had no money. The marshal was
notified, who took O'Brien to the city

Elock-up O'Brien drew revolver and
refused to enter. The marshal sent

When the deputy sheriff arrived the

cerely hopes that one and all will
enjoy themselves and. go home
feeling that life is worth the living.
! The writer can remember when
these reunions did not mean as
much to us all as they do now.
It was when most of the boys of
the war were in the full strength
of their manhood and the sickle
Of death had not yet cut down
SO many Of the brave veterans.
Their thoughts were fixed upon
longer lives and further duties.
But a change has come. Many
thousands Of the boys in blue have
answered the roll call, and this
binds those left closer together and
makes these reunions more dear to
their hearts. Most Of the remain
ing participants in the fierce strug-
giles of '6l to '65 are on the shady
side of life, as white hairs and
failing power can testify. The
ranks of the old veterans are be-
coming thinner every year, and
monuments of marble in every
grave yard from Maine to Califor-
MIA mark the places where COM
rades have gone to sleep. The
blue sky that arches our happy
land smiles upon the sod which
covers our heroes. The birds

"NIy Lost Youth"

Often l think of the beautiful town
That is seated by the sea;
Often IN thought go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear old town,
And my youth comes back to me.
And a verse of a Lapland song
Is haunting my memory still,
A boy S will is the winds will,
And the thoughts OF youth are long, long thoughts
l remember the black wharves and the slips;
And the sea-tides tossing free,
And Spanish sailors with bearded lips,
And the beauty and mystery of the ships,
And the magic of the sea.
And the voice of that Maynard song
Is singing and saying still,
boys will is the winds will
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts
l remember the CLEANS and glOoms that dart
Across the schoolboys brain,
The song and silence in the heart
That In part are prophecies, and In part
Are longings wild and vain.
And the voice of that fitful song
Sings on and is never still,
A boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts
