feeling that they had paid due
respect to the memory of the de-
parted boys in blue and gray and
to the friends and relatives. All
we're honored alike, the grave Of
the infant and the aged. The de-
tachments were met at the ceme-
teries by the citizens who par.

were solemn and impressive. The
various detachments visited SO
cemeteries and strewed flowers
upon 1,742 graves. May the good
work go on year after year until
there will not be a cemetery nor
a single grave in this glorious
land OF ours. but that will re-
ceive the respect due to those
who have crossed that dark and
turbulent stream called death.
The history OF this day and the
circumstances under which we
were assembled makes this day
one of supreme interest to us all.
In the past. men have recognized
and rightly, the heroism Of those
who died for human rights aud
the universal good OF mankind.
From the valiant kings Of Rome

to remember the heroic dead. In
this beautiful service we recall
not only the acts and deeds of
the boys OF 81. but the noble
lives OF all who were sacrificed In
the cause of human virtue, liber-

We might with great profit
consider their cause. their sac

There it is that we dwellupon
