A Prayer For a Horse.?A young
curate, but very' shy and bashful, came
into a parish which was occupied by
Yorkshire yeoman who bred horses
and rode them and sometimes had
steeplechases. He did not get on, and
was very much depressed.
One day the clerk said to him: "If
you please, sir, the prayers of the
church are desired for Lucy Gray."
"Very well," said the curate, and at
every service in which the prayer for
all sorts of conditions of men was
offered, the church was asked to pray
for Lucy Gray, till one morning the
clerk rushed into the vestry and said:
"You needn't pray for Lucy Gray
any more; she's won the steeplechase."
"Have I been praying for a horse?"
asked the curate. "I shall leave the
place."
But the clerk said: "You'll do now't
of the sort, sir; I thought little of ye
when ye came, but now ye've got the
hearts of them all, and ye can do
what ye like in the parish since ye
took to having prayed for that horse."
Not Their Style.?The young man
who eats all 'round the circuit ran
against this quick lunch incident recently:
A fastidious person made his way
charily into the place. A tumbler of
murky water was thumped before him
by the young woman on the other side
of the counter.
"What's yours?"
"Coffee and rolls, my girl."
One of those iron heavy, quarterinch
thick mugs of coffee was pushed
over the counter. The fastidious person
seemed dazed. He looked under
the mug and over it.
"But where is the saucer?" he
queried.
"We don't give no saucers here. If
we did some low brow'd come pilin' in
an' drink out his saucer, an' we'd lose
a lot of our swellest trade."
A New Sherlock.?A joke was played
on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle during
his last visit to Paris by a French taxicab
driver, if a story in the Caulois is
to be credited. The man had driven
Sir Arthur from the station to a hotel,
and when he received his fare, he said,
"Merci, M. Conon Doyle." Why, how
do you know my name?" asked Sir
Arthur. "Well, sir, I have seen in the
papers that you were coming from the
south of France to Paris; your general J
appearance told me that you were English;
your hair had been clearly last
cut by a barber of the south of France.
I put these indications together, and
guessed at once that it was you."
"That is very remarkable. You have
no other evidence to go upon?" "Well,"
said the man, there was also the fact
that your name was on your luggage."
Everv Man to His Trade.?Mark
Thistlewaite, private secretary to
Vice President Marshall, ran across a
30-page, hand-written letter from a
crank in the office mail one morning.
After reading three pages of it he decided,
with a grin, to brighten his
chiefs day by letting him wade
through the document; and accordingly
laid it on top of the pile of letters
on his private desk.
Vice President Marshall came in with
a cheery greeting and passed into his
private office. There was silence of
almost a minute, then the buzzer
sounded. "Mark," he exclaimed as the
secretary appeared, "when I keep a
dog, do you suppose I'm going to do my
own barking?"
Animal Intelligence.?Some men at
the club were telling dog stories after
o Hov'? shnntinir. After some time.
when the tales had got very "tall," one
little man, who had been quite silent,
said:
"I have a dog that makes all yours
seem fools. I generally feed him myself
after dinner, but the other day a
friend dropped in and the poor animal
slipped my mind. After the meal we
went into the garden. The dog scratched
up a flower and laid it at my feet,
with the most yearning look in his
eyes?it was a forget-me-not.
Nobody told any more dog stories
that evening.
A Different Boy.?An interesting
event occurred in the household of a
scientific gentleman who is a member
of one of Uncle Sam's chemical bureaus
in Washington.
The eentleman himself was hard at
work in his home laboratory- when the
news was brought to him.
"It's a boy," quietly announced the
physician, jus he stopped on thethreshhold.
"All right, all right," muttered the
absentminded chemist as he bent over
his work. "Er-oh?ask him what he
wants, won't you?"
I despise a hypocrit."
"So do I.'
"Now, take Jackson for example, he's
the biggest hypocrit on earth."
"But you appear to be his best
friend."
"Oh, yes! 1 try to appear friendly toward
him. It pays better in the end."
She Filled the Bill.?John Sloan, the
painter, was lecturing on "Models" before
an art class in New York.
,,rPl-?xxr? thppo ic th<* frfvnlnns mndcl "
said Mr. Sloan. "She, unless very
beautiful, is to be avoided.
"A frivolous model besought a friend
of mine to employ her.
" 'No, no,' he said. 'I only do still life
?flowers and fruit.'
" 'Well,' said the model, looking up
at him, reproachfully out of limpid
blue eyes, 'well, ain't I a peach?'"
It Would Suit Him.?A certain major
in the Philippines, who seemed to
be favored with the good will of the
powers, managed in some way always
to get leave just before trouble with
the natives was due. His colonel suspected
him of having no stomach for
fighting.
"Some day," remarked the colonel,
"they'll want to give that fellow a
decoration, and I'll suggest one. It
will be a wreath of leaves of absence."
Cause for Congratulations.?Patient:
f?ay, doctor, tnat new serum treatment
of yours has given me an extremely
high fever."
Doctor: "My hearty congratulations."
"What for?"
"Why, my dear sir, that fever indicates
the presence of several other
diseases which we didn't even suspect."
"It's a had plan to talk about your
neighbors."
"That's right," replied the man who
is all business. "Publicity is worth
something these days. I shouldn't think
of talking about anybody except at advertising
rates."
HON. RICHARD I. MANNING
Some Facts About South Carolina's
Next Governor.
WORKED WAY UP AGAINST OBSTACLES
Family Record Long and Honorable?
They Were Patriots in the Revolution,
and Have Been Prominent in
the Affairs of the State Through
Several Generations.
The following sketch of Hon. Richard
I. Manning, governor-elect, is
from "Men of Mark in South Carolina."
Richard Irvine Manning, son 01
Richard Irvine Manning and his wife,
Elizabeth Allen Sinkler, was born at
Homesly plantation. Sumter county,
South Carolina, August 15, 1859. The
father, a man of equable temperament
and gentle and unobtrusive in
manner, was noted for his excellent
judgment and scrupulous uprightness
in life. He impressed all as an
honorable and just man and his
opinion, naturally, in matters of moment,
was often sought. He was a
successful planter and served acceptably
in the state senate of South Carolina.
His parental ancestor, uiureute
Manning, was born in Ireland and emigrated
thence prior to the American
Revolution and settled in Craven,
subsequently Clarendon county, South
Carolina. He married a daughter of
Richard Richardson, a distinguished
patriot, born near Jamestown, Va.,
1704, where he had been a land surveyor.
He removed to Craven county,
South Carolina, where he engaged in
farming. During the Indian border
wars he commanded a regiment; was
a member of the council of safety of
Charleston in 1775; and for his services
in quelling a dangerous loyalist
revolt in the "back country," received
fh? thanks of the orovincial congress
und was promoted to the rank of
brigadier general. He was a member
of the legislative council of 1776 and
in the provincial congress of South
Carolina assisted in forming the state
Constitution.
Lord Cornwallis made fruitless efforts
to gain him over to the royal
cause. Made prisoner at the capture
of Charleston, he returned from the
prison at St. Augustine and died in a
few days near Salisbury, N. C., in September,
1781. His eldest son, Col.
Richard Richardson, commanded the
right wing of Gen. Francis Marion's
army at the battle of Eutaw and was
wounded. Another son, James B.
Richardson, was governor of South
Carolina, 1802?04.
The same Laurence Manning,
great-grandfather of the subject of
this sketch, was a Revolutionary soldier
and was distinguished for his
intrepid courage and inperturbability
of demeanor in moments of great
peril, instances of which are narrated
in "Garden's Anecdotes." He was the
first adjutant general of the state of
South Carolina.
Grandfather a Governor.
His son, Richard Irvine Manning,
was born in Sumter district. May 1,
1789; was graduated from South
Carolina college in 1811; served in
the war of 1812; was a member of the
South Carolina legislature in 1822,
and governor of South Carolina, 182426;
was state senator and was elected
a member of congress from South
Carolina in 1834 and died during his
term in Philadelphia, May 1, 1836.
The early years of the subject of
this sketch were passed on the plan
tation of his father and he grew up a
healthy and active lad, fond of horseback
riding and fox hunting. His
father dying when he was only two
years of age. the responsible care of
the plantation and of his mother and
sisters fell upon him when he was a
mere lad. His training was of great
value to him. It necessitated daily
intercourse with his neighbors in varied
matters of business and impressed
him with the value of the golden
rule in all his transactions as well as
accustoming himself to self-sacrifice.
His mother was highly educated
and refined, a sincerely pious woman
of deep religious faith, in whom all
considerations of selfish comfort and
pleasure were always subservient to
her duty to God, to the cause of humanity
and the good of her country.
The special lines of reading which
young Manning found most helpful
in fitting him for his work in life
were, primarily, the Bible, with the
biographies of men famous in the
world's progress. After attending the
primary schools in the vicinity of his
birth, he was for two years a student
at the Kenmore university high school
of the late H. A. Strode in Amherst
county. Virginia, and later at the University
of Virginia, which he left in
1874 before completing the course of
study.
Began Life as a Farmer.
He commenced the active work of
his life in Sumter county as a farmer
in 1880.
On February 10. 1881. he married.
at Richmond, Leila Bernard Meredith,
daughter of John A. Meredith
and Sarah Anne Bernard, his wife,
Judge Meredith was a descendant of
Col, Elisha Meredith of the American
Revolution. Two brothers of Mrs.
Manning, Charles V. and Wyndham
Robertson Meredith, of Richmond,
are prominent members of the Virginia
bar. The first choice of young
Manning was for the profession of
law, but his eyesight being threatened
he abandoned the study.
He was elected a member of the
house of representatives of South
Carolina in 1SRJ and 1894. Although
he declined the nomination, he was
elected to the house. In 1898 he was
elected a member of the state senate
of South Carolina, was re-elected in
1902, and served as president pro
tempore of that body in 1905. He
was also chairman of the finance
committee, a member of the sinking
fund commission of the senate and a
member of the Wade Hampton monument
commission. He was a eandifhito
for the Democratic nomination
for governor of South Carolina at the
Democratic primary in 1906, but failed
of success, after a hotly contested
campaign, in spite of his confessedly
greater popularity than that enjoyed
by his winning competitor.
Public Spirited Citizen.
Besides developing his planting interests,
Mr. Manning has proved
himself in many ways a progressive
and public-spirited citizen and has
been inlluentially connected with various
business and other enterprises.
Among his trusts have been president
and treasurer of the Masonic Temple
association, president of the Sumter
Compress company, president of the
Home Building & Loan association,
director in the Bank of Sumter, in
the Sumter Telephone Manufacturing
company, Sumter Machinery company,
Sumter & VVateree Railroad
company, and president of the Bank
of Sumter. He has also been connected
with other enterprises tending
to the improvement and development
of his community and state.
In his party affiliation he has been
a consistent Democrat and has always
aided in every effort to purify elections?"the
ballot being the foundation
stone of republican institutions."
He believes that "effort should be
' " * ' **??-? ? /! V* j
made to rid elections w uauu,
they should be protected from the
exercise of undue influence, so as to
arrive at a free and untrammeled expression
of the popular will," He introduced
in the house of representatives
in 1894 a rigid Australian ballot
bill, but it was defeated.
He has always taken an active part
in all legislation touching the assessment
and taxation of property and in
everything promoting the educational
interests of South Carolina. He
has actively worked for the development
of the common school system, as
well as for the thorough equipment
and broadening of the sphere of
the institutions of higher learning.
An Active Churchman.
He is a communicant of the Protes
tant Episcopal church, is chairman of
the vestry of the church at Sumter
and its treasurer, and is also treasurer
of St. Mark's church at Clarendon,
South Carolina. He is a member of
the standing committee of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of South
Carolina, chairman of the finance
committee of the diocese, of its board
of missions and of the executive committee
of the Young Men's Christian
association of North and South Carolina.
He served in the state militia
of South Carolina, 1876-78. He is a
member of the following fraternities:
A. F. and A. Mason, the Delta
Kappa Epsilon and the Knights of
Pythias. He has found healthful relaxation
from the duties of his busy
and useful career in driving, riding,
occasional hunting and travel when
time and opportunity have admitted.
He believes that the principles,
methods and habits which prove most
helpful to young people in attaining
true success in life are: "A regular
reading and study of the Bible, the
study of history and the biographies
of those characters whose lives and
achievements appeal to the student,
and above all, to ever aim at the
attainment of the highest ideals of
citizenship, with purity of morals and
uprightness in character in the daily
walks of life; to feel it a duty to take
interest in and to create, foster and
direct a healthy public sentiment in
all public questions, and to be ever
ready to sacrifice private Inclination,
personal comfort and pecuniary interests.
in the discharge of duty to
God and to fellowmen, with the paramount
ambition to be useful and
valued members of the community.
His address is 421 North Main
street. Sumter, Sumter county, South
Carolina.
NATION CALLED TO PRAYER
President Appoints October 4. as Day
of Supplication.
President Wilson on last Tuesday,
signed a proclamation calling on the
people of the United States to pray
for peace ,n Europe. The proclamation
sets aside October 4, as a day of
prayer.
The president's proclamation follows:
"Whereas great nations of the
world have taken arms against one
another and war now draws millions
of men into battle when the counsel
of statesmen have not been able to
save from the terrible sacrifice:
"And, whereas, in this, as in all
things, it is our privilege and duty
to seek counsel and succor of Almighty
God, humbling ourselves before
him, confessing our weakness
and our lack of any wisdom equal to
these things;
"And, whereas, it is the especial
wish and longing of the people of
the United States in prayer and counsel
and all friendliness, to serve the
cause of peace;
"Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do designate Sunday, the
fourth day of October next, a day
of prayer and supplication and do
request all God-fearing persons to repair
on that day to their places of
worship, there to unite their petitions
to Almighty God, that overruling
the counsel of men, setting straight
the things they cannot govern or alter,
taking pity on the nations now in
the throes of conflict, in his mercy
and goodness showing a way where
men can see none, he vouchsafe his
children healing peace again and restore
once more that concord among
men and nations without which there
can be neither happiness nor true
friendship nor any wholesome fruit or
toil or thought in the world; praying
also to this end that he forgive us our
sins, our ignorance of his holy will,
our wilfulness and many errors, and
lead us in the paths of obedience to
places of vision and to thoughts and
counsels that purge and make wise.
"In witness whereof. I have hereunto
set my hand and authorized the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington,
this eighth day of September, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand, nine
hundred and fourteen and of the independence
of the United States of
America, the one hundred and thirtyninth.

Reginald Kann, the French military
expert, who, in criticising the United
States army, writes in the Temps:
"No other people, except perhaps
the Chinese, show less taste for the
profession of arms than the Americans.
For this there are two causes.
The first is perfect security, due to the
absence of dangerous neighbors; second
is the extreme individualism upon
which the American's political and
social life is founded, making him impatient
of all rules and discipline.
"But look at the Yankee! consider
his long, willful jaw, thin lips, dry
complexion and sharp glance.
"He is a lighter of the first rank,

Out of a saddened and embittered
heart, an eminent Philadelphian sends
us the verses we print today?a searching
satire upon one of the most depressing
manifestations of the war.
As though it were not enough that
the twentieth century of Christianity
should see half the civilized world engaged
in barbarous conflict, the warring
peoples beseech Omnipotence for
aid in battle and raise to the Prince of
Peace their prayers for supremacy in
slaughter.
King and kaiser, czar and emperor,
hotm offrnntrwl TToo van with thpir im.
pious supplications. The new thought
here is that this monstrous perversion
of the religious instinct of man is not
an offense of autocrats alone, but of
millions of their people. By uncounted
numbers of human beings it is still
held that their national ambitions are
to be furthered by a divinely inspired
war; that the God of the universe is
a God of battle, of burning cities, murderous
cannon and blood-soaked
trenches.
Nothing we believe, has ever so grated
upon the sense of reverence of this
nation as the dreadful invocations that
have issued from the throne-rooms ot
Europe during this causeless war. As
he launched his Cossack hordes against
neighboring nations the Russian despot
proclaimed:
"With a profound faith in the justice
of our work and a humble hope in
Omnipotent Providence, in prayer we
call God's blessing on holy Russia and
her valiant troops."
Immediately the war lord of Germany
issued his powerful defiance:
"We are animated by the unbending
desire to secure for ourselves the
place where God has placed us. Devout
before God and courageous before
the enemy, let us confide ourselves
to the everlasting Almighty, who will
strengthen our defense and conduct it
to a good end."
This godly aspiration was uttered
when the government of Germany had
trampled upon a solemn covenant and
had begun a ruthless invasion of the
territory of a neutral people.
Within a few hours of the time when
German bombs were flung from the
clouds upon the sleeping homes of Antwerp
the Imperial government published
to the world that touching telegram
from the kaiser to the consort of the
crown prince:
"I rejoice with thee over the first
victory of William. God has been on
his side and has most brilliantly supported
him. To Him be thanks and
honor."
Likewise, while the huge forces tore
at each other in furious conflict, this
dispatch to the king of Wurtemberg:
"With God's gracious assistance, the
Duke of Albrecht and his splendid
army have gained a glorious victory.
You will join me in thanking the Almighty."
A little later he sent to his ministry
an exhortation expressing "confidence
in the irresistible might of our
heroic army and unshakable belief in
the help of a living God."

"Victory after victory. God is with

Yet it must not be supposed that
the regal effrontery of these utterances
signifies that the autocrats are
singularly depraved. They would not
be moved, they would not dare, to proclaim
such impiety if their sacreligious
faith were not shared by the great
masses of their subjects.
German troops on their way to the
storming of Liege and the sack of
Louvain knelt humbly in the streets of
Berlin while ministers of God blessed
their arms. We read of this scene in
St. Petersburg:
"Crowds prostrated themselves in
the streets as the imperial family
passed to the palace for the purpose
of attending a special service of prayer.
One hundred thousand persons
gathered in front of the palace. The
service was opened by a priest, who
read the declaration of war, a Te
Deum was sung, and the czar venerated
the holy cross and the ikon."

besiege the throne of mercy with
prayers that organized slaughter may
prosper.
Even the Anglo-Saxon character,
shrinking from the formalities of
great religious ceremonies, thrills to
the audacious spirit of the British
"Hymn Before Action":
The earth is full of anger.
The seas are dark with wrath;
The nations, in their harness,

Ere yet we loose the legions.

In the face of such demonstrations
the intent of reverence is shocked, and
the hope that religion will help to N
abolish war is well-nigh.extinguished.

alone must be the hope of an afflicted t

FRENCH GENERALISSIMO
General Joseph Joffre is Known as Man *
of Silence.
General Joseph Joffre, generalissimo
of the French in the war against
Germany, is a man of silence,. His
whereabouts today are a secret. He
is almost unknown to the public and
few of his soldiers would recognize
him if he motored by them.
Should France eventually win out
against her arch enemies, the Germans,
it will not be another victory
for Napoleon, which was Joffre's
fondest dream.
Round and fat, silent and saturnine,
Joffre is not unlike the great
Crosisan in build and characteristics,
and he is a profound believer in Napoleonic
principles, to strike first, to
hit the enemy in many places at
once and to ceil his movements with
strict secrecy.
He started this war this way. The
French were not successful. The
_ _ v
Germans crossed the border. M.
Millerand has taken charge and decreed
that no more Napoleonic policies
go. Joffre has been overruled.
Today the French army, instead of
being all along the border and in
Alsace, Lorraine and elsewhere, is
concentrated to oppose the main German
advance.
Joffre believes in making war in *
silence. Indeed, that has been the
marked difference between this campaign
and the one of forty-four years 1
ago. Then, the names of generals 4
were on every tongue; now none c
knows who is the leader in any par- 1
ticular exploit. When a French '
brigade entered Mulhausen a few days
ago, the public was not told who was
the brigadier in command for fear
it would prove valuable information
for the enemy.
It is related of Joffre that he
never betravs his rank even to his
own men who do not know him.
When the troops were being mobilized
at the beginning of this war, the
generalissimo was at a railway station,
but without any insignia to denote
his station. There was a group
of reservists on the platform. All
were talking volubly of going to war.
"When do you join?" one youth
asked Joffre.
"I have already joined," was the
quiet answer.
"Where do you come from?" was
asked.
"Paris," was the laconic answer.
"What's your name," persisted the
rural reservist.
"It is best for soldiers to have no
names," the generalissimo said with ,
one of his rare smiles, and when an ,,
officer who recognized him would
have reproved the reservist, Joffre
forbade him.
To strike rather than to be struck
is one of his axioms. He believes in
a forward policy, a policy of attack.
Gen. Joseph Joffre, though a great
strategist, has won his greatest fame
as a builder of forts and roads. He
is a man of fine intelligence, with the
steel gray eyes of a dreamer, but the
ease with which he has manipulated
two million French troops since the
war began shows that he is a practical
man as well.
"Jore the taciturn," as he is known ^
to the general stoffe, is scarcely
known to Parisians. In times of peace
he is retiring to a degree and shuns
public recognition.
He entered the army in the war of
1870 when only IS years old, and was
promoted for gallantry on the field by
Marshal MacMahon. Immediately ^
after the war he was entrusted with
rebuilding the forts around Paris, the
forts that today are being prepared
again to defend the capital against
the Germans.
r
Made a captain at 22, Joffre was
sent into east France to build up the
chain of fortresses there that have ^
nrnvpfl of such value in resisting the "
invaders from the north.
Afterward he spent many years
raising impenetrable fortifications at *
Tonkin, Island of Formosa, and Mad- (
agascar. His next brilliant achievment
was the crushing of the uprising T
in Dahomey. There, with a small
force he utterly crushed the natives
after a short campaign marched into f
Timbuctoo. Since that time JofTre
has been at the head of the French ^
war college, where officers are trained.
In addition, he has been the supreme
organizer of the French army ^
and when war loomed on the horizon,
there was no debate about placing ^
Joffre in the field as generalissimo.
Nobody else was thought of. He is ^
the Lord Kitchiner of France.

STATEMENT BY MR. MANNING
V i 11 be Governor of all the People
Without Recognizing Factions.
Mr. Richard I. Manning gave out
he following statement to the press
ast Wednesday:
"I wish to express my thanks to the
vhole people of South Carolina. The
remendous vote I received means but
me thing?that the principles I advocate,
law and order, peace and harnony,
struck a responsive chord in the
learts of our people.
"I can not single out any set of men
o whom the result of this election is

jiaces worked so steadfastly and so
arnestly for our cause. To the farmers,
the merchants, the mechanics, the
extile workers, the traveling and proessional
men and to all others who
:ontributed to the wonderful result, my
irofound thanks are due and hereby
riven. It will be physically impossible
or me to express my heartfelt appre:iation
to the loyal friends who worked
with and for me except in this statenent
to the public.
"I would be wide of the mark if I did
lot express my earnest appreciation
>f the splendid work done by the newslapers
of the state; the press as a
vhole was untiring in its effort to show
he people only the true issues and to
iresent public matters in a true light.
"It would be ingratitude on my part,
lowever, not to mention especially the
oyal support given me by my home
leople in Sumter and by the members
>f the Young Men's Manning club or
Sumter, whose loyalty and devotion
vere a source of strength and inspiraion
to me throughout the long camlaign.
I consider rue reeiuii 01 mc v^ammign
of 1914 a triumph for all the
igencies which work for the moral upift
of our people, and not as a personil
victory.
"In conclusion I wish to say, as I
lave said many times before, that as
jovernor of South Carolina I will be
jovernor of all the people; that I will
lot recognize any faction, but that 1
vill serve the whole people to the utnost
of my strength and capacity, with
leart and head devoted only to their

The Key To Health?
is pure blood. Get the blood pure and
all the ills that follow from impoverished
or tainted blood, such as indigestion,
nervous dyspepsia, gastritis,
rheumatism, eczema, scrofula, etc.,
will disappear, leaving the body
healthy and the mind clear.
MRS. JOE PERSON'S REMEDY
is a real blood "purifier," according
to hundreds of testimonials from
people who have used it successfully
during the last forty years. It puts
the blood right, then builds the body
back into health and energy.
"For eight or ten years I was subject
to severe attacks of eczema. Mrs.
Joe Person's Remedy made a perfect
cure of me," writes Mrs. J. H. WUkins
of Bessemer City, N. C.
Your druggist should have it. If
he hasn't, send us his name and one
dollar for a large bottle.

The REVILLE In
the army the soldiers are waked
in the morning by the blowing of the
Reville, on a bugle. Some wag has
said that the bugle says, "I can't get
'em up; I can't get 'em up; I can't A
get 'em up this morning." There is
a greater army than Uncle Sam's
standing army that is awakened every
morning by the Reville, sounded by
"BIG BEX" ALARM CLOCKS and
this big army has to get up to shut
off the strident voice of BIG BEN;
because if he is not CHOKED he
keeps right on the job until somebody
moves. Buy a BIG BEN and Join
the army of "Get-Ups."
