crippled and unable to go forth anC
 lead n the great movements and '
 the high places of earth, does his duty
 just where he is. Garrison duty is
 just as important and just as re-
 munerative as service a. the front. As
 Eis part is that gOeth down to battle
 so shall his part be that tarrieth by
 the stuff. A great many people are discouraged when they hear the story
 of Moses, and Of Joshua, and of Dan
 iel and of Luther. and of John Knox
 and of Deborah, and of Florence
 Nightingale, and of Dewey. Oh, that
 was all right for them, but I shall never be called upon to receive the
 law upon Mount Sinai or lead a great
 people out of bondage; 1 shall never
 be called to make a queen tremb!e for her crimes, or to defy a Giet of
 worms. 1 shall never preside over a hospital. or command a fleet or lead
 a charge There are women today who say: If had as brilliant a
 sphere as those people had I should be
 as brave and as grand. But my busi-
 ness is to get the children off to
 school or to hunt up things when
 they are lost or to see that dinner is
 ready on time and to keep account Of
 the household expenses. Oh. my 1 sphere is so small, and I am clean dis couraged.' Rewards are not to be given according to the noise we make | in the world, nor even according 10
 the amount of good we may do, but according to whether or not you work i up to your full capacity, or according
 as to whether or n"t you do your full l duty in the sphere where God has 1 placed you. I am not attempting O detract from these heroes God for bid, but rather let my tongue cleave i to the roof of my mouth and my right hand forget her cunning than that I should pluck one single laurel, so justly and courageously earned, in the eyes of an appreciative country I am attempting to help and encourage those who would have been at san
 tiago if they had had opportunity;
 who would have been on the firing line if they had had opportunity, and
 those who are serving their God and their country in humber spheres. "Oh, what i great day that will be for many who rocked Christian cradles with weary foot and heavy heart. who patched worn-Out garments and darned socks. and out of a small in come made the children comfortable for the winter.
 What 2 day that will be for those to whom the world gave the cold shoulder and called them melodies. and begrudged them the least recog- hilton, and who weary and faint and sick fa.nted at the brook Besor. Oh. that will be a great day when the son of David will distribute among them the garlands, the crowns. the scepters. the char.Ots and the thrones.
 And that it will be found out that all on earth who served God and coun- try in incOnsEicuous spheres receive just as much reward as those who filled the earth with the uproar Of their achievements
 The parsOn closed by reciting Kip Eng's Recessional.

 After the review Hon. Frank Spring CT of Las Vegas rose and in a very | nice speech presented Col. Roosevelt | with a beautiful medal on behalf cf the people of New Mexico.
 Col. Roosevelts speech was cus short by a rain which amounted al most to a cloudburst, and which blew over one section of the grand stand, not injuring any one, however.
 Afterward at the Castaneda hotel, Alexander o. Brodie of Prescott was presented by Associate Justice John F. McFie of the supreme court of New Mexico with a magnif- cent sword on behalf of the citizens of Las Vegas and the Rough Riders of New Mexico. Judge McFie made stirring speech, declaring that three r men have been popularly chosen out Of the many whose greatness was proved by the Spanish-American war as those whose fame would never de. These three are Mckinley, Dewey and As Wellington had his as Washington had his Lafay- cite. so Roosevelt had his Brodie. Col. Brodie said in accepting the saber: 'I cannot find words to express to you my thanks and appreciation Of this gift The gift of a sabsr, to soldier, means everything, and if shall ever have occasion to draw it, it will be in an honorable cause"
 At the conclusion of Col. Brode's of gratitude, Col. Roose- welt spoke for few minutes and told of the sterling qualities of heart and mind of the famous Arizona soldier He reviewed his carear from San A2-
