obey.
Was that the foe there, entrenched
at the base of the HILL calmly waiting
with muskets primed and ready? But
never 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 gone! 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 fed. 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 a
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 fan. In the dis
tance he saw clouds of dust arising.

Battle Ground Made Sacred.

Old soldiers on Memeria. day live
again in the memories of the past.
The fierce battles and weary marcnes
are looked back to with pride. OF
the sanguinary day at Gettysburg an
eastern writer says:
Reader, when you visit the field of
the first days fight, and you walk
past the spot where Reynolds fell
and enter the woods where every
gnarled tree is torn by shot and shell.
you will see a line of monuments
crossing your pain. Pause when you
reach them. stand for time by the
stone that marks the center of the
Twenty-fourth Michigan Regiment
and recall the day of the battle You
will then be standing near the center
of the Iron Brigade. On the right of
that organization was the brigade OF
Roy Stone, and on the left that or
Col. Chapman Biddle. Walk the line
of these brigades from right to left
ah. yes, you may walk the line of the
whole First Corps-and you cannot
step without treading upon ground

DECORATION DAY EPISODE.
Simple but Patriotic Exercises in
Western Frontier Town.

"CSNSTn EToHIIcT sO"Hs
For genuine patriotism one must
go to the country. or, better still, to
the frontier or mountain towns. Awa.-
from the maddening rush for wealth
the people live closer to nature and
also get opportunities to form social
acqua intances 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
q while and then resumed somewhat
as follows: Away back in 1883 l was
stranded in a little mountain hamlet
in Colorado called Georgetown. It
was Decoration day. My cash had
run out, the two weeklies had a full
complement of help and l was up
against it.
Going along the main street, l ran
across local correspondent for one
OF the weeklies, whom l had met in
Denver. He gave me the glad hand
and asked if l had struck any aurifer-
Gus ore. Having told him of the de-
pieted condition of the treasury. he
stated that committee appointed by
the G. A. r. post had met with hard
luck in laSsooing speaker for the
program at the cemetery. Then an
idea struck him.
Say, pard, why can't you give us
lift? There's a five dollar gold
piece in it,'
Did l take it? Well, I 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
Slouch hats or sombrerOs adorned
with rattlers. Here and there was a
real veteran. whose empty sleeve c
limp demonstrated that he had helped
defend the stars and stripes. Alto
gether there were fewer than 300 men
in line. But patriotism, pure and II

was accorded position of honor at
the head of the line alongside my
friend, who was past commander of
the post and measured about feet

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 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
that day, for it was holiday devoted
10 the memory of the brave men who
fought to preserve the nations honor.
Give me the frontier for the real ar
ticle in patriotism"

Weak-Eyed Jones feebly raised him
self upon his elbows and peered at the
blood-red sun.
The smoke OF the battle" he thought.
The music was still playing, clearer
and louder than ever, indicating the
enthusiasm of battle. Someone ap-
preached his side.
Only -scrape-comrade! he said
"Never-mind me-I'll be-all right
soon. There's work-fer you-up
there" He indicated the hill with
wave of his hand.
Il tell you he's not drunk; he's
sick" The man at his side addressed
some one near at hand.
In pity they tried to raise him to
his feet His legs would not support
him; he collapsed again at the foot
of the tree.
A roll of drums fioated across the
valley and into the OLD mans ears.
"Hark!" he exclaimed, raising him
self with heroic effort. Il hearth

another direction. Back of Mt. lions

to move along. Shouts of ''Hurrah."
Hurrah!' greeted his ears from every
side. Proudly he lifted his head and
threw his shoulders back with unc-
tious military dignity.
The ovation continued with increas-
ed enthusiasm as they passed up the
street. Someone tried to retaliate
with ''Hurrah for the boys OF '61!"
but the voice was lost in the lusty
tide of cheering for The boys of $751;"
Following the squad OF soldiers came
a bicycle brigade. men on horseback,
and, lastly, wagon loads of flower
girls dressed in white-wagons for
strong. healthy girls. while decrepit
old veterans must go afoot.
AS the long line rounded a corner
and passed from the boulevard into an
east and west thoroughfare, Weak
Eyed Jones tottered. Bravely he pull
ed his remaining strength together
and ambled on, his faltering footsteps
unable to beat time to the rapid mu-
sic. Many of his comrades, too, had
long since forgotten how to march.
And how few they numbered now
these veterans!
Mount Zion cemetery was a beauti-
full spot-lifted above woods and sky
just beyond where the lake nestled
quietly between, two hillsideS-the val
ley, with its ribbon of a rivulet, wind
ing verdure-laden at its woody base,
the azure heavens outlining it's great
white gates, its marble monuments,
its towering shrubbery, its trees of
green, with rare eXactness beyond
Weak-Eyed Jones raised his eyes to
the hill yet in the distance He could
see but the outline of the hallowed
spot rising against the lurid sky. His
spirit was awed! The heavy march
was telling on his weakened body, his
steps We're getting more and more un-
, certain. A momentary dizziness came
over him.
''Hark." Suddenly the music of the
flies and drums f1oated to his ears with
strangely familiar sound. 1t took
him back to the front again. back to
the days of '63 Once more he was a
youth-strong. vigorous. in arms,
And could this. then. be Thomas bri-

in battle array, the Confederate
legions awaited them calmly with a
welcome of leaden death?
And whence all this rub-a-dub-dub,

question! Why ask when there was

but Soffels could drum like that, Sof-
fels was the only one who could make
his drum talk in accents SO clear
and true-now gay. gay as the morn
ing sunlight; now sad-sad as the
hour of death. as he turned the tide of
battle into victory or defeat!
Take the rife-pits at the base, then
halt and reform," Weak-Eyed Jones
heard the order as clear as on the
day it fred the souls of thousands of
Union soldiers to battle and to vic
tory. The march of many feet was
heard; the CLINT of polished bayonets
seen. The stars and stripes stood

The significance of the day should
inspire every veteran soldier and sail
or to pay homage to the vaiorous
deeds of their comrades of 1898. The

leaders. In the exercises of the day
they should never be forgotten.
