AN AfFECTlONATE LETTER.
Capt, ThOS. Graham Greets His Comrades
of the G. A. R. at Their Annual
Meeting Through An Interest
ing Letter.

The annual meeting of Col. Hughes
Post, No. 1853, G. A. r. is ALWAYS
dear to the hearts of the old veterans,
for as the years go by their ranks are
rapidly thinning, and the ravages of
time have SO depleted their numbers
that now, however strong the attempt.
it is possible to assemble only few
of them, ana at each recurring annual
meeting some of those who were pre-
sent the year before have answer
ed the last roll call and gone to their
reward. Although unable to be pre-
sent in person, Comrade Thos. Graham
was with them in his thoughts, no
doubt, when the following touching
letter which he had written was read !:
Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 2, 1904.
To Commander and Comrades,
Colonel Hughes Post No. 1853.
Department of Iowa G. A. r.
Comrades IL greet you one and all,
and while cannot in. person mingle
with you tonight. my hearts impress
sion is stamped upon these pages. SO
that III spirit an with you.
Comrades, the ravages of time have
unwound another years thread of our
lives and we'll tonight may we ex-
claim, "We're nearer our home to-
night than We have ever been be-
fore"
often sit and think how mortality
has visited our Post members; and
that you and have been permitted to
stay little longer, and in my thoughts
l wonder why it is SO. and the only
answer that comes back to me is that
God knows why and that it is best
that we do not.
In looking over the Post reports now
before me find that since I came here
eight years ago 80 comrades have
silently folded their tents and crossed
to the last Great Camping Ground on
the other side of the river, and as /
glance over that galaxy of names q
tear steals down my cheek as I think
of the loss that we have sustained by
death. There is the name of Hitch
cock. who labored so hard to organize
the Post and was it's first Commander !;
and thas dear old Commander Weiser,
whom every comrade honored and
loved; Quartermaster Mckay and
Hull, always at theif-post and Will
lett. Burdick, breckenridge, Reum,
Haas, McCusker, Cameron, Cutler,
Nelson, Russell. Ruffridge. Simpson,
and Greer, and many others that have
gone to their long home.
But it is not the tear at this moment
shed
When the cold turf has been laid DER
them
That can tell how beloved the Com
rade that has fed
Or how deep in our hearts we deplore
him.
Death has no breach
In love and sympathy in hope and
trust.
No outward sign or sound our ears
cali reach;
But there is an inward spiritual
speech
That greets us still, though mortal
tongue be dust.
Comrades. our time is short. In a
few days or months at most, we too
will have answered to our last roll
call; but before we do let us once
moe buckle on the old belt of Com
radship and again touch elbows with
the same loyalty that we did in 1861
and 1865; let us by our example of
loyalty to our country and our true
comradeship show to the rising genera.
tion All example of patriotism and love
that will be guiding star to them
when we are gone.
Yours in f. @. & l..

The men of eighty-five and ninst y
years of age are not the rotund, well
fed, but thin, spare men who live on a
slender diet. Be as careful as he will,
however, a man past middle age, will
occasionally eat too much of some
article of food not suited to his con-
stitution, and will need dose of Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to
cleanse and invigorate his stomach and
regulate his liver and bowels. When
this is done there is no reason why the
average man should not live to old age.

him the judge expressed the belief that
Dawson would not live through his

odd juror. the judge and most OF the

Dawson served Ave years. After his
incarceration some OF the stockholders
in the company believed that because
they had invested money in his plant
they were entitled to have possession of
