Other Memorial
Days Than Ours

Memorial day, which is celebrated on
May 80 in almost every state of our
Union, has been set apart by statute
as a special day for decorating the
graves Of the nations soldiers and for
holding appropriate exercises in their
memory. While it originally sprang
from spontaneous desire to do honor
to the heroes who fell in the civil war,
still it is now celebrated in honor of
all the soldier dead, that their heroism
and sacrifices may never be forgotten.
1t is interesting to trace the origin
Of this holiday. for, like many another
modern institution, it goes back to the
early days of civilizatio We have
been celebrating it with special sig
nificance since the civil war, and yet
upon examining it we find the adapta-
ton of an ancient custom rather than
the expression Of a new idea. In fact,
days set aside for ceremonies to honor
the dead are intimately connected with
all races.

IF YOU HAVE LOVED BEFORE
BE Sure Your Wife-to.Bc Knows All
About 1t, FOR That Is the Ma
ture of Woman.

Some men seem 70 have the idea
that to tell girl their old love al
fairs is to make her jealous or I'M
easy henceforth.
This is quite mistake, fo' if she
is that sort of girl she is not worth
troubling about, and it's better 70 find
out in time, as marriage where COM
plete confidence does not reign on
both sides is not likely to be a happy
one.
However, speaking generally, no
sensible girl really fancies she is the
first and only love, for where is the
man, or the girl, for the matter Of
that, who has never had the shadow
of passing Irritation before the pres
ent "adored one" appeared on the
scene? And, after ALL it does not mat
ter very much how many old love
affairs a man has had, provided they
are dead and gone, end he Can truly
impress upon his ceigning sovereign
that she is the best and truest and
the last. A great many girls like to
feel that they are the chosen rec1pl-
elts of such condolences, and the mere
fact of being able to chat easily
about old flames will prove that no
sad remembrance is attached.
Even if you did happen to have a
serious attachment, it is all the more
necessary to be absolutely straightfor-
ward about it.
Your tancee will appreciate your
honesty and can feel that at all events
there are 10 unpleasant discoveries
to be made later on, for when conf
dences come too late then real mis-
chief is done, and it takes noble
minded woman to forgive and forget.

Memorial Day.

This is the day
OF the heroes who passed away
Who fell in their might and their pride
And died
Side by side
When the guns and the cannon roared
And into the serried ranks there poured
Settling and kissing shell in a flood
OF carnage and blood,
Moving them down like blades of grass
In hideous mass,
Yet glad to suffer and bleed
And die for their country's need,
For the right as the right they saw,
As the blue or the gray they wore!
To them fearful homage pay
This is their day!
Bring We flowers
For these gallant heroes of ours
For northron and southron, both brave,
Who gave
To the grave,
To be buried forevermore,
All sectional rancor and hate,
That, true and elate,
We might march on in glory and pride
Brothers, side by side,
Rejoicing one country we know
In our hearts, love of it aglowl
They suffered and died not in vain
Who gave UP their lives for our gain!
To them reverent homage pay
This is their day.

placed ungrudgingly on the aliens
mound. In one of the southern GENE
teries where a northern soldier rests
there was for a long time practice of
decorating every Confederate grave
with a tiny Confederate lag-the stars

southerners' grief lessened they placed
flowers on their foeman's grave also.

A SOUTHERNER'S MEMORIAL
DAY SENTIMENT.

May 80 has been set aside by
northern states as Memorial
day. Everywhere that a FEEDER
al soldier is buried his last rest
ing place is made beautiful on
this date by loyal hands and low
ing hearts. The soldiers body
for the time being rests under
mounds of buds and blossoms,
while the flag for which he
fought-our flag-hutters at half
staff above his tomb. In many
places ON Memorial day the
graves of Confederate soldiers
are streWn with flowers by north
ern men and women who have
forgotten the hatreds of war and
the rancors of reconstruction.
There can be no true American
who does not welcome these
signs of peace and friendship.
Orators may prate in national
gatherings and tell in spread
eagle metaphors of the greatness
and goodness of the new unifica-
ton, but all their eloquence fails
to impress the southern heart
with the sincerity of some north
ern community when it places
above the grave of a Confederate
soldier its simple tribute-a
bunch of blossoms of the spring.
Here is the act without hope of
reward, the act that has no mo-
tive hidden in its doing-an act
of friendship, an act of frater-
nifty and the action of hearts
that are large enough to realize
that the dead Confederate SOL
diers were Americans and their
bravery was but the reflex of the
