Movement of Sentiment.

DRY Of those who died for their coun-
try and pays homage to their surviv-
ing comrades who risked their lives in
the same noble cause. And hen we
have placed flowers on the graves OF
the dead heroes and stood uncovered
al the thinning line of veterans winds
slowly past, let us turn from contem-
plating the heroism of dying for ones
country to considering the greater he
roism of living for it.
What the country needs most to-day
is the patriot whose highest purpose
is to maintain in all it's glory and
honor the nation for which the patriot
of the early SOS freely offered and
gave his life. Our chief duty is to
preserve in peace and unity what was
won in war.
Sometimes it is much easier to die
for ones country than to live for it.
There is no glamour, no dash, no spec
tacle or enthusiasm in winning the
moral victories of peace. They come
chiefly as the result of battles of the
mind, moral conflicts, to the heroes of
which the nation gives neither honors,
pensions o medals. ..-.
The man who lives for his country is
just as jealous for her honor as the
man who dies for it. He does not place
a wreath of flowers on the grave of a
veteran and then betray the nation for
which that veteran gave his life. He
is among the first to honor the heroes
of the war because he is himself a he
ro-a hero of peace.
This country paid~a heavy price for
liberty and national union. 1t cannot
maintain these things without further
sacrifices. But the price the living
have to pay is not in blood and treas
ure, but in obedience to law, in re-
spect for justice, in fidelity to our
ideals, principles and Institutions

Before Silas could reply the bell

evidently embarrassed, but had a ready
excuse for her appearance in a demand
upon Lucy for the key of the shop.

were silent while it passed, Lucy and
Jackson exchanging stolen glances,

Her husband threw an imploring

Reassured, Silas brought another
stool close to hers. But since you are
here, Jane, dear, don't you think you

For answer, Jane simply laid her hand
in his; then, turning to the girl: Here

PRESENT MEANING.
Memorial Day Has Different signih-
canoe to Generation of To-Day
Than It Had to Past. .

AS farther and farther in the dim
background recedes memories of our sad
civil war, there is noticed more and
more change in Memorial day sugges-
ton.
The little children that nov celebrate
May 80 are quite innocent of thought of
bloodshed and ruin of war; thetr minds
are filled with a gentle, lovely custom,
the recurrence of a very pleasant day
when they are taken out to a sunny tree
empowered place and hidden strew fiow-
ers on mounds of green grass. The time
of year. the hushed attitude of the peo-
pie, are significant of joy and peace,
rather than grief or turmoil. Memorial
day, a national holiday, should but bind
closer north and south.
And those that hear the story have it's
horrors softened by the distance of past
years; while they may thrill at story Of
hero and patriot, the bitterness of the
fratricidal wal is n@ felt. 1t is well to
tell the stories, but best, it seems to us, is
the lesson of remembrance. of loyalty
and u~nforgotten love, taught by the flow
ers on the graves.
Our fall festival of Thanksgiving ie the
worldwide harvest home, as well as the
Puritan holiday, the return of thanks for
the relief of that distressed colony. Me-
mortal day, celebrated the country over,
is now more than a tribute to the soldiers
though that is of itself worthy. Little
by little, without conscious effort, the
day has become a day for remembrance
of the citizen dead, too, a day when the
world-weary, world-busy halt a moment
to take remembrance of past days, past
kindred and friends. The soldiers that
are left decorate the grave of comrade-
in-arms. and remember the mound Of
wife and of child. of friend that never
fought in battle. Memorial day has be-
come a day when love triumphs oYer
war.

Lucy made extra effort to place the

for with this excuse she could see the
other bakery on, the opposite side OF

a fag-which, however, he suddenly
slipped behind his back, for at that mo-

clerk obediently followed him, with d

since she left her husband and started
in business in opposition, he had been

wife and customers at once" they said.
But nobody pitied Silas Briggs; he
vas reputed hard. narrow and morose.
1t was common gossip that his refusal
TO contribute to a Decoration day fund
was the immediate of the separa-
ton from his wife. "A man that takes
no interest in this day-a man that's
too stingy to help honor the graves of
those boys, blue OF gray, is no man
for mel"
That was a year ago., and in his shop
to-day there were the same dingy shut
ters, the same weather beaten door, the
same poor display in the curtainless
window.
An hour before the procession started
SiIas Briggs announced to his clerk:
'Lm going out now, Jackson; now, be-
fore the mob gets started. Take care of

Young Jackson followed him to the
door, where he mustered courage to say:

And his employer withdrew, banging

flag. He farcied a wreath, in Lucy's

STARTED IN DIXIE
THE SOUTH SAID TO HAVE Or
IGINATED MEMORIAL DAY.
A Georgia Lady First Suggested the
Idea-Has Been Observed in
the Northern States
Since 1868.

At this season we read not a few
newspaper stories of some new find
concerning the beginning of Memorial
day tribute of flowers. The south has
gotten out a little book telling how
the custom had it's start in a Georgia
town.
In January, 1886, Miss Lizzie Ruth
erford, of Columbus, Ca, who had la
bored z~ealously during the war as a
member of the Soldiers Aid society
asked Mrs. Jane Martin to go with her
to the cemetery to look after the sol
diers' graves there. On the way home
the ladies talked of the men that had
given up their lives for their cause, and
Miss Rutherford suggested that the
Soldiers Aid form itself into a memoir
ial association, and that a day every
year be set aside for caring for and
decorating the soldiers graves. HeI
companion received the suggestion
with enthusiasm; thought it would be
an easy matter to interest other WON.
en- in the memorial idea.
At the next meeting of the Soldiers
Aid society there was organized the
Ladies' Memorial association, which
should provide for annual decoration
of the graves. The date chosen for the
fiower-strewing was April 26. So
cieties all over the south sprang up in
response to an appeal from the Column
bus Memorial association, and the an
nual custom was established.
The north Sympathized with this
tribute, but found the date chosen by
the south too early. A southerne1

tom by the northerners: THE north
looked on, thought the custom good
took it to herself and has hallowed il
as she does her Thanksgiving obliga-
ton. April was too early for her flow.
ers, hence she set apart May 80"
The first general observance of the
day in the north was in 1868. Gen
John A. Logan, commander-in-chief OF
the Grand Army of the Republic, sent
out a long order, which contained these
words: "The 30th of May is designated
for the purpose of strewing with flow
ers or otherwise decorating the graves
Of comrades who died in defense OF
their country. No form of ceremony
is prescribed, but posts and comrades
will in their own way arrange fitting
services and testimonials of respect
And it was added: IF other eyes grow
dull, and other hearts cold in the trust
ours shall keep it well as long as the
warmth and light of life remains to
u.s."
1t is said that a veteran living in
Cincinnati had made the suggestion to
the adjutant general of the grand
army, and he in turn drafted a general
order to the Grand Army posts to sci
aside a decoration day. Gen. Logan
enlarged the order and sent it out Of
ficially. In 1868, or a special day, sol.
diers' graves were decorated in 49,
cemeteries of q states; the next year
$50 cities and towns in 81 states OBJ
served Memorial day. 1t is now one OF
our great national holidays.
Miss Rutherford said she got her In
spiration for Memorial day from
story called Initials" in which was
described a custom among Germans OF
decorating the graves of friends on a
special day.

Holiday to Be Preserved.

1t is to be hoped that Memorial day
will never lose it's sanctity. AS long as
Old Glory waves and the republic sur
wives it should remain the one day devot-
ed to rehearsing the immortal valor OF
the millions of American freemen who
died that their country might live.

Not Divided in Death

In the north, as in the south, there is
no sectional distinction; the graves of
the union and the confederate dead are
decorated alike. They lie side by side in
our national cemeteries.
