A few evenings ago we were at the
home of stage villain and his wife.
Coffee and sandwiches were served and
fortune-telling games played. A good
time was had, and not once did he twist
his muStache. In the first place he
didn't have one and in the second place
he forgets his business when he leaves
the theater.
Among the unknowns who relieve us
of the seriousness of life, sometimes, are
the anonymous writers of parodieS on
wen-known songs. These songs are usu-
ally sung at get-togethers. Organtza-
tions use them to pep up members for a
drive
The song leader will dance about and
exclaim. Now. boys, let's sing number
six on the song sheet Shoot" Then the
gang will break into harmony, even
though it is not as close as it should
be. From one of these song sheets we
culled the following, sung to the tune of
Aud Lang Syne:"
"A smile is quite a funny thing

It's secret hiding place.

To see what smiles can do.

LITTLE BENNY
By LEE PAPE.

Everything gets to be a habit if you
do 1t often enough, such as never tawk-
ing to anybody or always tawking to
yourself If gerls smile about so times
a day for a few years to show their
teeth and hide their real dispositions,
all of sudden its habit and they
smile all the time their tawking after
every sentence, being fearse way to
be and fearser to watch.
The easiest time to start habits Is very
young. If you rock babies to sleep
once they will wunt to be rocked all
time, and when they get so big your
ashamed to rock them any more they
wont wunt to sleep at all and will stay
out dancing so late at night its almost
waist of time making their beds for
them.
When you are young it is hardship
to wash your neck and ears, but If you
do it anyways every day 1t gets to be
such a coed habit that you can do it
unconsciously and think about some
thing RELY agreeable at the same time,
thus making the time fly.
If you don't start reeding while you
are young, when you grow up you'll use
books to keep bookcases from looking
empty, and when you are finished the
newspaper you'll haff to play cards to
keep bizzy.
Most people have a habit of yelling
at old people because they are def, the
result being they yell at all old people
even if they are no defer than any
body elts. This proves you mite as we'll
act like others your own age because
you'll get treeted the same anyways.
Always try to eat less on ordnerry
occasions than your stummick would
axually hold if you forced it, and then
on special occasions 1t will reward you
by not getting sick.

army.

Doubtless there are many men OF this

have a distressing effect upon certain

mental workers choose quiet retreats
In the sequestered area Of his Con-

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 20, 1863.-Maj. Gen. George B.
Meade has been assigned by President
Lincoln to command the Army of the
Potomac, which is now between Wash
| ington and the Confederate Army of
Gen. Lee, which is operating in Western
Maryland and Pennsylvania. News of
| Gen. Meades appointment was given
out at Army headquarters here this
morning.
Gen. Meade has lately been in COM
| mand of the 5th Army Corps that made
! the gallant fight at Fredericksburg, Va,
December 13 last on the left OF the
! Union lines. He succeeded. it will be
remembered, in driving the enemy from
all their advanced positions and broke
through their lines, occupying the
heights they held He pierced their
lines completely and got in the presence
of their reserves, but for want of sup
port was obliged to yield the ground he
had gained. He distinguished himself
at the Battle of Mechanicsville, year
ago Saturday, and was wounded in that
affair.
Although Gen. Meade was born in
Spain, where his father was serving in
a diplomatic capacity, he is claimed as
a Washington boy, his early years hav-
ing been spent here in the fourth ward.
He is understood to have been gradu-
ate of Georgetown College about 1880.
According to GARDENERS Army Dictionary,
he was appointed to the Military Academy
at West Point from the District of Co
lumbia but according to Cullum's Army
Register, he was appointed from Penn
Sylvania. He became a brevet second
lieutenant, Sd Cavalry, July /. 1885: a
second lieutenant, December 81, 1885;
resigned october 26. 1886; reappointed
second lieutenant, Typographical En-
gineers, May 10, 1912; distinguished
himself in the Battle of Palo Alto, and
was breveted first lieutenant September
%, 1846.
He has a high reputation for ability
and thorough knowledge of his profess
sion. AS an engineer he stands in the
front rank of American Army officers.
The latest news from Western Mary
land indicates that the Union Army is
preparing for a battle with the Confed-
crates under Gen. Lee at any moment.
Exactly where it will be fought can, of
course only be a matter of conjecture.
It will probably be one of the bloodiest
battles of the war. and may be the
most important thus far in its results.

minated in the Battle of Waterloo men
commissioned to vital tasks were remiss.
To completely rout the Prussians 1t
was necessary that Marshal Ney should
seize Quatre Bias, thrusting wedge be-
tween the British and the Prussians, use
part of his force to engage the British
and send the remainder to fall on the
Prussians from the rear.
Ney was slow. The British beat him
to Quatre Bias and although the
Prussians were badly beaten at Ligny
they fell back upon Wavre and re-
formed. Napoleon was unable to at.

the 18th. Meantime, from Wavre,
