MORALES LAPSE
1t Came of a Thirst Inspired the
Night Before.

Ed Morales. 4 citizen of Tucson. who
claims that until yesterday morning he
had lead a blameless life. arrived in
Phoenix on the morning of January "a.
a Friday. He had lived in Tucson just
thirteen years and when he got off the
tain at the Maricopa & Phoenix depot
he had just s13 in his pocket This COM

enough to hoodoo a better ana stronger
man than Morales. That night he met
man he knew. They began TO pledge
each others health in many merry
bowls. so many that when Morales re-
covered consciousness yesterday morn

He remembered with longing the

would have given his right arm for half

Morales, though. was determined to
have drink at any cost so that it did
not have to be paid for in cash. He

could succeed in bringing himself into

a harder task before him in similarly

Morales came to the Bohemian wine
saloon and entered. While the bar

Mr. Runners song and chorus Down Where the Cotton Blossoms Grow" was very fine.
 Mr. Wrlghts singing Is too well-known to need praise. Ills rich baritone filled the house to perfection.
 Prof. eierman's violin solo Down on the Suanee River" was simply immense.

Downright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
Dressed in his only suit OF navy blue.
Old Weak-Eyed Jones sat uncomfort-
ably on n of the backless benches IN
front of the speakers stand. The post
adjutant was reading the post orders.
The boys in blue, scattered hither and
thither, bent an attentive a and held
their yellow-corded hats to one side to
shade their fading eyesight from the
waning sun.
Far away under the trees of the park
lounged hundreds Of people. Polite
attention prevailed among those with
in hearing distance; farther away the
hum Of voices and shouts of unsup-
pressed laughter arose on the air in
u~nmistakable volume. This was sac
rilege to the ears of Weak-Eyed Jones.
To him no event vas more solemn
than the present, and it seemed the
same dignity and reverence he felt
should actuate the conduct OF others.
The air was ~suffocating. Early in

Battle Ground Made Sacred.

Old soldiers on Memeria4 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 a time by the
stone that marks the center of the
rwenty-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
every inch Of which was saturated
ard made sacred by the blood of
heroes"

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 gone! A bullet had carried him
down at the first onslaught, he con-
Guided. 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 ove the ramparts and
after them-through woods, over logs,
past gulches, and into the face Of q
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 a 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'-str.pes!"
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.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1902-05-30

10 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 reta]iats
with a "Hurrah for the boys of '61!"
but the voice was lost in the lusty
tide OF cheering for "The boys of 1884,"
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 th%oroughfare, 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, it's marble monuments,
it's Towering shrubbery, it's trees OF
green, with rare exactness beyond.
Weak-Eyed Jones raised his eyes to
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 were getting more and more I'M
certain. A ~momentary dizziness came
over him.
"Hark!" Suddenly the music Of tho
flies and drums floated to his ears with
a strangely familiar sound. 1t took
him back to the front again, back to
the days Of '63! Once more he RAJ a
youth-strong, vigorous, in arms!
And could this, then, be Thomas bril-
gade?-and yonder-yonder hill-his-
sionary Ridge where, proudly drawn
in battle array, the Confederate
legions awaited them calmly with a
welcome Of leaden death?
And whence all this rub-a-dub-dub,
rub-a-dub-dub, that fired the very
blood within the veins? All! Foolish
question! Why ask when there was
Soffels, the drummer boy? Nobody
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

Billy, l give-'em-t'-ye, but-Ill-

He attempted to rise, but could not.
Some one held a flask to his lips and
he drank.
The procession meantime wended
down the hill again.
The first columns swept past where
Weak-Eyed Jones was prone upon the
grass. Some one stepped out to hail
some passing vehicle. The mayors
carriage approached. "A jolly old
drunk, there!" the occupants remark
ed, then bowled away up the street
and out Of hearing. Another carriage
swept past without a heed, a load OF
flower girls drew near. The driver
was beckoned to halt, but his atten-
ton was centered upon his screaming,
laughing passengers.
The sun was now almost set.
Presently Weak-Eyed Jones feebly
raised himself upon his emaciated
elbows. peered with all the power he
could muster through his almost sight
less orbs in the direction of the blood
red sun and moved his lips to speak:
"Yes-they're waitin'-fer me, Bill
ly. l ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS!
he said.
Later, when strange hands gathered
from the wayside all that was mortal
of the dauntless soldier, a withered
spray of honeysuckle slipped unheed-
ed from his nerveless grasp. In the
meantime the city had resumed the
noisy tenor of it's way, and Memorial
day and its meaning had all but be-
come forgotten.
