day snugly, firmly planted in the public
schools of the land. as well as other
schools-in the academies, colleges and
universities. He lived to see the day de-
yelop into national holiday by common
consent, if not by law. But he did not
live to see it take possession of the edu-
eational interests of the country he
wrought so grandy for. in war as well as
peace.
Most of the young fellows who sprang
to arms when war with Spain was de-
clared were schooled to the practical pat
riotism they so glowingly manifested in
the schools where they had been looking
at and hearing about the flag and the
country of which it is the blessed emblem
the flag and country they are willing to
die for. if their lives are demanded. The

Among the many places of interest

none so historic in its character or of
which so much has been spoken and writ

Confederate prison and the national Gem
etery, in which lie the remains of over
1900 Union soldiers. 1t lies eleven
miles northeast of Americas and can
be reached by rail or carriage. The drive
is a pleasant and picturesque one, the
road winding among the hills and valleys
and passing through forests of pine. OF

The necessity for clean z UP the
rubbish on the farm and burning it is
not entirely for the purpose of improv-
ing the appearance of the farm. al
though it should be done for this effect
If nothing else We're to be gained Dur
ing the winter large numbers of in
sects injurious to farm crops pass
their time among the rubbish, and are
generally in good shape early in the
spring TO make havoc among the first
crops which appear. Therefore. if the
rubbish is gathered into heaps as early
in the spring as the work can be done
and the mass burned the insects will
be destroyed. The work requires but
little time. and the results are so de-
sirabie that one onght not to hesitate
a moment about doing it. 1t viii pay
to get out the hay rake and 20 all over
the meadows and the fields on which
stubble of any kind has been left and
rake up the rubbish for burning.

DO You know what it means, you boys and

Round the silent lannon's mouth,
This strewing with flowers the grass grown

This decking with garlands the statues

This planting of flags

This marching ana singing,
These bells al a-ringing,
These faces grave and these faces gay,
This talk Of the blue and the talk of the
In the North and the South. Memorial
DayE
Not simply a show time. boys and girls.
Is this day Of falling flowers,
Not naGeant or play
Nor a holiday
of flags ana floral bowers;
1t is something more than the day that
starts,
War memories athrob in veteran hearts;
For across the years
TO the hopes and the fears,
TO the days Of battle.
OF roar and rattle.
TO the past that now seems so far away
Do the sons Of the blue and the sons oil
the gray
Gaze, hahu claSplnS manu. MeHiotidi LAY
For the wreck and the wrong of it, boys
and girls,
For the terror and loss as well.
Our hearts must hold
A regret untold
A. we think OF those who fell,
Bur their Hood Oh whichever side they
fought.
Rcmade the nation aud progress wrought
We forget the woe.
For we live and know
That the lighting and signing.
Tac falling and dying,
Were but steps toward the future, the
martyrs way.
Adcwn which the sons of the blue and this
gray
Look with love and with pride. Memorial

Dried Vegetables.

In Germany an important industry is
being established in dried vegetables.
At one factory in West Germany last
year, which paid dividend of twenty
per cent, the following materials We're
dealt with: $50 tons of French beans
(sliced), $50 tons carrots, 40 tons saw
DRY, fifty tons celery, 10 tons potatoes,
162 tons white cabbage, fifty tons on
ions, ffty-four tons turnips; total, 1876
tons. This firm is now doubling their
plant. When the factory was first start
ed only twelve per cent of the yege-
tables could be obtained locally, last
year thirty per cent was obtained in
the immediate neighborhood of the fac
tory, and the tenants of the farms in
the vicinity have found it so profitable
to grow supply of the raw produce,
that they now have 125 acres under
cultivation for this company. and an
other fifty acres at a little distance
away.

HOW GENERAL LOGAN euLoED.

for Memorial day. Ii may be doubted.
Possibly he saw far enough into the flu
ture to discover a general observance Of
the dag by the men who. like himself, had
helped TO do tina, which warranted the
establishment of the beautiful customs Of
Memorial Jay. That much would have
been natural But he surely did not pic
ture To himself all OF the Developments OF
the movement. Did be realize then that
Memorial day ceremonies would be made
the foundation for patriotic education such
as no other country has experienced-such
as this country never before experienced?
Probably not. Did Logan look far enough
ahead TO see that the great semi-military
order of which he was the head would
have beea numbered with the dead long
arn had il not been for Memorial day and
tho srel..s IDEAS born OF that day. 1t Is
not likely. Did he realize then that Ne

Friday before the Both of May has be-
come as fixed and as useful as the original
Memorial day. 1t is the children's great
day for demonstrating their interest Al
and love for their country.
Not the least of the good work that has
come from Memorial day is the patriotic
effort made in the churches of all Ienomi-
nations. The work has carried the Ameri-
can flag into thousands of houses of wor-
ship and led to the preaching of tens of
thousands of patriotic sermons, not TO
mention the exercises that have been in
PRODUCED into most of the Sunday schools
exercises that carry to young hearts love
of country and a much better understand
ing of that country.
Logan builded far better than he knew.
Il is shown that the custom he introduced
has given the nation a series of days that
are powerful. invaluable in their work OF
patriotic education; has given us schools
which cannot fail to reach and plant good
seed in all heArts: schools that are destin-
ed to become stronger and better as the
years roll along. The time will never
come when il can justly be said that
American patriotism has died ont.

AMONG THE INDIANS.
a Messenger Correspondent Writes
from the South CT Florida.

Fort Lauderdale, Fla, January %.
Editor Messenger:
I am writing you these lines while
sitting on the bank Of New river at
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. among the In
dams. This place is 341 miles south of
Jacksonville on the Florida East Coast
railway. The thermometer registers
about IS today and reminds me Of an
early July day up in North Carolina.
I am in Dade county, which extends
from above Palm Beach to away below
Miami. The length Of the county from
north to south is about $50 miles.
1 am enjoying the novelty Of being In
a temporary Indian camp. In a few
feet of where 1 am sitting, l count
seven grown Indian men. two grown
women and several little boys and girls,
while many more are some distance
away, along the river bank and trading
in two stores which are near ~. They
come in here from the Everglades with
furs with which they buy such things
as they need from the merchants. They
generally reach this point in their long
canoes SIX OIL WHICH are lieu up TiSul
near my feet, form a camp on the bank
and here they remain till thew have
spent about all their money and then
! return to their hunting grounds to get
more hides.
Most of those in sight are now eat
ing dinner-all sitting on the ground,
with fine dogs lying around, and their
guns, tents, tent poles and other kinds
of plumber scattered all around. Some
of the men are quite drunk and remain
so. l am told, as long as they have
money with which to buy strong drink.
The otter skins are the most valua-
BILE they bring in. 1 am told that four
Of the canoes which are now tied up
here, brought in some $4,000 worth.
They came from what is known as Big
Cypress, about IS miles from over to-
wards the west coast.
The men, mostly, hav OF no cloth
ing except a loose garment extending
down to just above the kne-s, against
this style of dress, there seems to be no
special objection except at Palm Beach
I am told that the authorities do MOI
allow it there. Robert Oceoleo has JUS
been talking with me. He is one Of thE
old Indians and can speak English 6
little. He farms some, he says, has sly
sons and a married daughter. He live:
not far away and is here with his one
horse wagon and little pony. Two O
his boys are with him.
