PROVERBS BROUGHT TO DATE
Unlike Those Generally Known, but
Containing a Great Deal of
Real Truth.

A man with small feed hideth them
not, and she whose hands are well
formed delighteth to play chess.
Why doth the virgin rejoice? Why
readeth she her love letters to her
sisters? Behold, there is a compliment
therein, and it shall not be concealed.
Enthusiastic is women's praise of a
passable damsel; yea, they lift up
their voice continually, saying, Lo, she
hath fine eyes. But when she who
dazzleth mems sight approached, be-
hold their tongues are hushed, they
whisper to one another in their con-
fusion, confessing her loneliness.
AS a man with his first automobile,
so Is an old wife with a young hus-
band; she is fond, yet fearful.
The shop damsel extolleth her
wares, saying, Lo, l myself wear this
kind. And the customer smileth Bit
terly, and turneth away.
To a clever woman, a man without
audacity is a WEAKNESS to the spirit;
and as for the timid n who obeyeth
her, 10, she sendeth him upon errands.

the first marked instance of a large
movement to honor the dead who had
fallen in battle may be said to have
been sounded at Gettysburg, when, on
November 10, 1863, the national GENE
terry there, on the field where thou
sands had fallen on both sides, was
formally dedicated.
That occasion was n of those sim
pie events which few of those present
looked upon as anything more than a
mere formality, but which have in them
the seeds of a great popular movement.
There, too, was delivered that address
by President Lincoln which, for its con
else summing up of an entire epic,
which the times of strife were still pro-
yiding with incidents, remains I'M
equaled in it's quiet majesty, its simple
language, in the whole range of Eng
lish literature.
The shouts of joy at the surrender
CT Lee had scracely been lost On the
winds until the news of the assassina-
ton of Lincoln spread dismay through
out the nation, south as well as north.
The funeral services over the martyred
president, and the professions and the
lyi~ngs-in-state in the cities through
which the funeral train was taken,
aroused in a new n the idea OF
tribute to the fallen. In a certain
sense the death Of Lincoln at that
time may have fastened the sentiment
which finally took shape in Decoration
day. There Immediately were projects
for monuments to the great emanci
pator, and the general tendency was
towards the debt owed to the faller
soldier and his best friend.

SPLENDID Work Of Grand Army,

To its members the Grand Army Of
the Republic Is a matter second only
to family and friends. They accord
1t the same loyalty and devotion that
they did to the regiments in which
they once fought. 1t stands for their
record, for their past, and In that is
its strength.
1t was organized in Decatur, Ill in
the interests of the surviving repre-
sentatives Of the federal military and
naval forces of the Civil war, the fam
lilies of those dead and such objects as
they should deem important to their
association. The membership COM
prises soldiers and sailors of the war,
honorably discharged or continuing,
and state militia on active duty sub
ject to call during the war. Its pur
poses are fraternity, the commemor
alton Of events and the assistance Of
old soldiers and their families. 1t has
been active In establishing homes and
memorials and in educating and sup
porting the orphans Of soldiers.

ceremonies will show tnat IL merely
is an adaptation Of a custom mat Is
80 old that it's origin is lost in the
misty mast The custom as we now
have It. as is very readily understood
and recognized, is new; 1t did not eA-
lat before the Civil war period. And
vet, after all, this modern holiday is
but the general acceptance OF an OLD
idea.
How lone ago it has been customary
to strew flowers over the graves OF the
dead may not be asserted with n
degree of certainty. From the earliest
times of civilization 1t has been Gus
tomary to pay tribute to the dead,
whether fallen in battle or died In
peace. There is something about the
custom that is i~nseparable from the
practices of civilization.
Our decoration day, or Memorial
day, as 1t is customary now to call 1t,
was only the result of the spontaneous
desire to pay tribute to the thousands
Of brave men who fell in the great
| Civil war. There was something ex-
t~raordinary which called forth this
spirit-a something that the present
generation may find difficult to thor
oughiy comprehend and appreciate at
its true value.
A four-years' war had kept the ma
ton, both north and south, in a state
OF commotion and excitement. The
wholo country, both north and south
had contributed its young men, Its
youths, and even many Of it's men Of
maturer years to the terrible struggle
1t is not difficult to understand Just
what that means, Here was a de
termined war that had sent to theii
graves brave men from every part o.
the country. That meant that In ever,
large town and in many a village there
were man who went to the front wht
never returned; many who did retuIe
only TO soon be borne to their grave
at home.

NATIONS TRIBUTE
Decoration Day in the United
States Sprang From Spon-
taneous Desire to Do
Honor to the Heroes
Who Had Fallen

~
The country was affected by the
| sight. SO many men were caught in
the enormous bloody strife, in this
Moloch's nav, that nearly all who re-
manned could point to the grave of n
that had fallen, who was either a rela-
tive or a dear friend.
The cost of that struggle to keep
the Union has, indeed, been put in dol
lars, but the real cost, the lives fost
on both sides, places the sacrifice In
another light, and cannot be estimated,
for the sufferers were not only the
fallen ones, but those who remained at
home and suffered, too.
The south, naturally, was most Sc
verely shaken, and suffered the great
est loss, for the scene of the carnage
and of the greater part of the destruc-
ton of both lives and property lay
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
Therefore it seems to have been poetic
justice that there, in the south,
the first steps should be taken to an
nually pay tribute to her fallen sons,
who, 1t must be remembered, also were
brave men, and where there were, too,
homes rendered desolate by the loss OF
sons, fathers, husbands and brothers.
Within a year or two the Union
troops had gained possession of the
gulf sections of the south, and it may
be said that it was in this section that
the southern women first turned theil
attention to decking the graves of theil
soldiers. The idea may be said tc
have been spontaneous, and like many
another custom, may be said to have
been instituted by public opinion II
several places at the same time. Ger
, tainly 1t would be a work of much diff
; fculty to decide just where the custom
, really originated in the south.
Spring visits the south a full month
before it's first harbingers appear II
the north, and as a consequence 1t be
came customary to strew flowers owe
the graves Of the fallen soldiers IL
April, when flowers were fresh and IL
bloom. For the first few years, ant
until after the war, the custom wa
. only a custom, and had not been or
ganized into an institution. 1t hat
nothing like authority back Of 1t; bu
1t was persisted in with that tende
, feeling for the departed that by shee
:. public opinion it became one of tn
, strongest kind of laws, that born O
custom.
1t requires the authority of the reI
: resentatives of the people to enact
law making a certain day a legal hol
= day, but it does not require anythinI
more than custom to get the people t
J turn out and pay public homage; an
Q they did turn out, carrying their arm
> filled with flowers to lay on the littl
mounds in the graveyards and llttl
: cemeteries.
But while this was going on in tn
u south there wal in the north, whic
. was quite natural, a similar feeling
9 1t. too, grew spontaneously. 1t did nc
require much to arouse the enthusiast
of the people to a duty of this kind, an

If that was his intention, he had

their regular meeting in Haledon witt

LincOln'S
Gettysburg Address

EOURSCORE and seven years
ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation,
conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are
created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that
nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield
of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field as
a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that
nation might live. 1t is altogether
fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cam
not dedicate, we cannot conse-
crate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here have
consec<ated 1t far above our poor
power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long
remember, what we say here, but
1t can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for us, the living,
rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished woM which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. 1t is rather for us to
be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before us; that from
these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to the cause for
which they gave the last full
measure of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have
new birth Of freedom, and that
government Of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth.

Of precious lives In the awful strife
of so years ago. II was a titanic
struggle, a harvest Of death on
blood-soaked battlefields in which

with equal bravery and stubborn

have left us a heritage Of deathless

knew how to die for the cause
they believed to be right. 1t tested
