Veterans Old and New.

Memorial day Of 1900 had a new
sigu' iicance. The veterans OF another
war took their place in the
marching columns and head; Of
brown hair were mingled with those
of gray as the groups surround the
graves Of fallen comrades.
The veterans old clasped hands
fraternaly with the veterans new
Those who fought to keep the coun'
try one did honor to those who
fought in later years to keep the
united nations honor bright and to
aid the cause OF civilization in foreign
lands.
Those who sleep meath southern
suns in our own land, those who rest
in the isles Of the sea are all heroes
in the eyes Of the American people
aud to them all will be given praise
and glory on this day Of memory.
Memorial day becomes a more hal
lowed time with each passing year
and never in the history OF this ma
lion has it been fraught with tender
er memories than in this year Of
grace, the closing time Of the 10Th
century.
