One Minute Essay

The custom of decorating in memory
of the dead is so ancient that its origin
is lost. Since May 5, 1868, certain
states have observed May 80 as the an
niversary upon which the graves of the
war veterans should be decorated
This custom was inaugurated by Cen
John A. Logan, commander -in-chief of
the G. A. r., who on May 5, 1868, is
sued an order appointing May 80 of
that year as the day for decorating
the graves of Civil war veterans.
There is no national law on the sub
ject, the states which observe the day
having adopted the custom singly. 1t
is probable that May 80 was chosen to
commemorate the date of the discharge
of the last union volunteer Of the Civil
war;

And as Uncle Wiggily's head was
out of the way then, the two Wrens

VENTURE
Uncle Wiggily hoped on through
the wood, but he did not have any adj
ventures. Much disappointed, he was
on his way home to his hollow stump
bungalow when he again reached the
dingle- dell and sat down to rest on the

put his head over the tiny hole that
served as the front door to the
