To them and to their children the grief which had ceased to be heart. breaking when Holmes penned his poem, is no more than a reverential, idealized and ennobling sentiment. Yet thirty-four states will by fiat of their respective legislatures observe Memorial day as a day consecrated to memorial services for those who served in the wars of this counmtry. And to most of us this means the sol- diers of the Civil war, though in truth brought home the truth that the war with Spain demanded its toll of the nation’s manhood. But the custom of placing flowers on the graves of soldiers on a certain fixed day devoted to services com* memorative of their patriotism came into practice at the close of the Civil “Subseribe for The Pioneer — | war, and Memorial day is still most intimately assoclated with the men ot taay war, most of whom have passed into the land of memory, though a comparatively small number of its | | ! i | 1} tassels.

It came as the result of an order issued by Gen. John A. Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the:Republic, then a young organization. It was in May, 1868, that Adjutant General N, P,|® Chysman conferred with General Lo- gan concerning the matter of having the Grand Army inaugurate the cus- tom of placing flowers on the graves of Union soldiers at some uniform time. Following this conference Gen- eral Logan issued an order setting aside May 30, 1868, “for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebelllon and whose bodies now lle in almost every city, village or hamlet churchyard in the Jand.” Chicago had the first celebration of a Decoration day under the auspices of the Grand Army organization in 1868. Two years before this,in alet- ter which was printed March 12, 1866, in the columns of the Columbus Times, & southern woman, Mrs. Mary Ann Willlams Howard, widow of a confederate officer, Maj. John H. How- ard of Milledgeville, Ga., had suggest- that April 26 of that year be set aside as the date “to wreathe graves of our martyred dead with flowers.” The suggestion was followed and that date, Aprit 26, is now observed as Confederate Memorial day, and set aside as a legal holiday, as is May 30 in other states, in four southern states, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Mrs. Williams was great- Iy beloved in the south. During the war she was as active in doing all she could to serve the southern side as her husband and was the moving spir- it in putting into operation wWhat were known as “wayside houses,” in which care was given soldlers en route to battlefields. When she died at Co- lumbus, Ga., in 1874, she was buried with military honors. Two southern states, North Carolina and South Carolina, observe May 10 as their memorial day. In New Mex- fco it is left to the governor to ap- point the day. ABevery state is in- dependent in its legislation, traditions and customs, every state has power to appoint its own holidays, but, despite these variations, a spirit of centraliza- tion or the growth of & national spirit, if you wish to call it that, has aided in bringing about an approximate uni- formity of date for Memorial day in most of the states. Thirty-four states and Alaska, Porto' Rico and the Dis- trict of Columbia observe the 30th of May as a legal holiday dedicated to the memory of soldiers.. Four south- ern states, as hag. been gsaid, ohserve the day on April 26, two on May 10. It is a good custom this, which teaches each succeeding generation to honor the courage, patriotism and loy- ‘al sacrifice of those who have pre- ceded it. A nation which does this in goirit every day as it does in special cerémonies one day eacl year may fearlessly face tHe futurb, confident that it will be worthy of the yut There never was a time when peo- ple appreciated the real merits of Chamberlain’s.

But, nevertheless, the gener ation that carried on the war has been by its experience. Through our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire. It was given to us to learn at the out- set that life {8 a profound and passion. ate thing. - While we are permitted to scorn nothing but indifference, and o not pretend to undervalue the world- ly rewards of ambition, we: have seen with odr own eyes, beyond and ebove the gold ' fields, the &nowy heights of honor, and it is_for us to bear the report to thosé who come aft- er us. But, above all, we have learned that whether a man accepts from for- tine her spade, and will look down- ward and dig, or from aspiration her axe and cord, and will scale the ice, the one and only success which it big to command 1s to bring to his work a mighty heart. Such hearts—ah me, how manyi— were stilled 20 years ago; and to us who remain behind is left this day of memories. Every year—in the full tide of spring, at the height of the symphony of flowers and love and life —there .comes a pause, and through the sllence we hear the lonely pipe of death.- Year after year lovers wan. dering under the apple boughs ‘and 8e6 black’ vVelfed figures atealing through the morning to a soldier’s grave. Year after year the comrades of the dead follow, with public honor, procession and commemorative flags and funeral march—honor and griet from us who stand almost alone, and have seen the béest and noblest of our generation pass away. But grief is not the end of all. I seem to hear the fumeral march be- come & pa 1 see beyond the forest the moving banners of a hidden col- omn. Our dead brothers still live for us, and bid us think of life, not death r—of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of the spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and un- been powers and destinies of good and evil our trumpets sound once more » pote of daring, hope, and will. i /u";' :l[”j IM’ !

DON'T PULL OUT " THE GRAY HAIRS A Few Applications of a Simple Remedy Will Bring Back The Natural Color. “Pull out one gray hair and a dozen will take its place” -is an old saying, which is, to a great extent, true, if no steps are taken to stop the cause. When gray hairs appear it is a sign that Nature needs assist- ance. It is Nature’s call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, or hair that is falling out, is not necessarily a sign of advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly people with perfect heads of haid without a sin- gle streak of gray. ‘Whep gray hairs come, or when the hair seems to be lifeless of dead, some good, reliable hair-restoring treatment should be resorted to at once. Specialists say that one of the best preparations to use is the old-fashioned “sage tea” which our grandparents used. The best pre- paration of this kind is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep- aration of domestic sage and sul- phur, scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tonics and stim- ulants, the whole mixture being carefully balanced and tested by ex- perts. ‘Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is clean and wholesome and perfectly harm- less. It refreshes dry, parched hair, remtves dandruff and gradually re- stores faded or gray hair to its nat- ural color. Don’t delay another minute. Start using Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur at once and see what a difference a few days’ treatment will make in your hair. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended-and sold by all drug- dists.
