was full of the faint band music and
the perfume of lilacs. She wished
in her heart that she could put on

MEDICINE LODGE KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, NAY 2s 1901.
"How is-Phebe-Ann?" she clam

"How is-Phebe-Ann?" she clam
ored.
The horse was pulled up, and an
old mans face peered around the
buggy wing. "How is Phebe Ann this
afternoon" the woman said again.
Mrs. Kemp, Sarah Cook and Lucy
were listening at her back.
Sinking" replied the old man, in
hoarse voice. Then he drove on.
The woman called something else
after him, but he paid no attention.
He had to pass the cemetery, which
was now thronged with the living,
in bright groups, standing among the
fiower-strewn graves of the dead.
The music had ceased. A mans voice
sounded out loudly in the hush.
Phebe AIMS husband, John Kemp,
leaned forward and shook the reins
over his horse, then drove past rapid
ly. He kept his face turned away
from the cemetery, and his forehead
was scowling distressfully.
He had a half-mile to go before he
reached home. He left the horse in
the yard and went into the house on
tiptoe, through the house to Phebe
AIMS bedroom. AS he peered in
stealthily, the nurse, who was sitting
beside the bed, looked up and put
her finger to her lip. There was just
glimpse of a pale, sharp profile
among the pillows. Phebe Ann was
asleep on her journey to the grave.
Her husband went out, put up his
horse, and sat down on the door
step. He looked idly out over the
fields. After awhile he heard the
village band again. 1t sounded quite
near. They were marching back
from the cemetery. Suddenly the old
man felt a hand on his shoulder.
''She's walked up," the nurse whis-
pered, sand she's terrible worked up
about it's being Decoration day. You'd
better come in"
Phebe AIMS husband went softly
behind the nurse to the bedroom.
Phebe Ann looked up at him and beck
oned imperatively. He went close
and bent over her. "What is it,
Phebe Ann?" said he.
"Is it-Decoration day." she whis-
pered, with difficulty, for she was
growing very weak.
Eyes, it's, Phebe Ann" said her
husband.
"Have you got-any flowers for
Sylvester's grave?"
mo, I amt. I amt thought of it,
Phebe Ann, with your being so sick,
and ALL"
'Go-get some!" she painted. Her
motioning hand and her eager eyes
spoke louder than her tongue.
eyes, I will, l will, Phebe Ann!
Don't you fret another mite about
it,"
The nurse followed him out of the
room.

Il amt going to bring them into
the house." said Lucy. She let a
branch fly back. and went across the
yard with a great bunch of lilacs in
her hands.
81 wonder what she's up to?" said
her mother.
Lucy returned just before the pro-
cession passed. The cemetery was
n little way beyond the house. Her
mott r. and aunt, and neighbor who
had come in, stood at the windows
listening eagerly to the approaching
music. Lucy joined them. The pro-
cession fled slowly past, the Grand
Army men, the village band, the min
listers and local dignitaries, and the
rear guard of children with flowers.
An accompanying crowd thronged
the sidewalks.
''I've just been saying to Sarah
that Phebe Ann won't have Sylves-
ter's grave decked out much this
year." said Mrs. Kemp. Her voice
was pleasanter and more guarded
than before.
Il heard Phebe Ann was pretty
low," said the neighbor.
"Yes, s'pose she is. should have
gone up there, but she amt been in
side this house for ten years, and I
amt going to push in where amt
wanted. I hear she's got Mis- Baker
with her, so she's taken care of. /
couldn't help thinking this morning
how much she'd always laid out on
Sylvester's grave. Well, mebbe twas
n comfort to her. amt never
thought so much of anything of that
kind, because my husband and all my
folks are buried away from here, and
1 amt had any chance to do anything
about their graves. Amt that Phebe
AIMS husband now? That looks like
his horse"
"Yes, 'tis," said Sarah Cook.
'I've great mind to run to the
door and inquire how she isl" cried
the neighbor, excitedly.
why don't you?" said Mrs. Kemp.
The neighbor ran to the door and
called out. She was o stout woman
with q shrill voice.

whispered, agitatedly. Its five miles
away"
Land, get any kind of fowers!"
said the nurse. "Get dandelions, and
buttercups. if you can't find anything
else"
The old man took his hat down
with a bewildered air, and went
slowly out of the yard. At the gate
he paused and looked around. There
were no flowers in the yard; there
were several bushes, rose and phlox.
but it was too early for them to
blossom. Over al the left stretched a
field, and that was waving with green
and gold. Phebe AIMS husband went
over into the field and began pulling
the buttercups in great handf,fls,
and the grasses with them. He had
all he could carry when he left the
field, and went solemnly down the
road.
Sylvester's grave was at the far
ther side of the cemetery. The old
man, with his load of buttercups and
grass, made his way to it. The sol
diers' graves were decorated with
flags and flowers, but the people had
gone. The cemetery was very still.
When John Kemp reached Sylvester's
grave he started and stared. There
was a great bunch Of lilacs on the
grave, and three charming, delicate
pink roses in a vase.
81 wonder who put those flowers
there!" he muttered. He laid the
buttercups and grass down on the
grave; then he stood still. 1t was
over 20 years since the boy Sylvester
had been laid there-a little soldier
who had fought only his own pain.
ST wonder who put those flowers
there!" John Kemp muttered again.
He went out of the cemetery, but
instead of turning down the road
toward his own home, walked hcsi-
tatingly the other way toward the
house of his sister-in-law-Thom
wife, as he always spoke of her.
Lucyss face was at one open vim
dow, her Aunt Sarah Cooks at the
other.

DEBATING CREED REVISION
Ablest Men Of the Presbyterian
Faith Badly Divided Upon the
i.,,y. Confession of Faith.
TWO GREAT QUESTIONS PRESENTED.
"God's Election of Men, and the 'sSalsatiun
of Infants" Are Causing the Deepest
Discussion -Dr. Mo6att Says the Con-
tession Is a Nam Made C0nst,tation,

Philadelphia, May e5.LThe debate
on creed revision was continued by the
Presbyterian general assembly Fri
day, and as was the case Thursday,
Calvary church was unable to cont,lin
the throngs who came to hear the dis
cussion. The moderator said he had
found the sentiment of the assembly
in favor of a free and fair presenta-
ton of the question, but suggested
that the commissioners endeavor as
far as possible to adhere to the rule
of brevity, especially as the great
ground had been staked out by the
able speakers. - ii.s -
DR.. Kennedy followed with a force
full arguments against revision. The
way to. break down the confessional
finally, he said, is to go ON making holes
in it. Eve stand united on the con-
fession," continued DIR. Kennedy. 1T
is constructed from beginning to end

is the constitution of our church or
ganfzation. We are not considering a
popular creed, but the fundamental
principle of our organization. The
confession has been charged with fail
ing to truthfully present the belief
of the church. No one forces MS TO
sign that confession. We did not sign
it in ignorance and / am sure not one
of US signed it dishonesty. j repu
diate the statement that the confess
sion does not set forth the man side
and personality of the Holy Spirit.
Our plea is that now is not the time
for changes while the church is under
fire. We are not living in a constitu-
tion-rnaking age. After a fair. delib-
crate and free discussion we find
ourselves all divided up, Let us wait
until God lin His providence brings us
to the time when we can agree, on the

like Sarah's.
Lucy Kemp dropped her sewing for
q minute, and turned her face toward
the window. 'It seems most too
bad, don't it?" she said, meditative-
ly. when she's done so much every
year, and thought so much about it,"

years since Sylvester Kemp died, and
there amt been a year that Phebe
