PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
MEMORIAL DAY

Tradition has it that about the time the Civil War broke out, soldier of the German army came to this country, and, enlisting in our army, served through the war. About the time the war closed he casually remarked one day that it was the custom in Germany for the people to scatter flowers on the graves of soldiers once a year. Moth ing more was said at the time, but it is supposed that this was the origin of Memorial Day"
 For the past two years the people of Douglas Island have observed "Memor- ial Day" by appropriate exercises and the decoration of the graves of such soldiers as are in the cemetery here. We cannot do a wiser thing than to honor the memories of the departed defenders of the flag, and in so doing show, not only that we are grateful for what they did, but that We love the Nation whose banner they followed and wish to do something to prove that We are worthy of the name of Ameri- cans.
 But the patriot dead are not only those who wore the blue and marched under the flag; not alone their graves do we honor. There were patriots who have fallen in the battle of life who never carried musket, who are none the less honored by those whose homes have been blessed by them.
 We hope to see the schools, the churches, fraternal societies, and citi- zens generally unite in a plan for a proper observance of "Memorial Day" this year.

THE BIG TREE

When the convention was called to order at the big tree, the roll call show ed that the Raven had been absent for two weeks, whereupon the Tree de- handed an explanation of her conduct. The Raven then said, T have been just awfully busy the past two weeks and really couldn't find time to attend. You see such a queer thing happened week ago last Sunday One of the old timers in Douglas went to church, for the first time in years. When he came up the aisle one woman who knew him we'll was so surprised that she tainted"
 That's nothing, said the Bench, "lots of people in that town only go to church about once a year"
 And what do you think" continued the Raven, "there were 75 baby buggies and go-carts came to Douglas on one of the last boats"
 "What in the world will they do with them?" asked the Tree.
 "Why, haul babies in them of cours C" 1" groaned the bench.
 And" said the Raven, after a mo- ments pause, "the dog-killer is in Ju- neau.
 "Good," said the Bench, in tone that sounded like q laugh.
 ''What interest have you got in hay ing the dogs killed in Juneau?" asked the Tree.
 "Oh, dogs?" said the bench in dis gust, "You said dog-killer." Ethought you said Rog-killer,"
 "How's businessg" asked the Raven.
 "Holding up" answered the Bench. "Tm sorry l said things about the young folks going back on me. Ever since 1 made the remark I've had to carry double"
 "What do you mean by that?''
 "Oh, the boys are afraid to hold the girls on their laps, for fear ] will tell on them.n
 What do you think" sand the RaYen1 ''I was up to the Crows Nest last week, and they say that another one of the regular boarders is to be married when"
 "Yes, 1 know" interrupted the Bench.
 'You know to mach" said the Tree and the convention adjourned.

The John Muir science club, of Ju- neau, spent last Sunday on Lemon creek looking for the lemon. It is said that the boys who compose the club were accompanied on this trip by a learned "Professor," who carried for hours 8 beautiful specimen of q mountain lily" which the boys ex- tracted from the heart of a skunk cab bage. The odor finally overcame his admiration for the rare flower.

THE PARK

Did you go to the Park Sunday? A crowd of willing workers began work on the new short cut, which reduces the distance from the cemetery to the Park about one half. The day was ideal, and the progress made was most encouraging,
 Another most encouraging feature vas the appearance of the ladies with we'll filed dinner baskets.
 On next Sunday, weather permitting, there will be more strong men and handsome ladies. No invitations will be issued, but those who wish to spend a day in the woods may come. The park belongs to everybody who cares to enjoy it; there is no fence around it; you may pick the flowers, walk on the grass, fall in the creek or do anything else that you like.
