\ \ A Romance of Memorial Day. < >
Always towards Decoration Day old
Silas Morton went through the self-same
period of excitement , fervor and patriot
ism. Along about the 20th of May he
became a being revivified by stirring
memories , and no man kept better step ,
looked more dignified and important than
the old hero of Company B , who had
saved the regimental colors at Pea Ridge
forty odd years back. Silas had got a
two-line notice in the busy prints for
that five-minute plunge amid shot and
shell , but a century of love and devotion
in the hearts of comrades and their de
scendants.
Memorial Day was a picture-dreain to
him , an occasion where rarely fervent
and tender emotions mingled , lie devot
ed hours to formulating programs of cer
emonies , to brushing up his cherished ac
coutrements. On the eve of the day
memorable he strolled over to the home
of his veteran companion in arms , John
Ridgely.
Paul Ridgely , grandsou , sat on the rus
tic porch , his head between bis hands , a
victim of either deep dejection or medi
tation. He started up confusedly , stam
mered , and turned dead white.
"How's the grandfather ? ' ' inquired
Morton.
"Very much better , " answered Paul.
"The fever is gone , and the doctor says
he will be well aud about POOJI if he
keeps mind and body quiet. "
"He won't do neither if lie realizes it's
Dec-oration Day , " declared Silns.
"IT ? mustn't ronlizc it , then in fact ,
we ; r.ve lcd the calendar several days
out. "
"Strange procession without him in
the ranks ! " grumbled Morton. "I won't
see him , then , till it's over might blurt
out the truth , for I'm naturally full of
the occasion. That's why I run down. I
was thinking , Paul ; ray old blue suit is
pretty shabby. John and I are about a
size. He wouldn't object , if he knew
would you , if I wore his to-morrow ? "
"Surely not , " answered Paul quickly.
"I'll get it for you at once. "
Paul knew just where to find the suit ,
for he had put it away himself the last
time his grandfather had worn it. That
was two weeks before. The old man had
gone to a G. A. R. meeting , had return
ed with a sore throat , and the next day
was laid low with fever.
Paul sighed as he thought of that
night in question , so much had depended
on it , and out of it had come only si
lence , disappointment and suffering. Over
in a corner was Paul's trunk. packed-
He was going to leave Colesville as soon
as his relative was better and for a
great , sorrowful reason.
"Why haven't you been down to see
us ? " inquired Morton , as Paul handed
him the parcel "Beeu a pretty steady
nurse , though , I reckon , for you look
peaked. Come soon Madge has missed
you. "
"How is Madge ? " inquired Paul , chok
ingly.
"Oh ! same as usual she's going to the
grove to-morrow. "
Paul's face fell gloomier than ever , as
Morton went , and soon he had resumed
his old dejected position on the porch.
Memorial day dawned clear and
warm , but all Paul saw of it was the
passing groups ; all he heard of it was
the dim echo of drum and trunipet.
His grandfather slept peacefully , and
after noon , a neighbor coming in insist
ed on Paul taking a respite. He wan
dered about aimlessly , thinking constant
ly of Madge , and finally reached the edge
of the grove.
Paul skirted the precincts of the high
platform where speaking was in pro
gress. There he saw old Silas , aud , near
"by a team hitched to a light wagon.
Madge was in the rear seat. From a
shield of bushes , Paul watched her fer-
'vently. He fancied her face looked sad
aiid preoccupied.
The last speech was followed by a
song , this by a prayer. Then the chair
man lifted his hand , and in signal , in the
distance , yet thunderous , a cannon made
the echo ring.
A shriek , a crash , loud calls of alarm ,
and , mad with terror , Silas Morton's met
tled team tore towards the steep down
hill road.
In a flash Paul saw what had hap
pened. Madge , driven from her seat ,
had struck the floor of the vehicle , and
lay insensible. The reius dragged. As
Paul 'darted away , with a shout Morton
cleared the platform. Paul reached the
runaways , flew at their heads , clung
there , dragged and swung , as they xiear-
-MEMORIAL DAY AND SENTIMENT.
GH35
CUBA
PHILIPPINES
It is to the South , the land of flowers and fragrance and chivalry and
beautiful women , that the North owes the fine idea of decorating the graves
of soldier-dead with flowers , setting apart one day each springtime for the
ceremony.
The custom spread to the North , and was universally observed , even
before it was established as a national institution.
By a general order issued by General John A. Logan , Commander-in-
Chief of the Grand Army of'the Republic , May 5 , 1SGS , May 30 was fixed
as Memorial Day for that year in all States and Territories and the District
of Columbia , except * Alabama , Florida , Georgia , Idaho , Louisiana , Missis
sippi , North Carolina , South Carolina and Texas. These States fixed their
own dates for Memorial Day. It is observed earlier In the South than in
the North , the date for several of them being April 20. Although there has
never been any Federal legislation touching Memorial Day , many of the
States have made it a holiday , and both houses at Washington , whenever in
session , always adjourn on May 30. in respect to the dead.
It is a beautiful custom , founded entirely on sentiment. Respect for
the dead means nothing only as it influences the living. Memorial Day
knows nothing of strife , of wrong , of ill deeds , of small natures , of selfish
ness. It says : Men were brave to the extent of dying for what they be
lieved to be principle. They endured hardship , privation they suffered much
and all for the cause in which they believed.
There is no sectional line in bravery. There never has been. "We
honor courage and devotion , and ask not under what flag heroicm was
proven. We place flowers on grassy mounds , and pray that the generation
that hag grown up since the great struggle has all of the fire and courage and
virtue of those who have . We
gone. hope thatfuture generations will find so
much to admire in the deeds of those
now living , that in the years that are
to come we will be remembered , even as are those of the silent army of
the great war. St. Louis Chronicle.
cd the terrific decline where a plunge
meant death. Morton sained the rend ,
seized the trailing lines , was dragged fiat ,
btlt his Iron fists sawed at the sinewy
leather strips.
As Morton gninod { he wrtcon seat.
Tanl sprang into the box. Madge had
sustained a bruise on the forehead and
\vns stunned. Some one , , brought cold
vtpr ! io revived sllditlr. ai.d lay iu
Paul's arms , while Morton anxiously
drove homewards.
Paul carried Madge into the parlor of
the farmhouse , placed her on a couch ,
and left her to the care of her grand
mother. As he went out and sat on the
doorstep , he was shaking like a leaf.
The emotions of the past hour had been
a vivid strain. Suddenly a light step
preceded a timid touch on the shoulder.
Looking up , he thrilled to the grateful
glance of the fair girl whose life he had
saved.
He could say nothing , as she sat down
beside him , telling him brokenly what
she felt she owed to his unselfish bravery.
Then there was an interruption. In his
shirt sleeves , storming ferociously , old
Silas came up.
"See here ! " he cried , extending the
coat he had worn that day. "I'd rather
have lost the team than that happen ! "
In rushing to Madge's rescue he had
slit one sleeve , entire of * the borrowed
garment.
"Don't let that worry you , Mr. Mor
ton , " said Paul.
"It does worry me. I've spoiled my
old friend's regimentals ! "
"Why , " assured Madge gently , "I
think I can sew it up so it won't show
much. "
She took the coat , nodding encourag
ingly to Morton as he walked off , and ,
as she turned over the garment , from an
inside pocket a sealed letter fell out.
"Why ! " she exclaimed in surprise , "it
is addressed to me. "
Paul gave a gasp. Was it possible ?
His handwriting , "the" letter !
Yes , there it was ; the missive settling
his destiny , which he had asked his
grandfather to hand to Madge Ijwo weeks
previous.
And the old veteran had forgotten all
about it , and fever had intervened , and
now it had magically come to light , and
Paul had misjudged Madge , and believ
ed her indifferent.
" 1 wonder who wrote it ? " she mur
mured.
"I wrote it , " answered Paul , boldly.
Their eyes met hers sparkled , fell.
She blushed divinely understood !
"Shall shall I read it ? " she stam
mered , with downcast glance , aiid trem
bling for joy.
"No. Let me tell you what it says , "
whispered Paul , and drew her unresist
ingly to his side.
The holy stars of Memorial Night ,
loolihjg c".ov.-i ! upon those two , hallowed a
love that had found brightness and peace
ineffable.
Famous Decoration l > ay Sentiments.
When the war .was over , in the South ,
where , under warmer skies and with
more poetic temperaments , symbols and
emblems arc better understood than in
the practical North , the widows , mothers
and children of the Confederate dead
went , out and strewed their graves with
tiowers ; at many places the women scat
tered them impartially also over the un
known and unmarked resting places of
the Union soldiers. As the news of this
touching tribute flashed over the North ,
it roused , as nothing else could have
done , national amity and love , and al-
layeil scotional animosity and passion.
It thrilled every household where there
was a vacant chair by the fireside and an
Hchiiiir void in the heart for a lost hero
whose remains had never been found ; old
wounds broke out afresh , ami in a min
gled tempest of grief and joy the family
cried. "Maybe it was our darling. " Thus
out of sorrows , common alike , to the
North and the South , came this bcauti-
ful custom. But Decoration Day no
longer belongs to those who mourn. It
is the common privilege of us all , and
will be celebrated as loug as gratitude
exists and flowers bloom. Chauucey M.
Depew.
Ah , sir , there are times in the history
of men and nations when they stand so
near the'veil that separates mortals from'
immortals , time from eternity , and men
from their God. that they cau almost ,
hear the breathing and feel the pulsations -
tions of the heart of the Infinite.j
Through such a time has this nation
gone , and when two hundred and fifty
thousand brave spirits passed from the
field of honor through that thin veil to
the presence of God , and when at last its
parting folds admitted the martyred
President to the compauy of the dead
heroes of the- republic , the nation stood
so near the veil that the whispers of
God were heard by the children of men.
James A. Garfield.
This day is sacred to the great heroic
host who kept this flag above our heads ,
sacred to the living and the dead , sacred
to the scarred and maimed , sacred to the
wives who gave their husbands , to the
mothers who gave their sons. Here in
this peaceful land of ours , here where
the sun shines , where the flowers grow ,
where -children play , millions of armed
men battled for the right and breasted
on a thousand fields the iron storm of
war. These brave , these incomparable
men , founded the first republic , they ful
filled the prophecies , they brought to pass
the dreams , realized the hopes that all
the great and good and wise and just
have made , and had since map was man.
But what of those who fell ? There is
no language to express the debt we owe ,
the love we bear to all the dead who
died for us. Words are but barren
sounds. We can but stand beside their
graves , and in the hush and silence feel
vhat speech has never told. They fought ,
they died , and for the first time since
man has ? kept a record of events , the
heavens bent above and domed a land
without a serf , a servant or a slave.
Robert G. Ingersoll.

EHD OF JAG
NOTORIOUS DESPERADO SHOT
ON ROSEBUD RESERVATION.
A RUNNING FIGHT WITH OFFICERS
R'.fle Ball Brought Him Down The
Outlaw and Cattle Hustler Kad
for More Than a Quarter of a Cen
tury Been a Terror on the Knnjjo.
Chamberlain , S. D. : The circumstances
leading up to the tragic cud of the notorious
rious desperado , Jack Sully , who for
many years has been the terror of the
Rosebud country , are those : A week or
ten days ago Sully stole a bunch of near
ly 200 cattle belonging to various neigh
boring ranchers. He took a bunch of
seventy-four down across the Nebraska
line aud sold them for $20 per head , re
ceiving half cash and half paper. He
cashed the paper. Soon after , Brand Inspector
specter Long got track of the cattle , and ,
accompanied by their owners , Harry
Ham and Hugo Schilling , recovered them
and returned them to the home range.
As a result of ihe exploit United States
Commissioner Tidrick , of Chamberlain ,
on Sunday morning sent out Deputy
United States Inspector Petrie , Brand
Inspector Long , Sheriff Irish of Brulc
County , Deputy Sheriff Jesse Brown of
Lyman County , and Harry Ham to bring
iu Sully , dead or alive. They found Sully -
ly at his home , near Blackbird island ,
Tuesday morning , and attempted to make
the arrest. Sully was ordered to surren
der , but with a defiant taunt he made
a break for his horse , sprang upon its
back and made a dash for liberty. For
a time a running fire .was maintained be
tween the two parties , but the pursuers
speedily proved the victors. Sully's horse
was hit five times and killed , while Sully
received wounds from which he died
within thirty-five minutes.
Sully for the past thirty-five years has
been knowii as a lawless and desperate
character. His most recent exploit waste
to break jail at Mitchell , where -he was
being held for trial on a charge of cattle
rustling , and until Monday the officers
had- not been able to set their eyes ou
him.
him.He
He has for years been recognized as
the head of a baud of rustlers that has
been the cause of endless trouble and ex
pense to the thrifty class of people who
have of late been coming into the neigh
borhood , and his tragic end is not likely
to cause very deep mourning upon the
range.
The Sully gang has been credited with
having stolen , during the past twenty
years , a total of fully 50,000 head of cat
tle' and several thousand head of horses ,
but it is reasonable to suppose that this
estimate is somewhat exaggerated.
Nevertheless , it is safe to say that sev
eral thousand head have been stolen by
the thieves during that period. The gang
is also said to have been responsible for
the death of seven men during the long
period it was carrying on its operations
along the Missouri River. The victims
were chiefly inoffensive settlers , who , tin-
fortunately for them , were foolish enough
to protest when some of their cattle were
stolen , or who were so indiscreet as to
veal incidents connected with cattle and
.lorse stealing raids which by chaKv

Only wlieu Kinkade was ou a drunk

killing ' of his sister. "Bill" Reese , an
other < of Sully's old-time chums , was shot
and killed in his own dance house at
Miles City , Mont. , by Dr. Lefchor. .Tho
men quarreled over the affections of
"Dode" Reese , supposed to have been the
wife of "Bill" Reese , who , after the
death ( of Reese , lived with the slayer of
the j man who was supposed to have beeu
her ' husband.
"Jim" Foster , a character well known
on the frontier twenty years ago , was
uollier chum of Sully. Foster was an
ccompliahed banjo player , and many
people ' who yet reside in South Dakota
remember ] the devil-may-care fellow , wheat
at intervals would visit the frontier
towns for the purpose of having a glori
ous ! drunk , during which he was invaria
bly accompanied by liis banjo.
He had a remarkably fine voice. "I'll
Remember You , Love , in My Prayers , "
was , a favorite song of his , with which
he was wont to entertain such of the resi
dents of the frontier towns as cared to
appear upon the streets when himself and
his j drunken companions virtually rad
possession of the thoroughfares and the
buildings ] adjacent thereto.
One of Foster's characteristics when
drunk was to light his cigars with $5 or
$10 bills. He , like many of the former
chums of Sully , "died with his boots ou. "
He was a handsome man , a veritable
Adonis , and was a perfect specimen of
physical ] mauhood , yet by nature was endowed
dewed , with many of the traits of the In
dian , , being considerable of a sueak and
coward. ,
While on a hunting trip to the Black
Hills with several boon companions he
was shot and killed. The members of the
party ] declared that he was the victim of
the i accidental discharge of a gun. but
there 1 is little question that he was shot
down < by one of his companions who had
a grudge of some kind against him. and
feared that if he did not resort to assassination - i
sination Fostpr himself would assassinate - j
ate him when the opportunity offered. j
Sully was also a chum of "Lame John '
ny i , " "Big Nose George" and a man
named ! Gray , who were all noted "hold
up" ' men during the early days of settle
ment in the Black Hills. "Big Nose
George" ( was hanged by a vigilance com
mittee at Rock Springs , Wyo. ; "Lame
Johnny" suffered a like fate on a creek
now known as Lame Johnny Creek , in
the Black Hills , and Gray , who was at
one time proprietor of the old Minnesota
House at Yanktou , was hanged in Ari
zona , a vigilance committee having
brought an end to his career.
The killing of the masterful old lead
er removes a border character for whom
there probably , has not been a parallel in
the United States for some years. He was
not a bloodthirsty criminal of dime novel
variety , but an honorable man in his
Avsy. Ke was true to his friends , and not
given to bloodshed if it could be avoided.
If allowed to prosecute his vocation of
stealing without molestation , he would
molest 110 others.
The exact time when SuHy came to
South Dakota is not known , but it was
at least thirty years ago. He was a tall ,
raw-boned young man , who said nothing
about his past and gave a name which
is knowii to have been assumed.
It was not long after he came that
he built his hut on a high hill on the
Rosebud reservation. Here he was sur
rounded by a crovd of loose characters
with whom he easily carried on a big
rustling business. As the civilization of
the country drew closer about him the
mesh of the law. a more perfect defensive
organization was necessary. Sully was
equal to the demand upon him. He or
ganized a secret society which last win
ter was known to have a membership of
300 , extending all the way from Kansas
to Canada. Many of these were ranch
men and stockmen in apparently good
standing. Tire strength of the society
lay in the fact that no one knew who
were its members. A campaign against
.them could not progress far. without
someone , not known to be a member ,
sending the warning.
Sully , was a squaw man , too , and four
half-breed daughters married and lived
about him and helped him. A fine , white
frame house took the place of the hut at
his eyrie , and from this he could see the
approach of an enemy for four miles. The
federal officers must have approached his
home under cover of darkness , and even
at that it is remarkable that they escaped
the attention of the many friends of Sul
ly living about him. Numerous attempts
have been made to take him at his strong
hold , but all were ineffective.
Onlj" twice in the past four years has
Sully been captured. The first of these
was in the fall of 1901. The habit of
the rustlers was to take only a part of a
herd of cattle the first time. If no fuss
was made the owner of the herd would
not be disturbed again. But if he made
u noise about the theft , the rustlers would
revisit his place and take the rest of the
cattle.
One Pete Waugh , living north of Oa-
coma , suffered a loss at the hands of the
rustlers , and made a big "holler. " As a
consequence another visit was made aud
all his stock was taken. Waugh only
made a bigger racket. The rustlers were
fearful , aud Sully and an associate named
was to be. A row was started , but the
bullet struck Wauirh's elbow instead of
his heart and Sully and Donuerau had to
flee. . Waugh'a blood was up aud , with
the aid of officers , gave pursuit and cap
tured Sully. The wily old leader soon
lave bond and secured his liberty.
Sully's one weakness was his passion
for whisky , and this led to his last cap
ture. It wus found out in some way that
Sully was to vi.sit Niobrara , Neb. , in the
interest of a spree. SuHy was remarka
bly successful in making these under
ground trips , getting into a back room in
various towns near his eyrie and having
his drunk and getting away without any
one but his friends knowing of his pres
ence.
Tliip time he was inveigled into a game
of cards. Liquor was haiidefl out freely
to him and he became hopelessly iutoxi-
cntcd. He a\\.jce in the Niobrara jail.
He was taken to Mitchell. The night the
Mitchell sheriff died Sully es
caped , and it is said this cost him $1,500.
HL- made his get getaway on relays of
horses. It was said he emigrated to
Canada , but instead went to Kansas. He
returned to his old haunts once too often ,
and met his ecl on the very eve of the
time when UK > incoming of settlers would
have driven him u\vay for all time.
Additional di'tnils of tinkil'iintr nf Sul
ly , Vi jell li.tvtIi iii ri'c-t-.ved lic'ie , Iiow
mat he luaiio a desperate break to es
cape from the officers.
Jjhimoiid. a neighbor of Sully's , by
request of the officers , went to the Sully
house and informed Jack that his place
was surrounded by officers and requested t
him to give himself up. He refused , say
ing :
"Goodby to all. With fair play I equal
throe of them. "
Thrusting a 44-caliber Colt's revolver
into his belt and mounting a horse , he
made a dash for life. He was com
manded to halt , but did not obey. There ,
were thirty shots fired by the pursuing
officers , of which five took effect in the uti
horse. By this time Sully had measured ti
a distance of tloO yards between himself
and the officers when a volley of shots
was fired , one of which took effect in
Sully's buck , causing him to reel and fall
from his horse.
When the officers approached him he
was commanded to throw up his hands ,
and he obeyed. Recognizing Deputy
Liiited States Marshal Petric , he shook
hands with him and asked for a drink of
water , after which he expired.
Music and TVjtd Animals.
Two musicians , a drummer and a
piper , returning to their village from
a wedding party , were overtaken by a
snowstorm and sought refuge in a
deserted mill. They lit a fire with
some wood they found in the place
and were warming themselves when
they saw a wolf emerge from a dark
corner of the building. They jumped
up on a shelf , and , to their dismay ,
saw several more wolves join the first
The animals rushed in their direction ,
and the drummer , at a loss for a mode
of defence , set to beating his drum ,
whereupon his companion instinctively
played his pipe. The effect was mar
vellous. The music so terrified the
wolves that they attempted to run
away , and as the door was closed they
began fighting , and several of them *
were torn to pieces , the survivors
eventually escaping through a hole in
the wall.

HANGED REBEL LOUIS RIEL.
4Man "Who Carried Out tlie Laiv's Scn
tence on Ulalcontcnt Ja Dec d.
John Henderson , who carried out the
sentence of death upon Louis Rlcl ,
originator of the Iliel rebellion in Can
ada , Is dead at his ranch near Glasgow -
Mont. Recently an old wound in his
leg , received by Henderson years ago
while a government scout , had been
causing him much suffering and the
physician had to' amputate the limb.
Henderson never recovered from the
shock. He was born in Scotland seven-
ty-qight years ago. He came to the
United States when a mere youth. He
was one of the pioneer residents of Last
Chance gulch. Subsequently he was
employed as a scout during Indian
campaigns. Then he went to Canada ,
where he also served as a scout. He
saw service throughout the RIel rebel
lion , and in 1SS5 , while acting as gov
ernment hangman , executed Louis Riel
at Regina , N. W. T.
Henderson had a claim against the
Canadian government for $153,000 for
his services. The claim was recently
allowed. The amount will probably go
to the widow , who lives on the family
ranch near Glasgow.

and interest have been unearthed.
About two feet below the surface the
floor of a Roman room with a great
portion of the tesselated pavement in
tact was revealed. Under careful treat
ment the beautiful work in cubes of red
tile was disclosed , and the space has
now been railed off , in order that the
public may view the remains. A fine
collection of coins of the period of Hadr
rian and Constantine was also discov
ered , together with sever.il pieces of
beautifully figured pottery and orna
mental wall plaster. The coins were in a
state of remarkable preservation , the
figures and inscriptions bains in some
instances almost as clear and distinct
as those at present in use. The- dis
coveries . are regarded as important , for
the reason that they prove that the Ro
man read from London to Dover led
through ] what is now Greenwich Park.
Having a Pic-nic.
There Is something particularly en
joyable about going to a picnic. The
very word Pic-Nic brings pleasant an
ticipations of a good time. The idea
of going out to the woods and fields or
down ' by some brook or lake , with
luncheon to be served on the grass and
under the trees , has a peculiar fascina
tion. The fresh air and exercise con
tribute to give a hearty appetite to all
and everything at luncheon seems far
better than the finest course dinner
that a French chef ever served.
Wooden dishes supplant Dresden
china , and paper boxes silver trays ,
when the "good things to eat" are
spread upon the ground.
Pic-Nics are never complete without
the sandwiches , sweet white bread
with a generous layer of meat be
tween. Libby's canned meats are ideal
for pic-nics and outings. The cans are
so easily opened and the contents so
fresh and palatable that no pic-nic is a
success without Libby's "Natural
Flavor" Food Products.
