San Francisco, July 10.
This morning the "new order" was
put in force, so we have little else to
do except drill, eat, change suits, and
scour guns and belts. In the morn
ing our first drill is from seven to
eight o'clock. We change suits, and
in thirty minutes are taken out to the
reservation for three hours regiment
al or battalion drill. BY the time we
get back II is time to eat and by the
time we get our dishes washed it
is time to 90 to drill again. Soon
after drill it is time for dress parade.
We are all hoping that peace will
soon be declared, or else some one
will persuade the push to get us
moved to the Philippines.
The orders Issued to move all the
troops to the reservation have not
been put in force. If they are not
moved pretty soon half of them will
be lost In the sand, The Kansas boys

One thing about the new orders lie
gratifying to the boys: All the COM
mssioned officers have to go out to
drill as well as the privates. Today
is the second time since our arrival
here that all three commissioned of.
ficers have been out together, and
all the nOn-cOms. never have been cut
together. Now for the order that
makes all get out.

will not be abused.

April 5th, 1892, my little boy, just four

backward into a pail full of boiling water.

thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent at once; 1t at
once aroused the sores to action and stimu-

months he was well on the road to recovery,

hard words. and all the comradeship of
the past was forgotten:
| 1t 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 his hogs,
and as he reached his side Hiram turn ed
to him and said: .'
"Josh, there's a board loose and one
of my shoats has worked it's way into
your pen. I 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 1 know my shoat when
I see it, Josh, and tell you that spot

and put it back in my pen.'
"You'll do nothin' of the kind. That
spotted pigs mine, 1 tell you, an you'll
let it alone where it is. Tdon't believe
you've lost a shoat, anyway"
And so the quarrel started. A pig

At his first opportunity Hiram car
ried out 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 a decision for Josiah; when
appealed to the grand jury the decision

In the dark days of 81 three brothers
responded to President Lincoln's call
for troops. They came from quiet
farm home in one of the northern coun-
ties of Indiana. All Of them left home
for the battlefields with a mothers
blessing on their heads, but the mothers
heart went out especially to the young g.
est, cher baby" He was but boy of 49,
to whom the hard work of the farm had
always been more of a burden than his
frail body could bear, and for that 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

was the other way. At retrial the de-
cision was again reversed, and then it
went to the state courts, where it was
tried time after time, until now it had
reached the supreme court, and Hiram
hoped to have the last decision against
him reversed.
During the progress of the case both
brothers had become Eeavily involved
in raising the money needed to pay
court and attorneys fees. Hiram s
farm had been mortgaged, his crops
sold to pay the same kind of bills. The
needs OF his family had counted for
naught against this legal monster. His
boy had left school that he might take
the place Of hired man and so save
by his schooling. The daughters had
done without the clothes they We're ac-
customed to. They and their mother
had worked over their old ones until
| they would bear no more, and then
| came this plea for just $50 more. Every
plea of this kind had promised to be
the last one since the case was first
started, and "Ma' Walker had finally

A little conference Of mother and

en-. They wanted clothes, and that
soon. Here was summer coming on and
all of their thin clothing was worn out
long before the last summer was over.
Something must be done to stop this

At the window, with my crutches, as the
daylight fades away, - -
I sit and watch the shadows meath the
hoary naples play;
1t is then hear the music OF a buSle 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 a 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 I see it's banners floating proudly
'gainst the azure sky,
Just as though beneath my window 1t to-
day were passing by:
I can recognize the comrades touching ell
bows as of yOre,
With 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,
I can see the cleaning camp-fres when
the stars their watch have set:
YonGer rides the graybeard colonel. with
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;
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 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, H.;
And everywhere, this sacred day, love,
gratefully entwines - 49, :
A 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 " r
They see me at the window and salute me
as they pass,
lift my hand and smile on them, but very
soon they pass,
My old, old eyes grow misty and cannot
see the lines,
Though I 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 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.

Before this lawsuit pa and Uncle Josh
always went together on Decoration
day to trim the bushes and fix the sod
and put on the flowers, but now they go
by themselves. Pa always goes in the
afternoon and Uncle Josh in .he morn
ing, and each takes care. of one side of
the grave. Maybe if we could get them
20 go at the same time, and have them
meet there without knowing it the re-
membranes might cause them to make
up again.
IL just believe it would, Mary, if we
could only do it, but your pas so set in
his ways that he wouldn't go at any
time he thought Uncle Josh would be
there, and Uncle Josh wouldn't go if
he thought he'd meet your pa I don't
see how we could work it, Mary, they're
both that contrary" and Ma Walker
shook her head over the problem.
'But, ma, couldn't we make Uncle
Josh believe pa was going in the morn
ing, or make pa believe Uncle Josh was
going in the afternoon" put IN Jane.
'Now I never thought of that" and
"Ma'' Walker beamed on her two daugh-
ters. "It takes young heads for new
ideas, don't it. I'll just leave it for you
two girls to fix up. You've got way
OF gettin' round them two men never
could get.''

Month after month wore away. The
mother watched anxiously for each
mail, and was occasionally rewarded
with letter, always from cher 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 cher baby's" health, and
how she longed for him.
And then one day letter came from
Hiram. His brother, the mothers
'baby," was i'll, 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
all the many little things that only. a
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.

| Josiah Walker was kneeling beside
the little marble monument clipping
! the dead branches out of rose bush
| over his brothers grave, when he be-
came aware that some one was ap-
| preaching the grave from the other side
Of the bush. : Glancing around he saw
| it was his brother. AS he rose from
his position beside the bush Hiram
paused at the side Of the grave opposite

why do you come here at this time %
demanded Josiah, thoroughly incensed
at what he considered an imposition.
"And why did you tell my girls that
you was comm in the afternoon" an
swered Hiram. Il came this morning
because you told them that"
II never told the girls nothing of the
kind, and you know it. You come here
at this time to spite me-"
The whole scheme that the girls and
their mother had worked came to Hi
ram in a minute, and stepping little
nearer he said:
! "Josiah, the girls told me that, and
now [ know why. They can't see any
sense in this quarrel of ours, and want
us to forget it. They thought here at
Charley's grave would be good place
for us to meet. Don't you think it is 2"
Without a word of reply Josiah ex-
tended his hand across the grave, where
| it met that Of his brother.
''Hiram,'' he said, "we have quarreled
for many years. I thought I would
never again speak kind word to you,
but beside the grave where our brother
and comrade sleeps our quarrel should
be forgotten for the time at least. Shall
it be?''
''Why not let it be forgotten for all
time, Josiah? Is a spotted pig worth
the amount of happiness it has cost
us?"
"It was my pig, Hiram
"No, it was mine, Josiah" &C.
'Let's call it our pig, Hiram, as 1t
really vase.
''That's best, Josiah. Now let's fix
up Charley's and mothers graves, and
then you must go home to dinner with
me, for I suspect ma and the girls will
be expecting you"
