THEIR RANKS INTACT

It has seemed to us as though they
must have always been old men. From
our first Memorial day parade we have
visualized them as white-haired, bent,
tottering
That they could ever have been young,
vigorous, glowing with the vitality of
youth seemed impossible-to us.
1t never seemed that bent and totter-
ing though they might appear to Us, to
themselves these veterans of the q. A.
R. are still the brisk, alert youths who
answered the call of their country be-
tween 1S61-63.
And their ranks are not, as we have be-
lieved, growing less and less each Men,
orial day. They remain ever stationary
while there is single veteran to appear
in the annual parade. Side by side with
him marches his full complement of
comrades, eyes to the front, steady and
resolute as ever. They may have died
decades ago at Fredericksburg, at Cold
Harbor, in Andersonville or Libby, or he
may have followed their cortege to the
graveyard since last Memorial day, yet
to the veteran his comrades are still
present, ready for duty"
1t is nearly 20 years since the first of
the G. A. R. left their homes and the
paths of peace to endure the hardship
and the suffering of the soldier. Seventy
years is the dim past for most of US. To
them it is but yesterday.
They still hear the beat of the drum,
the footsteps of their marching COM
rades They feel their shoulders brush
as they swing along.
They hear the roar of battle and they
see its terrible results with dead and dy-
ing strewn about the fields. They are
once again in the terrible prison camps,
a living death for so many thousands Of
the boys in blue.
Again they hear the joyous news of
Appomattox and peace and live again
through the days of the grand review.
They have just come home. They are
as good as ever. Four years of war are
behind them. They stood the ordeal and
stood it we'll. Why should they fear
peace when they didn't fear war?
It may be 1874 or 1884; years do not
matter. The Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie is intact down to its last company.
1t never grows less. With the comrade-
ship of the campfire it moves over to
make room for other young fellows who

who lived near Uncle Wiggilv, they,
too, were having their fun en- De-
coration Day in the woods and
fields.
After Uncle Wiggily had watched
Toodle and Noodle, the beaver boys,
dig the canal so part of the brook
water could run down past the hot
Hemlock fir tree and cool it, the
rabbit gentleman gathered May
flowers so his wife and Nurse Jane
might decorate the hollow stump
bungalow.
That done, Uncle Wiggily sat out
in his back yard on Decoration Day
The rabbit gentleman SGT in his
easy chair out under the grape
vine which now had large leaves or
1t so it made a shade.
The wind was blowing softly. The
sun was shining warmly. 1t was q
lovely Decoration Day. Soon, though
he didn't know he was going to dc
it, Uncle Wiggily fell fast asieep ir
his easy chair. And after he was
asleep, Jingle and Jangle, two Of
his little girl rabbits came hopping
along. With Jingle and Jangle were
Buster and Duster, two little boy
rabbits. They saw their DADDY asleer
and Jingle said:
Lets decorate him."

Ask Dismissal
OF Damage Suit

At the conclusion of arguments
by counsel yesterday afternoon in
the trial of the damage action
brought by Randall Conuor. Eugene
King, Calvery Moody and Joe Juve-
nal against the Forty-Fifth District
Agricultural Association Of Califor-

mitted motion that the action be
dismissed on grounds that it is in
reality a case against the state of
California.
Judge Vaughn Thompson before
whom the action is being heard
took the motion under submission
and will probably give his decision
when the action reopens tomorrow
morning.
The association which is the legal
name for the Imperial Countv Fair,

personal injuries alleged to have
been received at the fair grounds on
March S, 1888, when racing car
plunged through the fence where
they were sitting, injuring them.
Trial of the action opened in su-

UNCLE WIGGILY'S DECORA-
TIONS

Drums were booming and rafting
Trumpets were blowing. Fifcs were
merrily footing. Soldiers were
marching. For this was Decoration
Day. Part of it was sad. The other
part was merry.
The sad part was where the
marching soldiers carried flowers
and thought of their friends who
had gone to war with them and had
never come back.
The jolly part was where child
rem were going on picnics and ex-
cursions and having parties IN the
woods and fields where they also
gathered flowers.
For Decoration Day is intended
to be happy and jolly even though
1T has a little sad part.
In Woodland, where Uncla Wig
gily lived in his hollow stump bum
galow, there were many Decoration
Day picnics, excursions and parties.
Mr.. and Mrs. Twistytail, the fat
lady and gentleman pig, took their
boys, Curly and Floppy and Squeaky
Squealer, the baby pig, to the woods
where they could root up and eat
many tender plants. 1t didn't mat
ter if the pigs got their noses dirty
from roofing in the earth.

What do you mean?" asked Bus

Why" answered Jingle, "this
Decoration Day. Everybody is being
| decorated. Daddicums brought home
| flowers to decorate the bungalow
but nobody decorated him.
"That's right" said Jangle
/ What do you want lis to do?'
asked Buster
IT think we ought TO gather
blossoms and vines and all the pref
ty things we can," said Jingle, land
decorate our dear Daddjcursi
"Hrray!" shouted Buster, just
like boy even if he was Only boy
rabbit.
"Hurray!" shouted Duster
Don't make so much aoise!"
whispered Jingle.
You'll wake Daddicums up and
then we can't decorate him without
him knowing it," said Jangle. 1--WE
want to surprise him.
"Oh, 1 didn't know that!" said
Buster just as if he were making
a joke over the radio.
We'll, you know it now" said
Jingle. $50 everybody keep quiet
and we'll do the decorating
! 1t did not take the four rabbit
children long to gather May bios
SONS and vines from the woods and
fields near the bungalow. They did
that so quietly that Uncle Wiggily
never awakened.
Then they twined on his head
wreaths of many colored flowers.
They dangled garlands down in
front of him, some around his long
ears and made him look like the
King of the May.
"Oh, isn't he sweet" whispered
Jingle.
1--WE have Daddicums SO decor
ated," giggled Jangle, that he looks
more like a flower garden than a
bunny gentleman. Let's go call
Nurse Jane and Mother" Away ran
the rabbit children, leaving Uncle
Wiggily still asleep. And while he
slept, along came the Fox and Wolf.
They wanted to decorate their
stomachs with something to eat.
+ 'Hal Look" whispered the Fox.
There's Uncle Wiggily in his back
garden sitting in that chair asleep"
The Wolf looked and said.
'Nonsensel That's only bunch
of flowers and vines. We can't eat
Z those. Come on!" So the Bad Chaps
went away and because he was SO
decorated Uncle Wiggily was saved

THE FIVE LITTLE DIONNEs

Mrs. Olivia Dionne makes the front

When movie stars who decided to
change their husbands, when "torch
singer" gone wrong, when "gunmen's
molls' and lengthy parade of the gen.
tier sex who have ceased being gentle.
make the front page, why not Mrs
Dionne?
The largest headlines available would
not be sufficient to accord her the honor
she merits, nor do smaller ones dimin-
lsh 1t in any manner
Mrs. Dlonne has set something of a
record and set the world agog by pre-
senting her husband and the Dominion
OF Canada with five daughters, to add to
the six children who already called her
mother
Her husband, and she herself undoubt-
edly, are wondering how, with their
meager means, they are going to sup
port the extremely large addition to
their family
1t is not for citizens of the United
States to tell Canada what should be
done. 1t has already presented Mrs.
Dionne with kings bounty of three
pounds-little enough but still some
thing. But more than that should be as
sured the Dionne family. 1t should be
made certain now that the five little
Dionne sisters, plus their other brothers
and sisters, should never know want
And in the meantime it is in order to
ask Divine Providence to watch over the
Dionne quintuplets, to protect them and
enable them to grow up.
The world numbers many things
among its assets. 1t will never number
anything more precious than the five
little Dionnes.
Yep, the Cuba making all these threats
against Yankees is the same Cuba the
Yankees set free.
Uncle Sam had better not be too hasty
in cutting his navy. He ought to see
how the rest of the crowd feels about it.
It looks like the end of the Owl.

Each year when congress nears
adjournment, senators and repre-

bright sayings in autograph books
thrust at them by page boys, friends
and members of colleagues families.
Sen. Louis Murphy, Dem) Iowa,
spends half an hour daily collecting
signatures for his 14-year-old
daughter, Mary. Among The greet

Is one by President Roosevelt. 1t
reads:
why don't you come up to the
White House and see me some
time?"
Senator F. Ryan Duffy, Dem)
Wisconsin, is another autograph
hunter.
Page boys usually are given the
task of going from desk to desk to
obtain signatures of senator's. The
boys usually manage at TIE same
time to fill their own books and
those of their friends. Occasionally
a page undertakes to get auto
graphs for tourists. but this prac-
tice Is frowned upon.

Governors Son
Grief Stricken

at Governor Rolph Jr.'s bedside
through the night murmuring
Dad, Dad, Dad"
The watcher was the governors
son, Jimmy Rolph III.
The younger Rolph burst into
tears when physicians announced
they feared the governor would not
survive his illness. ALI his life he
and his father had been pals"
He couldn't believe the man who
had been so active just short
time ago was pulling up stakes
for good" and the possibility left
the young man broken and sobbing
The governors wife was more
composed, but she showed the
strain of nights of bedside vigil
She is resigned thoroughly, friends
said.
