which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommended

WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.
Marching Orders for Memorial Day
Are Issued.

Memorial day with it's sacred duties
is close at hand. Thirty-five years of
national peace have passed since the
civil war and in that time, a genera
ton has been born. reared and sent
u with the flag of a united coun-
try to battle with a foreign foe, for a
down-trodden people.
Once more victory followed the stars
and stripes.
At the last national encampment of
the G. A. r., at Philadelphia, the old
soldiers were addressed by cOmradG
VIM. Mckinley, of Canton Post No. 60,
Ohio. President Mckinley said: II
could not but inquire today as | wit.
messed the vast procession of old vet
Grams and heard the plaudits of the
people, could not but ask the ques-
ton, what has endeared this vast ar.
my to the American people? What
has enshrined you in their hearts?
What has given you a permanent and
imperishable place in their history?
And the answer comes: That you saw
ed the nation 1t was because you did
something. Aye, you sacrificed
thing. You were willing to give up
your lives for civilization and llber-
.ty.'"
ZACH year the nations roll of honor
grows longer and from henceforth
there will be lot only the graves of the
old soldiers to be remembered but
those who so proudly took up the flag
which these veterans saved, and car
ried it to the isles of the sea where.
please God, it may wave over a free
loyal people.
Each year the work of decorating
the graves of the nations dead becomef
more arduous.
The national president OF the Wo-
mans Relief Corps, realizing this, sem
out the following in general orders:
Give to this day all its legitimate
work, do not let it be recorded that "a
beautiful wreath, a choice cross o
deceased sister and the only record
that a soldiers grave was decorated,
the bare numerical fact. Three hun.
dred and sixty-four other days of the
year can be given to the decoration
Of graves, other than those for whom
this day was created.
Let the only exception be she grave
of our loved army nurses, for by theis
unselfish, brave deeds on bat
tlefields and in hospitals, they have
earned the right to this honored dis
tinction."
There are between sixty and seven
ty soldiers graves in our city m
tey. If each patriotic citizen would
contribute one flower in of
the Departed Grand Army what an
elegant tribute it would be to patriot
ism.
They say the old boys marches thro'
the streets in columns grand,
a follerin' the old war tunes they're
playin' on the band,
And citizens all jinin' in, and
little children too,
All marchin' under shelter of
the old red. white and blue.
And with the stars and stripes
above, a flutterin' in the air,
On every soldiers grave, I'd love
to lay a lily there.
James Whitcomb Riley.
All organizations that intend taking
Fart in the parade next Wednesday
will please report to ]. A. Cokefair.
