Business rests wliilo wo listen to the chimes of memory's bells , and call the roll of sleeping patriots. Back through the gathering mists of years , wo see the heroism and self-Baeriieo ( of men who loft forest and farm , store and workshop , to guard the liberties of a nation. They stood side by side in the long march , in ravines runnin > with blood stood guard together in the wild storm , or under the quiet stars , in thicket or morass , down hill-sides and through rivers they plunged , lighted only by the pillars of lire from the guns of foes holding aloft the stars and stripes until they lloated over a united public the stars undimmed the stripes untarnished. There are those who went to war in soldiers' clothes and never came homo again. PorehtUH-o 'ncutli foreign skies , In ponce they sloop Unmarked by stone or llownr. tliolr lowly bed , Or , happy , sentry marbles keep Their silent wntoh where loving tnara tire shed. Some of them fell in the darkest hours of the re public others in the early dawn of peace , when the morning stars were singing together for joy. But vic tory or defeat makes no diil'orenco to them now. They have all conquered in the final triumph.Ve owe it to these patriots , living or dead , that the young men of America can devote their unbroken manhood to pursuits of industry. We owe it to them that wo enjoy the economy and quietude of the present and anticipated peace. Let this Memorial Day stand as the visible symbol of our national unity , and may the retrospect each year give new impetus to our coun try's hope and strength. t At $2.95 and § 3.7.5 , a full line of strictly all AVOO ! suits , neatly made and trimmed throughout , on sale AVednesday at \ $2.9f > and 3.75 , regular 85 and § 7.50 values.
