The National tribune., 1884-11-13

TELLING THE BRAVE STORY OVER.
He is dead whose hand is not open wide
To help the need of a human brother;
he doubles the length of his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another;
And thousand million lives his
Who carries the world in his sympathies.
To deny
Is TO die.
UNIFORMED BY HIS MOTHER.

who served three years and never was uniformed
by Uncle Sam? My uncle was one of these. He

and grandma furnished him with his clothes while
he WAS in the service. He is still alive and would
be glad to hear from his comrades of the 18th Kan
