Civil War.
It is a war that Is painted grim, ter
rible, exhaustive, the kind or conflict
that old soldiers talk about, and In
subdued tones when only they them
selves are present. In a way the book
Is fashioned after Stephen Crane's "Red
Radge of Courage." which, by tha way
Is nailed by recognized critics as being
tha greatest story of a battle told la

Is the best of life the gold that our youth U t-id to hold?
Is the preface to be chosen, or the story that is told?
It is better, so it seems, to have wakened from the dreams.
To have seen the glamour passing, while it left the truer gleams;
To have learned that alwayi peace gives our petty cares release.
Hushes all the idle clamor, bids the fretting troubles cease.
Better, thus, with folded hands, musing on the falling sands.
Than to strive and strain and struggle for at last on understands
That the moving pen of fame writes each hour a newer name
And the scroll of all the victors goes to feed the fickle flame.
It is best to calmly gaze down the pathway of the days
Strewn with withered wreaths of laurel, lined with myrtles and with

Snows of three score year, and ten may make white the heads of
men;
But the sunshine of the Summers sparkles in their smiles again.
And the glory of their years ah, how splendid it appears
When they tell us of the gladne5s that has lurked behind their tears
Of how Time, the silent thief, took the sorrow, that were chief
Leaving love and light and laughter in their lifetime . gamer'ed

eVhile a murmur soft and low brings the songs you love and kno
Is the best of life the gold that our youth is said to hold?
All the sweet and subtle measures of the songs of long ago!
