r X 1 MORNING ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1913 Keeping On Being Successful Would So-and-So keep on ad vertising his hats or Such-and-Such his shoes if what they have to sell wasn't backed by the right kiDd of quality? Merchants and manufacturers who come out and tell you all about their product -wouldn't keep on being successful unless they supported their advertising with their reputation. This is why you are nearly al ways safe in patronizing a bus iness that advertises. Now and then some voracious individual or firm tries to "put one over" on the public, but the success of such a house usually is short lived. If you see a manufacturer or a retailer advertising steadily and consistently in the best pa pers you may be sure his bus iness is successful. If his bus iness is successful his product must be good. Therefore watch the advertisements and buy accordingly. Distinction. - "A M f. "Look. Mother! There's the lady that belongs to the little dog next door!" Punch. LOCALJSRIEPS C. M.

JU Price Y FOR 8ALE BY JONES DRUG- COMPANY A WeeBit View A. Story For ' Memorial Day I TS only a wee bit view 1 na'e, but If a bonny one," said my old Scotch .friend cheerfully. She sat beside her window to her big cnsbloned chair, her crutches within easy reach, for she was very lame and hobbled about her four little rooms with great difficulty. I went to the window and looked out I saw the corner of a street and saw coming around the bend a little proces sion of children playing soldiers. They bad flags and a drum, and their voices sounded pleasantly as they marched by. "Aunty." i Inquired, "bow long have you been lame and unable to go about?" She replied cheerfully: "A matter of forty years and more, dearie. I took cold soon after the war, when my last laddie cam' home to die, and I never got over it. But I don't suffer so very much, and I take great pleasure in my boose and my fren's and my bonny wee bit view." Mrs. MacGregor smiled. She was a blghlander from Inverness, a large framed.' stately woman with black eyes and coal black hair, and always she wore a cap with large frills and a band of black ribbon the sort of cap Thank too. mv dabunq." ber countrywomen call a mutch. On her neck was folded a white handker chief, and her rusty black dress bung lu strnigbt folds. She bad very little to live on. but people belped ber deli cately, and she had only one fear in the world, that of living to be "a bur den" and of dying without leaving enough to bury her decently beside the laddies who lay six stalwart sons they bad been asleep in the cemetery. Three of them had died In the war; one had survived it and died when the peace summer spread its aureoles of beauty over the rejoicing land. Two bad since succumbed to disease. The old mother had seen them laid one by one in tbe plot, which was the only real estate to which she possessed a title deed. One would have expected her to be gloomy, but no! Aunty Mac Gregor was as bright as a May morn ing. Just then there came a, tap at the door. A tall young man stood there with a helpless look on his face and in his band a shirt which bad met with an accident in the wash. "The button is off the neckband, aunty." be exclaimed piteously, not noticing me. "Give it here, lad," said aunty, "and hand me my basket from the bureau. I'll put it right for you in a minute." "I don't know what I'd do If It wasn't for you, aunty." said the youth. "All's well with you. Johnny, I hope," said the old lady as she returned the quickly renovated garment "Yes, aunty, thank you," said the boy as he departed with the shirt over his arm. "Aunty MacGregor," said a little girl, putting her head in at the door, "mamma wants to know how much Ipecac and squills she must give Bob by. He's threatened with the croup." Tbe requisite dose was mentioned, and the child flew back to her apart ment to tell her mother. Aunty's judgment I found, was relied on im plicitly by her neighbors in such emer gencies as illness ot burns or bruises. While 1 sat. with her five different people came in on as many errands and not one was sent away. To each were given In turn aid, coun sel and comfort As I was ready to take my leave up to the humble door drove a fine equipage, a coachman In livery, two splendid thoroughbred horses such a carriage as the mil lionaire's daughter drives about in. Out sprang tbe child of wealth and luxury, a beautiful golden haired girl, dressed In tbe height of fashion, her hands full of violets and lilies of the valley. Aunty MacGregor introduced ber young friend with pardonable pride. "Miss Ruth MacLean ye'll ken her feyther. na doot She's aye ready to do some sweet thing for the like o me!" . "The like o you. dear old friend," es elalmed tbe girl, "when I'm not fit to tie your shoes, you're so patient and I so flighty and so easily vexed. Don't speak that way. please. I came to bring you these flowers and to tell you that tomorrow will be Memorial day. Ah. you knew It dear heart! And I'm going to tbe cemetery to decorate your plot I'll come first and show you tbe wreaths and tbe baskets, and you shall tell me first what to do with each and where to put them. I'll do it exactly as you'd do It for your own self If you could go." "Thank you. my darling," said Aunty MacGregor. with a catch In her voice. "Tbe Lord bless thee and keep thee. Tbe Lord reward thee for thy good ness. The Lord lift up his counte- nance upon thee and give thee peace." "Aunty." aid the girl, pausing at tbe door and returning, "you haven't ask ed me to slug for yon and for this lady, but I'm going to do it nevertheless. "The day may be long and lata, love, But the evening time draws on. There la rest (or the worn and weary And love (or the lonely one. "And the Fa ther" a house la waiting. Ita doora will wide unfold For the pilgrim who conies with a timid knock To the beautiful gates of gold." She sang like a bird, and then with a swift, bird like motion she was away "Puir lassie!'1 said Auntie MacGreg or, standing by the aid of her crutches for the wee bit of view of her favorite, which the window afforded. "She has her ain troubles a stepmlther and a fause lover but she'll win through And. aye, I tell her that she mauna marry any man she canna luve with all her heart and that tbe right mao'll surely come." "Is she In love, aunty?" I asked. "I am not permitted to say." replied aunty, with reserve, "but from what I've seen 1 think she'll be happy yet the winsome maiden that she Is. Bless her, she'll not let my brave laddies miss tbe dowers on Memorial (day: It's a Joy to me. they lying there asleep, with tbeir work all done, that when a May time comes the kind hand o friendship strews tbe cover lid above them with the fairest flowers. They do rest from their labors.'" I left Aunty MacGregor. feeling that much of heaven was compressed into the "wee bit view" which was all she would in this life have from ber win dow. After all. It Is tbe spirit we bring to our daily experiences which makes earthly life blessed or baneful. Memorial day with its flowers may come oftener than once a year to those brave soldiers of either sex of whom it shall one day be said, "They have fought the good flgbt: they have- fin ished their course; henceforth there Is laid up for them a crown of glory that fadeth not away."

"The grandest sight of my war ex perience." declares a grizzled veteran, "was during Gordon's sortie at Peters burg. The Union batteries on the flanks and rear of the breach made it so hot for Gordon that he sounded retreat But the getting out of a trap is the hardest part of it It was at this crisis that I witnessed that wonderful sight a Confederate officer on a white horse riding at the" blazing cannon at full tilt 1 stood near a gun in Fort Haskell which was doing more than its share of slaughter when the commander of the battery called out to a knot of us, part of a rifle com pany, 'Shoot the man on the white horse!' One, after another our best marksmen squeezed in between tbe gun and the parapet wall and took aim through the embrasure. , After several had put in their shots the or derly sergeant tried it and came back crestfallen. Handing me his rifle, be exclaimed, with a laugh: 'Here, you. Vet! Fetch down the man on the white horse!' "With a reputation to sustain 1 ac cepted the challenge. When I drew a bead on the gallant horseman I saw that be was leading a band of men back from the main line direct upon our guns. Shells tore the ground in front of him or exploded overhead, and invisible case shot cut down his fol lowers, but be held bis seat like a statue of war. Firing at random" 1 crawled back, banded the sergeant bis rifle and said: 'He is too brave. Let him go!' He was Anally shot dead by a bullet through the temple within thirty yards of our fort" I-!"1"I"I"I"I"I"I-I"I"I-!"I-I-I-M-H"I"1"M-I"I- i GENERAL GRANT HAD ? MARVELOUS MEMORY. $ i"i"i"i":"i"i"i"i-i--i"i-i--i--i"i"i"i"ii-i--i-t--i-i-. General Grant's retentive memory was simply marvelous, more especially to those most closely associated with him from day to day. In the midst of absorbing thought and with apparent ly unobservant manner bis quick ear and eye seemed to bear and notice ev erything, and two weeks or months later the slightest details had not es caped his attentiou or memory. This power was unmistakably demonstrat ed in a game of whist with his guest Major General Doyle of the British army, between Baltimore and Fortress Monroe. Two staff officers completed the players. With General Doyle at his right it was simply amazing to no tice Grant's ability to discover strate gic points. He never failed to remem ber every card that had fallen, whence it came and who was to deliver to him all remaining, which he scooped in as a matter of course, although he never seemed in the least absorbed In the game. He was indeed an enigmatic composition in this as well as in other respects. National Magazine.

R. ESCORTS BOSTON, Mass., Mlay 29. The Gate City Guard of Atlanta, Ga., which is making a tour of various northern cities, arrived in Boston this morning and was entertained at luncheon by the Ancient and Honor able Artillery company. Tomorrow the visitors will act as escort to one of the local G. A. R. posts at the Mem orial Day exercises on Boston Com mon. . ..... . . . The Chivalry of General Grant a FTER tbe Chattanooga campaign J and the victory of Grants ar mles at Missionary Ridge that part of the country was de serted by the Confederates. One day Grant and his staff officers, a party of about fifty mounted soldiers, while rid ing about the country came upon an old log cabin with smoke issuing from the single chimney. An orderly was sent over there to see if the party could be supplied. He came back and stated that there was no one there ex cept a middle aged woman and that she declined to say whether she could or could not supply the party. General Grant immediately started across the field for the house, the staff officers galloping after hint The wo man met him at the door of her hum ble home and told him that she would not do anything for him nor for any other Yankees. Then General Grant said: "Madam, there is a state of war In our country. We cannot observe peace ful amenities. You will prepare dln- GENERAL OLYSSES S. GRANT. ner for my party, and we will pay for it or we will tike everything in sight cook tmr own dinner and pay you noth ing, tou may do as you please." ' "'Under sech circumstances," said the lone woman. "I'd be a fool to go broke." When the dinner was concluded and tbe horses had been cared for and they were all ready to depart General Grant said; "Now,- madam, you have fed us, and we are ready to pay you. It is very plain to all of us that yen are a Con federate through and through. I have here in my hand a bunch of Confeder ate money and in my other band plenty of Yankee money. You can have your pay in either kind of money." The money of f the Confederacy wasn't worth a dollar a barrel at that time. The woman knew it Her eyes filled for a moment but, she wiped them with her apron and proudly said: "1 will take the money of my own country, sir. of course." Then Grant counted out $250 in the money of the United States, laid it on the table beside that stout hearted wo man and, placing his hand upon her shoulder, said: "Madam. 1 am proud of you. I see in you the true spirit of American wo manhood. It is no wonder that Amer ican soldiers, south and north, make the best soldiers In the world. Tou have shown to us the spirit of the American womanhood of the Revolu tion, tbe spirit of the mothers at home that made stout the hearts of Wash ington's soldiers at Valley Forge and in all of their campaigns. You are not overpaid. .God bless you, madam, and bless your soldier . husband and sons also." An Incident of the War. The pickets of the Second Massa chusetts and Third Wisconsin made ar rangements with the "rebs" one hot afternoon to cease hostilities for two hours. Things went along charmingly for more than an hour, when a young officer appeared on the Confederate line and ordered the men to go to firing. "We can't do it sir." said the ser geant "We have agreed with the Yan kees to quit shooting for two hours. The time is only half up." "Sergeant, order the picket to begin firing at once." "I can't break my word with the Yankees, sir." "Then I will. Begin firing, every man of you." Not a man touched bis gun or start ed for the pits. The young officer seized a gun and shot at tbe Union pickets. That was the signal for our line to open fire. The balance of that day the Confed erate pickets In front of those two regiments didn't shoot to kill. Those who didn't shoot In the air separated the chunk of load from tbeir cartridges blanked tbem. That night a dozen or more of the pickets left their pits and crept into tbe Union lines, giving as their excuse the conduct of the young officer. Their haversacks were filled the next morn ing by the Massachusetts and Wiscon sin boys as thpy started on their Jour ney north Chicaeo Times-Herald. Made It Unanimous. A woman's rights woman, claiming that women would make better jurors than men, said: - "For instance, there's the story of the Gold Gulch nfurder. The Jury re mained out thirty-four hours. Then it filed back into the courtroom, very stale and 111 humored. " 'Gentlemen, what is your verdict?' said the Judge. .' 'Waal." sa id the foreman, 'eleven on ns Is for hangin', Jedge, yer honor, but the twelfth man sticks out for ac quittal, and there ain't no arguin' with him. He's a low down, no 'count rooster anyways, .and so we've decid ed to make our verdict unanimous by bangin 'em both.' "-Rochester Herald. THE REGIMENTAL COLORS. ' How a Tot Saved In Battle Led the Regiment Back to Town. fe.t the bombardment of Fredericks burg. Va.. during the civil war a Con federate soldier was taking sight for a shot at an enemy across yje street Just as bis fingers trembled on tbe trigger a little tbree-year-old. fair haired baby girl toddled out of an al ley, accompanied by a big Newfound land dog. and gave chase to a shell that whs rolling lazily down tbe pave ment. The soldier's hand dropped from the trigger.- There was the baby, amid the torrent of shot and shell, and on came the t-nemy. A moment and he had grounded bis gun. dashed out Into the storm, xwept his right arm around the child, gained cover again and, with the baby clasped to his breast and the musket trailed in bis left hand, was trotting after the boys up to Marye's heights. Behind that historic stone wall all those hours and days of terror that baby was tenderly cared for. Our boys scoured the countryside for milk, and conjured up their best skill to prepare dainty viands for ber little ladyship. When the struggle was over and the enemy bad withdrawn the Twenty first Mississippi, having held the post of danger In the rear, was assigned to the post of honor in tbe van and led the column. There was a long halt the brigade and regimental staff hur rying to and fro. The regimental col ors could not be found. Buck Denman stood about the mid dle of the regiment baby in arms. Snddenly be sprang to the front swung her aloft above his head, her little garments fluttering like the folds of a banner, and shouted. "Forward. Twenty-first here are your colors!" and without further order off started the brigade toward tbe town. Buck himself describes tbe last scene In the drama: "I was bolding the baby high, adju tant .with both arms, when above all the racket I heard a woman's scream. The next thing I knew I was covered with calico, and the woman fainted on my breast I caught her before she fell and, laying her down gently, put the baby in her "arms." MEMORIAL DAY.
