Day by day their ranks are thinning, one
by one they disappear.
And at each succeeding roll call, fewer
voices answer: "HereI'
Still their regiments are marching-many
march with noiseless tread,
And no bugles sound assembly" in the
bivouac of the dead.
Hats are reverently lifted to the heroes
lying here;
Lift them to the living heroes-hail them
all with cheer on cheer.
Not for long will they be with u.s. soon
each regiment will be
Tented here beneath the blossoms of the
land ii helped to free.
But to-day the drums are muffied and the
flag at half-mast waves,
Keeping green dead heroes memories as
the grass above their graves.
Still another weary winter shrouded In the
snow they lay;
Now we bring them crowns and garlands
of the loveliest blooms of May.
Let them rest in honored slumber, while
their praise. from shore to shore,
Eighty millions throats are swelling-we
are free forevermore!

Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.

The greatest service the Grand Army
of the Republic has rendered is the
beautiful way in which it gives life to
the principles of the Observation-Disclosures
ternity, charity and loyalty.
That millions OF men of every degree
of life and station should for 40 years
be bound together by this common bond
of brotherhood is not only worthy of
admiration, but also of imitation by the
members of this republic.
Charity, or love, is the greatest thing
in the world, and love is the key to
every department of life, the founda-
ton of patriotic teaching, the safety of
the country, the home and the individ-
ual.
Loyalty to their comrades, their or
ganization, their country and their God
has been fittingly illustrated in the
lives of these boys in blue.
This trinity of principles, II copied
by our 100000 citizens, would make
us the greatest nation on earth.

Sleeping. Not Dead.

We silent men, who to your country gave
The last full measure of devotion-life-
Ye fell asleep while the tumultuous
strife
Around yeu swelled in fury. like the wave
Which breaks upon the rocks which prove
its grave.
To-day, around you all the air is rife
With wailing cries from bugle and from
fife
The voice of that dear land you died to
save,
Nay, we have never died-ye live to-day
In every soul which joys that IL is free;
n that fair flag with which the breezes
play,
With every flashing star undimmed, un-
lost;
In all our hearts, which clay like yours
shall be
Before our land forgets what freedom
cost.

and she is often the bread-winner of
the family Whether she is sick or
well, whether it rains or shines, she
must get to her place of employment,
perform the duties eXacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is burden.
All these symptoms point to de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Miss Abby +. Barrows, Jacksonville.
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
IL feel it my duty to tell you the good
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before
| took them l was very nervous, had dull
headaches, pains in back, and periods were
irregular, had been to several doctors, and
they did me no good.
"Your medicine has made me well and
strong. / can do most any kind of work
without complaint, and my periods are all
right.
III am in better health than ever was,
and / know it is all due to your remedies /
recommend your advice and medicine to all
who suffer-"
It is to such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out a helping hand and ex-
tends a cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law of
Lydia +. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record of
success in treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass.

CLOTHES AND CONDUCT.

Addison could not write his best un-
less he was we'll dressed.
Every man and every woman feels
the influence of clothes and appearance
upon conduct.
Indeed, in a millennium OF free
clothes of the latest fashion We shall
all be srchangels.
You have heard c. the lonely man In
the Australian push who always put
on evening dress for dinner, so that
he might remember he was gentle
man.
Put a naughty girl into her best
Sunday clothes, and she will behave
quite nicely. Put BLACKBOARD into
khaki and he will be hero. Pu:
an omnibus conductor into uniform
and he will live up to his clothes.

Let ali men know we keep their vigil while
they sleep
On guard, for aye, of this great nations
destiny.
These heroes have not laid their brave
lives down in vain,
Her sons again have pledged our land to
liberty
o hearts that grieve to-day for soldiers
far away,
Who bore our country's flag and died to
set men free.
Look up and sigh no more Like those who
died before,
The nation keeps their memories and the
peoples hearts are true.
For Chickamauga still echoes on through
San Juan Hill
To one nation and one people meath the
red, white and blue.

THE POINT OF THE PROVERB

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick to his last. 1t means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
1t means, stick to your plow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick to your brush.
When we make experiments out of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
II is amusing, however, to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows work
better than the other fellow himself.
The painter imagines he can mako
paint better than the paint manufac-
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
a job of painting better, or at least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate of the Painters Union, ANY.
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
"None of your ready made mixtures
for me; reckon l ought to know
how to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker. stick
to your last" The fancy farmer"
can farm, of course, but it is an ex-
pensive amusement. II 1t strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars a dozen, 1t
is a form of amusement, to be sure,
If he can afford 1t, but it's not farm
ing. If the farmer likes to slosh
around with a paint brush and can af-
ford the time and the expense of hav-
ing a practical painter do the job
right pretty soon afterward, it's a
harmless form of amusement. II the
painters customers can afford to
stand for paint that comes off in half
the time it should, they have a perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill in paint making. But
In none of these cases does the shoe
maker stick to his last.
There is just one class of men in
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing 1t right; and that is the
paint manufacturers-the makers Of
the standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mireS paints;
the paint manufacturer grinds them
together. In a good ready-prepared
paint every particle of one kind Of
pigment is forced to join hands with
a particle of another kind and every
bit of solid matter is forced, as 1t
were, to open its mouth and drink In
fits share of linseed oil. That is the
only way good paint can be made, and
If the painter knew how to do 1t he
has nothing at hand to do it with. A
paint pot and a paddle are a poor
substitute for power-mixers, buhr-mills
and roller-mills.
The man who owns a building and
neglects to paint it as often as 1t
needs paint Is only a degree more
short-sighted than the one who tries
to do his own painting or allows the
painter to mix his paint for him.

Glove of Country Alone"

Love of country alone could have in
spired 100000 men to die for the union.
Nothing less sacred than this love of
country could have sustained IFS, 900
brave men who suffered and starved
and died in rebel prisons. Nor could
anything else have given comfort to the
100000 MANNED and diseased who
escaped immediate death in siege and
battle to end in torment the remainder
of their patriot lives."-William Nc.

The Fallen.

Harkl a bugle winds shrill
Ger the brow of the HILL
At whose base stygian waters outpour;
IT'S our comrades, beyond sight,
Signal back through the night
To the few who are left on this shore.
Old Charon oars free
our brave hosts through the sea,
AS they, prompt TO the bugle, respond
How his boat rocks and rolls,
With the weight OF their souls,
Who are linked with affections strong
bond.
To the blue and the gray
Gives he each right Of way.
And a chaplet of glory as well;
Since nobly they fought
Each as honor had taught,
And nobly, as heroes, they fell.
