There Should Be an Enlargement of
Its Scope and a Deepening
of Its Meaning.

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 is become merely a holiday
is constantly increasing as the years
of battle recede. If the peculiar i'm
press which the day was intended to
have is to be maintained there must be
an enlargement of its scope and a deep
ening of it's 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 if we are
to hold the day to it's appointed use.
In the broader view war is an acct
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 fireside 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
self-surrender of the camp and battle
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. It 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 if 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 need!
Shall we imagine that there has been
no opportunity in quiet days for self
denial and self-sacrifice 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?
That is a poor heart which cannot be
stirred to memory and admiration ex-
cept by waving flags, the blare of trum-
pets and the orators eXultant periods.
War reveals historic hearts-it cannot
create them.-Congrega

AT the window, with my crutches, as the
daylight fades away,
SIT and watch the shadows meath the
hoary naples play;
II Is then I hear the music of a bugle loud
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
Grams heart to-day,
marches still that grand old army, 'mong
the trees so far away;
ana L see its banners floating proudly
gainst the azure sky,
just as though beneath my window 1t to-
day were passing by;
can recognize the comrades touching ell
bows of yore,
With a beautiful devotion that will live
forever more;
And the sun in cloudless heavens upon
blade and bay'net shines,
And the breezes stir the pennons of the
army In the pines.
Sitting here count the marches one can
never more forget,
L can see the cleaning camp-fires when
the stars their watch have set;
Xonder rides the graybeard colonel, with
a comrades smile for all.
That morning in the wilderness, he was
the first to fall;
remember how we laid him meath the
dark green branches low,
And turned to meet the charges Of the ever
valiant foe;
I seem to hear wars thunder as It rolled
along our lines,
Waking not the dear old colonel sleeping
sweetly meath the pines.
But my crutches oft remind me that our
battle flags are furPd,
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
fragrant wreath in memory Of the army
in the pines.
The sound of music thrills me; they are
coming down the street,
I 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,
I lift my hand and smile on them, but very
SOOA luey 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 prfvates,
too, are few;
One by one they cross the river to the camp
where all is STILL
Where drums to battle never beat and
bugles never thrill:
Memorial day grows sweeter as the long
years 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.

these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave St. Louis on Wabash train
No, 8, at 9.20 a. M, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at 1l.3O
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between st. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at els.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only I'M
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col

Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas

A wellknown novelist delivered lecture
recently in which he read selections from
his own works. His reputation and the So
ciety that engaged him brought together an
audience composed of the best people of the
neighborhood; After the lecture, when
people met, it was the proper thing for one
to ask the other:
"Were you at the lecturer" And the
answer in every case:
"Oh, yes! / was there, but didn't hear
a word. Did you hear the lecture"
''Well, no! was there, but couldn't
hear, either"
A friend who met the novelist few days
after his visit to the suburban town asked
him what kind of audience he had, and how
he liked the town.

THIS IS A "HOT" ONE.
Lake CRYSTAL MINI .Julv 31st

Lake Crystal, Mimi, July 31st, 1897.
April 9Th, 1892, my little boy, Just. four
years old, was terribly scalded by falling
backward into a pail full of boiling water.
He fell into it in such a manner that he re-
manned doubled up until his mother, who
was in the next room, could come to his res
cue. In tearing his clothing from him, the
skin and flesh came off in strips, and the
mothers hands were badly burned. The
skin came off his body from above the middle
of the back to below the calves of his legs.
The burn was deep and the case desperate.
For two months he was under the care OF our
family physician. We then took him to st.
Paul and acting under his alvice called in one
of the leading surgeons of the city, who took
the case in charge. Other physicians were
called in consultation; sixty pieces of skin
were grated at one time, yet notwithstand-
ing all the skill of the doctors and the most
unremitting care, two months afterwards all
hope had been given up. For months he
had lain on pillows with his face down and
suffered terribly. He had no appetite and
could retain nothing on his stomach.
The sores were indolent and for two
months had lain perfectly dormant, My
attention was then called to Aliens Uterine
Salve, and in desperation, ready to try any
thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent at once: 1t at
once aroused the, sores to action and stimu-
boys strength up with a preparation of
beef's blood and wine, and in about two
months he was well on the road to reco very,
and we were able to remove him back to our
home. Thirteen months from the time he
was injured he was perfectly restored. It
has been over four years since the cure was
effected and the boy is perfectly well and
remarkably strong and active. I believe
that Aliens Ulcerine Salve saved his life, as
when we commenced its use all hopes had
been given up, and blood poisoning was ex-
pected to set in any moment, It was four
months after he was burned before We be
gan to use the Salve. Signed, II. E. WOODS,

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 away. The
mother watched anXiously for each
mail, and was occasionally rewarded
with a letter, always from her 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 as we'll as usual.
But the mother read between the lines.
The hardships of campaigning was
wearing away "her baby's" health, and
how she longed for him.
And then one day letter came from
Hiram. His brother, the mothers
''caby." was Ill, and they would send
him home to her. She could feel al
most glad that he was sick for it would
bring him back. How carefully she
would nurse him, and by the time the
war was over he should be we'll 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; she did
ell the many little things that only
mother knows how to do. but without
success. Long before the war was over
they had laid him in the little cemetery,
and his furIough was extended into
eternity.
