although chosen by the survivors OF
the war for the union as season in
which to honor the memory of our
countrys defenders, comes to us from
the southland It was the women of
the south who instituted the custom
of placing flowers upon the graves of
not only their own defenders-none
the less heroes because they died for
mistaken idea and lost cause-but
also upon the mounds that marked the
resting places of union soldiers.
Realizing the beauty and significance
of this conception, the northern peo-
Pile did not long delay in following
the example set by the south In the
month of May, 1868, Gen. John A. Lo-
gan, then commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic, issued an order
for the observance by that organiza-
ton of May 80 as Memorial day-a
day to be set apart to the memory of
the soldiers and sailors who fell in the
war of the rebellion. This particular
day was chosen because 1t was the
date of the discharge of the last SOL
der of the civil war. 1t is now legal
holiday In all the states except ten.
Until ten years ago it was difficult
for those born since the civil war to
realize the full significance that at
taches to the day that we observe so
generally. It is true they can gather
from history all the events Of that
great struggle in which brother fought
against brother and son against ia
Their, but they can form no adequate
conception of the CONSERVATION that
pervaded the north when the capital
Itself was threatened. They cannot
grasp the import of the victory of An
tietam; of the second Bull Run; OF the
battle of Fair Oaks; of the Wilder
ness; of the flercely contested battle
and the decisive one of the war-oi
Gettysburg. in which 150, 900 men were
engaged; and scores of other battles
in which the blood of heroes stained
the soil of the south in that titanic
struggle between the states wheI
more than once the fate of the natior
trembled In the balance.
Although so many years have passed
since the war of the rebellion the
American people are not oblivious o
the debt which they owe to the mel
who fought, suffered and died tina
, the nation might live. The recurrence

was this silent, mysterious figure,

WHO are you?" asked the man.
Adam wayered a moment before he
answered The simple query blotted
out his cherished dream; perhaps it
would make the continuance of his
march impossible. But finally he
turned and answered:

was that one-third Of the advertised
