surrounded by wall, or rather
what remains of a wall. II is a
small village of just one street with
houses on each side. On the top of
the hill is church and church yard.
The church is very old and is in
ruins. 1t is built of stone and has a
tower, on the top of which is a statue
of Joan of Arc, with sword held in
her right hand. extended in the air
above her head and in her left hand

A Living Monument to -.. CIV
Our Dead Heroes

Memorials in cold stone with their
allegorical figures are not enough to
perpetuate the memory of our dead

the beliefof the citizens of Clarinda

Twenty-one French war orphans
make up that living monument one

humanity. The public spirited men
and women of that town will care for
these little French orphans with this,
fund paying for their support thru
the American branch of the Fatherles
Children of France, an organization
cooperating with similar one of
which Marshal Joffre is head, to care
for the little French children left
Fatherless through the havoc of war.
There are 10000 French war or
phans still unplaced on the list of tn
American organization. Three boil
lars month, or ten cents day will
support one of these children. The
Clarinda citizens have paid for each
child adopted" $36.50 for years
support with the intention of repeat
ing the sum annually until the child
is capable of caring for itself. This
+ small sum supplements an equal am
cunt paid annually by the French Go
vermont to each war orphan and, tiny
through it is, provides for the childs
support.

Oh with its cheerful summer sports

as seen 10, Bret Ha,-te.

Had led our patriot sires:
Whose face was turned to the sleep
ing camp,
Afar through the rivers fog and damp,
That showed no flicker, nor waning
lamp,
Nor wasted bvouac firea
And ] saw phantom army come,
With never a sound Of fife or drum,
But keeping time to a throbbing hum
OF wailing and Iamentation.
The martyred heroes of Malvern Hill,
OF Gettysburg and chancellorsvilie,
The men whose wasted figures I'LL
The patriot graves of the nation.
And there came the nameless dead
the men
Who perished In fever swamp and fen,
The slowly starved of the prison pen;
And, marching beside the others,
Came the dusky martyrs of Pillows
fight,
With limbs enfranchised and bearing
bright;
! thousht-perhaps It was the pale
They looked as white as their
brothers!
And so all night marched the Nations
dead,
With never a banner above them
spread,
Nor a badge, nor a motto brandished; /;
No mark-save the bare uncovered
OF the silent bronze Reviewer;
With never an arch saved the vaulted
sky;
With never flower save those that lie
On the distant sraves-for love could
buy
No gift that was purer or truer.
So all night long swept the strange
array,
So all night long till the morning gray
| watched for one who had passed
away,
With reverent awe and wonder
Till blue cap waved in the Ienath'ning
line,
And knew that one that was kin of
mine
Had come; and spake-and 10! that
sign
Awakened me from my slumber.

THE FLAG OF OUR COUNTRY
Henry Ward Beecher's Eloquent Trib-
ute to the Majesty of the
Stars and Stripes.

A thoughtful mind, when 1t sees
nations flag, sees not the flag only, but
the nation itself, and, whatever may
be it's symbols, its insignia, it reads
chiefly in the flag the government, the
principles, the truths, the history
which belong to the nation that sets
1t forth.
This nation has banner, and wher-
ever it streamed abroad men saw day
break bursting on their eyes, for the
American flag has been the symbol of
liberty, and men rejoiced in it. Not
another flag on the globe has such an
errand or went forth upon the sea car
rying everywhere the world around
such hope for the captive and such
glorious tidings. The stars upon 1t
were to the pining nations like the
morning stars of God. and the stripes
upon it were the beams of morning
light. And wherever the flag comes
and men behold 1t they see in Its sa-
cred blazonry no rampant lion and
fierce eagle, but only light. and every
fold significant of liberty.
Let us then twine each thread of the
glorious tissue of our country's flag
about our heartstrings, and, looking
upon our homes and catching the spirit
that breathes upon us from the battle
fields of our fathers. let us resolve,
come veal or woe, we will in life and
death stand by the Stars and Stripes.
Henry Ward Beecher.
The Colorado statesman., 1919-05-31
1auoht Lesson of Patrlotlsm.

What the men of '61 did for their
country, what it is the duty of every
patriot to do in case of need. has been
set forth by men before whom the
memory of the past rises like dream.
The examples of the heroes who when
titan forces struggled for the over
throw of the Union went forth to
battle for its preservation and over
came all its foes and handed down
the precious heritage of liberty under
the aegis of the Constitution. for the
blessing of those who followed. is
still revered and has the potency of
inspiring exalted patriotism in the fu.
ture.
