Comrades, come with revrent tread
Where our fallen heroes lie;
In this ''City of the Dead"
They. unseen, may hover nigh.
Years and years have rolled away,
Peace has blessed our sacred land;
Living heroes, old and gray,
Gather still, loyal band.
Heart and hand once more we pledge
To maintain our country's laws,
Life or death q privilege
Held for freedoms holy cause.
Ceasing not to mourn for you,
Noble, brave and early lost!
We rejoice We proved SO true,
Even at your lifeblood's cost!

OF our pure, unchanging love,
While sweet hopes within us dwell
OF our meeting time above.

Lifted Some Cuffs

With a desire to emulate the cowboy
career of Thad Sowder Il couple of
youthful students of wild west liter
ature. as turned out by New York and
Chicago publishers, entered J. H.
Peters harness shop last Monday
morning and inquired of the proprie-
tor for a rope to be used as a lariat.
While they were being waited upon
one of them deftly slipped a pair of
handsomely wrought leather cuffs un-
der his coat, buttoning the latter up
closely about his neck to conceal the
stolen goods. and left the store. Mr.
Peters detected the theft almost in
stantly but the boy thief had mounted
his bicycle and ridden away before he
could be charged with the offense.
His companion, however, was informed
that he must recover the stolen arti-
cles or he would be turned over to the
custody of Marshal Mackenzie. He
stoutly denied at first that he knew the
name of the other boy, but on being
threatened with the law agreed to see
that the cuffs were returned in the
course of an hour, q promise that he
redeemed on being released.

year just ending 619,S9O immigrants
storage passengers, arrived here, as

The year of 1902 was a record break
ing year, the increaae over 1901 hav-

Europe contributed by for the largest
proportion of the total. There was,
however, a marked increase in the
