the morning of the 24th of Oc
tober I left Chicago on the special
train which hnd been chartered
by the Illinois military park commis
sion to convey the Invited guests and
members of the commission to Vicks
burg to dedicate the magnificent trib
utes which Illinois had paid to her
soldiery who participated In that mem
orable siege, which has been consid
ered by all historian* as 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 fortlflcutlons of Vicksburg. The
commission entrusted with this great
work deserve the thanku of the state
and of 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 Kamo, .vhtch crowns a
high point near the crater of Fort Hill,
which was sapped and mined by Gen
eral Logan and Ills command, the ex
plosion making such a wide break in
the skillful fortifications of the be
leaguered city thnt the Union troops
led by the Forty-fifth Illinois Infantry,
marched Into the city of Vicksburg and
hoisted the American Hag over the
state house of that city on the Fourth
of July, 1863.
The surrender of Pemberton to Gen
eral Grant was one of the most Impor-

expressions of patriotism than Illinois'
noble governor, Hon. Charles &. De-
neen.
The oration of Hon. Mr. Calhoun was
remarkable In 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.
Tho Temple Itself Is the finest on the
globe, expressing artistically the ven
eration for the noble Jiving 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 mldat of this desperate
struggle. Approached by marble steps
to the portico which adorns the en

distinguished theYnaelves during the

are bronze tablets upon which are en
graved the number of each regiment,
thus Immortalising 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 during bravery, will also
commemorute the names and deeds of
these gallant men by monuments and
markers upon tho ground which they
occupied. To those who have not vis

(Copyright, 1908, by Amerlcan-Jour
. nal-Examhicr.)
To gro-y old Is never an attractive
thought to a woman. Young girls
think of It as a dreadful goal, In n re
mote period; and matrons approach
that goal by gradual steps, and often
arrive at Old Ladyhood Station wltlh-
out knowing it.
The first time u woman hears herself,
referred to as “The Old Lady" Is said
to mark an epoch of sorrow In her
life, which can never be forgotten. I
mean when the reference la frank and
sincere, not Jocular.
Many men have the habit of refer
ring to young'wlvcs by that term: but
that only accents tho youth of a very
young woman, as a - grandma's cap
makes a youthful face more piquant.
But to be seriously railed for the first
time. In the terms of greatest respect.
“The Old Lady," even with an endear
ing prefix. Is another thing.
Perhaps the reason for this feeling
so prevalent with both men and wom
en, this dread of knowing that they are
regarded as Old Ladies and Old Gen
tlemen, Is not because the years are
no terrible, but because the old men
and women we know are, aa a rule,
so terrible, so bitter In their judgments,
so severe In their Ideas, and so lark
ing In sympathy with the vory faults
and weaknesses they possessed when
young. There are beautiful exceptlone
—but they are exceptions to the gen
eral run, I fear, of elderly people.
The following letter Is somewhat #x
treme In Its accusations against old U
dies, but the writer has evidently suf
fered much st their hands, and his In
dignation hns accumulated until It be
came a tidal wave;
"Won't you please taka the old la
dles by the ears and scold them?
Business has taken me among them
a great deal, anil I am amazed and
disgusted at thetr foolish an • sinful
ways.
"Isn't It possible to have put In the
prayers of every church 'to grant we
may grow old gracefully and peaceful-
ly.'
"Old folks are more trying than the
most peevish Infant.
"They hate every one whose Ideas on
religion differ from their own, dsllber'
ately misconstrue every good Intern
lion and positively crucify a young WO'
man of good looks and animation.
"They are not lovable, they are not
affectionate, they gossip dreadfully and
their natures are mean and Conniving.
This Is far more noticeable among old
folks In smaller towns.
"How is It their religion has not
made, them a gentle benediction? It
has some, but they are distressingly
few."
If this letter seems unjust, alt down
and try to recall the names of the ad
mirable oh! ladles -of your Intimate ac
quaintance.
Do not Include those you simply know
tn an afternoon call; women of all ages
(past five years! rarely show their real
natures or habits to callers.
You must live under the roof with
them for several months to be really
capable of Judging them. Or you must
be at least on Intimate terms of friend
ship In the home where they abide.
Old men are no better, ' * “
a good time when the parents are over-
stern.
I recall only a few old ladles In the
Hat of all I have ever known who seam
to me the Ideal creatures old ladles
ought to be.
Life was sent u«, with Its trials and
sorrows, and hardships and pains. Its
Joys and pleasures and 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 poaeeaa this foundation
with Its corner-stone?
Alas and alas, that we can point to
so few; alas and alas, that rr> many
old ladles delight In gossip, and are
more cruel than the grave In their
Judgments of the young.'
An old lady should be aa attractive ns
an old tree. Her expression should ha
one of arrenlty. If her nature la full
or enthusiasm still, let It shine through
this serenity as the sun shines through
the haze of an Indian summer.
She should avoid aggressiveness and
overanfmatlon of manner; and life
ought to have taught her that repose
la more forceful than nervousness.
She should have a modulated voice:
her words should soothe and strength
en the listener; they should calm tho
paselon-tosaed souls of the young who
come to her for counsel and sympa
thy.
She should be the Universal Mother:
evety 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
tures and triumphs and realization.--,
she should have distilled a wonderful
elixir of loving sympathy, to give
thirsting souls to drink.
There must, too, be a humorous aide
to her nature, that she may be able tn
turn teara sometimes Into laughter; to
make the overserlous person marry at
his own expense and to smile at his
own worries.
Hhe should be as charitable aa God
Himself: ae patient as Time: as trust
ful as the Solar System, Chat leaves
Itself In the hands of Universal Law-,
If life has not made her all this she
has lived In vain.
Has life taught you this?
Are you treating other women's
daughters as you would like your own
treated by the world?
Are you an encouragement to the
struggling souls, a solace to the sad
ones, a strength to the weak ones of
earth?
If not, to what does your life of pre
tended Christianity amount, and what
will you say to the Giver of Life when
you are asked to “rash In?"
