rendered US by the Daughters of Veterans, Sons

who gave an invitation to L. A. s. and s. of V.

and half miles from the village. A ball was
also given in the evening. The patriotism
shown in the two days will be long remem-

The Work of Beautifying indianapolis Com

The work Of identifying indianapolis for
the coming National Encampment of the
GAR. has already been begun. The extensive
grounds surrounding the State Capitol will be
frightened by combinations of many colors
worked out in flowers Along the southern
and southwestern sides Of the lawn there will
be hower-beds reproducing in colors the GAR
badge and the W.R.C. badge each Is feet in

and other designs. Among the latter will be

30 feet. These designs will require thousands
Of flowers, and in order that the beds may
show the designs in perfect outline and coloring,
they must be carefully tended for several
months after being laid out, and to that end
the Florists Association of indianapolis has al
ready commenced its work upon them.
On the east side Of the ground, with her bow to
the southeast. there will be built full-siZed
model ofthe frigate Kearsarge, showing that his
toric craft on the day she fought and sank the
rebel cruiser Alabama Of the coast OF France
She will be full-rigged, and the cabin will be fit
ted up in true sea style. In all respects she will
be perfect reproduction OF the original. The
construction and rigging of the Kearsarge will
occupy about two months, and work upon her
will soon be begun.

e. come to again make one of those long
and tedious marches, passing in re-
view at indianapolis, for the pleasure it affords
the vast multitude who throng the avenues.
porches, verandas, hOuse-tOps, etc. have read
the article of Comrade Wellman, of Perham,
MIMI, with reference to canes in parades, to
which would suggest an amendment.
Instead of the old veterans being required
to make those long and tiresome marches at the
National Encampments, have them as If on in
spection dress in line, each Post or Department
In column of divisions or corps separately,
when the Commander-in-Chief as reviewing
officer with his staff and other officials could
ride and as he passed each division their COM
manders and stats should wheel into line
respectively with the reviewing officer, and so
on until the review was complete.
"By this system the old vets could be dis
missed alternately as they were reviewed. and
would not tire from standing or marching.
Last year at Washington the Delaware delega-
tion to which belonged, was posted in rear of
the Kansas delegation, east of the Capitol, at
$50 a. M, and we did not get started until after
p. M, and were cut out after gaslight, before
we had marched half the route. 1t was the
same case with the Tennessee veterans and
others.
1.-THE veterans are too far advanced in life to
stand these marches, and hundreds of them
do not attempt them. 1t seems to me that by
the system | suggest there could then be no
excuse for the comrades who are minus leg.
or suffering from rheumatism, varicose, and
other causes of whom there are many. They
could stand in line until after reviewed, then
go as they please.
"Comrade Wellman's cane suggestion is a good
one. provided it would not interfere with COM
rades bringing cane of his own choice cut
from his own community, so that each and all
could have the privilege of trading canes, as
you know trading was one of the peculiar
characteristics of the soldier.
81 make these amendments to the comrades
suggestion and would be pleased to know how
the old vets think about it,"

Our baby Earl sits on the floor
While Duke, his brother, older,
His TOTAL arts tries DER and DOR
To still the young beholder.
He makes q pony trct and walk,
And from chair he leaps;
Crosses the room with funny stalk,
Or slowly round 1t creeps.
Wesried of these the little one
Cries for his busy mother,
But with q ONE, TWO, FINAL drum,
Contrives his grief to smother.
The mother, summoned by the noise,
Enters the open door;
Comes TO the help OF both her boysg
Takes baby from the floor.
Soon Earl IL sleeping in hts bed,
Suppressed Is noise and riot;
While patient mothers aching head
Enjoys the peace and quiet.
Perhaps she'll think In years to come
OF Duke and baby's play,
And sigh to hear that rattling drum
When they are far away.

Pre-eminence of the Bean.

Beans are more nutritious than meat, and
IL is likely that at no distant day science will
devise some method of preparing them as food
that will overcome what is now the greatest
obstacle to their universal use, the difficulty
with which they are digested by persons either
not of robust stomachs or are sedentary in habit.
It is not at all unlikely that. with the growth
of population and the consequent increase in
the cost of animal food, they will take the place
of the latter to a considerable extent. They
are exceedingly rich in protein, or muscle-build-
ing substance. and, therefore, have power Of
sustaining men through arduous physical toll.
The lumbermen of Maine, it is said, almost live
on baked beans and never tire of them.

historic old town of Plymouth. Mass, so ably
conducted by Mrs Knapp since her husbands
death, is now closed for Summer vacation, but
reopens Oct. 1. Mrs. Knapp is one of the ad-
mirable Massachusetts, women who have made

President Martha B. Teats, of John Hance
Corps, Williamson, n. Y, gives an enthusiastic
account of how the Post and Corps kert Me-
mortal Day on the lovely banks of Lake Onta-
RIO on which occasion Department Treasurer
Elizabeth B. Smith was the orator of the day.
Upon being introduced by President Teats,
Mrs. Smith made an address of 40 minutes in
length, which is described as thrilingly elo-
quent. Commencing with the landing of Co
lumbus and touching briefly the salient events
of four centuries, she came to the memorable
period of the civil war, depicting in vivid colors
the patriotism and perils of that heroic time
All who heard her lived again through that
awful struggle, ending with the dawn of peace
and the triumph of the old flag, for which so
many thousands gave up their lives

dent Amanda J. Tisdell, Kearney, Neb, for
a copy of the very neat and interesting Jour-
nal of Proceedings of the Ninth Convention
Department of Nebraska, WR.C, prepared I'M
der her supervision. There is excellent read
ing in this journal, aside from the able report
of the President, showing how thoroughly
alive our Western women are to the best inter-
ests of every Order to which they belong.
There is caustic and merited report of the
10th National Convention by Eliza c. Pills
bury, Delegate at Large, who also introduced
resolutions, which passed Convention, calling
upon National Convention to limit its sessions

Frank L. Seage, of Lansing, Mich. May %, in
the 23d year of her age.
Although so mOurnfully brief her life was
perpetual inspiration to all who knew her; in
girlhood, as an unselfsh daughter, friend, and
helper; in the successful performance of the
absorbing duties of professional teacher. and,
after her marriage in 1891, in her assduous de-
votion to The cares and responsibilities of home
life.
Mrs. Seage, though not an officer of the Wo-
mans Relief Corps was an enthusiastic and
helpful member of our Order. She was the
daughter of Sarah A. g. Plummer, Mich igan's
Department President during the year of 1888,
and was, while her mother held that office,
devoted assistant, voluntarily accepting much
care and toll, and helping with intelligent
grasp and broad scope in the successful man
She was an ideal young woman, of charming
