In memory Of our dear grand
father, Milton Nicholson, who died
May rs, 1916.
It's hard. so hard, to think, dear
grandpa,
That you have left us, when you
know we loved you so,
It's hard, so hard, to speak the word
that we will see you here no
more.
Thy gentle voice now is hushed, thy
warm, true heart is still,
And on thy old and innocent brow is
resting deaths cold chill;
Thy hands are clasped upon thy
breast; we have kissed thy
lovely brow,
And with aching hearts we realize
we have no grandpa now.
Dear grandpa, thou art resting in thy
lone and silent grave,
While we're left here to mourn and
Yet In Jesus, as thou didst, we will
also fall asleep,
Thou are gone, our dear old grandpa,
and twas hard to give you up,
But as Jesus did, we all must drink
the bitter cup.
How we miss you at the table, and in
your room so quiet and still,
There Is chair, vacant chair, the
cruel world can never fill.
Dear grandpa, we'll not forget you,
while through this world we
roam
And DER your grave we'll plant sweet
roses, until we are called to
thee at home

We proudly recall the fact that we
marched nearly 5000 miles through
the country Of an enemy alien to us
in race and language, and performed
no act to wound the modesty OF wo-

march, and no matin hymn or vesper
bells were silenced by our coming.

victorious war? 1t acquired for us

At that time Mexico had regular
army Of $4,000. and had called into
the field an additional force, chiefly
volunteers, of nearly 100000 men.
Col. Murphy reviewed the details
OF some Of the later battles to show,
he said. the tricky act Of Gen. Santa
Ana in using a flag OF truce and
messenger to Gen. Taylor for the
purpose OF giving his army time to
escape the Americans, at tho Rancho
Bpuena Vista. Gen. Scott, too, later
found that Santa Ana had violated
al armistice OF 20 days, fortifying
his position and reinforcing his army.
Speaking of the final battles of that
war and the taking Of the City Of
Mexico, Col. Murphy recalled these
impressions made upon him at the
time:
at was no holiday war. It was re-
plete with toilsome marches, with
blistering and bleeding feet, through
hot sands under a tropical sun, over
jagged rocks and snowy mountain
ranges, where horses and riders per-
ished with cold and exposure. It
abounded with namless tragedies,
both in bloody fields, near many a
smoking gun, and in the deep gloom
of fever-stricken hospitals.
"In the memorable war of two
years we fought 20 battles and en-
gagements without the final loss o. a
single gun or an American ensign.
Engaged always against heavy odds,
we bore the honor of our great re-
public triumphantly on our ever-ad-
vancing swords and bayonets.
II must not forget to mention that

could raise an army of a million in
short time.
That is, he could dignity such an
aggregation of poverty and incompe-
tence by the name OF army" for, as
correspondent writes, they will not
hesitate to arm, with any weapons
they can procure, and the wives Of
the peons--even 12-year-old girls
will be made to fight.
Such an army, composed for the
most part, Of rags and misery, is
characteristic of the followers of
Mexico's revolutionary leaders. The
starved peon. given horse and
gun and the prospect Of a town to
loot, has been ready at all times to
help make trouble for his country.
The Louisville Courier-Journal,
quoting from special correspondent
of the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
gives striktling picture OF this
worse than Falstaffian crowd in which
the peon figures as "the OK for the
front, who does not bid his wife
goodbye" but orders her to follow
'and bring along the children, the
dog and the cooking utensils" Here
IS the picture:
THE wives Of soldiers follow the
camp and do the cooking. They make
the long marches over mountain and
desert with as great endurance as is
displayed by the men. Babies are
born by the roadside and mothers
with their day-old infants at their
breasts pick up their burdens and
strike out to catch the vanishing COL
umns. "A feature Of the advance
and the retreat is the number Of dead
women along the line of march, but
they never complain. They fight by
the side Of their men, frequently,
and the bodies of women are found
among the heaps Of the slain after
battle.'"
And thus the revolutionary armies
have marched and fought, led by in
cendiary bandit generals in the inter-
necine strife which has made such a
red record for Mexico. "An equipped
army in Mexico seems to mean an
armed rabble, composed of Indians
and mixed bloods, accompanied by
their squaws." But, it is added: 'It
does not follow that they cannot
fight"
Such fighting as it is-guerrilla
warfare, from first to last.
1t Is no wonder that the dense,
down-trodden peon cannot see the
light and recognize the helping hand,
with reckless leaders ever ready to
infame his clouded understanding.
The lesson of Cuba alone, in what
the United States has done to place
that country on its present basis OF
freedom and prosperity, should long
since have been enlightening to the
Mexican mind; but it has been so
trained to suspicion and mistrust Of
the most unselfish motives that light
itself is as darkness to it.
The lesson will strike home in
time. 1t may be through channels
this country has been earnestly seek
Ing to avoid; but it will be certain
and salutary-at first a bitter lesson,
but soon to be recognized as the her
aid of brighter down for q storm
rocked, oppressed people.
