DECORATION DAY

Flags and the band and marching
OF faithful veteran feet,
Fathers, young men and children
With voices shrill and sweet;
And Lincoln's spirit marching in every
shining line,
And Lincoln's peace and freedom lit with
the smile divine!
Flags and the band and marching
Banners that proudly wave,
May green upon the meadows
And on the soldiers grave;
The boys in blue are ashes meath the
lilacs on their sod,
But their souls are free forever with Lin
coin and with God!
Flags and the band and marching
And the drum-beats steady throb,
Pipe on above, o robin,
To drown a sudden sob!
The laurel wreath for heroes dead! And
cheer for all the brave
Who march with Lincolns soul today to
lberate and save!

SWITZERLAND READY TO
RESIST INVASION OF LAND
President Coppet Says that Crossing
of Salient Would Be the Signal
for Mobilization.

Paris.-Switzerland is prepared to
resist with all the forces at her COM
mand any invasion of her territory by
troops Of the belligerents, according to
an interview with President Camille
de Coppet, sent to the Journal by it's
Berne correspondent.
President de Coppet was asked spe-
officially what would be the action Of
Switzerland if troops Of one of the
warning powers would be sent across
the Porentruy salient. He replied:
"The federal council would never
tolerate such proceeding and in &C
cordance with the plans of General
Ulrich Willie, the commander in chief
of our army would order the immedi-
ate mobilization of all our forces,
which would Immediately be sent into
action.
"The Swiss army is in splendid con-
dition. 1t has reached perfection
of training which has been hitherto
unknown and has just received COM
plete equipment of new heavy artil-
lery, which was manufactured in
France and Germany by order of the
Swiss government"
The Porentruy salient juts into
France Immediately south of Alsace
The town of Porentruy is about 20
miles south of the great French fort
ress of Belfort. If German troops
were able to cross the salient they
could strike at the communications of
the whole French line from Verdun
to Alsace.

LITTLE LEFT OF
OLD APPOMATT0X

- OLDIERS Of 1865 who revisit
the town of Appomattox find
~ that the half-century which has
done SO much for their country
has done nothing for the hamlet made
famous by the great event Of Lees
surrender.
Indeed, the place has gone back
ward in fifty years. Its houses have
fallen into decay or have disappeared,
and it's fields have grown up to pine.
The village of Appomattox Court
house was never a considerable set
Element. Like many another county
seat in the South it had it's origin in
courthouse, Jail, a tavern, house
or two and blacksmith shop-a cen
ter to which the inhabitants Of rural
district could come at intervals to
transact legal business.
A visitor to Appomattox Courthouse
today-or "old Appomattox, as it is
now called in that neighborhood-m
be disappointed, unless he has the
faculty of visualizing the momentous
events that took place there, and near
there, in April, 1865.
The court building had then stood
there half a century. About 1890 it
was burned. Today the square in which
the old courthouse stood is covered
with the debris of the fire, but out of
the wreckage trees have grown up
as companions to those that shaded
the old courthouse before the fire.
The village that clustered around
the courthouse has nearly disappeared.

other house Is occupied by a small
farmer who has not dwelt long in that
part of the state.
The Surrender house, the Mclean
house, In which General Grant and
his staff met Lee and his military Sec
rotary, Is not there. 1t was a broad
fronted brick house with covered
porch across the front, with the en-
trance in the middle and hallway
through the center.
The house was torn down in 1892.
1t was proposed to reconstruct 1t at
the Worlds Fair in Chicago, but after
the demolition of the house the plan
was carried no further, presumably
for lack of funds. The piles of brick
and lumber that had been the house
are rotting in the garden. There has
been some talk of patriotic society
building the house on it's old site.
An interesting personal story goes
with the history of the Surrender
house. 1t was the home of William
Mclean, who had moved to Appomat-
tox from the vicinity Of Bull Run, to
avoid the scenes of war that DESTROYED

ing jumped from mayor to brigadier
general, the commission bearing date
the last day Of the battle, July 8.
The following year, August 18, at
the request of Grant, who had tested
him as the commander of the Army
of the Potomac from Culpeper to Pc
tersburg, in that long list Of battles In
the Wilderness, Spottyslvania, North
Anna, Cold Harbor and various en-.
gagements' at Petersburg and vicinity,
he was promoted to major general Of
the regular army. Though he never
uttered word of complaint, 1t is
known that his heart was made to
ache because he was not given the
rank of lieutenant general at the
time Sherman was promoted to gen.
eral, instead Of Sheridan, whose COM
mission as major general was is-
sued several months after his own
was received.

1861.
Mclean was farmer, then living in
a frame house near Manassas on the
road leading to Blackburns Ford, on
Bull Run July 10 the first fighting
between the troops of Gen. Irwin Nc
Dowell and Gen. g. T. Beauregard took
place at that ford, and General Beaure-
gard took up his headquarters in the
Mclean house. A shell from q Union
battery struck the house.
After the battle of Bull Run, July 81,
1861. Mclean and his family moved to
upper Fauquier county. He next moved
to Lunenburg county. War followed
him. Then, declaring that he would
take his family SO far from the fighting
grounds that war would not further
trouble them, he rented house in the
house the Surrender house.
The Mclean house near Manassas
long ago was ruin, but another house
near it, which Beauregard also used
as headquarters, Is often enormously
pointed out as the Mclean house.

Though the Appomattox Courthouse
village of the Civil war period has
practically disappeared, there is new
and thriving town called Appomattox,
which is now the county seat of Apo.
mattox county. 1t is three miles from
old Appomattox and is on the Nor.

During the Civil war there was q
siding on this railroad called Appomat-

OH, SAY, SKINNY!
NO MORE COLLARS
No New Jersey Teacher Has
Right TO Bar You From
School, Either

New York. Feb. S.--This coming
summer a New Jersey boy can be just
as frank as a Fifth avenue debutante
when 1t comes to showing his different
kinds of neck and collar bones.
Last summer Van Lear Turner and
Robertson Turner. of AIerchantville,
which is so near Camden, \. j., as TO
be no joke, went to school without col
lars-as one. might say. with their
shirts done to a V point. or as one
might go on to say, decollete.
From this school quickly hence were
they shunted by their teacher. Right
home for them. The immodest crea-
lures,
The board of education of the State
OF New Jersey took their rash conduct
under adVisement. Van Lear, ten, and
Robertson, thirteen, through their
father, Frank G.. L. Turner, pleaded
that the day they went collarless was a
day so hot that nobody in mercy
should have expected q dog to wear
one.
Their teacher, Miss Sarah NJ. Rog-
ers. had sent the boys home and the
State school commissioner had upheld
her action in refusing to allow the
lads to enter the classroom when their
mother sent them back. But the State
board took pity on these boys (and all
boys in June). for its report says:
Had the boys appeared in school
without shirts il would perhaps have
met the eXigencies of the hot weather
but would have been subversive of
discipline; but to say that they should
not come to school collarless is an un-
reasonable and unwarranted exercise
of power by the teacher"
