And vet If I might see her onco apart.
Only to sea her pyen. her mouth, her hair.
With one Ions look, to get her face by hoart,
To learn her beauty as I should n prayer.

And more her own than when untaught by

Henry Johnson, a broker of this city, proved
fntal for Captain Jnmes B. Johnson, of Port

'HEAR THAT DRUM?' ASKS
VETERAN AS HE DIES
Captain Gilmour Passes on With
Echoes of Memorial Day
Music in Ears
Captain John M. Gilmour, veteran of
many a cavalry battle, knew thnt his last
Memorial Day had come.
Defeated In his final battle, a gritty, all
day fight with death, the aged soldier died
at tho Frankford Hospital last night with
the echoes of tho day's martial music In
his ears.
"I know this will be my last Momorlat
Day," he whispered a few hours before he
died.
The last hours of the cavalry officer
caused many a tug at tho hearts of those
who saw him' pass away. Tho sound of
fife and drum came to him as he lay on
his cot, tho flfo and drum that led tho way
for a -few of his comrades marching past
the hospital on their way to the Memorial
Day exercises In 'Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Insistently, it seemed to him. the shrill
ing of tho fife nnd the roll of the drum
called.hlm to come.
"If I cou&only see the boys," he gasped.
"It would be such a comfort to me. I
wanted to march with them today, but I
know this Is my last Memorial Day." He
inea,. to rise to look out of the window,
He was too weak, and death was'toS neap
even for tender hands to lift him so' that'
he could eee.
"Hear that drum," he whispered. "It
carries' me back to the old days with Sher
man In Georgia." He lapsed Into uncon
sciousness and died a few hours later.
Captain Gilmour, who was 77 years old,
was to have been orator at the Sunday
night rnenjorlal services In the Frankford
Presbyterian Church, but was stricken
with apoplexy last Saturday. Ho was a
past commander of the Ashworth Post, No.
334, G. A. R., and was superintendent of
wo i'-rankrord bathhouse. During the Civil
War he-was a sergeant In the 16th Pennsyl
yanla Cavalry, He Is survived by a son,
Lawrence Gilmour, and a daughter, Agnes
Gilmour. The funeral will be held at his
home. 1413 Sellers street, Friday afternoon,

Will conduct the services. Burial will be

OLD MOTHER GOAT, BEREFT OF KIDS,
WAILS UNTIL NEIGHBORS PROTEST
Animal's Children Taken Away Because Doctor Said Lit
tle Sick Boy Must Have the Milk Anguished
Bleatings Eouse Other Residents
Police assistance was enlisted today to
quiet tho pleadings of a mother-heart Tiereft
of Juvenile offspring. Other mothers voiced
tho complaint and declared that maternal
feelings that vented themselves In moan
Ings and bellowing sufficient to keep other
parents from sleeping at night might bo
pafJvMc from a sentimental viewpoint, but
on Uidley street, whero they lived but did
not slumber, such manifestations of bereave
ment simply "got their goat" And they
wanted Mrs. Isadore Silver's goat In re
taliation.
That was tho way Mrs. Fnnnlo Cohen,
536 Dudley street, nnd her neighbor, .Mrs.
Mary Hoffner, E34 Dudley street, explained
the casus belli (or bellow) to Lieutenant
Barry, nt the 4th street and Snyder avenue
station house, today.
And worse than the slghtful goatly bleat
ings, they asserted, were" the suicidal at
tempts of "Annie" Silver, by consuming their
choicest flowers, their doorknobs and their
lingerie, until they and, their other suffer
ing neighbors couldn't stand It any longer.
Mrs. Silver, who lives nt 637 McKean
street, tried to explain and to excuse
"Annie."
Hadn't little Louis Silver, 3H years old,
been sick, and wasn't goat's milk ordered by
tho doctor as necessary for him? And
how could ono get goat's milk without a
goat? And In order to be little Louis'
wetnurse It was essential that "Annie"
must bo separate from her own kids. So
why shouldn't "Annie" mourn and moan
In her maternal anguish? Or why In her
grief shouldn't she wander around Dudley
street or elsewhere searching for the chil
dren of which she had been bereft? It was
no more than goat nature. Louts must have
his goat's milk even at tho expense of
Dudley street's "goat"
Lieutenant Barry la tender-hearted. He
tried to appease the rival forces, but Anally
compromised to the extent of ordering that
If "Annie" again ventured forth after night
fall. Sergeant Brodle and his squad were
to pay no heed to her pathetic walling, but
to corral her like an ordinary vagrant and
bring hor to the station house. If her
temporarily orphaned brood could not be
located and she be restored to them, then
I
"Annio" would be sent to tho city pound
to sleep ctcrnnlly and Dudley street resume
Its Interrupted nocturnal dreams.
