 Is it not high time for us to pause in our career of worldly conquests and calmly inquire whither it all leads? Better by far that a man should live in an abandoned wine cask like Diogenes, with thoughts pure and unsullied by the world s dross, than to live in a palace sur rounded by every luxury, with a nature dwarfed and brutalized by sensualism and the lust for wealth.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS

The Grand Army of the Republic holds Its annual , reunion in Indianapolis. Sept 25 to 2s.
 Later, in October. the United Confederate vete- rams gather at Chattanooga.
 It is tragic that these possibly will be the last reunions of the Boys in Blue and the Boys in Gray. Old age is sounding taps.
 The average age of the soldiers of the northern army during the Civil War was 2s In south 1t was lower. Fifty-six years have passed since Lee surrendered at Appomattox. So the of Civil War veterans must average 80 years.
 The G. A R was organized in 1866, with all the vigor and enthusiasm of the American Legion. In 1890 it reached its peak membership of 4os4ss.. In 1917 only 1s5ss1 members remained alive. Now they have dwindled to less than ss,ooo.
 The Boys in Blue are passing, their march into eternity. at so rapid pace that nine years hence the last one may be gone. That will be taps for a mighty army that had 277s.ooo enlistments and enlistments.
 The United Confederate veterans have dwindled to membership of only 45.oooan that Is left of the Confederate army of 64oooo an army valorous and efficient that 1t succumbed superior forces only after four years of conflict and starvation
 As the nation honors the Boys in Blue and the Boys in Gray 1t be comforting satisfaction for the old soldiers look about the powerful Union that has risen since the Civil War. The north honors the southern soldiers and the south honors the northern veterans. Time has welded the once opposing armies into indissoluble
 Our hats off to you, Boys of 61. you meet in Indianapolis and Chattanooga.
