OOKINQ back through the vista of 38 yearB we recall 'the grand spectacle of the first observance of the ceremonies of Memorial day, under Order No. 11, of Gem John A. Logan, then commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. May 30, 1868, dawned gloriously, as if heaven had smiled propitiously for the day.

-Unexpectedly to Gen. Logan the order elicited the hearUest co-operation of all loyal with the Grand Army of the Republic In honoring the memory of the heroic dead, whose bodies lay In almost every city, village churchyard in the land. The survivors of the civil war were then a large part of the population in all communities. They seized with great enthusiasm the suggestion of commemoratioQ of the names and deeds of their departed comrades. Generously assisted by patriotic people, the heaven-born ceremony was Inaugurated with so much reverential eclat as to make an indelible impression on the whole nation and establish its permanency forevermore.

So interesting were the' ceremonies that congress made an appropriation for the publication of the reports of the proceedings at many places In almost every state and territory, as also in Old and New Me'klco. The most imposing and impressive exercises were those at Arlington, where then slept more than 22,000 heroic dead. Two thousand one hundred of that number are in the catacombs of the granite mausoleum upon which is inscribed Unknown. It may be of Interest to many who have not visited this Valhalla of American patriots to read the inscription chiseled on this tomb: Beneath this stone repose the bohes of two thousand one hundred and eleven unknown soldiers, gathered after the war from the fields of Bull Run and the route to Rappahannock. Their, remains could not be Identified, but their names and deeds are recorded In the archives of their country; and Its grateful citizens honor them as of their noble army of martyrs.

May they rest In peace! September, A. D. 1866. Surmounting the tomb are four rifled field pieces, one at each corner, and a stack of cannon balls. On Decoration day, 1868, floral shields formed the center of each Bide, and upon them were appropriate Inscriptions.

On the north side: On Fames eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread. And Glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. On the west side: Willow, Rattan, Early English, Green Ash and Rush Suites, Rockers and Arm Chairs. Extensive Line. Where once their heart of youth was fain Its rich florescence, white and red.

Upon the field of strife to shed Folded, the petals that remain; The morning glories of their youth That drooped not In the midday drought Have shut on Peace; as to a stem Stripped bare, thS banners cling of them All, hath the beauty vanished vain Their glory to invoke again. HAD TJtRTOlO EHMS. How Gnat Naiumt of ff Ptuitam 'r mid. A Most countries which have died have gone down fighting. The Roman empire perished like that.

The empird of the west became so weak at last that it could make no stand against its enemies. Rome was sacked by the barbarians, and eventually became, not the capital of a vast empire, but the city of the popes, over which the pontiffs reigned kings. finally, the city was taken without a real fight by the soldiers of the king of Italyv The empire of the east had Its capital at Constantinople. For centuries it was the greatest power In the world. But it became honeycombed with vice and enervated with pride and luxury.

Also It grew old and weak. Then the Turks made 'a tigerish spring on Constantinople and took It by storm. The last of the Greek emperors died sword in hand, and his de- scendants are living In England to-day in very humble situations. Egypt, once so powerful and famous under the Pharaohs, was conquered by and was afterward swamped by the The great moguls used to reign In India. In the days of Queen Elizabeth the mougbul or emperor of Delhi, as he was sometimes called was so powerful that he thought It a vast concession on his part to receive an embassy from the maiden queen.

But as time went on the great ra-ahs, or tributary kings, rebelled against the moghulq, India was rent asunder by the wars between rival ra-ahs. This gave the Europeans a chance. France at first held the upper band, and nearly conquered the land. But then England drove France back, and seized the empire of the great moghuls for herself. The heir of the moghuls still enjoys a pension given by the British government Poland used to occupy a big place on the map of Europe.

At one time it was much larger and stronger than Russia. But Poland perished through her own faults and follies. The mass of the common people were slaves in all but name. Hence the nobles and the people never stood together In times of danger or disaster. Poland was a big country but it was divided against itself; and Russia, Prussia and Austria combined were more powerful.

They all three joined hands and each took a large share of Poland in 1772. In 1793 the trio of robbers made a second swoop. Only the ghost of Poland was left. Another year saw the end of the tragedy. The last remnants of Poland were swallowed up by Russia.

Prussia and Austria. The fate of the republic of Venice Is one of the most dramatic in all history. Its doges ranked as the equals of the proudest kings. Its alliance was coveted by the greatest powers. All real power rested In the hands of the dreaded Council of Ten and the Secret Three.

The latter was a trio of living mysteries, and were known by name to practically no one in Venice. So the government of Venice was a terror to its own people and the outside world. Then Napoleon came upon the scene and the Lion of St. Mark licked the dust. WILLOW ARM CHAIRS, With Cushions, $5.00 Sheppard Knapp Co.

Nevertheless, all these unmeaning c-jlindeis and rolls of superfluous cloth we carry upon our backs once had some meaning. For instance, the two buttons and the rudimentary tails of the morning coat, and the vestlgal tails of the sack coat, are reminders of the time when the long tails were looped up to enable the wearer to ride without sitting upon his clothes. Similarly the buttons upon the sleeves originated with the time when the coat and shirt formed one garment, whose sleeves were tucked up when the wearer got busy.

It is not the place of disgust and dismay, but of sorrow and meditation.

In addition to the thousands In the mausoleum there are hundreds of graves in the grounds marked Unknown." But few of the present generation know that the hallowed bones in the mausoleum and those in the graves whose headstones bear the melancholy word Unknown, were, through the efforts of that Incomparable, patriotic woman, Clara Barton, gathered from the many battlefields of Virginia and from isolated places in the forests around them, whither wounded soldiers had crawled and died, and whose bodies were undiscovered by the burial corps, who at best could do little more than cover over their fallen comrades with a few spadefuls of earth after the sanguinary struggle of many hours, before they were obliged to press forward to hold advanced positions. The springtime rains, the summer suns, the winter snows beat upon the hastily made mounds or trenches and laid bare the aacred forma which were soon naught save whitened skeletona. Clara Barton conceived the Idea of gathering them together and placing them In scientific hands bo as to classify and inter them in Arlington.

'Some years ago an old man with silvery hair was led Into the cyclo-rama of Getlysburg by a bright-faced little girl. Aged and feeble, he sat down, while the child described to him the features of the picture.

Occasionally he asked her a question as In doubt of the accuracy of her account. She had described the charge of the confederate columns and the struggle at tfie1 stone wajl, when he asked: But wheres the artillery. May? Do you mean the big guns? Theyre over there on the hill in The Coming Countries. Southern America and Africa are the coming countries. A half century ago or more the great geographer, Arnold Guyot, predicted that within two or three generations the reaction of the east upon the west would produce an equilibrium, and that then the reaction of the north upon the south would begin In 'earnest, and the great streams of population and traflic would flow at right angles to those which they have followed during historical times.
