PRIZE BUST OF LEE

Among the thin ranks of the G. A. r.
veterans there may yet be a man to
whom portrait bust OF Gen. Robert
f. Lee, carved In fine old American
walnut, will be stirring memory Of
the days Of 3d.
For this bust was the trophy Of a
Union infantryman, taken by him from
captured Confederate gunboat.
But little Is known OF the busts his
tory. battered gunboat. raked and
shattered by gunfire, drfted helplessly
upon d sand bar off Natchez during one
of those historic engagements on the
broad bosom of the Mississippi. Once
aground her crew put up brief but
fierce resistance to the Federal forces,
but the odds were against them and
before long the Union men were aboard
the little vessel.
There one man found this bust-half
buried but unharmed-a tribute to the
hardness of the good American walnut
from which 1t had been carved. Who
had been it's carver no one knows.

first American patriotic song,
one that became popular with Colonial
troops In the Revolutionary war, al
though there was no specific title for
1t. Another early one was 1.-THE Lib
erty Song published in 1868, calling
on the people to unite for liberty. The
first American-made patriotic sea song
was THE Yankee Man-of-W Var" written
about 1778. to commemorate the ex.
ploits OF Capt. John Paul Jones. Yam
kee Doodle" known as an American
patriotic ballad, was an English song
at the beginning of the, Revolution and
an American song at Its close. It was
ordered played by General Lafayette at
the surrender OF the British forces at
Yorktown. Joseph Hopklnson wrote
the words of HAL Columbia which
were adapted to the air of the sPresl-
dents March," the composer OF which
Is not definitely known. 1.-THE Star

els Scott Key after witnessing the bonn
bardment of Ft. McHenry In 1914. The
air is from song by the English COM
poser. John Stafford Smith. entitled
ode to Anacreon." The words and
music OF Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean," equally well known as 1.-THE
Red, White and Blue" we're written
by Thomas Beckett, an English actor
playing at the Chestnut Street theater
In Philadelphia In 1843. 1t is used In
England with suitable alteration Of the
text, as an army and navy song. Sam

new now survive from among
Il those for whom Memorial day
l. was particularly established. The
ranks OF the Grand Army OF the Re-
public are shattered. Younger men,
veterans of later wars, take the place
OF those who wore the blue or gray
from Bull Run to Appomattox. as
symbols OF the nations strength In
arms.
Forms OF observance change with
the times, but the underlying spirit Of
thankful remembrance remains ever
fresh and unalterable. To those who
FIRST thought Of setting apart day
each year for patriotic remembrance
such an event as that now staged an
nually at Indianapolis or the baseball
double header or the highways crowd
ed with pleasure-seeking motorists
would have been as inconceivablc az
the radio to an aborigine. But one
likes to believe that these manifesto
lions OF American life do not In tho
least modify the nations sense OF de-
votion to the memory OF those who
have borne her arms to victory.
There Is needed In these diverting
and troublous days some special occa-
sion when minds shall turn to the men
who have dared to bare their breasts
to an enemy In war, who have seen In
their country's flag something more
than piece OF bunting and been con-
vinced that nation worth founding
was worth defending even at the ex-
pense of life and treasure. One hears
much In these days of pacifism, OF
oaths solemnly taken never to bear
arms In war, of the supposed mockery
of popular government, the rise OF
relationships and the smashing OF
treaty pledges. One hears too little OF
the innumerable thousands Of stanch
American hearts which still believe In
national honor. the Constitution and
the causes for which men In the past
have been proud to die
A people ready to observe Memorial
day is not one to give way to despair.
Today we honor the patriot dead. We
honor. no less. the living who are In
spired by the example OF those whose
graves they decorate.
