3fc&ST OH; Tear was tfitf tfoo you gauv ; H "nmu footsteps hctv shaft Irvad Jfw hc-i baqc of your grauc ftnt tfje Elation oiws WHEN Undo John For sythe sold his little farm and came to live with his widowed sUter In Ccdar vllle, Olive, the latter'a daughter, was not partic ularly pleased. He was a tall, thin old man, with faded, kindly eyes and a shy manner that ought to have touched her young heart. But Olive was fond of style and full of foolish pride, and the worn old man, Hitting in the easy chair day by day, did not, to her mind, improve the appearance of the family circle. He liked old-fashioned things to eat, too, "which Mrs. Stanley, his sister, took pleasure In providing, but which were Dot to Olive's taste. She did not take pains either to entertain her uncle or to be agreeable, and if a certain pair of dim, old eyes regarded her many times wistfuly, she gave them mall heed. Once, as the strains of her violin floated out upon the air, Uncle John tiptoed in. He had been sitting alone in the twilight, so full of memories. "Olive," he said, gently, "did you ever play, 'Tenting on the Old Camp Ground?" " Olive looked up. "No," she replied shortly. , "Or, 'Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching?' " went on the wistful tone. "No," replied Olive, impatiently. "I don't know any of those old songs, or care to." "It's a pity," replied Uncle John, gently; "you would, perhaps, if you realized what those old songs meant. I always remember how they helped us over the long, hard marches and the still watches of the night. Man and many a time we've sung 'em, not knowing whether another day's sun would set for us or not. It did not for a good many of my bravo com rades poor, poor fellows!" There was a Q. A. R. post In the little town, and it was not long be fore Uncle John found his way to it. He never missed a meeting, never for got the ovenlng It occurred, and by and by the old soldiers of the town fell Into the habit of occasionally dropping in to visit with Undo John at his sister's home. "Mother, there are old Captain Pol lock and Mr. Qage coming up the steps," Olive irritably announced one evening. "Well, what of It?" smilingly asked her mother. John? It U Indeed pathetic to see how ho loves you, and yet you pay him so Uttlo attention." Decoration Day was drawing near, and a celebration was being planned to take place at the town hall. There wore to be speeches and singing, and a famous speaker was coming up from the nearby city to address the old soldiers. Uncle John was up early that morning. He was to march In the parade with the rest of the Post, and seats were to be reserved for them In the hall. "Olive, you must go," urgod her mother at the last moment, and final ly, reluctantly enough, Olive consent ed. But as she took a seat with her mother In the hall, festooned with its flags, Its bunting, Its flowers, a Uttlo quiver of patriotism swept over her for the first time. Memorial Day did mean something, and when, in a few moments, the old soldiers filed in, most of them old men with white hair and trembling steps, a tear shone on her long lashes, for Olive was not a wilful girl, only a very thoughtless one. After the singing and the re peating of Lincoln's speech at Gettys burg, the speaker arose, an erect man with a keenly Intellectual face full of force and strength. He began with a tribute to the gray-haired veterans before him; told how, when a small boy, he first became a patriot by lis-' tening to a one-armed soldier In the city hall of Boston give tho hUtory of the different flags gathered there and the battles they had been In. He spoke of Lincoln, that tall, plain, an gulnr man, who, at the firing of tho guns at Fort Sumter, took the posi tion he did. "Has it ever occurred to you," he went on, "that Lincoln might have acted a little too hastily or a little too late? But no; the psychological moment came. He seized It, and tho war went on to a victorious close." He spoke of Orant, Sheridan, Sherman and then he paused a moment. "May I ask," he added, "If there is anyone here who was In that march to the sea that famous, memorable march, now passed Into history?" Olive sat still. She wished some one of those old veterans sitting near had been there. And then, in the hush and stillness, someone arose. It was Uncle John, old and bent and feeble, but with a faint flush upon his withered cheeks. "Ah!" cried the spenker. "I con gratulate this Post." And then In the twinkling of an eye, handkerchiefs waved and hands clapped enthusiastically. It was all over In a minute, but how everyone enjoyed It! And as Uncle John sat down, lo! the years had rolled back. YOUNGEST OF SOLDIERS. According to Loaning, the histor ian, the distinction of having been the youngest soldier that ever bore arms In battle probably belongs to Colonel John Lincoln Clem, assistant quartermaster-general. United States Army, who Is at present stationed at San Francisco. Colonel Clem en listed In the Union Army as a drum mer boy In May, 18(11, before he had COLONEL JOHN L. CLEM, U. S. A., As Ho Appeared When Made B Sergeant in the Union Army at the Age of Twelve. Given reached the age of ten years. He served thereafter to the end of 'the Civil War, under Generals Grant, Rosecrans and Thomas, and took an active part In many important battles.

Bishop Fallowi Hat a Remedy to Unite Esttaiged Wives and Hutbandt. I NEWS OF PENNSYLVANIA t ST A 'LATERE GENERATION m Edith Do 0oJ Laskoy We stand beside the road nnd wait. Expectant for a sign, Till round tho distant bentl they come, A proud though faltering line. We linger in the wayside grass, Drenched with the early dew, SHAW MEMORIAL, BOSTON, Bishop Samuel Fallows, of the Re formed Episcopal Church, who found ed Christian Psychology, has taken another plunge Into the occult. He announces a remedytounlte estranged husbands and wives and kill off the divorce evils. It Is to be done by suggestion and auto-suggestion. He told all about It In an address on the "Psychology of Doubt." The Bischop declared he had used the method successfully. He also gave an Instance in which It had been used by a Chicago lawyer to prevent a divorce between a man and wife. To begin with, when a man or woman desires to win back his or her mate, the mind must be kept in a receptive condition. The Bishop continues: "One cannot believe unless he puts himself In the position to believe; one cannot love unless one puts him self in the position to love; one can not continue to love unless one wills to continue to love. Of course, wo cannot will to love and then love, or will to believe and then believe. "What the will can do 1b to create by auto-suggestion a will In this sub consciousness to continue in love or to believe. This I make use of in my efforts to reunite people who have entered Into the holy bonds of matri mony and who think that they have ceased to love each other. I have never before made public what I say In these private conversations, but I will do so to-night to illustrate my point. "The first thing to do when one of these persons comes to mo thinking that he or she has ceased to love Is to set the will In operation to bring to the sub-consciousness a consclousnes; of the past. It Is idle to say, 'You must love one nnothor.' No amount of will can bring that about; but the will can summon recollection. "I say to the troubled one, If a woman, 'Go back over your whole life. Go back and reflect on the time that you were being wooed and won. Did you take a great magnifying glass then to look for faults? Were you happier than now? They say that love Is blind, but this is to be taken in a limited sense as blind to faults. Nothing In the whole world Is moro keen sighted to see good qualities. You are blind to the good and taking a magnifying glass to the faults. Go back into the past and think of the way you sacrificed and tolled to make the home. Recall the good times you have had together.' "In this way Is created by auto suggestion the will to continue in love, which may prove more power ful than the false belief that they cannot love. "This same method can bring about marriage." Bishop Fallows concluded with :hese epigrams: "Love once and you must love al ways. Love cannot be killed once It Is instilled. There is no earthly power that can make two people fall In love with each other. If two peo ple really love each other once that love can always be revived. Deep In their hearts they will always love ono another. Divorces are but tho 'Umaxes of half-hearted battles.' HA K THEFT growing. Pittsburg (Special). Receiver Robert Lyons, of the Allegheny Na tional Bank, while Jim fairly started In the examination of the affairs of the bank, Is of the opinion that the shortage will be larger than the amount charged against William Montgomery, the former cashier, but is not prepared to My Just what the amount will be. Despite the fact that a statement of the affairs of the bank has been concealed from the public, some in side facts were disclosed showing the embezzelment to have been the most complete cleaning out of an institu tion in the history of bank scandals in this State, or probably In this country. The facts show that after every pofolblo asset of the bank hns been exhausted, including the building, Its contents, stocks, collateral, etc., there wlli still be a deficit of more thau $6.. J, 000. By assessing all stock holders 100 per cent., according to the individual liability act, this amount can be reduced by about one-half, leaving $300,000 to be sup plied by the bondsmen. This means an assessment on the latter of about 15 per cent. Although It Is admitted that a number of the bondsmen and stock holders will be driven to the wall and left penniless, It now appears that there will be little loss to the de positors, though a Bcore of men who have been recognized as the wealth iest residents of the city will suffer heavy losses. A number of the stockholders will be unable to meet the 100 per cent, assessment, and this will reduce the amount that would otherwise have accrued in this manner. BETTER PURE FOOD LAWS.

"Why, they're so old and shabby looking," cried Olive. "Olive!" Mrs. Stanley's voice had in It a note of pain. "Olive, do you know, dear, I'm afraid you're sadly lackiug In patriotism and apprecia tion. Uncle John finds his pleasure now in looking back; 'Thinking back,' ta what James Wbltcomb Riley called It, I believe. He takes pleasure In talking over old times with these friends ho has found.

It is not generally remembered that the world-wide reputation of Audu bon as a naturalist, incidentally, Is due to his failure to establish himself permanently as a Missouri grocery merchant and dealer In the best brands of Kentucky whisky. In 1810 he and Ferdinand Rozler, of Ste. Genevieve, loaded a keelboat at Louisville, Ky., with 310 barrels of whisky and groceries and started down the Ohio and Mississippi to Ste. Genevieve to open a grocery store. The trip was made during the winter, and the streams were so full of Ice that the boat was drawn up against the bank and winter quarters were established Juat below Cape Girar deau. When Ste. Genevieve was reached, after tho opening of naviga tion, the firm of "Audubon & Rozler" opened their store and did a pros perous business. But the business was done by Rozler. for Audubon pre ferred the woods to the counter and devoted more of his time to sketching and stuffing birds than he did to mar keting the 310 barrels of good Ken tucky bourbon, or any groceries. This led to a dissolution of the partner ship. On April 11, 1811, Audubon, convinced of his unfitness for busi ness, sold out to Rozler and took up the work for which he waa better fitted than any one who had lived before or who has lived since, and from a fourth rate grocer became tho great ornithologist. The grocery bus iness which Audubon abandoned grew until finally It "extended throughout all of upper Louisiana." Kansas City Star.

Three generations stand by the tombs of the soldier dead to pay tribute to the Nation's heroes who gave their lives to the euuse of the Union. The com rades of those who fell, their children and their grandchlldreu, Join in mark ing the last rcstliiK pluce of the Repub lic's martyrs. There la annually notice able n deepening of the sentiment of gratitude for these men's sacrifices, and of appreciation of the value of their services. The new Amerlouns are able even more accurately than their predecessors to grasp the sig nificance of the titanic atruggle be tween tho States and Its effect upon tho world's civilisation. Theirs Is the historical perspective, and through It tuey see a reunion of the sections, not as a political achievement, not as a sociological phenomenon, but as a step In a great progression toward a na tional Ideal. Memorial Day Is uot essentially a "ay of tears. Personal griefs are of course reawakened and losses are felt more keenly thou ou other occasions. "Ut Uie ceremony of decorating the graves of the soldier dead with tings nnd flowers is in no sense gloomy or morbid. It Is uplifting, iusplrlng, re assuring. It la a wholesome cere monial, significant of the survival of pulrlotlsm, or the fruits of sacrifice, of the glories of reunion. The tears that are ahed are often teara of Joy. The graves nre honored resting places. Tho emblems plueed upon them nre tokens of the esteem aud gratitude or millions or people. The widow, daugh ter, son or grandchild of the soldier sleepiug under the sod can not but feel proud of bis participation In the great strife for a vital principle and exult In the signs of a Nation's de votion to him and his comrades. The humblest bearer of a musket receives to-day as worm a tribute as does the most renowned wearer of shoulder-straps. Memorial Day knows no gradation of military rank. The men who fought and fell were nil heroes, nod as such are honored to-day without discrimination. The ime flag covered uicm when they were burled. The saddest note of nil to-day Is sounded by the drums to the music of which march the veterans of the war of tho '00's. Their feet are flag ging, their bodies wearying.

In the yours to come may the day be far dlstuut when they too shall huve Jolued the silent bivouac and the grand army of preservation nil huve vanished from the face of the earth, Memorial Duy will acquire a significance never before attained, with the whole country bow ing In reverence before the flower decked graves.

Lon don Spectator. Harrisburg (Special). Dairy and Food Commissioner Foust's annua1 report, which was Just made public, devotes considerable space to the ne cessity for better laws regulating the sale of milk nnd ice cream. He sug gests that a State standard for but ter fats be established by laws. Mr. Foust says that he will have prepared for presentation to the Leg islature a law making it illegal to offer for sale any milk or cream which has been skimmed or to Which water has been added in any quan tity, and that a standard of is per cent, of butter fats be fixed for cream. ' He attacks the present laws cov ering the sale of these articles and declares that the growing traffic iu Ice cream makes It necessary for some laws to be enacted to cover the sanitary surroundings of ice cream manufactories. The recommendation for laws re gulating sale of alcoholic and non alcoholic liquors, storage of eggs and poultry and restriction of other foods are renewed. Evidently the experi ence with the new pure food act, approved June 1, 1907, which re pealed the more drastic act of 1893, has not been entirely satisfactory nor us effective as had been anticipated. The commissioner will endeavor to have amendments introduced, chani; ing the law so as to enable the au thorities to institute criminal Instead 3f civil proceedings against violators. He will at the same time favor the continuance of the proviso con tained in the new law, which Is In tended to protect the retail merchant and places the bulk of the responsi bility upon the manufacturer, whole sale dealer or Jobber.
