plea that she would prove more kind
than in the past.
AS she listened a delicate flush crept
into the lady's pale, sweet face. The
shadow that rested in the deep, blue eyes
lifted. She looked searchingly at the man
before her. Could this really be her
young lover, returned in the guise Of this
impetuous elderly man? She had never
thought of him save as the soldier boy
who had gone away at her bidding. At
last she seemed to understand. For a
moment the corners of the lovely mouth
forgot to droop.
By the light of memory the man and
woman grew young again.
When his torrent Of words ceased she
stood silent for some moments, and then
held out her hand as she softly said:

When we laurel the graves Of our dead "

A few are left. How short has grown the
We call it tenderly, with bated breath,
Lest from our ranks should fade the noble
band
To answer to ~ rol-call of the ruler,
Death.
Few, few are left. The ranks grow thin,
and wide
Apart as the dim armies Of the past.
Silent and slow they come, who once
Their conquering forces on the foeman
cast.
Only a few. with weak and faltering tread,
And for a little while. their march they
Der the rough way of poverty and age,
To bivouac-grounds Of rest, so green and

Thin grow the ranks. In silent camps they
wait.
Who shared those hours of victory or
defeat;
And marble war-worn heroes rest in sum-

Who led the conquering bands to victory,
Who out OF darkness brought the light Of

Find a Prehistoric Tusk.

A valuable find was made near the
home of Joseph Carbary at Spring Green,
recently. For several years the family
had seen what was supposed to be root
Of a tree sticking out of the mud III the
bottom of Bear creek. The other day
while the children were playing about
the creek they put rope around the sup
posed root and hauled it to shore. 1t
proved to be a large tusk, evidently OF
some animal that lived in those parts In
the prehistoric age. 1t was thirty-seven
inches long, twenty inches in diameter
and weighed forty pounds. Mr.. Carbary
also secured pieces of the other tusk and
is going to dig for the rest of the skele-

| "Yes, my name is Merrill Fremont and

a tall. slender figure clad in black entered,

under the weight of magnolia blossoms.

Merrill faced about and watched them.

her hand toward the flower hidden

love than, by staying, perhaps revive the
old bitterness which his return to her I'M
harmed while all her beloved family lay
dead, might recall?
He was about to retreat. 1t was too
late, the lady turned and saw him. He
stood awkwardly before her. She looked
at him in puzzled inquiry.
Suddenly he cried out, "Erma."
She moved back pace in surprise at
being so addressed by an apparent stran-
ger.
Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave
her no chance Of escape. In quick, inco-
herent words he poured forth the mistak-

row for her grief and at last an earnest

even now after all these years. Well, he
would go back north on the morrow, so
what matter?
He and the Ralston boys had been col
lege students together. He would pay a
visit to their last resting place. He open
ed the gate and slowly made his way
among the hower-covered mounds. When
he reached the Ralston lot, he looked
about him sorrowfully. He felt sadly
desolate. He alone was left Of all those
merry, laughing fellows.
Presently his eye wandered to grave
somewhat apart from the rest. The
scarcity Of it's flowers drew his attention
to it. He wandered idly toward it, think

She Killed Herself.

Sensational developments have come to
light in connection with the death of Mrs.
Hannah Robinson (nee Bush), former
La Crosse woman who died at Mankato,
MINI. The death certificate gives the
cause of death as heart failure. but it is
reported that the woman committed sui
eide in the woods near Mankato, Mimi,
taking large dose Of carbolic acid. Ev-
cry effort was made to keep the fact of
the suicide secret, but the facts came
out. Dependency is given as the cause.
She was married few years ago against
her mothers wishes. They never spoke
to each other after that. The deceased
was SO years old.

A MEMORIAL,
DAY UNION

SN USINESS had brought him to his
tx native town in the sunny South.
60 He was in haste that his mission
should he concluded so that he might get
away from the quiet village. The very
beauty Of its fragrant spring dress sad
dened him.
In timid. hesitating way he had made
a few inquiries for old friends, but the
answer was ever the same. War had
scattered most of the old families Those
alone remained who slept in the peaceful
cemetery in the dip which formed a vale
ut the bend in the river.
'And the Ralstons?"
All were gone. OF the impetuous, high
spirited family, only Miss Erma was still
alive. The Ralston boys-four of them
lay in soldiers graves beside their gal
liant father.
Mrs. Ralston had seen her brave boys
brought home dead one by one. But she
gave them for her country's sake, gladly,
but her heart was slowly breaking. She
did not long survive her husband.
did Miss Erma still live at Iron
wood2"
No. The old plantation was desolate
and Miss Ralston lived in a little white
cottage down the road, the one almost
smothered in jasmine and roses.
The gentleman took his cane and with a
brisk step which told of some young blood
still flowing in his veins, started down the
street in the warm spring sunshine. The
square shoulders, erect head and firm
tread all bespoke the soldier.
As he came in sight of Miss Erma's
house his steady walk became jerky and
finally settled into an uncertain amble.
For the fraction of second he paused
at her gate, then beat hasty and con-
fused retreat. Completely out of breath,
he drew up beside the high arched gate
which opened upon the soldiers last tent
ing ground.
''By Joye. It's no use. couldn't face
her" and the old man mopped his brow
s'Whew, how her eyes did blaze. Facing
a cannao is play to standing the fire of
ErIna's angry eyes"
He leSned against the post. The light
died out Of his face and he thought of
that long away time when he and Erma
had been lovers. And then came the war.
How quickly had followed that awful day
when he went to say farewell and she
would not look at him. because he wore
the hated blue. He tried to argue, tried
to persuade, but she would not listen
She was Southern girl-Col Raj
ston's daughter If he fought the South,
he fought her and was her deadly foe.
Was it not cruel enough that the dread
f1l war should deprive her of her lover,
without calling him to fight against in
stead OF for her?
How clearly he could see her as she
stood then on the low. wide steps. slim,
girlish figure clad in clinging white. Her
checks were flushed and her mouth trem-
uious, but the chin was firmly set. All
through the war he had carried in his
heart the memory of her as she stood in
the sunshine. framed by the stately pill
Jars OF the gallery; while he, with despair
In his heart, but logged determination
in his eyes, turned. when half way down
the broad avenue of live oaks, and lifting
his Union cap. murmured. God keep
my Southern sweetheart
How often he recalled her words. He
could almost hear them now .Go. You
are traitor. l never want to see your
face again"

The Island Saloons.

The worlds conference Of missions, at
the suggestion of the reform bureau, en-
ergetically seconded by the wcll-known
missionaries Misses Mary and Margaret
Leitch put into its program an address
on the liquor traffic as hindrance to
missions, and a supplemental mass meet
ing is to be held for the purpose of adopt
ing some petition to the President and
Congress with a view to SuppreSSing the
American saloon in our new islands in or
der to protect the native races of the
whole world from this destructive curse
The petition may he extended to the six
teen nations that in 1892 made treaty to
suppress the liquor traffic with the opium
trade and slavery in "A certain large sec
ton of Africa.
1t is hoped that this meeting will be the
beginning of a worlds crusade against
civilization. which. like the battle against
the extension of slavery to the terri
tories. may react upon the older strong
holds Of civilization and OF the liquor
traffic as well. This problem Of the island

ed action on the part of Christian people
the world over. 1t should be urged upon
our Congress at the same time as the
The following petition form Is suggested
for the use Of organizations and mass
meetings:
Whereas. sixteen nations in 1892 made Il
treaty to exclude slavery. opium and
spirituous liquors from large section Of

therefore,
Resolved, that we ask an extension Of
this mandate Of true civilization by the
exclusion of all intoNicants from all coun-
tries inha bited chiefly by native races at
least through separate action of each
Christian government in its own do
main supplemented by joint action 50 lar
as may be necessary to make the protec-
