they cruised as midshipmen to the
West Indies, and after only a month
at home they went on long cruise 70
South Africa, Australia, the Fiji IL
lands, Greece. South America and
Egypt. Had It not been for his
brothers death, George would have
continued In the navy, but when he
became heir apparent he was obliged
to resign.

Why, IL used 10 be that a fellow'd see
The blue coats by the score.
A standing there on the public square
All talking about the war,
But today wander up and down
On the busy streets of the little
And there's hardly one to greet me
now
With a swift salute or courtly bow,
And a Hi there, Comrade, how's the
foIks?"
Then string OF merry yarns and
jokes:
Or a hearty clasp OF friendly hand
Just TO let me know. Il understand"
And It matters not what troubles
Here's loyal friend, old boy in
blue"
And on, twas sweet, when the Post
would meet,
To Sc the boys" acoTning.
A-swinging long 20 some army song.
Or whistIing and ahumming!
And it mattered not If the night was
hot,
Or cold the wind and weather.
You'd see them come 10 the fife and
drum.
All. we'd good old times together!
sut now we met with our faltering
feet
When the twilight shadows fall,
In the solemn gloom OF the old Post
room,
When we hear the bugle call
And a few old boys are always
there.
But now there's many a vacant
chair:
And we keep the camp fire burning
But Bob and Dick and Jim are gone!
And we speak in accents soft and low
OF the stirring scenes OF long ago.
For the boys have never seemed SO
gay
Since the last dear Comrade went
away.
And the stalwart forms we used to
see
Are fading fast into memory.
For, oh, the boys. the dear old boys,
The boys so true and brave,
Are lying low where our banners blow
Above each lonely grave:
And now in the evenings, cool and
damp,
No beacons burn in the silent camp
But the watchful stars their vigils
keep
Where our fallen comrades lie
asleep!

while much that has been devised as to

ish, who have been at work at the prob

American touch Is given, In that this
annual commemoration OF Decoration
Day, so familiar TO us all, Is new to

have gladly co-operated with the Amer

trys., notable enc and one Of general
and significant commemoration.
So fs,l az The general cemeteries 80,
we have followed the British In the

have gone a little further. In that each

by tall cross and plain altar stone,

of the monumental effect of the COM
memoration. nor will those who lie in
the smaller cemeteries or in the little
French churchyards be overlooked to-

This Is all as II should be. And quite
as those at home would wish 1T. And,
as has happened in the case Of the old
er celebrations. even tho this day
brings its fresh and deeper sorrows, at
the same time there must be felt every
where the comforting sense that the
country and those who have passed
away were equal TO their task in the
world crisis. 1t is but meet and proper,
therefore, that all should insist that
wherever they may lie each and all
who paid the final debt shall be mark
ed from among their fellows, dead and
living. by such seemly and ceremonial
observances as we have set up here for
generations and are now repeating
abroad. Respect and recognition for
what they did ana proper honors for
the hero dead lend dignity 10 the liv-

channels Of humanity that is not, as
is writ of the beasts of the fields,
without aim or hope but serves I'M

Murmuring Brook flows into Silver
Pond. and In this pond at night could
be heard the great chorus conducted
by Uncle Bulifrog's brother, Mr.. Jere-
miah Bullfrog. His whole family al
ways took part in tho concert. or
course there were many other ponds
where frogs held a nightly concert, but
this concert was remarkable on ac-
count of the leader; not that his voice
was so unusual, but he himself % out
OF the ordinary:
He weighed at least two pounds and
a half. and his wife, Mrs. Sally Bull
frog weighed at least two pounds. He
was mt least eighteen inches long. ana
his voice was like the chord OF great
organ much louder than Uncle Bull
frogs.
Now II you ask me how he came to
be so immense In size 1t was because
his ancestors came from the southern
states. He was certainly giant Just
as Cousin Brain seemed a giant to
little Jimmy Coon.
Little william was very eager to
catch Mr.. jeremiah Bullfrog, or at
least Mrs. Sally Bullfrog. but he never
could get very close and only could
catch a glimpse OF him when he wae
summing himself on a great log far
from shore.
Little Jimmy Coon thought 1t would
be a great adventure TO try his hand
