the glorious Major General James B. Mc

meeting for the eleventh time. No man
stands higher In the esteem of the Army
of the Tennessee than Major General
Dodge, who, in spite of his seventy-five
years of strenuous and Illustrious life. Is
,Uu.i, uu vigorous, bo is jvtajor uen-
ral Howard, who celebrated his seventy
Ixth birthday anniversary at Council
Bluff a November S. The thirty-sixth annual
meeting of the society was notable from
the fact that but five general officers of
the old Army of the Tennessee were prea
. ent. They were Howard. Dodge, John C.
Black of Illinois, John II. Stlbba of Iowa
and Bamuel Fallows of Illinois. True there
waa a host of colonels, majors, captains

In the glamor that surrounds the name of

Mrs. Tucker; Father Thomas Ewlng Sher-
man, son of General W, T. Sherman; Ma-
Jor General Ford D. Grant, son of General
TJ. 8. Grant, and the distinguished Arch-

Incere reverence paid than to Mra. Logan,
'of whom it was so happily said: "She Is
here with the snow of winter In her hair
and with the sweetness of springtime In

"Where can I flr.d a justice of the

Just at that moment Justice Ludlow came

the young roan. "I am James Chichester

"Why not stay in the car?" suggested

"Sure," said the Justice, and so he gave

"May the tire of love never exrlode."
aald he. by way of blessing. "May your
married life be a broad, level, macadamized
road, along which you will chug-chuy in

And the bridegroom was so pleased that
he took the Justice and the sertfvant to a

health.

MEMBERS OP THIS
of the committee were that the report was
absolutely groundless and was accompanied
with abundant record proofs. It. is hardly
necessary to state that the rerxrt of the
committee was unanimously adopted. The
discussion preceding the adoption of the
report was as animated as Interesting and
all remarks were full of the most Intense
loyalty to the name and fame of the great
commander.
Judge J. R. Reed of Council Bluffs, an
honored member of the society, spoke with
intense feeling on this aspersion upon the
memory of General Grant,
"Never for an instant did Grant ever
contemplate or dream of a dictatorship,
Had he done so 1.000,000 sabers were ready
to spring from their scabbards In defense
0f )aw, liberty, right, humanity and Jus-
tlce. Had Grant ever for a moment
dreamed of a dictatorship his time was
that dreadful night when the great Lin
coln lay dying from an assassin's bullet,
when members of his cabinet were writhing
In pain from the assault of murderous as
sassins and the government stood on the
verge of untold disaster. But Grant was
too great, too grand to let a dream- of am
bition disturb him for a moment. His
only thought was that of the people of the
United States. He had the supremest con
fidence In them and knew that no trial, no
emergency, no disaster, no sorrow, waa too
great for the American people to meet with
heroic fortitude and stern realization of
loyal duty."
No less emphatlo and alncere were the
remarka of Generals Dodge and Howard
vindicating the memory of General Grant,

too much for Miss Annie Slime and Jessw

turned another trick.
A conventional w.-dd ng had b-e:i planned
at Ihf homo of the bride's mother. The w ri

bidden. Rev. Charles W. Knight was to
perform the ceremony and he had already
taken out the necessary license.
The afternoon before the day of days the
young couple, with the bride's mother and
the clergyman, were d'lvlng lu Cherokee

All nature seemed to coru-pire to Inspire

"Oh, what a beautiful day!" sighed the
bridegroom. "Wouldn't It he wonderful to
be married right here?"
"Why not?" laughed the clergyman. "I

The bride blushed, but the ni' ther smiled.
"Then we will be married right now."

A Little GlrVa Lament.
They say thM sle-plng doga way He;
But little girls my not.
For wfien I tell the littlest fib
They scold an awful lot.
Sometlmea I wlah I waa a dog
So a I could lie a lot;
For when I've taken mother's Cako
I d rather sleep thun not.
Then when fhe'd say. "Now, Clementina
Did you do bo and so.'"
Id cloa ny eyea and snooze a bit
And growl out. "No; en. no!"
