LOGAN* (Copyright, 1908, by An’iericun-Jourmtl- Examlner.) the morning of the 24th of Oc tober 1 left Chicago on the special train which had been chartered by the Illinois military park commls- ! «lon to convey the invited guests and member? of the commission to Vlckx- burg to dedlcaU the magnificent trib utes which Illinois hau psld to her soldiery who participated in that mem orable elfjge, which has been consid ered by all historians a« the most re markable of modern times. Illinois appropriated $250,000 for the purpose of building one grand memo rial and erecting granite monuments upon the spot where her 79 regiments were stationed in that long line outside the fortifications of Vicksburg. The commission entrusted with this great work deserve the thanks of-the stute and ot all loyal people for the magnifi cent manner in which they have per formed their work. It would be impos sible to give a correct pen picture of the Temple of Fame, whldh crowns u high point near the crater of Fort Hill, which was sapped and mined by Gen eral Logan and his command, the ex plosion making such a wide break In the skillful fortifications of the be leaguered city that the Union troops led by the Forty-fifth Illinois Infantry, marched Into the city of Vicksburg and hoisted the American flag over the state house of that city on the. Fourth of July, 1983. The surrender of Pemberton to Gen eral Grunt was one of the most Impor tant events of the civil war, because it opened the way to the Gulf of Mexico by lifting the barrier which hud been laid across the Mississippi river by the many guns which were mounted on the river front of Vicksburg, called exprexHtan* of patriotism than Illinois' noble governor, Hon. Charles S. De- neen. The oration of Hon. Mr. Calhoun was remarkable lu every sentence and re plete with the spirit of brotherly love. The masterful way In which he dis cussed the vexed problem which the American people are to solve for Amer ican welfare claimed the.admiration of all his hearers and must bear rich fruit In the future. The Temple itself Is the finest on the globe, expressing artistically the ven eration for the noble living and dead who participated In the siege and cap ture of Vicksburg. No Grecian temple was ever more imposing In Its concep tion, standing on the highest point probably in the state of Mississippi, and In the very. midst of this desperate ntruggJe. Approached by marble steps to the portico which udorns the en trance, the Temple is niugnlftcent be yend description. In the Interior, in i frieze, just below the dome, chiseled In marble, are the names ot corps, di vision and brigade commanders who distinguished themselves during the siege. Beneath, around the entire walls, are bronze tablets upon which are en graved the number of each regiment, thus Immortallsing the heroism of the rank and file of that Grand Army. It is understood that Mississippi and Louisiana, whose troops defended the city with such daring bravery, will also commemorate the names and deeds of these gallant men by monuments and markers upon the ground which they occupied. To those who have not vis ited Vicksburg it would be Impossible for them to appreciate what a magnifi cent spectacle is presented, and it Is to be hoped that every American will visit this sacred shrine, where Federal and Confederate troops have joined hands across the bloody chasm, and who will vie with each other In the future in their loyalty nnd devotion to The Gibraltar of the Mississippi," nnd Iulurt . ,„.

There will never be any trouble with the men who really fought and followed the Confederate Hag to the end, as they realize that It was a fate ful venture.

Young ffirla think of it as a dreadful goal, In a re mote period; and matrone approach that goal by gradual atepa, and often arrive at Old Ladyhood Station wltlh- out knowing It. The Hrnt tlmo a woman hear* herself referred to a* "The old Lady" Is add o mark an epoch of sorrow fn her life, which can never be forgotten. I mean when the reference ta frank and sincere, not Jocular.

But to be »etiou*ly called for the flret time, In the term* of greatest respect, "The Old Lady,” even with an endear ing prefix, I* another thing. Perhaps the reason for this feeling so prevalent with both men and wom en, this dread of knowing that they ate regarded nk Old Ladle* *nd Old Gen tlemen, I* not because the year* ifre *o terrible, but Itecauee the old men and women we know are, aa a rule, terrible, so bitter In their Judgments, severe In their Idea*, and *o lack ing In sympathy with the very faults nnd weaknesses they ‘possessed when young. There are beautiful exceptions —but they nre exception* to the gen eral run, 1 fear, of elderly peopl*.

The people are of our noblest blood, warm-hearted, cordial, hospitable and alnce/e.

MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN. a good time when the parents are over stern, I recall only a few old ladles in the list of all I have ever, known who seem to me the Ideal creatures old ladles ought to be. Life wa* sent us, with it* trial* and sorrows, and hardships nnd pslns. Its Joys and pleasures nnd opportunities, ns a school In which we are to develop CHARACTER. The very foundation of character Is sympathy, and the corner stone charity. How many old ladles or old men do you know who possess this foundation with Its corner-stone? Alas and alas, that we can point to so few. alas and alas, that ir> many old ladles delight In gossip, and are more cruel than the grave In their Judgments of the young! An old lady should be as attractive ns an old tree. Her expression should be one of serenity. If her nature Is full of enthusiasm still, let It shine through this serenity as the sun shines through the haae of an Indian summer. She should avoid aggressiveness and overanlmatlon ot manner; and llte ought to have taught her that repose Is more forceful than nervousness. She should have a modulated voice; her words should soothe and strength en the listener; they should calm the passlon-tosaed aoula of the young who come to her for counsel and sympa thy. She should he the Universal Mother; every son and daughter she meets ap pealing to her sympathies and stirring the mother nature In her. Out of her own sorrows; disappointments, losses and despairs, out of her Joys and rap ture* and triumphs and realisations, she should have distilled a wonderful elixir of loving sympathy, to give thirsting souls to drink. There must, too, be a humorous side to her nature, that she may be able to turn tears sometimes Into laughter; to make the overserlnus person merry at hi* own expense and to smile at his own worries. Hit* should be as chsrltable as-God Himself; a* patient aa Time; as trust ful as the Solar System, that leaves Itself in the hands of Universal Law. If life has n jt made her all this she has lived In vain. Has life taught you this? Are you treating other women's daughters ae you would like your own treated by the world? Are you an encouragement to the struggling souls, a solace to the sad onea, a strength to the weak ones of earth? If not, to what doe* your life of pre tended Christianity amount, and what will you say to the Giver of Life when you are asked to "cash in?" HOTEL MANAGERS TO HOLD MEETING A meeting of the Atlanta Hotel Men's Association will take place Thursday night In the assembly room of the Pied mont.
