and gentlemen; you would not desire
me to do so But there Is this peculiar
distinction belonging to the soldier. that
he goes into an enterprise out of which
he himself cannot get anything at all
He is giving everything that he hath.
even his life, in, order that others may
live, not in order that he himself. may
attain gain and prosperity. And just
as soon as the tasks of peace are per-
formed in the same spirit Of self-sacrifice
and devotion. peace societies will not be
necessary. the very organization Of So
ciety viii be a guarantee of peace
Therefore this peculiar thing comes
about that we can stand here and praise
the memory of these soldiers in the in
terest of peace. They set US the example
of self-sacrifice. which, IL followed in
peace. will make it unnecessary that men
should follow war any more.

Meaning of Mobility.

1--WE never call a man noble who serves
only himself, and il you will look about
through all the nations of the world upon
the statues which men have erected
upon the inscribed tablets where they
have wished to keep alive the memory
of the citizens whom they would most
honor-you win find that almost without
exception they have erected statues to
those men who had a splendid surplus of
courage to spend upon their fellow-men.
Mobility exists in America without
patent. We have no house of lords, but
we have a house of fame in which we
elevate those who are the noble men of
our race, who, forgetful Of themselves,
study and serve the public interest, who
had the courage to face any number and
any kind of adversary to speak what in
their hearts they believed to be the truth.
I'VE admire physical courage, but We
admire, above all things, moral courage
1 believe soldiers will bear me out In say
ing that both come in time of battle. 1
take it. moral courage comes in going
into battle, and the physical courage in
staying in. And there are battles which
are Just as hard to go into and just as
hard to stay in as the battle of arms;
and IL the man will but stay and think
never of himself. there will come a time
of grateful recollection when men will
speak of him not only with admiration.
but with that which goes deeper, with
affection and with reverence.

Enthusiasm among the veterans touched
a high point when Commander Gleeson
introduced Speaker Clark, as friend
of the old soldiers, a man whom We al
ways know where to find and one who
has always been with U.s."
Speaker Clark made no reference to
the Mexican situation. and while he de-
plored the necessity of war, he launched
into a vigorous declaration that ''if any
European power jumped into the United
States it would have to jump on again
very suddenly"
Amid applause the Speaker declared:
I'VE are not a people who, when smitten
on one cheek, turn the other one to the
enemy. The day has not come for beat
ing the sword into the ploughshare or
turning the cannon into pruning forks.
All Europe is an armed camp. We are
said to be the most peaceful people on
earth, but paradoxical as it may seem,
we are also the most martial. This was
proved when in April, 1861. we had only
5000 soldiers, but in April 1865 we had
100000 soldiers wearing the gray and

Not Era of Peace.

With every nation of Europe support
ing armanmento of immense proportions
and straining every nerve to augment
them, it cannot be truthfully said the
world has attained that pacific status
! foretold in the gospel Of the Prince of
Peace. The clank of the sword is heard
and the flash of the bayonet is seen in
every quarter of the globe.
'All history is but one unendine story
of human butchery. All our boasted and
multiplied arts of civilization are but

Africanus, Darius III. and Xerxes arise
from their graves they would find larger
armies, better equipped, and more
thoroughly drilled. ready for their hands
than they commanded at Zama, Arbela,

Senator Reed Smoot made vigorous
appeal for patriotism, holding up the
sacrifice of the men who gave their
lives in the Unions cause as typical of
the American spirit.
Dead of Vera Cruz.
Not so many days since there were
brought home the bodies of our men at
arms, slain at the taking Of Vera Cruz, "
said Senator Smoot. THE entire nation
! mourned the noble dead. To maintain
today million men are ready to finish
the task which they began.
These men gave their lives that
brutal murders of American citizens,
bloody anarchy should cease, and that
our flag should be respected in the re-
publics to the south of US.

THE POULTRY FLOCK

If new stock is needed in the
spring, now is the best time to buy.
Birds that will be large enough in
the spring to make satisfactory
breeders are sufficiently developed
now to show their quality, and there
are several good reasons for early
buying. The majority of breeders
prefer to move out their surplus
stock as early as possible, in order to
give their own stock more room.
They make better prices on good stuff
now than they can afford to make
later in the season. Having the birds
in your possession, you can give them
the winter care that is essential to
their best development, and can rest
assured that you are breeding from
healthy stock.
Roots of all kinds can be fed cooked
or raw, but they should be chopped
fine.
A light morning feed for the flock
is better because it keeps them hust-
ling through the day.
That hens must be fed and fed
literally if one expects eggs in large
quantities, specially winter eggs.

SUCCESSFUL DAIRYING

If one expects success in dairying,
follow the methods of successful
dairymen. The question of good man
agement of milk cows has been set
tied to the satisfaction of all dairy
men and farmers, who have expert
mented in many ways to learn what
is the best thing to do to produce milk
rich in butter fat, in the greatest
quantity, and at the lowest cost
price. This end has been reached
only when all the conditions, viz: good
cows, comfortable stabling, food in
the proper quantity and the right va
riety, some exercises in fair and
pleasant weather in open, clean lots,
and an abundance of drinking water
at regular intervals.
