ou,raeing Memorial Day.

The veterans and those who appreciate
what they did from 1861 to ioo5, nv -
dicnant over the way Memorial LAY nas
come to be regarded by a large elelii5n'
of the American people. lhsteau "
ING locked upon as an occasion ior pay
ing respect to the departed Ameflcah sui.
der who has served honorably IN INC
field it is turned into holiday 70 70
nassed frivolously and without the silsnt-
est regard for the sacred nature Oh an
anniversary dedicated to high aims ana
lofty natriotism. Each succeeding anni-
versary is more and more joyous occa-
sion and less and less an object lesson
Of gratitude to those who SO noDly sefs-
od the nation in the hour Of trial.
When first instituted there was no
thought of leyity in connection with us
observance. The parade moved through
streets to the strains of the funerai
march. the beating Of the muf1ed drum,
the shrouding of the flag with Grape tne
soldiers with arms reversed. Inc respect
full attention Of the multitude correspond
ed to the somber professional. IN lne
cemeteries crowds assembled for the ex-
ercises and to see the floral tributes Oh
the mounds of the heroes who had an
swered the final roll call. In the churcnes
congregations listened to addresses IN
keeping with the solemnity Of the day.
That was generation ago. A great
change has come over those who have
come upon the stage of action since. Inc
present generation does not appreciate
the sacrifices the soldiers made in the
long drawn out war Of the COS, such as
their forbears well knew, or they would
never allow the day to degenerate into
season of merrymaking, with contests on
land and water by day, and dances at
night, upsetting completely the meaning
of the anniversary. The dissertation has
come to such pass that unless change
comes over the public mind it will be
necessary to abolish Memorial Day. Or
course this will be a hardship to those
who now make it festival for it will
mean one less holiday struck from the
calendar, and on that account solely it
will be deplored. The flowers can be
strewn just as we'll without ceremonial
and interruption to business and have
equal honor and equal meaning for our
sleeping heroes as if day were set apart
for this distinction. In this way the
mockery and heartlessness which now
discredit Memorial Day will cease to dis
grace it before the world.-Utica Globe.

Everybody

after reading the letter. Everybody
gathered around to hear it.
'My Dear Cousin-Do you remember
your story about the deserter's grave in
the old cemetery that Mrs. Green told
you? Before writing it up for the paper
I sent Joe Richards name and regiment
to the War Department, and asked them
for his record in the army. I send you
the reply got, and hope you will give it
a wide circulation without letting it come
to the ears Of his sensitive father.
ut seems that Joe was detailed to look
after a lot Of sick and wounded soldiers
in an old farm house down in Georgia,
and the sight of the suffering turned his
brain. He did everything for the poor,
mangled sufferers that he could, but lost
his reason. He and his comrades were
captured by the rebels, and in the trou-
blous times that followed Joe's identity
was completely lost. After the war he
was confined in an insane asylum, and
only when death came to release him
was he able to tell about his former life.
His poor old father was heart-broken
at the thought of his son suffering all
those years among strangers, and never
spoke Of it to any one.
II will never print the story. 1t Is too
pathetic and too sacred; but I hope you
will see, Addie, that the poor fellow has
justice in the minds Of his neighbors and
one-time friends at last. / had hoped
to come back and bring the letter myself,
but cannot get off. l am sure you will
show it, though, to as many as possible
before Decoration Day. Hastily,
FIRED"
John Richards sat near his sons grave,
as he always did while the work Of dec
Grating was going on, and looked visit
fully at the white-robed children strew-
ing flowers while the band played a SOL
emn funeral dirge. "My Joe was as
brave as any of them," he said aloud.
"And yet they never put flowers on his
grave Poor boy, as long as father lives
you will not be neglected"
Nearer and nearer came the music, and
nearer and nearer marched the flower
laden children. Keeping step to the mu
sic, the old veterans took their places
around the Richards lot, and one by one
twelve exquisite floral pieces-one for
each year he had been neglected-were
laid near Joe's blossom-covered grave.
Through his tears Joe's father saw
white pillow inscribed "Comrade,' and
lovely crown laid reverently on the green
sod, and then he sobbed like child.
A choir, led by the musicians, sang,
crest, Hero, Rest" after the wealth of
flowers had been lavished on poor Joe;
and then the crowd drifted away leaving
the old man, who never knew his son

WHAT THE KING EATS.
What's Fit for Him.

A Massachusetts, lady who has been
through the mill with the trials Of the
usual housekeeper and mother relates
an interesting incident that occurred
not long ago. She says:
Il can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial Of
all cereal foods in my family, young
as well as old. It is food and medi-
cine both to us. A few mornings ago
at breakfast my little boy said:
Mamma, does the King eat Grape
Nuts every morningp
Il smiled and told him I did not
know, but that l thought Grape-Nuts
certainly made delicious dish, fit for
King" Cts fact that the King of
England and the German Emperor
both eat Grape-Nuts).
L find that by the constant use of
Grape-Nuts not only as morning
cereal, but also in buildings, salads,
etc., made after the delicious recipes
found in the little book in each pack
age 1t is proving to be a great nerve
food for me, besides having complete
~ cured long standing case Of indi-
-sestion." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek, Mich.
There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days trial of this proper food
In place Of improper food will show In
steady, stronger nerves, sharper brain
and the power to "go" longer and
further and accomplish more. There's
reason.

little book, 'The Road to MELVILLE"

AN EARTHLY TRINITY.
Health and Wealth Ought to Be Linked
with HaDnir,ess.

Health and Wealth Ought to Be Linked
with Happiness.
We are used to feel, to put 1tcrudely,
that folks who have health and money
ought to be happy. And SO they should.
A sufficient income promotes comfort,
and that contributes to cheerfulness Of
spirit, and to have health, Of course,
means to feel we'll, and that is long
step toward feeling good. But how far
do we have to look to find persons with
health to sQuander and more money
than they know how to spend making
strenuous efforts to attain happiness
and merely achieving impaired health?
If you have health and money you can
usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment Is
a different article, and even when you
have got enjoyment happiness may
still elude you. Pleasure pals and
sometimes demoralizes; enjoyment cas-
lily yields to WEAKNESS, but you don't
get tired Of being happy, and you may
be ever so tired and be happy STILL
Happiness is state Of satisfaction.
One reason why it is so elusive may be
because we human creatures are
complication Of body, mind and spirit,
and require for our complete satisfac-
ton particularly nice adjustment Of
blessings and Of conduct. If we IN
dulge the body too much the other two
partners become mutinous; if we over
cultivate the mind the body may break
down, and if we bestow all our atten-
ton on mind and body, the spirit, ig-
nored, takes a sure vengeance on us
for our neglect. It is so difficult SO to
measure and direct our efforts as to
appease all the demands of our tripli-
cate natures that the simpler way Is
to regard happiness as a byproduct,
give over all direct attempts to acquire
a constant Supply Of it and simply ac-
cept however much Of it may come
while we go about our business with
such intelligence as we can. We can
usually keep our bodies in fair repair
If we are not too lazy or too self-1ndul-
gent. If we have to earn our livings
our minds and bodies, too, find occupa-
ton that is usually wholesome, and
the discipline Of work done, as 1t usu-
ally is, for others as we'll as for our
selves, helps to satisfy the exactiong
Of the spirit. -Harper's Weekly.

The gift Of the Irish peasant for
making expressive and humorous
phrases is not by any means fiction
Of literature. The use of ''pat''
phrases is natural to him, says Illus
trated Bits.
A clerical traveller in Cavan not
long ago asked peasant how far it
was to certain village, and was an
swered, ''Two miles"
"What! Only two miles?" said the
traveller, who had before travelled the
distance and found it long road.
''Well, your reverence" answered
the peasant, sit is two miles strong
and rich, SO to sphake."
A somewhat similar story is told by
one Of Lord Zetland's party, who were
making inquiries into the condition Of
distressed district. They were cross
ing a lake; a gale was blowing, and
waves were dashing over the boat.
The gentleman referred to had been
assured that an Irish peasant, if treat
ed well, will always agree with what
is said to him, rather than appear dis
agreeable. It struck the gentleman
that here was q good chance to put
the assertion to proof.
"There is very little wind, Pat he
said to one of the boatmen.
The answer came through the howl
ing elements:
Every little, indade, yer honor, but
phwat there is is mighty sthrong."

Those faces grave and these faces gay;

Decoration Day,

For them no more the cannons roar,
The riot Of charge or sally;
No more they reel from the shock of steel,
Nor thrill when the drum beats "Rally!''
Low they lie in the warm earth's breast,
Breathe not Of war above theml
They conquered peace and a laureled rest
And the whole broad land to love them.
In lilies white, in roses bright,
Again we tell the story
OF our love and pride in the men who died
In the shadow Of Old Glory.
