Flowers Red, White and Blus.
Bg Geo. ". Bunqgy.I

Let the blue blossom lean its head
Upon the sod where sleeps the brave,
And lilies white and roses red
Breathe balm upon the soldiers grave.
Strew flowers upon the silent mound,
Before the sun absorbs the dew;
Let starry petals light the ground,
And glow with flowers red, white and bluA
Our fathers saw IN heaven on high
The grand and beautiful design
And copied from the radiant sky
The stars that give light divine
To the dear flag our heroes bore
In triumph many battles through,
And we will honor svermore
The braves Of the red, white and blue.
Peace to the ashes of the brayef
Ne battle shout disturbs their rest;
They risked their lives that they might save
The Nations life, and we are blass.
With plenty smiling at the door,
And bright prosperity in view,
Can we forget those gone before
When flowers are red and white and blusf
The broad bright wing Of heaven, unfurled,
Bends DER the sleeping sons OF Mars,
And He who nolds and moves the world
Has placed on watch the sentinel stars
The morning finds oar fragrant bowers
Wet with the clear and sparkling dew,
That drops ike tears from early flowers,
We strew to-day red, white and blue.

The manufacture of baseball bats is a Iargs
and growing industry. One of the largest
depOts of supply is at Hastings, Mich, where
over 100 men are at work turning them out to
supply the yearly demand, that is supposed TO
be over 100000. Ash is the fayorite wood used,
and is made up into over twenty styles for
boys and men, ranging from ten cents up to
any price. To show the extent of this indus
try, it may be said that the one factory men,
toned uses in single year $4,000 feet of ash,
