and mayhap float out to sea- but the sentiment
OF the occasion Is served
AS death has year by year remorselessfy
thinned the ranks of the Grand Army OF the
Republic, the Confederate Veterans and other or
ganizations of one-time soldiers there has OF
necessity been a change In the plan OF bearing
flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the
graves of those who have answered to the call
Of taps" The approved plan was to have In
each community the significant day a process
sion to the cemetery in which the principal par
ucipants were little girls dressed in whites each
carrying a huge bouquet basket Of flowers
and. marching beside or behind these flower
bearers. equal number Of veterans. each with
a wreath of evergreen or holly or Ivy on his
arm. When the procession arrived at the ceme-
terry the participants distributed themselves
throughout the burying ground until little girl
with flowers and veteran with a wreath stood
beside each grave marked with a tiny American
nag. Then at prearranged signal all the flowers
and wreaths were placed simultaneously upon the
graves Of the comrades whom death has mus
tered out"
This impressive ceremony. and there could be
nothing more appropriate. Is yet followed in
countless communities. but there have had to be
many notifications. For one thing the graves
to be decorated have become much more numer-.
Gus. whereas the number OF surviving veterans
who able to march to the cemetery with
their wreaths has dwndled apprecably. solu-
ton has been found. in many places. by drafting
for this task members Of the Sons of Veterans
old soldiers and also veterans of the Spanish
American war. many Of whom are comparatively
young men and who are sun1ciently numerous to
decorate the graves Of their own fallen comrades
and also the resting places of the heroes Of the
earlier
Another factor that has operated to influence
q change in the use Of flowers on Memorial day
10 the growth in the size Of many Of our cities.
In towns and small cities II is still practicable
for the Decoration day host to march to the ceme-
terry but in all the larger cities It has become very
much Of . problem. In many instances cemeteries
are remote from the central part Of the city
that It 10 unwise to ask aged veterans attempt
to march and out Of the question to allow flower
girls Of tender years to rudge through the streets
for hours at Q stretch. Consequently Il has be.
come customary under such circumstances to
convey the flowers In quantities to the cemeteries
and there distribute them to those who are to
participate in the decorating program. For this
delivery Of flowers the modern motor car has
proven q most convenient vehicle and in all our
large cities on the morning Of Memorial day one
may now see the heavily laden Flower cars"
spinning along on their way 70 the cemeteries.
The speedy horseless vehicles have also proven
. boon in the collecting Of the flowers for

Just Homes.

A gentleman never .snatches his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going through his pock-
cts. He only hopes she will 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 conjugal pastimes for
granted.

Sir Charles Was Bored.

Col. Sir Charles Hightsdale had his
regiment out for a practice march on
the road near Dublin. His command
was the shire Yeomanry, which
had suffered several overwhelming
routs in the Boar war. Meeting q
drove of pigs on the way to Dublin
market, Sir Charles considerably
halter his regiment so as to let the
pigs pass.
:Oh, come on, colonel; come on!"
cried the pigmaster, respectfully sa-
luting. Come on, yer honor. Sure.
there isn't a boar among them!"-

The causeway down which the
horsemen of forgotten kings of Khan
dawar had clattered forth to war, in
It's age-old desuetude had come to de-
cay. Between its great paving blocks
grass %sprouted. and here and there
creepers and even trees had taken
root and in the slow immutable proc

siderable masses Of stone; SO that
there were pitfalls to be avoided,
Otherwise a litter OF rubble made the
