Some day, on the ground our brave men have hallowed, there will be erected America's Lafayette Abbey like unto London's Westminster Abbey, where for all time generation after generation will pay tribute to the thousands who counted their lives not too dear to give to defend their country from invasion and to sustain the honor of its flag. Why shouldn't the city of Washington, seat of our government, have a national unsectarian cathedral on the mall of the Washington Monument, in which shall repose those who have most gloriously served their country and who shall come to the day of rest from their labors, thus becoming a shrine for all national memorial services?

In Flanders fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place ; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields! Take up our quarrel with the foe ! To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch. Be yours to lift it high ! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies blow In Flanders fields!

And we will keep True faith with you who lie asleep, With each a cross to mailc his bed, And poppies blowing overhead Where once his own life blood lan led! So let your rest be sweet and deep In Flanders fields! Tear not that e have died for naught, The toich e threw to us1 wo caught! Ten million hands will hold it high, And Fieedom's light shall never die! We've learned the lesson that ye taught In Flanders fields! n. W. Lillaul A Reminiscence of the Centennial Fourth of July II was the day of days, during the Centennial the Fourth of July, 1876. The writer had the honor of being the Chairman for the celebration of the day. It took place in Inde pendence Square, which was filled with people. All along the stieet front great grand stands vcre elected, wheic Gilmoic had his supcib band and 1000 singers. The staging for the city's officials was over the steps, in the Squaie, under the tiees, wheic the settlers of Philadelphia had gathered when the same old Bell that is there yet tang out and n tepresentative of the Convention announced fiom the old worn steps that the Declaration of Inde pendence had been signed. All the streets leading into Independence Square vveie thionged with people who made at least an effort to get inside of the Square, to hear the gicat son of Heniy A. Wise, of Virginia, John Saigcnt Wise, lead the Declaration of Independence, and the great address of William M. Evaits, later Sena tor from New York. In the front of the old Hall, on Chestnut stieet, a stand had been elected for the living Piesidents and other officials of the United States and of the city. The militaiy of the United States and of the city and also of the sunounding country had or ganized a parade. Chestnut street, and the loute over which they were to march were roped off and vacant. There was a long waiting of the ciowds and masses of people who had assembled. Finally, by some signal, it was learned that tho tioops had started. They came on in front of Independence Hall and, amid cheers, the gray headed sun ivoi s of former wars slowly and stead fastly matched past until a sudden halt was made directly in ftont of General SlTeiman and other officers of the United States Aimy, who weie among the living, in 1876. The commander of the troops was Genet al John F. Haiti anft, and one of the divisions was led by Uiigadier Gencial J. P. Banksron. Just as the lat ter lifted his swoid to salute the reviewing officets, the magnificent horse on which he lode slipped on the smooth pavement and in a moment the stal wart Genet al was thrown and the hoisc fell on him. Police officets uishcd out and piactically lifted the horse, and without n leg bioken or an aim sprained or crushed in any way, the splendid old soldier quickly lose to his feet, mounted his hoise and gave the command to the trops to march on. Hundicds of eyes saw the unavoidable accident, and thousands of hands applauded the quick, youth ful leap of the man to fulfill his duty. And there are those living, like the writer, who have oftentimes since that day said: "In war and in peace there arc many unavoidable falls, and great is the man who can leap to the saddle again."
