Honor the Iivinn.

Persons of middle age who but dim
ly remember the closing days of the
awful struggle and the. scenes of joy
that followed the return of the sol
diers to their homes, participate in
the ceremonies of the day with feel
ings of reverence. and the children
with almost sense of awe. Rever-
emily and gratefully we remember the
services of those who fought and suf-
fered for the union. We can but
strew with fragrant flowers the graves
of the dead; we should with fragrant
deeds remember the living. Not long
are they to be with us. More graves
call for tribute each year. Let us do
the living honor while we may.

straight to the breeze as like clock
work that human phalanx moved to
obey.
Was that the foe there, entrenched
at the base of the hill, calmly waiting
with muskets primed and ready? But
never a man did he see falter. On
ward they pressed, with music soaring
and flags flying, into the fray and into
the face of death. Then, when the
first volley had been met and passed,
they were over the breastworks and
upon the foe. He felt an absence about
him then. He looked for Billy. Billy
was gonel A bullet had carried him
down at the first onslaught, he con-
cluded. Then he saw the men in the
trenches waver for a moment, club
their muskets for a last feeble stand.
That was all; then they fled The Fed
eral troops, forgetting their orders in
the enthusiasm of the moment, were
as quickly over the ramparts and
after them-through woods, over logs,
past gulches, and into the face of
murderous musketry from above!
Presently Weak-Eyed reeled and
fell from the marching column, strik-
ing his head as he fell. Grasping a
shade tree by the side of the thor
oughfare he slowly raised himself to
his knees. Had he, too, been struck
by flying bullet? He put his hand
to his head. Yes, there was blood!
and the bridge of his nose was gone!
But he forgot the pain momentarily
as he heard the order: Charge the
crest of the hill" pass from mouth to
mouth as it came from Grant. His
pulses leapt. His blood fairly bounded
| at the words. He tried to rise and
obey, but he could neither see nor
walk.
"Hurrah fer th'-stars an'-stripes!
he shouted in the exultation OF the
moment, but the effort cost him throbs
of pain.
A vehicle full of belated celebra-
tionists, hurrying after the procession
heard his shout "a drunken soldier,
they said. Weak-Eyed thought an
ammunition wagon was hurrying to
the front.
His sight cleared a little after the
first daze from his fall. In the dis
lance he saw clouds OF dust arising

DECORATION DAY EPISODE.
Simple but Patriotic Exercises in

Simple but Patriotic Exercises in
Western Frontier Town.
For genuine patriotism one must
go to the country, or, better still, to
the frontier or mountain towns. AwaJ
from the maddening rush for wealth
the people live closer to nature and
also get opportunities to form social
acquaintances which develop into the
closest friendships. Holidays to this
class are something out of the ordi-
nary" Having thus delivered himself
the old-time newspaper man pondered
a while and then resumed somewhat
as follows: Away back in 1888 | was
stranded in little mountain hamlet
in Colorado called Georgetown. 1t
was Decoration day. My cash had
run out, the two weeklies had full
complement of help and | was up
against it.
"Going along the main street, ran
across a local correspondent for one
lof the weeklies, whom l had met in
JDenver. He gave me the glad hand
and asked if had struck any aurifer-
GUS ore. Having told him of the de-
pleted condition of the treasury, he
stated that committee appointed by
the G. A. r. post had met with hard
luck in lassooing a speaker for the
program at the cemetery. Then an
idea struck him.
"'Say, pard, why can't you give us
a lift? There's five dollar gold
piece in it,
did l take it? Well, l delivered
the best speech ever made in the
Rockies. But you should nave seen
that procession. Miners wearing their
red or blue shirts, with great leather
belts to hold their trousers in place,
sans coat and vest, but shod in high
top boots and on their heads were
SLOUGH hats or sombreros adorned
with rattlers. Here and there was a
real veteran, whose empty sleeve CT
limp demonstrated that he had helped
defend the stars and stripes. Alto.
gether there were fewer than 800 men
in line. But patriotism, pure and IL
adulterated, beat in every breast.
was accorded a position of honor at
the head of the line alongside my
friend, who was past commander of
the post and measured about feet
4. The commander was DOT 2, anu
we made up great bunch. The line
of march took in the main street of
the town and then over two miles of
rocky road to the cemetery. Once
there l delivered my little talk and
then the veterans tenderly placed
flags and flowers on the graves of
their beloved dead. Many a teardrop
fell upon the blossoms as the old boys
passed them around and recalled their
gallant comrades of years agone.
, There was no work in Georgetown
I that day, for it was holiday devoted
to the memory of the brave men who
fought to preserve the nations honor.
Give me the frontier for the real ar.
ticle in patriotism"

Let No Soldier Be Forgotten.

The significance of the day should
inspire every veteran soldier and sail
or to pay homage to the valorous
deeds of their comrades of 1898. The
annals of our country have been made
glorious by the noble and heroic sac
rifices of her sons.
1t is our duty to keep ever present
in our memories the historic deeds of
the patriotic dcad-our country's
dead.

The music was still playing, clearer

Rememher the Sailors.

A worthy custom of Memorial day
exercises is the strewing of flowers
on the waters in memory of the sail
ors Of the civil war who persisted in
the mighty conflict. And surely worthy
of honor are the men who fought with
Farragut and our other great naval
leaders. In the exercises of the day
they should never be forgotten.

A serious wreck on the Northern
Pacific occurred Saturday about six
miles east Of Fargo, in which Con-
ductor Golf and his brakeman J. G..
Congdon, Of a westbound freight
train, which was run into by a west
bound passenger train, lost their lives.
The passenger train was running at a
rate of IS miles an hour and depite
the fact that neither the engineer or
fireman of the passenger engine left
their places, both escaped uninjured.
The caboose Of the freight train
wa badly smashed and the boiler and
cab Of the engine were thrown upon a
fiat car.
The accident was due to a misun-
Outstanding Of orders, on the part Of
the dead conductor, and'to a heavy
fog. The passenger train was run-
ming in two sections and the freight
crew had full knowledge Of this fact.

National Sound Money league; Repre-
sentatives Babcock, Overstreet, Payne
and many other prominent men were

h need of a more comprehensive
system Of handling bank balances at
large centers Of trade. His argument
was in line with the views expressed
before the National Bankers associa-
ton, at Milwaukee, last all.
The dinner was, in fact, an informal
monetary conference and an exchange
Of opinions, the result of which will be
nothing less than important and far
reaching legislation upon the vital
question Of finance and currency, either
at this or some future session.
There were remarks made by Senator
Aldrich, Of Rhode Island, who was one
of those most actively engaged in the
formation of the present currency

NOT A "QUlTTER."
Babcock EmphaticaiIy Denies That
He Has Laid Down."


Washington, Feb. 1O-Representatiyes
Babcock II Tawney both deny that
they have thrown up their hands on
the tariff fight, as the New York
Herald reports. Both are emphatic In
this, although they have different
means of attaining their end. Bah
cock wants to put his bill as a rider
on the revenue repeal bill. The house
leaders will not let him. The rule which
will be reported to the house will con-
tain a provision f%orbidding amend
ments. The majority leaders will not
let this rule be brought in until they
are sure Of a majority vote for its
adoption. That is why they allow so
much time for the consideration of
the oleomargine bill. Babcock defined
his position In unmistakable language.
He said:
Amy statement that ! have laid
down or thrown up my hands on my
tariff-reduction fight is all rot. / am
going to use every means in my power
to bring 1t before the house and will
not give up the fight as long as | am
in congress"
THE vote was seven to six agains
the Babcock bill in committee on Mon
day, and l am glad to say that / was
one of the SIX" is the way Representa-
tive Tawney speaks of his action in
trying to help Babcock get his bill up
for consideration. Counting the alb
s%entees, it is said that the bill, on a
final showing, will be defeated in
committee by a vote of nine to eight.
Mr.. Tawney will be counted on to vote
with Babcock every time the bill comes
up.
