.Wanted war TO Go On.

Wanted War to Go On.
During the civil war in car on a
railroad which runs into New York
dramatic scene was enacted. A per-
con dressed as gentleman, speaking
to q friend across the car, said:
We'll. hope the war may last six
months longer. II it does shall have
made enough money to retire from
business. In the last six months I've
made 100000. Six months more and
shall have enough"
4 lady sat behind the speaker and
necessarily heard his remarks. When
be had finished speaking she tapped
him on the shoulder and said:
Sir. had two sons. One was Killed
at the battle Of fredericksburg, and
the other was killed at the battle OF
MurfreesbOro."
She was silent for q moment, and so
were all around who heard her. Then,
overcome by her indignation, she sud
denly slapped the Spectator, first on
one cheek md then on the other. Be-,
fore the fellow could say \ word the
passengers sitting near who had Wit
nesaed the whole affair seized him and
pushed him from the car.

Suspect Austrian of Robbing.

Cass Lake, May 29.-S6ecial.-
The post Office at Farris, located on
the Great Northern five miles west
of Cass Lake was broken into and
robbed Wednesday night of all the
stamps and money in the Office be-
sides several other articles. En-
trance was gained through a rear
window. Suspicion pointed to an
Austrian and heavy set man who
looked the part of a hobo who were
seen hanging around town all day
previous. Early this morning tracks
were traced for about mile towards
Cass Lake when all trace was lost.
The authorities at Walker, Bemidji
and several other nearby towns have
been notified

PEACE.

Oh. draw aside the drapery Of gloom
And let the sunshine chase the
clouds away
And gid with brighter glory every
tomb a.. ~
We decorate today,
And in the holy silence reigning
round,
While prayers of perfume bless
the atmosphere
Where loyal souls Of love and faith
are found.
Thank God that peace IL here!
And let each angry impulse that
may start
Be smothered out of every loyal
breast.
And. rocked within the cradle of
the heart,
Let every sorrow rest.

A SOLDIERS GRAVE.
By ALICE e. ALLEN

4 LITTLE old forgotten cemetery
Where sunlight softly streams,
Where birds and bees and blooms Of
May make merry
And winds are sweet with dreams,
A few old fashioned monuments half
broken,
Around which grasses wave,
No other sign Of memory or token
BY which to mark grave,
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1912-05-30

In the isles of many sea,
On the mainland broad and free.
Where'er soldiers grave is found.
With sweet blossoms wreathe it round.
For here no scepter is nor throne
Hero no tyrant rule is known.
Tell 1t so the world may know
What today we surely owe
To the heroes of the past.
May their sacred offering last
In the memories that survive,
In freedoms name they kept alive.
And down the serried years to come,
Haloed be their martyrdom!

~ From tower and steeple give them
sway
On whose bosom shine the stars
Let freedoms flag the kiss of May
Feel in all it's folds today.
In state and town. in port and bay,
Fling the nations colors out
Let the bands of music play
And pensive strains float all about
While speech and song and flowers gay
Come to crown Memorial day.

Sun, Sky and Wind Combine to Make
the Weather Conditions Glori-
iously Pefect.
CEREMONIES ARE IMPRESSIVE.
Memorial Exercises Held Both in
City Hall and at Cemetery
Were Moving.


with hearts beating as true today as
fifty years ago, the Bemidji veterans
of the Grand Army of the Republic
marched the block from the Post
rooms to the city hall at $40 a. m.
today. In a file behind them came
their ladies, the women who had
been left to care for the homes while
the men went to the front and who
now share Memorial Day equally
with their husbands and brothers.
Automobiles driven by members of
the Automobile club were in wait
ing and while the Bemidji band
played patriotic airs, the veterans
and ladies were seated. At 10 o'clock
the band moved to Fifth street where
it formed an open lane through
which the line of autos passed on it's
way to the cemetery.
At the cemetery brief, but impress
sive exercises were held. The old
soldiers lined up by the side of the
road and then marched into the GEM
|etery.. Once inside, they opened ranks
and the ladies marched down the
lane thus formed. There was a pray
er by the chaplain and a reading by
Commander Smith before w. B. Ste
wart stepped forward to read an ad-
dress written by the late Judge H..
w. Bailey. .4... -.
Eleven years ago, the judge himself
stood before the veterans and gave
his address. It was short and to the
point but reflected strongly the char
|acter of the late veteran While it
was being read this, morning, the
large number of people present in
the cemetery listened attentively and
many seemed to actually hear the
voice of the judge again speaking
to them.
Miss Dorothy Clark read "Cover
Them Over" an ode to the dead vet
Grams written by Will Carlton. Then
someone started "America" and it
was taken up by the crowd. After
the singing, the ladies decorated
graves with flowers and the autos
returned to town with their loads.
At noon, the flags of the city were
returned to full mast. .-s :
At noon, a lunch was served in
the Post rooms and in the afternoon
services were held in the city hall at
which E. E.. Mcdonald gave the adj
dress. The program was opened by
band music and then Commander
Smith read the orders of the day.
Following song and a prayer by
Chaplain Martin, Adjutant Fuller
called the roll of the deadf
Professor Stewart read Lincoln's
famous Gettysburg speech of "Four
score and seven years ago, our ia
theirs brought forth upon this CONT
nent a new nation He was follow
ed by Mrs H. w. Bailey and Mr.. Nc
Donald. The exercises closed with
marching Through Georgia" and an
invocation by Chaplain Martin.
This evening at 8 p. m. the Be-
midi band will play concert in the
band stand on the city dock At the
close of the concert, Director Rem
frey will play Taps as the closing
event of Memorial Day.
