 Mrs. Melville is younger than I am. We were never engaged. We have known each other for forty years and didn't think it necessary to get en- gagged. We just came over to New York and got married.

ADD A FEW FLOWERS.
Soldiers Graves Should BE Re-
membered by Everybody.

IL is comparatively but short
time since Memorial Day has been
generally observed, and yet in that
brief period the character of those
observances have undergone a de-
cided change. From being original
ly day set apart to decorating the
graves OF those who fell In the de-
fense OF the flag, 1t very naturally
became extended in its scope, until II
is now a day upon which all graves
are decorated. Indeed this has be-
come so universal that the original
intent of the day is, II not lost sight
Of at least made secondary mat
ter. While the graves of the old
soldiers are not neglected, and each
receives II small quota OF. flowers
from the committee of the G. A. II.
and other bodies, still II is true that,
while the day was first devoted 10
decorating soldiers graves, now
such a profusion OF flowers are
brought by families in memory OF
their own dead, that the soldiers
graves are conspicuous as being the
most sparingly decorated with fiow-
ers. The strewing of flowers on the
graves of the loved ones is a beautl-
ful custom, and surely none can find
fault with II, and yet II might be
well for all who thus remember
their dead. to take an additional flow
er or two to adorn the graves marked
with our country's flag. Think of 1t,
and then add each your mite of bios
