TOLD AT THE GRAVE.
A STOUT FOR MEMORIAL DAY.
Copyright, I KG, by American Press Asaoohv
tlon.l T THE base of
a mountain spur
in northern Ar
kansas is a grave.
There is an air of
subdued romance
about the place,
an Indescribable
poinetblng that
breathes a hal
lowed sadness.
The couttlry is of
old but thin
settlement. JJp
the narrow vitl
leys the ferns are
rank, and on tho
hillsides bellow
ered vines cling
to the ragged
trees. The grave is under a willow that
shades an open Space. It is the only
willow in the neighborhood. Once
every year since tho war a man and a
woman have come from the north to dec
orate this lone grave. At first the
woman, bright eyed and springy of step,'
was exceedingly handsome, but latterly
time had ceased to be playful with her.
The man was sturdy and of sober mien.
lie looked as if Ins lire had always
held n secret suffering. This rnau and
this woman have rather a unique his
tory. At the time of the breaking out of the
w&r John and Henry Archer, brothers
so nearly alike that they were often
taken for twins, lived in Lake county,
His. John was engaged to marry Tress
Pryor, and the day for the wedding was
appointed, bat before the time came a
drum beat, and sturdy young fellows
mustered on thu grass.
It was evening, and Tress Pryor was
standing on the veranda. John rode up,
sprang off his horse and with a new ac
cent In his manner a peculiar bearing
came up tho walk.
"Tress," he said, "did you see the men
marching?"
"Yes."
"Do yon know what it meansr
"They say it means war," sho'an
swered, "It means more than that, Tress. It
means that you-are to marry a hero:"
"I don't know that I understand you.'''
He laughed. "Are you so dull, little
sweetheart? It means that I am going
to the war."
"It means nothing of the sort," some
one exclaimed, and John, wheeling
about, saw his brother Henry standing
near.
"What's the trouble with you, Henry?"
"There's no trouble with me. I am
simply sensible, aud yon must not lie
foolish." He pointed to the girl. "Vhere
is your present duty. I am going to the
war. Yon are going to stay here, and
after awhile if we neod you I will send
for you."
"Well, now, this is a pretty come off,"
John doclarod. "You would make a
hero of yonrsolf and a drudge of me.
Yon are not engaged to be married and
are therefore a patriot. I am in love and
am consequently a coward. Tress, you
needn't say a word. I am going to tb
war."
"I haven't said anything," the girl re
plied. "Good, and it means that you give
your consent."
"It means that you must do what you
consider your duty."
"You ore n brave girl. Tress."
"If cot, I thouldn'tbe worthy of you,
John."
"That sounds very weU," sold Henry,
"but without common tint bravery is
but an aimless piece of foolishness.
On soldier fiom our small family, I
should think, Is enough to prove our loy
alty to the government."
"Henry, you noedn't say a word. I'm
going to tbo war."
The next day John and Henry were
mustered into the service, and it was
not long before thoy were under fire.
One day in a skirmish n t far from
Fayetteville, Ark., Juhn wa shot while
standing under a willow tree. He was
to severely wounded that it wiw thought
he could Jive but a few hours, but when
the next morning hod come he snowed
signs of improvement. He was taken to
the hospital, aud his brother Henry was
detailed to attend lutu uutii au advance
snould be ordered. One day there came
to the hospital a young woman from
Kentucky. Kb had been regarded as
a bells in the bin grew ountry, but
she'.gavo up society and went south to
sun wounded soldtars. This young
woman -took spedal interest in John
Archer. She mad a roroauoe of her
duty, and at times when the woended
man sattaad brighter than usual she
would sit near hi cot and read poetry
to him. But upon this Henry began to
look with disapproval, and one when
the girl had gone to fetch another book
ha said to his brother: .,t
"I don't think mat's right, John."
"Don't think w'.at's rlit "
"Why, having tl.at mil i . .id love verses
to you."
"(she's reasli , i r- If as u.o. u us
she Is to iua."
don't ki . in.tr u t,u '
"Ido."
"Well, but . - .' ir gi.i, and
ill
to mcT"
"She doesn't know tbat you are
weanded. 1 haven't bad the heart to
Ml her."
"Hush; here conies Miss Bush."
lleiiry withdrew, but sonie one spoko
to him, and he halted within hearing dis
tance of his brother's cot
"1 didn't suppose you were so fond of
poetry," said Miss Bush, speaking to
John,
"I wasn't until 1 heard you read It."
"Oh, that's a compliment surely) hut,
tell mo, since you acknowledge thnt 1
have pointed out tho beauty of" She
hesitated,
"Tell you whatr
"Oh, nothing."
"But what were you going to say!"
"Something hardly proper, I fear."
"Tell me," he pleaded.
"Oh I don't suppose that It amounts
to anything. I was simply going to ask
if there had not been'tt time when some
girl stirred a poetlo emotion In your
heart."
A few moments elapsed before he re
plied, "I worked so hard when I was
at home that I had but little time for"
"For love!" she asked.
He nervously fumbled with tho covers
of the bed, and gently she arranged the
pillow for him.
"Near our place," said he, "there is a
girl that I've known a long time. I've
known her about all her life, I guess,"
"What about hert"
"Woll, I told her that she should
marry a horo. You see, I thought I'd go
home covered with glory."
"Oh, you ure engagedJto her,"
"Yes, In a way."
"In a way! Why, what a funny sort
of an engagement that must be! Shall
t read now?'
"If you please."
After returning homo it was some
time before Henry had tho courage to
call on Tress Pryor. But one evening
he went to see her. As he entered the
gate he saw her standing on the spot
where she had stood when John came
dashing np to tell her that be was going
to tho war She reached out and took
his hands, and for a time neither of them
(poke,

"And for mo," she said.
"Y-e-s. He lay n long time In the hos
pital, and we thought he was going to
get well, bmt a sudden change' came, and
he died. He begged to be buried under
the tree where he fell, and we buried
him there."
"But did he send no word to me?"
"Oh, yes, he talked about youTrreat
deal. He was brave, and if he had come
back you would have married a hero."
And It was jueury Archer and Tress
Pryor who went every year to deoprate
the grave under the willow. They be
came well known in the neighborhood,
and school children used to climb high
up the mountain side and get strange

would get oil the train at the milk sta

Ono time when he come she said to
him:
"It doesn't look right to drag you
away frpm your business every year.
My time, you know, doesn t amount to
anything."
'Mine doesn't amount to so very
much." he answerod; "and besides it lsn
great pleasure to go there."
"Yes, it is. But tell me, lienry, why
Is It you have never married?"
'Oh, I don't know. Because there
have been so many divorces, I suppose."

looking him full in the eye.

HE HAD SEIZED HER HAKDS.
We'll," ho replied, avoiding her caie.
"If that Isn't tho reason I don't know
what it is. Perhaps I had a cause a
good while ago."
"And you have forgotten what it
was," she said, laughing, but in her
laugh there was more of sadness than of
mirth. After a tlmo she asked, "Do you
think a man's lovo is as constant as a
woman's?"
"Not always, but sometimes," he an
swered.
'But do you believe tli.it a man or a
woman can love twice with equal devo
tion?"
"I don't know how it may be with
others," he answered, "but I could never
love but once." '
"Ob, you have been in love, then, have
you?"
"Tomorrow we start for the grave,"
he sold.
"Yes, but you have not answered my
question."
"I will answer it at the grave."
It was tho 80th of last May, Henry
and Tress sat under the willow. An
other generation of school children had
brought violets from wild places and had
gathered blossoms on the mountain side.
The grave was ablare with red roses,
white dogwood blossoms and bluebells.
The sun was low. Tho cows, ringing
their bells, vers golpg home. Henry
told a story which so often he had re
lated: "The skirmish was sharp, almost a
battle, and there was danger everywhere,
but John was too brave to stand behind
the tree. I was not far away, and the
bullets were bussing thicker than bum
blebees In ou,r meadow, but someliow I
was not afraid of beiug hit my mind
was centered on John. What difference
could it have made it I had been shot?"
"Don't talk that way," she inter
rupted.
"But why should I have cared for my
self? There was no one at home waiting
for me to come back a hero." He paused
for a few moments. "An Increase in the
firing to the left caused me to turn In that
direction, and when 1 looked back John
was down."
"You have never pointed out the place
wnere toe Hospital stood, sbe said.
He was silent for a time. "I don't like
to think of the hospital."
"Why?" she twkad.
"Oh, on account of woman!"
"Yob have answered me at the n-avs."
sue said, looking away. "You were la
love with her.
"No, I wasn't, Tress."
"Yes, ou were."

wnat you mean, now could she be my

"She loved John."
"Oh, and is that nil?"
"AU," he repeated. "Isn't that
enough?"
"To have made her my enemy? No."
"But but it's got.tocomo now, John
loved her."
"How do you know?" She was bo
quiet that he was surprised at her.
"I might as well tell you all now.
Here." He took from his pocket an old
and faded letter. "He told mo to give
you this, but I hadn't the heart Head
it."
The letter was brief. It was the break
ing of an engagement. She read the let
ter and quietly handed it back to him.
He gazed at her in astonishment.
"Tress," he cried, "on his deathbed
he married that woman." She did not
answer.
"I say he married her."
"Well?"
"Is It possible? Tress, I ought to have
told you ought to have given you the
letter but I thought you worshiped
him. And why have you decorated his
grave all these years?"
"Because he was your brother."
"Whatl I I don't"
"Henry, oh, how stupid you have been,
you"
She did not complete the sentence. He
had seized her hands. "Merciful heaven,
girl, I have always loved youl"
"And, precious, I never loved John, be
cause I loved you, but I was afraid you
would despise me if I were not truo to
his memory. You engaged me to him. I
don't know how, but you did." '
The-sun was down, and the muslo of
tho cowbells was far nway.

AN OLD CAMP MINSTREL.
lis Vlajea Simple Melodies For Grant and
Sherman
One of the attaches of the North Da
kota senate, house at Bismarck is an old
colored man named Blakely Durant.
His war history was made under the
camp sobriquets of "Blake" and "Old
Shady," and the last mentioned was
given to him on account of a song by
that title, which he often sang at the
headquarters of the Army of the Tennes
see. Grant, Sherman, AfcPherson and
other generals of the western army were
entertained by the simple melodies of
tjie musical darky, wtio accompanied his
sofijts by twanging the guitar, which he
handlAl skUliully.
"old bhadt."
"Old Shady" was'the favorite piece of
Qeneral Qrant, and he called for it
whenever he spent the evening at Mc
pherson's oampflre, yhere Blake was
employed as a caterer for the mess.
The song on the lips of a real contra
band In the bivouaos of the liberating
army was particularly appropriate. It
ran a follows:
Oh. yah. yah. darkles, come laugh with ms.

Oh, X got a wife, and we got a baby

Comln, comln? Hall, mighty dayl
Blake, or "Old Shady," as he was best
known, joined the army 'as cook for the
officers of the Seventy-first Ohio regi
ment and was on the .field at Shlloh.
He afterward shipped on the steamer
Magnolia, which was used as transport
for rant's headquarters at the opening
of the Yicksburg campaign. During
that time "Old Shady" came to the
notice of the commander, and be en
gaged him as cook; but, true to his
vagrant nature, the darky asked for
transportation home on a brief visit as
a bonus and failed to report back for
duty at the end of his furlough. Sub
sequently he fell in with the steward of
McPherson's mess, was employed as
cook for a time and then became chief
caterer,
"Old Bhady's" song made a hit by rea
son of the patronage of the generals and
was taken up by the Lombard brothers,
who managed a band of singers that of
ten entertained the soldiers In their
samps during the winter season. The
Lombards learned the song at McPher
son's quarters, where the colored min
strel ssng it for them over and over until
they knew it by heart. Finally it became
popular campaign song and had its
day with "Suwane River." "Ole Ylr
ginny," "John Brown's Body" and other
sirs appealing to the sentiment of the
hour.

A GREAT UPRISING.
Tile Burprlalng Material and Moral
Strength of the Loyal States In 1801.
As tho years roll by we get a proper
perspective of the civil war, and ns we
have leisure and opportunity to compare
it with other wars we realize the im
portance of one fact too often over
looked. In our impatience and criticism
in 1861-8 we forgot that no war of
modern timea had been waged by any
nation with rulers so little prepared by
experience. Tho soldiers of the Union
in 1801 were absolutely new to tho art of
war, and by an extraordinary combina
tion of cirenmstaucos the civil rulers
were at the same time almost devoid of
experience in practical administration.
The Republican party was led by very
new men, whose almost entire experience
had been in political opposition. They
were indeed ardent patriots, but so far
as experience In governing went they
were in 1601 just like passengers who
might suddenly be called to take charge
of a ship going to pieces beneath their
feet in a storm which made thrice sea
Boned mariners pale.
Suddenly they were called upon to
deal with the most embarrassing com
plications in diplomacy, the most diffi
cult problems in finance, the most sub
tle and complex issues in constitutional
law, and to meet demands for military
purposes which would have Btaggered
the most powerful monarchies in Eu
rope. Russia, Austria, England and
France hud in turn owned their inca
pacity to suddenly mobilize a quarter of
a million men. The United States, which
had but 10,000 men in its regular army
in April, 1881, had before the frosts of
autumn fell nearly 700,000 men armed
and equipped and in camp or on the
march.
And with what success? Comparisons
are in this case indeed eloquent. Qreat
Britain's administrative system confess
edly broke down in supplying less than
60,000 men in the Crimea. In the win
ter of 1861 the Washington administra
tion supplied 600,000 men, scattered
along a line of 2,500 miles from the
mouth of the Potomoo to New Mexico.
Before the war a revenue of $60,000,000
a year alarmed the natl i. In a few
months Secretary Chase had to raise
1600,000,000 a year, and soon had to
double that.
In naval warfare the Americans of
April, 1861,- were as children, yet in
eight months they had established a
naval blockade tho most thorough in
history, and In eight more their rams,
monitors and other ironclads had rev
olutionized naval warfare.
Tho energy of the north was indeed
wonderful, its reserve of strength vastly
greater than itself suspected. To quote
a western byword, "We ached with
strength," No country In the world was
ever stronger for war purposes than were
the adhering states in 1861.
And back of all the material resources
were the soul, the moral vigor, the fierce
and high resolve that the time had come
to settle the great issue onco for all.
Only twice in all history has there
been anything at all approaching it
the uprisings of Holland against Spain,
and of France in her early revolutionary
era. Time, instead of lessening, height
ens our appreciation of that great and
truly notional movement The perspec
tive of SO odd years gives us a more in
spiring view of the great uprising of the
north. J. II, Beadle.
Thought. For the llenr. '
To get away from the blood and en
mity of the struggle is the first effort of
patriots recovering from war. To com
memorate the virtue and heroism of the
army is to ennoble those traits in men
by which nations are molded and up
held. "COMllTJNICATrD,"

Your Painter
has often was'ed time and material in
trying to obtain a shade of color, and
has even resorted to the use of ready
mixed paints, the Ingredients of which
he knew nothing, because of the diffi
culty in making a shade of color with
white lead. This waste can be avoided
by the use of National Lead Company's
Pure White Lead
Tinting Colors
These tints are a combination of per
fectly pure colors, put up In small cans,
and prepared so that one pound will
tint 25 pounds of Strictly Pure White
Lead to the shade shown on the can.
By this means you will have the best
paint in the world, because made of
the best materials
Strictly Pure
White Lead
and pure colors. Insist on having one
of the brands of white lead that are
standard,' manufactured by the "Old
.Dutch" process, and known to be
strictly pure :
"Atlantic" "Bradley"
" Brooklyn " " Jewett "
"Ulster"
Thete brands or Strictly Pure White Lean
and National Lead Co.'a Pure White Lead
Tint I nff Color are for tale by the moit re
liable dealere In paints everywhere.
If you ate eoine to paint, It wilt pay yonv
to send to vs for- a book containing informa
tion that may save you many a dollar: It will
