PAID THE PRICE OF PEACE
First Thought That Should Inspire
Americans on Each Memorial
Day Anniversary.

II Memorial day emphasizes to the
American people one tact more than
any other, it is that the price of peace
is human life. Fifty years have passed
since Grant and Lee met at Appomat-
tox, during which period war debt of
billions has been practically paid, a
ravaged country wholly rehabilitated.
industry and commerce developed. and
wonderful achievements made in the
arts and sciences, all accomplished at
tremendous cost. Yet today the mil
lions paid, the tremendous effort put
forth, the great burdens then assumed,
count for less than the loss to the ma
ton in human life. Today, North and
South, only men, brave men, are
mourned as their graves are strewn
with flowers
1t sometimes seems that, in the rush
and roar of life. even the price of peace
has been paid without regret. But
life is discrimination. in hundreds of
thousands of homes there are faded
portraits, tattered uniforms. little re-
minders of a thousand scrts which in
quiet hour are again and again hap.
tized in tears, as they suggest per
sCnal loss, blasted hopes, destroyed
happiness, and still, these but quicken
memories that are ever with those
who really paid the price just as the
ceremonies and exercises today bring
back more wildly the partings, the
anxious days. the terrible news of so
years ago. In the very words Me
mortal day there is a wealth of mean
ing to some which those of the present
generation cannot understand as fully
as they should, to appreciate the sig
nificance Of observance of the day.
And yet, those Of the present gener-
alton have only to look across the At
lantic, and contemplate the carnage
a~d destruction there, to gain a better
appreciation q the price paid by this
nation before they were born. Figures
tell something, but hearts tell more
broken hearts which time cannot heal |
Let Imagination touch the sorrows of
the countless widows and orphans this
great war has made. let it reckon the |
of life dashed to ground, |
yes, buried beneath blood-soakec sod |
aad there will come some Conccp tion |
of 80 years ago in this country, and OF |
the significance of Memorial day ded- /
icated to the men who fought and |
died, constituted the real price of the .
peace this country has enjoyed for
half a century.

hesitatingly. Her sister is sick. ]
don't suppose you'd wait me to put
these over there"-he nodded across
the chain.
With a fierce look and without a
word Sarah Lewis snatched the bas-
ket from his hand and began to heap
the sprays of lilac en- the mound al
ready hidden beneath a wreath Of
blossoms, and then in silence they
went their way homeward.
David returned to his work in the
field, and all day long Sarah went
about her household tasks with COM
pressed lips.
1t was, indeed, discouraging to en-
deavor to bring up a son to an in
heritance Of patriotic hatred and then
have him refuse it!
1t was a tempestuous evening. The
sun disappeared in cloud bank and
soon it began to storm fercely. Dur
ing the night a hurricane dashed the
earth naercilessly and stripped the re-
naming blossoms from the orchard
trees.
At daylight it cleared and. after
they had breakfast, Peter and his
mother made their way to the church
yard to see what havoc the storm had
wrought. Peter bore with him
basket Of flowers gathered in antici.

AS they entered the gate they saw
Bessie Lynn and her mother passing
in almost beside them.

iron chains looped fTNm granite posts.
The graves of the two soldiers we're
almost side by side-rather less than
four feet apart, only the soft turf
and the sagging chain between.
This very proximity of the graves
was another drop in Sarah Lewis
bitter cup. Once an ambitious peri
winkle had crept from asa Lynn's
grave under the chain and had pro-
ceeded to establish itself directly over
the resting place of the other soldier.
Mary Lynn and her daughter had
discovered it and had left it untouched.
When Sarah discovered it she tore it
ruthlessly up by the roots and flung
1t contemptuously into the adjoining
lot.
So, in like manner, she had repealed
all the gentle advances Of Mary Lynn
and her daughter.
Early in the morning Sarah and
Peter carried great baskets of flow
ers to the churchyard. They heaped
the well-kept mound with sncwballs
and lilacs and blood-red sprays of
Japan ounce, not forgetting such a
liberal display of the national colors
as befitted the occasion.
But Asa Lynn's grave was bare save
for its green covering Of turf and the
blue-fowered periwinkle.
Peter had finished his task and was
gazing wistfully at the flowers still
remaining in his basket.
Mrs. Lynn and Bessie have been
called over to PlantsviIe." he said
