more history has been made and more pro-
gress marked than in any other era since
the acts of human beings were told in
written annals. Within the next quarter
of century the participants in the great
struggles of the civil war will be known
only in memory, and the bravest army
that defeated the bravest foe will have
disbanded forever. The tragic drama will
be told in song and story, but the actors
in the scenes Of carnage whose charmed
lives defied the whizzing bullets and the
screaming shell will have obeyed the i'm
mutable laws Of Father Time, leaving to
their descendants the glorious heritage Of
n valorous and unsullied name.

mourning nation kneels
Kncels to pray and scatter blossoms under
meath their measured tread.
And stoops to bless the spectral pale bat
taions Of the dead.
Once was weeping In the village, once were
tears Ike winter rain,
When that grand old army marched away
and came not back again.
There was music IN the bugle blast and
music in the air,
But death was In the roar of battle. battle
everywhere;
Mid the thunder OF the cannon and the
shrek of shot and shell,
In the shouting OF the bluecoats and the
grewsome rebel yell.
Mid the rattle of the musketry. their COM
rades' dying cheer,
Glory crowned the war-worn veteran and
eager volunteer,
And now the grim old peasioner, whose
ranks are thinning fast,
Fights all his battles over. from the first
unto the last.
Bull Run to Appomattox, from Atlanta TO
Each tells different story. but the stories
oil agree,
And we who stand and listen feel our eager
pulses thrill.
As they tell the tales of slaughter. and we
see them living still,
And our hearts beat fast and faster yet
against a cruel fate,
That for the cause of war and arms our
souls were born too late.
But the graves are heaped with blossoms
and the pensioners are fed,
For we honor still the living. and cannot for
get the dead.

A SCHOOL GIRLS BATTLE.
From The Mail, Milford. Ind

From The Mail, MiJOrd, Ind
Miss Emma Rybolt, prepossessing
school girl, of Milford, Ind, is of more
than usual intelligence, and is ambitious
to rise in the literary world.
"In the fall of 1896" said Mrs. Rybolt,
Emma was taken i'll. She was a close
student and her work began to tell on her.
She grew weak. pale and nervous, and
complained of pains in her back, chest
and limbs. The doctor said she was a
victim of nervous prostration, and should
have been taken from school weeks ear
lier. She grew worse, her nerves were so
tense that the least noise irritated her
and she had a fever and 4 continual
twitchng in her muscles. The symptoms
were much like ST. Vitus' dance.

had just learned in school, while the drum
beat softly and the Stars and Stripes
waved tenderly above the headstone.
After that they marched slowly back,
with little hearts soft and grateful toward
all the brave soldiers in all the brave land.
The flowers kept fresh for several days,
and TO the birds sweet songs above the
place, the trees waved a soft reply. Many
passed by and saw the work of loving
hands. while eyes grew moist and voices
trembled as they said that nowhere, on
this Memorial Day, could brave soldier

The policy of this country regarding for

conservative. The Monroe doctrine will
be sustained, but patience and prudence in

use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
