that this nation might live, the body OF

place where forever It will lie.
The body was removed from the re

been that silent watch of men in uni
form, which the army provides for its
dead, to the grave.
Funeral Procession.
In front of a caisson will go the Thir-

behind It will come two troops Of that
regiment. Behind the cavaIrymen will
