he was chiefly engaged until his sudden death on August 5, 1888, at Nonquitt, Mass, where he had gone for his health. At the time was Gen. Phil H.

MARGOT OF ALsACE

Theodosia Garrison, in Everybody's Magazine. You laid your little white veil away.
 Margot- The veil of your first communion day, Seven long years ago The veil that covered your smooth, brown head When first you knelt for the holy bread. Think you again to wear it so. That little white veil of yours,
 Margot?" "Oh, twice again shall my veil be worn,
 Grand'mere- When the flags of France shall spring new born, Free to the sun and air: And raise in the arms of a million men Alsace shall come to her own again. Surely. that day I would be fair. Worthy of France and Alsace.
 Grand mere" But when again will you wear your
 Margot? And why do you blush who were so pale. Red as rose aglow?" "I shall wear it again when before the priest I take the bread of another feast. And a soldier of France shall raisx' it there For the kiss that he gives to his bride;
 Grand'mere-
 Grandmere."
