A BROKEN PILLAR The pedestrian, walking Walnut Hill park yesterday, felt the approach of spring with all its won- derful significance, The sunlight, even though the grass is not yet green;! even though the browns and drabs had | not given way to the brilliance of the | freshness that will soon come, touched | everything with its gold and brought | a fecling of happiness that life, new lite ll.lt hand, to be reflected in all nature, The wind came briskly on the! heights and as the pedestrian descend- § ed in the direction of West Main street | and was approaching the Court of | Honor, the solemnity of that memofal | more than unusually desolate after the storma of winter had marked all that is left of it, brought a sudden realiza- tion that while new life is springing up all about us, there before the man who entered that Court of Honor were the reminders of the men who would not meet this spring, would not again feel that brightness pervading them— the men who died in the line of duty. And the person passing | through the park today there was an| increased appreciation of all that was Yelt when those pillars were put in place—a deecper reve perhaps.

Or perhaps there was some other rate reason for its condition, At any there it lay, a pathetie bit of evidence ! lack of memory of the people made by of th of this city of the her young man who went who could not return. 11 this pillar destroy no matter who was to blame, sacrifice away and ' was A by ac- cident, it should have been reported at once in order that repairs be made at once, No such report was made at police the information of office promise headquarters, bnt the brought prompt, sympathetic to ste that the matter was attended to.
