site selected by the Confederates, ana
no prettier spot could have been cho-
sen, about 600 yards west of north of
the stockade.
So closely had the uncoffined and
emaciated remains been buried that
each grave occupied but little over u
inches in width, consequently, the
small tablets, provided by the govern
ment, measuring 10 inches in width,
nearly touched each other. To-day
those tablets are replaced by neat mar
bic headstones. On these small mar
BILE slabs is chiseled the name, rank,
regiment, company and date Of death.
OF that number there were Il, 461 and
on 451 other and shorlcr slabs is only
the word-"Unknown." These are
scattered through the long rows Of
headstones and are easily detected by
their height and tell a pathetic story,
their fate unknown and their last rest
ing place a mystery. Like sentinels
on guard, the long rows of white head
stones CLEAN in the sunshine with
beautiful shrubbery and majestic trees
for a background and on Memorial day
starry banners float from each, the
Red, White and Blue famed by the
soft Southern breeze like fields Of
waving blossoms According to Off
cial records 1910 prisoners lie buried
there.
On each Memorial day several hun
dred from the Old Soldiers colony at
Fitzgerald, Ga, and members of the
G. A. r. posts at Macon and Atlanta,
assemble at Andersonville and deco
rate the graves of their sleeping he
roes. The Flower Brigade" made up
of children and young ladies from
Fitzgerald, is an attractive feature in
the program, each State in the Union

ing the name of her State, and respond

motto as her floral offering upon the

the tiny waving flags over the sur
rounding graves.
A carpet Of Bermuda grass covers

Father Of Modern Landscape

Constable painted the scene as he
saw it, but be was not satisfied with
merely copying nature. 1t was to him
so real a companion that, in the first
place, he tried to make it live in his
pictures-that the clouds might move
and overhang the spot, that its atmos
phere might penetrate every part of
the scene, and that trees and water
and the very plants by the roadside
might move and have their being in it;
and secondly, he put his own personal
affection into his representation. Then
too. in the matter of color, which can
not be judged from the reproduction
he dared to paint nature green. as he
saw it. and the skies blue, with the
sunshine either yellow or glaring
white. 1t is, then, because of this
closer faithfulness to the hueS of ma
ture, and to the effects Of movement
of atmosphere. and of light, and be-
cause he interpreted nature according
to his own mood, that Constable is
called the father of modern landscape.
For these are the qualities that par
ticularly occupied the artists of the
nineteenth century.-St. Nicholas.

GAME WORTH THE CANDLE

There was never a rose without a thorn.
Never cake that we ate and had,
The COW mad ever crumpled horn
To toss the maiden all forlorn
Until she was yet more sad.
The apples over the farmers wall
Were probably grated from Eden's
tree,
But when we had eaten them, after all,
Irespassing somewhere about nightfall
They commonly failed to agree.
And love, my Phylida, love the rose,
Love the apple that tempted Eve?-
Because of the thorn that about it grows
Because OF the greenness that nothing
shows,
Apple and rose shall we leave?
No, my Phyllida, come what may,
Bleeding fingers or broken hearts;
Live and love for our little day,
Tear off armor and cast away
Shields against Cupid's darts!
