THE EN0-WHEN?
Then as more years come and so the
civil war and its heroes who live to-
day will become mere memories, as
are the heroes Of the Revolutionary
war. Time will have drawn its cur
tain over the greatest war in history.
so far as living reminders are con-

But that time has not come yet. 1t
will not come for number of years.
While Memorial day, 1912. will find
the veterans greatly diminished in
numbers, there are some 100000 Union
survivors alive today and upward or
200 900 Confederate survivors. But the
average age of these men is more than
