Sturdy Patriots Live Through Great Period
(Continued from rage One)
toane and Eleaser Wakeley formed' the trongnd
abiding friendship which has continued through
more than fifty years. After living on a New
York farm and for a while In Buffalo, then a 'vil
lage of $,000, the Wakeley family moved to Ohio,
where. In the Elyrla High school, young Wakeley
studied for two years. Then be took np.an In
vestigation of law and decided fie. liked It. tit was
admitted to practice In 1844, and as an unsuccess
ful democratic candidate for district attorney tot
fcU first touch of the raw edge of politics. Shortly
after he went to Wisconsin, and became a leader,
being for a time a partner of the late William P.
Vitas. It was from Wisconsin, holding aa appoint
tnect as federal Judge from President Franklin
Tierce, that he came to Nebraska, In, 1867. Aw
district attorney. Judge Doane was continually in
consultation with Judge Wakeley, and they proved
entirely congenial In tastes and Ideas good old-
fashioned democrats, with no frills or fads and no
tincture of demagogy. (
Wakeley Went Away, buk Came Back
Later Judge Wakeley returned to Wisconsin, -whre
he had before been highly honored as a
member of the legislature, both In bouse and sen
' ate, having been .president pro tempore of the
latter body, and also aa a member of the Board of
Regents' of the state university. On bis return to
the Badger state he once more became active In
politics and was sent to the legislature, represent
ing the district In which Madison Is located. His
party endorsed him for a supreme Judgeship, but
he felt be should not stand, since he served In the
legislature which Increased the salaries of the
Judges.
In 18S7 be came back to Nebraska and resumed
practice In Omaha. He' was one of the attorneys
for the Union Paclfio railroad. He also was a
member of the constitutional convention of 1871.
In 1883 be became a district Judge by appoint
ment of Governor Dawes, and waa later elected by
the people to the place, winning a re-election with
out opposition. Since 1891 he has been in private
practice, and keeps bla office hours aa regularly
as any young lawyer Just entering on his profes
sion. He Is by common consent conceded to be
the Nestor of the Nebraska bar.
It will be noted, from the foregoing, that the
Uvea of these two honored citizens of Nebraska
havo followed almost parallel lines through a long
series of years. Their example should prove an
Inspiration to all who will take note of It They
have lived strongly, cleanly, usefully; have grown
old almost Imperceptibly, and are still vigorous
and effective cltliena, taking a lively Interest In
every good work.
Judge Wakeiey's View or life.
Discussing the useful life. Judge Wakeley said:
"When the man who has had a large part In the
activities of life passes to his final account, the
world asks; Has he been a success? How much
did he leaveT It Is not always easy' to learn Just
what a man left but It Is always safe to say that
bo left all be bad. The world should be less con
cerned to know bow much he left, than to know
how he left 1L Did he leave It to be gambled
for on Wall Street? Did he leave It to spend
thrift helrsT Did he leave It to accumulate for
generations, far beyond the needs or welfare of
those whj Inherited it? Or, did he leave It to
charity, to mercy, and beneficence? Did he leave
It to Institutions founded to promote the objects,
and accomplishments which tend to the progress,
the comfort and the betterment of mankind?
If so, It is well. Yet, in the final balance of
merit the question ls,j must the larger credit be
given to the man of millions who from bis abund
ance gives for worthy ends; or to the widow who,
cf ber penury gives her mite, or Vhe nameless
rustic burled In the country churchyard?
Large waa his bounty, and bis soul sincere.
He gave to misery all he had a tear.
'
"And what Is the criterion of a successful life?
Does it mean only that a man has gained millions
that be does not need? That he has k won civic
honors, and moved in the high places of
the land? That be baa achieved fame and renown
for senius, or exploits that will live long in
history? That may be success, but It Is not alL
If he has helped the world by Invention, or dis
covery to better living, or greater comfort, or
higher opportunities; If be has helped towards
lessoning vice, cruelty, Injustice, Ignorance and
misery ever so little, be has been a benefactor.
If ho has been a cltisen whose life and example
have Inspired others, and tended to the Improve
ment and elevation of the community In right
living, and to struggles for better conditions and
higher alms, his life baa been a success.
"It la the sphere of life which may nave fallen
' to him, he has been faithful and earnest; If be has
searched for his duty, and done it; If he has met
the calls and responsibilities of life as they arose,
according to hla judgment, and bis conscience; If
he has been a good father, a good husband, a true
and reverent man, bla life bas been successful,
and worth the living. He may not have lands or
goods to leave to bis children, but be is blame
worthy if be does not leave them the heritage of a
good name, and the record of a Just life."

Before this law can take affect It will
be necessary for the government to secure

Recently at the Delgian town of Je-
mappes the unveiling of a memorial to
th rrenvb soldier who fell there on No
vember . 1791. brought to mind the
heroism of two youog French women who
made history In the early days of th
French revolution.
Theophll and Fellclte de Fernl.
daughters of a retired French ofllcer.
were taught to handle arm la childhood.
Aa womanhood approached they secretly
look part. dUguieed by uniform. In little
expeditions organised locally to haras
th Austrian outposts, tor but few regular
troopa could be spared to protect their
particular district.
la this may, says th uoodon Quean,
ao much experience waa c.tnod mat bui
learned to fight with the assurenc vl
old campaigners, and Dumourlts attach
them to his corps as voluntas'-, Thu
oommanded aa much respect aa ad
miration from th soldier; they were
compared to Joan of Arc in a d patch
and each received brevet rank aa ad
jutant generul.
They bad fared tha Prussians on Fretch
rround at Vatmy. near Cbalona-sur-Vlsrne,
the day before th republio was
proclaimed, but their Lasting reputation
waa woa on French field agauut th
Austrian. At Jemappea Dumourles mad
conspicuous use or their services aa aides
de camp, Fellolte, mounted on a bedecked
horse, was sent to charge th Austrian
line between th Dus d Cbartras who
became king aa Louis .Philippe and the
Due de Montpensler. Theophll engaged
an Austrian hussar In a hand to hand
fight and led him a prisoner to th com
manding of floor.
Their last exploit took place aooa after
th execution of Louis XVI; It waa at
th battle of Neerwlnden, where their ex
ample encouraged a dispirited column a
Dumourles'a soldier Ted defeated.
Dumourles. by tbl time dlegusted with
republican excesses and bent on setting
up a constitutional monarchy, waa ac
cused of treacherous conduct, and his
devoted follower went ever with him
to th Austrian camp. When th otr
cumstanoe of hla defection became
known th two atria gave up their com
mission. They were nvrthlea pro
scribed and exiled while th republio
lasted.
At first they Uved In hiding, but In th
face of destitution th old courage cam
to their aid. Fellclte got a post aa man
ager of a French bureau d loteri au
thorised by th government at Brussels,
and In her beat year ah mad aa much
as t.OUu franca Theophll went around
to fairs far and near selling toilet neces
saries. Th strain of sis yeara' loll waa
relieved when Fellclte married at. Van
dervallen, a Belgian officer of volunteer
whoa life ehe had saved on th field
of Anverlecht They set up housekeep

be difficult to any which of th sisters
showed greater courage oa the field, but
there can be no doubt that Theophll
responded more readily than did Fellclte
to tbe advantagea they enjoyed under
their father training. Theophll toe was

ery because a full list of ingredients composing it is printed there
in plain English. More than forty years of experience has proven
its superior worth as a blood-purifier and invigorating tonic for
the cure of stomach disorders and all liver ills. It builds up the
run-down system as no other tonic can in which alcnho is used.
The active medicinal principles of native roots such as Golden
Seal and Queen's root, Stone root and Mandrake root, Bloodroot
and Black Chcrrybark are extracted and preserved by the use of
chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine.
Sendf to Dr. R. V. Pierce at Buffalo, N. Y.t for fret booklet
which quotes extracts from well-recognized medical authorities
such as Drs. Bartholow, King, Scudder, Coe, Ellingwood and a
host of others, showing that these roots can be depended upon
for their curative action in all weak states of the stomach, accom
panied by indigestion or dyspepsia as well as in all bilious or liver
complaints and in all "wasting diseases" where there is loss of
flesh and gradual running down of the swengtn and system.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" , make a rich, pare blood and
ao Invigorates and regulates the stomach, liver and bowels,
and through them, the whole system. Thus all akin affections,
blotches, pimples and eruptions as well aa scrofulous swellings
and old open running sores or ulcers are cured and healed.
In treating old running sores, or ulcers, it is well to insure their healing to apply to thera
Dr. Pierce's All-Healing Salve. If your druggist don't happen to have this Salve in
stock, send fifty cents in postage stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Invalids Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., and a large box of the " All-Healing Salve" will reach
you by return post.
You can't afford to accept a secret nostrum as a substitute for this non-alcoholic,
medicine or known coKfPOsmON, not even though the urgent dealer may thereby
make a little bigger profit. Though he offers the substitute for a less price you
can't afford to experiment with your health. Go where they give you what you ask
