Mrs. Pell's Decoration Day ■By EMILY S. WINDSOR. rflY THE aid of the calendar hang mi ing on her wall. Mrs, Pell found that there were 14 weeks before Dee oration day. She was not an adept at mental arith metic, so that it was quite a lengthy and laborious piece l of work for her io calculate that if .she saved 12 cents each of those 14 weeks, she would have one dollar and 68 cents. She had just finished counting' it up a second time in order to be sure that It was correct, when her neighbor, Mrs. Wilkes, from the next room below in the big tenement house, came in for their usual evening chat. She was a thin, nervous looking little woman of middle age. Neither her faded gray hair nor her dress was tidy. She was a strong contrast to Mrs. l'ell, who was always neat and clean; she was much •older than Mrs. Wilkes, too. Most, of Mrs. Pell's days were spent In office cleaning, while Mrs. Wilkes* time was well filled with washing and Ironing. After they had exchanged their news of the day, Mrs. Pell said: "Would you ihink that a body could get a nice lot ■of flowers for a dollar and sixty-eight ■cents?" "Sure and I'd think that a lot of money to be spendin* in such a way," answered Mrs. Wilkes, with a look of •aurprise on her weather-beatcp face. "I'd like it to be more," returned Wrs. Pell, "but not a cent more than -12 cents a week can I spare." "I'm sure I'm not knowin' what your talkin' about," said Mrs. Wilkes, the surprise in her face increasing. "I'll be tellin'you. It's for the graves on Decoration day. I've just set my heart on coverin' 'em with flowers this year. I've been wantin' to do it every year, but somethin' always happened to prevent. Put this year, they're goin' to be there." "Oh!" ejaculated Mrs. Wilkes. "Yes," went on Mrs. Pell, "I'm feelin' «ure there'll be nothin'to prevent this year. And it's white roses 1 want. Teddy was crazy after 'em." She rocked her chair, and hid her face in her blue gingham apron. Mrs. Wilkes could not enter very •deeply into her friend's feelings. She Every time she passed a Florist, she would •top and look at the flowers. had never had any children, and her husband had been lost at sea so many years before that he was now but a dim memory; besides, he had never in life given her any reason to mourn his loss. But she kept respectfully silent until Mrs. Pell's burst of grief was over. "Then she said: "White roses is nice. You ought to be gettin' a lot for so much money." Mrs. Pell shook her head. "I don't Jcnow. Flowers is dear." Mrs. Pell carefully put aside 12 cents each week from her meager earnings. Every time that she passed a florist's ■window on her way to work, she would •top and look at-the flowers displayed, and try to decide which window con tained the most beautiful white roses, "l'or I must get the finest to be had," she would think. The prospect of buying those flowers often formed the subject of her chats with Mrs. Wilkes. To the latter SI.(SS seemed an enor mous sum to spend in any such a way. "Be sure that you get the worth of your money," she would say. "They've got to be line ones," Mrs. Pell would ifnswer. Spring had been long in coming that year, and it was late in May before the garden roses began to show their colors. Mrs. Pell had few opportunities of seeing any of these, the tenement In which she lived being inn district where there was not enough earth room for a blade of grass to grow. Mrs. Pell, like mnny of her neighbors, had a f*\\ pots.of geraniums on her window aills, but they were not luxuriant In growth. The air, close and sunless, was not conducive to floriculture. Mrs. Pell had once tried to raise a white *ose, but it had died an early death. Then her walks to and from her work were not in the resident port of *he •city. But on Sunday*, when she was not too tired, she went tn rtiurcb. Her way thither led past many beautiful pnr dens. One of them elie particularly ud ttlred. It was. n Inißfe, old fashioned garden surrounding a beautiful old house. There were roses and rosea. Itow , climbing over trellises, and cltim biri itjr .hfiut the broad veranrla which rsn along the side of the hoin-e. They sir* just such rot.es as had frown about lha little country home 4o which >U« had gone as a bride, says the Chicago Advance. The sight of them took her back to the days when she had been so happy. Then had come the dark time when her husband returned from the war with broken health. To mend their fortunes they had come to the city. But things had gotten worse. Her husband had soon died. She and Teddy had struggled alone. She had looked forward to the day when Teddy would be taking care of her, for he was o good boy. But he had been laid beside his father eight years ago. Bow he had loved those roses! He had often said that he would have a garden full of them when he was anion. He would be a man now if he were living. The Sunday before Decoration Mrs. Pell went to church and returned by way of her favorite garden. She stopped to look at the white roses. There were such quantities of them. The air was filled with their fragrance. How she wished that she could have enough of them to cover her graves! Somehow, they seemed sweeter than the flowers at the florists. The day before Decoration day came. Mrs. l'ell had gone much sooner than usual to her work, and by hurrying a great deal, had been able to return home at four instead of six, her usual hour. It was her plan to put on her best clothes and then goto the florist's and select and order her flowers. She would call for them early the next morning, and take them to the ceme tery. The day was to be a holiday. She had just unlocked her door, and entered her room, when Mrs. Wilkes came in. Her eyes were swollen from crying. "Sure, and what's the matter?" cried Mrs. Pell. "It's Sally. She's sick, and goin' to die. The woman that's been takin' care of her wrote to tell me. And she wants to see me once more." "Well, sure and you'll be agoin'," said Mrs. Pell. Mrs. Wilkes burst into tears. "It's that I'm feelin' so bad about. It costs three dollars togo, and me with noth in' but a dollar and a half to my name. You see, I paid the rent two days ago. And not one of the neighbors with a cent to lend me." "And it's too bad, it is," ejaculated Mrs. Pell, feelingly. "Yes, and there's a train at seven," said Mrs. Wilkes, with fresh tears. | "Unless'—" she went on hesitatingly, "you could lend me enough!" "It's too bad, it is," exclaimed M»s. Pell. "Sure and I paid my rent last week, too." She looked distressed. She was always anxious to help anyone in trouble. "I know—but—" Mrs. Wilkes hesi tated more than before. "I—l— thought perhaps you'd let me have that money you saved for the flowers. Poor Sallie! I'd like to see her once more. She's my own sister, sure." "Lend you that money! Oh! Mrs. Wilkes, 1 can't! I've had my heart set so long on coverin' the graves this Dec oration da j - ." "I thought likely you wouldn't want to. Poor Sallie! And I'll never see her again." Mrs. Wilkes turned away with a hopeless air, and went slowly back to her room. Mrs. Pell hastily prepared togo to the florist's to select and order her flowers. She felt very sorry for Mrs. Wilkes, but of course she could not lend her that money. If she had saved it for any other purpose but that! She had tried for so many years to be able to cover those graves with roses, and now when she had the money—to give it all up. She hoped Mrs. Wilkes did not think her mean. She would have been glad to do anything else for her. And it was a pity that she could not see her sister before she died. She was the only relative she had, too. If it had only not been that money! And if it were not Decoration day! She wanted to put flowers on their graves at the time that other peo ple were remembering their dead. Mrs. Pell's steps became slower and slow er, and as she came in sight of the florist's shop, she stood still, and re mained in deep thought for some min utes. Then she turned suddenly and walked back to the tenement, and into Mrs. Wilkes' room. She found the lat ter sitting with her face in her hands and crying. Mrs. l'ell put her precious SI.GS in her hand. "There," she said, "just takeit. Hurry and get ready, and I'll goto the train with you. I do hope you'll find Sallie alive." "Oh!" cried Mrs. Wilkes, "sure and I 1 XcluJ LfL Due.

Mrs. Pell did not sleep well that night. It hurt her to think of those two graves being flowerless another Decoration day. They were in such a remote part of the cemetery\thnt they never shared in the general decoration of graves. She decided that she would not goto the cemetery at all. She could not bear to think of seeing oth ers carrying their flowers while her hands must be empty. Hut in the morning she changed her mind. It seemed unkind to leave her graves unvisited. She would go in the afternoon when the services were over and the cemetery would be compara tively deserted. It was such a lovely day. The ride iti the ears would do her good. Mr. Graham, his wife and Berta and Tom drove out to the cemetery, their She found these two a mast of exquisite roses. carriage filled with baskets of roses. They had almost stripped the many bushes in their garden. After their grandfather's and grand mother's and Aunt. Edith's graves had been piled high with odorous blossoms there was still a large basketful of beautiful white roses left. "Let us drive around and see if there are any graves without any flowers," said Berta. "Y r es," said Mrs. Graham, "I like that thought." But there did not seem to be any graves undecorated until they reached a more distant part of the cemetery. There two sunken graves, with weather-worn wood markers at the head, were flowerless. "How lonely they look!" said' Tom. "YE," said Mrs. Graham, "I think that you must empty this basket on them." "Let Tom and me do it," said Berta. So she and her brother jumped out of the carriage and went over to the two graves. There were enough roses to completely cover'them both. "Now they don't look so lonely," said Berta, with a backward glance, as she drove away. And so it was that when late in the afternoon Mrs. Pell came to the lonely spot where lay her husbandi and son, she found the two mounds a mass of exquisite roses. And they looked like the roses she had had in her little country home in those long past days —the white roses that- Teddy, had so loved. PSALM OF THE OLD SOLDIER. The blue is fading into gray. Just as when sunset comes With bugle calls that die away And softly throbbing drums; The shadows reach across the sky And hush the cares of day; The bugle call and drum beat die— Tlie blue fades into gray. The gray is blending into blue— A sunrise glad and fair, When, in the richness of the dew, The roses riot there, The bitterness of yesterday Is lost to me and you; The blue Is fadtng into gray— The gray blends into blue. They're sleeping now the long, long sleep— The boys who wore the blue; Above the gray the grasses creep— And both were good and true; And in the twilight of our life— The ending of the way— There comes forgetfulness of strife — Tne blue fades into gray. Above each mound the lily glows And humble daisies nod; Tho ruby glory of the rosa Sheds luster on the sod; Tho tears—the tears—they are the dew That greets the coming day. The gray Is blendliu? into blue— The blue fades Into gray. — W. V. Nesbit, In the lialtimore American. THE OLD SOLDIER»S DAY. Ileoutiful Cnatuin of Olisvrring Me morial l)u>—Tlie .Nation's .\utlounl llelii. In 1803 occurred' one of the most im pressive and soul-stirring pagcantsi which 'this country has ever seen. Om the and and 24th of May, the armies of the union passed in grand review be fore the president and the secretary of war, in Washington. On the first day 80,000 men of I lie Army of the I'otomac marched through the streets of the na tional capital, and on the following day the G!),0(X) members of Sherman's army carried their ta'ttered flags over the same line of inarch. In all there were 140,000 men in> that blue tide which, for six hours on one daj- and seven on the next, flowed past the eapitol; and on the great banner which s't retch I'd across the front of the building the tired and war-worn vet erans read a sentiment which must have touched their hearts. It was their country's acknowledgment of her sense of obligation to them. The words were these: "The only national debt' we can never pay is the debt we owe the victorious union soldiers." Today, says the Youth's Companion, a thousand little processions made up of those same men will inarch behind muffled drums and> with flowers in their hands, to decorate the graves of the comrades whose marching days are done. Those who passed before the president in the grand review of 1865 were mostly young men, some of them mere boys. The little companies which make their way from post headquar ters to the cemetery to-day are made up of old' men. Each year finds the heads whit er, the line thinner, the steps more feeble. Yet the loving memories remain unchanged, the old comrades unforgotten, the service in their honor unneglected. The dignity and faithfulness with which the veterans of the civil war ob serve this annual ceremony lias not been lost upon the country. The pa thetic spectacle of these feeble old men marching every year under the flag they once defended has touched us all. It has helped us to realize that we have indeed a "national debt we can never pay," ami has confirmed the beautiful custom of giving one day in the year to our dead, be they.soldier or civilian. THE NATION DOES NOT FORGET. Tlie Story of How (Si r Custom of D(e oratlnt; Soldiers' Uruvea Originated. An association known as the Ladies' Aid society, was organized in 1861 for looking after soldiers who died in Co lumbus hospitals. They were buried under the direction of these ladies, who thereafter took charge of these gravesr-making it a practice togo in a body to care for and beautify them with plants and flowers. January, 1866, Miss Lizzie Kutherford, a member of the so ciety, made the suggestion that a spe cifled day should be adopted upon which a memorial service should be held for the purpose of decorating the confed erate graves annually. The proposi tion met at once with the greatest fa vor, and a letter was addressed to each of the chapters in their cities and towns suggesting similar action on their part. These letters were written in March, 1866, and from their publication result ed the observance of April 26 as Memor ial day for the confederate dead in sev eral southern states. The floral displays are always mag nificent in the larger cities, and espe cially is this true of Richmond'. In his toric old Hollywood lies the gallant and beloved Stuart. There, too, sleeps the old cavalier Pickett, and many others scarcely less distinguished. There, al so, rests the president of the confed erate states, and by his side ■ the "Daughter of 4he Confederacy." And on Memorial day flowers from the hills of Vermont commingle over her grave with those from the plains of Texas and the land of the setting sun as a tribute to her worth and in attestaion of a re united country.— Woman's Home Com panion.
