SOLDIER OF oS JOINS THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH
Since the close of the Avar with Spain Memorial day has assumed a new sig
nificance The dead of two wars are honored and the real meaning of the day
is brought home to the later generation as it never has been before The haziness
that time gives to memories of those who have gone to their last resting place
is brushed aside and the real import of the day stands out with more distinctness
One day in the year may well be given over entirely to honoring our soldier dead
It is not too much They gave up their lives some to hold the country undivided
and some to relieve a down trodden people at the threshold of our republic TVe
owe them a debt of gratitude that we never can repay whether they fought in
the civil war or the war with Spain Their devotion and their courage entitle
them to the grateful remembrance we show and the recent additions to their
number make the real significance of the exercises more distinct

I ON THE ROLL
OF HONOR
H
E always knew when Mike was
coming the manner of his en
trance never left room for doubt
There was always the confused murmur
of a wordy dispute with the elevator boy
downstairs who refused to operate his
machine for newsboys the quick rush of
bare feet up the stairs to the shrill ac-
companment of Mah Coal Black Lady
or Mr Johnson Turn -Me Loose the
door would fly open with a crash and
Mike would be in the center of the room
shouting Evnen Journal Latst war
news from a golden imagination
the already very yellow news of his
paper in a manner that must have won
him an editorship couid the proprietor of
the sheet have heard him This partic
ular May afternoon the method of his
entrance differed in no way from the
usual routine save that the door flew
open a little more suddenly and swung
to again with a little louder crash if pos
sible But once inside it was evident
that Mike was unduly excited The pa
pers which he usually held out in front at
arms length to display to the best advan
tage their half page scare heads were
tucked securely under one arm his big
black eyes danced jubilantly and hel en
tirely forgot business and the startling
news of his papers in the vastly greater
importance of his own news
Say wot yer tink De ol mans list
ed fer a soger hes gon twar Aint he
a bird he shouted
Whose old man I inquired
Mine Me dad Whosed yer sup
pose Git de w out o yer tinker he
replied scornfu
But Mike v ho is going to support the
family I inquired remembering a vivid
description Mike had once given me of six
little Murphys of whom he was the eld
est and only leven at that
De famIys all right Dad says dat
if he goes off to de scrap de folks wot
stays home is bounj to take care uv his
faniIy Say yer ought to see iin Hes
all right ye bet De regment marches
to morrer
It was the first time I had ever heard
Mike speak of his father with anything
like respect I knew him to be a drunken
who abused his wife and
children and contributed little to their
support The days wore on Regiment
after regiment passed through the city
en route for the South and Mike was joy
ously full of excitement Every after-
noon he blew into the office and every day
ninwl J jm
cAiufi mBfyim0iiu
his stories of the news grew bigger and
more yellow He followed every move of
the army and his imagination ran riot
with the possibilities of the world-changing
drama being enacted Every scrap of
news in regard to his fathers regiment
was on his tongues end and 1 soon found
that with the donning of his blue coat his
father had become a hero As for Mike
himself he was the same impudent sharp
eyed dirty ragged little gamin as of
yore one of the most successful newsboys
on the street an inveterate scrapper and
gambler and on his own confession rare
ly at night having more than half his
days earnings to take home When I
remonstrated with him and pointed out
that he should take his fathers place ho
was always ready with an answer fall
ing back on the old argument that if his
father fought for his country it was his
countrys place to look after his family
The summer wore on The Fourth of
July dawned hot and sultry The temper
ature rose with the sun at 10 oclock it
was 80 at 11 oclock 90 and at noon it
registered 9G in the shade The glare from
the asphalt streets blinded the eyes Men
panted for breath and now and then one
fell The water front and the parks were
thronged with women and children seek
ing relief Those who succumbed were
taken to the hospitals but no one minded
them Down before Santiago 10000 men
in dingy brown canvas blue trimmed uni
forms in the blistering heat of a tropical
climate were fighting against overwhelm
ing odds On the day before had come
the news of a disastrous defeat and the
night had closed down in gloom To day
the defeat had been turned into a victory
and tho cable had flashed home the details
of a great naval victory besides The
great city sweltered and sweated and
waited for confirmation and for the list oi
dead
That afternoon business called me to
the office For an hour I worked and
then fell to thinking of tho great tragedy
being enacted Suddenly I became aware
that someone was standing by my desk
Evnen Journal sir List uv dead and
wounded
It was Mike but I hardly recognized
the voice All the impudence the old
time braggadocio was gone and he had
come in so quietly Why Mike I
began Then I noticed the trace of tears
furrowed through the dirt on the two
grimy cheeks There was an unwonted
seriousness in the deep black eyes and
an unmistakable quiver in the voice as he
repeated Evnen Journal sir Extra
jes out Plete list uv dead an wound
ed
I snatched the paper eageriy and tossed
Mike a nickel Never mind the change
I said and plunged into the details of the
fight When I glanced up Mike was still
there
If yer please sir he began standing
on one leg and uneasily rubbing it with
the dirty brown foot of the other If
yer please sir could I count yer reglar
fer a poiper every night Oi Oi got ter
sport de famly now cause Oim th head
uv it He hes dere sir he finished
with a dry sob pointing to the open page
before me Glancing down Xha column
in heavy black bold faced type I saw the
name of Private Dennis A Murphy on
the roll of honor with the brief explana
tory line Shot through the head
Mike drew a step nearer Say he
said with just a touch of his old time
eagerness hes a hero now urat he
Mike has several regular customers in
the office now but he no longer blows in
like a miniature hurricane He comes
and goes quickly but quietly He is full
of business and although his former im
pudence now and then flashes out it is in
a guarded way that will lose him ao cus
tomers He is always ready for a scrap
when anyone intrudes upon his rights
but he has given up fighting for the fun
of the thing and he no longer pitches
pennies and gambles away his hard-earned
money Yer see Oim de head uv de

he explains
The other day he came into the office
with the old time rush Theyve got me

he inquired wistfully Say do yer spose

CRIME OF THOUGHTLESSNESS
Which Causes the Death of Many Sick
Robm Victims
Thoughtlessness and mistaken kind
ness in the sick room slay their thou
sands and the family and nurses are
oft times the unknown accessories to
the deed is the emphatic opinion of
Bland Brunner Huddleston writing of
Visitors to the Sick room in the
Womans Home Companion They
fear criticism too much Their mothers
and grandmothers never dreamed of re
fusing admittance to the sick room it
would cause talk to begin it So the
nurse casts responsibility off on custom
and puts a blind trust in Providence
and the deed is done No matter how
visibly it harrows the spul of a nervous
woman to have outsiders about her
there are those who will persist in in
vading every sick room they can reach
regardless of the condition of the pa
tient or the probability or lack of
probability that they may be of any
service It often happens that it is the
least useful and most tactless women
of a community who are most active
in their attentions to the afflicted Such
visitors seriously handicap the efforts
of the physician and nurses and un
doubtedly cause many a death It is
astonishing to witness the recklessness
of most families in regard to this phase
of the care of their sick Unless a pa
tient is actually in articulo mortis the
country doctor does not like to endan
ger his popularity by ordering the arbi
trary exclusion of visitors Without
his commands to back them up the
family that attempts the innovation
invites and gets the ostracism of the
neighborhood for no short time I
would not be thought to decry the good
sensible self denying neighbor nurse
who in almost all rural communities
and in homes of slender means every
where must supply the place of the
trained nurse when the home force is
not sufficient to properly care for a pa
tient God alone knows the extent of
her usefulness or can adequately re
ward her Only cheerfully sympathetic
society is a benefit to convalescents
and that kind like medicine only at
proper intervals and in right amount
In fact so much depends upon the
mood and manner of the visitor that
one might almost advise the patient to
observe the caution that is affixed to
some prescriptions Shake well before
taking
How Mathews Pawnod a Spoon
Charles Mathews was well known
among his friends and admjrers for his
remarkable powers of rapid imitation
and characterization
He was invited once with his man
ager and two others to dine with a citi
zen who though he carried on a pawn
brokering i business was an amusing
fellow It seems he kept but one as
sistant and during the dinner hour
the host was called out of the dining
parlor at the back of the shop to at
tend a customer
Mathews altering his hair turning
up his collar and putting on another
mans hat of course with suitable
change of countenance took a large
silver gravy spoon from the table ran
into the street and entering one of the
little boxas that universally shield one
customer from another at pawnbrok
ers counters pledged to his unsuspect
ing host his own piece of plate and re
turned to his place at table as the
pawnbroker re entered the room un
conscious of the joke
Modesty is nsver ashamed of uncov
ered face
