ponel thanked the G. A. R. in behalf of
the regiment for the fraternal greetings
extended. He said: I'VE have the
greatest reverence, the greatest respect
for the generation of patriots of the
time of Abraham Lincoln. We are born
of another generation, but are imbued
with the same spirit; you were of the
time of Abraham Lincoln. we are of the
time of William Mckinley. Many peo-
pie were astonished at the readiness
with which the men answered when the
call came. 1t was the budding of the
Grand Army rosebud of patriotism in
all its beauty and glory" ~(Applause.)
Colonel Torrey spoke of a number of
interesting incidents. and concluded
with the following appeal to the G.. A.
R.: THE thought comes to me, Are
you going to open the doors of the fra
ternity to us and take us in as brothers,
or only as visitors?' Whether or not
you admit us to this splendid order,
and let us take up the work where you
must some day lay it down, we will
form an order of which you will be
proud. Please see if you cannot unlock
chat door and let us come. We would
be glad to come if we are worthy, and l
feel that the rough riders are as worthy
a regiment as ever faced a foe. = = =

Department Commander General w.
T. S. May was introduced and although
he spoke very briefly, his remarks were
eloquent. He said in part: 81 wish
that time would permit me to talk to
you as | should like, for as | look at the
faces of the old soldiers around me, my
thoughts go back and | hear the rattle
of the old %canteens, can see the flash
of the swords. We are a little older
than these soldiers just returned from
war, but there is n spark in the soul
of the American citizen that never
grows old: that spark is patriotism and
love Of the-old flag. (Applause.) More
than a third of a century has been gath
cred into the sheath of time since we
went forth under the call of the i'm.

are not old, and never will get old unit,

a high tribute to the Woman's Relief
Coraps, and in behalf of the G. A. r
extended heartfelt thanks to them fol
all they had done for the Old soldiers
and a soldier's thanks means thanks
because it comes from away down" Ir
closing, General May said: THE
