The sun nrosc in a cloudless sky, be taking the fair tiny it proved to be. Early in the morning the domiciles and places of business of our patriotic citizens were gaily decorated with Old Glory, while hnpny children were gathering from tho garden, lawn and woodland the fairest of nature's flowers, arranging them into bouquets and garlands to decorate the graves of the soldier dead, or to scatter upon tho waters "in memory of those who sleep beneath tho waves." On Sat urday, May 29th, the new markers had been placed on every soldiers grave in Tionesta adorned with tho flags. On the morning of the fine day above de scribed some of our comrades, among whom was Capt. D. S. Knox. 8. C. and James Johnston, Daniel Walters and Hon. It. Bruce Crawford went in car riages to German Hill, and decorated tho several graves at the Evangelical church near Starr, and those at St Bartholomew Lutheran church then returning before noon to join in the ceremonies hero. About 1 1 a. m. the Martial Band of En deavor arrived, and tho cars of the vet erans were cheered by the music so familiar to them in war times. Nothing is so inspiring as the old (ifo and drum, it tells of former days, and makes the Cast arise as in a vision or a dream. This and was under tho leadership of Com rade W. Emery Withercll, who was ably assisted by Henry Miller, the boss lifer, in these parts, Jerry Grove, Henry With ercll and Frank Deatty. who gave us good and appropriate music until the ceremonies at the cemetery and the Court House closed, in short they stayed by us. We were rejoiced to have with us the following squad of comrades from Hickory and Harmony who camo with the band: W.A.Burns, Esq., W. V. Siggius. Esq., Ira Barnes, Jonas Shunk W. E. Withercll. Ixsides some from oth er sections, among whom wasCnpt. Wm. MeCann, all of whom celebrated with us. At 12 o'clock sharp Comrades assembled at the W. R. Corps hall at assembly call, when and where a splendid dinner had been prepared nccording to program by the Corps. After an invocation by Rev. Bailey was given, an elegant dinner was served to the waiting comrades and oth ers invited. At 1:15 the Post formed in front of the Hall, with the W. R.C., and the children bearing flowers were arrang ed in line of march by Marshal Eden, who fell in just behind the band, the Corps going nex., and the Post and peo ple bringing up the rear,marching to that old inspiring army tunc, "Off She Goes." At the river bridge t tie children tacett up stream. Corps and Post countermarched and halted while the beautiful ceremony of strewing flowers on the waters in memory of our soldier dead was per formed, at close of which America was sung on the bridge, the assembley then countermarched to appropriate music by the band, and proceeded thence to Riv erside Cemetery where the ritualistic ser vices were performed in proper and de corous manner, Rev. Bailey taking the place of the Chaplain, C. A. Hill, who was unable on account of his health to act. The decorating of the graves, and the calling of the roll of the 31 dead comrades being over, assembly call was given and Post rallied on their colors and the whole procession marched to the Court House where they arrived at a lit tle before 2 o'clock. Adjt, Irwin read Deparmcnt order No. 10, and Lincoln's address at Gettysburg, after which the band played a dirge. Immediately fol lowing this the quartette consisting of Prof Gill, Rev. Bailey, Dr, Bovard and W. G. Wyman sang the benutiful ode of Longfellow "The Reaper and the Flow ers," which was much appreciated by all present, as it was rendered in a beauti ful and masterly manner. Next came one of the most memorable and striking features of the day, the presentation by 1). W. Clark. P. C, of the splendid oil painting of Capt. George Stow which his kind relatives so generously presented to the Post, and to be kept in the custody of Forest county. Com. Clark in a well tuned short address of presentation said in substance. In 1S01 a body of young men organized themselves into a com pany in response to the call of Lincoln and at Tionesta elected Capt. Daniel S. Knox as its captain, George Stow 1st. and himself 2nd Lieutenants, and were presented after their organization on Aug. 20, 1901, by the ladies of Tionesta with the old flag at present fittingly used to drape the splendid portrait of the hero, after whom our Post is named. That the regiment rendezvous at Erie, and reached Washington Oct. 2, 1801. 1 hat Capt. Knox was captain of the company until Dec. 1, -18112, when he resigned on account of ill health and was succeeded m commond on the field by the gallant Stow, he being the next officer in rank who continued to com mand tne company through nil its bat tles until ho fell a myrtar in freedoms cause on May 8, 1S64 at the battle of Laurel Hill, V a. Happening to be in Cincinnati the loving mother of Capt. Geo. Stow, called his attention to this picture, which was then being painted about finished, he was struck with its beauty and accuracy. That he learned of late with great delight that the few remaining members of the family were willing to surrender this valuable paint ing to tho Past, which numbers so many of his old comrades who revere his mem ory provided it could be safely taken care of That the Post through Adjt. Irwin presented a petition to the court, and Judge Rice made his order, which has been published, that the same go in to the oustody of the Commissioners. and that the painting be hung on the walls of the Court House. In conclud ing Com Clark read the following letter from the nearest relatives of Capt. Stow now living, generously donations tho picture to tne county through the Post, Capt George Stow Post 274, G. A. R., Tionesta, Pa. Commander: It affords us great pleasure to present to Capt George Blow rom, a portrait ot mm, wbom you have o honored, our brother, one of the mauy heroes who gave their lives for their country, Capt. George Stow a fatbor,Ham llton Stow, was one of the pioneers of Ve nango county andduring thegreat Civil War gave much nf bis means aud time for the cause of the Union and especially to the welfare of company G, 83d, Pa. Vols. Mr. Stow was very proud of this portrait of his son George, and wa know could he be con sulted, be would p more than pleased to bave It placed in your bands, it was paint ed by one of the greatest artiste In this coun try, Mr. C. T. Weber, whose work adorns the walls of the capitol at Washington, and of the State of Ohio at Columbus. We trust that you will accept it, and may it prove to be incentive for arousing patriotism in the bear ts of your children s children. Very Respectfully yours, Edgar D. Stow, Mrs. H. Hobart Stow, Mrs. Ida Stow Garllck. Cincinnati, Ohio, .May 17, 1U0U. He likewise read from a gilt plate attach ed to the picture these words: "Captain George Stow, Co. G, Kid, Regt. of the I'a. Vols., killed at the battle of Laural Hill, Virginia, May , INfil, aged 25 years. Por trait painted by C. T. Weber, Cincinnati, O. Comrades I now present the picture." Mrs. Suie M. Sliarpe, a niece of Capt. Stow, then unveiled the picture, which was greeted with the applause by his old comrades in anus and friends. Mr. M. A. Carringer, County solicitor, on behalf of the officials of Forest county received the same saying that it wits peculiarly fitting that the County of Forest where the hero passed his early days should possess this valued memorial. That al though aimost 00 years have passed since Capt. Stow so nobly bore his part, yet many of his friends who saw him ns children, and us young men and Indies cherish his memory. That the war and all connected with it has passed into history, most of thoso who participated in it have passed to tho great beyond, Tho 83d was eminently historic as a regiment, at Gettysburg they fought on and helped hold Littlo Round Top, while at Gainesvillo they went into battle with 500 men, and came out of it with only 200 fit for duty. We honor today not Stow alone hut his noble comrades, aome of whom survive. In conclusion then thanks Id the name of Forest county to the generous donors, to the comrades of the (J. A. R. who have made this presentation possible. We were next favored by a Isvorlte ode by the quartet, "Touting ou the Old Camp Ground." A C. Brown being then In troduced said lu part as follows: The soldier since the war has been an impor tant factor in the history of our country and he certainly was during the dreadful Civil war. The army was under provi dence tbe saviour of our republic aud we cannot too much honor the soldiers who participated lu that war. He then ably spoke ot our nation substantially as fol lows: Tbe Immensity of our country la bard to comprehend; it la estimated to contain ninety millions of souls; now our Hag floats on all seas, is revered at home and respected abroad; It proclaims liberty to tbe nations of the world. The soldier made our country what it is. Our coun try ws formed by patriots and has been defended and sustained by her loyal sol diery ever since. It was the love of lbs old Hag that saved our country; it teaches patriotism and proclaims freedom. Tbe war of 1801 was the most Important of modern limes, Great thouub was tbe sacrifice --think of It, the losses at Gettys burg alone on both aides were 41,000 In round numbers, equal for instance to tbe entire population of Warren and Koreet counties combined. Our soldiers whose memory we celebrate today and those who yet survive, have established a peace wbieh we as citizen of ibe republic must preserve. Commander Clark presented a portrait of Capt. Benj. Smith, wbo was also a captain in tbe same regiment, say ing there was no doubt bis friends would donate it to the county. The quartet leading, tbe audience joined in singing the national anthem, "America," alter which Rev. H, A. Bailey pronounced the benediction. Thus ended one ol tbe finest and most orderly celebrations Tio nesta ever witnessed. s, n, I. SUN DAT SKBVICKS, 8TOW FOST, O. A. R. Pursuant to General Order No. 9, the annual memorial service of the Post was held on May 30, at the M. E. church, at 11 a. iu. of said day. Many members nf (he U. A. R. veteraus, members nf tbe W. R. C, and a large congregation were present at this patriotic gathering. Tbe music rendered was excellent and consisted or appropriate odes and songs, among which was "The name iiymo ol tne riepuuiic," by Julia Ward Howe, aud "Tbe Star Spangled Runner." A beautiful aolo by Mrs. Josephine Sheasley of Klttannlug, Pa., was one of the musical features. Miss Olive Lanson ably presided at the piaoo. Rev. H. A. Bailey assisted in tbe services with his usual ability. The ex cellent sermon was delivered by Rev. W, O. Calhoun, the pastor of tbe church, wbo chose for bis text: "Remember tbe days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew tbee; thy elders, and they will tell thee." Deut. 32:7. lie said, that one ot the world's noblest heroes has finished bis life work: bis eye was not dim, his ear Dot dull, neither were bis shoulders stooped with the weight of years, and tbat be got an order from bis Great Com- mauder to enter Into tbe presence of bis superior officers, as soon as be could give his nnal instructions to tne great army lie bad led for forty years; gathers his staff officers and holds a final council; they review tbe vast army; ne plans tor the future, reviews the past and at be close of the day the old soldier and leader stands alone, a hero or tbe ages.

More than a generation ago tbe nation was In dan ger; men feared for the safety of ibe re public hated by kings and tyrants; tbe Hag bad been fired upou; tbe voice nf father Abraham bad been beard from Washington calling for 75,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion. The north land responded to tbat call and sent Its choicest gift, the flower of its young men. The speaker then spoke of tbe many bat tlefields that dot the map of our land, the national cemeteries where the beroes sleep, tbe monuments that mark these lustrous Holds. He exhorted tbe children to study tbe lessons of tbe war and teach patriotism both in tbe home and school. lie then spoae oi tois portion oi tne country.

Clapp; that a large proporlionate num ber of tbe veterans in this vicinity be longed to these organizations, while many recruits joined the 10th Pa. Res., the 84th, the 4lh Pa. Cav and some tbe 100th Pa., Known as "Tbe Roundheads." They were so called because it was said tbat a larger number of college students joined this regiment wbo afterwards became clergymen than any other in tbe service, among wbom be might mention Ibe Rev. B. F. Felt and Rev. J. R. Rankin, well and favorably known In this vicinity. Tbat the schools should teach the value of freedom; tbat it la a boon, but tbat It by no means Implies license; that the finest people today are tbe most law abiding. His tribute to Gen. McClellan, who so efficiently drill d tbe raw soldiers who were rushed to tbe Iron', in those dark days, was most excellent, and showed him to be a good student of the history ol the Civil war. He paid a blub tribute to tbe veterans when be said that tbe memories of the past made them tbe friends of good order and peace. This is a meagre and incomplete outline ot this appropriate sermon, He finally said In effect that tbey are and bave been nood citizens, and exhorted them to continue to love God and their native land. s.D i.

J. G. Bromley, Did the Oeat "rie Knew. Oeordle Horn was a character well known uinong Hu- country foil; of the Scotch highlands twenty-tlve years ugo. lie belonged to n class milter hard to classify, for be was neither a tramp nor n farm hand, although frequently following the habits of lioili. 'Wan dering from farm to farm, the greater part of the time he was kindly treated and hospitably entertained generally. While he was n man of unusual strength, he was mentally weak and exceedingly lady. "lie's a gie cute chlel, though alow In the uptaek-' (understanding), was the way a good many described him. One day he arrived at his friend the doctor's and complained of a severe pain lu bis breast. The Urn-tor handed him u plaster, with insi nut ions to put It on his chest without delay. Oeordle gave 111 in one of his knowing looks and took his departure. The doctor met hi in a few days later and lui.ulred how he was feeling now. Geordie re plied, "Xae better." "Did you do ns I told you with the plaster?" the doctor went ou. "Weel, no, not exactly. I done the best I could. I didn't have a chest, sue I stuck It on my bandbox" (hat box). An Expensive Dollar. Not long ago In this town n kind friend of the family gave one of the kids a dollar. Of course It was too much to let the kid get out and spend for candy and gum, so It wn.s reli giously put up on the sideboard or some other safe place to he kept Just for what the deponent saltli not. In about a week the Juvenile owner of the big round coin remarked at the breakfast table, "I'tipa, mamma spent my dollar yesterday." The head of the house took the hint and fished up another dollar, which, like Its prede cessor, was placed In a good safe place to keep. During the next month by a careful ly tabulated record which he kept on his cuff he repaid this elusive dollar Just thirteen times. So at the end of the month you will not be surprised to learn thnt our friend sent the donor of the original dollar this curt note: Dear Sir Inclosed you will find a check for $1. It's the dollar you gnve our younKBter. I return It simply to avoid bankruptcy. Already It has cost me some where between fifteen anil twenty. Lnnuih (Mo.) Democrat. A Doubtful Bag. .

Tlave yon any dollar fish here?" a woman asked of one of the attendants at the nqunrlum. While the question may seem curi ous, It was really very simple, for the dollar fish Is only n young moonflsh. The moontlsh Is n curious but beau tiful creature, almost round lu nhape and extremely thin and having the loveliest of pearly sides. It awlms on edge, so that It always presents Its sides of pearl to view. It takes lfi name from Its shnpe and because, further, In color It suggests tho silvery moon. Young moonflsh of the size of n standard silver dollar and they are scarcely any thicker are called dollar fishes because of their resemblance to that coin In size and shape and color, and the woman mnktng the Inquiry about dollar fishes was duly Informed that there was none In the tanks nt the present time, but that they did have them occasionally. New Tork Sun. Three Sabbaths Each Week In Tangier. Morocco Is a country of many Sab baths. The tlrst three days I spent In Tangier were nil Sabbaths. Arriving on n Thursday night, the next day was Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath, which was followed by the Jewish Sabbath the Hebrew element In Tan gier Is considerable nnd strict In re ligious observance and that In turn by tho Christian Sunday. Subsequent comparison, however, revealed little difference between any days of the week. On the Mohammedan Sabbath a black flag Is hoisted on the minarets at the prayer of dawn, Instead of tho white flag thnt announces the time of devotions on other days. It remains tip nntil the middle of the forenoon, by which time everybody Is supposed to have found out what day It Is. New York Tost. The Word "Charlatan." "Charlatan," says a writer In the London Chronicle, "Is companion to 'quack' In our vocabulary, and of this word the origin Is certainly Italian. It Is 'elarlatano,' merely a chatterer, and describes the traveling doctor In his cart who used to offer In nn over whelming torrent of talk his pills to villagers In the market place. He was a dentist as well ns a physician and wrenched out tho tooth In public. The genus Is not yet entirely extinct." A Strong Pull, Two men were having an argument ns to tlvolr respective strengths.

"I get n boat every morning nnd pull up the river."
