“LIFE’S BRIEF CANDLE.”
After Appomattox and the settlements oi tlie succeeding
few weeks, the Union soldiers of Grant's P.nd Sherman s armies
held a grand' review in Washington.
A hundred and fifty thousand of them in close ranks passed
before the then president and the great soldiers who led them
to victory.
An English military expert watched the review and some
weeks later expressed the belief that it was the most superb
army on earth. He said the armies of Europe were better
dressed ami in motion made a more perfect machine, but there
was a litheness, a careless self-confidence, an apparent in
difference to whatever might come, which he had never seen
represented by massed soldiers before and which he did not
believe any other soldiers could imitate.
A few weeks ago there was a review at the same place
of most of all remnants of all the Union soldiers who have sur
vived the friction of fifty years of peace. All told they repre
sent but 33 per cent of those who made up that other army,
and the tiger step and joyous faces of the former column have
changed to the limp of the old and' the dulled eyes and snowy
liair that come with the years.
And the leaders, where are they? Grant has been asleep
on the heights above the Hudson for thirty years; Sherman in
a cemetery at St. Louis, Sherdian at Arlington, with Porter and
Crook near by in their narrow couches—of all not one remains
save Miles.
Only fifty years, but all those illustrrious names are already
but dim memories to a majority of their countrymen.
The president who lived then and all the great souls who
surrounded him with five presidents who hove succeeded to the
high office since, have vanished'.
Contemplating it all men should be impressed with the
thought that this life is about the frailest of earthly things
and what man has to do should be done at once, for each one
there may be no tomorrow.
“Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.”
EVERYTHING FOR PEACE.
The modern cry that we should do everything for peace is
right, only some people do not interpret it right.
If a ruffian fuyy of benzine, becomes noisy and dangerous, in
the interest of peace he should be knocked' down it necessary
and put in the calaboose until sober.
If, down on the border, peaceable ranchmen are being
murdered or kidnapped and their little homes looted, in the
interest of peace United Staato dragoons with carbines and
machine guns should chase them to and across the Rio Grade,
shoot and keep shooting until peace can be secured' through
removing those who would, if they could, make peace iniT
possible.
Tf blatherskites preach treason and anarchy on the street
comers, they should be taught the music of hammers on a rock
pile until they decide that they have no ear for music and to
escape it are willing to emigrate.
If Great Britain continues to insist upon breaking the peace
of the seas by holding up and looting American ships, sailing
under the American flag, then the next merchant ship that goes
out should be convoyed by a dreadnaught that peaceful sob of
tmo liPTip.pforth be undisturbed.
Peace is the greatest of blessings, so great indeed that when
jeopardized it is worth fighting to maintain it.
And the srongest guranaty of peace that a nation can possi
bly secure is, by its acts to convince outside nations that if any
power seeks to disturb that peace, that power will have to pay
with costs and damages added for the offense.

The public schools of the United States are intended to
more perfectly prepare children for the world’s business, and
they are open to the children for the world’s business, and they j
are*open to the children of all creeds and no creeds, and hence
cannot teach the principles of any creed. They should be
made as perfect as possible and the cost is a secondary consid
eration . They supplied all the school education that our great
est men ever obtained.
Past fall the women wore their transoms low; now they are
battening the lattice and wickerwork with heavy scarfs. We
lan e been tohl that transparent stockings still prevail, however.
In the month of March, 1242, it was decided at a special con
vention of husbands in Venice that women could not be ex
pected to be consistent in dress. The wisdom of the ancinets
remans our risk of refuge—and subterfuge.
Masculine discussion of the coming marriage of Presi
dent Wilson is useless. The women are doing the subject
full justice.
Perhaps it is the proximity of Thanksgiving that makes so
few among us pro-Turks.
