THH DAY AT REYNOLDSVILLti. I BIO DAY IN BHECHWOODS.
Sons of Veterans Took an Active Part
at the Cemetery.
Mi'inoriul Day, with its sad memories,
was observed with seemingly unusual
Interest In I ley n ildsvllhi. Old Glory
fluttered In the breeze over Main street
at several Miinli. and most nil the busi
ness houses, and many prlvutu resi
dences, wero udorncd with flags unil
hunting. At mi ral ly hour the street
worn thronged with Hioplo who eiimo
from all iHilnlii, bedecked with patriotic
emblem of various designs, unci In
whoso hand were garlands of uutiirc's
bloKHoniH with wlileli to adorn the graves
of our soldier di-iul. Allhe hour of il.4.i

Ilrlng party. 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. Tho lino of murcr.was
formed at U.HO a. M., as follows: West
Roynoldsville martial band, Jr. O. U.
A. ty. Council of Deomor's Cross Roads,
P. O. S. of A. and M. E. Sunday school

marched to M. E. cemetery where ap

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. E. and Baptist Sun
day schools of Aliens Mills, citizens, P.
O. 8. of A. of Aliens Mills, old veterans,
flower committee, Alpine cornet band
of Aliens Mills. At the cemetery Rev.
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. Georgo H.
Hill.
Mombers of the Momoriul Association
bold a business meeting In the school
house after the platform meeting was
dismissed. The old officers, J. G. Allen
president, Fred Harvey vice-president,
M. II. Smith secretary, and John
Stewart treasurer, were re-elected.
Other important business of the Asso
ciation was attended to, hut as the
scribe had a pressing Invitation to take
supper with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hunt
er, and eating time was near at hand,
we did not tarry to get full particulars
of the business mooting.

ANIMALS UNDERGROUND.
Ilnrrnwlng its It In Ii-rirm1 fy Various
ftpmilns of Mftmitmla.
Ventilation, or rather tho want of It,
must he n diflloulty In the underground
life of almost nil mammal. 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
