ing. Whose. nobody knew. None
Of kin came TO comfort him in his
last hours; none to claim his body.
That young man was a world
war veteran. Beyond that fact his
history was obscure. So far as is
known. he came to this city penni-
less and friendless sickened and was
taken TO the hospital. He died
without anyone visiting him from
whom any knowledge could be gain
ed as to his family connection or
former home. He had an honor
able discharge as a soldier in the
late war and this guaranteed him a
burial as becomes an American son
who had fought for his country.
The American Legion did not wait
TO ascertain his social standing or
his rating in life. Here was a
brother who had died away from
home and far from friends. and IL
answered the question. Is he not af-
ter all my brother?'
Because Of this Legion spirit
some mothers boy who had shown
the true American spirit was given a
decent burial. But for this spirit
that soldier boy would have gone tC
the potter's field as many another
poor boy has gone.

services Of one Of the best undertak
ers OF the city. II purchased a S15l
