WHAT THE REUNION
BROUGHT TO ME.
Rome 'l l ibune.
That confederate reunion
brought rare, sweet experiences to
me. The marching of the old grey
veterans on Broad street '■ent a
thrill through tlie blood that had
never been felt before
I have seen raanv gorgeous mili
tary precessions. The national en
campment at Washington in ’B6 was
a scene of plumes and pageantr\;
the Centennial of the Constitution
at Pmladdpbia in 1887 was cele
brated by a great gathering of
mi itia; the inauguration of Presi
dent Harrison in 1889 was mark
ed by a most elaborate military
procession. These were grand
occa-ims and the sight inspired
wonder and admiration.
But when the “boys of gre>”—
tbee old veterans of the sixties —
stepped along Broad street last
Thursday, to the stratus ot “Dixie.”
the "buckshot" climbed up and
down my spinal column,’’and there
was a stir in tny heart and a thrill
in my blood that had never been
there before.
I cannot describe the feeling.
But I know it glorified and sancti
fied the whole being; it gave my
spirit a refreshing and set in motion
new and holy impulses that
seemed to have been sleeping up to
that hour. It was anew revelation
of old things, and gave me a higher
conception of th? rufleriugs and
sacrifices of the past, and of the
grandeur and glory of the cause
that was lost!
The reunion ‘brought another
joy that was even sweeter than the
sight of old veterans marching to
the music of “Dixie.” Among
that great throng of grand men
was one who to me was pre-erni
nent. A modest old man be was,
with bent form and furrowed face
and gray hair, now nearly 80 years
old; but with loyal heart and un-
conquered spirit, still loving his
com <@des and the} cause for which
theT’fought with yearning tender
ness—my own father.
How glad and proud I was to
have him with me; to walk beside
him and feel the pressure of his
arm; to see him meet and greet the
boys and note the flash of eye and
glow of face as old friendships were
renewed and old memories recalled!
And then at evening, on the
veranda of our home, to have him
sit with us as the honored guest
and hear him tell of the old days
that tried men’s souls, was a privil
ege and a delight that cannot be
put into words.
When bed-time came I whisper
ed to my wife that I wanted to
sleep with him, as I used to in
childhood days. With a woman’s
quick perception, she understood
this desire, and slipped away to
piepare the room and fix the bed,
so everything would be fresh and
sweet for this guest who comes to
us so rarely, but who is so deeply
loved. And after we were in bed
she came again, softly and quietly,
to- make sure we were snug and
comfortable and to kiss us good
night!
After the stir and excitement of
the dav the old veteran slept well.
In the far hours of the night I
awoke and fouud his arm about me,
as it used to be when I snuggled
close to him in the long past baby
days. I could hear his breathing
and knew he was sound asleep. I
think he must have dreamed about
his boy and placed his arm uncon
sciously about me.
Memory got busy then, and I
recalled the first time I had ever
seen my father to remember him.

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis

four, after the little family was in
bed, old Rover gave an unusual
bark, and tny mother’s quick ear
caught a familiar foot fall on the
walk; and .she was up like a flash.
I remember how I was suddenly
awakened, with ihe glad exclama
tion, “Children, your father’seome!’’
And I was caught up out of bed by
a tall, rugged'man, dressed in a
gray uniform aud w aring a cap,
who hugged me until I was almost
breathless, and called me his baby!
How grand he looked in niv child
ish eyes that night, and how I
i l ing to him in wonder and delight.
This was the father who had been to
war of whom my mother daily talked
and sung, and for whom she night
ly prayed, and who was to come
back some day to make us glad!
All this, and more, came rushing
back to me last Thursday night, as
I lay there in bed with that same
dear father’s arm about me in lov
ing embrace; and there came to me
koptSisn. of joy not often
vouehased to men in middle life. I
remembered the couplet:
‘•Backward, turn backward
Oil, Time in your flight.
And make me a boy again,
.1 list tor one night.
Aud to me the prayer of the poet
was fully realized; I was just a
child again, nestling happily
against mv father’s bosom!
No wonder the tears came in
that silent hour, aud the heart beat
fast and the blood leaped and
thrilled in my veins! It was to
me a happy time that bathed and
refreshed the soul, and brought
grateful thauksgiving that in the
ybars of mature manhood I could
still have him with me and could
still feel the pressure of his dear
old arms about me, and realize
that the thrill and glow of childish
love had been strengthened and
sanctified and made more sure by
passing years.
Do you wonder, then, that this
reunion has made me glad?

Healthy Mothers.
Mothers should always keep in
good bodily health. They owe it to
their children, Yet it is no unusual
sight to see a mother, with babe in
arms, coughing violently and ex
hibiting all the symptoms of a con
sumptive tendency. And why shcmld
this dangerous condition exift, dan
gerous alike to mother and child,
n hen Dr. Boswhee's German Syrup
would put a stop to it at once? No
mother should be without this old
and tried remedy in the house —for
its timely use will promptly cure any
lung, throat or bronchial trouble in
herself or her children. The worst
cough or cold can be speedily cured
by German Syrup; so can hoarseness
and congestion of the bronchial tubes.
It makes expectoration easy, and
gives instant relief and refreshing
rest to the cough racked consumptive.

The Rothschild*.
Meyer Anselm Rothschild, who is
regarded as the founder of the mil
lionaire family, died at Frankfurt in
1812. Today the Rothschilds—•
about thirty families—are estimated
to be worth over $600,000,000,
Eleven of the Rothschilds live in
Paris; they are the largest property
owners in that city and in France.
Whole streets belong to them. At
one time they put up the rents in
one of their streets so high that,
their houses remained empty, where
upon they put them at the service
of their employees. Some of the
most famous vineyards in France
also belong to them. Marriages of
cousins are very frequent in these
families.
Forty-three Years of Petroleum.
It is not yet half a century since
Colonel Drake discovered petroleum
on the waters of Oil creek, near Ti
tusville, Pa. The total production
of crude petroleum from 1859 to
1902—forty-three years—has been
no less than 1,165,280,727 barrels.
Of this output Pennsylvania and
Now York contributed 53.9 per
cent; Ohio, 24.3 per cent; West
Virginia, 11.3 per cent; Indiana, 3.9
per cent; California, 3.6 per cent;
Texas, 2.1 per cent, leaving .9 per
cent to be supplied by Kansas, Col
orado, Louisiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Indian Territory, Wyoming, Michi
gan and Oklahoma. Scientific

The Telescriptograph.
An Italian engineer now residing
at Brussels has, it is said, invented
an instrument which he calls the
telescriptograph,and which wall pro
duce in print all conversations held
over the telephone. If he has real
ly done this the doom of the type
writer has been sealed, since one
would then have only to talk into a
machine which would grind out the
typewritten letters as fast as they
were dictated.
A Long Drawn Out Salute.
An English warship recently ar
rived at Puerto Arenitas and salut

of Costa Rica two hours to answer

muzzle loader, which had to be al
lowed to cool after round. But
the salute was got through in the
course of the day.
