No. 4: Confederate Veterans of Flor

Comrades: It is with great pleas
ure that the commanding general of
the Florida Division United Confed

Miss Velma Maura, maid-of-honor,
Pensacola.
Miss Caroline Harris, maid-of-
honor, Ocala.
More than fifty years have inter
vened since the fatal morn at Ap-
pamattox, when the said requiem of
the Confederacy was mournfully
heard; its flag, torn and battle
SCARED, was furled, and its vivid and
illuminating history was cOmmitte I
to its surviving defenders to be old
in song and story, and repeated
around the camp fires at our annual
reunions.
In those fifty years the strength
Of their manhood has waned, but with
hair grown gray and eyes grown dim,
they can proudly recount the achieve
ments that made their leadership and
following the wonder of the world
In these thrilling "reminiscences
none occupy so bright a page as
those whom we affectionately term
the "Mothers of the Confederacy"
We remember with affection their
fidelity and devotion; we remember
as if it were but yesterday their pre-
sentation Of Bible, flags and bouquets
in order to stimulate our valor; we
remember how their prayers and
tears, like hallOwed incense, followed
us on our fateful marches; likewise
we remember their offering of every
material thin gthat love could sug
gest or ingenuity devise to lighter
our fatigues, forgetful of self, if only
we might have strength to do bat
tie.
Their sublime sacrifices and IN
daunted courage make us proud Of
I our race and lineage, so let each one

"Thair Southland shall ever shine,
Their fame shall reach from cline to
cline;
Their victory won, their royal line
Shall live in history"
We could have had peace in 1850
without resort to arms by tamely
5urrendering q constitutional right,
lat to have done so we would not
have won the plaudits of our own or
other nations, and would have been
wanting in our own self-respect, and
the memories which cluster so bril-
Eantly around US. and are so precious
to US as people, we should not be
celebrating.
There is not an American patriot
who does not rejoice in the fact that
we settled our sectional dispute Just
as we did, and selected to de as our
fathers had done before us.
Had we done otherwise there would
always have existed conflicts and ir-
ritatior, and the nation could ncvel
have been welded together as we hap
PLY find it today.
We, therefore, thank the God of
battles that these bonds, because of
our resistance and courage, have been
welded together as otherwise would
have been impossible, and are CON
stantly growing stronger and give
promise never again to be broken.
We meet at the nations capital at
a most exciting and interesting epoch
in its history. We shall End the city
aglow with patriotic ARR. The Ma
tons flag and the flag Of the Con-
federacy will float in unison, their
folds mingling one with the other
giving forth a sublime spectacle of
the complete reconciliation of the
sections, the firm cementing of the
Union, a proclamation that the
"bloody chasm" has been bridged.
and now henceforth and forever, the
nation is one and inseparable."
The commanding general feels it
unnecessary to ask that his sponsoriaI
staff shall be paid respectful hom-
age.
Their presence on these happy oc-
| casi0ns lends grace and dignity to
these gatherings and their influence
sheds a halo over them as a benedio-
ton.
By order,
ALFRED AVER,
Major-General commanding.

IF in the sheltering circle Of my arms

Yet for the sake Of that beloved

Of whom my dream is ever, night

Teach me the mother spirit, tender,
mild,
That from no childish need can
turn away.
And if the love that had held so sure
Grow dim and distant till it vanish
quite,
Grant me that changeless love that
shall endure
Strong and sufficient for earth's
darkest night.
Take from my heart all bitterness
and pain,
Until these futile, selfish strivings
cease;
Use Thou the life I should but spend
in vain,
And in the joy of service grant me
peace.

WOULD
BUILD MONUMENT
MONTANA TRAIL-BLAZERS PRO.
POSE TO ERECT STATUE TO
LEWIS AND CLARK.
Design of Group to be Set Up at Point
Where Famous Expedition Cele-
brated the Fourth of July for First
Time West of the Mississippi River
in 1905.

Frank j. Brown, historian of the
Society of Montana Pioneers, states
that the trail blazers of the Treasure
state wish to make sure that, before
| they all have passed away, suitable
manument shall be erected in Mon
tana to Lewis and Clark as a memori-
al forever of the epoch making trip
made through the west 10 years
ago which first brought the American
people in touch with the vast empire
lying between the Mississippi river
and the Pacific ocean, and the form
of monument suggested is a heroic
bronze group of Captains Lewis and
Clark, and the woman guide, Sacaja-
Wea.
The Montana Pioneers, some of
them extremely wealthy men, have
agreed to furnish considerable sum
toward the placing of such a monu-
ment in Montana, and the point
named for it's location is the Lewis
and Clark camp at the mouth of Sun
river, where the expedition held the
first Fourth of July celebration west
of the Mississippi river on that date
in 1905.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture an appropriation was made of
$40 900 for two Lewis and Clark
monuments, one at Great Falls and
the other at Three Forks. This ap-
preparation is far too small to make
monument that would be fitting at
either place, and Mr.. Brown, Paris
Gibson and others have interested
themselves in raising a sum of from
$50, 900 to $4,000 or more, for the
purpose of putting up a really fitting
group of statuary in imperishable
bronze.
Charles M. Russell, the cowboy
artist, has made sketch of group
for reproduction in bronze for this
purpose, and this has been very
greatly admired by those who have
seen it. 1t represents the two cap
tains, standing on an eminence, look
ing westward, with the Indian wom-
an slightly below them, pointing the
trail. It seems particularly desirable
that the work should be done by a
Montana sculptor.
The Lewis and Clark party made
their longest stop in the vicinity of
Great Falls, spending month while
Sacajawea, who had been i'll, re-
gained her health at the sulphur
springs near the Great falls. They
also made careful survey of the
various falls and mapped the whole
region. Their maps have been found
by modern engineers to be extremely
accurate.
