POEM5 SCIENTIST TO IMPROVE ON PRICKLY PEAR "The Blue and the Gray." By Francis Miles Finch. By the flow of tho Inland River. Whence the fleets of Iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver, Asleen are the ranks of the dead: Under the sod and the dew. Waiting the Judgment Day Under the one. the Blue. Under tho other, the Gray. Those la the robin gs of glory, Those in tne gloom or oereat All with the battle-blood gory. In the dusk of eternity meeti Under the sod and the dew. Waiting the Judgment Iay: Under the laurel, the Blue, Under the willow, the Gray.

With a touch impartially tender, On the blossoms blooming for aw: Under tne soa ana mo aew. Waiting the Judgment uay: Broldered with gold, the Blue.

No braver battle was won! Under tho sod and th dew. Waiting the Judgment Day: Under the blossoms, the Blue, Under tho garlands, the Gray. No more shall th war-cry sever, Or the winding rivers p rea. poems have been written by poets prac tically unknown, just as tho epoch mak ing Invention usually cornea from some brain not connected with Its special field of Industry. When Mr. Finch had completed his poetic fancy, he related the incident of the unselfish southern women to his friends, and read them the poem he had composed, and they advised its clr culatlon as tending to help along very materially the sentiment It expressed. He selected, aa the medium for this pur pose. "The Atlantic Monthly," and It appeared In the September number of that magaaina In 1867. When It was printed the author was given in the Index as "F. M. Finch," a name entirely unknown to literature. As contributors to the "Atlantic" at this time were such eminent names as Oliver Wendell Holmes, E. C. Steadman, James Russell Lowell, John G. Whlttler, Alice Cary, Theodore Tllton and other authors and poets well known In American liter ature. No contribution of any of these great literary lights' ever enjoyed great er popularity, or more widespread cir culation, than th verses of this then Tinknown poet. The time was barely ripe for suoh a display of non-sectional sentiment, with the conflict over only a little more than two years, and It was several years before It began to take a strong hold on tha public. By 1T1 It had be come almost universally known. The ro cMers who had suffered so much on e'ther aide, were th last to sanction th sentiment Th indignation of th northern soldiers was voloed by James M. Daliell. of th On Hundred and Blxteenth Ohio volunteers, who wrote an answer to l that wont th rounds of th press In that section. This feeling, however, gradually wore away, for another fore was at work along th line of love, fraternity, sym pathy and a reunited national family. Dansell's burning protest excited a tem porary furore, and has long been for gotten. "The Blue and th Gray" has survived, and with each year more nearly expresses th general publio sen timent as we all would have It exist. Mr. Finch was a graduate of Yale university and it was there, as editor of the "Tale Literary luagaslne." that the efforts of his pen first appeared. In the song book of his Alma Mater some of his contributions were long popular, such aa "Gather Te Bmlles, "Hmoklng Bong," "Nathan Hale" and "Llnonla." Ha died In 107. All hla Ufa Mr. Finch had written verses, not for publication, but out f sheer love of such reoraatlon. They were usually Inspired by some national Incident of interest. "Th Blue and the Gray," was the only one of hla poems ever published. "I did not feel," he said, "that the publication of poems was compatible with the dignity of a Judge.

RANCIS MILES FINCH'S poem, 'The Blue and the Gray,'' has done more to heal the wound left by the Civil war than any other one thing that has been written or said, or any aotlon by an individual on either side. Those beautiful lines: "Under the sod and the dew, Waiting . the , Judgment Day: Under the one the Blue, Under the other, the Gray," are so significant, respond so reaany against the force of sectionalism, that they sum up th entire situation, not to forget but to remember Impartially. The inspiration came to the author In a rerlf'CUve moment, lie was reading his paper and therein was printed a dispatch which told of "The women of Columbus. Miss., animated by nobler sentiments than are many of their sis ters, have ehown themselves Impartial In their offerings to the memory of the dead. They strewed flowers alike on the grave of the Confederate and of the Federal soldiers." This dispatch referred to a little com pany of grieving women in the Missis sippi city, seeing In war, as women do. only Its tragedy and Its woe, cast their sectionalism aside and decorated the graves of the dead Yankee soldiers In their local graveyard with as much rev erence as those of their own kin. This dispatch was printed In th spring of 1867. At this time Francis Miles Finch was residing In the town of Ithaca, New York, He was a man of rare literary attainments; occupied beautiful home and had one of the finest libraries In the college town. He possessed a rare poetical gift, and al though he had written considerable, he had never published a poem. When I read these lines," said Mr. Finch, "It struck me that the south was holding out a friendly hand, and hat It was our duty, not dnly as con iiuerors, but as men and their fellow citizens of the nation to grasp It. If the war was over, and peace had super vened, it seemed to me that peace should be reestablished In our hearts as well ft! c M How Millions Get Rid of Coras Five million corns ire removed every year by this little Blue-jay plaster.

Alveolar Dentistry Does Away Entirely With Plates and Bridge Work Mental Meanderings Naturo plays no favorites and neither does God. The only religion that rings true' is the religion you make for yournelf. If you think you possess a value greater than the world recognizes, it is safe to presume you are mistaken. There are few treat men. Simply because It takes a dense background of fools to set them off. The knowledge you get out of knouks is ihe knowledge that lifts you above the "DUBh." If you think you can ohange values by changing the labels, you will never rank with such thinkers as Darwin and Huxley. The man who is Intent on his job generally figures at the end of the season among those who hit above .300. To become a philosopher read much, remember well and loaf. But to be come a ton notcher in dentistry, one must think and work. It is well to put some trust in God; but the more you put In yourself, the higher will tne world rate you, lnciua lng both BradBtreet and Dun. Our Alveolar teeth are the most beau tiful and natural looking teeth Imagin able. They cannot be told from nature's product. We can imitate nature so nearly that we defy any one. dentists or laymen, to tell them from the most perfect natural teeth. Each tooth is set in Its own socket, separate and distinct, spaced like natural teeth where best to do so (use vour toothDick or brush same as with natural teeth), lapped In other places. The cusns oc clude with the opposing teeth, and in some cases we put them in crooked purposely to match and occlude with your other natural teeth. The work Is so remarkable and so perfect that w cannot do It lustlce "bv a written description, nor could you believe It. It sounds too good to be true, but we can show you samples, counterparts of tne worn; let you see ror yourself what It is. There are 12 Alveolar Dental Co. offices in the west. About 110,000 peoole In the United States are wearing Alveolar teeth. About 80.000 wero sup pled by th Alveolar Dental Co. About 8000 people of this ity and state were equipped in this office; 99 per cent of these.

There is small ner cent of people who buy the best. Tha majority will not, on account of the higher cost. But there are enough Who are willing to buy the best and who would have nothing but the best In dentistry, we are glad to, state, to keep us busy. A word to the wise is sufficient. Take this advice from us: In dentistry, buy the best. Alveolar Teeth Where Bridgework la Impossible. If only your front teeth aro left, say three or four or more, we can replace all those that have been lost on both sides, clear back, with perfect Alveolar teeth; whilst bridgework would be im possible even if you had eight or ten front teeth to tie to. If you have only two back teeth on each side, say -molars, we can supplv ail the front teeth that are missing with, beautiful, serv iceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth. This could not Dosslbly be donG by the bridge route. And whore bridework Is possible there is no comparison be tween the two. A very large percent age of our work Is taking out bridge work nut in by supposedly high class aentists ana replacing It with the beau tiful and artistic Alveolar teeth. And unlike brldeework in another respect. It is practically painless. No boring or cutting into the srums. nothing to h areaaeo. wow, men. prices being equal, (Turing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis ease, given up Dy otner dentists as in- curaDie, is anotner or our specialties We cure it absolutely, It's a boastful statement to matte, out we can do any thing that Is possible In dentistry, and what we do is always of the very high est class.
