DAY OF SENTIMENT.
Ceremonies in Cemeteries School of
Patriotism for Both Old
and Young.
On every national anniversary, ex-
eept Memorial day, we deal with things
of life, rather than of death.
On Independence day we celebrate the
nation's birth; on Washington and Lin-
coln dayB the birth anniversaries of its
Immortal patriots; on Thanksgiving
day the fullness and blessings of na-
tional prosperity.
On Memorial day alone we give pause
for tears;-on this hallowed anniversary
we weave chaplets for the nation s
glorious dead.
And how glorious they are—these
myriad sleeping soldiers—and how the
glory of their deeds magnifies with the
years!
We. the living, add not at all to their
Immortality In history with our flow-
ers, our prayers and our tears. But
we do add something of priceless value
to our own lives by the customs of
Memorial day. We turn these sacred
hours into a symphony of patriotism.
The benediction of to-day's flower-
strewn mounds is for the living; It is
on oasis In the storms of life; a level-
ing occasion when the finer sentiments
treep into the souls of American men
and women.
And the nation's cemeteries are to-
day the greatest school of patriotism for
old and young that we have. For true
patriotism counts not death, if through
death the nation shall find life and
health.
No nation is in peril that has such a
Memorial day as we have.
There are those who place sordid
gain above sentiment, and care for our
prosperity only for individual profit.
But the heart of real America beats
true In every crisis. No foe, open or
secret, can successfully measure'
■words with the national conscience.
And this is the real lesson of Me
mortal day. So long as we honor our
soldier dead we will honor our coun-
try.
Memorial day gives perspective.
The tottering Grand Army veteran,
and the lisping boy with cap and
drum and flag, are the visible ex-
tremes of a common unity of patri-
otism.
Passionless, the remnants of former
contending armies unite in a common
sorrow and a common hope. The
blue and gray are not leas hallowed
because time Is blending them.
The season of nature's renewal Is
fittingly the season when this and j
future generations will yearly deco-1
rate the graves of American soldiers. |
And though none of these sleepers
hears the bugle call, each is taken
again to the national heart by the
fresh flowers In his "wlndowlesa pal-
•ce of rest"
Ing ever forget them, or will futura
generations ever cease to read of thosa
times from the pages of history?
Two Memorial days—one for ths
north, one for the south, and again,
"All Americans." No other nation has
concern In these memorial times but
our own. It was a war between broth-
ers; the war has- passed, the brother-
hood remains. Or, if there still are
those whose hearts are fermenting
rooms for sectional hatred, we pity
that man or woman; surely there Is
a time to put aside—If not forget—a
time to regard the best of the pres-
ent, not the worst of the past; a time
to cultivate amenities and loves, not
antagonisms and base passions. Yes,
there are two Memorial days; may
the sun shine clear In the heavens on
the days that commemorate the valor
and the losses of both the north and
the south; nor let either section fall
in thought, at least, to pay Its dne
tribute by awarding equal sincerity
and valor to the other. These days,
as Is eventually the case with all me-
morial days, have measurably lost
their early characteristic—that which
clusters around the affectlonal nature
and recalls the father or the son who
fell In that great struggle. It is not
In man always to mourn; and now
that which was born of the afTectlom
becomes monumental and historic, and
it is well that It is so. In recent
years graves of the northern dead
have been decorated by the brethren
of the south, and the blue have loved
to lay their floral tributes upon ths
graves of the gray. So may It con-
tinue to be. as in future years our
two Memorial days come around with
each recurring spring. Pass a few
tardy years and monuments to a Lee
or a Johnston or a Gordon shall find
a resting place at the north as well
as at the south, and so the oneness of
the people and the forgetfulness ot
old antagonisms shall find expression
in bronze or In marble as It already
dwells In the hearts of those who are
both broadly patriotic and strong.
Festlna diem!—Christian Work.
An old proverb advises the shoe-
maker to stick to his last. It means
that a man always succeeds best at
tha business he knows. To the farmer
It means, stick to your plow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick to your brush.
When we make experiments out of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
It Is amusing, however, to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks
he could do some other fellow's work
better than the other fellow himself.
The painter Imagines he can make
paint better than the paint manufac-
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
a Job of painting better, or at least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand In one of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate of the Painters' Union, "Any-
body can slather paint;" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
"None of your ready made mixtures
for me; I reckon I ought to know
how to mix paint."
The farm hand Is wrong and the
painter is wrong: "Shoemaker, stick
to your last" The "fancy farmer"
can farm, of course, but it Is an ex-
pensive amusement. If It strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
tbat cost him five dollars a dozen. It
Is a form of'amusement, to be sure,
if he can afTord It. but It's not farm-
ing. If the farmer likes to slosh
around with a paint brush and can af-
ford the time and the expense of hav-
ing a practical painter do the Job
right pretty soon afterward, it's a
harmless form of amusement. If the
painter's customers can afford to
stand for paint that comes off In half
the time It should, they have a perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill In paint making. But
In none of these cases does the shoe-
maker stick to his last.
There Is Just one class of men In
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing It right; and that Is the
paint manufacturers—the makers of
the standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mixes paints;
the paint manufacturer grinds them
together. In a good ready-prepared
paint every particle of one kind of
pigment is forced to Join hands with
a particle of another kind and every
bit of solid matter Is forced, as It
were, to open Its mouth and drink in
Its share of linseed oil. That Is the
only way good paint can be made, and
If the painter knew how to do It he
has nothing at hand to do It with. A
paint pot and a paddle are a poor
substitute for power-mixers, buhr-mills
and roller-mills.
The man who owns a building and
neglects to paint It as often as It
needs paint is only a degree more
short-sighted than the one who tries
to do his own painting or allows the
painter to mix his paint for him.

Yes, two Memorial days—and both

The old soldier, veteran of the civil
war. Is a "living epistle, known and
read of all men." His presence among
us is a reminder of the war, an In-
spiration to duty, a living exponent
and illustration of patriotism.
The Grand Army of the Republic Is
made up of the honorably discharged
union soldiers. None others are eli-
gible to membership In It It Is a
nonsectarian and nonpartisan, politi-
cally. organization, and yet its funda-
mental principle Is loyalty to the gov-
ernment. It is a bulwark against trea-
son, and everything else that men-
aces the welfare, prosperity and safety
of the nation.
i Social order, exalted views of life
I and appreciation of our privileges, and
the promise of our future as a nation,
are secured by an Intelligent and care-
ful use ot our opportunities.
These things the Grand Army of the
Republic seeks to secure and foster.
No greater service can be rendered to
our country than to promote and estab-
lish her interests in the welfare, tn-
telligance and high moral quality of
ber people. The veterans of the civil
war see all this, and for them they
stand.—Rev. J. J. Woollev.
Yes, my dear; the man Is very
tired.
He has been working Awfully Hard
for the Past Year. Now he will pro
ceed to take a Rest.
He will rest, I said. To-morrow he
will shoulder a Fishingrod, lug a can
of Wo.-ma in one hand and a basket
of Lunch In the other and hie him-
self to the River for a Fishing Stunt.
Will that rest him?
He thinks it will, and that 1«
Enough. Five days a week for the
past year he has sat at a Desk thref
Hours in the forenoon and threeAourf
In the afternoon, dictating letters and
telling Other men what to do. Thit
has been very strenuous, and he is
Much Fatigued. So to-morrow he will
tramp 'steen miles through biud snd
sa-nd and brush, stand In the hot sun
drink river water, eat a Cold Lunch
full of Ants and Bugs, and In thf
evening he will drag himself home
wondering all the way if he will evei
Get There.
In the morning he will arise a
stiff as a poker and as sore as a gum
boll, but he will be Rested. It wa
a day off from the strenuous business
life, and that Is Sufficient.
But it Is Funny, Isn't It, that a man
cau get Rest out of that sort ol
thing?
No, he will not get any Fish.
He will get Suithnrn and
Chiggers; but he will get no Fish.
He Wasn't Certain.
At Fortress Monroe, Va.. on® day
about a year ago, a man, accompanied
by two ladles, approached a soldier
who, with a gun on his shoulder, .was
pacing to and fro near tho entrance.
Tbs warrior's appearance Indicated
that he was new to the service.
"Can you tell us," asked one of the
visitors, addressing the recruit, "where
Jeff Davis was imprisoned here?"
"Yonder's the gaa-ar-^l house," he
replied. Jerking a thumb over his
shoulder, "but I dunno whether
they've still got him shut up or not.'

Naples. May 22.-Tbe Vesuvius re-
gion was again Inundated by a torren-
tial rain, which fell so heavily that a
mighty river Is now coursing down
the side of the volcano, carrying ev-
erything before it and sweeping trees,
lava, houses and animals out of Its
path. ^ , m
The population Is in a state of
panic.
The torrent, which Is composed in
part of mud, cinders and ashes. Is
about twelve feet wide, and in some
places as much as eighteen feet deep.
Two deaths have already been re-
corded, a man and a boy having been
drowned. The boy was eleven years
of age and the child of a peasant.
He had been warned to fly from the
danger, but insisted upon rushing in
the direction of the stream in an ef-
fort to reach his father, who was In
the torrent's path and unconscious of
his danger. The boy succeeded in
reaching his father, and both ran to-
ward safety. They were, however,
overtaken by the stream and swept
downward.
Another peasant Jumped In the wa-
ter to the rescue, but was also car-
ried away. A second man rushed to
give help and succeeded In pulling
the lad's father and the other man
from the water, but the man was so
Injured that he died soon after. The
body of the heroic boy was flung up
on the trunk of a tree a long distance
below the scene of the tragedy.
Almost a Serious Wreck.

TRYING TO STOPJHE MILL.
ROOSEVELT OPPOSES CONGRES-
SIONAL PEN8I0NS.
Washington. May 21. — President
Roosevelt has notified the chairman
of the house and senate committees
on pensions Jhat congress should
stop the allowance of pensions by
special legislation. He stated that he
strongly disapproves of this class of
legislation and "would consider It
very unwise and Impolitic" to exer-
cise the veto power. In other words,
the president wants congress to stop
grinding out pensions.
The members of the committees on
pensions of both houses do not take
kindly to this further evidence of
White House domination. The presi-
dent has Interfered to an unprece-
dented extent with legislation. There
is soaredy a member of either house
or senate, who has not been a victim
of presidential Interference with leg-
islative matters. Now the president
wants all special legislation with
reference to pensions stopped. It is
needless to say that the congression-
al pension mill will continue to" grind.
If the president deems it necessary he
can exercise his constitutional prero-
gative and veto each separate bill.

New York, May 19. — Mayor Mc-

rapid transit commission that crush-
ed by the weight of sand and water
the roofs of the rapid transit tubes
under the East river, connecting the
subway system In Manhattan with
Brooklyn, have been flattened so
seriously at various points that they
must be rebuilt so that trains c^p
pass through them.
Charles M. Jacobs, chief engineer
in charge of the Pennsylvania tun-
nels under the East and North rivers;
Gustav Lendenthal and Charles Sooy
Smith, called In as experts, declare
that the present conditions in the
ICast river are sufficient to cause a
delay of from two and one-half to
three years in the work. Reconsiruc-

necessary for more than 1,200 feet of
the section from Joralemon and Hicks
streets out under the Brooklyn water
