Aunt Maggie has flowers hauled to
the cemetery in wagonloads, and she
knows the location of every grave on
Woodlawn hill "NoW here is basket
of flowers for the Jap Burson lot;
you know where it is, right over there
by the NicklesCn monument. Take
these over" Aunt Maggie says to a
member of her committee, "for good
ness knows the poor dears will have
no one to remember them today, and
Kit Burson never neglected anybody
when she was with rs.
And while Aunt Maggie and her
committee are scattering flowers on
every neglected grave, there is a
stream of people coming and going,
with their offerings Of love
Well, it is day of revival ofemem-
cries worth while, a recalling of old
friends who were worth recalling.
You pass by and read the names on
the stones, and you get glimpse Of a
year that has gone forever, and yet,
here some one at this grave scatter
ing flowers whose life is linked with
that other year. And in some way
that life ard that year touched you
for some lasting influence. For in the
old home town no man liyeth unto
himself and no man dieth unto him
self.
It is that picture that drives your
thoughts back to the old home towns
everywhere, for all old home towns
are alike. The day will be the same in
the one as in the other.
1t is the memorial day of nation;
it is the memorial day for the COM
munity; it is the memorial day for the
home. 1t does not belong to any one
city, or state, or section, for now,
thank God, no Mason and Dixon line
divides the day between the North
and the South. In the South wher-
ever once blue clad soldier rests, his
grave is decorated along with the
graves of those who wore the gray. Ut
is day to be observed, IAN holy day
forever in all your generations.

SCHOOL FOR NURSES
At Milwaukee is Relieving
Pressing Demand for
Trained Nurses.

Young women who desire to become
nurses and who have not the neces-
sary high school credits to enter the
regular training schools will be inter-
ested to know that the public cannot
dispense with that impulse of theirs
toward nursing. The Bureau Of Home
Nursing, 808 Jackson street, Milwau-
kee, gives a six months course of
training to all such applicants, and
the support and interest OF the public
in this school will help relieve the
nursing situation. The bureaus SUI
perintendent, Mrs Frances Smith,
has just returned from the nurses
convention in Atlanta and from the
national conference of social workers
in New Orleans. The work of this
cadette nursing service received much
attention, for the shortage of trained
nurses is acute everywhere. Mrs.
Smith quotes DR.. e. X. Peterson,
head of the national headquarters of
the American Red Cross at Washing
ton, D. G. He stated that many lives
might have been saved and far more
efficient service might be rendered
during epidemics if the work of ca
dette nurses was developed. The
trained registered nurses could be
employed to supervise The work of
the cadette nurses and thereby great
ly relieve the pressing situation. More
and more cities are becoming inter-
ested in the training of this nursing
service. Grand Rapids will send rep
resentative here shortly to study the
Bureau of Home Nursing for the pur-
pose of organizing similar training
school.
The work is winning the approval
of the people of Milwaukee as well
as the medical profession. Last month
126 calls were received for nurses
The course of training is particularly
interesting this spring, for in addi-
tion to the regular courses, additional
work is given by DR.. Egan in conta-
gious diseases; by DR.. Baer in massage
and therapy; by DR.. Leifert in obstet-
RIGS and by DR.. Strais in practical
medicine. Many calls come in during
the month from the physicians of
Milwaukee, showing that they sup
port and need the nursing service.

what Is . PeddIer7

The word peddler is derived from
an old English word, ped" as in
Spencer's "Shepheards' Calender" "a
bask is wicker ped wherein they use
to carry fish," It has no connection
with the Latin pedis, q foot. as often
reported. peddler is, therefore. one
with ped. basket. or pack. and 1t has
been held in law, one who has the iden-
teal article he sells in his ped" 1t
is, simply speaking, incorrect, there
fore, to call an itinerant merchant
who simply takes orders for goods
bought from seeing samples he car.

Chinese in Java.

The standard of living is probably
higher in Java than any other Cnlnese
community in the world. The houses
are clean and well furnished, the peo-
pie dress in European clothing, ana
every one has great deal to say
about dirt and sanitation. There are
Chinese families in Java which nave
been there for five centuries. but the
great majority Of the 100000 who live
on the island have come there OF
are descended from those who came
there In the last fifty years.

Canine AItruism.

The dog is not only social animal,
but has the rudiments, at least, OF
altruism. / once saw dog jump into
a river and swim down to another and
younger dog, which had been swept
along by the current and who was try
ing in vain to make a landing where
the bank was steep and slippery. At
every attempt his claws slipped; ne
was losing his head; he was growing
weak. The older dog pushed him
downstream to a safe landing, then
went on about his business, as II 1t
were mere detail.-American Maya

Remarkable Meteor.

Numerous observations of the bril-

1t had the long horizontal flight of
B35 miles from over point of twen-
ty miles northeast of York, England,
to thirty miles southwest Of st.
Valery, France, according to the Sci
entific American. 1t travelled at a
speed of about thirty-three miles q
second and its average altitude was
seventy-four miles.

RulIdino Character.

It's folly to build with neutral ma

with God and cooperation with ones

sire to be considered clever who dare
to assume positions that throw them

They may conjure up cute-soundlng
phrases trimmed to capture ltcnlhg

dangerous to vent wholesale disaster
upon those of other faiths. II men

Hairy Elephants.

Historians tell US that, in prehis-
toric. times, mighty mastodons and
mammoths were covered from head
to tail with very coarse hair which,
in many cases, grew long So the ele-
plants forefathers had long hair but,
as the world changed with regard to
weather conditions, from the bitter.
frosty glaciers that were encountered
to the modern climate of extreme heat
and cold, the elephant gradually
dotted his overcoat. The hair some-
times seen on the top Of his head
alone remains as reminder.

FAT AND LEAN.

The hearing will come up before the
Public Utilities Commission in Chica-
20 tomorrow Of the question as to
whether or not the Northern Illinois
Light & Traction company will be al
lowed to abandon that part Of their
road north of the Rock Island tracks.
Representatives OF OttaWa's CONNER
cial and most of the civic organi2a-
tons will be present to assist the
mayor and council in fighting the
proposition. They see no justice in
the road being allowed to separate
the fat from the lean and operating
only such portions Of the road as
show Il profit While the north end
of the road is probably not paying
I proposition at all times, It is part
OF the line for which the franchise
was granted and it was assumed that
so long as the road was operated that
portion would he. People have bought
property and built homes up In that
section of the city on the basis OF
having str(h car service. Others
have rented houses up there when
they would have hesitated to do so
if they had to walk at all times. To
abandon that portion of the road
would cause large pecuniary loss to
property owners of that district and
'fwould be- unfair to those people.
q The street car people have from
OF their road and caused inconven
Il fence and some property depreciation
sand now the city feels it is time to
.call a halt. The people generally can
mot undeiNtand why poor-paying
fsportion of a system should be cut
of while only the big paying portions
are held.
n The contention is also made that
III as the same people own both the cleo
@tiic light and power system and the
street railway system to require
them to operate the few blocks north
OF the Rock Island tracks, as proyidr
ed for in the franchise, would work
no great hardship upon them There
is no claim that the electric light and
#power service don't pay.
The meat in the cOcoanut, however
is that the Northern Illinois Light 4
Traction Co. do not want to spend the
money for local improvements they
will shortly be called upon to pay
1t probably will be- "A hardship, Just as
it will be hardship for some owners
,sof private property to pay their as
sessments, and as it has been a hard
ship for other property owners to pay
for paving, sewers, etc.

company merely because they are a
