Over Iife's desert sand
Faith hope and courage together gone;
Reach him a helping hand;
Turn his darkness d beam of your light;
Kindle, to guide him. a beacon fire bright;
Cheer his Encouragement soOth his alright,
Lovingly help him to stand.
Somebody near you is hungry and cold;
Send him some aid to-day;
Somebody you is feeble and old,
Left without human stay.
Under his burdens put hands kind and strong;
Speak to him tendery sing him song;
Haste to do something to help him along
Over his weary way.
Dear one be busy, for time hieth fast
Soon 1t will ali be gone;
Soon Will our season Of service be past.

Bickerdyke, of Civil Var Fame.

While the land is dotted with monuments In
memory of the heroes of the Civil War none have
ever yet been erected to a woman though many of
the sex rendered great service to their country at
that time. This precedent is about to be broken by
the veterans of Illinois, who are preparing to
Il monument at Galesburg to Mrs. Mary a. BECKER
dyke. better known as Mother Bickerdyke.
Mother" Bickerdyke endeared herself to the SOL
diers OF Both armies during the Civil War by her
work as nurse on the battlefelds and in the hos
pitals and when the grand review of the victorious
armies OF the North took place in Washington in
1865 she was one of the conspicuous figures In
the ranks She rode on horseback with the soldiers
from Illinois. and was cheered equally with the
