IN GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE
Of Sacrifices for Human Rights Memorial Dogs Are Largely Attended
Memorial Exercises i'm Schools.

Friday afternoon, May 9th, as is
their custom on the Friday preced-
ing Memorial Day, the Veterans of
the G. A. r., together with their Sis
ters of the w. r. c., marched to the
Fourth ward school building where
patriotic exercises were held.
From the time the guests were
met at the entrance to the grounds
by two hundred children lined up on
either side of the walk waving Amer
lean flags and singing patriotic songs
of welcome, until the close of the
afternoons program the soldiers
were made to feel how dear place
they hold in the hearts of Mineral
Point school children.
''Never before have the exercises
been so good as this year." was the
verdict of those present. This was
in part due to the work of the phys
ical training department, which was
this year installed into our public
school system and which showed in
the drills, marches, happy faces, and
active bodies of our children.
Every thing on the program was
good, but the drill presented by Sec
ond grade boys, also the solos of Earl
Hoare and Helen Lang wre pro-
nOunced out of the ordinary for
school children SO young. The ad-
dresses of Comrades Humbert and
Spensley were greatly enjoyed by the
children.

Mrs. Samuel Wearing.

Elizabeth Ann Wearing was born
in Dodgeville, Wis, July 27, 1859,
and died at her home in Mineral
Point, May 20, 1921.
She went to Linden with her par
ents where she spent childhood and
young womanhood.
She was united in marriage to
Samuel Wearing on May 2, 1880.
They moved to Mineral Point in
1891, where they made their home
ever since.
: To this happy union thirteen chill
dren were born; twelve of whom are
living. One child died in infancy.
She leaves her husband Samuel and
six sons and six daughters: Mrs. T.
w. Murray of Darlington, Mr.. Theo-
dore Wearing of Milwaukee, Clar-
ence of Platteville, Mrs. Gertrude
Kirkpatrick of Mineral Point, Mrs.
Ray Bachelor of Mineral Point,
Samuel of milwaukee,, Mrs. Wayne
Martin Of Madison, Mrs. L. r. Boone
of Forth worth, Texas, Mrs. E.
Ruskel of Mineral Point, Garnet of
Mineral Point, Richard of Milwaukee
and Fred of Mineral Point. Besides
these she leaves an aged father and
six brothers and two sisters; and also
fifteen grandchildren and many
friends and neighbors to mourn her
loss.
In every calling and walk in life
woman's helpful influence has been
felt, but in the home she shines as
star and reigns as queen. God made
her to be mans helpmate, and she,
who passing we record was indeed a
helpmeet to the man whose name she
bore. She was a good mother to
more than her own, and to them all
of the time. She did her full share
of the worlds work.
She was a member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church and maintain
ed a strong faith in our Lord and
Master. Her passing was a splendid
witness to the comfort and peace of
trust in Jesus. AS the end drew
near she raised her eyes and heart
to Him and said with outstretched
arms Lord, Lord" and after a slight
pause said "He has came" and pass
ed away to her home beyond. We
are reminded of Browning's words
in his dramatic Lyric "Saul'-O, Saul
it shall be. A face like to my face
that receives thee, A man like to me,
Thou shalt love and be loved by for
ever; a hand like this hand, Shall
throw open the gates of heaven to
thee! See the Christ Stand!
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. John Birrell on Tuesday at
200 p. m. Burial was in Graceland.

Church Sunday, May 10Th.

large congregation greeted the
Geo. H. Legate Post and Corps, es-
corted by goodly numbers of the
American Legion at 10 o'clock a. m.
They were met at the entrance by a
company of little girls in white car
rying American flags and as the vet
Grams entered scattered flowers in
their pathway. The church was
beautifully decorated with potted
plants and the American colors. The
address by Father O'Reilly, pastor,
was eloquently patriotic. He eulo-
gized the Civil war veterans of 81
and '65 for their stand for the prin-
ciples of true freedom established by
our fore fathers and emphasized by
their sacrifice upon the call of the
immortal Lincoln. He urged the Leg
ion to stand firmly upon those same
priciples, which they so nobly de-
Tended during the late world war.
The musical part of the service was
greatly appreciated by those present.

WAR "REMINISCENCES OF THE

presided over the destinies of the
French general staff during the Battle
of the Marine, and who prepared the
simple but abundant menu that Mar

at very irregular hours.

talent then one pities poor General

one of the most amusing incidents
related by the chef is that on Septem-
Der IL, when it became clear that the
enemy was in full flight northward
and that the battle was won. congrat-
ulations were in order and he received
instructions that the menu for the
Z er should be as much of a ban

Just as the meal was about to be
completed a British Automobile came
up to headquarters with a basket of
champagne as a token of congratula-
ton to the French staff. 1t came from

was just getting ready to serve it when
he noted that the bottles bore a Ger

Many of the dreadful deeds recently

Fleming is determined not to have 1t
