DECORATION DAY. All over the country whether in the north or In the south, today will be celebrated in honor of those who fought and died in order that "the great debate" of whether or not this country should be one and indivisible might be settled.' The veterans of the great conflict will gather to place flowers on the graves of not only those who found death In the struggle but also on the graves of those who have passed from ttieir ranks since last Decoration Day. Each year sees tho number of the latter constantly increasing, and it will not be many years until the last of them has reported to his commander in the hereafter. The thirtieth of "May has been
known as "Decoration Day" ever since General Logan's order in 1868 officially set aside-for the observance of reminiscent patriotism." To that passing generation which lived through the horrors and sufferings of the titanic Civil War the date is eloquent as (fortunately) it cannot be
to any others. It recalls to the vet
eran the hardships and perils through which he passed. To the woman he left behind it recalls days of anxiety
and worrying, and anxious scannings of the "dead and wounded" columns
of the papers. To the children of that
age, since grown to manhood. Deco
ration Day brings back, flitting recol
lections of the household filled with
Joy over the news of some great vie
tory, or depressed over the report of
a disastrous defeat, and the, conse
quent worry over the fate of some
one near and dear who may have participated in the battle. To those of
the present generation it only recalls the exploits of some favorite hero as
told in the school histories. All of us.
however, no matter of what genera
tion, cannot help feeling a, thrill of pride and reverence sweep "over us when we see the veterans on their
way to the cemetery, to pay their re
membrances to the comrades who
have passed on before. And when they too are gone the present genera
tion and those coming hereafter will
observe the thirtieth of May, by deco
rating their graves in loving remem
brance of the work they have done
for their country.

"How's that I don't see anything wrong with his meal" went back from the north end of the festive board. "That's all well and good" returned the southern one, "but what I refer to is that Col.

A GREAT DAY FOR
PEACEFUL BETHEL (Continued From Page One.)
ter than shouts, graves, stronger than thrones. The value of celebrating
Memorial Day, Mr. Condo Bald, was
not only in remembering the honored dead, but in calling their deeds to mind and giving us renewed zeal and love of country. He said that the dream of fighting fields was no more
and that the lessons now to be learned were those of preserving and perpetuating the government by ; peaceful tneans.
Important Duty to Perform, , Continuing he said: . v "We have, as Important at duty to
perform as' those did to whom we pay
tribute. The National structure meant no more to them than Tt should to us at the present time. The neces
sity of guarding its sacred precepts no
more or no less. The Question for us
is whether or not we comprehend nd understand what is necessary for the preservation and perpetuation of them. Greater problems never confronted us. There are no new riehrs nt niti
to strivefor, but there is a problem
that or upholding the time honored rights." There is another problem the' annihilation of the domestic foe The ,war of right and might is oh us once more, might in the persons of unrelentless, heartless gold hunters. There are two paths which lead to the solution of these problems, concerning public warfare. One is that of bloody war, the other is that of the bloodless ballots. As the warriors, whose memory we here honor, went forth inthe sixties to the stern command of their officers, so today we should go forth to the polls with our conscience guiding us. Our greatest need is heroes of peace." Senator Klrkman Speaks. 'Following Mr. Condo. Senator Klrk
man spoke, on the subject "The Unknown Dead. He too brought regrets from Mr. Watson. Senator Kirkmansaid that he had received word from Congressman Watson in which he expressed himself as being very reluctant to remaining In Washington when he' might be among his frtends at nethel. Senator Klrkman said that he had been much disappointed at not getting to hear Congressman Wat eon but that he felt much better after hearing the fine address of Mr. Condo. Mr. Klrkman thought that he had many things to be happy for. One of these particularly he said was opportunity of being with the neighbors of his childhood. He felt that such a place as Bethel with Its setting of peace and contentment was a most appropriate spot id do honor to the country's soldier dead. -The Soldier Traits. In studying the history of the Re
bellion Senator Kirkman said there were always two traits of the soldiers characters v.hich he had thought the American people should keep sacred and secure. The first of these he said was the confidence of the soldiers. They had confidence in their cause, their fellows and their leaders. The second was duty. His duty was implanted in his heart and each had taken an oath to perform it. Senator Kirkman said that although we should strike down fraud whenever it showed its snaky head, yet that the people should have confidence in their neighbors and in their public officers. He showed that the country was now blessed with many able, patriotic and self sacrificing leaders. Mr. Ratliff Last Speaker. Walter Ratliff was the last speaker of the afternoon. He said that he had come more as a visitor than as a speaker, having become so accustomed to journeying to Bethel in that capacity to eat of their opossum and sweet potatoes. Mr. Ratliff said that he always looked on the veterans of the civil war as having a special, distinction over most veterans whose deeds blazoned the pages of history. This distinction he felt was the cause for which the soldiers fought, not for lust and conquest but with Liberty written on their banners.
Following Mr. Ratllff's speech the
veterans and many others in the au
dience laid wreaths and bouquets of
flowers on the monument erected -to the unknown dead in the front yard
of the church.
The committee named to have
charge of the next year's program, is
as follows: Irvin Anderson, C. E. Wi

Representative-to-be Prevents a Run

The real excitement of the day was
shortly after dinner when a horse became frightened at a .chugging automobile and started to cut all kinds of wild capers. Several persons were standing near and it must be admitted that some of them were Richmond men. No one however acted promptly or perhaps Mr. Ratliff jumped so quickly to the horse's head that no one else had a chance. Whatever the situation may have been Mr. Ratliff stopped the horse and won the plaudits of the bystanders. Someone suggested that he be given a Carengie hero medal. - .

An apparatus that makes It possible
to measure the seventy-millionth part of an inch has been Invented by Dr. Shaw of University college of Nottingham, England. It Is so delicate that It cannot be used while there ia traffic

A railroad is to be built to the region where the Mocha coffee grows. It will extend from Ilodeldah, on the Red sea, to Sannaa, the largest city in southern Arabia, with a population of 75,000. Railway traffic through the great SImplon tunnel Is to be carried on by the use of electric locomotives, but tire grades are so steep that two will be required to pull an average train at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. More than 1,000,000,000 passengers were carried on the surface, elevated and subway roads of Greater New York last year. The exact number of paid fares was 1.171.151.C98, an increase of 93.493.451.

THE COOKBOOK.
Sausages should be served with apple
sauce or baked tomatoes. Either makes them more easily digested.
To bake potatoes quickly boil them In salted water for ten minutes, then
put In he oven. The boiling water
will bent them through so they cook In
a short time.
One of those escalloped dishes which
are such a boon to the housekeeper
with left overs on ber bands is made In layprs of cooked hominy, tomato sauce end parmesan cheese. Repeat till the dish Is full, then cover with buttered cracker crumbs and bake until brown. A French housewife does not add flour to her gravy which she prepares from the savory drippings of roact meat. The jellylike particles that float In the beef drippings should not be strained off with the rest of the sediment, as they are both appetizing and nutritious. ) The Victors' Croirna. The Greeks gave a crown of laurel to the victor iu the Pythian games, bul the victor la tho Olympian games had a crown of wild olives, the victor In the Nemean games a crown of greea parsley and the victor In the Isthmian games a crown of dry parsley or green pine leaves. , ,
The Rovlette Wheel. Strango as It may seem, the roulette wheel, that alluring machine by which so many fortunes have been won and lost (mostly lost), was devised by a monk. Pascal, during a six mouths' "retreat" for meditation and prayer. He probably little realised the gigantic popularity' as a gambling device bis simple Invention would in later years attain. In Monte Carlo, the greatest gambling resort In the world, more than $5,000,000 are lost by players evcry year. The Casino at Monte Carlo Is controlled by a firm which styles Itself "the Sea Bathing and Strangers' Club company." Though no one was ever known to dip a toe In the surf at Monte Carlo during the winter season, the profits of this company In the winter season of 1004-05 amounted to $7,204.000. Booklovers Magazine.
He La n s hoi Lt. ' A certain lady who wished to have some fun at the expense of an agent who had ofttlmes solicited her to insure herself and family, asked him on one occasion if he would insure the cat The agent, to the astonishment and no small amusement of some friends, promptly offered to do so, provided she paid the first premium down. The lady, still thinking to hoax him, expressed her willingness to do so, and placed a shilling on the table. The agent quickly produced a proposal, filled It in and obtained her signature while those present were on the tiptoe of expectancy a9 to wliat was to follow.
