 She's purity" said gray-haired member of the group. Say, Bill" he continued, addressing a young man at his side, task lem what she's for"
 The soldiers who heard the earnest inquiry of the old mountaineer smiled at his question and wondered at the ignorance it displayed. Buts after all, how many among the illit- crate of our people in our northern answer the question?
 This education. fortunately, may be imparted by common methods oE obtained as the result of personal experiences. Many soldiers of the union who entered the federal serv- ice had at the time but little thought of duty and love of country as they subsequently, learned to comprehend this emotion.
 Probably no better illustration of this fact can be found in the annals of the war than is offered by an incl dent that occurred at Vicksburg not long after the fall of that confed- crate stronghold. Several hundred paroled prisoners of war who had been confipedt in the confederata stockades at Meridian and elsewhere in the interior reached the federal lines one day soon after their ibera- ton and marched into the city through one of the eastern sally ports of the practically impregnahle works which the union forces had erected on the land side of the place after its surrender. A turn in the highway followed by the ragged, emaciated soldiers returning from their bitter captivity, suddenly brought them into view of a large national flag flying from the top of staff not far away.
 At the first view of the flag every head in the column was uncovered. and then, as if with one impulses every hand that held a hat or cap was stretched out towards the flag in mute expression of fealty and devo- tion. A moment later the poor, paS roled captives gave vent to their feel ings in prolonged cheers for the flag, and in cries of thankfulness for their liberation.
 The incident was pathetic in the extreme, and impressed those who witnessed it as one worthy of conn memoration.

Greatest American Festival.

In Memorial day the American people have an observance of greater breadth and scope and appealing to more varied emotions than does that of any other national festival. Washington's and Lin- coln's and other birthdays commemorate particular men, but this commemorates all who have served the nation in the crucial war test of its energy. Labor day is emblematic of industrial achievement, but Memorial day is emblematic of broad CT forms of achievements. The Fourth of July exemplifes national pride, but Me- mof5al day conjoins joy and sorrow. Christmas the American people share with all other Christian nations, but Memorial day is all their own. It is the great and high American festival, and as such as the years go by will 1t be increasingly re- garded and observed.

 Then, this northern iauntie knew of some thing else; strangelooking moundEthat is, strange for a garden--hidden away in the farthest corner behind the big syringa.
 Yet 1t was there, fashioned by Miss Genie's own hands, a memorial to the brave but mistaken lover who fell at Allatoona.
 Although he had turned In mlsled duty from the Stars and Stripes to the Palmetto, he had been royalty loyal to her to the last; for had he not staunched his wounds with his coat of gray and kissed her picture as he faintly said: "Good-by, little sweetheart; 1t is all over with me nowT'

Story of Old Abe,
 Famous War Eagle

TIA OR centuries the eagle has been the IA emblem of liberty, the inspiration of u poets and the terror of his feathered
 friends. The king of birds has fur nished the story-writer with countless incl dents, from aerial battles to child stealing. One of Victor Hugo's greatest poems begins: "L'aigle-c'est le genie-Oiseau de la tenn pete, qui de mont le plus haut cherche le plus haut faite." The poet parallels the struggles of genius with the battle of the eagle for existence, till both spread their wings in the plenitude of power.
 These are the fanciful ways of looking at .he bird of freedom, and 1t was doubtless similar ideas that induced the boys of the Eighth Wisconsin infantry to adopt Old

Union win Live Forever.

With each annual recurrence of Memor- tal day 1t appeals more and more to all the people. Each year there are more who personally knew nothing of the bit terness of the war and who are, therefore, better able to appreciate the splendid cour- ige of the men who took part in it on both sides. Of the great armies of men who volunteered In defense of the flag only a few survivors are left. In the columns which march to the cemeteries this year to decorate the graves of the soldiers will be smaller number of those who wore the blue than ever before, But the number of those who "swell the chorus of the union" IS increasingly larger, And to-day more truly than ever before the flag of the union floats over reunited country.

A Great Day for Children.

Decoration day is an object lesson in pa triotism to the children. How eagerly they take part in the exercises; with what en- thusiasm rises the shrill, childish voice in recitation or chorus! Nor will they forget the lesson thus inculcated. In the days to come, should the flag once more need de- lenders, they will gladly come from the ranks which to-day are learning that he who dies for his country lives forever in the hearts of his fellow countrymen.

seem to hear the drums again
 That thrilled their gallant souls, And o'er the blooming Southern plain
 wave of battle rolls; linear the tread of armed men Of heroes brave and true, And there in Shenandoah's glen
 Isee line of blue. 'T is but dream of what has passed;
 1T is but vision grand; No more we hear the bugles blast
 Nor see that noble band Which, crowned with fame ,came from the wars,
 Athinned and broken line, And laid our flag with all It's stars
 On Freedoms holiest shrine. How few remain of all that host
 That marched to dare and die For Country's sake! From coast to coast
 At rest the comrades lie; So we to-day the flowers strew
 Above the sacred sod, And lift the brave who wore the blue
 In silent prayer to God. Father Thou whose sleepless eye
 Doth mark the sparrow's fall, Look down on those who, proud to die
 For Country, heard her call; Let not one grave by sunlight kissed,
 Wherever it may be This holy day, be flower missed
 Upon the land and sea. They are our dead, the brave who rest
 Beneath the flag they saved; In peace it streams above each breast,
 In war it o'er them waved; may it float for evermore
 Above the loved and true! May flowers fall from shore to shore
 Where sleep the brave in blue!
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-05-30

We come with love and flowers fair
 To deck our sleeping brave, The rose and lily debonair
 We strew on many grave Among the laurel and the bay
 We twine the deathless yew, To crown, this calm and holy day,
 The boys who sleep in blue. No more they march with shout and song
 Behind the stirring drum, No more, two hundred thousand strong,
 By Victory crowned, they come; Beneath Virginia's spreading pines
 They camp for evermore; They sleep in long and silent lines
 By oceans sounding shore. The robin with her breast so red
 Sings to them from her tree, And o'er our missing hero dead
 Huns low the golden bee; The stars above look nightly down From Heavens azure dome, And with their soft light sweetly crown
 The brave who came not home. rt Their swords are sheathed, their bayonets rus Their bugle blasts are still, The gallant steeds they rode are dust
 On many plain and hill; And now where Freedoms breezes blow
 One starry banner waves; may it never cease to throw
 Its shadow on their graves! We call them "Iost" when we cannot
 Above them roses spread, But God has marked each holy spot
 Where dream the Nations dead; Aye, hard by many hist'ric stream
 Of proud and glorious name, catch to-day the sudden gleam
 Of snowy tents of fame.

 AS scholar, the pope ranked among tn first men of his day. In all depart ments of learning his efficiency was remarkable. AS a poet he was recog- nized to possess genius, and a number of his compositions were of the high est order.
 Personally the late pontiff was tall and slender, and his hair was snow white. His face had the kindliest of expressions, and his smile was ready when there was anything amusing said. He possessed a keen wit, tenn pered by his charitable wish not to wound the feelings of others. His manner was high-bred and finished and he possessed a most charming courtesy, which placed all who saw him at their ease He delighted t) chat on literary topics, and to the last found pleasure in reading the great authors of antiquity. His experience in life had been so vast that his re- marks were full Of a quiet wisdom. He impressed every one who met him His personal habits were simple to a degree, for he lived the life of an ascetic His industry and power for work were extraordinary. and the la Dor he daily went through while pope was enough to exhaust a much younger and stronger man.

MINE FATALITIES
 AT CANANEA
TWO MINERS MEET DEATH ON
 MINE CAGES.

Fred Massey's Life Crushed Out by
 Being Caught Between Cage ana
 Timbers-charies Crandsll Dropped
 Four Hundred Feet by Engineer.
 Word reached here yesterday from Cananea that two fatal accidents, most shocking in their nature, had befallen miners there. Fred Massey, miner at the Indiana, and Charles H. Crandall, also employel as a miner in tunnel No. 1 of the Capote mine were the victims.
 The details of the accidents form a tale of horror seldom surpassed In the | chronicles of mine accidents. In both cases the lives of the men were | both crushed out by a cage and the bodies mangled almost beyond recog- nition.
 Massey was the first to meet his dea.h. The accident which ended his | life and left a wife and child to mourn the loss of a husband anu | father occurred on Thursday. From the information received here, it seems that Massey stepped aboard the cage in the shaft of the Indiana and rang to be hoisted to the surface. The engineer did not respond at once, and Massey. without ringing to hold the cage, started to step off to get his candlestock, which he had left sticking ing in a post. Just as he was leaving the cage, it started upward, catching him between it's floor and the station timbers and crushing his body into 2 shapeless mass.
 The engineer discovered that some thing was wrong, and upon investiga tion the lifeless form of the miner wa; found pinned fast. Massey was { popular man in the camp, and a first class miner. His wife and child re side in San Diego, California.
 Friday morning at 6:30, at thu . Capote, Charles H. Crandaii, age, about 65 years, while being lowered into the shaft, was dropped 400 fee and instantly killed. The cause O the accident is said to have been tn, inability of the hoist engineer, mai named Hall, to hold the cage unde control.
 Hall has not been seen since Gran dalrs death. While no articular blam is laid at Halls door, it is thought tha the realization of the terrible fate o Crandall unnerved him to face an ir i; vestigation. Some fear has been e2 tpressed that Halls mind became UT balanced at the horror, and that h

Defeated Reliance in Fair Trial for
 Second Time on Cruise.

Newport, R. l., July 20.-The Consti. tu;ion is rapidly becoming a danger ous rival of the Reliance for the honor of defending the trophy, for the old boat defeated the new one in today s run of thirty seven miles by one minute and twenty-nine seconds, availing herself of her time allowance es imated at about two minutes an1 seventeen seconds.
 This is the second time on the pres ent cruise that the Constitution has won from her rival on time allowance and while the victory on the first di vision, from Glencove to New Haven was due in some measure to change able breezes, the conditions today were as fair for one as for the other.
