Tremendous applause fol-
lowed, either because the May
or quit or because the Captain
was introduced and the latter
proceeded to proceed to 90 on.
The reception was decided
success. The Captain was i'm
mediately recommended for a
$4,000 pension because of vail.
ant service and because of a
big corn on his little toe caus.
ed by dancing too long in tight
boots. His story was told.
Meanwhile unfortunate Jim,
who had lost both legs at
Shiloh, sat on plank (some-
thing like the sympathetic
planks we put in political plat
forms every four years. upon
this hard plank sat Jim during
this reception. Jim had never
been promoted though he did
fight. Come to think of it
precious few can be promoted
in service or there would be no
men behind the guns. And
what would captains and
colonels and lieute n n ia
amount to without the privatea
to fight and die? Well Jim was
not promoted but he had seen
service. He knew what it was
to be carried from the field on a
stretcher, what it meant to
have suffering prolonged weeks
and months because little or no
surgical and medical attention
was given him. Afterwards he
was refused pension on the
all important points, law! Jim
could not prove whether his
legs were torn off by a cannon
ball or by grape shot! His
story was untold.

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES.

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES.
Union services were held on
Sunday at the Congregational
church. Rev. g. D. Gallagher
delivered the address which he
very appropriately termed the
Untold Story" He said in
part:
The author of the Fourth
Gospel closes his narrative with
these words: "And there are
also many other things which
Jesus did, which should they
be written every one, I suppose
that even the world itself would
not contain the books that
should be written"
From life in which miracle,
good deed and noble teachings
were multiplied, the Apostle
selected such as he deemed
best adapted to the purpose he
had in hand. Not only was it
unnecessary to mention all, it
would have been impossible.
Yet the inference we most
naturally draw from these
closing words is that the writer
considered these events omitted
quite as important as those
mentioned. In calculating any
truth, no writer or speaker ex-
hausts the list of illustrations
or tells all the facts. There
are not only many more but
perhaps better ones left un-
noticed.
The Historian is guided by a
few salient points. In describ.
ing home life he generalizes,
using the names of particular
families very rarely and solely
for the purpose of fixing gener-
al principles in mind. In reli.
Rious movements, such as the
Reformation, the names of
Luther, Melanthon, Calvin,
Farrall, Knox, Westley, COM
memorate the revival. In ma
tional affairs whole epochs are
summed mp in such phrases as,
"The Age of Elizabeth" "The
Reign of Napoleon" "The Ad-
ministration of President Jack
son." While in civil strife the
names of a few men stand for
the nation. The defeat or vic
tory of armies of thousands is
put down as, "Mead's Victory
at Gettysburg" "Beauregard
Wins at Bull Run"
This is perhaps all that an
historian can do. These events
are recorded 30 that future gen.
erations may have a general
knowledge of affairs. 1t would
be quite out of the question for
a writerto mention every hero
and heroine of the home. To
point out each star that glitters
in such an age as that of Eliza
beth, or to name and relate the
deeds of valor of every soldier
that took part in the late Civil
War. For if all these were
told, the world itself would not
contain the books that should
be written. In all walks of life
the great majority of people
have been, are and ever will be
privates, whose deeds are not
recorded on the pages of life's
battles. Only here and there a
foot-note relates some heroic
deed of a standard.bearer. AS
to thousands, none the less
great, not even ar asterisk calls
attention to their names. They
have lived and are living the
priv ate's life. Theirs is an un-
told story; and of this story
may God help me now to tell.
How to begin no W to proceed
is the question. The untold
story means that it has never
been written. No books to
which I have access give in

ofthe thousands who fell before

tells the story of the boys who
charged Nilsson Ridge and who
never came back from the bat
tie above the Clouds. Here
and there rushed the command
er, now down the line under
fire, now in the rear, ever issu-
ing orders: who has told of the
privates as they executed the
orders?
"Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs but to do and die"
Finally the war cloud was
lifted and a peaceful sun once
more shone upon the land.
Universal joy prevailed as it
was announced that the soldiers
would be mustered out, that
the home cox ing was at hand.
And the untold story of that
home coming! What anxious
hearts gathered at the stations
waiting for the arrival of the
company that marched away
four years ago! If JOY was deep
grief was also bottomless. Many
were prepared for that day,
they had learned of the fate of
a son, father, a brother. Many
were in painful suspense. Some
OF the boys came back without
a scratch. More came shatter-
ed in health. Many with empty
sleeves, or with one leg. Many.
we'll, many did not come. Did
you see that mother standing
yonder? Others were eagerly
grasping the hand of a father
or brother or lover. This wo
man stood as one turned to
stone. One by one she has
watched the soldiers step from
the car. She has noted those
carried out on cots; but among
them all is wanting one face, to
her dearer than all others. And
now the truth has cruelty come,
he is not there. All that can
be determined is that he "is
missing" 'Tis the untold story
of sorrow and JOY, tears and
laughter.
And as to what these boys
had done and suffered in the
service it was mostly and is to
this day an untold story. Un-
told even if in some instances
over jealous admirers of GER
tain officers attempted to tell
the story.
In a certain town a reception
was given in honor of a young
man who, during the war, had
been made captain. Never
mind why or what for, some
one must be captain, 1 cast no
slur at this one. l object simply
at the attempt to tell the praise
of one officer and no mention
of the boys who were equally
brave and true. But in this
town the citizens had as.
sembled, the story OF their
captain must be told. Morning
dawned and at an early hour
the public square was crowded
by those who wished to do
honor to the hero who now oc-
cupied prominent place on
the platform. After the band
played the Mayor arose and set
forth the gallant deeds of the
captain as follows.

story, in part, has been told.

describes the emotions which
once dwelled in the breasts of
these privates. And these in
clude not only those who went
to battle but the wives, moth
ers, sisters and swee thearts
who stayed at home.
There was the call for troops.
This call came to a young farm.
er. All day it rang in his ears
and e'er evening approached
the decision was made; he must
go. Unhitching his horses he
came quietly to the barn. The
harness was hung upon the peg
in a way which said, II may
not take them down again."
Coming into the house he found
we'll prepared supper in read
mess, but it was eaten in quiet
ness and tears. That night was
a restless one, love of wife to
husband, of husband to wife
was debating with loyalty to
country. Morning came to eyes
that had not slept. The farm
er made hasty work of his
chores. Throwing a few ears
of corn to his horses and pat
ting each on the neck he said,
goodbye, old fellows, 1 may
never feed you again" Then
came the last breakfast at home.
Though prepared with extra
carefulness it did not seem
palatable. Throats were dry
and swallowing was difficult.
Silently the two arose and
walked to the door. Only a few
weeks since they stood at the
marriage altar; now they stood
at the altar of their country.
The sun stealing through brok-
en- clouds looked upon sprout-
ing grass now springing forth
in response to a warm April
shower. Parting words were
few, down the slope then up
the hill walks the husband.
At the sumit he pauses a mo-
ment to look back at the mo-
tionless figure still in the door
way. A wave of the handker-
chief is answered from the
home and then the hills were
between them. One hundred
such farmers met in town that
day and company was formed.
In a certain town lived son
who said to his widowed moth
er, "Our country has need of
me; good-by, some one will sup
port you." "Good.bv NV son."

At the meeting of the resolutions
committee S. nj. Seibert of Potter

of the platform submitted on national
matters. Mr.. Seibert said he could
see no reason why Democratic party

on the platform, but Mr.. Seibert stood
his ground and offered the following:
I'VE are heartily In accord with the
beliefs and positions taken by our
peerless leader and statesman, Will

and Jackson of the Democratic party
OF today, and endorse his candidacy

The resolution was tabled and the
platform was adopted by the commit
