It Was tho graudost 'display rnado In tbo

tho Inspiration of tho moment, that, oven
tho fooblest of tho maimed and crippled

tho ordeal of tho llvd tnllos match.
Tho ttulhuslasirl which greeted Iho Wis
consin division of TOO strong was Un

high In tho air and on tho top Uf a flagstaff
was perched '01d Abo, tho stuffed eaglo
whloh becdlno a part of Wisconsin's his

nfter cheer arose from tho multitude.
Many a civilian could only dlvltti tho
causo of all this enthusiasm, but to
probably ovory G. A. It, mah In line to-day
tho strange history of that bird Is n flre
sldo story to his childron.
To record tho features of tho procession
In detail would be impossible in tho upaco

on account of tho porvorslty of tho rail

outhuslasm that provallod. Missouri
turned out largo numbers aud attracted
much nttontion.
In tho lino, marching with tho rani: and
flloucro many of tho prominent men of tbo

old gentleman carried a palm leaf fan and
appeared to enjoy tho occasion qultu as

Tho governor of a stato Is not often nocn
trudging along In tho dust with tho boys,
but that sight was witnessed moro than

PRUDENCE IN MOURNING.
She Spent as Little us Possible and
Ac-
rompllslied Her Purpose.
Tho economy which is too strong to
bo distuibijd by grief or bereavment is
to nkin to nvarico that no ono fools
any self rt'proach for holding it up to
ridicule, nlthough tho circumstances
may havo to do with tho saddest ot
events. Thcro was once an eccentric
old lady who lived in ono of tho sea
port tou nt, of New England, and who
was renowned alike for hor oddities
nnd for what her nolghbors called her
"nearness." Sho was a widow, and
had inherited not n littlo property
from her husband, which sho carefuVr
handled and which increased in hor
care. It was mado a matter of re
proach that sho did not erect a tomb
stonn to her husband, but sho always
said that sho could not afford such an
expon&o.
In courso of timo, liowcver, tho
widow mado up her mind to havo it
tablot, and accordingly wont to Boston
to select in Sho Msilod ono marblo
yard nfter another, but for a long timo
could find nothing cheap enough to
suit hci. At last sho came ,upon-n
largo nud handsomo Blab whlcli w'as
set asldo to bo cut down. j
"You soo it was spoiled," tho stone"
cutter os pi alned. 'Wo bognn It for a'
man named Mark, but tho wlfa:
changed her mind by tho timo wo had
got 60 much of tho namo on, and thoro
Is tho wltolo slab spoiled."
"I'lltako it off your hands," tho
widow said promptly, "if you'll lot mo
havo it reasonably." 1
Oh, I'll lot you havo it very. cheap,. '
to savo tho bother of having it cut
over. But what can you do with it?"
"I'll uso it" sho answered, find at'--onco
proceeded to go into tho diseiis- .
sion of tho price. , .
When sho had at last beaten tho ""
6tono-cuttcr down to an absurdly low
figure, tho widow bought tho slab.
"Then)," sho said, "now what, I, -want
you to do is to put 'tho perfect
man' after that word in the samo sort
of letters, and then tho namo and tho
dato can go just there, n
Sho indicated to tho astonished '
stono-cutior with her long fingor- tho
disposition of tho inscription, and thus,
it camo tibout that in a certain well
known comptcry of her native pity her
husband t.loops under a marblo where
upon the world is admonished to
"Mark tho perfect man'." Youth's -Companion.

Tho successful prosecution of tho
Mnla Vita gang in Italy is to bo'
followed by tho punishment of another,
similar association with extonsivo, '

been made ttt last accounts and mora

government is determined to suppress
the murderous secret organizations
which havo terrorized the Italian
people for so many years, robbing nnd
blackmailing them.
