A Civil War
Veteran Talks

See here, John and Mary, you and
Sue and Will and Bessie come over
here and let me talk to you. Yes, tell
all the rest to come. too. if they like.
There, now, stand around my chair
and listen.
/ saw the most of you at the camp
fire last night How you did laugh
when COmrade Phil Check told some
of his funny war stories! And then
Sue and Bess both shed few tears
when David James told something Of
the story OF his prison life-of his es-
cape and recapture and of his coming
home so weak and worn out with dis
ease and starvation that his mother
did not know him. The rest Of you
looked pretty sober, too, and no won
der. And l thought when the eX-gOver-
nor talked about the meaning Of our
flag and the bravery of the men who
fought for it in wartimeS that John
and Will and Harry almost wished for
another war that they might show to
the world that the boys of these days
are just as true and brave as those of
81. / am of opinion, too, that when
you were told of the life. character
and hospital service of our good Mrs.
Governor Harvey and other women
like her you girls almost wished that
you. like them. might go to war and
care for sick and wounded soldiers.
While it does us old veterans good
TO get together now and then in such
a campfire as we had last night, we
do not at all wish to have you get from
us a love for war. We do wish you to
love your country as you love your
homes. but we hope that as you grow
into manhood and wOmanhood you will
set very high value on the blessings
of peace. We hope that when our ma
ton has hard questions to settle,
whether at home or abroad. you and
others like you will find some other
way to do than fight over them. Don't
fight unless it seems certain that great
wrongs can be conquered and righted
in no other way. Then fight for the
right, and fight hard.
When we boys went TO war in '61
we verify thought the only way to
save our country from disunion and
make it in truth the land of the free
and the home of the brave was to
obey President LincOln's call for men
to fight for the honor of our flag.
Many of US were not much older than
you, John and Harry. There are thou
sands of graves about the old battle
fields of the south and along our lines
of march where sixteen-year-old boys
were wrapped in their blankets and
laid away to rest. having given their

Softly, tenderly, as shadows fall upon
the gray old world to shut out its
WEAKNESS, SO fall these dream folds OF
the old flag upon the soldier, and he
sleeps.
A Gordon of these men behind the

Flowers For the Brave.

Here bring your purple and gold,
Glory Of color and scent
Scarlet of tulips bold,
Buds blue as the armament.

And the bugle piping clear,
The vivid and delicate life
In the soul of the youthful year.
We bring to the quiet dead.
With a gentle and tempered grier.
Ger the mounds so mute we shed
The beauty of blossom and leaf.
The flashing swords that were drawn.
No rust shall their fame destroy.
Boughs rosy as riffs of dawn.
Like the blush on the cheek or JOY.
Rich fires OF the gardens and meads
We kindle. these hearts above.

What sweetness can match our lover

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
Seething and Kissing shell in a flood
OF carnage and blood,
Moving them down like blades of grass
In a 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 aglow!
They suffered and died not in vain
VINO gave up their lives for our gain!
To them reverent homage pay
This is their day!

who thought that all the Oppos-

raegermore to have a resurrec-

He is careful not to slow Eddie up
in turning double plays at the key

In the fifth inning Weaver made a
play that bOrdered on the supernat-
ural, play that would have been
impossible to more than two or three
shortfelders. Gainor was on third
base when Cady bounded a fast one
through the box. Buck skidded over
to his left, took the ball with his left
hand and shot accurately to Schalk
while off balance and on a dead run
toward first base. Gainor was nailed
Later Buck went to his right after
hard hit ball and tagged Iris Speaker
at the place. Two runs were cut off
and this was exactly the margin by
which the Sox won. Is Weaver val
liable? There's the answer.
In the seventh the Sox almost made
a record in scoring a run. E. Collins
walked, went clear to third on Four

Collins long fly. A run without a hit
