There is every indication that moth
ing in men summer attire will be SO
dazzling as the waistcoats, which are
not only elaborate in design, but more
delicate than usual in color. One that
has kept a crowd in front Of an uptown
haberdasher 8 window for the last week
is made Of linen varying in color from
dark to blue so light as to be almost
white. The color is scattered like sun
bursts over the material, which is cut
in a way to make the waistcoat seem a
cluster Of blue and white sunbursts.
On one pocket is embroidered in heavy
dark blue the monogram of the wearer,
Simpler, though scarcely less pronoune'
ed in style, is white canvas waist
coat edged with heavy white satin
braid. These new fashion, it need not
be said, make waistcoats nearly as
costly as an ordinary suit.

Many things are promised for the
new road. Being a continuous road,
there will be no waiting for trains.
With continuous train, il is pointed
out, more seats will be provided than
can be filed. Transfers will be given
TO every line whose tracks it crosses,
esealators from the new line to the
street will be placed at every corner,
and at frequent intervals between them
and any jar or noise will be obviated
through rubber cushi ned wheels. In
jury through falling will be practical
ly impossible, and through the con
struction of the cars injury from being
caught in the mechanism will be inn
possible. There will be four distinct
platforms moving in either direction.
The entire affair, Of course, will be
underground. On entering the subway
person will reach platform, which
will be stationary. Next to this will
be platform about two feet wide,
which will move at II rate of three
miles an hour, or about half as fast
as the ordinary escalator. Within this
will be another platform of the same
width moving at the rate of six miles
an hour, while within that will be the
fourth platform, on which passengers
will ride This platform, six feet wide,
will be fitted with cross seats, each
to accommodate four persons, leaving
room enough on the outer side of the
platform for runway. This platform
will move at the rate of nine miles an
hour. The system is planned to ac-
commodate $4,000 persons an hour when
in full operation. Its estimated cost
will be $5,OOO,OOO.

The Citizen
Soldier of
Our Armies

So little did some appreciate the
real character of the citizen soldier
that when the civil war ended there
were numerous alarming predictions
that the country would be flooded
with great hordes of idlers or worse,
whom the life of the camp had unfit
ted for the wavs of orderly industry.
1lled.
In the light of what we have learned
But needed not to have been taught of
the character of the citizen soldier we
may see clearly enough that these pre-
sictions were wholly unwarranted.
The upbuilders of the nation in its in
fancy, the thriftiest and most progress
sive men in the thirteen original
states, were largely drawn from the
citizen army of the revolution More
over, the musket bearers of the revo-
lYtion became the pioneers in the
west, the state makers of the wilder
ness beyond the Alleghanies.
1t was not due to any partiality that
every member save one of Washing
tons first cabinet was his comrade in
arms. The ability of the country had
been enlisted in the great struggle for
national independence, and the conti-
mental army was therefore the best
source from which the first President
could draw aid and counsel in laying
the foundations of the federal govern
ment. Thus have we seen that the
spirit which distinguishes a citizen
Army, inspiring the soldier in thu be-
G : ming and throughout, finds its rm-
piist and joyfulest expression al he
end Of the conflict in converting Ihe
energy of swords into that of plow-
shares and reaping in paths of peace
the harvest of devotion in fields of
war.
War did not make the men of the
ueion armies.
It was observed. with some express
t:!on of astonishment, by Gen. Grant
that whatever kind of mechanical
skill was required for the varied works
rad labors of camp or siege or march,
from single brigade could always be
drawn more than enough artisans of
every class and of the highest degree
OF efficiency for any task, from the
smallest to the largest, of repair or
construction. The most varied and
unusual skill could always be found in
abundance among the private soldiers.
Here again we learn that all i'm
portant lesson that the defender of
the country was citizen before he
was a soldier, and not the less ar. eff
cient fighting man for that. That he
was SO good citizen. indeed, is the
reason why he made so good a soldier
1t was not the war which made great
Men of those leaders who, having TAX
en- part in that memorable conflict, af-
terward distinguished themselves in
the councils of peace. They were men
OF unusual powers in embryo before
the war, and as a rule would have ris-
en- to distinction among their fellows
if there had been no war. Many. in
deed, became more llustrious in peace
than they ever were in strife.

"Cheers for the
Living. Tears
for the Dead"
Col. Ineorsoll

The past arises before me, az it
were, like dream. Again we ara in
the great struggle for national life
We hear the sounds of preparation
the music of boisterous drums-the
silver voices of heroic bugles
We see thousands of assemblages,
and hear the appeals of orators; we
see the pale cheeks of women. and
the flushed faces of men; and in those
assemblages we see all the dead
whose dust we have covered with
flowers. We lose sight of them no
more.
We are with them when they enlist
in the great army of freedom. We
see them part with those they love
Some are walking for the last time in
quiet, woody places, with the maiGens
they adore We hear the whisperings
and the sweet VOWS Of eternal love as
they lingeringly part forever. Others
are bending over cradles, kissing
babes that are asleep.
We see them all as they march
proudly away under the Haunting
flags, keeping time to the grand, wild
music of war-marching down the
streets of the great cities-through
the towns and across the prairies-
down to the fields Of glory. to do ana
to die for the eternal right
We go with them. one and all. We

Have All Nations Gratitude


1t has been said that republics are
nngrateful. but that is not true of the
people who live in this one The old
remember too well, and the young
have learned to know the grandeur OF
the struggle that maintained the in
tegrity of the nation. The emblem OF
the Grand Army has come to be sa-
cred, and the tattereu flags of 'G1 fill
the eyes with tears.
The soldiers of the great war
are growing old, and the sentiment OF
pity has no place in the observance
of Memorial day. Rather do we glory
in the strength that after forty years
on the march of life still revivifies
the footsteps of the veterans as they
touch elbows once more and hear the
music of the old war songs. Rather
do we thrill with pride at the many
stalwart figures that carry their years
as lightly as if the spirit of patriotism
had proved in some sort fountain
of youth. Rather do we envy those
men that they had share in one Of
the holiest and-to the vision of to-
day-the most romantic war the world
has ever seen.
