Up town'in 1 sparsely settled dis- tric^tbere is a large, open lot over grown with weeds, where work horses, belonging to people in the rep- dur- neighborhood are allowed' to feed and roll on Sundays. At one end of the lot, roughly built out of old boards and stones, is a little hovel inhabited by a fam ily of poor people, the father ap parently a tramp. In front of this “cottage” a pole about ten feet high was planted, and on it fastened a long string with many knots, apparently a col lection of cords from the butcher or grocer. Half way up this improvised flag pole hung a tiny .flag about 9 by 12 inches. In that tiny flag the passerby, who happened to glance at the hovel, could read the truest patriotism and personal love which came straight from the loyal little >hearts of the children who had placed it there.

Out of an enrollment of 2,000,- 000 officers and men, it., appears that one-fourth of this number was foreign birth, distributed among thq various nationalities as follows: Germany, 175,000; England,50,000; British America, 50,000; Ireland, 150,000, and oth er countries, 75,000, making in all 500,000 foreigners enlisted on the union side. In view of this showing is it any wonder that the result of the war was inevitable? The marvel of it all is that that the south with only 600,000 men enlisted during the entire service, succeed ed in keeping such an army at bay for four long years. To-day the records of the government will show that on the federal pension rolls there are more union veter ans enrolled than there were* sol diers mustered in the Confederate ranks, and still there are more who want to get on. This statement is made without any. feeling of bitterness. We all rejoice that the war is over and that peace has come back again, but since the south lost in the struggle it is something of an unc tion to the wounded pride of the old.veterans who wore the gray to know just how it was. But The Army and Navy Jour nal goes on to give some addition al statistics which will probably interest our readers and which suggest no invidious comparison. Forty-eight per cent, of the sol diers in the union army were farmers, 27 per cent were me chanics, 16 percent were laborers, 5 per cent were professional men, and 4 per cent were miscellane.ons. There is just one thought which occurs to us in this connection. If 48 per cent of the soldiers who composed the rank and file of .the union army were farmers, it is probable that the same figures are approximately true of the con federate army, and this being tak en for granted, it follows that the country is indebted to the ’’farm ers in greater measure than most of us have been inclihed to sup pose and that besides being our mainstay and support in time of peace, they have also been our protection in time of war. Let us bear this fact in mind when we are tempted to forget them. Another interesting fact brought out by this same authority is that the average height of the union soldier was 5 feet 8 inches. Un fortunately we have no way of getting at such statistics, in re gard to the confederate army. We never had time to take them.

Of the team they were driving one was a steady reliable old gray mare,the other a fractious, balky- black horse. On the way the wag on was stalled and the black horse sulked and refused to pull. “What’ll we do father?” said the younger man. “Well,” said the father, “I guess we’ll have to lay the gad oft the old gray.” .That homely compliment to women: “The gray mare’s the better horse” suggests how often when there’s an extra strain to be borne it is laid on the woman’s back. How often she breaks down at last under the added weight of some “last straw.” Women who are dragging along wearily through life can gain real strength by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi cal Discovery.

Representc'itive Steed, of Taylor, has succeeded in doing more for the farmers of Georgia" by the passage of his fertilizer tax bill than any member of the present legislature has yet accomplished, says the Atlanta Journal. Mr. Steed’s bill went through the House by a vote of 109 to 0, and this splendid victory for the far mers was due to the able manner in which the bill was presented and managed by the gentleman from Taylor. Under a recent ruling of the courts fertilizers were held to be merchandise and,-therefore, taxa ble under the laws of Georgia. The manufacturers having sold the fertilizers to the farmers were thus enabled to escape ‘the pay ment of taxes on their goods, while the farmers were made to pay it as soon as it came into their possession. The v manifest injustice of this and the hardship thereby forced upon the farmers of the state at once appealed to Representative Steed, and he promptly framed a hill to meet the situation. His bill provides that fertilizer used or to be used for agricultural pur poses shall not'be returned for taxation where the land on which such fertilizer is to be used has already been returned for taxes, thus entireh 7 relieving the farmer of a very onerous burden.—Ex.

Beckham, of Kentucky, for the return to the state of W. S. Taylor, The Com moner, Mr. Bryan’s paper, says: “If a republican cannot be tried in a democratic state, will the re publicans insist that a democrat could have a fair trial in a repub lican state? If the reasons pre sented by Governor Dubin are sound, then it is perfectly safe for a republican to kill any democrat ic executive and flee to a republi can state, and if democratic gov ernors act on the same principle, it is safe for a democrat, to kill a republican official and then flee to a democratic- state . In other words, the position taken by Gov ernor Durbin, if accepted as s precedent, invites a reign of law lessness, and ought to .alarm the friends of law and order, regard less of political affiliations.” The Rev. O. F; WELLS, of Villa Ridge, 111., says: “Your trial bottle of Asthmalene received in good condition. I cannot tell you how thankful I feel for the good de rived from it. I was a slave, chained with putrid sore throat and Asthma for ten years. I despaired of ever being cured. I saw your advertisement for the cure of this dreadful and tormenting disease, Asthma’ and thought you had overspoken- your selves, but resolved to give it a trial. To my astonishment, the trial acted like a charm. Send me a full size bottle.” Rev. Dr. Morris Weclisler, Rabbi of the Cong. Bnai Israel. New York, Jan. 3,1901. l/rs. Taft Bros’.

The Kansas City Journal tells of a physician in Russell, Kan., who complained to the editor of the local paper that the doctor’s name was not mentioned in the announcement of births. “I’ll in sert it hereafter on one condi tion,” replied the editor. “What’s that?’ ’ asked the physician. “That I shall also mention your name in connection with the deaths.” The physician thought the matter over and concluded that he didn’t care to have his name printed in con nection with births, anyway. The Mobile (Ala.)

They are all northerners, but they bar out the negro, not only from the table but from any sort of association with them.” The backers of the state fair in Savannah,after contributing twen ty or thirty thousand dollars early in the year, have had to go down in their pockets after fifteen thous and more to meet the deficit.
