Another boy, answering

Country to defend her honor

Orable price. Those un-

ness and the purity of our
womanhood rests upon the
foundation built by the sac

our whole national web and

avoiding the crushing blow
Of deceptive savagery, of

Of the milestones we have to

bank Of Loreauville returned
to his native, sacred soil,
silent and cold in death. con-
secrating the cause which
demanded it's victim, is one
of those which sacrifice has

poor substitute for life; in

But on a horizon. from afar

mist and fog. the lustre Of
the star of hope, to open for
the mothers redemption and
salvation. a resting place Of
honor and glory, marked by
