ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY.
Rufus p. Parrish of kewanee Urged
Commemoration of the Dead.

Rufus p. Parrish of kewanee Urged
Commemoration of the Dead.
Memorial day originated with a man
grave at Kewanee, ILL.,, by one of the
largest throngs of old soldiers that
ever attended a funeral in town of
like size.
The name of this man was Rufus P.
Parrish and it is admitted that let
ter he wrote to Senator John A. Logan
was chiefly instrumental in the action
of congress in establishing a day on
which throughout the nation graves of
the union dead should be strewn with
flowers and their brave acts commem-
grated.
1t is a matter of history that the
custom of decorating graves of SOL
diers was commenced in Kewanee in
1863, five years before Senator Logan
secured the action of congress ap-
pointing a memorial day. 1t is known
that Mr.. Parrish, who had always
taken the greatest interest in this OBJ
servance, wrote an urgent letter to
Senator Logan, urging him to take in
to serious consideration legislation
that would set aside a day on which
all could join in memorial services.
Aside from the interest that Mr.. Par
IRISH took in such patriotic movements
he had very interesting history. His
grandfather on his mothers side car
ried fiint-lock musket in the revolu-
tionary war, and the father of his faith
er was a recruiting officer in the war
of 1912. He was one of fifteen men to
organize the first Y. M. G. A. in the
United States. During the war of the
rebellion and before he was an out
spoken abolitionist and figured promi-
nently in underground railroad work
by which slaves escaped to Canada
He was in the forefront of nearly ev-
cry movement of enlightenment of the
community serving to foster libraries
and lectures.
Mr.. Parrish was born in New Hamp-
shire about eighty-seven years ago and
came to Illinois in April, 1855. He is
survived by his faithful wife, with
whom he dwelt in wedlock for the I'M
usual term of sixty-four years.

shall never forget his face as
handed it to him 1t seemed as a
mighty shadow had fallen upon him.
Hastily tearing open the envelope, he
gave glance at the contents and with
a low moan sank sobbing at my feet.
The letter was from his old pastor,
and told how his wife had taken the
baby and started for a visit to the old
farm, how the team had taken fright
and ran away and wife and child had
been instantly killed. In that one
moment of grief Frank became an old
and broken man. He sought to drown
his sorrow in drink; in every battle he
recklessly exposed himself to death.
At Pleasant Hills he was promoted for
gallantry, but was soon degraded for
drunkenness, and then he sank lower
and lower. At last the war closed, the
old regiment was mustered out and re-
turned home, and / never saw Frank
again until that day under the pouring,
pitiless rain, amid the hurrying throng
in squalor and wretchedness There

over him and prayed that the angel
of death might pass him by But one
morning, just as the first ray of sun
light stole through the half-closed
blind and kissed his cheek, he raised
himself up, and, his eyes glowing with
celestial light, stretched out his little

The Irreverent caddIe.

The general, who as yet is far from

depression from which he seemed

whacks, but only succeeded in moving
the ball few feet. The fourth pro-

and the caddie said: See here, old

Misfortunes' Shafts Fell Heavily on
AGED Veteran.

Aged Veteran.
He was a pitiable old veteran who
stopped me that day on State street.
The rain was pouring steadily down
and the tide of humanity went hur-
rying on with faces as gloomy as the
sky itself, and paused not to hear the
pleadings of him who stood there lean
ing against a lamp-post, red-nosed,
watery-eyed and clad in rags. Upon
his head was an old battered and
ragged hat, from whose hanging rim
the dirty water ran in little muddy
rivulet down to the ground. His feet
were almost bare, his breath redolent
with the fumes of whisky. But there
amid the rags, upon his breast,
cleaned a golden-hued star, an en-
blem of honor, the badge of the Grand
Army of the Republic. He was only
an old topper, but those feet had once
run swift at his country's call in the
days gone by. That breast had been
barred to battle blasts, and those arms
had borne aloft the old flag when stout
hearts were faint with fear. paused

did SO he looked up, and, catching

A Sensational Case.

Aston, Mich, May 25th.-Hough-

more striking medical case than that
Of Mr.. James Culet of this place.
Mr.. Culet had spent small fortune
with the best physicians in the coun-
ty and in addition to this he has tried
every medicine he could hear of.
He had a very bad case of Rheuma-
tism and Kidney Trouble, from which
he had suffered for twenty years.
Nothing he could get seemed to do
him any good, and he was gradually
growing worse.
He has no Rheumatism now and
explains it thus:
"One day I happened to see an ad-
vertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and decided to try them.
81 made up my mind to give them
a good fair trial, as my case was
very bad one and was of over twenty
years standing.
81 used altogether AZ boxes and I
can truthfully say that they have
driven out every trace Of the Rheuma-
tism.
