The Daily Story
Heading the Procession Memorial Day-By M. Quad

There was painful pause, and then
Abner Jones, who was in freman's uni
form. jumped of the counter and said.
There shouldn't be no jealousy
about this thing. Horatio would look

the deacon would be no SLOUGH in his

Silas, but bein' there seems to be

said Horatio Sparrow.

Nor met" yelled Abner Jones.
II was evident that the meeting was
on the point of breaking up in a row
when Joe Richard came sauntering in
as calmly as could be. The deacon saw
him and called out:
'Feller patriots, before this meetin'
breaks up in a row that viii send the
price of Okemos' real estate down so
per cent and put our civilizashun back
80 years let's hear what Joe Richard
has TO say about it"
What's the question:" asked Joe.
About Memorial day. Shall we deco
rate?"
Decorate what?"
why, the soldiers graves"
Il don't see how you are goin' 20 do
it," said Joe as he scratched his ear.
so fur as know or hev bin able 10
find out nobody from Okemos went to

mos man was ever killed. It f0llers
ag'in, that you might look the grave
yard over fur a month and not find q
soldiers grave to decorate. Pears TO
me that you had better git yer grave

Two minutes later Joe was the only
man left in the postofce. tt was as
he had said-there was nothing to dec
crate, and all the blowing had been
for nothing.
