Day for Introspection.

Americans could not these days do
better than with their own
past and make the acquaintance of
the nations heroes. The memory Of
the boy who died at Shiloh, or mt
Chateau Thierry is worth more to the
nation than all the teaching of all the
cubist social reformers. For those
boys did something, set an example,
and built their lives into the life Of
the country. Unknown their names
may be, but they are immortal, and
their sacrifice is part Of the inherit
ance of every American, and should
be precious. We found America in
the environments and on the battlefield,
and not in a dirty Bohemia. Surely,
Memorial day will carry some such
message as this to every loyal heart
and every cl%ear-thinking mind. It
ought to be reverently observed, with
a grateful sense Of Gods mercies to
this land which has meant, and still
means, so much to the world. "Thank
Cod" said Daniel Webster in his
speech on the completion Of the
Bunker Hill monument, IL also
am an American"

The late Fl. B. Irving once told in
Philadelphia a story about his ia
TIERS performance of Sardou's "Robes-
pierre" He said:
1.-TWO dear old ladies sat In their
stalls at the Lyccnm, waiting for
'Robespierre' to begin.
"tBy the way, who IA Robes

"'Why, don't you know said the
second old lady. He's the nan who
was murdered in his bath by Marie
Corelli.'
"'Oh, no, my 0ear!' said the first
old lady. THAT can't be right, for
Marie Corelli is still alive. / remem-
her who it was, now. 1t was Char.

Then, at the end Of the story Mr..
Irving added:

gested the "arlnfuls of flowers" was
not forgotten by John Redpath. AS he
went about his work during the next
few days he thought of it often, and
finally a beautiful plan grew in his
mind.
He would set apart a day when all
the graves in the soldiers cemetery
would be decorated with flags and
flowers.
At that time Charleston was still I'M
der military rule and was governed by
Colonel Woodford of the Union army.
John Redpath went to Colonel Wood
ford and told him about the plan, ask
ing him to appoint the day a military
and civil holiday. The date decided
upon for the decoration was May l.,
and on that day over 10000 men,
women and children were present at
q memorial service. and then marched
to the cemetery. where the children
dropped flowers Of the graves while
everyone sang patriotic songs.
Such was the first Decoration day.
From that time on the custom of
decorating all the graves of the SOL
diers on one day grew to be popular.
The custom OF decorating the graves
Of the dead soldiers did much to wipe
away the bitterness felt between the
people of the North and South. Fran

John Redpath lived to be an old
man, and saw the custom that he
founded become one of the most pleas

life he founded the Redpath Chautau-

has been the means of giving enter

and thousands of people.-Utica Globe.

In the early part of April, 1865, q
named John Redpath vas acting
as superintendent of schools in the
city of Charleston, s. G. John Red
path was a newspaper reporter with
the Northern armies during the Civil
war, and had been with General Sher-
man on his march to the sea. sending
out the first newspaper report Of the
surrender Of the city of Charleston.
He was a man very much interested
in education; that was why he was
trying to better school conditions,
which, after four years Of the Civil
war. we're very bad. There was n
school in which he was particularly
Interested, which was conducted in an
old church.
AS he walked to this school one
morning he went past a place that
had been famous as a race course,
but was now used as a cemetery for
the soldiers who had died in battle.
He looked ove the fence of the ceme-
terry, and it made his heart sad to see
he way the graves of the brave men
were neglected. He wished that some
thing might be done for them.
When he reached the school he ad-
dressed the children, telling them that
1t made him unhappy to see the badly
cared-for graves, and asking them to
try to find time to gather a few wild
flowers for the cemetery.
"We1l gather armfuls Of posies, and
just hide the graves from sight-st

The Day of the G A. r.

If there is anything in Memorial day
it lies in preserving the traditions of
a mighty host in blue that marched
to do the work of the nation.
If there is anything in loyalty, in
patriotism, in hope of the future, it
lies in assuring every man, woman
and child Of the gratitude of the re-
public.

1t matters not whether their
bodies are here or in France, it
is their Memorial day, and the
American people pause from
their activities to pay them trib-
ute, together with the dead of
other wars. Some day per-
haps, it will be possible to place
flowers upon the graves of all
of u men who fell in the
great fight. But wherever they
rest these men will be honored
by the people of the whole
country and Memorial day now
takes on a new significance
greater than in its inception.
Perhaps some time the lands of

tom and establish May 80 as
the day of commemoration of
gallant deeds and ursel6sh

Memorial day is observed as a me-

war or those who fell during the war
with Spain. 1t is observed for all
these and for the thousands who went

returned. Hallowed is the ground
where they rest, whether they be the
old soldiers or the new.

NO LUCK OR CHANG

By Chas. P. Wilson.

In all the universe there can be nc
such thing as chance. Nothing mere
ly happens. Every moment, every
expenditure of energy, every thought
is governed by natural law. Every
cause must have a certain definite
effect. modified, of course, by all sub
siciary causes.
There is no such thing as luck,
good o n bad. Back Of every piece OF
good fortune lies the causes that we
ourselves have somewhere created,
perhaps unconsciously, perhaps in a
previous life. Behind every particle
of ill-fortune likewise lies the enegy
that we ouselves have geneated. We
make on own sunshin and shadow,
health and disease, fiends and foes,
heaven and hell, and If a nan eally
caps as he lows he has only himself
to blame If the havest be thistles in
stead of figs. 1t at once becomes
clea that misfortune can no longe be
called "the visitation of God" and e.

chaged up to Satan.

manly mar esires to be a self-reliant
being with neither the desire nor

Bridage Chaplain of Missouri.
6. Mess will be under the supervi-
sion of Colonel Chas. A. Mills, Assist

Each officer and Sir Knight will
provide himself with soap, towels, one
pillow two sheets, two blankets,
comb and brush, lantern and one small
wash pan. The weather in Kansas
City is delightful at this time of the
year and none need fear heavy rains,
cold nights or heavy falls of dew, the
same to the detriment of good and
public comfort. The grounds will be
brilliantly lighted with electric lights
and a force of employees present at
all times to render service desired.
All companies attending the En-
campment will provide themselves
with n large galvanized pail, one
Ratchet and one rake, one large shovel

the "Star Spangled Banner" and
"Stars and Stripes Forever" Each
leader will provide his band with full
scores of these two national airs.
1 also wish to call attention of all
officers to saluting the colors. This
is a military duty as well as a display
of loyalty and it is hoped ne officer
will so far forget himself as to pass
the colors at the color line or allow
the colors to pass his position in line
of duty without saluting the same.
