Recall Old Times
! While the war which is more than
forty years past, the old soldiers never
/ grew tired of retelling incidents and
/ anecdotes of their experiences. To
the younger generation this is equally
if not more interesting 20 hear than
the real story of the war, from the lips
of the veterans. few of the num-
ber were missing, they having an
swered to the sound of taps by the
death angel during the past year.
1t is surprising to see strength and
sturdiness that most of the veterans
who are in Hammond today still dis
play. Few of them show their age. all
are in good spirits. and in peace with
the world and themselves Most of
, them have retired from active life. but
/
their snap and businessiike manner
shows.

!, store for them this evening when they
