Frank was ridden down by tall cavalry
man in gray. He jumped for his life to reach
the left of the rider-the sweep of the long
old fashioned sword was not so apt to reach
him there. As he jumped he gave the horse a
sharp wound in the brspst for that was half
the battle. The frantic animal dreaded the
bayonet more than his riders spur OFF for
an instant, then, goaded savagely, he came
on; the saber was raised for a sweeping blow,
the bayonet for a parry thrust; the last light
OF day flashed upon the riders face
my God, it is JimP

was too late for the rider to arrest his arm,

months in the same hospital, renewed the
feelings of happier days while languishing on
adjacent cots, and in early May, 1865, when
all was over, two war worn veterans together
sought the old Barrett farm house-the one
to be richly paid, handsomely pensioned and
held In yearly increasing honor among the
victors; the other with only wounds and
glory for his pay. 1t is the old, old story Of
the survivors of civil war.

The Sir Knights of Everts Command
cry, Knights Templar, will be interested
in knowing how Apollo Commandery of
Chicago, the banner commandery of the

A very beautiful ceremonial service

cage, st. Bernard, Chevslier Bayard, and
Englewood communicates will attend,
making turnout of uniformed Knights
of fully 600 in line
The religious service will consist of the
regular office of evening prayer and the
Rev. DIR. Clinton Locke, past grand pres
late OF the United States, will preach on
the occasion. The musical setting of
the service will he exceedingly elaborate
and beautiful. 1t has been arranged for
the occasion by Sir Knight Henry B.
Roney, musical director of Grace church.
The service committee appointed by
Eminent Commander Dewitt G. Cregier
consists of Sir Knights Lawrence A
Spicer, W. W. Ramsay, and John
Loomis. Sir Knight Harris A Wheeler

The Knights Templars assembled will
escort the grand commandery of Illinois,

sion Chorus" from Gound's "Redemp-
ton, "gIven with trumpet obligato; Barn
by's King All Glorious" and the solo
ANGELS Ever Bright and Fair" by the
boy soprano, Blatchtford Kavanaugh.
All the details of the celebration will be
carried out with great care and the occa-
sion will be signalized by probably the
most impressive and beautiful ceremonial
service ever given in the west,

When the war was over, in tho south.
where, under warmer skies and with more
poetic temperament, symbols and emblems
are better understood than in the practical
north, the widows, mothers and children of
the Confederate dead went out and strewed
their graves with flowers, and Mt many places
the women scattered them impartially also
over the unknown and unmarked resting
places of the Union soldiers AS the news of
this touching tribute flashed over the north

national amity and love and allayed sectional
animosity and passion. II thrilled every
household. where there was n vacant chair by
the fircside and an aching void in the heart
for a lost hero whose remains had never been
found, old wounds broke out afresh, and in
mingled tempest of grief End joy the family
cried, ssMny be 1t was our darling" Thus
out of sorrows common alike to the north
and south came this beautiful custom. But
