brought to him then by Aasltant

duction in court.
GENUINE
Robert Henri, the "well known
artist of New York, was laughing
about an art hoax that had been
practiced in Paris on an American
millionaire.
"Millionaires of that type are so
easily hoaxed," he said. "They are
so ignorant of art.
"I heard recently of an elderly
millionaire, who was taking his
beautiful young wife abroad to have
her portrait painted.
" 'But why don't you try home
talent?' someone asked him.
" 'Oh,' he answered. 'We've tried
home talent in vain. Now we're go
ing over to see what the genuine old
masters can do.' " St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A NEAT DIFFERENTIATION
Senator Lodge, at a dinner in the
Back Bay' district of Boston, indi
cated very neatly the difference be
tween a statesman and a politician.
"A statesman," he said, "thinks of
the next generation; a politician of
the next election."
Madge "Who helped you make
such a fool out of that poor young
man?"
Marjorie "He did." Judge.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
Kankakee, 111., May 31, 1913.
Dear Mr. Bryan: So many of tho
readers of The Commoner havo
asked me to send the enclosed "ora
tion" to the Homo Department of
Tho Commoner. It Is such as un
usual and beautiful tribute on such
an unusual subject that so many
have asked me the last day or two
to send it to Tho Commoner.
The oration was delivered at tho
graves, or rather, at the Ilinois state
reformatory's burying ground, where
there are something like 110 inmates
burled, and where they sleep is in
the southwest corner of the ceme
tery of tho city of Pontiac, 111. The
speech has been delivered before
last Thursday, by the same speaker
at tho .Toilet prison's ground. I
had that one in my possession, so it
saves me the trouble to rewrite from
my shorthand report, for it is identi
cal with what was said at Pontiac.
Respectfully,
MRS. JAMES McENIRY.
403 Water St., Kankakee, 111.
Tho Inglorious Dead
The following unique and pathetic
speech was delivered Thursday even
ing, May 29, 1913, by M. M. Des
mond, who with his family and a
few friends visited the reformatory's
burying ground. By the request of
his friends he gave voice to this tri
bute, which we think too good and
tender to allow it to perish. Mr.
Desmond said:
"Shunned by tho living and sepa
rated from the resting places of the
honored dead, this spot is certainly
tho saddest, lonliest spot in all this
region. Yet here, if nowhere else,
the dead are equal. No proud monu
ments or saintly epitaphs are seen,
but plain white boards with black
lettering, suggestive of the markings
of sin on tho one clean lives. A
name which, perhaps, tho sleeper's
father never heard, a number telling
all the dishonor, and below, tho du
ration and end of the earthly pil
grimage. Nothing more.
"Here, no flags wave,no cannon
boom, and no throngs of fellow citi
zens come to pay their annual tri
bute. But forest trees unfurl the
flag of all nations, a solitary bird
trilling in the distance and a cricket
chirping in the grass relievo the
awful hush; and the sun ever rising
on the evil and on the good, pours
a flood of glory over the dreary spot.
No tolling Lell, no eulogy or chant
or plumed hearse is needed at these
funerals. No mother's tears ever
dropped into these graves.
"In far away fields and gardens,
where some who lie here spent a
happy childhood, the flowers they
loved have bloomed and withered
many years; but not a petal has ever
been wafted to this lonely abode.
"One here is faithful to the last.
Dear old Mother Nature receives her
sinful children and hides them in her
bosom, until at the command of her
God and theirs she must deliver!
them up.
"In the stillness of the night, the
yearning heart of many a mother
goes abroad in search of the boy who
has forgotten to write home.
Through city and forest, over prairie
and ocean it roams; but never does
that heart pause at the prison bury
ing ground.
"Hero lies a mere child laid low
In dishonor; and here, one -in the
very pride and strength of maturity.
And here can it be possible? Twenty-one,
twenty, nineteen, eighteen
years of age boys, mere boys.
"Where were their fathers, moth
ers, teachers, preachers, the humane
societies, when the whirlpool caught
tho careless young feet? I stand
aghast. Is this next a phantom
record? Here is the name of a youth
now living in Pontiac and just be
ginning to tamper with sin. How
will he fight? Will it be a lost battle,
that conflict with tho powers of dark
ness? Single handed and nlono tho
boy is fighting, soinotimcs bravely.
Thero aro passions, appetites and en
vironments which hold him with a
stronger grip than any hand-cuffs
that may come later.
"Tho people whoso flag waves so
proudly over its own dend is in
league against him; for do thoy not
deliver him, soul and body, to the
rum fiend, which has power to kill
and to cast him into a drunkard's
grave? Or perhaps, bo tho cause of
putting him behind tho bars yonder,
where maybo ho might gain a silont
victory and be placed here In a wln
dowless palace to rest. God only
knows.
"Within here all aro laid in such
a way that in rising, their opening
oyes will fall upon tho 'Lord appear
ing in tho east;' but, oh, what a
meeting! Will not tho pitiful judge
remember their weakness and let tho
curso fall aslant upon society that
allows the stuff to be sold that sends
behind walls directly or indirectly,
90 per cent of tho inmates of prisons.
"We hope for tho best. Sin is sin,
an'd God is holy. Shunned by the liv
ing and separated from tho honored
dead, here they will sleep until
awakened by that summons from
which there is no escape, to apepar
at that court whenco thero is no appeal."
