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.

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, you_rascal, didn’t you. tell .me .last —Hi M—iiir*i*’ir , i Meet me at Silver’s * * are’ 4 .

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 ter was not one of those rare heroes who “didn’t know what fear was.” He iUie.w_vgrv .well. but always met, it H . i f j ( .- » . SYLVANIA, SCREVEN COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MAY I#, 1907.

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. From Elba to Paris.
