That left their graves in the churchyard to

An all that he said wuz gospel, an we'd huddle

An think we could see the COLLINS jest gallop-

The folks in the town all knowed hiu-laughed
at the tales he told
Bout sperits walkin arOun his bed dead
men diggin fer gold
An they made it up they'd fool him. So they
come to the house one night
Jest when he wuz tellin them awful tales bout
the COLLINS dressed in white.
Down from the roof fell a dollar in the middle
of the floor,
An Uncle Jim he grabbed it sorter looked
up fer
''This here from yer Uncle William, who owed
fer his graveyard lot.
I know that he sent it to me, fer it's powerful

Then some one groanod at the winder, an

AMERICANS AS A RULE
Are Not Favorably Disposed To-
wards Counterfeits.

Either counterfeit money or counterfeit
goods of any kind. The u. S. court,
sitting at Rochester N. Y, has ordered
an injunction against the sale of Grain
o in packages made to initiate the orig
inal Postum Cereal Food Coffe pack
ages.
The counterfeit in this case was put
out in packages having the red seals
and much of the wording of Postum,
and the nOn-discrin1inating public have
been given this or some one of the other
various limitations when calling at the
stores for the original Postum Cereal
Food Coffee.
These makers of articles to furnish
grocers with which to substitute" for
some original article have little idea of
hygienic or food value in a Cereal COT
fee. Some cOunterfeits are offered in
place of Postum because the package
weighs two pounds, while the genuine
package weighs but IA lbs. One coun-
terfeit two pound package looks like
Drowned rye kernals ground. 1t is
probably harmless enough but no idea
of food value is there. Postum is made
by skillfu1 food experts, 20 per cent be-
ing secured from the parts of the GER
eals containing the albumen and phOs-
pilates required by the human body to
rebuild the gray matter in the nerve
cells. This part also produces the dis
taste which digests starch. That's why
Postum makes red blood" and why
thoughtful people use it regularly Buy
ers should look for the red seals and

Grocers sell the original and genuine

MEMORIAL DAY.
Final Exercises Held on Last Satur-
day Afternoon.

Saturday afternoon at Hamilton hall
the regular Memorial day exercises
were held. Col. J. H. fitzpatrick of
Leavenworth was the orator Of the day.
In opening he said:
Citizens and Fellow Soldiers:-At
this time, chosen by some thoughtful
and poetic mind-When the green is
new and the flowers are in blOOn-the
nation lays aside its business and stays
It's pleasures to set apart day to the
memory of it's fallen sOldiery. 1t is
custom that grows with the revolving
year and teaches anew the story of the
past and adds new ferVOr to the love of
country. The churchyards of a people
touch the hearts of the living, and show
the tenderness of families, who gather
there the lost ones gone before The
little mounds appear wet with maternal
tears and then the aged pass away and
gIeam1ng marble marks the spot
How different the national cemeter-
les of the land. The multitude of the
soldier dead and buried there, and most
of these near prisons and great battle
fields, have naught to mark their rest
ing place save that single, melancholy
word. Unknown. Too many, indeed,
found hasty sepulchre on marches andi in
the forced retreat and lie in graves
now nameless-trampled and forgot. The
people in observance of this day, adopt
in sentiment, these sons as children of
their own, and deck with garlandS fresh
their lowly bed.
L
mo longer do we indulge the bitter
memories of our foe, nor handy epithets
but rather treat a fallen enemy with
floral tributes-aIl the same"
In conclusion he said:
The courage, daring, martial skill
displayed in that greatest of wars
taught the world the power of our coun-
try till none can doubt that the Amer
lean soldier is the equal of any other
man at arms. Slow to undertake the
soldier life at first, at last the people
rushed to the fray. The story is the
most conspicuous page of history We
need no experiments to show our apti-
tude for war. To speak of war without
the graVeSt hesitation seems strange
and incOnsiderate zeal. The defence of
the country, the punishment of foes and
the protection of our citizens is suffi-
GENTLY assured by the valOrous exam
pies Of the past.
This day and ceremonial teammates
the recollections of bravery and
achievements unsurpassed by any peo-
pie. Let US renew afresh our homage
for the soldier dead
- Let the sound of thase he wrought
for,
And the feet of those he fought for
Echo round his bones for evermOre'

SAVED FROM THE WRECK.
At the Auction Sentiment Spared the Lit
tie Rocking Horse.

At the Auction Sentiment Spared the Lit
tie Rocking Horse.
Everything had been swept away in the
crash-stOck of goods, business house,
home, even the household furniture-and
now the ruined man and his wife stood
with drawn and blanched faces as the auc-
tiOneer sold to the crowd of grasping and
curious strangers their household goods
and treasured heirIooms. Presently he
held up a rocking horse, battered, scratch
ed and paintless-the favorite plaything of
their little golden haired boy, now, alas,
without even a roof to shelter him.
The woman turned pale and the man
started forward and cried hoarsely:
mot thatl Oh, not thatr'
A sudden silence fell upon the gay and
frivolous crowd Of buyers, and the auction
eer, with a suspicion of moisture in his
eyes, turned and handed him the toy.
There were fathers and mothers among
that worldly and chattering mblage,
and that one touch of nature in the cry
forced from the parents heart softened
every soul present.
The man seized the faded rocking horse
and hurried, with the pale woman cling
ing to his arm, from the room.
They went to another part of the house,
and he set the horse lovingly and tenderly
upon the floor.
''How could you forget it?' asked the
woman reproachfully.

man, 'but had no opportunity

RELIGION AND BICYCLES.
A Mounted Squad of Christian En-
deavorers Formed in Plainfield.

Plainfeld, N. J., May 31.-In this city,
where about 5000 of the 10000 people
are bicycle riders, and many of them
enthusiasts, the church workers have
found that in the summer months many
persons sacrifice time usually devoted
to spiritual duties to bicycle riding. The
Union of Christian EndeavOr societies
decided last night on a plan which they
believe will be a solution of the prob
lem of maintaining an all-the-year
around interest. In accordance with
this plan the Christian Endeavor bicyc-
ling squad was organized, which is to
include in its membership all members
of the society who ride bicycles.
The movement is original with Plain
field, as was the first church bicycle run
arranged by the Rev. G. L. Goodrich of
the Congregational church last summer.
At frequent intervals runs will be ar
ranged, whereby exercise and the work
of the Endeavors can be united. The
runs will usually be to some neighbOr-
ing town, where religious exercises will
be held. The squad will be led by col
or bearer, who will display the pennant
of the union with its gold monogram c.
