MISS CYNTHY'S
LILAC BLOSSOMS.

Memorial day at that important part
of the universe known familiarly as
the Corners was always gala day.
Every one in the little village planned
on its coming from one year to another.
1t was the hope of every one that lilacs
and all spring blossoms might be in full
bloom at the important day and so be
carried to the tiny cemetery on the hill
10 deck the soldiers graves.
After viewing the decorations Deacon
Hiram Pepper always remarked, "They
couldn't git a better trimmin up if
they was a-lyin in Mount Auburn std
of the buryin yard'a the Corners.

with the younger men as Sons of Vet
erans. marched and drilled for weeks
beforehand that they might make an
imposing appearance, while the maids
and matrons, bound not TO be outdone
by the masculine portion, either had
new gowns or pressed and retrimmed
old ones, that they might make a show
ing equal to the rest.
One evening about a week before the
eventful day Miss Cynthia White stood

Does Lognn Knowf

Is the founder of Memorial day cere-
monies permitted to review the patriotic
exercises that are the outgrowth of his
efforts when commander in chief of the
Grand Army?
Did he see from the beautiful heights
cover the river" the millions of his
countrymen last Memorial day as they
bowed their heads in memory of the
partiot dead who died that the best Of
nations might live on as long as nations
are permitted to exist2
Did he see his comrades of thousands
Of Grand Army posts assemble in their
halls and march in bodies to churches,
there to hear patriotic sermons, see pull
pits adorned with the American flag
and hear vast audiences join in singing
national airs?
That, too. would gladden. his patriot
heart.

at the door of her trim cottage, looking
out over her thrifty, well kept garden,
her keen eye noting the fact that the
marrowfats were up over by the fence /;
that the tomatoes were doing well, and
that the pansy bed needed wedding.
But her sharp gray eyes rested longest
on the clump of lilacs down by the gate
as she said aloud, having in the long,
lonely years acquired the habit of talk
ing to herself:
II do hope them lilacs will be out for
Memorial day, but it has been such a
backward spring that it ain't likely.
But always just count on them lilacs
to take to the cemetery for Brother
Sans grave. There S Sans wife, shift
less critter as she was she never think
of doin such thing. But, then, lilacs
nor nothin else would grow in that lit
tie by o patch of ground of her'n.
declare, if there amt Susy's little boy
down at the gate lookin at them lilacs
as if he'd eat 'em. He'd better not
touch 'em, though. Here, you boy"
she loudly called. "don't you touch
them flowers, but you just run home to
your ma, and be lively.
And Miss Cynthy's thin lips COM
pressed themselves as she watched the
forlorn little figure running swiftly
down the road. She watched him until
a softer expression appeared on her
hard face, as she murmured "Well,
but he does look as Sam used to when
he was a little fellow about his age.
I've a good mind to call him back for
Sans sake. But, there, l won { do it.
Lizy'd think | wanted to make up,
and she d make a sight of talk over it.
But they do say as how she's been hav-
in pretty hard time of it this year,
since Susy came home and brought
them two children along. But, then,
Susy married a worthless chap, and
Lily encouraged the match, and SO
'tain't nobody's fault but her own that
she's in such straits. | wonder if she IL
visit Sans grave Memorial dayf /
don't want to meet her there. g"
Poor Miss Cynthyl She had not al
ways been hard featured and sharp
tongued, as she was now. Deacon Pep
per, Lucindy Green and many of the
town. folks could remember when she
had been called the prettiest girl at the
Corners; when her black, swapping
eyes, dark curls and red cheeks caused
her to be called the belle at many
rustic husking or apple bee.
Cynthia Whites father and mother
had died in middle life, leaving, besides
this daughter, a son of "1S years. who
all his life had been at once a source Of
the greatest JOY and greatest anxiety
to his parents. Nothing bad about the
boy, only so full of mischief and fun
that his mother never knew from what
dire dilemma she might be called TO ex-
tricate him. And as he grew older, al
though he became more manly and less
given to frolic and fun, yet his mother
still looked upon him as little boy,
who must be watched and cared for.
To Cynthy, though but two years his
senior, his mother when dying had

Let no leaf of glooming cypress
On these hallowed mounds today
Cast shadow Ger the blossoms
Mingled with the heroes bay.
Let no tear nor sigh OF sadness
Wrong the memory OF the brave
While our songs of hope and gladness
Float around the flag marked grave.
Well we know their names are craven
On the borntless heart of love.
All who In ri-ht's fierce, mad conflict
Nameless fell are known above.
For their sakes the white bellfiowers,
Velvet pansies many hued,
Breathe ia all their grace and beauty
Thoughts of love and gratitude.
For a day the rose and laurel
Proudly deck each sacred spot.
Ever on the nations bosom
Rests the pure forgetmenot.

Call our brothers, brave and true,

That We fought to save for You.

copper market continues quiet. On the
one hand buyers are covered and not in
clined to purchase ahead at the prices
now ruling. On the other, no pressure to
Sell is observable and few transactions
are reported. From Europe we learn
that sun continue their hand-to to-
mouth policy and that supplies are very
light. Lake copper is freely offered,
practically by all producers at 1Sc, but
at that price no business was possible
and a few transactions are eported at

lytic copper, for which the quotation still
stands at 1870 for cakes, wirebars or

CUT HIS THROAT.
"MORG" THOMAS, FORMERLY OF
BUTTE, TIRED OF LIFE.

The last issue of the Salt Lake Tribune
contains an account of an attempt made
by Morgan Thomas to kill himself in Salt
Lake Monday night. Thomas lived in
Butte several years and while here fol-
lowed the occupation Of gambling on a
small scale. He is we'll known to many
of the fraternity in this city. After leav-
ing Butte, which was two or three years
ago. he went to Anaconda and became in
sane from the effects of morphine, to the
excessive use Of which he was addicted.
He recovered, however, and went to Utah.
Following is the Tribune's account:
Morgan Thomas, a morphine fiend of
Logan, who lately came to the city and
gave himself up to Jailer kimball, at
tempted suicide at GAS O'Clock in the city
jail, by cutting his throat with a knife
belonging to- Eph Kelly. The prisoners
say Thomas has been very respondent for
several days past, and . had frequently
been heard to say that death would he a
welcome release, but when he talked Of
suicide they ridiculed and laughed at him.
Yesterday he dictated a letter to one
of the prisoners, as he was too shaky him
self to hold the pencil. The letter was ad-
dressed to his father, John Thomas. mer-
chant tailor Of Logan, and was as follows:
NJ Dear Father, Brothers and Sisters:
Il nave been here now sixteen days and
have never heard a word from any of you
at home, and l feel very much hurt as
a result. l have never Wronged you or
any one in my life-only myself. I am
not finding fault with you, father, and 1
hold no animosity against my brothers
for not sending me the money promised,
although l feel very much hurt, as is
natural for a man in my feeble condition,
as l need a few things, such as butter,
SUGAR and ~eggs-things that they do not
furnish me here in jail. Write to my sis
ter Mary and tell her l am here. SEN
fenced to forty lays. Tell her to write
to me. With love to all, l remain loving.
ly your son and brother, MORGAN.

where bis wounds We're dressed and it was
