T1HERE are no flowers too
sweet to strew above
ssssSsSsy them.


- sweet to strew above
tss&g) them,
Brave hearts that lie in silent,
dreamless sleep;
No sarlands fair enough for
those who love them
To lay with chastened tears
at head and feet,
No song too tender or too sweet
to sing them
In loving praise Of deeds most
grand and true.
No tribute sweet and pure
enough to bring them.
The dear old boys-the boys
who wore the blue.
Silent through all the years
that pass SO fleetly,
Silent and still they lie in
calm repose.
Under the violets they slumber
sweetly,
Forgotten now life's struggles
and life's woes.
Forgotten now the wars dread
smoke and thunder,
The carbine's flash, the means
Of mortal pain
All is forgotten now. No worlds
great wonder
Rouses from sleep and rest
the heroes slain.

Pause Once a Year

When men die in battle in
defense Of their homes Or for
principles which they wish to
- leave as a heritage to their
p children, the next generation
- would be ungrateful indeed If
"a they could not pause at least
- once year to remember the
"a devotion Of the heroic dead
p and, if possible, give thanks
"a for the example of their vir-
VA tues, shed a tear for their
"a loss and offer prayer for the ,
n forgiveness of their frailties. ,
M In some countries there is .
m superstition that tears are
efficacious in procuring rest
and pardon for the dead. In
the funeral grafton of st. Am
IA brosius it is said: ''The poor
Pa also shed their tears, precious !
"a and fruitful tears, that wash
"a ed away the sins of the de- I
- ceased. They let floods of re- !
"a deeming tears" \
p On the other hand, it is said !
Va to be sin to weep for the =
n dead after the grass has :
@ grown over their graves, for :
every tear is said to bring a !
pang to them, and excessive
- grieving for them holds them +
"a to the earth atmosphere and :
"a keeps them from the rest Of :
p heaven.
p The Orientals in general
p look upon graveyards as
- "cities Of the silent" and be- y
- lieve that they are peopled y
~ by invisible spirits, each Of y

ROASTS THE MARRIED MEN

Since the first of the year but ten
men have been arrested and tried
for breaking city laws. Of the num-
ber five were single and five married
men. Judge Reeves states that rs
per cent of the offences tried in his
court are committed by married men.
From this it would seem that mar
ried life is not necessarily conducive
to the betterment of the morals of
the masculine sex

meet Joe Turner. the local middleweight
champion in finish bout Tuesday night
at the Lyceum Theater after the regular

lowed to use the toe hold, he easily
pinned the shoulders OF Joe Willis. the
champion OF Finland. to the mat in two
straight falls last night. The frst fall

Turner picked the Finlander from the
mat and dropped him. pinnng his
shoulders to the mat as he dropped.

Coumbe Saves Balls
He Pitches to Wins

CLEVELAND, June 10.-Fritz
Coumbe, the southpaw, who is
twirling fine ball for the Cleve-
land club this year, has a hobby.
1t is to save the last ball pitch
ed in each of his victorious
games.
He started the practice in 1914,
but when the season was over
he had only a pair to put in his
trophy case. Last year he
added five more, while this sea-
son he already has accumulated
one more than he did during
the entire 1915 campaign.
No sooner is the last out register
ed than Fritz makes a rush for
his teammate who handled the
ball last. AS rule it has been
Gandil, but in one game it was
Speaker, and Fritz chased out
beyond second base to meet
iris and gain possession of the
cork center. Then he inscribes
the score, opposing club, and
date.
