Harrison w. II. c., is never in the rear

the old soldiers, but by the citizens gener-

day as all wished for in order that the pro-
gram might be carried out.
The G. A. r., w. Il. c., soldiers of the
SpaI lish war, school children and citizens,
headed by the Depere Veteran Drum Corps,
marched to the beautiful grove north of
the city, where the exercises were held.
After the exercises conducted by the Post
Miss Katie Maloney recited The Veterans
Vision," giving true picture of a soldiers
life in camp, on the field of battle, and his
return home. The orator of the day was
young lady of Depere, q daughter of
veteran, Miss Elizabeth Shepard. She
took as her subject, Grant" and paid
splendid tribute TO the great commander,
whose ability as General was never sur
passed. The Grafton was delivered with
an eloquence and earnestness that made a
deep impression. Despite the difficulties
of open air speaking, the wisdom of the
Post in selecting Miss Shepard to deliver
the Memorial address was fully demon

A Eilioiuo Charm,

While examining the body of dead
Filipino soldier the other day, Private Fair
child, of Co. of the police made curious
find. He noted that the front of the dead
soldiers, shirt was covered with. strange
engrayings. With his curiosity aroused.
Faitchild cut the front out and brought it to
headquarters. The engravings are Of the
fudeSt type and resemble the ancient Assy-
rian figures and letters. The moon in its
different quarters figures prominently.
Apparently the long word written at the
top is Latin; the rest of the lettering is
strange and no one can explain it. A
Filipino woman who saw it crossed herself
and then looked surprised when she saw
the bullet hole. and spots of the wearers
blood. When questioned by the interpreter
she was very reticent, but admitted that
such engravings constituted sacred
charm, not of Catholic origin, that the
Fiiipinos believed would protect them from
death in battle, as no bullet could pass
through it. A shaward, who was ques-
toned on this subject, answered that it was
the sacred coat of a Filipino secret society,
similar to the Masons, whose antiquity is
Very great.

destroying the microbe also cures the disease of
which it is the cause, and therefore gives perman-

prevents gray hair and badness even up to ex-
