with flowers From Dixie the pretty custom
spread to the north and took root in various
communities. However there was no general
celebration and no fixed date for the placing
of the floral tributes until in the year 1868
General Logan, then acting as commander-n-
chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, TOOK
the initiative that secured for us memorial
Day as we know it in this generation He
issued an order fixing May 80 as the date for
the annual Memorial Day exercises and called
upon every G.. A. R. post in the country to
engage in fitting ceremonial and scatter to-
kens of respect over the last resting places oil
their comrades in arms Later the legislas
lures of various states took up the project and
made the designated day legal holiday
When we appreciate the very important
part that General Logan played in the estab-
lishment of one Of the most significant holi-
days on our calendar it is easy to find signif-
canoe in the circumstance that every year
after his death there has come profusion OF
floral offerings to the chapel in the national
cemetery connected with the National Sol
diers' home at Washington, where the warrior
was laid to rest. 1t has been matter of re-
greet with some of his comrades that the ia
nous leader of the Army of the Tennessee
was not at his death honored with an elabo-
rate monumental tomb such as has been
erected over the remains Of other dominant
figures in the war for the Union.
And yet in way 1t would be difficult to
find a more fitting environment for the found
er of Memorial Day in his last dreamless
sleep. The National Soldiers home at Wash
ington was the forerunner Of those homes now
scattered all over the country and including,
Of course, the Illinois Soldiers home at Dan
vile, where General Logan, as a citizen Of ILL
nois, is always especially honored Memo
rial Day and other ceremonial occasions. The
national cemetery connected with the first OF
our national soldiers homes is much over
Swallowed in size by its neighboring national
cemetery Arlington, across the Potomac. yet
more than 5000 Federal dead are buried on
the wooded slope where General Logan was
laid to rest. Fortunately there are only about
three hundred unknown occupants OF this
silent city and all the graves-including more
than two hundred where Confederate soldiers
are buried-are decorated alike on Memorial
Day by the veterans in blue from the neigh
boring soldiers home.
Easily the most interesting of all the re
minders Of the personality and career of the
founder of Memorial Day are the relics and
trophies which for years had place in the Me-
mortal room in the residence of Mrs. John A.
Logan at Washington. Here were gathered
thousands of objects bearing in one way and
another upon the life and public service OF the
dashing Civil war leader. 1t is probable that
all thought of transferring this unique collec-

Just Hopes.

A gentleman never snatches his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers Der going through his peck
cts. He only hopes she -7ill leave him
enough with which to go downtown in
the morning. He is perfectly welcome
to go through her purse any time and
help himself to anything he can find.
That is what married life means. A
man should not allow his feelings to
be hurt when his wife runs across
loose change or roll in his pockets;
he ought to play the game and take
such little ccnjugai pastimes for
granted

quickened, being made continuous day

duces an early bloom that brings a
high price. On the other hand, cold
storage will retard growth, and SO
plants may be held back when the
market is overstocked.

chinese Educational Puzzle.

1t is generally recognized that China
has set to work at the wrong end OF
her education problem. China
has begun at the top, has tried to
establish universities without prepar-
ing students for them, and all the
lower rungs of the ladder are so
badly constructed that 1t is almost
impossible for the student to mount
by them.-National Review, Shanghai.

country can boast comparatively few memo
rails to the man who was responsible for the
creation of Memorial Day as we know it. 1t
Is not claimed that the idea Of Memorial Day
originated with Gen. John A. Logan, but GER
tainly to him belongs the credit for inaugu-
rating Decoration Day in May as definite,
fixed annual event of uniform observance in
the great majority of the states of the Union.
According to most authorities Decoration
Day in its primary form had its inception in
the south, where the presence of unusual
quantities of spring flowers and the sad cir
cumstance of the existence on every hand of
burying grounds for the soldier dead of the
Union and Confederate armies combined to
suggest such annual strewing of the graves

Mile after mile, and mile after mile, was trayersed through what was one continuous wheat field, the only relief to the scene being the roadways that led back into other settlements, where would have been repeated the same great vista of wheat
