SILENT SOLEMNITY MARKS
TRIBUTE TO U. S. NAVY men

oratory. For my own part have
mixture of feeling,
The feeling that is uppermost is
one OF profound grief, that these lads
should have had to go to their death.
But yet ] feel a profound pride ana
envy that they should have been per-
mitted to do their duty so nobly.
Their duty is not an uncommon
thing. Men are performing 1t IN the
ordinary walks of life and they are
making sacrifices. but what gives them
Deculiar distinction is that they did not
give their lives for themselves, but
gave their lives for us because we as
a nation called upon them.
Are YOU sorry for the lads? Are
YOU sorry for the way they will be
remembered? ] hope to God none or
YOU will Join the list. but if you Go,
YOU will join an immortal company,
and while there goes out of our hearts
an affectionate sympathy for them,
we know why we do not go away from
this occasion with our hearts cast
down. but with confidence that all Will
be worked out. We have gone down
to Mexico to serve mankind if we can
find the way. We don't want to fight
the Mexieans, we want to serve them.
"A war of aggression is not a thing
in which it is proud to die. but war
of service is war in which IL is a
proud thing TO die.
The President referred then to the
Cosmopolitan personnel of the vic
Tins.
Il listened to the list" he added.
with profound feeling, because they
were not Irish men, or Germans or
Hebrews when they went to Vera
Cruz. They were Americans and no
matter where their people came from,
they did the things that were Amer,
lean.
War is only sort of dramatic
representation, symbol of a thou
sand forms of duty. l never was in
battle or under fire. but l fancy 1t is
just as hard to do our duty when
men are sneering at you, for when
they shoot at you they take your nat
ural life, and when they sneer at you
they wound your heart.
LAS l think of these spirits that
have gone from us I know that the
way is clearer for the future, for they
have shown US the way"
When the President had finished
there was a moment of silence. then
Rabbi Stephen Wise delivered a pray
er for the dead.
The religious service ended with
prayer by the Rev. John P. Chadwick
chaplain of the Maine.
Final Tribute
After Chaplain Chidwicks prayer a
squad of marines with their backs to
the President raised their rifles over
the flower decked collins. and the
crack of their salute sounded as if it
had been fired by one man. Three
volleys were fired as a final tribute to
the dead.
1t was nearly noon when a navy
bugler stepped forward and the notes
of Taps" sounded above the crowd
standing bare-headed and silent
The spectators departed slowly, and
the distinguished group on the Presi-

A TRIcK o. TIE TRADE.

One mother has avowed that she
has discarded all but button boots,
shoes and slippers for her children,
and going a step further she has APP
piled the same rule to the footwear
of the grown-ups. Why? Economy,
she says; for with family of seven
she found that money for shoe laces
amounted to good sum at the end
OF a year, to say nothing Of the time
and nervous shock spent on broken
laces. Then she made practice OF
having the family shoe buttons put on
to stay when the purchase was made,
and she calculated her saving OF time,
money and nerves as worth while.
One thing that is fortunately in this
mothers favor is the present vogue of
buttoncd effects IN footwear for every
body from grandfather down to-'tfsc

A bill will be introduced in the

doption. A law was enacted in
the last Legislature to return to
the old county adoption, but this
bill could not take effect until
the expiration of the present con-
tract, which will be next year.
This is one of the few bills pro-
posed that should pass. Under
the present law the text books
are the same in every county in
the State. If the new law takes
effect every county in the State
must adopt its own books, which
most generally Is somewhat diff

moving from one county to an
other will have to buy a COM
