ENMITY FORGOTTEN

Capt 5. F. Horrai tells pretty story OF an
incident during the battle of Perryville, Ky, on
October 8. 1852 Captain Horrall thus relates it:
The Forty-second regiment by overpowerng
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 army. AS our men were
retiring. Corporal Allen Gentry, of Company H.
was passing a wounded Confederate who asked
for water Though at danger risk of capture.
Corporal Gentry divided his own scanty supply
with his enemy Of half hour before They
were longer enemies. One of my own com
rades lay dying Confederate The COM
rade's thirst slaked. the canteen passed into the
hands of young Confederate. who also lay dy-
ing-the CLASSY look Of death in his eyes. He
drank the water. the last drop. then-as did the
federal soldier-laid his head to rest in the long
sleep. They drank from the same canteen.''
Another story told by Captain Horra brings
out a bit of everwecome humox in army life. He
says:

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 its COM
panion thought-Decoraton 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 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-
tions to the custom, along the lines of President
Tafts 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 eventful May so 1864, was merely following
his usual custom of devoting the late afternoon
to a c1ivc from hospital to hospital in and near
the capital in order to carry words of cheer to
the sick and wounded soldiers He was ccoom-
panied by Gen. Montgomery c. Meigs who was
at that time quartermaster 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 prepara-
tions in progress for the burial in 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
| tonal 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 spot near the his
torc mansion for these first graves and Just at
sundown simple services held as the bodies
were lowered into the graves. Since that first
informal memorial day the population Of Ameri-
cas- greatest city of the dead has increased to
more than 10000 and an average of 800. almost
all of whom are veterans of the Civil war, are
buried here every year A project is now before

suggested that there should be IN

soldiers. and that the national gov

plan, but Baker persisted in his eff
