THE LEGACY OF CONFLICT.
by Theodore Roosevelt.


The captains and the armies who, af-
ter long years of dreary campaigning
and bloody, stubborn fighting. brought
to a close the civil war. have left us
even more than q reunited realm The
material effect OF what they did Is
shown in the fact that the same flag
flies from the Great Lakes to the Rio
Grande, and all the people Of the Uni
ted States are richer because they are
one people and not many, because they.
belong to one great nation, and not to q
contemplate knot Of struggling nation
alities.
But besides this besides the material
results Of the civil war, We are all.
north and south, intellectually richer for
It's memories. We are the richer for
each grim campaign, for each hard
fought battle. We arc richer for
valor displayed alike by those who
fought so valtantly for the right, and
by those who. no less rvaltantly, fought
for what they deemed the right. We
have IN us nobler capacities for what
Is great and good because of the. in
finite woe and suffering, and because
Of the splendid ultimate triumph.

KIDNAPPED PRoHIB =
WORKER IS FOUND

Danville, Ill, May 26.--Rev. Louis r.
Palmont, the temperance worker who
was kidnapped from Westyille, ILL.,,
March 81. and who was found in an
abandoned farm house near Columbia,
ILL.,, Saturday night, declares he knows
his abductors. Palmont arrived here
at midnight and will be guest at the
home of the Rev. J, Bickell until the
grand jury investigation into his abb
duction is finished.
Palmont said an automobile owned in
Danville was used to abduct him. He
declared he was drugged and carried
half unconscious from place to place
for 10 days In this machine, He said he
knew the owners of the car.
A two months growth Of beard
showed on his face and he was half
starved and almost black with dirt.
Rev. Mr.. Palmont disappeared after
dry" meeting in which he was one
of the speakers at Westville, Ill Ex-
tensive search throughout Illinois and
surrounding states failed to produce
any clew as to his whereabouts. Sew
eral rewards were offered for his dis
covery, including one of $500 made by
the saloon men of Monroe county, in
which q hot anti-liquor campaign was
then being waged. The minister finally
was given up as dead by his relatives,
Druaaed by captors.
Inc man was taken TO LIS uOIne OL
Rev. Mr.. Stringman, Lutheran
preacher in Columbia, 25 miles south OF
st. Louis, In Monroe county, Illinoisj
When he recovered sufficiently he told
in part the stor~ of his disappearance
on the night of March 81. According to
his stsry, he was kidnapped as he was
returning home from prohibition
meeting. From that time until his re-
lease he remembered little. He said
that he had been drugged. or the four
or five men who captured him, two
wore the uniforms of police officers.
Friday night he said, he was brought
to the abandoned farm house In an au-
tomobile. There he was tied and
gagged. He worked the gag loose and
called for help. His captors heard his
cries and returned, warning him to
cease shouting or they would set the
house on fire.
The man then became quiet and no
attempt was made to replace the gag.
Later ne heard farm hands working
near the house and again called for
help. with the result that he was res
cued.
Palmont. whose home Is in Milwau-
kee, went to Westville, ILL.,, during the
recent local option campaign in that
to%n and took the leadership Of the
dry forces.

THE GRAVES OF OUR DEAD.
BY Robert @. Ingersoll.

AZ we cover the graves Of the heroic
dead with flowers, the past rises before
US like q dream. Again we are In the
great struggle. We hear the sounds or
preparation-the music Of boisterous
drums-the silver voices Of heroic
bugles We hear the appeals of ora
tors; we see the pale cheeks of women,
and the flushed faces of men; we see
all the dead whose dust we have COW
cred with flowers. We lose sight Of
them no more. We are with them
when they enlist In the great army OF
freedom. We see them apart from
those they love.
We see them as they march proud
ly away, under the Haunting flags,
marching down the streets OF the great
cities, through the towns, and across
the prairies, to do and to die for the
eternal right. We go with them, one
and all. We are by their side on all
the CORY fields, in all the hospitals OF
pain, on all the weary marches. We
stand guard with them In the wild
storm and under quiet stars. We see
them pierced with balls and torn with
shells, In the trenches by the forts, and
In the whirlwind OF the charge, where
men become iron with nerves OF steel.
We are at home when the news reaches
us that they are dead. We see the
maiden In the shadoW or her r1rst sor-
row. We see the silvered head of the
old man bowed with the last grief
Those heros are dead. They sleep un-
der the solemn pines. the sad hemlocks,
the fearful Willows, and the embracing
vines. They sleep beneath the
shadows of the clouds, careless alike of
sunshine or of storm, each in the win
dowless place Of rest. Earth may run
red with other wars-they are at peace.
Tn fha midst Of hattie In tina roar of
the conflict, they found the serenity of
death. / have one sentiment for the
soldiers, living and dead-cheers for the
living. tears for the dead.

The Soldiers Widow,

Home they brought her warrior dead;
She nor swoon'd, nor utter'd cry;
All her maidens, watching, said,
She must weep or she will die
Then they praised him, soft and low,
Called him worthy to be loved,
Truest friend and noblest foe;
Yet she neither spoke nor moved.
Stole a maiden from her place,
Lightly to the warrior slept,
Took the face-cloth from the face;
Yet she neither moved nor wept
Rose a nurse OF ninety years,
Set his child upon her knee
Like summer tempest came her tears
