the winds of time were blowing away leaves of
recollection every hour and ruthlessly scatter
ing them in n way that admitted OF no recall.

tion due posterity for them to record the evil
dences Of their valor. Forget not, he said. to
record history Of your military service, even
though you were a private IN the ranks, and to
also put it down that it was the private who
saved the country. The speaker said that the
kinsman he was proudest Of was his great grand
father, who as private helped to beat the vet
Grams Of the British army at Saratoga, helped
to make the America Of today, and died in hos
pital from a wound received while aiding COM
patriots to compel the surrender of Burgoyne.
He referred to the pride which the children of
the comrades present would feel in reading in
after years a record of their fathers service.
