He was receiving the blessings Of
his parents before taking his

There were tears in every eye,
sadness on every face, and the

From Days of Civil War.
by COL. r. HI. HENRY

A small. unpretentious-looking
picture simply framed, hung in an
obscure corner of the Art Gallery
at the Worlds Fair at ST. Louis
in 1904, and attracted more atten-
tion than any painting in the
grand collection assembled in
that spacious building, by the
great artists from every country
of the world.
1t was entitled, Breaking the
Home Ties," and was a picture of
intense human interest, a soulful
painting, a poem of pathos on can
vass, a heart throb, that claimed

those who saw it were impelled to

was irresistible.

BOOKS AT CLARKE LIBRARY.

The Clarke Library is now exhibit
ing small collection of children's
books loaned by the Wikle Book
Store. The collection is supplement-
ed by graded lists, which lists will be
duplicated for any one wishing a
copy. There will be slips of paper
and pencils so that notes may be
made when books decided upon as
suitable for individual children.
This exhibition is a part of the
library's endeavor to aid in the selec-
ton of books for children's reading,
and besides the book exhibit and the
lists, the librarian will gladly assist
any one wishing to give books to
children at Christmas, Or who is in
anyway interested in guiding the
reading of any particular child or
children.
From now until Christmas the lib
rary will be open every morning from
nine until twelve, with the exception
of Friday morning. please note the
exception.) This extra opening time
is being arranged so that everyone
may have ample time and opportunity
to get suggestions as to the best book
to give a child for Christmas.
Books are the mental comrades of
children and the. powerful influence
they WELD for good or evil makes
their choice of vital Importance to
adults. For this reason Libraries
stand ready at all times, and partic-
ularly at the season of Christmas Civ
jng, to give any assistance in their
power, in the selection of the proper
books.

.DR. WIKLE WRITES Us
APPEALS TO WOMEN
He Does Not Like Appearance of
Our Little Park and Wants to
Have it Reclaimed.

Editor Marietta Journal
In the name of one of greatest
assets | make this appeal to the good
women of Marietta to make an effort
to reclaim our little park, once a gem,
now it lies helpless thing, the walks
running branches, while the terraces
are eroding and the grass that used
to vie with the blue skies is buried
beneath the rotting leaves.
This beautiful little spot, once the
pride Of mothers and children, is
more like waste place out on some
abandoned farm.
Since Marietta has no other park
or play ground for the hundreds of
children who have enjoyed the shade
of the friendly trees, and soft gravel
walks, are we going to let this golden
asset become place for the annual
visit of the martins?
would say for our mayor that he
is not lacking in sentiment and pride,
and l believe every tax payer in Ma
rietta would like to have him appeal
to his council for funds to put our
park above the water mark.
