Then the bugle commands floated across the square as the horses f the yellow-tasseled cavalry, the lum bering caissons of the red artillery and the blue-coated foot soldiers, the mili tary escort, were drawn up into lines along Pennsylvania avenue. At 9 o'clock the doors to the room where the remains lay were opened, nd the family retired to the rear tpartments.

She has not used crutches for eight months and walks to school every day. I cannot say too much for . Hoods Sarsaparilla It is a splendid medicine and I would recommend it to any one." Mrs. G. A.
