SOLDIER OF '98 JOINS THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH.
Since the close of the war with Spain Memorial day has assumed a new sig
nificance. The dead of two wars are honored, and the real meaning of the day
is brought home to the later generation as it never has been bfore. The haziness
that time gives to memories of those who have gone to their last resting place
is brushed aside and the real import of the day stands out with more distinctness.
One day in the year may well be given over entirely to honoring our soldier dead.
It is not too much. They gave up their lives, some to hold the eouutry undivided
and some to relieve a down-trodden people at the threshold of our republic. We
owe them a debt of gratitude that we never ean repay, whether they fought in
the civil war or the war with. Spain. Their devotion and their courage entitle
them to the grateful remembrance we show, and the recent additions to their
number make the real significance of the exercises more distinct.

t ON THE ROLL
? OF HONOR. I
E always knew when Mike was
coming; the manner of his en
trance never left room for doubt.
There was always the confused murmur
of a wordy dispute with the elevator boy
downstairs who refused to operate his
machine for newsboys, the quick rush of
bare feet up the stairs to the shrill ac
companment of "Mah Coal Black Lady,"
or "Mr. Johnson, Turn Me Loose;" the
door would fly open with a crash and
Mike would be in the center of the room
shouting "Ev'nen Journal! Lat'st war
news!" from a golden imagination yellow
ing the already very yellow news of his
paper in a manner that must have won
him an editorship could the proprietor of
the sheet have heard him. This partic
ular May afternoon the method of bis
entrance differed in no way from the
asual routine, save that the door flew
open a little more suddenly and swung
to again with a little louder crash if pos
sible. But once inside it was evident
that Mike was unduly excited. The pa
pers which he usually held out in front at
arm's length to display to the best advan
tage their half-page scar heads were
tucked securely under one arm; his big
black eyes danced jubilantly and he en
tirely forgot business and the startling
news of his papers in the vastly greater
importance of his own news.
"Sav. wot ver tink! lie ol man s 'list
ed fer a soger; he's go'n t'war! Ain't he
t bird?" he shouted.
"Whose old man?" I inquired.
"Mine! Me dad! Whose'd yer sup
pose? Git de wool out o yer t inker! he
replied scornfully.
'But. Mike, who is going to support the
family?" I inquired, remembering a vivid
lescription Mike had once given me of six
ittle MurphyB of whom he was the eld-
?st and only " 'leven" at that.
"De fam ly s all right. Dad says dat
f he goes off to de scrap de folks wot
stays home is boun' to take care uv his
fam'ly. Say, yer ought to see 'im. He's
ill right, ye bet! De reg'ment marches
to-morrer."
It was the first time I had ever heard
Mike speak of his father with anything
like respect. I knew him to be a drunken
ne'er-do-well, who abused his wife and
children and contributed little to their
support. The days wore on. Regiment
after regiment passed through the city
in route for the South and Mike was joy
ously full of excitement. Every after
noon he blew into the office and every day
his stories of the uews grew bigger and
more yellow. He followed every move of
the army and his imagination rau riot
with the possibilities of the worid-chang-
ng drama being enacted. Every scrap of
lews in regard to his father's regiment
n-as on his tongue's end, and 1 soon found
hat with the donning of his blue coat his
father had become a hero. As for Mike
limself he was the same impudent, sharp
yed, dirty, ragged little gamin as of
fore, one of the most successful newsboys
n the street, an inveterate scrapper and
rambler, and on his own confession, rare
st night having more than half his
lay's earnings to take home. When I
remonstrated with him and pointed out
hat he should take bis father's place, he
was always ready with an answers f v
ing back on the old argument that if his
father fought for his country it was his
country s place to look after his family.
The summer wore on. The Fourth of
July dawned hot and sultry. The temper
ature rose with the sun; at 10 o'clock it
was 80; at 11 o'clock 90 and at noon it
registered 9(3 in the shade. The glare from
the asphalt streets blinded the eyes. Men
panted for breath and now and then one
fell. The water front and the parks were
tnronged with women and children seek
ing relief. Those who succumbed were
taken to the hospitals, but no one minded
them. Down before Santiago 16,000 men
in dingy brown canvas blue trimmed uni
forms in the blistering heat of a tropical
climate were fighting against overwhelm
ing odds. On the day before had come
the news of a disastrous defeat, and the
night had closed down in gloom. To-day
the defeat had been turned into a victory
and the cable had flashed home the details
of a great naval victory besides. The
great city sweltt-ied and sweated and
waited for confirmation and for the list of
dead.
That afternoon business calied me te
the office. For an hour I worked and
then fell to thinking of the great tragedy
being enacted. Suddenly I became aware
that someone was standing b7 my desk
"Ev'nen Journal, sir? List uv dead and
wounded."
It was Mike, but I hardly recognized
the voice. All the impudence, the old-
time braggadocio was gone, aud he had
come in so quietly. Why, Mike
began. Then I noticed the trace of tears
furrowed through the dirt on the two
grimy cheeks. There was an unwonted
seriousness in the deep black eyes and
an unmistakable quiver in the voice as he
repeated, Ev nen Journal, sir? Extra,
jes' out 'Plete list uv dead an' wound
ed."
I snatched the pape, eagerly and tossed
Mike a nickel. "Never mind the change,"
I said, and plunged into the details of the
fight. When I glanced up Mike was still
there.
"If yer please, sir," he began, standing
on one leg and uneasily rubbing it with
the dirty brown foot of the o:her. "If
yer please, sir, could I count yer reg'lar
fer a poiper every night? Oi Oi got ter
s port de fam ly now 'cause Oi'ni th' head
uv it. He he's dere, sir," he finished
with a dry sob, pointing to the open page
before me. Glancing down the column
in heavy black, bold-faced type, I saw the
name of Private Dennis A. Murphy on
the roll of honor with the brief, explana
tory line, "Shot through the head."
Mike drew a step nearer. "Say," he
said, with just a touch of his old-time
eagerness, "he's a hero now, nin't he?"
Mike has several regular customers in
the office now, but he no longer blows in
like a miniature hurricane. He comes
and goes quickly but quietly. He is full
of business, and although his former im
pudence now and then flashes out it is in
a guarded way that will lose him no cus
tomers. He is always ready for a scrap
when anyone intrudes upon his rights,
but he has given up fighting for the fun
of the thing, and he no longer pitches
pennies and gambles away his hard-earned
money. "Yer see, Oi'm de head uv de
fam'ly now, an' have ter help me mither,"
he explains.
The other day he came into the office
with the old-time rush. "They've got me
father's body, an' it's ter be buried here,"
he cried. Then after a moment's thought
he inquired wistfully. "Say, do yer s'pose
de sogers' U march ter his grave an' put a
flag an' flowers on it 'Morial day?"

PEDDLERS OF THE OCEAN.
Nautical Prototype of the Man with
the Pack.
The man with a pack on his back,
trudging from village to village and
offering for sale at cottage and farm
bouse a miscellaneous collection of
wares, has his counterpart In the ocean
peddler, ranging in size from a schoon
er trading among the islands of the
Pacific to a steamer of one or two
thousand tons burden.
The ocean peddler starts out from
Hamburg or San Francisco, the chief
home ports of the trade, with a defin
ite object in view. Sailing from the
former city, the course Is generally
laid either to the coast of Africa or
South America, having In the hold a
varied assortment of goods likely to be
marketable in the regions visited
cotton fabrics, trinkets, arms, ammu
nition, liquors, and all spare room
filled up with coal.
As the largest profits are often de
rived from the sale of contraband
goods, such as munitions of war to in
surgent bodies, and as detection by reg
ular authorities would lead to confisca
tion, several thousand rounds of car
tridges are probably done up in Innocent-looking
cases stamped "Canned
beef," and a few stands of discarded
German army rifles in packages label
ed "Glass, with care."
The captain of such a vessel must
possess not only ability as a navigator,
but an expert knowledge of the re
quirements of his trade in addition to
a plausible tongue wherewith to barter
and win over the good will of an ill
disposed official. If he does not own
an interest in the ship It Is generally
required that he shall in her cargo.
Trudging along over the ocean at a
seven or eight knot gait, saving his
coal as much as possible, the peddler
opens his trade by casting anchor in,
say, a South or Central American
port, when, having squared the com
mandante, he invites merchants and
others on board to Inspect his stock.
Duty, of course, has to be paid by the

A sense of humor is a great thing in
helping a man over a hard place, and
the Biddeford Record thinks one of that
city's ramsellers must be possessed of
the aid of this cheerfulness. It was
just after the big seizure of liquors the
other day that a man who didn't know
of the raid stepped up to the dismantled
bar and asked for a drink. The pro
prietor looked at the man for a second
and then spreading his arms out on
the bar, said, as pleasantly as he could

In which he Is lying, short of coaL
Then from his spare stock he sells a
few hundred tons at as hard a bar
gain as the necessity of the purchaser
permits him to drive.
On the Central American coast the
peddler usually times his visit at about
the opening of the coffee season, that
is, early in the new year, so that when
he has sold out his wares he is able to
load up, almost to the water line, with
the principal export of the country.
That the ocean-peddling trade Is not
without Its dangers is illustrated by a
story told by a mate of one of those
vessels. In order to preserve his re
spectable character the contraband
goods are sometimes stored In places
likely to escape the vigilant eye of the
customs officer, and, in the case In !
question, the mate's bunk was chosen ;
as the safest repository for certain !
packages of dynamite consigned to the '
leaders of a Nicaraguan revolution. All
went well until the night before the
ship was due to arrive at her destina-
tion, when a thunderstorm occurred

In an alarming manner. The mate '
confessed that the Idea of turning in !
upon a bed of dynamite under such cir- I
cumstances was not conducive to
peaceful repose, even to one accustom
ed to sleep through all manner of dan
gers; but with the reflection that If a
flash found its way to his bunk he
would not be likely to be made aware
of the fact he slumbered serenely
through his watch below, and next day
delivered the "canned tomatoes" safe
ly to the consignees.
The ocean-peddling trade on the Pa-
clfic has been shorn of much of its
profit since the Inter-island passenger
traffic in natives, who too often were
carried as passengers much against
their will, to dive for pearls on the
great Australian bank, has been effec
tually suppressed. Still, a consider
able trade is carried on In small arti
cles in hardware, old clothes, personal
trinsets and an occasional case of "dry
goods," which if seized would turn out

Nature begins fools, and women ii
A girl can claim all her life that she
made cakes and clothes which her
mother really made, and the mother
will never dispute her.
Often a woman wishes she were a
man, but a man thinks of corsets and
never desires to change bis condition.
Every spring you clean the house you
live in, to get rid of the dust and dirt which
collected in the winter. Your body, the
house your soul lives in, also becomes filled
up during the winter with all manner of
filth, which should have been removed from
day to day, but was not. Your body needs
cleaning inside. If your bowels, your liver,
your kidneys are full of putrid filth, and
you don't clean them out in the spring,
youTI be in bad odor with yourself and
everybody else all summer.
DON'T USE A HOSRAo clean your
body inside, but sweet, fragrant, mild but
positive and forceful CASCARETS, that
work while you sleep, prepare all the filth
collected in your body for removal, and
drive it off softly, gently, but none the less
surely, leaving your blood pure and nourishing, your stomach and bowels clean and
lively, and your liver and kidneys healthy and active. Try a 10-cent box today, and if
not satisfied get your money back but you'll see how the cleaning of your body is
