They leave their lioiueH to save the Hug: The parting from their frlemlN wus sum'. And many part to meet iu more, They gu and meet a mighty foe, They march and tight iliroiutli rain and snow) Many are In the battle slain.

And ne'er will see their home anulu. And thus they tight aud march almiR. Till four long years are done and gone: Then peace again they Uo restore, The Hag Is safe as heretofore. These soldiers tbuu returning home. The battle's fongl the victory won: Are met and welcomed by their friends.

Who drop a tear for all the slain. And now to keep fresh In their minds. The soldiers that were left behind: A day Is set apait to strew. Bright Howers o'er those who wore the blue. Today we've met with (lowers In hand.

And round their graves we take our slsiiiil. Tread softly round the soldiers' graves. For In thorn lie our father's brave. Think kindly of the fallen here. And to their memory drop a tear: For life to I hem was sweet Indued.

Hut laid them down to save the Hug. Let llowers be strewn with gentle hand. O'er those who died to save our land; They rest In peace so let tlieni bo. Till God shall sound the reveille. And comrades should you find today.

The graves of those who wore the gray. They are our enemies no more, So place upon their graves a (lower. And should a tear steal down your c-beek. It will not as a coward speak; For all who do shed tears at all. The brave will shed tbe most of all.

But we dole love grudgingly less and less. Let our streets, where they are good, go to pieces and go off on some side street and punch around In the sand.

The people have, or are paying for, the macadam streets and it looks like they were a little more of importance than a sandy street perhaps that isn't traveled by a dozen vehicles a week.

Tornndo Lay Waste St. Louis. One of the greatest disasters of recent years overwhelmed the city of St. Louis Wednesday night In the shape of a tornado which b'euan shortly after 5 o'clock and for thirty minutes tore Its awful way through the city with a velocity of over eighty miles an hour.

In addition to those who were killed Id their houses and In the street, hundreds were sunk beneath the waters of the Mississippi river. Of all the Btearaers on the levee when the storm broke but one was afloat when the storm 'had passed. All the others had gone down, in many Instances every soul being lost, and in others not over two or three being able to reach a place of safety. Among the boats destroyed is the excursion steamer, Great Republic, one of the largest steamers on the lower river.

Not a man escaped from her, and it is said that she was crowded with excursionists alien the storm came. The center of the city is a wreck.

To add to the horrors of the night the electric light plants were rendered incapable of service and the gas lamps were also shut off, leaving the city in total darkness.

Fire also broke out in several portions of the city, and the Are department was unable to make ati effective fight because of the choked up condition of the streets and the large number of firemen who were engaged in the work of rescuing the dead and wounded.
