SPEAKS ON THE. CIVIL WAR Rev, 0. N, Dawson at Memorial Bervioes at | Beward Strest Ohurch. GRANT AND CROOK POSTS IN ATTENDANCE Preacher Aska V, . Byt rans to Forget the of the War if They Can and to Ob te Sec- tional Feeling. Memorial services at the Seward Street Methodist church yesterday morning were Mttended by U. B. Grant post and George Crook post, Grand Army of the Republic, and the Auxiliary Woman's Relief corps. The church was fittingly decorated with palms, cut flowers, the Stars and Stripes being displayed at every available point. Every seat in the house was occupled | H when Rev. C. N. Dawaon, the pastor, opened the services. The speaker said that he Bad intended to preach a sermon, but bad changed bis mind and would speak on the Subject of the civil war and the events leading up to It, speaking from personal Teminiscences. He said in part: “The reasons for the war are to be found in the settlement of the country. The men who lapded at Plymouth Rock Bad vastly different views from those who Ianded on the James. The former came to this country to secure a home for re- lgious liberty, while the latter came only to make money. In the days immediately before the war the subjcet fllled the churches. Sermone were preached on it in &1l parts of the country. It divided people n the church. “On this Memorial day T do not think ft wrong to go back in memory to those day: to the batties, to the hospital, and there are times when it s not wrong to almo: worship the glorfous flag. I am not here, men, brethren, friends, to stir up old animosities. 1 want to see the day when | there will be no north, no south; when we will think only of one flag, for one flag is enough. I don't want to stir up sectional feeling, but when I hear the awful story of the prisons 1 am not surprieed to know that some cannot forget. Many were starved to death there, and I can overlook the feeling. 1 belleve the great God in heaven can overlook it. | “But all of this is past. Let us forget | the evils if we can—the events of the last | R two years have obliterated much. “The trouble was not all In the south | and the suffering was not ail in battle—tor | here in the homes of the north, mothers and wives watched the malls, devoured the papers to see the fate of their loved otes in the battle. “I have no sympathy with those who object to pensions. 1 want to see the day when each soldier will have & pension— enough to live upon. “lI remember when the war closed—how | 5 the bells rang. Those were joyous day for some, but sad days for many—those who waited for the men whose war records were summed up in the ome word, ‘miss- ing.' " OPEN MISSION OF TWO WEEKS. Fathers Rosswinkel Donoher Begin Missionary Work. St. Philomena's cathedral was crowded to the doors Sunday morning and many were unable. to get in, the occasion being the opening of a two weeks' mission o ba conducted by Rev. J. Rosswinkel, S. J., and | Rev. J. J. Donoher, S, J., the well-known | missionaries. The catbedral was tastefully decorated with flowers and presented a beautiful ap- pedtance. At 1030 o'clock high mass wes celebrated, after which Rev. Rosswinkel outlined the work of the mission and nounced the program. He stated that a mission was a message and that he and | his co-workers were here to deliver a mesage to the people. “We come hot to deliver a message of | our own,” he said, “for we have no mes- sage; we come representing the Lord of us all, to deliver His message. Primarily the message 18 for our own good Catholics, who are first in the church. Incidentally | it 18 for those who were with us, but have Dow wandered away. We desire to bring back these wandering sheep and to do it | we must have the co-operation of you all. | You must assist us in getting these people back, help them to be saved. We also de- sire the presence of non-Cathollcs, good, respectable people. There are many mer- bers leaving the Catholic chureh, and many | jolning us, and If we work together we will have many more. those who have non-Catholic husbands are tnvited to bring their husbands with them. The second week will be for the men. Fol- | lowing will be the order of the dally ex- | ercises: §:30 & m. mass azd sbort in- | struction; 8 a. m., mass and sermon; $ p. m., way of cross and children's mission; 7 p. m., instruction for adults, Catholie snd non-Cathollc; 7:45 p. m., beads, ser- mon and benediction. TRUTH, HONOR AND INTEGRITY. Mev. Van Deerlen Names Some of Human Effort. At Trinity cathedral Sunday morning Rev. | E. J. W. Van Deerlen preached from the text, “To This End Was I Born,” John xvill, 7. “It is urgent that we should strug- gle to discover our special vocation in life,” sald he “in order that we may not ‘Waste our energies in abortive effort. How shall we know when we have found it? 7 belleve that our special province, in nine capes out of ten, is the one in which we 8nd’ ourselves. It does not follow that we are predestined to live certain lives and fli certain flelds of activity. I belleve that, ‘on the contrary, we too often miss the nd which God had in view for us. It is mot @ much what the work is as Bow it is dome; It matters little to God what sphere we move im But there must be no wasting of our talents. We must Bave real, genuine ambition, and be faith- ful to that ambition. We must determine to get on in the world, using care, zeal, stern and. watehful self-denial, ceaseless battling againet human weaknesses, never- ending warfare against the lusts of the flesh, and so ever tend on to truth, honor and stainless integrity. “And 17 the Master sees fit in His wisdom to disappoint some of our ambitions, let us pot be disappolnted. Let us say to our- Master, has placed me here to try me: He shall see that I am brave, patient, trustful, faithful and true.’ Bee that your acts done in the lght of day | Bpecial Tele- ball ONAWA.

Among the interesting characters attend- ing the Omaha encampment of the Ne- braska Grand Army of the Republic was Henry Masterman of Lincoln, who is the oldest veteran of the civil war in the state and one of the oldest in the country. Mr. Masterman was born near Hull, England, April 3, 1813, and served in the British army before coming to America. In thals country he served in the Twenty-eighth Towa and was with Grant at Vicksburg, Banke on the Red river expedition and with Sheriden in the Shenandoah valley, when that active and able cavalry leader made the valley so ‘desolate that “a crow in flying over would have to carry his pro- visions on his back.” Mr. Masterman bears his 89 years lightly and travels unaccompanied from his home in Lincoln to the encampments over the state. His personal recollections of Great Britaln from the standpoint of a soldler before Queen Victoria went on the throne of that country are interesting and, as he says, are brighter in his memory than the events of the current time. To some {of the members of the Grand Army he talked of tbose times Friday afternoon, sit- ting in front of Washington hall, where the encampment was in session. “I was but a slip of a boy,” he sald, ““when I éntered the army. My entire life bad been spent in the small village of Leven, where 1 was born, and I had few ideas above what I had seen there. It Was a year or more after 1 entered the army that 1 was sent with my regiment, a part of the Rifie Brigade of Sharpshooters, to serve as guard at Windsor castle just after the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne. Everyone was anxious to see the youthful monarch, and as a loyal Briton my enthusiasm was at its highest when I found that I to guard the castle in which she resided. I did not have much of an idea of what a queen-body looked like, id 1 really don’'t know what I expected to seo, but when I learned that the queen made a practice of walking along a certain path in the morning I resolved to see her, #0 when off duty I strolled along the path about the hour she was wont to walk, craning my neck for an unusual sight. 1 had gone but a short distance frem the barracks when 1 passed a young girl, who looked up and smiled sweetly at me. I was't looking for girls then, and While 1 smiled back in return, I paid little atten- tion to her. I kept looking for the queen until I heard the sound of a bugle, which recalled me, and as I passed the guard 1 asked him if the queen would walk that way that day. He sald: ‘She has already walked out and returmed. Ygu passed her on the walk about an hour ago.’ “‘No, 1 didn't,’ I replied. ‘The only thing that passed me was a slip of a girl and I @idn't pay any attention te “Well,' sald the sentry, ‘t girl was the queen of England.’ But 1 would mot believe him until I had seen her where I knew none but the queen could be. “A short time after that I was stationed as guard at the main entrance of the srounds and ordered to salute each mem- ber of the royul party as they passed through. I had been on guard but a short time when an old man and an old woman cameé hobbling out througl the gate. I stood stolid, pever thinking of saluting. They had scarcely passed when the eer- geant of the guard came along and asked me why I bad not saluted the royal per- sons who passed ; “‘Royal persons,’ I said. ‘There bave Engages Reglmental Baod. W s The (West Point (Neb.) Leiderkrans is R been no royal persons pass here since I've been on guard. Nobody has gome through the gate but a farmer and his wife.' “‘A farmer and his wife!' bellowed the sergeast. “Why, man, that was the king and queen of the Belgians.’ “The next day I received orders to report THE OMAMA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MAY 26, 1902. 'AMATEUR DRIVING NATINEE Good Attendance at Second Mesting of Tri-Oity Recing Olub. | ROBBY B WINS THE EVENT OF THE DAY | Tony W, Blugen, George Castle | Black Hawk Take First Money “ in Other Races of the Cara. | | Saturday afternoon was an ideal day for the second matinee of the Tri-City Amateur Driving club and almost twice as many peo- ple were at the track as there were at the initial meeting. The horses were in better condition and faster time was made, and of the five events pulled off every one was & redhot affalr and full of interest and excitement. One of the most interesting events on the program was the ome-half mile trot, 2:20 | class, between Polly Fox, Robby B. and Sunlight. Polly Fox drew the pole, but lost it to Robby at the quarter, who kept it and the lead until the home stretch was reached, Sunlight bringing up the rear with lots of epace to spare. Young Thomas, Polly Fox's driver, brought his horse down the stretch like a veteran and won with not enough daylight between her and Rob- by B. to light a shanty. In the secona and third heats of this race Wovby B won and at no time in the race were the two horses far enough apart to foreshadow the result. In the second event, a 2:30 pace, half- mile heats, Jeska wouldn't make an effort without hobbles and the pace became & running match between Governor Taylor and Blugen. Both horses broke repeatedly. In the first heat Governor Taylor came under the wire in & run and in the second and third both came under in a run with Blugen a nose ahead. In the third heat of this Dunn was allowed to hobble Jeska and | try her without belng given a place. The little mare braced up under the hobbles like a cyclone and came out so far ahead of the other two that it looked like a one- borse race. In the fifth event Buck Keith started Lizzie B. like a winner and the little animal 4id show good stuff and landed the first heat with room to spare, but in the second and third ehe broke when she shouldn't and Black Hawk carried off the race. In the special pace for track horses, mile heats, George Castle won two straight heats in sensational runs. Early Morn drew the pole and the horses lined out, with Early Morn way to the good, Jessie Kling and Black Strath doing team work In the middle and George Castle 50 far behind at the balf that he looked like a dray horse. He gradually passed the middle horses, who were golng neck-and-neck, and lined up alongside of Early Morn. For a quarter the two horses kept up the pace, but coming down the home stretch, George Cas- tle moved away from Early Morn like a ghost and the little gray finished last, with Black Strath and Jessie Kling nose and nose for second. The same performance was re- peated in the second heat. The next meet- ing will be in Council Bluffs June 7. Sum- mary: First race, special_trot for track horses, mile heats: Tony W (W. H. Crow) won, Lucky Jim (McAvoy) second, Spotty M (George M. Babbitt) third, Durada (Tom Dennison) fourth, Bachelor Mald (A. L. Thomas) fifth.

Memorial e of Musie., Be A citizen of prominence and a man who always warmly admired the late President McKinley, says the Buffalo Times, asked recently what is the intention of the people, the city, the state or the govern- ment as regards the place where McKinley was shot. “Is It intended,” he asked, “that when the exposition buildings have been cleared away the tpot on which the late president was shot shall be unmarked, that everyone shall trample over it at will, that it shall be s0ld for residental or business purposes? “That should not be’” he continued. “That place above all others should be preserved. It would become a national shrine. When people go to Washington they never fail to vieit the spot in the rallway station where Garfield was shot down. When people go to Boston they never fail to visit the old church where Paul Revere started on his famous ride or stop & moment or two In the little old cem- etery where he and other heroes of revolu- tionary days lle. The true American would rather pause at those historic places than beneath the shadow of the grandest monu- ment ever raised to immortalize the mem- ory of any man. “The place where McKinley was shot is historic. So long as this nation endures it will be ever thus. The people, I care not what their political faith, liked, loved and admired McKinley for his greatness and virtues. He was one of the noblest men that God ever gave to a people. There is no danger that his memory will ever fade. “‘The plot of ground on which the Temple of Music stood should be bought by the government and preserved by it. A monu- ment of some kind should be placed upon it. It need not be an expensive one, as Buffalo is to put up a $100,000 memorial to the late president. But something should be done to preserve the spot and if nothing but & emall monument and ehrubbery were put around it that would be far better than daing nothing at all. “But this government has enough money to raise a worthy memorial to the man and it should be dome.” Lake Manawa Decuration Day. Lake Manawa is to be opened Decoration day, pext Friday, for the summer. While Manawa park has been greatly improved in many ways, additional grounds, well shaded, bave been added and extra attrac- tions secured for the opening day, its patrons do not want to overlook The Kur- saal and Manhattan Beach, with its fine sandy beach and most elaborate bath- houses, that far exceed any bathhouses in the entire west. One of the finest bands ever in the west will give concerts both afternoon and evening. It was organized especially for the Manawa season by Mr. A. A. Coralt, the well-known cornet sololst, and is composed of the best musicians and sololsts obtainable from all parts of the country. It is announced that this band will please Manawa patrons as much as any band ever visiting this part of the west, without an exception.

Third for track horses, mile hea . gpecial pace George Castle (Thomas) won, Campfire Stories to the colonel of the regiment, and when I entered I found him in a black humor. ‘* ‘Masterman,’ said he, ‘what is this T hear about you failing to obey orders? Do you know the penalty of that offense? “I toll him that I didn't know the pen- alty and didn’t know when I had failed to obey orders. In a thundering voice he called my attention to the fact that I had falled to salute royalty when I was on guard. I admitted my mistake and be said: * ‘Now, my boy, what would you think 1t 1 would enforce the rules in this case and give you a hundred stripes on your ba back? It would be a bad thing for a young man like you, but T would certainly do it if someone who outranks me hadn't ordered otherwise,' dnd then he showed me a note signed Victoria, R., which sald: “‘The colonel of the regiment will not punish the boy Masterman for failing to ealute, as under the circumstances it was excusable.” “The note was all that saved me from punishment, but the caution was enough and thereafter when I was on guard at the main entrance of the palace I saluted everyone who passed and would not be surprised if there were not chimney sweeps and footmen who could for years recall a royal lute received from a guard at ‘Windsor.' Mr. Masterman had two sons in the civil ‘war at the time he served, one in the same regiment with himself. For twenty-seven years he has been chaplain of Farragut post at Lincoln and says: “In that position I have assisted at the burial of 116 veterans of the civil war and not one of them was within ten years of as old as 1 was at the time of the funeral.” Another person of more than passing interest In the encampment is the new senlor vice commander, S. . Peters of Beatrice. Mr. Peters served fourteen years in the army, having enlisted In the regular army at the close of a ninety-day enlist- ment early in the war when he went out with the Second Obio volunteers as a drum- mer. While not the youngest man at the reunion he was the youngest to serve dur- ing the entire war, being 55 years old at this time. When the ninety-day men were mustered out he jolned the Sixth Dnited States cavalry, the regiment in which Major General Adna R. Chaffee enlisted at the same time. They were not In the same company, but were thrown together considerably while General Chaffee was a private and became very well acquainted. General Wade, who now holds & position subordinate to General Chaffee, was an officer in the regiment, and was looked upon as one who would advance rap- idly, as he was a son of Ben Wade, the famous Oblo congressman. “Wade was & good soldier,” sald Mr. Peters,” and never received anything to which he was not en- titled after he got his start, but there was never & soldier like Chaffee. Look at him mow. He has served in every position in the army, commissioned and noncommis- sioned, and has filled every place with bonor to himself and advantage to the sery- ice. He had no pull of any sort, but was slways the right man in the right place The last 1 saw of him he was & private in Company D, but scon after I left the Sixth and entered another regiment he was promoted and I have waiched his course since with interest.” At the close of the civil war Mr. Peters fought Indisns in the west for ten years and then became & newspaper reporter, doing work on the Ohlo State Journal and other Obio papers. He is now city editor of the Beatrice Exprees. Omahs probably supplied to the spcamp- ment the only dead man of the occasion in the person of Bdward Yarton, who lives St 1983 Lesvenworth street. Mr. Yarien vice between Manawa Park and Manbattan Beach. Some Soldiers’ Yarns Spun by Grand Army Veterans. was private In a New York company at the battle of the Wilderness, and took part in the most bloody engagement of that ex- tensive fight. “We bad advanced just to the edge of the screen of woods which marked that wilder- ness,” he sald, “when we encountered the enemy. Our lines were so close together that we could almost touch guns. All one afternoon we fired by volley and at random into those woods and received a withering fire in return. Soon the enemy's ammuni- tion was exhausted and there was a lull in their fire. In a short time ours wi also gone and we sent for more. We sent two men from a company and they could not carry many rounds, but we had thirty aplece when they returned and for an hour we poured shot into the foliage and as the enemy’s ammunition had been replenished the rattle of the muskets sounded as strong as ever. Then again the ammunition on both sides became exbausted. I don't know who started it, but a moment after the fire had ceased on elther side someone clubbed his musket and jumped for the lines of the enemy. In less time than it takes to tell it those lines were massed in # hand-to-hend conflict. Many men went through the entire war without seeing such an engagement. The first thing the soldier did was to throw away his bayone Then he struck the butt of his musket against a tree and’ broke off the stock. The barrel was all that he retained and that made a most deadly bludgeon. You can sce the effect of such a club.” Here Mr. Yarton removed his hat and showed his auditors the back of his hea where the skull had been crushed, leaving & deep indenture. T got that from the lock of a gun held in the hand of some confederate and I will never know who did it, for I knew nothing for some time, but before I was it I saw the bloodiest fight that ever took place, I belleve, One man lost his club and drew his pocketknife, a long blade with & strong hilt. He jumped into the thickest of the melee with that and I saw him rip open the bodles of opposing sol- diers before he finally was rendered pa ive. When I returned to consclousness I was a prisoner on the way to Anderson- ville, but I later dearned that I was re- ported as dead by the compamy com- mander, that the report went to head- quarters and 1 was legally killed in action until 1 established my identity upon my release. At Andersonville I was put in chasge of a band of 1,000 prisoners. It was my duty to divide the rations, and such ra- tions as they were. We had a bushel, a peck and a quart of meal & day for 1,000 men. One day I would start at one end of the line and the mext day at the other, while the third day I would start in the middle in order to vary the distribution, as those at the final end of the line would get very little out of the portion issued to all. That meal included chaff and cobs, as it was all ground together and every time there was a high wind our rations shrunk amazingly, as all of the chaff would blow away. But the end came at last, and I'm here to tell .about it, even though I 4id receive what was called & mortal in- jury by the surgeon who first examined me." The man who was prisoner of war for the shortest time on record in atiendanmce at the encampment was probably Semator Steele, the present commander of the de- partment. He was & private in the Second lilinois cavalry and was captured at Fort Donaldson while operating against that fort under General Grant. The day after bis capture the federal forces captured the fort and all prisomers were released. This was the only time be was captured and be went through the war without & scrateh &% | REINA WINS THE HANDICAP Little Filly Surprises Thousands by Leading Thirteen Noted Racers. BEATS ADVANCE GUARD A SHORT HEAD Thirty-Five The: the Excitirg Event, People Witne n W Two Horses Break Legs NEW YORK, May 25.—Under ideal con- ditions for a great running race the Brook- lyn handicap at Gravesend was won by Arthur Featherstone's 4-year-old chest- nut filly Reina in 2:07, at 40 to 7, with 0'Connor up. Reina won by a short head, leading home thirteen of the most noted racers of the American turf. Advance guard with T. Burns up wa second, a length ahead of J. E. Madden' Pentecost, ridden by Redfern. Frank Far- rel's Blues, a great favorite in the betting ring, fought hard with Pentecost for third place, but finished fourth, and Monograph, the western horse that had raised high ex- pectations after Teading for the first quar- ter of a mile, dropped back to fifth place at the wire. The winning of the race by Reina not only upset all calculaticns of the shrewdest guessers, but also broke a tradition. She is the first mare to win the Brooklyn hand- icap. Only a wise few picked her to win. Biues First Favorite. An hour or more before the race, when the first book on the handicap was shown in the betting ring, Blues, Herbert and Advance Guard were the favorites in the order named, the odds on Blues being 7 to 2 and 7 to 5, while Herbert was 4 to 1 and § to 5 and Advance Guard at almost the same price. The race started with the odds follows, including Alcedo, who stumbled soon after starting and threw his rider, Shaw: Reina, 40 to 1; Advance Guard, 4 to 1; Pentecost, 40 to 1; Blues, 7 to 2; Mono- graph, 12 to 1; Sadie 8., 40 to 1; Flywheel, 20 to 1; Carbuncle, 30 to 1; Watercure, 40 to 1; Oom Paul, 12 to 1; Herbert, 6 to 1; The Regent, 20 to 1; Roehampton, 12 to 1; Alcedo, 10 to 1. The bugle for the Brooklyn handicap, which was the fourth race of the Brooklyn Jockey club’s opening day of 1902, sounded at 4 o'clock. The air was a trifle too warm, except when the refreshing sea breeze was unobstructed by the buildings. The mu- sical notes roused 35,000 persons, the greate est crowd ever assembled at the track, to the highest pitch of expectation and inter- est. Every Cormer Crowded. The space between the grandstand and the pavilion became an eighth of a mile of densely packed humanity, and the fringe on the inner side of the track for & quar- ter of a mile was dense. A few moments after the bugle sounded the fourteen contestants of the great race | passed up the stretch in single file, each | handsome thoroughbred bearing its rider dressed in gay colors. The horses passed to the head of the stretch, the race distance being a mile and a quarter, and at 4:05 they were all ready for the word. A moment or two later there was a shout, “They're off." Monograph, the western colt by Mar- grave-Monopoly, that had showed a mile and a quarter at the track in 2:06, took the lead at the start, though Roehampton was on the rail, Advance Guard in fourth position, Herbert next, Blues in tenth, all between Monograph and the rail. Reina is Second. In the first quarter Monograph was still first, Reina second, Flywheel third, Herbert fourth, Blues sixth and Advance Guard ninth. X At the balf Monograph was still clinging to the lead and Reina was second as be- fore. Herbert had worked up to third place with Blues fourth. Pentecost seventh and Advance Guard had begun his Tush toward the front by getting into the elghth place. In the course of the next quarter Reins took the lead with Mono- graph second, Blues third, Herbert back in fourth place and Advance Guard up another notch to seventh place. Pentecost wi ninth. Reina finished the mile first, the battle of the real leaders growing flercer every jump. Advance Guard had rushed from seventh to fourth place and was fiying into the stretch with what looked like a grand determination to win. Monograph kept ber place as second, Blues was third and Pentecost eighth. Pentecost Forges Ahe Down the streich came the great fleld. Shouts rang out as Pentecost flew forward and began a battle with Blues for third mone; The eye of the multitude, however, was chiefly on Advance Guard and Reina. Could the mare hold the lead? It was lessening every jump Advance Guard took. Winnle O'Connor on Reina and Tommy Burns on Advance Guard began using their whips and the flerce lashing had some ap- parent effect on Reina, but not on her great rival. The mare made one last effort and flew under the wire with Advance Guard's nose almost beside her own. S0 close was the finish that s« the grandstand shouted “dead heat It was plain to wll that one or two jumps more would have reversed the order of finishing of the two leaders. Alcedo stumbled immediately after the start and came past the grandstand rider- less. al in Three Horses Fall. An accident in the first race of the day caused a change of mounts in the handi- cap. Odom was riding Cervera and J. Daly was on Lamp o'Lee, when Cervera crossed his legs and fell. Sterling Fox, coming up, stumbled and Lamp o'Lee on the outside hit Sterling Fox. All three went down in a bad splll. Cervera and Lamp o'Lee broke their legs and were shot. Odom and J. Daly were so badly shaken up that they could not ride in the succeed- ing races, including the handicap, in which Odom had the mount on Herbert and Daly on Oom Paul. E.

AVER CO., Lowell, Mass. manner of allen influences at work to wreck it It 18 by no means bad luck for a pair of true lovers to have to prove themselves superior to the hostility of their friends and relations, alwaye supposing the objec- tons those persons are able o bring for- ward are merely foolish or selfish in thelr character. To stand together, their two selves alone against the world, cements their affection, welds their conetancy and creates between them a triply forged cable of devotion. Besides—and this is a highly important point—confiict from outside pre- vents conflict between the two themselves. There is no sorrier spectacle than that of a love worn thin, and the danger of con- stant trivial quarrels 1s that one sad day a real tumult will arise which will reveal to its participants the horrible truth that they have wearled one another's patience out at last. Hence, what the friends of a palr prone to the stimulation of perpetual fall- ings out should do in kindness and in wis- dom is to hasten the wedding on with all speed. For it is strange but true that the most quarrelsome sweethearts often eettle down into a truly amisble married patr, without a point at variance between them Certainly the betrothed person agrees With few persons. It is so trying to the temper. No one knows this more abso- lutely than the naturally obstinate in- dividual. 1f there were a school for lovers, the class containing those who will mot admit they have been in the wrong would be lowest in the academy. Their lesson would be a repetition of tmew words: [ Am sorry. I am to blame. Forgive me— which they would have to say, not with downcast eyes, a sullen look and an - mannered scowl, as If they did not really feel or actually believe what they declared, but with repentance in their very action. Half the serlous dlssensions that so cruelly epoil what should be the lovelles: and most enjoyable hours the engaged pair Pass together arise from a pig-headed de- termination not to give in and beg pardon for faults committed. Often the fault is #0 paltry that the couple themselves can- Dot remember what it is, while the battle rages with full venom and hearts throb with sorrow and spleen. If only one or two would do hurt to the pride that holds back the word of recon- ciliation, then love would survive. But as a rule it is the aggrieved party Who can do most to avert disaster in such 8 dilemma, especially if the one in error be the man. Women find it dificult enough to admit themselves in the wrong, but men are usually absglutely tongue-tied under the ordeal. They would rather slink away unforgiven and euffer any amount of mis« understanding than honestly make confee- slon of their own culpability and sue for pardon. So what the girl has to do is to soothe the trouble down or to laugh it off altogether, and fortunate indeed is the fel- low who is engaged to an angel who can perform either of these feats while she is vet stinging from the taste of his unkind- ness. For be it known there are a greater num. ber of what would have been considered in the old days hopeless cases cured in these by the intervention of the woman's g00d sense and all-conquering devotlon. Does any one realize to the full what a revolution has been caused by the annihila. tion of what used to be known in the past s “proper pride?’ And also by the culti- vation of that doughty friend of all lovers, & sense of humor? Happily there is no kind of quarrel that capnot be healed If guinea gold esteem exists between the estranged couple. A sweeping statement? Yes, but one that Iife verifies every day. There is a love that even outside influence camnot kill, though it tries its best and usually in cases where it is most likely to succeed. What mischief-maker is there like a talebearer, for example? Trusting little 17-year-old Janet, who idealizes her stal- wart lover, Douglas, one day bas poured into her ears a story of his engagement to another girl in the far away years before Janet knew him. Douglas had n tioned that affair to Janet, whether wisely or not, no one but himself is the proper are the only make in the world with particular and | | i judge. That being so, it was not right thai another should be his mouthplece. It is hard for a young girl to hear that the man she thought loved her first had really been much more devoted to someone else before her, hence Janet may be forgiven for a severe attack of the dire disease jealousy, and a bitter feeling of resentment against Douglas for what she in her own mind deemed his deception. Under properly conducted circumstances, how- ever, the pain might end there. Janet's proper attitude would be as follows: It she loved Douglas over- whelmingly she would crush the jealous feeling and still the dlsappointment that naturally would accompany it and say pot one word to him upon the subject, trust to some favorable opportunity presenting itselt to her lover of telling his story. Then with a tranquil manner she could let him know she had beem aware of the tale for ever go long and he would admire her for her reticence and for her faith fn him. But supposing this Spartaniike line of con- duct to be an imposeibility, still the ca- lamity of a quarrel would be averted were Janet to repeat to Douglas, without show of anger, and only the merest betrayal of distress, what she had heard, leaving it to him to give his version and to explain his silence. How much better either alternative than a sudden coldness on Junet's part, a refusal to admit offense in any way, and finally a rupture! NOT THERE AS AN EXAMPLE. Colonel Stopped Drinking for the Stomach's Sake. D. Blridge Monroe gives in the Baltimore Bun the following account of an amusing incident at & temperance meeting in To- peka, Kan., during the successful political campaign of St. John, the noted prohibi- tionist, for governor of that state in 1878. “I was in Topeka one evening during the campalgn and learned that a big temper- ance meeting in the Interest of Bt. John was to be held in one of the largest churches in the city. I determined to at- tend the meeting. My friend, Colonel A., & prominent citizen of Topeka, informed me early in the evening that he also would attend the meeting, but probably would not arrive until late. “Now the colonel was known as a genial, polished gentleman, and, withal, one not averse to partaking of the cuj cheers and inebriates, although. credibly informed, he was never known to be intoxicated. He was sald, however, to be one of the best judges and most appreci- ative consumers of good liguor in the state. | Finally the time came when the colonel | P ysiclan_prohibited him from using any t or spirituous liquors whatever. This was a severe denial for the colonel, but he promised to follow the doctor's directions "It epeedily became knowns throughout the town that the colonel hud become a& total abstainer. When he arrived at the meeting an usher conducted him to a front seat and a preacher who was making an address broke the thread of his remarks an i ‘I pause here, my friends, to greet a dis- tinguished citizen who, I'm informed, has recently become a recruft to our ranks. All honor to Colonel A. His course In the sten he has taken merits our highest admira- tlon and he is entltied to our warmest sym- pathy. In the noble determination he has reached we see the triumph of conscience over appetite. The contest, I have no doubt, was a severe one, but conscience won, and today he is a total abstainer.’ “These words of the preacher were fol- lowed by tumultuous applause from the audience. As soon as the applause had ubsided the colonel, to the no little aston. ishment of everybody present. slowly and Tith much dignity arose “Theh, looking at the preacher, he’gravely and deliberately said: ‘Mr._Preacher, 1 thank you. You have stated the matter admirably, so far as the manner is concerned. Yet you have, doubt- {less without intention, misstated the facts. I am a total abstainer by the doctor's or« ders, because my stomach went back on me. "It {sn't my conscience that makes me a teetotaler, but my stomach, only my omach.’ ““Then Colonel A. calmly resumed his seat and when the laughter excited by his re- marks had subsided the preacher went on with his address, but the colonel was not referred to again.” Ecsema No Cure, No Pay.
