pills of the Van Buren,, Ketcham. and
Congress Heights Schools; the Hospital
Band and the Woodcraft Drum Corps.
added materially to one Of the most
successful programs carried out at St
Ehzabeths in years. The decoration fea-
ture OF the day, under the floral com
mittee, in charge OF Mrs. Emily A.
Frisbie, was notably appropriate.
The exercises began at 1880 O'Clock

Post, assisted by the Lincoln Camp,

Rechabites, and the boys of Woodcraft
Short addresses were made by A. B.
Frisbie. D. c. Fountain, B. J. Northcott,
and the Rev. n. H. Miller Eddie Nc
Key played a cOrnet solo.
The speeches of DR.. White and As
sistant Secretary Wilson were listened
TO with rapt attention by the gathered
hundreds, who were glad OF another Op-
portunity 10 pay tribute TO the honored
dead.
Mr.. Wilson said in part;
when I think of what their services
meant to the country, OF what their de-
votion TO duty meant, not only TO the
country then but TO the rising genera
ton and, although many Of them have
been unable to procure but little of the
comforts of this life the lessons they
have taught are Of greater value to the
young generation than the amassing Of a
large fortune, and when l look with a
proper mark of respect at these pa
triOts and remember those who have
gone before. / cannot help but think
that I would rather leave my children
the legacy they left theirs, or that
they may leave theirs, in this regard
than the largest fortune ever made.
When we look around us and study
the conditions of the present day we
notice and find that selfish motives have
sprung up in our commonwealth, with
the spirit Of entire disregard of the COM

are almost unnuticeable. The veuer-
able regent looks much younger than
he is. He IS in splendid physical condi-
ton. His limbs have retained their
elasticity his muscles are still hard,
and nearly every day he defles wind and
weather and undeTgOes the hardships
of the chase, wearing always the old
fashioned grccnish-gruy shooting cos
