Vets" Spoke to School Children.

Vets" Spoke to School Children.
AS has been the custom for several
years past some of the members of
the R. H. Carr Post spoke to the
students of the Bemidji schools yes
terday afternoon.
Commander H. w. Bailey
addressed the children in the Mayer
building, the scholars from the four
rooms being assembled in two rooms
to hear his address. He spoke along
patriotic lines, and his talk was
greatly enjoyed by the children.
Comrades Martin, Fuller, Barrett
and Phillippi of the R. H Carr post
and Comrade Ludington of Abel,
Iowa, visited all the rooms IN the
Central school building except those
occupied by the high school and the
eighth grade, where the students
were taking state examinations.
The Comrades addressed the
scholars in a feeling manner and all
the speeches were very we'll received.

Grand Army post decided, at its last
meeting, to observe Monday for
Decoration Day purposes.
c. w. Stanton of this city, Judge
of the Fifteenth Judicial district,
will deliver the Grafton at the city
opera house in the afternoon.
Every person in Bemidji, regard :
less of what nationality, pursuit or
calling, should join in making the
observance of Memorial Day, Mon
day, an enjoyable one to the old
veterans of the C. A. r. and the
ladies of the Circle.
The time is drawing near when the
boys in blue" who fought so nobly
for the country, will have answered
the final bugle call and while they
are still with US we, as staunch citi-
ZenS OF the republic. should give
them every assistance possible to
brighten their path on their last
milestone.
By special request of the G. A. R.
the local management of the ball
team decided not to play any games
either on Sunday or Monday, there
being a sentiment among the old
soldiers that sports Of any kind
should be eliminated from the
Decoration Day program.
The following official orders con-
corning the observance of Decora.

There are unknown graves in the valleys
That the troops of war possessed,
Where the bugles sounded for rallies
But the bullets sang of rest;
And the mountains hold without number
Hidden graves from wars mad day,
Where the unknown men have their slumber
In their shrouds of blue and gray.
And no drums will rumble and rattle,
And no flies blow sharp and shrlll
In the valleys that knew the battle
Nor atop the lone, high hill;
But the silent stars know the story
And the broad sky of the day
Bends and whispers low their glory
To these men of blue and gray.
And no banners DER them are waving,
No marchers come and pause
With cheers for the land of their saving
Or tears for their lost cause;
Yet the twilight stars intermingle
With the hues when ends the day.
And the striving flags now are single
Ger the men of blue and gray.
There are unknown graves in the thickets,
On the hillside and the plain,
Of the missing scouts and the pickets,
Yet they did not fall in vain.
Though their names may not be engraven
And the places in the fray,
In our hearts now each finds haven
They who wore the blue and the gray.

For the God of battle is kindly
With none of mankinds hate
That is cherished ever too blindly-
And these pawns of warfare's fate
Have their tombs of natures splendor
Each set forth in proud array
Through an impulse holy and tender,
Though they wore the blue and gray
Where once were the guns that wrangled
Sounds the peace song of the thrush,
And the roses and vines are tangled
In the solemn, sacred hush;
Where the cannon one day would hurtle
Their missiles in the fray
Grows the rue and the creeping myrtle
Der the graves of the blue and gray.
They are natures hands that are strewing
The flowers on each mound;
It is Gods own beautiful doing
That each unknown grave is found
Where the cypress leaves are aquiver,
Where mountains lift through the day,
