MEMORIAL DAY.
Its Observance Will Be Eept Up After
 the Soldiers Have Departed.

the Soldiers Have Departed.
 Thirty years ago, when General John A, Logan, then commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Rel uilic. issued the order designating May 30 as Decoration day (since changed to Memorial day) and called upon the members of tho posts to assemble in their halls, march to the celne- teries and with appropriate ceremonies strew flowers upon the graves of the de- parted soldiers, he did service for his coun- try only second in value to that country to his deeds regiInental, brigade, di- vision, corps and army commander. That year, 1868, the Grand Army was new, ard its members composed of young men. There were no gray hairs, dull eyes or bent forms then. These young men the day before gathered blossoms and deposited them in their halls. On the 3Oth they as- sembled formed line and marched to the cemeteries, lovingly placing the blossoms of spring upon the graves of their former associates, sang a patriotic air and dis banded.
 From that small beginning in 1868 Memorial day has grown to be one of the most impressive and useful of all of the holidays. The ceremonies introduced at the call of Logan three years after the war have resulted in thousands of patriotic PAN&OASON Protestant and Catholic; thousands of ad- dresses, many of them by the first orators of the nation; beautiful, impressive and attractive ceremonies in nearly all of the public and private schools yearly.
 In these memorial ceremonies there is an entire absence of everything calculated to disturb the harmony between the people of the north and the south. On the con- trary, they are of such a character as to bring closer together the people of the north and the south, the east and west, and center their hearts and minds on the one great country and its one beautiful, much meaning emblem, the stars and stripes.
 There may have been a time when the ex-soldiers of the north and the south en- tertained fears that when they left the stage of action Memorial day ceremonies would be abandoned. That day passed long ago. The veterans, looking through dim eyes, and some of them through tears of gratitude, see swinging into line the national guard, the republics new army, millions of school children, the churches and great numbers of other citizens, to take the place of the old armies mustered out, to perpetuate the valuable and beau tiful Memorial day ceremonies.-C Chicago Times Herald.

FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE.
Each Recurring Memorial Day DawnS or

Each Recurring Memorial Day DawnS on
 Fewer of the War Veterans.
 The lapse of another year has deci- mated the ranks of those who stood shoulder to shoulder with the martyrs of war, but who were spared to the ma tion to help cement the peace they won, and there will be vacant places to evoke fresh tears when the survivors gather about the sacred mounds in the cities of the dead The scars of bullets and bereavement have been healing a little more as time has laid on the salve of it's consultations, but the hands tkat bore rifles to victory have been aging apace, and as they are stretched out today to lay on the tombs of their dead comrades the floral tribute of undying remem- brance they will tremble with the bur den of years as they formerly trembled with the burden of fresh sorrow.
 And when these steadfast souls, in the fulfillment of the Memorial cere. monial, anon straighten up in line and step forth to the solemn cadence of the music that once thrilled their hearts with eagerness for the clash of arms there will be some seen to totter and some will be stragglers and some will fall by the wayside and all will testify to the approaching end of their battle of life. Memorial day to these is some- thing that sounds the depths of their hearts, most intense emotions.
 But the memories which are instinct with personal participation to them touch chord only little less respon- sive in the new generations which have arisen or are growing @p about them. The brave fight they fought is sacred heritage ill the patriotism of every true American. The children of the war and their children have drunk in at the mothers knee or ill the schoolhouse the glorious record in the nations history made by these heroes-those dead and those living. They have grown into manhood or are growing into manhood with this love for the defenders of the Union deeply implanted.
 The memories of those soldiers who have gone are safe in the keeping of the new generations. The feeble hand of the veteran will be supported by the strong arm of youth while he makes his floral offering at the tomb, and when that feeble hand becomes still in final peace youth will take on himself the annual labor of love. The tottering steps of the wars survivors will slaoken slowly year by year until they finish at last life's journey, but the march will still go on and on with recruits from the ranks of the sons and grandsons of these veterans Chicago Tribune

A prominent business man recently ex- pressed the opinion that there is one thing that will prevent women from completely filling mans place in the business world they can't be depended upon because they are sick too often. This is refuted by Mrs. c. w. Mansfield, business woman of 58 Farrar St., Detroit, Mich, who says:

Plans of His Fellow Prisoners.
 "There were some traitors even in the Union army, remarked a veteran. II saw one of them meet his end, although was sorry to see him die in just the way he ldid.

 Somehow or other, though, the prison officials always learned of every plan we made out, and we were at loss to discov- CT who had betrayed us, until one day we caught Union soldier who had been nicknamed Chickamauga giving informa- tion to one of the guards. When we up- braided him, he weakened and began to cry, saying that he had told on us in the hope of getting his own release thereby. There were hundreds of men in the prison at that time, and we made the poor fel- lows life miserable for him from that time on. We refused to speak to him or
 
 long before he began to feel the disgrace deeply.
 "At Camp Sumter, as at most of the rebel prisons, there was dead line-that is, low wooden fence inside the walls of the stockade, beyond which no prisoner could go without mourning the risk of be- ing shot. The guards had orders to shoot every prisoner who crossed the dead line, eVon though he put only his hand across it, and they usually carried out the order with eagerness.
 "One day Chickamauga orawled under the dead line and begged the guard to shoot him. The guard was more tender hearted than the usual run of them and refused. He pitied the man and ordered him back inside the line. A day or two later Chickamauga, determined not to endure the silent contempG of his fellow prisoners any longer, crawled under the line again, and when the guard again re- fused to shoot him he began to taunt and insult the fellow until he worked him up to such a pitch of exasperation that he raised his rifle and fired. That was the last of informers in that prison for awhile, anyway. "-Buffalo Express.

Good Health Restored.
George A. BarAbeault Is Free From "That Tired FeeIing,'' and Is Un- bounded 1n His Praise of the
 Remedy Used.
From the Tslegra'n, Worcester, Mass.

From the Telegram, Worcester, Mass
 MT. George A. Baribeault, of No. 5 Green Street, Worcester, Mass, is a young man who is Worcester born and bred. He re- eeived his education in WOreester's schools and is we'll and favorably known to large circle of friends and acquaintances here. His father was local musician of some repute, having been years ago prominently connected with the organization then known as the " French Band" which is now '' Wor- cester's famous Battery B Band"
 George is now the proprietor of store on Green Street, where he sells cigars, tobacco, periodicals, confectionery, etc. Formerly he was an armorer and worked at his trade in the pistol factory of the Harrington and Richardson Arms Company, on Park Ave nue. About two years ago while ln their employ he became "run down, the exact ing work at his machines making him very nervous. His appetite was poor, his diges- tion imperfect, and his blood in such bad condition that small wounds on his hands would take weeks to heal. He felt that surely something must be done, as work had become a burden, owing to the loss of strength and ambition. He had thorough dislike for medicine of any kind, but through the earnest solicitation of his wife to do something to restore his health, and on the recommendation of friends he was induced to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 Very soon after beginning to use them he felt their beneficial effect, and continuing their use, he was soon brought around to perfect health which he continues to enjoy. He is now the picture of good health; his digestion is restored to normal conditions, and has an appetite to match his digestion, and the good blood bound to come through this combination circulates through his veins and gives healthy glow to his face and is complete evidence of health restored:
 MT. Baribeault procured Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People at the drug store of Mir. A. w. Andrews, on the corner of Main and Wellington Streets. MT. Andrews says: q have numerous calls for these pills and I receive many reports of their efficient help in restoring vigor and health to their users"
