Cover them over with beautiful flowers
Deck them with garlands, these brothers

Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, these brothers
of ours.
Lying so silent, by night and by day.
Sleeping the years of their manhood
away
Years they had marked Tor the Joys oil
the brave,
Years they must spend in the Wondering
grave.
All the bright laurels they waited to
bloom,
Fell from their hopes when they fell to
the tomb.
Give them the need they have won in
the past,
Give them the honors their future forecast
Give them the chaplcts they won in the
strife,
Give them the laurels they lost with
their life.
Cover them oyer-ycs, cover them over
Parent, husband brother and lover
Crown in your hearts those dead heroes
of ours,
And cover them over with beautiful
flowers.
Another poet equally as felicitous III

From prairie. and meadow and lawn,

They live, though the pulses are still.
And the souls from the caskets are
gone;
Our brothers are only "oif duty
Redeemed with the ransom they
gave.
They live, though they've laid down
their burden,
I he knapsack, and musket and sabre
For Pam is the cradle of birth.
And Death is but Life in disguise;
They live-and the flowers are guerd DON
A tribute from neighbor to neighbor;
AS we lose the last glimpse of earth
We catch the first view of the skies.

people.

bread is from dough of juniper ber-
ries. These are relished by some

facture cakes out of different kinds of
bulbs.
The prairie Indians relish a dish of
wild turnips. which civilized people
would not be likely to enjoy at ALL In

which grow on mesquite bushes are
utilized for food.
Soap berries furnish an agreeable
diet for some savages in this country.
while in California the copper colored
aborlgines do not disdain the seeds OF
salt grass.
Also in California the Digger In
dams collect pine nuts, sometimes
called phones, by kindling fires against
the trees, thus causing the nuts to
fall out of the cones. At the same
time a sweet gum exudes from the
bark, serving the purpose of sugar.
The seeds of gourds are consumed by
Indians in Arizona.
