AS far as any authentic record
shows. the first cracker bakery in the
United States was that of Theodore
Pearson at Newburyport, Mass. He
began business in 1892 and his spe-
cialty was a large cracker which was
known both as "pilot" and as ships
bread. Joshua Brent was Pearson's
first great business rival. He erected
an oven for cracker baking at Milton,
Mass. in 1901. He was succeeded by
many other cracker manufacturers.
The crackers We're first made by hand.
During the years between 1910 and
1865 the mechanical process employed
in making crackers underwent a re-
markable development. Prior to 1910
the use of machinery in the cracker
making process was practically I'M
known. Even then the dough was still
worked up and put into the. oven one

Veterans of Civil War
Passing into History

Although the thin blue line of the
Civil war is growing thinner at the
rate of 10000 a year there are still
10000 Of the old boys marching brave
ly, eyes front, into the sunset, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
Sixty thousand survivors so many
years after the great conflict opened
is a surprising number. 1t makes an
army comparable in size to some of
the forces with which conquerors
have changed the history of the
world. 1t is twice as many as Alex
ander led to the destruction of the
Persian empire, twice the force with
which Sulla destroyed Mithridates,
more than Napoleon led into Italy.
equal to Wellington's army in action
at Waterloo, only 5000 less than Lee
commanded at Gettysburg.
Nevertheless, it is a wistful con-
trast to the 100000 enrolled under
the Union banner, to the 100000 I'M
der arms when the war closed and to
the 745,000 on the pension roll when
it reached high water mark some 80
years ago.
The decrease of 5000 in the last six
months is a ratio which if kept up
will mean the dissolving Of the blue
line into the mists of history within
another ten years.

Day to Be Cherished
Through All the Years

Among all the ceremonial days wide
ly observed in this country none has
more human appeal than Memorial
day, which Powered from roots
springing from graves while the earth
was still dank upon them and watered
by the tears that flowed from grief
time has not yet assuaged. Those
who advocate abolshing it on the
ground that it perpetuates sectional
ism overlook the achievements of in
tervening history. The Spanish
American and World wars found the
sons of those who fought against each
other at Antietam and Gettysburg
fighting together under one. flag
against a common enemy; and the
graves Of those who fell in these wars
receive the same attention as the
graves of the Blue and the Gray. The
graveside of those who have died in
battle is not a breeding place of ami
mosities.
The origin Of Memorial day may
well be forgotten, as it, is probable 1t
will be in time to come. The day it.

that can never be repaid in kind. Only
by so doing can we assure those
whose memories we honor today that
they did not fight and die in vain.

Impossible to Forget
Their Great Sacrifice

Twelve years ago stalwart young
Americans were giving their lives for
their, country in France. Thirty-one
years ago they were rushing to the
defense Of a people oppressed by
Spain. Thirty years before that 1t
was brother against brother, in ter
rible civil war. Today there is peace.
We would be ingrates not to pause to
give thanks to God for peace, and to
fallen heroes for their example of
high courage and inspiring patriotism.
A new South joins with the North
in tribute to the memory of those who
fought in blue and gray. A grateful
nation mourns for those sacrificed in
'9S, and for the thousands more who
bled and died in France. And as we
lay a wreath upon the grave of a
father, brother or a son, let us pray
for guidance along the trail that shall
lead to amity among nations.-kan-

but they said good-by to him with
quiet dignity. Ernestine admired their
restraint, and was grateful for their
good taste. They offered neither adj
vice nor counsel, but allowed the
own affairs. The house on Erie street
brought to Ernestine her first shock
of reality. 1t was an ancient, smoke
blackened dwelling place, not far from
the lake. Across the street from the
house a five-stOry machine shop re-
verberated with activity. A secret
looking brown-stone house, with drawn
blinds, stood on the corner. Ernes-
tine felt that the apartment they spoke
of so glibly was not so near. A sense
of the irreyocable nature of the step
