AS we gather today with spring flow
ers to do reverance to the heroes who
have gone we must look back that hall
a century to review those scenes oil
conflict.
The cannon that then dealt death and
destruction are today moss covered and
buried beneath the debris Of the battle
fields Of old.
Time has healed the ravages Of war,
and covered with softening hand the
evidences Of that four years Of warfare.
But we have the remaining gray-haired
veterans, and the graves of those passed
away, to remind us of the valor Of
!Columbia's sons.
The generation Of today has not for
gotten, and the generations yet unborn
will not forget, the care due these final
resting places Of nations dead.
We scatter flowers upon them in token
Of our appreciation Of their services to
their country Of yesterday, our country
Of today.
Whatever their place in life, whatever
their station, whatever their fortune, they
are deserving of equal honor at our
hands.
And unto them a grateful nation has
dedicated this day; day on which we,
with freshest flowers, pay tribute to the
memory Of the nations heroes.

Shoemaker's Last.

The following is taken from hand.
bill issued by provincial bootmaker:
1.-THE shoemaker is a man Of great
learning. He is doctor as well as a
surgeon, for he not only heels but
performs many cutting operations. He
is fishmonger, for he sells soles and
heels. He is schoolmaster for he
gives good understanding. He is
good speaker, for he always works
the thread of his argument, wakes
warm to his subject, and holds all to
tha last -

A well known London physician at

nothing but howl with pain. What

Seoul and Its Inmates.

A recent estimate Of the population
Of Seoul gives the total at 199,3O5. In
every ward but the north one the
number of males exceeds that of fe-
males, but in that part of the city the
number of males is given as $1,000,
while the females are 10000. This
would be hard to explain on any or
binary theory of population. Seoul
has no quarter set aside for the exclu-
sive residence of females.-Korea Dali

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
Ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great.

Rock Island BUYS Many Ties.

Rock Island Buys Many Ties.
The Rock Island railroad has just
closed contracts with land owners
near Van Meter and Bonneville for
between 10000 and $4,000 white oak
ties to be delivered this season.
Practically all of the ties will be
used on the Iowa division of the road
in repair work.
For the past year, northern roads
lave no difficulty in securing ties,
Finally some one noticed the white
oak timber near Van Meter and sug-
gested it to the tie department of
the Rock Island.
The price of the tie material has
about doubled in the past ten years.
White oak ties, then plentiful at 40
cents, are now hard to secure at rs
cents each. Timber that then was
thought worthless or good only for
firewood Is said to be tolerahly good
FOR ties. Treated yellow pine and
Oregon fir ties are now hard to Sc
cure at 80 cents apiece.
About 100000 ties were used in re-
pair work on the Iowa division Of
the Rock Island last year.

commission for a revision of the
