THOUGHTS ON MEMORIAL DAY

Streeter, n. D., May 26.-To The Fo-
rum: History tells us OF an incident
that occurred May 81, following the. fall
of Fort Sumpter. A lacy from Iowa.
and the wife of an army chaplain,
went into the cemetery at Arlington
Heights and with becoming reverence
placed clusters or flowers upon the
graves OF the nations de:d. The nGxt
year on May 80, larger number of
our people assempled in the various
cemeteries of our land, and paid an
other tribute of love to those brave
men, who gave their lives for the
grandest flag that ever dimmed the
lustre of national sky This solemn
and impressive ceremony continued
until 1858 when congress set apart
May 30 for Memorial day. The name
Memorial seems appropriate. It re-
minds us of something that has al
ready occurred. All thoughtful people
will inquire why this Memorial day.
BY 1t we learn that popular govern
ment was not an accident. The bless
ings and liberties we enjoy today be-
came our heritage by mighty effort
and sacrifice of those Tho obeyed
their country's call.
The men who fell at Bunker Hill.
Lexington, Antietum, and Gettysburg
are blended in one common. sacrifice
The axiom that all things valuable
are purchased at fearful cost holds
good in regard to our country. The
rattle of musketry at Bunker Hill, the
flashing sabre at Antietum, and the
red glare of the cannon at Gettys-
burg were the mighty agencies that
secured to us the best systems of
government even given to man.
1t is not my purpose to write at
length upon subject that has en-
gagged the best thoughts of life. Let
US be thankful that the thoughtful
men, north or south, have accepted
the results Of a terrible conflict and
our country is united as never before
in our history No Mason and Dixon
line divides Us today. The blue and
the grey will march together on May
80, and with united reverence deco
rate the graves OF the nations dead.
Time, the mighty healer, has done it's
work. The word rebel is very sell
T dom used today. Peace has dawned
upon Us In earnest. The sword is rust
ing In Its scabbard and the birds are
nesting in the m~=zle of the cannon
that thundered forth the echoes of
liberty in the dark days Of the war.
While we are laying our respects to
our known dead. let US not forget
those who sleep In unknown graves.
Many OF our brave men were buried
in strange land and the night winds
sigh over their lonely tomb Nature
has carpeted their resting place with
green, and beautiful wild Mowers have
decorated their graves, which like the
grave OF Moses. is known only TO God
and the holy angles. But thanks 10
God the nag for which they died rfoats
over united country. Let us believe
that the spirits OF those brave men
have returned TO the source from
whence they came; let us believe that
He who is always prodigal in his gifts
to man will not suffer those brave
men to pass into oblivion. But in the
springtime of the sweet by and by,
the great commander will get them all
in line and answer the roll call on the
distant shore. Neil McEwen.

MARRIAGE SECRET 4 YEARS.
Couple Lived Apart and Cared 70

Relatives Until Recently.
Milan, NO. May 2s.-The marriage
Of Lorton p. Johnson and Miss Alice
Crump, both of Greencastle, on Oct.
25, 1904, was announced today by Rev.
w. e. Royston, pastor Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at Greencastle.
The couple we're visiting the worlds
fair in st. Louis at the time.
The marriage has been a secret for
more than four years, and no one has
been disposed to guess it, as the cou-
pie have lived apart during the entire
time.
The reason they give is that Mrs.
Johnson's sister was in poor health
and could not be left, and Mr.. John
son was the only one to take care of
his mother, who mad been in poor
health, until her death recently.
Since Mr.. Johnson's mother is dead
and the sister that Mrs. Johnson nurs-
ed has recovered, they felt that they
could announce their marriage. Mr..

some sea- born butterflies. They were
originally concealed in the buds OF
several hyacinths, that were taken
aboard the liner at Hamburg and put
into the new palm room of the restau-

long we have got to wait before we
acquire that indescribable something
which at present l can only liken to
the exqisite color and perfume of a
piece of rare lace which has been put
away for years, carefully wrapped in
lavender. The two most expensive pic
lures in the gallery are Raphaels Holy
Family" which represents the Virgin in
a wonderful blue robe, such blue, my
dear, seated on a high, queer kind of
seat, holding the Holy Child, with St
John and some other saint in the fore
ground. 1t cost $4,000 pounds, or
100000, which in American eyes looks
like pile of money to pay for one
picture. The other is that Dutch Queen,
L have forgotten her name, by Holbein.
There was lot in the papers about it
some time ago, you remember. This
is all in black and white and very strik
ing. 1t was owned by an English noble
man, who loaned it to the gallery for
80 years. Then, for some reason. he or
his heirs sold it to picture dealer,
from whom it was bought last Spring,
think, for $40, 900, of which sum the
Government contributed $4,000, and
the rest was raised by subscription. I'm
agine our people contributing money to
buy picture for one of our galleries!
At the end of two hours Elizabeth
ruthlessly tore me away from. the pic
lures, and we took a taxy for the old
Fleet street restaurant where DR.. john
son was wont to eat his beefsteak pud-
ding and drink his good old English
ale. l say this because it sounds like
the proper thing to say; but, as mat
ter of fact, understand that this great
man was a strict teetotaler. The taxy
put US down at funny little alley,
scarcely more than a goodsized crack
between buildings. and friendly finger
on a signboard showed US the way to
go. We found a curious old wooden
building, with a rather small room,
sand-covered floor, and three or four
long tables on each side, before which
were high-backed benches. At the ex-
treme end of the last table on the right
side, facing the door, was DR.. Johnson's
seat, occupied, when we entered, by one
most unworthy to fill it, fear, judging
from his extremely red nose and gen
eral bum" air. The famous beefsteak
pudding is still served in this restau-
rant certain days in the week. and on

those occasions the old place is crowd
ed. Fearing this, we had come early
too early we discovered from the savory
odors which greeted us and which spoke
eloquently of the pudding still stewing
in its delicious gravy, every moment
rendered more tender and toothSOme
and better worthy of its great renown.
There was nothing for us to do but to
wait, and to kill time we assembled the
rickcty little narrow stairway which led
TO the room above where are kept GER
tain Johnson relics. Here we saw a
copy of the original edition of the Die
ttonary. the Old china used in his day
and the chair he used to sit in, a very
goOd-siZed wooden armchair. There
were some other things, but I've forgot
ten them.
AS the hour approached for serving
the pudding-12:30, / believe-all the
benches filed up. and promptly on the
minute ii was brought in with consid-
cradle ceremony-an enormous meat
pie. we should call it-and put on
table before which stood the High
Priest. With his knife and spoon he
served the company, and il was with
almost childish impatience that we
awaited our turn. The famous pudding
contained potatoes and mushrooms, be-
sides the beef, and was very spicy. 1t
was pretty good, but both Elizabeth
and ] were disappointed; we didn't like
the spice. With ii was served bread
and, / think, cold slaw salad, and YOU

Editor National Tribune: Reading
the other day of the destruction by fire
of Malvern Hill Mansion, in Virginia,
called to my mind the incident 1 am
now relating. 1t happened on the day
the battle of Malvern Hill was fought
the last of the series of the Seven Days
in 1862. Previous to the battle l passed
the mansion. and, spying a big turkey,
confiscated it. After walking some
distance l was accosted by some soldier
of another command. He offered me n
dollar for my find" 1 refused him,
and was about to pass him when he said
turkeys were not good to eat this time
of the year Gt was in June). That set
tied it, and l let him have it and took
his gold dollar. All at once it struck
me that l had done a very silly thing,
for if turkeys were not good eating why
did he want it? He had turkey that
night, and i had hardtack for mine. ]

SDOOl-Making.

An illustration of how big even the
smallest things become in this day of
concentration and wider markets is the
spool industry. This business is peculiar
to the New England States. and is CEN
tered in Maine, from which nearly all
the spools and spool timber are OBJ
tanned. Only the white birch is suit
able for making spools, and the supply
of this is running dangerously low, so
that people are looking out for substi-
tutes. The spool factories in Maine
turn out S00,000,000 spools annually,
with market value of about s1,000,-
600. The wood is cut in bars from one
half inch to two and nine-siXteenths
inches square, and from two and one
fourth to four feet long. These bars
must be absolutely clear. They are cut
in Winter in small portable mills oper-
ating near some railroad line. After
saving the bars are piled criss-cross,
in order to season well, and allowd to
season until June. Immense quantities
are exported to the thread mills in Scot
land and England.
