Who Will Decorate the Last Soldier's Grave? By W A Whitakor Comrades, once more we are gathered in the City < f t;:e Dead, And a* among those mounds of brave and noble men we tread, Help us to realize the time is not very far away. When our bodies will be left here to moulder in the clay. The tune will come with some of us, when we least expect. Hut when we close our eyes in death, ‘twill be too late to reflect; Whose time is this today? tomorrow may not be ours. There may be other graves to be bestrewn with llowers. Our ranks are thinning too, and daily growing less, Kre long the graves will all be filled by men who've found their rest; Who then will decorate those sward covered graves of ours? With the most precious of May's fairest, sweetest llowers. Sons and daughters this nobl’e work will fall on you, Oh, how long will you this noble work pursue? Dear ones, me thinks I hear you very kindly say, Ha pa’s grave with weeds and thistles will never be hid away. Dear sons and daughters w hen this work you may no more do, Then this loving toil our grand children will pursue; And our great grandchildren will be left to tell the story. How their great grandfathers fought to save “Old dory.” C tmrades, we will decorate the graves of the boys w ho wore the blue, And while able to shout for Old dory this work we ever will do; So long as we may live to do it, this sacred task is ours, !tilt when we’re gone then some one else will deck these graves with llowers. Dear comrades, perhaps it will not be very long Until we're called upon to sing our last sad earthly song, And when at last we’ve gone, and our bodies rind repos May our own graves be covered with liilies and the rose. Of the many trembling forms who now beautify the clay. What numbers may not live to see next Decoration Dav . Let us then renew our faitli in Him whose time is ours. In sweet assurance that our graves will never lack for Mowers. There are other graves I fain would deck today, But Cod has willed it otherwise, they rest so far away: They are the grates of loved ones who have passed on before, And only wait to welcome me to that beautiful, golden shore. You will pardon me, my sisters of the Woman’s Relief t’orp. Dor not having called attention to your noble work before; In splendid deeds, and loving words, you hold a place today, That time will never wither, and age will not decay. Comrades, Cod had some great work for each of us to do, And so were saved from falling by the side of soldiers true; Wnere the shell and tninnie ball came Hying thick and fast. T'.v.is by His gracious providence victory was won at last. Perhaps some brave one at our side was stricken by a shell, And wo alone were left the fate of that dear friend to tell: How a comrade fought for this grand old Mag of ours, Is why we are here today strewing their graves with Mowers. When we were on the weary march, or on the battle field. Cod's care was ever with us, ||i> arm our constant shield: We knew we fought for freedom in this great land of ours, No wonder that the graves are green, and redolent with Mowers. Comrades, it won’t be very long until we have a call. To go up yonder to answer to the last, sad, roll call; 1 hen it we at e His 11 lie < i i i 1 d re n, ( h r i s t i a n so 1 d ie r>, ne v er fear * •When the roll is called uv yonder, ” we'll boldly answer, “Here.’’ The hand of Him who kept us when we stood before the gray. Is still in tender mercy outstretched to us today: Though now our steps are leeble and we count the weary hours, We soon shall be at rest m the home of love and flowers. Don’t be discouraged, Comrades, don’t be discouraged, 1 pray. Taking the year together, my comrades, there isn't more night than day; Then don't be discouraged, comrades, whiling away your lonely hours. For when we are gone our graves will be strewn by earth’s fair est sweetest (lowers. RUST1C0 28633 IVieheruu Stallion, Papule t1 rev, foaled August. Is' o.

NEB MARKET LETTER Pram Our Regular Kansas City Stock Yard Correspondent Kansas City Su c k Yards,May ; ;u. Strength was the dominat. j ing feature of the cattle market last week, although there was a I reverse on Wednesday. caused by a heavy run that day. The close of the week was 10 to 20 higher than close of previous week, with top of $7 on both heavy steer-, and yearlings,paid Tuesday. The supply today is libera] at ll.oOO head, market steady to 1" lower. Light steers are selling nearest steady and the decline is on the heavier steers, although a shipment from feed lots of Fowler A Todd of Maple Hill. Ks., 14“4 lbs sold at $liso today, same price from dame feed lots brought Friday. Smaller proportion of receipts of heavy steers each week, and the gradual expansion ot con sumptive demand has proven almost sufficient to offset the adverse influence of high recall prices. On the other hand, Am erican exporters of live animals have not been able to make a profit on shipments for some weeks, and export trade is therefore curtailed The older beads, in summing up the situ ation, regard the outlook as favorable tor stronger prices for fed cattle during the sum mer. Top steers today sold at SO.90, bulk of steers $5.90 to $6.75, best heifers $6.75, cows $.'5.50 to $5.75, calves $4.00 to $7.25, bulls $15.50 to $5.25, Stock ers $15.75 to $5 30, feeders $3.00 to $5.65. Although hogs closed last week 10 to 15 cents below the best time, average prices for the week were highest of the year, and top price, $7.50, was also highest for this year, and the best price paid here in the last six years. Run is 11,000 head today, market tive higher on heavy hogs, 5 to 10 higher on medium and light weights, top $7.35, bulk $6.$5 to $7.30, in cluding all weights. May re ceipts of hogs show a shortage of 7)0,000 head from same month last year, or 14 per cent, and predictions of a heavy dune movement are not made with as much fervor or confidence as a a few weeks ago. Sheep and lambs advanced 50 to 75 cents last week, and goats sold 25 to 50 cents higher. IJdn is small todav, 4,000 head, mar ket 10 to 15 higher; spring lambs at $9.00 today, clipped feil wethers $6.65, clipped Ari zona wethers S6.5n, ewes $0.20, killing goats $3.do to $4.45, brushers $3.25 to $3.63, The extraordinary prices do not seem to intimidate a sufficient number ot consumers to cut down meat sales greatly, and and the shortage in supplies lor May, 29,000 head, or 17 percent from last year, is a strengthen ing feature. d.
