A DIVINE COVENANT,

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order Of com.
panionship, civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela,
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has Eonored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending ar agreement to which
she was not a party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that it is a
dangerous thing to debase woman BY
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and IN outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un-
ashamed.

Lees Retreat From
Gettysburg

- NE Of the most dramatic Incl
dents of the civil war was
~ the retreat of Lees army aft
er Gettysburg, with its hun.
dreds of wagon loads Of wounded sol.
niers.
A woman who lived by the road
down which this long line Of scream
ing grooming and dying men was be-
ing hauled said that it was the most
awesome event Of her life. They went
by her home during the night.
But even the wounded had to make
way for the guns. When the artillery
came laundering along the road the Of
Hcers in command of it forced the
wagons loaded with wounded to give
them the right Of way, which was done.
A good many of the thousands Of
the Union wounded at Gettysburg
were taken to Philadelphia war hos
pitfalls by railroad trains. The nearly
5000 dead in blue and gray who lay
OF the sunny fields at Gettysburg gave
the opposing armies far less worry
than did the hosts of wounded.

An Echo Of the Civil War.

A resolution was adopted recently by
the Vermont legislature commencing
Mrs. Bette Van Metre Of Berryville,
Va, for her are Of Lieutenant Bedell
Of Westfield, VI, in the civil war.
Lieutenant Bedclrs leg was broken
by a shell in a battle at Opequon, Va,
and he was left behind by his regi-
ment. He was picked up unconscious
and carried to the home Of a family
whose southern sympathies were so
strong that he was left in an attic
room for three days without proper
care until Mrs. Van Metre, then a girl
Of twenty Years, heard of his condition
and insisted on acting as nurse. She
watched over him, regardless of the
criticisms of her friends, until he was
able to be moved back to his home.

Natures Own Decoration Day.

1t is not easy to write about the
dreadful war between the north and
the south. We press u breasts
against a thorn when we do. It is
often said that it is still too early to
write the true story of u civil war.
1t will Don be too late. We should
not shrink from recording what we
know to be true. Thus only will a full
history of American courage and idel-
ity be preserved, for all were Ameri-
cans. The last time I visited Peters
burg I drove out to her battlefelds.
Nature had hidden the scars with beau
ty. The seeds Of the field daisy had
been scattered wherever the Federal
forces had been encamped, and they
had whitened the fields and covered
the graves by the wayside. Nature
had not forgotten these lonely, un-
marked graves.-Mrs. Roger A. Pryor.

The Return Of the Southern Flags.

When it was first proposed to return
to the southern states the Confederate
flags which had been captured in the
battles of the civil war the proposition
met with a storm of protest. In 1908 the
flags were returned, Massachusetts be-
ing the first to act, though it had been
loudest in denunciation when the pro-
posal was advocated by Sumner.
In the following year the command
er in chief Of the G.. a. r.. Jatles Tan
ner, asked in his Memorial day order
that the graves of the soldiers Of both
armies should be decorated without
discrimination. saying. THE old flag
has been rebaptized since 1865 with
the blood of the north and the south
alike, and the ship of state is securely
anchored for all time"

1914 at her home in Maiden. Mass, at
the age of ninety. Mrs. Redpath was
In Charleston, S. c., at the time with
her husband. who was on General
Sherman's staff. She was troubled by
the lack of attention given to the de-
cent burial of Union soldiers.
Our men," she wrote, had been
buried as they died from exposure OF
disease in the very trouglls they had
burrowed for themselves in the ground
as protection against the weather. The
majority of these graves were unmark-
ed and the field was uninclosed. MY
husband and myself and our friends
formed a committee for consideration
of the matter, and Il memorial address
ed to the loyal people of South Carroll
ma was issued. calling upon every one
i'll the state to aid in the erection Of Il
monument and IL suitable fence to pro
tect it and to surround the place for
burial. Response was promptly and
generously made by freedmen and 9TH

carried to decorate the graves. Mr..
Redpath and | rode in an open car

member of the committee. The ell
thusiasm was intense. When the pro-

horses from the carriage and dragged

surged around us, waving their flow

songs of their race. When we reached

soldiers were heaped with myrtle. the

A battlefield LETTER.
Written by Dying Union Soldier TO
Family After Antietam.

Written by Dying Union Soldier to
Family After Antietam.
An interesting reminder of the civil
war is the letter Of Captain Allen II.
Zacharias, written OH the Antietam
battlefield. His regiment, the Seventh
Michigan, had been driven back when
the Union soldiers advanced over the
same ground. Captain Zacharias was
found holding a paper on which he
had written:
Dear Parents, Brothers and Sisters:
I am wounded, mortally, I think.
The fight RACES around me.
I have done my duty: this Is my conso-
lation.
l hope to meet you all again.
I left not the line till all had fallen and
the colors gone.
I am getting weak. My arms are free,
but below the chest all is numb.
The enemy trotting over me-.
The numbness up to my heart. Goodby,
pll. ALLEN.

GUST FOR MEMORIES"
Nation Pauses on Memorial Day to
Think Of Dead and Living Heroes.

Think of Dead and Living Heroes.
give minutes for memories" on
Memorial day is observed more and
more generally in the United States,
especially by the members Of the G. A.
Il. and similar organizations through
cut the entire country. For five min
utes those who love the memories Of
the men who fought for their country
stand uncovered and pay tribute.
AS the custom has been for several
years, when the tribute to the dead
was paid, SO will it be this year. All
the flags on public and many private
buildings will be lowered to half mast,
bells will toll each thirty seconds
during this time, and those who hon
or the memories of the men who died
that the Union might be saved will,
as In the past, stand uncovered.
A specimen order of the commander
In chief Of the Grand Army of the Re
public, issued III connection with this
custom, reads thus:
AT IL noon Oh Memorial day the
flag will be lowered to half mast and
so kept until 1906. During these five
minutes all comrades will stand I'LL
covered as a mark of respect to the
memories Of those who have died"

Garfield's Memorial Address.

On the first formal Memorial day, in
1858, the services at Arlington ceme
terry were perhaps the most impressive.
The speaker on that occasion was Gen
eral James ~. Garfield, who said:
Il love to believe that no heroic sac
rifice is ever lost; that the characters
Of men are nodded and inspired by
what their fathers have done; that
treasured up in American souls are all
the UNCONSCIOUS influences of the great
deeds Of the Anglo-SaXon race from
Agincourt to Bunker Hill. Each for
himself gathered up the cherished pur-
poses of life-itS aims and ambitions,
its dearest afections-and flung all,
with life itself, into the scale of battle.
If each grave had a voice to tell us
what its silent tenant last saw and
heard on earth WI might stand with
uncovered heads and hear the whole
story of the war. We should hear that
one persisted when the first great drops
of the crimson shower began to fall,
when the darkness of that first disaster
at Manassas fell like an eclipse on the
nation; that another died Of disease
while wcHTily waiting for winter to
end: that this one fell on the field
when the tide of war shook the dome
Of yonder capitol and re-echoed in the
chambers of the executive mansion.
The voices of these dead will forever
fill the land like holy benedictions.
What other spot so fitting for their last
resting place as this. under the shadow
Of the capitol saved by their valor?
Here where the grim edge Of battle
Joined. here where all the hope and
fear and agony Of their country cen
tered, here let them rest. asleep on the
nations heart. entombed in the nations
love!"
