something better to do, the boys of
company I had a stag dance on Tiger
avenue in front of the Lewistown row
of tents. which was a swell function
in every way. Around the camp fire
in front of the sergeant's tent the
boys waltzed and t~wo-stepped and
polkaed and also danced the Virginia
reel, quadrilles and many o~therfancy
dances. The welkin resounded with
the shouts OF revelry, attracting WIS.,
itors from other companies, and the
pace was kept up pretty fast until
taps sounded, just as the boys were
il the midst of an Indian ghost dance.
The latter was voted a bowling sue

Copies of the ARGUS are eagerly
valuable medium that we are able to
keep informed Of the progress OF
events at home. 1t is true that many
letters are daily received, but an eX-
animation OF their contents at once
discloses their worthlessness as cor
ductors of news. This statement be-
comes clear when it is considered that
most of them come from the girls
that were left behind. They are
therefore singularly alike in their
general tenor, and are confined to the
subjects uppermost in the minds Of
the correspondents.

nE1ORIAL DAY EXERCISES.
Appropriate Ceremonies Observing the Ma
tion's Day of Mourning.

Thanks to Prof. Vancil, Mrs. NJ. j.
Garrett and those who SO ably as
sisted them, Memorial day did not
pass unobserved in Lewistown, as
seemed likely a week before.
The teachers took the matter in
hand, received encouragement on all
sides, and the result was a gathering
at the hall Monday afternoon in
every respect worthy of the day and
the grand army which it commence
rated.
Rain marred the parade, not an
uncommon thing, but nevertheless
the school children, gaily attired, and
preceded by the stars and stripes and
the flag of free Cuba, marched to the
hall, followed by an admiring throng,
and when all had entered there was
hardly standing room left.
The exercises opened with the sing
ing OF America" Miss Marion Vel
don read an essay on Memorial day
worthy of a graduate, and h chill
dren, who had been decked in red,
white and blue and carried flags,
marched upon the stage and sang
several patriotic selections.
F. Z. Smith and Rev. Joel Vigus
were the orators, each speaking not
only of the sacrifice made by those
who had given their livys during the
war of the rebellion, but making
touching reference to the brave boys
who had marched forth from their
homes during the past month to do
battle once more in the cause of lib
erty. The entire reconciliation of
north and south, as shown by the
TACT that those who wore the blue
and those who wore the gray are to-
day marching side by side against a
common foe, was dwelt upon by each
speaker as being perhaps the most
prominent feature of the present con-
f1ict. Company 1 and it's brave boys
came in for prayers and good wishes,
and each reference to them was
greeted with loud applause.

sang solos, the former 1.-THE Sword

The ~downpour of rain would not
permit of a large attendance at the
cemetery and the flowers and wreaths
were sent out by IL committee aud
placed upon the graves of the veter-
ans.
Each year it is noticeable that there
are fewer of the old guard in attend
ance, impressing the fact that one
after another death has claimed
them.

Miss Helen Gould.

All America Is proud OF Helen
Gould. Not alone for the NUM-
fcence of her contributions of
money to provide for Our invaded
troops, but for her simple, un-
affected womanliness and the spirit
with which she has entered into
the work of relief.
At time of year when the aver
age woman of wealth is at the
seaside or her country seat, her
mind engrossed with social conques Z
or the trivolities If fashion, Hell. n
Gould has remained where she
could be of the most service to her
country and its defenders. Her
gifts of money have been COM
mensurate with her fortune, but
she has not been content with NEE
giving; she has worked and planned
and contributed in hundreds of ways
by personal effort to the comfort of
the soldiers in health and the care
Of those that are i'll.
When the list of heroines in the
Hispano American war shall be
written it may be that Helen
Gould's name shall lead all the
rest.

Tells About It-Other sermons Yes
terday.
Rev. Charles c. Bateman, OF
Pittsburg, who is regimental chap.
lain of the Sixteenth infantry, U.
S. A., talked to big audience in
the Fourth Avenue Baptist church
yesterday on the subject OF the
Santiago campaign. He spoke OF
the unpreparedness of the nation
for war, and the vigor with which
some authorities opposed the war
to no avail.
Then the speaker related the ex-
petitions to Cuba, the horrors OF
the transport ships, the inadequate
accommodations, the miserable and
scanty supplies both Of food and
medicines, the lack of proper cloth
ing, and the horrors of the hospital
and the camp after arrival there.
He pictured the Cuban as a COW
ard, thief and an migrate, and pre-,
dicted that before the question OF
the governing of Cuba was settled
the United States would have war
on its hands with the Cuban insur-
gents. He described the lombard
ment of the land batteries by the
American fleet, and told of the
wonderful accuracy and the
rapidity of the American
fire. He described the capture OF
the block houses of FL Caney and
the storming of San Juan hill. He
told of the necessity of feeding the
worthless Bubans and the refugees
which took from the Americans the
food intended for their own use and
of the horrors of yellow fever and
diserse in the hospitals. He then
stated that the conditions were
such that 1t was utterly impossible
to properly care for the wounded
and the sick and stated that the
supplies were inadequate. For all
the suffering" he concluded, there
must be some one responsible. The
real ones will never be puniseed.
1t is proposed now, to sacrifice
some one among the public Off
Gals, who did nothing but obey
the popular clamor. Santiago sur
rendered not because she was
whipped, but because her soldiers
had not been paid and were hungry
and knew if they gave up we
would feed them. We accomplished
what we want to do without being
prepared to do it. No army ham
pered aud handicapped as we were
could have done better. No army
ever did so we'll. Find your victims
and sacrifice them. The guilty will
go unwhipped of justice"

Nagging, scolding and furnishing
a child for every little mistake or
failure to perform all that is re-
CURED, seldom does any good to
those concerned. 1t has a tendency
to make the delinquent hard-headed
and sullen, and destroy all kind
feeling between the parties con-
cerned. We know that those who
deal with. youths and children are
often sorely tried, made nervous
and "out of sorts" at he mistakes
and delinquencies that constantly
happen, but nevertheless, kindness
patience and forbearance will in
time accomplish wonders in over
coming the evils that ought to be
corrected. Said an old philosopher
in speaking of parents duty to
his children: "Never tire, never
grow cold, be patient, sympathetic,
tender;look upon the budding flower
and opening heart; hope always,
like God; love always-this Is duty

trine covers a great deal of ground
and is we'll for all OF US to remem-
her who deal with the young.
