( h ÌCAGO J§T0RE ► Though I halnt much fer style, and neither was he, But them’s the three colors that Jack loved to see. And Jack was a soldier, as brave and as true, As any that fought fer the red, white and blue. Two youngish like chaps we was, Jack and I, When we went to the war and bld the folks good-bye. Though we felt mighty big, and we stepped up like men, And thar warn’t two prouder boys round about then, When the girls came to meetin', to bid us good bye, As we started fer Tennessee, Jack and I. We thought we would soon end the war, when we two Got to tightin’ fer the flag of the red, white and blue.

And Jack, he was brave, he was never afeard. As fer me, 1 was sometimes a little bit skeered. One morning, I reckon ’twas April the first, We was tightin', and Lee’s men was gettin’ the worst. It’s called the Five Forks, I remember it well, Fer it was in that battle that poor Jack fell. I knelt by his side, and he looked mein the eye; Says he, “John, it’s all over, I'm a-goin’to die, And when you get home, John, tell Mary fer me— I loved her, and dyin’, I wished her to be Your wife, and this ribbon of red, white and blue, It's Mary’s, she'll know, John, I gave it toyou.” GK.lMin V.« 8TOKY. 0 « ♦f But when we was leavin’, she—straight up to Jack With a purty nosegay, and a mighty big smack Right onto his cheek!

Its only the band that is playing, I know the old tune full well; They've played it so often and often, I'm tired to hear it, ain’t you?” “No, daughter, the tune is a dear one, and a sad one, alas it is true, For it brings to my memory, daughter, dark days of the long ago; It brings tomy memory, daughter, sad scenes of the long ago.” And grandmother stopped with her knitting, and reverently bowed her white head, As she listened to the tramp of the soldiers, to their steady and measured tread; All marching to the strains of the music, to the strains of a dear old song. My grandmother stopped with her knitting, as the veterans came marching along On the way to the graves of their comrades, the comrades that passed on before; The comrades that answer the roll-call and the call of the bugle no more. As the tramp of the soldiers grew fainter, and the music died away on the air, Dear grandma returned to her knitting in her favorite old arm chair. “Yes, daughter, there’s sadness and sorrow to me In the martial strain. And the marching of soldiers awakens only memories burdened with pain. Only memories, daughter, of sadness, of wait ing and watching and prayer; When the country was shrouded In darkness, When the natlonseemed nigh on despair. Yes, daughter, ’twas a bright May morning, when lie kissed me and baby goodbye. When we parted at the gate that morning, when he held our darling on high. No use, child, I couldn’t say nothing—it was duty to his country, you see; But my heart it was choking and breaking, when we parted, my husband and me. Yes. the band It was playing that morning when he marched with the boys to the war, And babe and me watched him and watched him, as he marched to return no more. Yes, darling, this day does awaken sad memo ries dear to my heart; Of scenes that are all but forgotten, that live from the present apart. I see them again as I knew them, as once they went marching by; And many a face I remember to mourn wltb a tear and a sigh. And promises fiir I remember, and hopes that are faded and dim, As I journey alone by th s w ayside still waiting and waiting for him.” And grandma kept on with her knitting, her face was so patient and fair, Her white head bent over her knitting as she sat in the old rocking chair. I wondered and wondered If heroes of battle are greater than these, The mothers whose deeds unrecorded fought at home the great battles of peace? And grandma kept on with her knitting; “My daughter,” she said, “It is sweet To know when life's battle Is over, there be dear ones we’re going to meet.” Mt'RtlL G rat One Dollar If paid in advance, Single numbers live cents.
