WALT MASON.

HENRY BROWER-The sign-paint-
ing business was bad in England and
the climate kept me shivering all the
time. yearned for the poi and poetry
of Hawaii and so 1 came back. It's
too warm for me in Honolulu and
shall go to Hawaii next week where
it's cooler. On second thought old
England's not such bad place after
all.
BRUCE CARTWRIGHT know
something about Mexico and can tell
you that the hatred there Of Americans
is intense. 1t even cropped out in
a house where a gentleman I know
was being entertained. They thought
he was from London and made much
of him but the moment they learned
he was an American they all cooled off
and he had to leave.
OFFICER CARTER-The marine,
Moore, who attacked me when the Yea
landia was sailing, is one of the men
whom | arrested as a deserter after
he and a companion had stolen a Jap.
anese sampan with which to get away.
He told me he would kill me someday.
After the Zealandia incident he re-.
marked, quite cheerfully, that this was
our second meeting and that there
would be third. He thinks l got the
reward for his capture as a deserter,
but | didn't. The Japanese who re-
covered the sampan were his captors.
OTTO Something ought
to be done to keep the Hotel and Fort
street corner clear of loafers after
dark. 1t is difficult to make the turn
unless one pushes through the crowd
or steps into the street. There is gen.
orally policeman there but he ap
pears to be the leader of the argument
The whole block is in rotten condi-
ton as far as loafers and hangers-on
are concerned and the same old faces
may be seen at the slme old place at
1920 p. m. as were seen three hours
earlier. 1t is getting so that ladies at
tending the moving picture shows ride
to the door OF the theater rather than
run the gauntlet of remark and err
ticism which they are exposed to if
they walk along Hotel street.

Spring Time Chosen.

General Logan suggested that May
30 be made the date for the observ
ance of Memorial day, his idea being
that at that date spring flowers could
be procured lin profusion, even in the
most northern states and in New Eng
land There were several conferences
on the subject between General Logan
and General Chapman.
1t is related that General Logan was
so enthused with the idea of a general
Memorial day that he added several
paragraphs to the draft of the order
drawn by General Chapman, which in
the history of the Grand Army of the
Republic is known as general order
No. IL.
At first the wisdom of General Lo-
gan's order was doubted by many per-
sons, who urged as an argument that
the setting aside of a Memorial day
would unnecessarily keep alive men,
cries of the war and foster enmities.
However, the objections were not
strong enough, and the first Memorial
day was generally observed, even by
posts that had been instituted in the
south.
In Washington the first Memorial
day was observed by appropriate serv.
ices in Arlington cemetery. Feeling
still ran high at the capital then, but
a great crowd went to Arlington. Gen
eral James A. Garfield, who later be-
came president, was the orator of the
day. President Johnson was present,
and others who attended the ceremo-
MES included General Grant, General
w. S. Hancock, General o. o. Howard
and General El1in.

rial day; to General John A. Logan, SOL
dier-statesman and third commander
in chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, and to Norton p. Chapman, ad-
iutant general of the national organi-
cation, belongs the honor of promul.
eating the first order.
In the original orders issued from
the Grand Army headquarters by Cen
eral Logan, May 80 was designated as
what has since been termed Memorial
day. The order was issued early in
May, 1868, and since that time May 30
has become a holiday and is observed
by every Grand Army post in the
Union
General Logan's order, setting May
30 as Memorial day, was eagerly car
ried out, and the first observance of
the day was widespread.
General Logan was elected COM
mander in chief at an encampment held
in Philadelphia in January, 1868. lie
established headquarters in Washing
ton.
Early in May of that year Adjutant
General Chapman received a letter
from a member of a Cincinnati post in
which the first suggestion for Memo
rial day was made. General Chapman
who is living in California, does not
remember the name of the writer who
described himself as a German who
had served as a private in the Union
army. This soldier wrote that lin his
native country it was custom of the
people to assemble in the spring and
scatter flowers on the graves of the
dead.
would it not be a good idea to have
the Grand Army of the Republic in.
augurate such an idea and set aside a
day in spring in memory of the Union
dead?" he wrote.
General Chapman regarded the sug.
gestion most favorably, and according
" he drew up a rough draft of gen
eral order carrying the suggestion into
effect. This he laid before General
Logan, who heartily approved of the
idea.

away with his mothers picture and
the Bible his father had given him.
After that he always stopped in to
see little Sue when he went into

hers his excuse. She greeted him al
ways without self-consciousnes and
seemed to put him on a basis Of
friendship which made it impossible
to talk of love.
But the day came when Sandy per-

Sue of his own loneliness. at doesn't
