been concentrated for the invasion Of
Germany. Royal headquarters have
been temporarily established at Brest-
Litovak, fortified town on the river
Bug. where Grand Duke Nicholas and
the General Staff are also located. AS
the Russian army advances the Gear

er west, first to Siodlce and then to
Warsaw.
Emperor William of Germany, ac-
cording to latest reports, is now at
Thorn, East Prussia, the great fort
ress that strengthens the German line
of defense running south to Cracow.
Thorn is on the frontier of Poland.
The Kaiser and Gar, actual command
ers of the two greatest armies in the
field, are only two hundred and twen-
ty-five miles apart, less than the dis
tance from Boston to New York, each
on the edge of the battlefield on
which would be made the destiny of
Europe.
On that battle field, which lies south
of Thorn and west of Brest-Litovsk,
the advance guard of the two vast
armies have been skirmishing for
three days, but it may be week or
more before the main forces are lock-
ed In death-grapple.

The Prodigal Son

Our sky pilots sermons are a heap interestin' and elevatin'. Sunday mornin' he talked on aI- lowin' tn things of tn world to come between us and God. He says too many of us are feedin' on tn loco weeds of this world and forgettin' about tn alfalfa fields of tn next world, where they have six cuttin's a year and no dry seasons. It is allowed it would be a heap conducive to our we'll being if we would feed on tn better things a while. In tn evenin' he preached on tn Prodigal Son, who cut out his bunch of cattle from his fathers herd and converted 'em into cash and rode into town to paint it red. As tn story goes he had a good time while tn money lasted and made several saloon keepers rich, but he soon went busted and became so onery that he herded swine. He figured out he had made big mistake in cuttin' away from his father, and allowed he would go back and start over again. Instead of treatln' hlm as he deserved when he got home, tn old father treat ed him with great love. The parson figured out that tn old father was a whole lot like God, and that God never goes back on tn fellow that's maxim good fight, even if he slips and falls whole lot.

DECORATION DAY.


 Decoration Day, and excepting in some southern states is now observed throughout the United States and it's territories in the western hemisphere. A world of sentiment clings to the day. and an ocean of tears has been dried by the sacred and tender feelings it has inspired.
 He was a true knight of hu- manity who established the day exactly AS years ago on May 1. James Redpath was a Scotchman. whose seIf-imposed mission in life was to help the lowly and oppressed. At 19 years of age he was an editor on the New York Tribune; and that he might see slavery for himself, at a time when the question was deeply agitating the country, he visited the South, lived in the cabins of the slaves and jour neyed on foot through the sea- board states. He became an ab-. olitionist and during the war served as an army correspondent. He was in Charleston when that old, aristocratic South Carolina City surrendered, and wishing to raise the negroes to a higher plane of civilization, he offered his services as superintendent of education and organized the school system of the state. It was while serving in this capas city that he created Memorial Day, or as it was then and sub- sequentIy more generally called, Decoration day.
 One day while teaching in a Presbyterian church a lot of black gamins, for whom no place could be found in the regular schools, he suggested to them the Iropriety of decorating the graves of their friends and de- lenders who lost their lives in the fight for freedom. One little  girl suggested that all should go and get armfuls of posies and ''jes hide the graves from sight till we caint see lem again nevah no more"
 The suggestion was acted up- on. A day was set for decorat- ing the graves, wide publicity was given to the idea, and on May l, 1865. 10000 persons with a battalion of soldiers. partici- pated in the first Memorial day. The Idea spread. It was taken up by the Grand Army of the Republic and four years later, Gen. John A. Logan, commander in-chief. changed the date to May 30.
 In 1881, at the height of the land agitation in Ireland, when the people under Parnell and Da- witt were engaged in live and death struggle with Iandlordism and famine was stalking through the land, he visited that country. He went to Ireland a skeptic; he came back a convert to her cause. He travelled over the is- land by jaunting car and on foot; interviewing priest, peasant and landlord; saw with his own eyes misery greater than he had ever witnessed in the South, and fresh from the firing line of that bat tie poured out into the columns of the New York Tribune very graphic and passionate destrip- tions the sights his eyes beheld. He did much to mold public opinion in the United States in Ireland's behalf, and on return
