Its scope and Deepeaisg
Of Xts Meanlng.

The popular feeling in regard to our
national holiday Of remembrance has
come almost to the parting of the ways.
The ranks Of the living who fought in
the great contest grow thinner and
thinner; the multitude for whom the
holy day Il become merely holiday
is constantly increasing as the years
of battle recede. II tine peculiar inn
press which the day was intended to
have is to be maintained there must be
an enlargement of its scope and deep
ening Of its meaning. 1t must not cease,
indeed, to be sacred to us as memorial
Of those who died upon the battlefield
and in the hospital or prison. but it
must also give expression to our treas
ured memories of lives which were dear
and efforts which have been fruitful in
all parts Of the great battlefield of life.
Patriotism must not merely join with
civic pride; It must be kindled also by
the fires of personal affection II we are
to hold the day to its appointed use.
y In the broader view war is an acci-
dent of civil life and its sacrifices stand
upon no higher plane than those of
many Of the devoted ones who never
wore a uniform, Even when the trum-
pet sounds and men spring up from
shop and field and freside to fling back
the foe, the sacrifice of those who give
them up-of mothers, sweethearts,
wives and friends-in its quiet, unpre-
tending heroism, is worthy to be meas
ured with the excited feeling and the

field. Men go to meet, they hardly can
know what-risks of the march and bat
tle-but women know too well what
loneliness and impotence to help in
dreary days will mean to those who cam
not go. 1t Is time that the mothers
heroism and the wife's ungrudging sac
rifice should have their true place in our
thoughts as we come to the resting
places of the dead with flowers. Love
grows by access Of other true and loyal
loves. There will be NO loss of honor to
the soldiers Of the war II those who kept
or waited for the soldiers home. wait
ing, too many Of them, alas, in vain,
are honored.
Think Of the men who in
these years Of peace would willingly
have given life for their country's needi
Shall we imagine that there has been
no opportunity in quiet days for self
denial and self-sacrifce as memorable
as any war reveals? Who knows the
heroes of his own neighborhood--the
men for whose contest no bugle blows
and no chevron leads In the exhilarating
charge, women who endure without APP
plause and even without sympathy?

At.ths window. with my crutches, ~ the
daylight fades away,
lit and watch the shadows meath the
hoary naples play;
It 4 then hear the music Of = bugle loud
2 and shrill,
And the long roll In the twilight seems to
come from yonder hill:
But awake or dreaming ever can see the
old blue lines.
And again the army marches-marches
underneath the pines-
With tread that echoes ever in the vet
eran's heart to-day.
Marches still that grand old army, 'mong
the trees so far away:
And see its banners floating proudly
'gainst the azure sky.
Just as though beneath my window 1t to-
day were passing by;
can recognise the comrades touching ell
bows as OF yore.
With 4 beautiful devotion that will live
forever more:
And the sun in cloudless heavens upon
blade and hay'net shines.
And the breexes stir the pennons OF the
army In the pines.
Sitting here count the marches one can
never more forget.
I can see the cleaning camp-hres when
the stars their watch have set:
Yonder rides the graybeard colonel. with
a comrades smile for all.
That morning in the wilderness. he was
the first to fall:
I remember how we laid him meath the
dark green branches low,
And turned to meet the charges of the ever
valiant foe:
/ seem to hear wars thunder as II rolled
along our lines.
Waking not the dear old colonel. sleeping
tweetly meath the pines.
But my crutches oft remind me that our
battle flags are furl'd,
That where we fought the angel Peace pro-
claims to all the world
That love cements the sections and that,
brothers true to-day,
Beneath the starry banner fair stand both
the Blue and Gray;
The roses bloom in beauty where we heard
the mad shells scream.
And southern lilies grow beside the squad
ron guarded stream,
And everywhere, this sacred day, love
gratefully entwines
A fragrant wreath In memory Of the army
Ia the pines.
The sound OF music thrills me; they are
coming down the street.
plainly hear upon the wind the tramp
Of many feet:
With natures treasures beautiful they
march again to keep
Memorial day and crown the boys where
side by side they sleep:
They see me at the window and salute me
as they pass,
lift my hand and smile on them. but very
soon they pass.
Ny old. old eyes grow misty and cannot
see the lines.
Though seem to hear the army once again
among the pines.
There's another army marching meath
the heavens soft and blue,
Its leaders are not many now. its privates.
too, are few:
One by one they cross the river to the camp
where all II still.
Where drums to battle never beat and
bugies never thrill:
Memorial day grows sweeter a. the long
Year, glide away,
And loving nature Yields her gifts alike for
Blue and Gray:
And soon where the last veteran sleeps
will creep the summer vines,
And evermore will silent be the camps
among the pines.

frai! body could hear, and for TINT rea-
son he was made much Of by the other
members OF the family. But men were
needed, her sons thought IT their place
to go, and it was not her part to stand
in the way Of their duty to their coun-
try.
Month after month wore sway. The
mother watched anxiously for each
mail, and was occasionally rewarded
with letter, always from 'sher baby.
He told her Of his brothers, of the army,
Of their camp life, OF their marches and
their battles, but OF himself he told her
little except that he was A. well a. usual,
But the mother read between the lines.
The hardships OF campaigning was
wearing away '.hcr baby health. and
how she longed for him.
And then one day letter came from
Hiram. His brother. the mothers
baby" was III, and they would send
him home to her. She could feel al
most glad that he was sick for IL would
bring him back. How carefully she
would nurse him, and by the time the
war was over he should be well again.
But the mothers hopes were not to be
realized. "Her baby" came home to her
only to be taken away again forever.
She watched beside HIS bedside; size did
all the many little things that only q
mother knows how to do, but without
success. Long before the war was over
they had laid him in the little cemetery
and his furlough was extended into
eternity.

THE BROTHERS MEET.


and Josiah Walker, to be divided equal
ly or worked together. as the brothera
might choose. For several years they
farmed their land together, and then
Hiram married. After that the land
was divided, Hiram taking the part on
which the home stood for himself and
his bride, and Josiah was to make his
home with them.
Added to the ties of blood were the
ties Of comradeship on the battlefelds
Of the south, and they seemed INSOFAR
able. Nothing, II seemed, could come
between them. They assisted each 9TH
er In their work, they shared each 9TH
er's earnings; they made It point to
plant at the same time; they reaped
their crops at the same time, and they
sold the products Of their farms to the
same men. Their lives were the happy
ones Of peace and good will.
And then came time of doubt. Of
hard words. and all the comradeship Of
the past WINS forgotten.
It was In the winter time, and both
brothers were fattening hogs for mar
ket. The pens In which their hogs were
kept adjoined. and day after day they
had stood together and remarked about
the condition of the stock. One morn
ing as Josiah came out to the barnyard
he found his brother counting hb hogs,
and as he reached his side Hiram turned
to him and said:
Josh, there's board loose and one
of my shoats has worked its way into
your pen. think it's the spotted one
in the corner there"
Guess you're mistaken, Hiram;
that's my pig; this old SOW here is his
mother. You'll have to look again. HI
ram, to find your shoat."
"But guess know my shoat when
] see It. Josh. and tell you that spot
ted pigs mine. I'll git In an catch It
and put 1t back In my pen"
you'll do nothin' Of the kind. That
spotted pigs mine, tell you. an you'll
let It alone where It is. ! don't believe
you've lost q shoat. anyway"
And 70 the quarrel started. A pig
that either would have gladly given the
other had he asked IT was to come be.
tween them.
At his first opportunity Hiram car
ried ont his intention Of putting the pig
into his own pen, and In less than "a
hours afterwards he was arrested on
a warrant sworn out by his brother.
The case went through the justice
court with decision for Josiah; when
appealed to the grand jury the decision
was the other way. At q retrial the de-
cision was again reversed, and then II
went 10 the state courts, where IL was
tried time after time, until now IL had
reached the supreme court, and Hiram
hoped to have the last decision against
him reversed.
During the progress Of ths case both
brothers had become heavily involved
in raising the money needed to pay
court and attorneys' fees. Hiram's
farm had bsen mortgsgsd, his ercps
sold to pay the same kind Of bills. The
needs Of his family had eounted for

To those who knew Ma" Walker the

She didn't intend to throw good money

that he could accomplish nothing BY
