Josiah, that ye calkilate to begin fattenin'

But Lawyer Foote saluted them as old
friends in his usual cordial manner, and
carefully parting his coattails, settled him
self on a log before he made his errand
known. Then he said:
"Mr. Parkman, you remember the pen
sion business you put in my hands last
fall?"
Before Josiah could spit on the toadstool
at his feet and pull himself together for
the reply, his wife answered for him: "T
don't want to hear another word about
the old fraud" she said, "an' we haven't
another cent to waste on il, anyway"
Lawyer Foote clapped his hands on his
knees and laughed heartily. THAT is right,

OF ANCIENT ORIGIN.
Decorating the Graves of Soldiers Was
Pracficed Ages Ago.

q n HE custom of placing flowers on the
~ N graves of soldiers is of very great an
LIN tiquity. One ancient writer men.
tions the fact that on the birthday of Alex.
ander the Great certain Greeks in Alexan-
dria were accustomed to visit his mauso-
leum and place flowers on the threshold
The custom of planting flowers on graves
is of an antiquity almost as great and has
been practiced in all parts of Europe for
many centuries The practice being once
established, local application of it in par.
ticular cases was easy and natural. During
the civil war in this country the women
of both north and south instituted a Gus
tom of going regularly on a certain day,
generally about the LIST of May, to the Gem
eteries with bouquets for the graves of the
soldiers who had been killed in battle. The
intense devotion of the southern women
to the lost cause led them to continue this
practice after the war had been ended,
and little by little it became universal in
this country. In 1859 Gen. John A. Logan,
then commander in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, announced May 80 as the
day on which the graves of soldiers should
be decorated. There is, however, a con
.roversy about the fact of the custom orgi-
mating ina particular locality, some claiming
that it sprang up spontaneously in almost
every section Of the country at once, and,
considering the universality of the prac.
lice of planting flowers on graves, there
is no reason to believe that the custom,
as claimed by some, originated in or was
peculiar to the south, even during the early
days Of the war.

abide as long as the republic endures, be-
cause it is one which gorfies deeds and not
the individuals who performed those deeds.
A man dies and his memory oftentimes IL
forgotten. 1t is permitted to few only
in each generation that their names shall
be handed down to subsequent generations
for praise and honor.
Decoration day glorifes the deeds of the
unknown dead who sleep their long sleep
in the nations cemeteries equally with the
skill and strategic force of Grant and Sher-
man and Sheridan.
The war was a battle royal between men
of the same race and country who differed
as to questions of right and polity. Each
battle added a new witness to the glory
of courage and patriotism and served to
make prouder and nobler the citizenship
of the republic,
The passing years have effaced bitter
memories and wiped away tears Of
regret and the former things of discomfort
and rebellion. The first Decoration day of
the new century shows people united
in love for the unon-a union the mightier
and greater and nobler because it was tried
as by fire and proved itself equal to the
severest test of human strength. And the
coming years of the century will bring with
them more sacred memories and higher
appreciation for the union preserved by
the trials and heroism of the soldiers of the
civil war. With the steadily expanding
majesty of the republic will come quickening
and broadening appreciation of the tri-
umphs of the incompatible victory of union
over disunion.

His sharp chin quivered visibly through

DAY
: II Will Abide as Long as the !
: Nation Endures. !
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

mi OUR decades have passed since the
M cry of war was raised, and men hur-
ENM red forward to prove the issues to
which their faith was joined. Greater zeal
no man can show than that he offer him
self as sacrifice for truth and country.
In more than a thousand battles proof
was made of heroism, and in all of these
life was counted as but little in COMPARE
son with the blessing OF a union pledged to
liberty of all. Blood flowed freely as water
after great rains. Lives ebbed out slowly or
went out quickly after each volley of shot.
Legions were wounded sorely, only to die
later Of the shock, or to lnger on to this
day afflicted by the burden of the leaden
missiles.
So dear and so priceless the blessing of
country, one and ndivisible. More than
two millions of soldiers were enlisted during
the civil war on the side of the union, and
hundreds of thousands of those died in
the land of the cypress and the pine. Their
blood has been balm to the healing of re-
volt and dissension.
In this, the fortieth year since the first
guns were fired on Sumter, and in the first
year of new century, more than one mill
lion survivors remain of the great hosts
whose hearts beat to patriotic harmony
while their feet moved to beat of drum.
They live bearing in their persons the wit
ness of perls undergone, heroic acts per-
formed and faithful service rendered for
the republic they love.
These, the living as well MS the dead, are
brought before a new generation, one born
and brought to mans estate since the day
of Appomattox, to speak to them of a ma
tons glory and of mems daring for the
increase of that glory They speak in their
deeds and in the results of those deeds.
All that the dead could give they handed
in for the union cause. Yet the living offered
Just as much-life itself, which, in their
cases, was not accepted. None the less was
theirs the honor and the glory, although
theirs is the reward of witnessing the
preciousness of the heritage they secured
to the generations to follow after them.
Individual men live and act their little
parts. But the greatest of these pass away,
one by one, and their places are filed by
others. Their deeds only survive, and it
is deeds only in this world which receive
the baptism of immortality. Decoration
day comes and goes, each emphasizing the
greatness and glory of the battles that were
fought, and in each recurring anniversary
the number of brave survivors grow less
and less. Only too soon their number
will fall to tens of thousands and then to
hundreds. The day is not distant in the
years when bare halfscore will remain,
and, finally, the name of the last survivor
will be given.
And then the Decoration days shall come
and go and be commemorated with equal
zeal as when the survivors were upon earth
and lent their part to the display and pomp
of the ceremonies. The day will be and

"But Josiah said you would come" was
the startling rejoinder, "and that nothing

under the fragrant offerings.
