by the city to work for his broth
er Tom, head of the Mcclure de-
tective agency, was told about it.
Mcclure arrested Frame and
charged him with the theft of the
SIS.
In court Frame defended him
self vigorously. He explained
the Rothschild's system and said
that it was impossible to trace
mistakes or money.
Mcclure jumped up and de-
clared that Frame was a crook,
that he, Mcclure, by intuition
presumably, knew that he had
stolen the SIS, and that Frame
ought to be sent over the road for
a stiff term. He produced no proof
either of Frames general crook
edness nor of his stealing the SIS.
After listening to Mcclure,

c. A. r. VETERANS DECORATE
DEPARTED SOLDIERS GRAVES.


Not many people noticed the small
group of old men that marched from
the postofflce this afternoon to Elm
wood cemetery. There was no sound
of the fife and drum, which marked
this occasion in former years. The
men seemed older and more bent and
their step was less firm than in days
gone by.
These men are veterans Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, who
marched to the cemetery in the heat
Of the day, to lay flowers upon the
graves of those who died fighting for
what they thought vas right. These
men were fighting for ar ideal, a I'm
ion, which they held to be sacred
and immortal, and those old veterans
who still remain and are able
march forth each year to show their
love and respect for their fellow-vete
ans who have passed into the great
beyond. This is a great and noble
act, for 1t is with difficulty that most
of the grizzled veterans Of many bat
ties can walk to the cemetery and
return. No longer have they that pow
er of endurance, which kept them
moving throughout the War. Years Of
age have bent their backs and weak
ened their limbs and turned their
hair gray. 1t is only out of the
greatness of their heart and the love
they have for those who have died
that they lay flowers on The graves
each year.
Cannot one imagine that in the
far years men may have forgotten
the War and still pile the places OF
graves high with flowers?
For the soul Of fierce striving may
be virtue and patriotism and love
and forgiveness-its Immortality
well symbolized in flowers when the
body that was the striving has pass-
ed from remembrance.

MEXICO MAN PAYS FOR AN
OTHERS MARRIAGE LlcEN'

The st. Louis Times says: Jus.
tice Fred Knoop OF 81. Charles had
a narrow escape from heart failure
Tuesday Afternoon when he opened his
mail and found a 81 bill, together
with a request that he forward the
the marriage certificate of Sam Y.
Dixon and Laura E. Adams to Mex
leo.
The Judge looked UP his records
and found he had performed the cere'
mony for the couple who gave their
address as Lincoln county, on Nov. "a
1901, nearly ~ years ago. He then
recalled the incident. After he per
formed the ceremony for the
couple the groom, who was then en-
ployed in the st. Charles IA works,
asked him to hold the marriage certif
lcate as security until he could
raise the necessary 81 to pay the fee.
He had long ago forgotten the incl
dent The money was accepted by
the Judge and the certificate forward
ed as directed.
This money was paid by E. e. Fore
man of Mexico, claim agent Of the
Chicago and Alton Railroad.
Judge Knoop explained that Fore
uan called on him a month ago and
asked If he had officiated at the we'd
ding, and he was shown the marriage
certificate of Judge Knoop, by
request of the bridegroom held al Sc
curity until he could spare 81. JUS
tice Knoop long since had despaired,
of getting the fee and retained the
certificate as a souyneir to show 9th
err couples short of money, how fool
ish it was for him to give credit. Mr..
Foreman said he would have Dixon
pay the fee, and he did.
