The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-09-23

indeed blotting out, the fine record Of many
years spent brilliant and fearless soldier
and dying unhonored and unioved by either
country. OF such it's bitter pain to speak,
and we turn the leaves slowly until we
come to other names around which almost
a halo seems to glow
Instantly is banished the listiess mien and
eagerly we tell Of our heroes old and young
and of none more gladly than OF Nathan
Hale, the martyr What a selfiess man he
seems to have been, first leaving his cher
ished books to fight for mother country then
volunteering to assume a role deeply dis
tasteful to his open nature. Surely no greed
OF gain or insatiate ambition was his, only
glad willingness to show answering 10y
atty. Finally, when came discovery, can
words picture the bitterness that filled his
soul he heard himself branded with the
hateful title OF spy and learned he was not
to die soldiers death by musket ball
And so we next him in the gray dawn
OF that September morning standing pinioned
and bound, waiting only for the slipping of
the lgnomlnious moose to go to meet his
God. But ere that rope do its CHASTITY
work, ring out brave words which have
echoed through more than a century, fit
words to serve as a bugle call to all patriots
of all times and all countries.
What varied sensations crowd into our
minds as We study 80 fair a character.
Sorrow and love as we grieve for the shat
tered hopes the ending Of such life must
have brought to loved and loving hearts.
Exaltation and admiration as we contem-
plate its simple grandeur, and pride we
are thrilled by its patriotism. And SO to-
day, as we light around his bier the candles
OF an eyer-grateful love- and our hearts shout
a dirge to his memory; yet, through its
solemn strains, like refrain, run the glad
some notes of great jubilate. For We can
but rejoice that to us belongs the honor of
claiming for our own this American noble
man.
The following letter was also read by
the secretary, Mrs. Henry Schurmeier,
from the Minneapolis chapter Of the
D. A. r.. of Minneapolis:
We, the committee In behalf of the Mime
apois chapter of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, send cordial greeting to our
honored state regent, Mrs. Newport, and to
the daughters OF the st. Paul and Nathan
Hale chapters and congratulate them upon
the success and generous manner in which
they contributed to the entertainment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at it's encamp-
ment just held In st. Paul.
We also give expression OF our high ap-
probation OF the courtesies shown the
Minneapolis chapter during the eyentful sea-
son, and will long remember with grateful
slowed.
A just pride prompts us to mention the
dignity. grace and cordially with which our
state regent, Mrs. Newport, presided at the
reception given In honor OF the soldiers OF
the republic, and we feel that the Daughters
of the American Revolution were not only
Worthily represented by her, but new honors
were added to the patriotic and ifiustr4ous
record OF our order By the committee,
