Memorial Day Custom of the North
west Indorsed by Taft.
President Taft, ncting on the sugges
tion of J. W. namllton of St. Paul, has
joined in a movement to make general
tho wearing of a njirlg of evergreen or
a knot of the uutlonal colors next Me
morial day.
In a letter to Senator Ciapp, who
transmitted Mr. Hamilton's request,
tho president says in part:
"Mr. Hamilton proposes that tho cus
tom be established among school chil
dren. I think It might well be extend
ed to include nil those whoso reverence
for bravo deeds and lives sacrificed for
country creates in them tho desire to
pay somo tribute to tho honor of the
dead and tho gallantry of those who
still live. I earnestly hopo that tho
suggestion will become a custom. It is
tut a small recognition of a great sac-rlflco."

LOGAN'S GRAVE DECORATED.
Annual Services at Tomb of Founder
of Memorial Day.
One of the graves most elaborately
decked with flowers each Memorial
day Is that of General John A. Logan,
founder of the day. General Logan
had tho unparalleled honor of being
thrice elected commander In chief of
tlio Grand Army of the; Hcpubllc, and
It was while hcrvlng- In this capacity
in 1S0S that he designated May 30 as
a day to Ik; observed by all Grand Ar
my posts throughout the nation, on
which they were to scatter flowers
over the graves of tho soldiers.
General Logan's tomb Is found near
one of the gates of the cemetery of
tho Soldiers' home, Washington. Many

der him and consider It one of their
religious duties to remember the last
resting place of their old commander.
Every Memorial day the orator se
lected for tho occasion speaks of Gen
eral Logan's service to the old soldiers
and to tho nation In founding tho cer
emony. These meetings are held from
a roofed platform surrounded by pil
lars, after tho Btylo of a Greek tem
ple. This platform Is on a slope just
above the tomb. A visit Is then made
to tho tomb Itself, which Is In the
form of a vault surrounded by a low
box hedge and guarded by a cannon.
Frequently these services aro under
tho auspices of tho Grand Army, but
the soldiers from tho home always
have their part
The home itself is unique, In that It
was In existence before the civil war.
It Is designed for members of tho reg

Lincoln's Pass Valueless.
At ono time during tho civil war,
when tho Union army was making
great efforts to break through tho cor
don of Confederate troops which de
fended IUchmond, a gentleman called
on President Lincoln in Washington
and asked for a pass for IUchmond.
"Well," said Lincoln, "I would lie very
happy to oblige you if my passes were
respected, but tho fact Is, sir, I have
within the last two years given pass
es to 250.000 men to go to IUchmond,
and not one has got there yet."

CirA'l'TlCIt XIII.
Morning found us near a forsaken
camp a plateau on tho mountain
side, smoke ascending from a dying
camp lire, but farther down somo
burning onrbers gavo an occasional
flaro. Hounding some hushes we
discovered a person with his feet to
ward tho Arc, his gun in his arms,
sound asleep. As tho panther hunts
Its prey, Meany and llobinson sprang
upon the man, whllo Durbrow
grasped tlio gun. Tlio fellow said ho
belonged to Champ Ferguson's band.
Whllo wo were under the Impression
this guerrilla chief operated mostly
In Kentucky, wo well know tho
character of this set. lilo would glvo
us no satisfaction ns to tho way. Sul
len, morose, independent. Wo do
not wonder at this when we observe
tho busily eyebrows that grow down
the side of his face a good Indica
tion of a mean skunk.
We did not want this white ele
phant on our hands. Ulis gun nnd
the six cartridges were certainly a
great boon to us, but not his carcass,
lie had a fair opportunity to answer
our Interrogations, but he gavo
vague answers and voluble. Wo are
now suspicious. If wo loose him, no
tolling how soon he will have his
gang onto us. To take him nlong,
Impossible.
Up the mountain we climb again
on our plain trail; we hurry away.
Threo days and nights have we wan
dered along. This wearisome wind
ing path, not a sign of friend or
foe, not n shot left to kill another
fowl. One, then tho other drops by
tho wayside. Ceaselessly we go hack
and push and pull each other along.
First ono, then another at times
would plead to be left to dlo, to be
relieved of this gnawing hunger, to
rest their worn and torn limbs for
all eternity. It was preferable to
suffering longer. The mind was be
coming weak and flighty.
A few more hours of this misery
and we were done; the last thought
of a hope was fast leaving. It was
beyond tho endurance of man.
Three days now without a morsel of
food had so preyed upon our system
and strength that we could not even
stand erect. It was tho end.
As wo rounded up our little band
that night, seeing that every comrado
was present or accounted for, each
in his own way, according to his
teachings and belief, asked the Su
preme Uelng of tho Universe to tako
them away from their sufferings.
Two became violent and tho strong
er In mind would keep them from
their intentions.
Tho first to awake from that last
sleep on the mountain was Lytell,
who, out away from us on a project
ing rock, was gesticulating In a
frenzied way with hands toward
high heaven. For fear ho would
jump off that high rock to destruc
tion, Hagenbach crawled out to In
duce him to return and die together,
not suicide. Hagenbach could only
TO HAUXKSS THE PRLAWAHK.
Seven Millions of Dollars Have lleen
Spent on the Project Bank of
Kngluud Said to bo Interested.
To supply with power New York,
Philadelphia and that expenso of
territory between Port Jervls, N. Y.,
and tho cities mentioned, Canadian
and American capitalists aro specu
lating on a gigantic water power
plant ten or fifteen miles below
Port Jervls on tho Delaware river,
says tho Scranton Times.
Tho plant that Is in mind would
ho bigger than tho great plant at
Niagara Falls, and supply power as
cheap, If not cheaper, than tho Niag
ara Falls station.
Representatives of the men inter
ested have been In and around Port
Jervls for somo time. They repre
sent what has como to bo known as
tho "Canadian Syndicate." Because
of tho magnitude of tho proposition
plans have been guarded, but enough
Is ascertained to lead to tho bollof
that tho Bank of England Is back of
tho mon who may flnanco tho pro
ject. Still others assort that a crowd
of Montreal capitalists aro back of
tho scheme.
Securing IjiikI Options.
Options have been obtained on
many acres of land on both sides of
the Delaware river at Port Jervls,
Mllford, Barryvllle, Narrowsburg,
Cochecton, along tho Mongaup river
and tho Calllcoon Creok, which aro
tributaries of tho Delaware aud tho
well known Shohola Falls, In Plko
county. In somo instances tho land
has been bought outright and tho
result has been a big boom in land
prices and keen Interest among laud
owners.
Tho proposed dam and power plant
would bo on a much larger scale than
tho Paupack project of Colonel L. A.
Watres and local capitalists, and
would In no way Interfere. Tho lat
ter plan only to supply tho anthra
cite region. The Canadian syndlcato
would havo tho two biggest cities In
tho country, excoptlng Chicago, as
their principal market. These cities
alono would consume an unlimited
amount of power and tho dlstanco
thnt It would havo to ho carrlod
wouldn't bo much over soventy-flvo
miles. In addition thereto thero aro
scores of towns nnd cities on routo,
which would afford vast opportuni
ties. A charter will likely bo ob
tained in Now York, New Jersey and
this state.
Several million dollars havo al
ready boon spent, It Is said, and un
limited cash Js ready to push tho
project forward. A dozen surveyors,
sent by tho syndicate aro at Port
Jervls and havo picked out a camp
sito at tho mouth of tho Mongaup
river. They will inako surveys and

Oil, what a grand, great, glorious
and magnificent sight! Looking
nway to tho enst. whoro land and
sky seemed to nieot, a long lino of
rose color stretched away over tho
sky, deepened Into crimson, changed
Into gold, rays of light shot upward,
quickly followed by the sun spread
ing Its brightening rays over tho
wide expanse, and tipped tho forest
foliage with copper. And there, way
dciow on tlio 'ucnutirul plains of Ton
nessee, where tho murmuring wa
tors of the French Uroad go on their
way to minglo with tho far wander
ing tide of the mighty gulf, worn
and faint and lacking food, wo be

Liberty.
Comrades of that long escape,
Of days and nights of pain.
Should these lines ever reach your
sight
Kecall that scene again,
Days and nights of ceaseless march
ing Through tho heart of the enemy's
land.
With burning tears of deep emotion,
I can seo that shoeless band
Hurrying through the forest path
ways In the dead of the silent night,
With a hush of a deep death spell
Hovering around us in our flight.
Yet wo turned not from our reckon
ing, '
But onward pressed among rocks
and briers,
With bleeding feet and limbs uncov
ered. Trying to evade their picket fires.
Fed 'by friends, the man in bondage,
Fleeing from the white man's
door;
From their rebel masters' leader,
They, our famishing forms did re
store. And we told them of the Northland,
And tho hopo they might retain;
And their songs of Halleluiah
Echoed o'er the Southern plain.
When at last wo reached the moun
tain Far above the forest depths,
Worn and faint and lacking rai
ment. There we saw the golden drifts
Of a land we knew was freedom,
By Its brilliancy at night.
By the sun shining on Its glaciers
Wo beheld tho beautiful sight.
But, oh, when by golden light,
The sun lit up tho valley "below,
And chased away the mists from the
earth
Where tho 'French Broad waters
flow,
Wo beheld our flag In Its splendor.
As It kissed the breeze of the
morn.
And our sweethearts sang a sweet
roprlevo
Whllo they kissed her from whom
they were born.
THE END.
their outfit Indicates that they aro
prepared to stay awhile.
To Sell at Wholesale.
So far as can be gathered, tho pro
moters of tho idea figure on selling
tho power that such a plant would
make to companies In tho towns and
cities In tho territory served, rather
than to the individual.
In the localities whoro the options
havo been gotten people havo beon
Impressed for several months that
the project Is a big one. Because of
the secrecy which has veiled tho do
ings of tho promoters, somo ihavo in
clined to the thought that It Is mere
speculation on tho part of daring
promoters who want to bo In a posi
tion to tako advantage of tho move
ment embodying conservation of nat
ural resources, theorizing that tho
possibilities of the Delaware for
water power may he appreciated in
tho near futuro to tho ovent of In
teresting men of means and thus
glvo thoso who hold options on tho
land a chance to make a lot of
money. This latter theory, however,
has not been sustained so far. On
tho contrary what evidonco thero Is
would seem to Indicate that thoso In
terested mean business.
During tho past ten days, It Is
said, somo $7.r,000 worth of options
along tlie river havo been picked
up by a Buffalo lawyer working un
der cover.
SOMKTIIIXG WOltTII KNOWING.
Why Wo Aro Never the Same After
Typhoid Tover.
Tho statement was mado recently
that a man was never qulto tho
samo after passing through a dls
enso caused by tho poisons of germs.
This is especially truo of typhoid
fever.
'Such a statomont doos not neces
sarily Imply that tho person who
has been through the courso of tho
fever and como out with all tho in
ternal organs apparently uninjured,
Is still to romaln nn invalid. No; It
means that thoro hnvo been somo
scars or Inflamed tissues remaining
In tho body, and while they mai
nover causo tho slightest trouble, on
tho other hand they must bo consid
ered in nil futuro work.
Tho germs of typhoid fovor fre
quently attack tho brain nnd nervous
system; nnd no matter how thor
oughly tho euro has been offected
tho disturbance to tho nervous sys
tem often romalns throughout life.
Whoro tho fover has occurred in
young persons much of this offoct
may bo outgrown if tho child Is al
lowed to romaln frco from all strain
and run about whllo it is growing In
all its parts. CBut romombor, In
thoso whoso growth Is completed
and well along In life, thbro Is not
that reparative process which exists
in tho young.
Tho poisonous materials aro, as a
rule, taken Into tlio body with
food, and carried Into tho blood
from a portion of tho Intesflncs. It
Is at the point of greatest absorption
that tho poisons romnln. Just as
soon as this absorption commences
tlssuo changes tnko place, and as
the poiHons go throughout tho body
they nro certain to find somo weak
point for destruction. Just where
this will ho depends upon tho condi
tion and Inheritance of tho Individ
ual. As the course of tho fever pro
gresses toward a favorahlo outcome,
nutrition regulates Itself and wo say
that the patient Is recovering. And
with our present knowledge of tlio
dlsenso and Its causes recovery Is
usual. But don't forgot that the
body Is not in tho same condition It
was before tho attack.
When ono reflects how In all
parts of the body largo portions of
Important organs aro destroyed dur
ing tho typhoid process, ono can
readily understand tho reason for the
long period of convalescence; why
weakness continues and why It Is not
always possible for every organ to
regain Its fornior perfect condition.
A tremendous lot of new mater
ial has to lie manufactured In tho
body to replace lost material. Tho
human machine has been fearfully
racked and torn. Tho extent of all
this racking and Injury depends, of
course upon tho ago, condition and
habits of the patient and tho virul
ence of tho disease.
Man's recreative powers are won
derful; If It were not so, long ago
would the world havo been depopu
lated; but there are somo delicate
organs, such as tho nervo centres
and the brain, which never fully re
cover their full strength. Such coa
dltlons do not mean that there will
be any mental disturbance) or pro
nounced nervous Instability, but
that tho sustaining power Is weak
ened. One should, after an attack of ty
phoid or any similar germ disease,
remember all this and keep over in
mind that no matter how well they
really feel, the human machine must
be started again on Its dally work,
slowly, carefully, until all its differ
ent parts have been tested and It Is
known just whero thero Is any
weakness or retarded new growth.
On account of the general well
feeling .after recovery from a germ
disease, the individual Is apt to
overstrain and overwork somo organ.
Then comes a breakdown from
which It Is often Impossible to re
cover. This Is the real reason why
wo see those who have apparently
recovered again ill from nervous
troubles, perhaps liono disease, or
some form of malnutrition.
Ignorance, carelessness and (es
pecially in tho country) stupid ad
herence to grandfather's Ideas are
the causes of typhoid and other wa
ter and food-born diseases. Typhoid
fever can be totally eradicated; there
is no excuse for its prevalence. In
tho cities It Is under fair control.
It Is In the country, up In the hills
that ignorance enables it to thrive.
