Reveille at Five.
Corporal Abe Tyler, crawling out of
his warm nest to answer roll call on a
blizzard morning in January, 1804, In
Cast Tennessee, remarked:
“When I get through with this war
after I finish it up all right—I’m going
to hire that bugler to come and blow
reveille for me at my house every
morning at 5 o’clock.”
"Wherefore wouldst have your sere
nade at such an unseemly hour, kiud
sir?” said Tom Grogan, his bunk mate.
“So that I can stick my head out of
the winder and tell that bugler to go
to hell.”
A REQUIEM.
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me He.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here ho lies where he longed to be;
Home Is the sailor, home from the sea.
And the hunter home from the hill.
—Robert Louis Stevenson.
Close Quarters.
Two Irishmen were starting west in
a sleeping car. Terry bad never been
In one before, so - his friend Dennis
generously gave him the lower berth,
while he himself climbed Into the up
per. After awhile Dennis, thinking it
might be well to see whether his friend
was all light, leaned over and asked,
“And how are ye gettin’ on down
there, Terry?”
“Sure, Dlnnis, I’m havin’ the divil
of a time gettin’ In me little ham
mock.”—Lippincott’s.
Carlyle on Will.
A man without a purpose is no man.
The weakest living creature, by con
centrating his powers on a single ob
ject, can accomplish something. Bless

him ask no other blessedness.
Get Their Eyes Open.
A Democratic mass meeting in the
campaign of 1904 was attended by a
small boy, who had four young pup
pies for sale. A man, approaching the
boy, asked, “Are these Parker pups,
my son?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, then,”
said he, “I’ll take these two.”
About a week afterward the Re
publicans held a meeting at the same
place, and among the crowd was the
boy and his two remaining pups, ne
was approached by a Republican and
asked, “What kind of pups are these
you have?” “They’re Roosevelt pups,
sir.”
The Democrat who had purchased
the first two happened to be In hearing,
and broke out at the boy, “See here,

Sir Walter Saott’s Last Effort.
At nn advanced period of life Sfr
Walter Scott, struck with misfortune,
entered into nn engagement to liqui
date by his literary exertions a debt of
£128,000. .Scott staked his character
and reputation upon the fulfillment of
his last engagement. He entered with
characteristic ardor upon his task, nnd,
amid the pressure of increasing age
and Infirmity," never lost sight of his
anticipated reward. .* ■
In seven years Scott had paid all but
one-sixth of his enormous load of debt.
The prize was within view. Independ
ence seemed almost in ids grasp, but
lie had overtasked his strength, and dis
ease, soon to be followed by death,
came, like an armed man, and closed
the superhuman struggle.
He Was Downstairs.
At a recent dinner In London the
conversation turned to the subject of
lynching in the United (States. It was
tlio general opinion that a large per
centage of Americans met death at the
end of a rope. Finally the hostess
turned to an American who had taken
no part In the conversation and said:
“You, sir, must have often seen these
affairs.”
“Yes,” he replied; “we take a kiud of
municipal pride in seeing which city
can show the greatest number of
Jynchlngs yearly.”
“Oh, do tell us about a lynching you
have seen yourself,” broke in half a
dozen voices at once.
“The night before I sailed for Eng
land,” said the American, “I was giv
ing a dinner at a hotel to a party of
intimate friends when a colored waiter
spilled a plate of soup over the gown
of a lady at an adjoining table. The
gown was utterly ruined, and the gen
tlemen of her party at once seized the
waiter, tied a rope around his neck
and at a signal from the injured lady
swung him Into the air.”
“Horrible!” said the hostess, with a
shudder. “And did you actually see
this yourself?”
“Well, no,” admitted the American
apologetically. “Just at that moment
I happened to be downstairs killing
the chef for putting mustard In the
blancmange.”—-Everybody’s.
Potter’s Good Angel.
. John Potter was a plain, hardwork
ing carpenter who, just before his en
listment In a regiment which was aft
erward assigned to Stonewall Jack
son’s command, had married a pretty
young girl of Staunton, Va. Jackson's
men never had much play or rest, and
when the first battle came they were in
it, and so on to Appomattox. John Pot

who “didn’t know what fear was.” He

face to face. He said he was artvays
"scared to death” in battle, but he had
a curious way of showing it. When the
battle was joined and blood and ruin
were everywhere, then, wherever the
front rank of danger and fighting
lu his regiment, there was John Potter,
with shaking legs, pale face and tears
running down ills cheeks, ready to ad
vance with the first and staying with
the last that retreated. Then and there,
without shout or boast, firing steadily,
lie did fiis duty until tlio last shot had
been fired. When picket duty demand
ed special reliability, he was sent. He
might have moaned inwardly, but he
never tried to escape. Once (I was 3
captain then), when he was complain- salt!
ing of his own cowardice, I to
him: “If you are half as afraid in bat
tle ns you say you are, how can you
keep from running away? I couldn’t.”
“Why, captain,” he replied, “do you
think I’d disgrace that little wife I left
at home for half a dozen such ‘or’nary’
lives as mine?”—II. K. D.

Would You Live Forever?
Frederick the Grqjt had a philo
sophic indifference to ejeath—in others.
In one of his battles a battalion of
veterans having taken to' their heels,
he galloped after them, bawling:
“What do you meau, you cowardly
