The Thinning Blue Line.
(Fitchburg Sentinel.)

4 half century ago there was or
ganized in this state the department
Of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and annually since then there has been
a gathering of the veterans Of the Civil
war, who make up its membership. The
ranks are fast thinning, and the men
who walked with justly proud steps
then are now showing the ravages of
age. But the accommodating years have
not served to decrease their ardor OF
their reverence for the flag under
which they fought when the nation was
in danger of dissolution, nor their love
and respect generally for each other
This splendid body of men serves as q
fine example for rising generations.

Light and breezy entertainment,
just the kind that is appropriate for
the season, is being presented for the
last half of the week at the Columbia
theatre, Davenport. Arthur Lavine's
girl act, From Ceney Island to the
North Pole is one long, loud laugh in
which comedy maidens, funny coined
ians and talented singers are fea-
tured. The scenery is noteworthy,
especially where a life-sized airship
is shown enroute for the frozen reg
ions and is met by German dirigible.
