ARE MARCHING ON All Over Our Land The Old Soldiers are in Big Parade WASHINGTON HAS CELEBRATION Many Old Soldiers are Unable to March In Big Parade and Ride in Carriages. THE GRAND ARMY GOING FAST Four Thousand Names are Stricken From the Pension Rolls Each Month. By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner. ‘Washington, May 30.—Once more the old blue ranks are joined With fifes and drums sounding, the rem- nant of the Grand Army comes down the street. It is Memorial day. Again the old “boys” have met at the post hall. It is not such a num- erous company as met there ten years ago, or five, or even last year. But it is still “Bill,” and “Tom,” and “Comrade” with a heartiness that even age cannot take away. There are solicitous inquiries after health. Hands clasp silently in reunion. Many are wondering whose place in the parade will be vacant next year, next Memorial Day. “Jim” is beginning to look feeble! “Sam’s” shoulders, al- ways so erect, are beginning to have an involuntary stoop in them The Relief Corps has been busy for} several days. But now, most of the active work of preparation has been done by the grandchildren of the veterans. i At last the parade starts! Its mili- tary appearance is kept up this year by the presence of Spanish War veter- ans and the Boy Scouts. But the chief interest is in the brave little band of Grand Army men. There is a pitiful attempt, but unsuccessful, to appear in uniform. With most, the uniform consists merely of the black felt hat with its gold braid. With some it is merely the gold buttons.in suits of brown, black and gray. While a very few still wear blue suits, brass but- tons, felt hat and all. Most of them still make a brave at- tempt to be military in bearing. But for all but a few the exertion is ter- rific. Some still have their buoyant ing and painful. always marched before this year, are riding in carriages and automobiles! No wonder that in the average small northern town eyes are wet with tears as they watch the old Grand Army march by again. The faces in the line are mostly known to all. And some are missed. The town knows the story of all of them. [ have a purpose in writing these, lines for this memorial day. The point I wish to make is that the Grand Army is going, and going rap- idly. Each month now at the Pen- sion office in Washington 4,000 names are struck from the roll with -the grim word “Dead” closing each pen- sion account. Four thousand a month! These men who went forth to give their lives for.the Union 51 years ago hardly fell on the battlefields and in the fever hospitals at that rate. And some, who have NUMBER 28.

Honeywell has is- sued invitations to the public to a “Free Dance” “Card ~Party and “Theater. Par'ty," which will be held at the tabernacle tonight. The pro- gram is announced to begin promptly at 7:45. Whether: the. Bear Dance and the Bunny Hug will be given the invitation does not say, but he as- sures that there will be plenty of round, square and “Dreamy Waltzes” to satisfy the most fastidious. Vaudeville performance after every dance and card tables on the side is also a part of the program. The one thing that may keep back-the crowd is the fact that positively no prizes will be given out. On the invitation he states that “The time of your life is guaranteed.” He urges you also to bring your lady friend if you have one. It might be added that the children will also be welcome, "Come early as no seats will be reserevd. First come first served.
