DECORATION Day was more generally OBJ
served throughout the United Slater than al
any time since the close OF the war. Kansas
towns very generally closed up business and
observed the day with appropriate cermonies.
Wichita hating been laid cut since the war,

few remembered the day. We never hear o.
decorating soldiers graves that we do mol
think OF toe acres ana acres OF white slab:
that stud Arlington Heights, opposite the
city Of Washington. Over one OF the entrance
gates is this quotation, from poem by Colo
mel U'Hara, of Kentucky. written during the
Mexican war, which, ia heroic beauty, is not
exceIled:
The nuflled drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on LIES parade shall meet
The brave and fallen few.
On flames eternal camping grounl
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.
