While the people in the North on
this thirtieth of May were rejoicing
over the victory Of their soldiers at
Corinth and over the results which
they felt would inevitably follow, what
about the people in the South? Nearly
year had now passed since the VIC
tory of the Confederate soldiers at
the battle of Bull Run. When the news
OF this victory had come to the south
ern people many of them thought the
war was over. So general was this
impression that many of the southern
soldiers had gone back to their
homes, thinking that there would be
no further need of their services.
The evacuation of Corinth cast a
gloom over the whole South, but there
still remained with the southern peo-
pie an implicit confidence in the army
of northern Virginia, which was, on
that day, holding it's own in defense of
Richmond.

music. She had never heard of Me-
mortal day; she knew only that she
must reach a remote spot far at the
other side of town, and that if she did
not hurry dinner would be late. Again
and again she changed cars, until,
Weary and half-frightened, she came
at last to her destination.
Between the high pickets of the
fence before her she could see tall
elms and naples waving their arms in
the chill air. And the crowds of PEG.
pie were in there, too! Could it be
that the whole world knew why she
had come? With a sense of giddiness
and sitting pain at her heart she
fastened, half blindly. through the
iron gates and away toward far off.

and flowers, heard a babel of voices
and music-"The land of the free and
the home of the brave" sang a chorus

orator close by; but nobody noticed
her as she hurried down the smooth,
winding roadway.
1t was very small grave-scarcely
three feet long, and with the imprint

grass, nor headstone above it; yet in

dreary grave lonely girl laid a spray

the great battle which she had fought

white lilacs.

DAY OFT OBSERVED
Memorial Ceremonies Over Fallen
Soldiers Really Date Back
/ to Spring of 1865.

THE readiness with which the sol.
diers of the Civil war became
quiet citizens at the close Of the
war greatly puzzled foreigners at that
time. Foreigners do not realize that
1t has never been the policy of our
people to maintain large standing
army. The soldiers of the Union and
the soldiers Of the Confederacy were
nearly all volunteers. Both armies
were composed, in the main, of law
abiding men, who left their homes in
obedience to what they thought was
their duty. The contest was one Of
principle; not one of personal revenge.
The matter being settled, they were
ready to return to their accustomed
occupations.
The readiness with which the Union
and Confederate soldiers now unite I'M
observing Memorial day also puzzles
foreigners. They think that it is a.
mere matter of eXpediency which was;
brought about in 1898, when some of;
the old Union and Confederate SOL:
diers marched side by side under the;
Stars and Stripes. But such is not!
the case. The Blue and the Gray had:
been united in the observance of Me-:
mortal day before the war with;
Spain.
Memorial day, as it is now formally;
observed as legal holiday in a ma;
1ority OF the states, was inaugurated;
in 1868. Gen. John B. Logan, who was:
at that time commanders n-chief of the!
Grand Army of the Republic, issued an;
order to all surviving Union soldiers!
to meet May 80 of that year, at the |!
cemeteries near their respective;
posts, and to decorate the graves Of;
their fallen comrades. But the cere-i
mony, in an informal way, had beenI
observed since the spring of 1865 in
the South, where the custom originate
ed. The ceremonies at the graves of
the Confederate dead in Hollywood
cemetery at Richmond, Va, in the
spring Of 1867 were being observed at
the time Mrs. John B. Logan happened
to be visiting in that city. She was sol
pleased with the simple beauty oil
these ceremonies that she urged herI
husband to inaugurate similar ceremo-
MES for the Union soldiers. It was
these ceremonies that suggested theI
idea to General Logan.
The idea of uniting the ceremonies
Of the northern and the southern peo-
pie seems to have originated, also, in|
the South, for in the spring of 1867
the women Of Columbus, Miss, while
decorating the graves of ConfederateI
soldiers, strewed flowers on the graves
Of the Union soldiers who were buried
In the same cemetery. When the news
Of this touching tribute reached the
North, the northern newspapers COM
nented favorably on the fact.
Since that time the sentiment ex.|
pressed in it has been growing among
he American people. The monument
erected at Fitzgerald. Ga, by the Blue
md Gray Memorial association of that
'lace is one of the best visible express.

MARKED END OF BITTERNESS
Pathetic Incident in Southern Gene
terry Showed Lessening Of
Wartime Grief.

For long time there was a rigid
rule against erecting any but Federal
monuments in Federal battlefield
cemeteries and Confederate monu-
ments in Confederate cemeteries. But
as time passed and the bitterness
healed slabs were placed here and
there denoting that one-time enemy
slept among the others. When Me-
mortal day came the flowers were
placed ungrudgingly on the aliens
mound.
In one of the southern cemeteries
where northern soldier rests there
was for a long time practice of dec
Grating every Confederate grave with
tiny Confederate f1ag-the Stars and
Bars. AS the survivors and the wild
ows and orphans Of the Confederate
dead came spring after spring to
strew their flowers and plant their
flags they halted at the Yankee SOL
dier's grave for second with bitter
thoughts. Finally, as. time passed and
their grief lessened. they placed flow
ers on their foeman's grave also.
In 1872, as young widow of one of
the dead Confederates went with her
little daughter to decorate the graves,
the girl noticed that no Confederate
flag had been placed on the northern
soldiers mound. So she placed one
there. The chairman of the Memorial
committee, passing by, removed it.
The little girl burst into tears and
1t was hard to explain things SO as to
satisfy her. Her elders began to think
over the incident.
The next month. when the widow
again went to the cemetery, she
brought with her small Stars and
Stripes. which she had procured only
after considerable difficulty.
This she silently handed her little
daughter. who placed it lovingly on
the Yankee soldiers grave.

she was as silent as an Indian. Now
and again, as she dressed, she looked
at herself closely, almost anxiously, in
her cracked mirror. With the knuckle
of her forefinger she occasionally
brushed away fog of tears which
blinded her. And then she hurried
down the stairs, out the back door and
across the lawn to Mrs. Winthrop's
baby, who was playing under the lilac
hedge.
Bye, Hilma," he called, waving his
fat little hand and holding up a spray
Of white lilac.
The girl took him in her arms for a
second. burying her face in his chubby
neck. Tank you, little Yon," she
murmured in her poor, broken Eng
fish. "Hilma love sweet little boys
yust like you," and putting him gently
from her she took the spray of lilacs
and hurried away.

GLADDENED BY
FALL OF CORINTH
Thirtieth Of May, 1862, Was a
Day Of Great Rejoicing in
the North.

;THE thirtieth of May in 1862 was
made memorable in Civil war his
tory by the evacuation of Corinth,
Miss. The seizure of this Confederate
stronghold by the Union armies was
ian event which, estimated by it's re.
:sults, may be regarded as the first i'm
:portant event of the war. Since the
: first of May Halleck had been trying
to gain possession Of this stronghold,
which. at that time, was held by Beau
regard. In the meantime Old Farm.
ington, the strongly fortified outpost
OF the Confederacy, about four miles
from Corinth, had been given up; Mar
maduke, who had been in command
there, had retired to Corinth to re-
enforce Beauregard The Union
forces had taken possession of Old
Pennington. had cut off Beauregards
railroad connections to the north and
east and had, by the twenty-ninth of
May, succeeded in working their way
to a position near the Confederate
!: Notifications at Corinth, from which
an assault could be made.
1t was Halleck's intention to make
an assault on the following morning,
and he was expecting to meet with
strong resistance. But Halleck's eX-
pectations were not realized. All night
long the pickets and sentinels heard
continuous roar of moving cars in
Corinth. At early dawn Halleck sent
out skirmishers, but no foe appeared
to oppose them. He then ordered
Sherman to advance with his troops
toward the Confederate Notifications
and to feel the enemy" But no en-
envy could be found. Where was he?
Out near Old Pennington there still
stands a tall tree which today is
pointed out to sightseers who visit
Corinth as Lookout Tree" From the
top of this tree the Union spies, at the
time of the siege, with a field glass,
used to observe the movements of the
Confederate troops.
The morning of the thirtieth of May,
1862. these spies saw only the rear of
Beauregard's army far to the south of
Corinth fleeing down the Mobile rail-
road. The enemy whom Sherman had
been sent to feel" had escaped. The
city had been evacuated and left as a
prize of war to the Union army.
On this thirtieth of May there was
much rejoicing in the northern states,
for all through the month of May the
people there had been awaiting the
outcome Of this siege. On the follow.
ing morning there appeared in the
New York Tribune long editorial be.
ginning thus:
Another stronghold of the rebels
has fallen. Corinth is reannexed to
the Union. and Beauregard's army is
flying down the Mobile railroad in
anxious search for the last ditch"
This tells the story. Soon after the
thirtieth of May of the preceding year
the battle of Bull Run had given the
Confederates a strong footing in the
East, but since the beginning of the
year 1862 the Union forces had been
gaining series of victories in the
Mississippi valley; Pea Ridge, Shiloh,
Island Number Ten, New Madrid and
Fort Donelson had prepared the way

in which to do it; hence Hilma's short.
comings fretted her considerably. II
suppose the girl will wear those lilacs
to some Swedish picnic" was her final
comment; and she returned to her
novel and her chocolates.
Meanwhile Hilma hurried across
lots toward car. There was need for
haste. She had two hours ride be.

was expected home again in time to
cook dinner. How crowded the cars
were! How often they stopped! What
