TODAY WE HONOR THE DEAD.
Not long' iigo was Union county turned on edge by the
fall for t roois; nothing was it that the people were breath
ing war, talking war, and dreaming-of war.
Providence willed Unit only a few men should fall in
tin; great war from' this eounlry, but the fact that wc had
juen in th)e different conflicts brings us face, to face with
the dutiy of, an American McniM'inr.day.
That duty is pronounced and plain, and it should be
executed! with desire. The strewing of flowers is in it
self an act, but the thoughts that go with the act are the
causes for observance of the M'casion.
1Vlay the nation pauses in it onward rush to put
flowers on the graves of n.'eTi who fought the fight for
Americanism right. Today lit- lessons. of the Civil 'War
fire revived; the recollections .of other ivnl'licts wherein
the nation's principles' and honor' were at "stake are re
called in most forceful maimer. Decoration day as a nat
ional event is and has been one f th;' leading occasions
for sombre, silent meditation. " -
In I'nion and La (!raud'e-aiid in .Viiioii county Ihe day
is being properly observed w ith a spirit of profound re
spect and admirati' n for the soldier .dead.

"GLASS Di
SMALL TOWN S"TUFF.
A Denver eitix.cn, returned from New. York, liaiigh
tihy describes the nietropulis as n "jay town", and pro
ceeds to explain:
"TliMre is a circus iwii iir t'oiirth Avenue in New
York playing a long engagement. Kvery day there is a
jiarade, with the balloon sellers Mocking along tin
walks; while thousands and thousands of people line the
streets to see the closed ileus of feivii'-'us animals, the
K-lowns on top if cages, the gii'ls on horses, the dog-drawn
wagon twith a funny man on it, and nil the other things
connected with a circus parade.
''Hown in the financial district, where their- are men
"who are supposed to hold the des'tiliies of the nation in
the palms of their hands there are hundreds of peddliers.
They are selling flowers thai go in the buttonhole and
sipiirt wntvr, mechanical micf iha-t'craw I irlong the I'lhor
and a dozen other devices that we in Denver passed u
Afclars. ago. ... j
"(!ot up town anywhere ail pul a man or woman in)

Stoji a minute and lok up, at tlie:sky ami' you'll have a j
gang around you rubberfrtg. It noticed taxis and aiilos
turning in thi.- middle of the block and stopping tral'lii
while the turn was made.. Do that in Denver and you'll
get pinched! ' ' !

facts set forth do not seem to warrant sin-h utter eon
tempt as the Denver man exhibits. In .Pact, to the aver
age American, who is himself a small-town pei's'on
the pictuiV probably suggests a community of spirit
which he has not realized before. New Yorkers stand
convicted of IJcing very human and very American. New
(York is seen as merely a lacge colled hut of small towns.
