Memorial Day.

1t has become, perhaps, too common
as Memorial day approaches to remind
the public and the surviving heroes Of
the COS how fast the army of blue is
marching into the unknown Flowers
are strewn upon the graves of the dead
and statistics of mortality are as freely
flung at the heads Of the living soldiers.
Possibly the veterans are not cheered
by this sober and convincing informa-
ton, and certainly their children and
grandchildren give i hat cold enter
tainment.
A look at the other side, the living
side. of the old soldiers great day pre-
sents something Of good cheer as well
as a surprising fact that of the ex-
treme youth of the army of the Union
in those days when the life of nation
was at stake.
In decorating the graves of the dead
and in honoring the living soldiers of
'6l the whole nation renews yearly the
inspirations of patriotism. This year
there are still in the land of the living
and the country they saved more than
half a million of the heroic boys" of
'61, and we are just coming to see that
they really were boys, and boys well
worth remembering those who have
answered the last roll call and those
who are yet with us in the battles of
peace IN
