With softeEed silver sparkle in the dim
and dusky hall,
With its tassei torn and tattered,
And its blade deep-bruised and battered,
Like the veteran. SCARED and weary, hangs
the old sword ON the wall.
None can tell Its stirring story.
None can sing its deeds of glory
None can say which cause it struck for. or
from what limp hand Ii fell;
On the battlefield they found 1t.
Where the dead lay thick around II,
Friend and foe-a CORY tangle--tossed and
torn by shot and shell.
Who. I wonder. was Its wearer,
Was its stricken soldier bearer9
Was he some proud Southern stripping. tall
and straight and brave and trueg
Dusky locks and lashes had he?
or was he some Northe- :addie,
Fresh and fair, with Ct eeks OF roses, and
with eyes and coat Of bluel
From New Highlands fields of daisies.
Or from Dixie's powered mazes,
Rode he proudly forth to conflict? What,
wonder, was his name?
Did some sister. wife or mother
Mourn husband. son or brother.
Did some sweetheart look with longing for
love who never came?
question: rate forever
Keeps its secret. answering never.
But the grim old blade shall blossom on this
mild Memorial Day:
| Will wreathe its hilt with roses
For the soldier who reposes
Somewhere meath the southern grasses In
his garb of blue or gray.
May the flowers be fair above him.
May the bright buds bend and love him,
May his sleep be deep and dreamless till the
last great bugie call.
And may North and South be nearer
To each others heart and dearer.
For the memory Of their heroes and the old
swords on the wall.

Her companion was q frail little
woman. who, having reached the limit
of her endurance. rose feebly and

and British capitalists. The mines. in
the Chiyor district. are practically in
the same condition as they were in

operation was no longer profitable.

Colombia is a rich country and has

count Of the scarcity Of labor the
aborigines do most OF the work in the
