of other articles for the occasion. Spe-
cial issues are got out in the case of our
largest weeklies, filed with appropriate
matter. Those who are not school chill
dren, parents or teachers, and do not
take an active part in the celebration
even such commemorate the day in their
hearts when, in seclusion, their eyes fill
with tears on reading reminders of the
terrible war time, and their hearts with
reverence for the men ION whichever
side) who gave or risked life to defend
the principles they represented. These
men and women, youths and maids, may
not go to the church or walk in the pro-
cession they may even go to a circus or
picnic, but-they celebrate the day. The
little band of old soldiers, leading the
procession to the distant graveyard, eyes
swimming with memories of dead COM
rades and cruel battles, look askance at
the merrymakers on ball field and picnic
ground, and perhaps bitterly think:
They don't understand, they cannot ap-
preciate our services for themn' There's
not a young man or woman on the
Northern or Southern play or picnic
ground but thinks his or her country the
greatest the sun shines on proud of the
result of the great struggle and would
do the utmost to preserve the Union of
which they are the heirs. Those who
enter actively into part at least of the
exercises of this day may we'll feel that
on them depends the perpetuation of the
solemn and inspiring purpose for which
it was set apart. But let us be just and
considerate in our judgments towards
those who don't show their patriotism ex-
actly as we do, on this day. when not
only the North and South, but the diff
ferent sections of ones own village as
well, should land do at .hearO feel a
united brotherhood in the cause we hold
so dear-a free and united country

Dropped His Burden.

He was a very small black boy, and
the basket he carried was very large,
indeed; so large that he staggered I'M
der it when he got on the car. 1t was
a nice looking basket, neatly covered
with a clean, white cloth, so that the
young woman on whose frOck he placed
it decided it contained freshly laun-
dered garments, and entered a protest
at such Dissertation.
Directly the small boy reached his
destination and, picking up his burden,
started for the door. Before he reached
it, however, the vehicle gave a great
lurch, and over went the urchin with
a thud, splitting the contents Of the
basket from one end of the floor to the
other.
The contents were pigs feet-nice
rosy newly cleaned pigs feet-and
every one of the passengers, even to
the stylishly gowned young woman,
helped to collect them for the miser-
able and frightened yOungster to whose
care they had been entrusted.
1t was indeed a pleasing sight to see
a dozen men and women, each with a
foot delicately poised in his gloved
hand; but finally all that had strayed
We're gathered together again, and the
small black boy with the big. big
basket left the ear.

THE MARCH OF PEACE

Fall in" and they form at beat Of drum;
'.MarcnY' ana auown the street they come,
Under the el.ns where the shadows play
And, dancing, dapple the dusty way,
Past the heug 5 whose bursting OIooD
Fills the air with sweet perfume,
Under the blue OF The Drigat say sky
Again the heroes are marching Dy.
Not as they marched in days Of old,
Young and gallant and strong ana bold,
To the stirring lit Of a martial air
Or the warlike note Of bug.e's blare,
But staid and slow, for the neads are white,
And the feet are heavy that once were light,
And the sturdy shoulders are bending now,
And old Times fingers have Flarked e-Gn
brow.
IT'S twoscore years since the war god flung
The challenge grim from his eyel tongue,
IT'S twoscOre years since the village street
First heard the tramp of these marching
feet,
And men left mother and child and wife
And sought the clash of the civil strife,
To throw their lives In the breach and hght
For flag and cause they deemed the right.
And now they're marching again to-day,
Old and feeble and bent and gray,
Not to the storm of shot and shell
Nor the raging rout of the battles he'll,
But to the churchyard, calm, to heap
Tributes falf where their comrades sleep,
Wreaths Of lily and rose to strew
Ger the mel in gray or the men in blue.
Softly mutters the muffled drum,
Down through the leafy lanes they come;
Lulled by the whispering birds and bees,
Famed by the scented summer breeze
That through the arching boughs above,
Sings the message Of brother love;
On through the fair lands blest increase
The heroes move on their march Of peace.

How wellington Was whipped,

Many military hero would dread to
have told the story of how he was
taught to win his battles, Especially
would he dislike the reminder if the les
son had come in the form of a sound
drubbing at the hands of girl A re-
cent English visitor to Wales picked
up the following story of Arthur Wei
lesley at the Trevor homestead, upon
the Welsh frontier.
Memories of the great Duke of Well
ington hang about the place, for his
grandmother was Trevor, Lady Dun
cannon, and here the future conqueror
of Napoleon was wont to spend his hol-
idayS when a boy at Elton.
Here, too, he experienced the most
serious defeat of his memorable career;
for, falling into a quarrel with farm
er's son over a game of marbles, he
became engaged in hand-to-hand
fight. The future duke was doing well,
and was about to hoist the flag of vic
tory, when the farmer boys big sister
came running out with wet towel
The advent of the Prussians at Wa
terloo was scarcely more fortunate for
the Duke and his friends than the ar
rival of this stalwart girl was for his
6oyish enemy Nor, according TO all
accounts, was the defeat of the French
more crushing than the utter discom-
future of young Wellesley upon this
occasion.

STRIKE COSTS TWO LIVES.
Troops Fire on Mob at Albany, N. ",
and Kill Innocent Bystauders


Two dead, one dying and sixteen suf-
fering from injuries more or less severe,
was the record at noon Friday of casual
ties resulting from the strike of United
Traction Company employees in Albany,
n. Y. OF three men who were wounded
by the fire of the National Guardsmen
William Walsh and E. lie Roy Smith are
dead. The fatalities were caused by
squad of Company E, Twenty-third in
fantry, which fired from an open trolley
car on which il was riding at APO o'clock
Thursday afternoon. The car had been
attacked by the mob with shower of
bricks and missiles.
At Albany, y. Y, Thursday morning
the Union Traction Company began pre-
parations to move its cars. At o'clock
Gen. Barnes, in command of the Twenty
third regiment, brought out before the
Quail street barn his entire regiment. AT
the same time the Tenth battalion start
ed down town, dropping out details on
the way at street corners along the trac-
ton line running to Broadway. One COM
pany of the Twenty third-Company A
started to clear out the mob massed at
the curve on Central avenue. Persuasion
shouted Lieut.. Col. Brady, who was near
by. Down went the cleaning points.
and on a rush the men started for the
crowd. just as they reached them the
order to reverse guns was given, and the
butts smashed against human flesh.
With howl the crowd started back,
some with bloody faces and some with
broken bones. The moving mass was
not allowed to stop until it had been
driven three blocks away. Then every
side street for blocks around was cleared
and army details began the work of clos
ing the saloons and houses. The sol
diers had to club the men with their
rifles. Finally the streets about the car
barns were cleared.
As the motors kept coming down the
hill, a dispatch says, the crowd near the
postof1ce grew and became excited. The
military charged upon the crowd and
drove it two blocks away from the june
ton of State and Broadway. The cars
ran up the roadway as far as the COM
painy's barn and although there were
several thousand people the hostile dem
onstration was limited to jeering those
on the cars. Next the repair wagons
guarded by seventy mounted signal corps
men came down the street and turned up
Broadway, where there was some repair
ing to be done.
The strike has been a costly expert
ence for the United Traction Company.
In addition to the deaths and severe in
juries which have resulted, there has
been at the least $1,000 worth of prop
erty destroyed and loss of $125,000 to
the company otherwise. There is con-
siderable Indignation expressed over the
shooting of Walsh and Smith, both of
whom were business men and reputable
citizens, who were not interested in the
strike save from an onlooker's viewpoint.
They were seated in the doorway of
Smiths store when the troops fred at
the mob.

Miners in Burning Shaft.

The legislative session just closed has
been one of the most remarkable in the
history of Wisconsin, being the longest
ever held, as well as the most fruitless
and being marked by animosities and
chickering's among the members of the
dominant party such as has not been
known when opposing parties were more
evenly matched. No other executive has
vetoed measures so fearlessly and often
as has Gov. La Toilette. Many impor-
tant bills were killed during the session,
the chief ones being the various taxation
measures. A large number met death by
executive veto, such as the Hagemeister
primary bill, the dog tax bill, the bill ex-
empting the Milwaukee exposition from
taxation, the measure to increase the
salaries of the police and fire chiefs OF
Milwaukee and the bill giving police pow
ers to street railway employees. Among
the important measures to die in one
house or another were: The Overlook
anti-cigarette bill. the adoption of Tor
rens land title system, making the State
board of immigration one with the board
of agriculture, to prevent the running Of
double-header trains and to increase the
pay of members of the Legislature from
$500 to $1,000.
