ing the Graves Of the Heroes

Memorial day. or Decoration day, as
1t was at first called. is said to have
really originated with some southern
women. In Columbus. Miss. soon after

graves of their loved ones who had
fallen only n few months before. they
strewed flowers not only on the graves
OF the Confederate soldiers. hut also
on those of northern soldiers-wh had
fallen In the same battles,
Three years after the war Gen
John A. Logan, commander Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. issued
an order In which he named May 90.
1868. ''for the purpose of strewing
with flowers or otherwise decorat-
ing the graves Of comrades who
died In defense Of their country,
and whose bodies lies In almost every
city. village or hamlet churchyard in
the land" The day is now legal
holiday In practically all states of the
Union, although all OF them do NOT
celebrate May 30. the date being ear
lier In some parts of the South. In
the South there is also separate me-
mortal for the soldiers OF the "Lost
Cause" nnd this Is called Confederate
Memorial day" In Louisiana II is

had captured him. will you be good

Certainly. Your telegram to Gen

door they mounted to a room used for
a telegraph Office, where they found a
clicking key, but no person present. A
woman's hat hung on peg. small
pair of feminine rubbers were on the
floor. and an umbrella with a mother
of-peari handle stood In a corner. A

sergeant stepped to the table and
the major read to him a message TO be
sent to General ]. f. b. Stuart, as fol-
lows:
''We have destroyed the bridge as Or
dered. and there Is no retreat for that
force Of the enemy encamped on the
other side. But the destroyed bridge
is only five miles in their rear. and II
they learn that 1t is down they may
slip away by another route. 1t may be
well. therefore. to move upon them as
soon as possible"
Put that in cipher" said the gen
eral, "and send it at once"
A reply to the message was received,
stating that two divisions would move
simultaneously from different points
on the federal force and a third would
occupy the position of the wrecked
bridge. All would move together by
sunrise. The major was instructed to
remain where he was till ordered away,
and be sure to hold the telegraph CON
nections.
The men bivouacked In the yard sur.
rounding the house. while the officers
awakened the occupants and secured
sleeping rooms. The major. to make
sure that no message of warning for
the enemy should be sent remained In
the telegraph office.
He had been on duty for several
days, with but few hours sleep.
There was lounge In the room. very
bulky and with a soft cushion. The
major locked the door and threw him
self on the lounge. He was so tired
that he found 1t difficult to go to sleep.
The key on the table kept clicking
with the usual words passing over the
wire, for the messages thai had been
sent from that Office having been in
cipher those controlling the line could
not know that the station was In the
hands OF the Confederates.
But what bothered the major was n
clicking which seemed TO he within the
lounge on which he lay. 1t appeared 10

seemed to click. But the major was so

Sc Wheat Break
On Heavy Selling
Follows Advance
Bullish Sentiment Causing
Rise Soon Checked by the
Weakness in Other Mar
kets; ExportDcmand Slow

The wheat market felt the influence
of the break in stocks and cotton as
we'll rs tho feeling of nervousness over
financial conditions which was preva-
lent in all the markets. Early in the
session prices were firmer on scattered
covering and owing to rather moro
bullish sentiment which had developed
i'll some quarters.
Selling became heavy, however, and
the market experienced a decline of
about s cents from the high of the day
and closed with net losses Of to 4Mc.
Reports from Chicago were interrupted
by prostrated wires, due to, the storm
Ct Tuesday night, and this also had a
tendency to interfere with export op-
erations, although there appeared to be
little demand here from abroad.
The December position in Chicago
sold at IL Vac over March, the greatest
premium so far experienced. This was
believed to be due to nervousness on
the part of December shorts, although
it was said that three beat loads of
Canadian wheat were en- route to Chi
cago, and it was also intmated that a
considerable quantity will shortly be
moved to that point from Minneapolis.
In the local market No. 2 red and No.

Wlth buying almost at a stand till

steel Corporation operations hold up
to 80 per cent or more, while independ-

cause free buying, and the period of
quiet may run some weeks into the new
year. TO get stocks down to their low
est before January 1 is the aim of all
users
Interest is centering in the prices
