OLD TIME, OLD FRIENDS,
OLD LOVE.

There are no days like the good old
days,
The days when we were youthful,
When humankind was pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful
Before a love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid be-
came
Slave to the tyrant fashion,
There are no girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em,
As buxom and smart and clean of
heart
As the Lord knew how to make EN-.
They We're rich in spirit and common
sense,
And piety all suppOrtin';
They would bake and brew, and had
taught school, too
And they made such likely courtin!
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When We were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the bare
brown feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the peewee sung to the summer
dawn
Of the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whippoOrwill
Echoed his night song over.
siEs sI'IMHM@ |.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave us!
We are the old, old men, yet We pine
again
For that precious grace God gave us,
So We dream and dream of the good
old times,
And our hearts grow tender, fond
er
And those dear old dreams bring
soothing CLEANS
OF the heaven away off yonder.

ENMITY FORGOTTEN

Capt S, F. Horrall tells a pretty story Of an
incident during the battle of Perryville, KY, on
October s, 1862. Captain Horrall thus relates IT:
"The Forty-second regiment, by overpowering
numbers, was compelled to surrender the ground
that had been fought over. back and forth, three
times. being held alternately by the Federals and
Confederates, thus mixing side by side the wound
ed and dead of each array. AS our men were
retiring, Corporal Allen Gentry, Of Company H,
was passing a wounded Confederate, who asked
for water. Though at danger or risk of capture,
Corporal Gentry divided his own scanty supply
with his enemy OF half an hour before. They
were no longer enemies. One of my own cam
rades lay dying near a Confederate. The COM
rades thirst slaked, the canteen passed into the
hands of a young Confederate, who also lay dy-
ing-the CLASSY look Of death n. his eyes. He

unpretentious amphitheater and rostrum-and
when this is done the new edifce, seating 5000
persons, will provide a setting for the annual

Andrew c. Curtin, the war governor Of Penn
sylvania, has often been given credit for origina-
ting the idea Of the national cemeteries, out of
which in turn came the proposal for an annual
memorial day. However, the claim in behalf of
the executive of the keystone state is disputed
and much evidence has been presented from time
to time in support of the contention that the
honor in reality belongs to Thomas Brougham
Baker, who was at the time of his death a few
years ago a clerk in the quartermaster's office at
Chicago.

Some years ago the proprietor of a
hotel in southern New Hampshire told
the following story: He said that
when he was a boy he had occasion
to go into the garnet of his house one
morning and that the family cat fol-
lowed him up the stairs. One of the
windows was open, and when they en-
tered the garnet a frightened mouse
jumped out of the window, and the
cat. jumping after 1t, caught it in mid
air and, whirling round, jumped back
again into the same window.

the size OF an ordinary tablecloth. When ChRtta-
noogs, Tenn, was besieged by the Confederates
the Union army was lined beyond rifle range. The
height of our enemy precluded the possibility of
doing much damage TO them. either by artillery
or small arms, but by artillery the enemy BON
barded the entire federal lines. Now, the tents
were open at both ends. 80 it happened one day
that a 2o-pound shell was thrown by the enemy
and. entering the tent of a comrade, exploded,
blowing the tent tree-top high, earth and all. Two
boys in blue were hard by. one the owner of the
tent and the other said:

rial day was in effect for a purpose kindred to
that perpetuated by the Memorial day institution.
He journeyed to the scene of the decisive battle
of the war for the Union in order to dedicate the
first national cemetery, pioneer of scores of SINH
lar shrines. How closely linked are the institu-
tons Of Memorial day and the countrywide
Gordon of national cemeteries is not generally
appreciated. Without the one we would not have
had the other and indeed it was from the national
cemetery idea that there was evolved it's COM
panion thought-Decoration day.
1t was in 1863 that President Lincoln formally
opened the first national cemetery and the fol-
lowing year-on this occasion the May 80 date
that has ever since been observed-he informally
opened the second of the national cemeteries,
that at Arlington on the Potomac, which has
since attained to first rank among all the national
burying grounds in point of size and in number
of graves. 1t is at Arlington, it may be men
toned incidentally, that the president of the
United States usually delivers his Memorial day
address, but there have been numerous excep-
lions to the custom, along the lines of President
Taft's chosen plan for his first presidential recog.
milton of Memorial day.
There was nothing prearranged about that
first observance of Memorial day in our second
Oldest national cemetery. President Lincoln on
that e~ventful May sc, 1864. was merely following
his usual custom of devoting the late afternoon
to a drive from hospital to hospital in and near
the capital in order to carry words of cheer to
the sick and wounded soldiers. He was accom-
panied by Gen. Montgomery c.. Meigs. who was
at that time q~uartermaster general Of the army.
1t was late in the afternoon when they reached
the old Robert e. Lee mansion at Arlington, the
last of the improvised hospitals which they had
planned to visit that day. Upon their arrival at
Arlington the presidential party found prepare
tions in progress for the burial in a distant and
already overcrowded cemetery of twelve Union
and Confederate soldiers who had answered their
last roll call at the hospital.
The matter of instituting a second great ma
tional cemetery was then and there hurriedly
given consideration and General Meigs. with the
sanction of the president, issued the order that
the dead awaiting burial should be inferred in
Arlington. He designated a spot near the his

the pioneer. Baker, the originator OF the cemetery
idea, was one of the men chosen to lay out the
initial cemetery. Not only that, but Baker con-
Quoted the first funeral in this first national Gene
terry and was in personal charge OF all the cernete-
rial and mortuary records of the army up to 1869.
From this modest beginning the national cemetery
idea spread until there are now SO national GENE
teries, with total burials Of more than $4,000 sol
diers, of which number 100000 are unknown.
Gen. John A. Logan is usually given credit for
having suggested the observance of Memorial day
in it's present form. Nowhere is there more i'm
pressive celebration of each recurring memorial
day than in the national cemeteries-located in
80 states and territories and in Old Mexico-even
though some of them be situated in localities
remote from large towns or cities and none too
accessible. Particularly notable and interesting
are the ceremonies where the national cemeteries
are located in the vicinity of state or national sol.
diers' homes. making it possible for the old vet
Grams to themselves pay tribute to the comrades
who have preceded them to the last camp ground.

with a small basketful of red peppers,
of which she was eating one. His ia
Their was about to say: "She thinks
she is very smart" as the son called
his attention to it. The boy spoke up
quickly, knowing what was to be said:
"Pa, would those red peppers make
you smart If you eat all Of them?' His
father replied: yes, son."

1t is anything unusual for the chief
executive to spend this May day Of
memories in one of another of the
silent camp grounds of the nations
fallen soldiery. On the contrary, the
custom observed by practically ev-
cry president since the Civil war has
made it almost an unWritten law
