Two Decoration Days.
tBy Hannah G.. Fernald.)


(By Hannah G.. Fernald)
Last year. on Decoration Day,
My mother laid my flowers away,
And said i might not join the throng
OF children who, with solemn song,
Paid tribute to the Nations dead,
The dear flags floating overhead!
And when / cried and asked her why,
So tenderly she made reply:
How may q child who is not brave
Do honor TO a soldiers grave?
The flowers. the flags, the outward
show
Speak Of our reverent hearts below.
But since my boy with coward tears
Yields to his blind, unreasoning fears
1t is not just that he should take
Flowers for our dear, dead heroes
sake!'
The children passed. the music played
Unworthily at home l stayed.
/ tried so hard all through the year
To worst that grim old tyrant. Fear!
To-day my mother bids me go.
For though / am not brave, you know
I've learned that child or hero may !.
Be scared, and still not run away!
The National tribune., 1906-05-10

We call them lost when we cannot
upon them blossoms spread:
But God hath marked each holy spot
where sleep the Nations dead.
O Father. Thou whose sleepless eye
doth mark the sparrows fall!
Look down on those who, proud to die
for country. gave their all.
Let not one grave by sunlight kissed,
no matter where ii be,
This holy day, by mem'ry missed, on
land or meath the sea.

Beyond the Hills.

(By Wilbur u. NesbitD
II can hear the drums as the army
From behind the hills" he said,
And he leaned and smiled like a happy
AS he shook his snowy head
And he clutched his cane while the far
refrain
Came in murmurs to his ears;
But they whispered low: HE has
dreamed 1t so,
And 1t Is no drum he hears"
II can hear the fife as 1t leaps With life,
And the drums roll madly, too"
Was the old man's SIGH, as with kind
ling eye t"th2
He would hum the sar-songs through.
1T is Jimmy sheaaithat is how he'd
play ffUus
When the road was hard and long:
And it's BilIy's drum that is calling
Comet 2tn
AS 1t keeps time with the song"
And his fingers slim beat tattoo grim
On the stout armsfif the chair.
While his lips grew stern and his eyes
would burn fsro'
With the fire that once was there.
..!ogEs
"Oh, the bugle-call o&hd the drums and
+ ALL" IN o
He would say. saTheir music fills
All the night and sday3 can hear them
play sGI
In the march beysnd the hills.
Il can hear the drums, and the army
comes
From beyond the hills" he said.
With his eyes aglow he saluted slow
AS ne touched his snowy head.
Then his eyes were closed as IL he but
doZed,
And his day of days had dawned,
For the low drum-beat had lured his
feet
To the hills--and far beyond.
The boys in blue are turning gray.

Sleep.
(By Tennyson.)

Sleep sweetly, tender heart. in peace;
Sleep, holy spirit blessed soul.
While the stars burn, the moons in
crease.
And the great ages onward roll.
Sleep till the end, true soul and sweet
Nothing comes to thee new or
strange.
Sleep full of rest from head to feet;
Lie still, dry dust, secure of change.
1t Rests With God.
(By Tennyson.)
SO many worlds, so much to do,
So little done, such things to be,
How know I what had need Of thee,
For thou vert strong as thou vert true
The fame is quench'd that foresaw,
The head hath miss'd an earthly
wreath;
1 curse not nature, no, nor death;
For nothing is that errs from law.
We pass; the path that each man trod
Is dim. or will be dim, with weeds:
What fame is left for human deeds
In endless age? It rests with God.
0 hollow wrath Of dying fame,
Fade wholly, while the soul exults,
And self-infOlds the large results
OF force that would have forged q
name. t
The Dead Who sleep in Blue.
(By T. G.. Harbaugh.)
We come again with flowers fair, to
deck the sleeping brave;
The rose and lily debonafr, we cast
on many grave.
Among the laurel and the bay We twine
the deathless yew,
And crown this calm and holy day the
dead who sleep in blue.
III silent soldier camps they sleep,
where battle made men free,
Some where the Southern rivers sweep
majestic to the sea.

1 brought blue violets from the dell
For grandpa's grave to-day.
For grandma says he loved them we'll
Before he marched away.
The other grandpas all are old,
With thin hair almost gray;
But he has curls that shine like gold,
And blue eyes, full of play.
Grandma showed me his picture, hung
Upon chain of gold
How strange that he should be SO

And she should be SO old!

THE COMMISSIONERS MAKE
A SETTLEMENT

Yesterday afternoon the officials
of the Mesa County Fair association
appeared before the county commits
sioners for the purpose of securing If
possibly all or portion of the approp-
Ration made last year by the com
missioners for speeitl premiums at
the fair but which appropriation
could not be collected in fun owing
To the fact that Secretary Fisher had
failed TO file within the proper time a
list of the premiums to be covered
by this appropriation.
The matter has been under the
consideration of the commissioners
cussion and after it had been fully
ascertained that the commissioners
could legally pay at least a portion
of the amount originally appropriate
ed which was $1,000. the commits
sioners agreed to make a payment of
a portion of the amount. and this was
ordered done.
This amount will go a long way
toward paying off the long deferred
premiums of the last fair. The as
sociation must raise several hun
dred dollars to be added to this fund
before all of the premiums can be
paid but it is not likely that much
trouble will be experienced in this
work.
Secretary Chapman states that the
association will be in shape probably
by May l to pay all of the premiums.
The action of the commissioners in
paying a portion of the original ap-
preparation is most eommendable.

II the story in the Denver News. re-
garding the beating of the old man

the people of that city should not
tolerate him as their chief OF police
for one minute longer than the time
1t would take TO depose him. But
the trouble Is to tell II the story is
entirely true. II is well known
fact that the News has been doing
everything in its power for some time
past to hamper the administration
of Mayor Speer and Chief Delaney. in
whatever possible manner II could.
Things of very small importance We're
exaggerated to such an extent that
it made people suspicious. II may
be the case over again of the small
boy and the wolf Something real
" of some consequence has now oc-
CURED which needs attention. but the
News, acting the part of the little
boy yelled wolf so frequently that.
the public pays no attention to the
case. where the wolf really appeared.
Neither one of the other papers I'm
Denver. the Republican of the Post
have taken any notice of the outrage
and II remains to be seen IL Il Is not
largely n case of 1.-THE bounding of a
newspaper against a public officer.

We recommend to everyone of the
Sentlnel's readers 10 read carefully
the little poem at the top of this col
umn. II is by an anonymous author,
but its author, whoever he or she

been ashamed to have fathered the
lines. as the sentiment is most-beau-
tiful. If we can forget the faults
of our brothers, we have reached a
high plane of manhood and woman
hood. IL is most potent argument
against the tattler, babbler, gossipel

VIOLATIONS OF REBATE LAW
INVESTIGATED BY GRAND JURY

Violation of the Ellsins rebate law
are charged against Colorado rail
roads and there promises to be some
sensational developments at the meet
ing of the federal Grand jury this
week.
United States Dist4ict Attorney
Cranston who is in Pueblo attending
the session OF the federal grand jury
states that the jury will be in ses-
sion a week longer than ever before
because of the unusual importance
of the evidence submitted.
The statement made recently to
the effect that among the cases TO
be considered by the jury would be
alleged violations of the Elltins re-
bate law by certain railroads, has
been positively confirmed. George
Kindel. and shippers, said to have
received illegal rebates are among
the witnesses that have been summon
ed to testify against the alleged vio-
lators.
Evidence will also be laid before
the jury of land frauds like those
which resulted in CONNECTIONS last
year of prominent citizens of the
southern part of the state. There is
also report that the jury will be
asked to find true bills against min
ing companies which have been under
the investigation of the postofiiee in
