SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE DAY

must never be forgotten that the men
who upheld the standard of the Con-
federacy were as deeply and as genu-
inely stirred by patriotic impulse as
the men who were enrolled beneath
the Stars and Stripes. And In the
background, on either hand, the wom-
en- who waited and worked and prayed
and endured (Which was harder than
to go to war; believed with an equal
faith in the heroes who went forth to
represent them. For every prayer
that went to God from the heart and
soul Of northern woman for a hus-
band or lover, the pure and fervent
petition of her sister in the south
arose to Heaven, until, living or dead,
her warrior came back to her.
Today 1t is almost forgotten which
side 1t was that fought in vain, which
/ side 1t was that won the victory.

has obliterated all but the immemorial
beauty of the sacrifice. All that is
known is that some of the soldiers
most Of them-are sleeping till the
last reveille sounds. where. above
thousands Of grass-grown mounds, the
flowers are reverently laid and the
flags are placed by the tr bling
hands of the survivors. And those sur.
vivors who follow to the churches and
the graveyards the fife and drum, as
once they followed them where bullets
were flying. bring alive the pages of a
glorious chapter in our history. There
could have been no such common love
of our common country II there had
been no civil war.

What Soldiers Liked.

No matter how serious the situation
nor how near to death the soldiers
were, they were always able to ex.
change few Jokes and to see the
comic side of life. As evidence It is
related that while in camp at Mem.
phis. Tenn, great flood came on and
the camp Of the Union soldiers was
put very largely under water. It was
the custom Of the soldiers to dig large
holes in the ground. for disposal of
the waste from the camp. and these
were covered over, but at the time OF
the food the water prevented the
passerby from seeing the covering. It
was Just at this time that DR.. David
Evans, whose home was at Boston, be-
low Richmond. and who was a sur.
geon. made his appearance in a hand.
some new suit Of clothes and went out
to visit q certain portion of the camp.
In doing 80 he unfortunately landed
on top Of one of the waste pits. with
the result that he fell through, his
new clothes were ruined and he had
to stand for . great deal Of Joking.

WiIIino to Paw for Hammer.

When the British square at the bat
tie Of Abu Klea, in the Nubian des-
ert. was penetrated by the dervishes,
one of them attempted to spear gun
ner who was in the act of ramming
home charge. The Briton Drained
the Sudanese, but the hammer head
split on the mans hard skull. Next day
the gunner was sent for. Mistaking
the reason, and knowing from expert
ence that soldiers are charged for
government property which they
break, he led off with: Please, sir,
I'm very sorry l broke the hammer.
but l never thought the fellows head
could be so hard. I'll pay for the
