Pathos Of the Encampment.


Some Of the correspondents at San
Francisco dwell overmuch on the tottcr-
ing figures and haulting steps of the
Grand Army veterans on the march.
This picture Of decrepitude and of march
ing out of time is mere fancy sketch.
The truth is, the veterans Of the civil
war bear their age, and many Of them
their wounds, we'll.
| Most of them are old men now and not
a few are stiff f-jointed and slow of step,
but undoubtedly those who appeared IN
the parade Wednesday marched with
military precision and looked the part
they played as makers of history"
Most of the surviving veterans who en-
listed in 1861 are from sixty to seventy
years of age. Most of those who enlist
ed in 1854 and 1865 range in age from
fifty-four to sixty. There are no young
men in the ranks, but there are many
vigorous ones. The pathetic feature of
the Grand Army encampments is not
the feebleness of those who attend, but
the solicitude as to the thinning ranks
that finds expression in the veterans
face.
In the battles that schooled them to
the highest standards OF the soldier and
that bred in them the finest ideals of
comradeship, the veterans were wont to
close in when men fell, and keep up a
compact formation to resist the enemy.
They close in now, but with a different
feeling. There is no dash OF defiance in
their eyes, no look of grim resistance on
their faces. They are facing the newt
able and they know it, and show it in
their faces and in the way they carry
themselves.
The pathos of the encampment is in
the gentle dignity of the old fighting
soldier as he accepts the new conditions
of patience and resignation imposed upon
him by advancing years.
Eyes that look back over ranks that
were full forty-two years ago and find in
all the musterings of the Grand Army
only small group Of the hundred com
rades OF war times, or possibly only a
single survivor, must tell the story Of a
soldiers heart, and this is the look that
gives distinctive character to the soldier
gatherings of this day.
The soldier spirit is still there. The
love for comrade idealized and strength
ened, is there, but the picture is of men
"who have fought the good fight" stand
ing close together in the light Of glorious
achievement just outside the gates OF
"Fame's eternal camping ground with
the tenderness and pride Of old comrade-
ship softening their faces. - Chicago

Talk of the Times.

The longer we live the more convinced
we become that there are two sides to
every question. The wise man hears
both sides before making up his mind.
How careful we should be about jump
ing at conclusions after hearing one side.
Especially in matters Of difference be
tween individuals we should arbitrate,
because usually both are right and both
are wrong in some particulars. This is
plea for both sides to every controversy.
It's the only way to avoid error and get
at the truth.
Editing newspaper is nice thing.
II we publish jokes people say we are
rattle Drained. II we don't we are an
old fossil. II we publish original matter
they say we don't give them enough Sc
lections. II we give them selections they
say we are too lazy to write. II we don't
go to church we are heather; il we do
we are hypocrite. II we remain in the
Office we ought to go out and hustle for
locals. II we go out we are not attend
ing to business. II we wear old clothes
they laugh at us. II we wear good
clothes they say we have pull. Now,
what are we to doy Just as likely some
one will say we stole this item from our
exchanges, and SO we did.
