Af ELEGANT TRIBUTE.
In the senate the other day, after
Heyburn had made the usual exhibi
tion the country expects from him
whenever opportunity is given him
to stuck the men who fought the
battles of the Confederacy and after
John Sharp Williams bad completed
the task of banging the Heyburn
hide on the fence. Senator William
Alden Smith, of Michigan, paid the
following beatlful tribute to the
southern soldiers and the southern
people.
"You on tUe other side are asked
to forget the war, forget what you
suffered. , Why. Mr. President, .1
would despise a southern man who
would ever forget the loyalty and the
bravery and the daring and the hero
ism and the sacrifice their people
made in a cause they believed to bt
right Tbst Is" part of the history ot
our country, written by the sword
and attested by the gallantry ot our
own countrymen on evety battlefield
in the south. l respect
the men who wore the gray; I bono?
the men who wore the blue. 1 honor
their Intrepidity and skill, attested
on a hundred battlefields, from Bui!
Run to Appomattox. Kt, their dar
ing touched the highest mark ever
attained In patriotic, devotion to
country and tbe valor displayed on
both sides Is our richest heritage
But, sir, I do not know a soldier in
tbe north who Is not broad and gen
erous and catholic, who does not
look upon the southern soldier living
with kindness and sympathy and
upon the Confederate soldier dead
with affection and good will. Theli
loyal devotion to a principle which
they themselves thought dear will
excite the admiration of alt future
generations of mto tbe whole world
round, and is tbe proud legscy of the
sons and daughters of me southland
Sir, those men have cared for theli
wounded and suffering; they have
ssked no pensions from the govern
tnent agsinst ' wbUb they rebelled.
With a solicitude which we msy well
emulate, they have boi.nd up their
wounds and nursed their own sick
snd dying snd cared for their dead
and rebuilt their own devastated
slates snd voluntarily burdened
themselves that we might pension
our heroes and, bouse :bem lo com
fort in their declining years,"

Honest confession is good for tbe

mit that wasteful extrsvagance In time

whose work is never done.
Instead of putting the bedding to
air when she srlsea in the morning
she runs upstairs to do.it aft. f break
fast, or whenever she happens to think
of it Then down she goes sgain to
do oher work while the siring pro
cess goes on thereby .taking extra
steps and using extra nerve force.
Her work table kt almost as far
from her stove ss she can get It, some.
or other. When she is ready to
cook her breaded chops she spears
tnera on a fork one at a tlmt and
dssbes bark and forth six times Is
the bas six chops, when she might
have taken them all tortile stove at
once on tbe meat board.
And when the clears tbe Utile she
dashes out Into the kitchen in her ds-
swrate hurry to get that work d'ne
with one band full of dixhe. when
he might jnst as easily havi uMl;i'-d
both bands. And so on, sli through
the estegory. Don't yon know her?
