Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. b. FriendS
The month of roses" is certainly
giving us variety this year, but
whatever the sudden changes in tenn
perature and weather, graduations
and weddings go on as usual. There
is hope for the future, in more ways
than one, when we look in the faces
of the graduates from SO many
schools and institutions of learning,
as they are presented in the papers
day after day. Fine-looking, intelli-
gent, preparing, and, to some extent
prepared, to go out and meet the
problems of life which each must
solve for himself or herself.
Those who are doubtful and de-
pressed over the conditions of the
present time, should take courage
and have faith in the young folks
of to-day. Congratulations and best
wishes have been showered upon
them as they stand on the threshold
of new experience, but a continu-
ance of interest need not be neglect
ed, and probably would not come
amiss.

OUR BRAVEST AMERICANS.
He was an ordinary-loo sort of
fellow, with a smile which relieved
the hard expression of his face in re-
pose. He was playing billiards in
Broadway hotel, joking with his op-
ponent, who was taking defeat ir-
ritably. Pinned to the vest of the
slouchy, quietly confident young man
was a crumpled blue ribbon with white
stars.
a closer look revealed the fact that
that man, one of the last in the world
the american Immortals''-one of the
one thousand eight hundred and twelve
persons who have won the right to
wear the Congressional Medal of
Honor. The crumpled ribbon meant
that, at home, there was a fve-pointed
star, with an oak leaf on each ray,
laurel wreath around it and the head
of Minerva, bar. bearing the bravest
word in the language "Valor, and an
eagle, The boy, a private, too modest
to wear the medal even on state oc-
casions, wore the crumpled ribbon
which revealed to the world the fact
he had earned the right to the highest
honor an American may receive from
his country.
There is much misunderstanding
about the Congressional Medal of
Honor. 1t is the highest honor any
American can win and the one most
zealously guarded by the army against
the inroads of politicians. The medal
may be awarded only for some deed
performed outside the line of duty,
