Sons of Veterans, (Irand Army of the Republic u cooroinso of citizens on foot and thirty 'Curriugcs weiidi'd their way to Rculuh, whero tho solemn and impressive ceremonies of tho day were observed with more than Its usual dgniflcanco. It Is a lamentable fact that many of those who yearly at tend this "festival of the dead'' are drawn there by Idle curlodty and give little or no thought to the deep solem nity of tho occasion. Monday there was a marked absence of nilrthfulness and tho entire throng which ussembled in "Clod's acre" seemed imbued with a sense of rovereneo and a feeling of pa triotism unknown on fomior Decoration Days. The Sons of Veterans now take a prominent part in tho exercises, which Improves, In a marked xlegreo, the Im prossivunoss of the ceremonies at the c.metury. There now eloop In Delilah twonty-scvon bruve hearts who, when tho starry emblem of liberty was as sailed by traitor hands, donned the blue ami marched with firm, unfaltering step into tho very jaws of death, where "the brother blindly shed tho brother's blood, and father rashly slaughtered his own son.'' The (mounds beneath which they now repose wore garlanded with sweetest flowers, and as loving hands placed tho beautiful tributes of honor on tho hallowed spot where, "Secure from worldlyehancus and mis haps, whore lurks no treuson, no envy swells, no storms, no noise, but silence and eternal sleep." Tears, which brough t no shamo to the chock, bedewed the floral offerings. At 2.00 v. m. memorial services were hold in Centennial hall. Capt. L. M. Truxal, of DuBols, was introduced and spoke feelingly and eloquently of the event which brought into prominence this Memorial Day. The Captain Is a fluent speaker and tho audience dwelt with rapt attention on each word as he so vividly portrayed the tragic scones enacted from Sumptcr to Appomattox. He paid a glowing tribute to the patri otic, devoted women who, during the durk ages of civil strife, eo nobly and unselfishly gave husbands, sons and brothers to tho cause of freedom and right, and who in a thousand ways ren dered aid to the noblest cause over espoused by war. A prior engagement for tho evening mado it necossary that Capt. Truxul and his wife should be In DuBols, by which act the entertainment of tho'W. U. C. was deprived of his part in their excellent programme. Decoration Day at Emerickville. Decoration Day was fittingly observed by the patriotio people of Emerickville and vicinity.

Large Crowd-Plenty of fluslc flood Time. Decoration Day In Ileeehwoods has come to 1st looked uhu as a big day, and the coplo turn out rn mimm to do honor to the occasion. Homo thirty odd years ago when the country called for soldiers to light for home and country, bravo and sturdy men of the Heeeb wikhIs dropped the plough and woods man's axe and responded to tho coun try's call. As a consequence the Ileeehwoods cemetery has noblo sons sleeping beneath Its sod, while others who worm the bluo still live to help strew flowers over the gruves of the th Irleen coinrinles now resting In that, "silent city." Two yearn ago tho Washington Memorial Aiwiclatloii whs organi.ed and sluco that time this day lias boon receiving even more attention than it hud before. Monday was an IdoBl day for such n gathering and an unusually Inrgu crowd of peoplo attend ed the Memorial services. It is esti mated that nigh unto 2.00(1 people were present. Before nine o'clock Monday morning conveyances began to drive Into the grovo at tho Waitu school house from all directions, and at ten o'clock the lurge crowd formed in line and marched to tho cemetery as follows: Tunnery bund from Falls Creek, Coal Glenn Bun day school, Ileeehwoods Presbyterian Sunday school, M.

Huzza, of Ilazen, offered prayer and J. O. Allen delivered a short address, then tho graves were covered with beautiful wreathes and hotiuots of flow ers. By that tlmo the "Inner man" needed attention and the crowd returned to tho grove at tho Walto school house whore tho .choice nod tempting edi bles that had been carefully prepared by tho gsxl housewives and their faith ful daughters, were more than sumpled by tho sterner sex. After dlunur the balance of the pro grum was taken up at tho platform In tho grove. The Fulls Creek bund played a selection then tho Bocohwoods choir, lead by W. C. Smith, who bus been leader of tho Prosbyterlun choir In Dccchwoods about thirty years, made the wulkin ring with a patriotic song. Judge Hurry Whlto, of Indlunu, was then introduced as tho prominontejieak or of the day. Judge White might be an excellent speaker in a building, but ho I not able to hold tho attention of such a vast audience in the open air. Ho talked by "flu and jerks." Some tlmel his voice was raised to a high pitch and then it was curbed so low that those away hack could not hear him at all. Judge White kept the plat form about one hour and a half. Then followed instrumental music and singing by a male quartett. Austin Blukesleu, of Coal Glen, delivered a short patriotic and enthusiastic address. Mr. Schaff nor, of Fulls Crouk, sung a solo. The president of tho Association told a wur story about some good shooting ho did, and then called for remenlsences from other old soldiers, but the comrades woro not in a humor for story telling and the assembly was dismissed with tho benediction by Rev.

The rabbit and tho rut seenre a enrrrnt oi aid by forming n bolt nolo in rntinnetib I with their system of passngns, but tlia fox, the Lndgi r mid iniiuy of the fluid Tolas and mice seem iudifforont to any snob precaution. There Is no doubt that whatever gnvn the first impulse to bnr row, many animals look npou this, to as most unpleasant exertion, as a form of actual amusement. It also confers a right of property. Prairie dogs constantly Ret to work to dig holes merely for the love of the thing. If they cannot have a suitable place to exercise their talent in, they will gnaw Into boxes or chest of draw ers, and there burrow, to the great det riment of the clothes therein contained. Ill an inclosed pruiria dog "town" they have been known to mine nntil the no perinenn'bont earth collapsed and buried the greater number. A young prairie dog, let loose in a small, gravel iloored house, iiiHtimtly dugn hole large enough to sit in, turund round In it mid bit the flit person who attempted to tonoh him. Property gnvo him oonrngo, for before ho bad bnsu as mcok as a mouse. It I: noticeable that the two weakest mid least iinmerons of our mice, the dormouse and the harvest mouse, do not burrow, but muke nests, and that these do not multiply or maintain tuolr nnm' burs, liko tho harrowing mice nnd voles. But tho fact that there aro members of very closely allied species, some of which do burrow, while others do not, se'ins to indicate that tiio habit is an acquired one. , In this connection it is worth noting that many animals which do not bar row at other times form bnrrows la which to conceal and proteot their young, or, if they do linrrow, make a different kind of a more elaborate char acter. Among these nursery bnrrows are those of tbn dog, the fox and sand martin, the kingfisher and the sbel druko. Foxhound litters cover do so well as when the mother is allowod to make a burrow on the satiny side of a straw stuck. In time she will work this five or six feet into the stack and keep the puppies nt the far end, while she lies in the entrance. Vixens either dig or appropriate a clean burrow for their oubs, which is a natural hubit, or at any rate, ono acqnired previously to the nso of earth by adult foxes. Londoo Spectator.
