Grand Army Is Dwindling

The recent disbanding of post of

ling away of its membership, has
served as a vivid reminder to many
an old veteran of the civil war that
the time is not far distant when the
great order must pass away.
Unlike most organizations of its
kind the Grand Army Of the Republic
can not be recruited from the de-
scendants of its original members or
from any source save one which is
constantly shrinking. None but SOL

in the civil war are eligible, and when

Three years ago l was one OF
little party that went into the Adiron-
dacks on a hunting and fishing expedi
ton. There were only four of us, so
we did not consider 1t worth while to
employ a cook. agreeing that each in
turn should have charge of the culin-
airy department. When it came to al
lotting terms of service. someone sug-
gested that the first chef should do
the work until complaint was made
about his cooking, when the maker OF
the complaint should succeed him.
The next kicker was to take the place
of the second, and so on. A young
fellow named Jones was assigned to
create the part and began his duties
the day that camp was pitched.
Jones was nice young chap and a
willing worker at first, but as time
passed and no aspirant appeared to
relieve him he grew weary of the task.
