MEMORIAL DAY AT CENTERVILLE Although the program was some- what interfered with by the rain the exercises were carried out with credit and profit. The enthusiasm of both the veterans and the audience proves that patriot- ism in the American heart is genuine and vital. Instead of the usual march to the cemetery by veterans and school chil- dren and decorating the graves with flowers, the exercises in the morning were held in Howard hall. The chil- dren carrying flags and flowers marched around the hall to the strains of music by the Regal Band of Whit- man. Gen. A. D. Ayling was Master of Exercises, Edward Childs, Officer of u.e Day, and Daniel B. Snow, Chaplain. Luncheon was served to the veter- ans and friends in the church vestry, and at 1.30 the afternoon exercises be- gan in the church under the direction of Commander T. H. Soule. A goodly number was present considering the almost continuous rain. The program consisted of brief remarks by the Com- i mander, prayer by Rev. E. F. Blanch- ard , reading of Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg by John B Cornish, ad- dresses by Rev. Frank M. Phalen of Fairhaven and Rev. C. H. Cook of Osterville, reading by Miss Lillian ' Whitman of West Barnstable, music by the band and singing by the school children. Rev. Frank M. Phalen took for his theme—The Mystic Chord of Memory. After showing how the memory of the lives and deeds of heroes of other nations gave the people loyalty of pur- pose and promoted national strength, he applied the principle to our own history. He said in part: "The sacri- fice, the bravery and the triumph of tne soldiers of the north over the nation 's foe can never be forgotten. The liv ing are bound through the power of memory and sympathy to the past—and through this fact the natio n is strong in patriotism." The speaker also showed that those taking part in the Civil war were chivalrous and noble in spirit, and not cruel towards their enemies. He told of a confederate soldier making a dash from the trench to the river with many canteens tied to him. It was a most hazardous venture, for by so doing he exposed himself to the fire of the enemy . But the man and his comrades were famishing for water, and he made the venture. The Union soldiers fired at the man as he ran from the trench to the river—but without hitting him . Soon they saw the man making a return run to the trench with his canteens, of course filled with water. This time the Union soldiers did not fire but cheered the man for his bravery. He reached his comrades unharmed . O I- - 1 . I 1_ . 1 » 1 • • ¦ i oucu cniviuiuua a"u nooie spiraea men fought for a great principle and not for the purpose of retaliating up- on thei r enemy, and such are the men honore d and loved by a grateful peo- ple. "A nation with such men i3 strong and enduring." Rev. C. H. Cook spoke upon the gratitude the nation owed the men who defended and saved the union. He said that a nation "worth fighting for and defending is worth saving," and that our duty today is to save to future generations the liberties we possess. "Never" he said, "can the nation discharge the debt it owes the brave soldiers of half a century ago." "Memorial Day should be sacred— a holy day next to the Sabbath. It should not be allowed to become a holiday. The day is disti nctly a vetera n's day—dedicated for the teaching of patriotism ." Botli speakers were much enjoyed and were listened to with rapt at- tention . So was Mis3 Lillian Whit- man , who gave in a most pleasing manner "Music on the Rappahannock." The school children of both grades did themselves and their teachers credit in their singing. On account of the breaking down of the auto mobiles, the members of the band did not arrive on schedule time. Several managed to catch the train and arrived about eleven o'clock, while the rest did not reach Center- ville until after the afternoon exer- cises had begun . In order to give the poople what they had missed earlier in the day, the whole band very kindly gave several selections after the close of the program, and the concert was much enjoyed. MEMORIAL DAY AT HYANNIS Early on Memorial day morning the graves of veterans In the cemeteries were decorated by details from Yanno G. A. R. Post. At 10 o'clock the Post and W. R. C. assembled at their headquarters with about twenty -five Red Men prepared to act as escort for the day. On account of the severe rain the parade and exercises at the cemetery had to be given up and the Post re- mained at headquarters with their music, Kenney's Orchestra, until noon, when dinner was served by the W. R. C. to about 75 members and invited guests. At 1.30 line was formed for Masonic Hall where .the afternoon exercises were held, the use of the hall being kindly donated by Manager Cushing of th e Idlehour. At the hall Commander W. D. Ring acted as master of ceremonies and an excellent program was given, consist- ing of readings, singing and speaking. Rev. w. E. Streeter, pastor of the Congregational church of*West Barn- stable, and the son of a veteran, gave an interesting and patriotic address, which was listened to with close atten- tion . The flag drill which was given by ten boys of the training school at their memorial exercises the day previous was repeated here and was enjoyed by all , as was the singing of The Vacant Chair by Mrs. Harry Farrell. Every part was well taken and the veterans pronounced everything o. k., but the weather, and hope for better luck next year. At 3.15 all joined in singing America and wended their way home.

He is a symbol of divinity. None will molest him; everybody will hold him in reverence. But in the case of the bull the rever- ence is limited to the one who, so to speak, is born in purpl e. « As for the cow, tha entire species It sacred , and to kill It is a cardinal sin.

Among the floral offerings were blooms from plants set by his parents and which he loved and cared for. He was a man of irreproachable char- acter, indomitable courage, and un- swerving fidelity . The community has sustained a loss in his passing.

Exportation of English hothouse grapes from Liverpool to the United States, in which there "was formerly a fair trade, has been greatly reduced by Belgian competition. The chief hothouse grape producing reglonB of England are Sussex and Kent. Thence the fruit Is sent to the wholesale dealers at Covent Garden market, In London, and thence to the Liverpool dealers. The season ex- tends from April to December, during which time prices range from 16 to 36 oentB a pound. Fresh grapes first appeared as a separate item of declared export from Brussels, Belgium, to the United 8tates in 1908, at which time the ship- ments of fresh grapes totaled $18,632. (n the following year these shipments rose to $48,761, and in 1910 to $55,757. The exports in 1911 were Valued at M8.427. Masterpiece Gone to Waste. The very seedy looking young man made his way with dlmoulty down the corridor on the ninth floor of one of New York's best hotels, says the Pop- ular Magazine, and knocked loudly at his friend's door. Anguish was writ- ten on his face and wrinkles on his clotheB. He was a walking sign of what it meant to spend a hard night. "What's tho matter?" called out tho sleepy friend . "Hatter? It'B a tragedy, a death, the end of all things — ruination and grief 1" "Well, what it is?" lazily Inquired the drowsy man, without opening the door. Whereupon the seedy-looking young man, leaning against the door and lift- ing hlB voice to a howl, replied: "I called up my wife on the long-dis- tance telephone last sight and told her why I bad not returned. I gave her a perfectly good excuse. And now I can't rememb er what It wasI" Cruelty to Animals. Brian Q. Hughes , whose practical Jokes so often delight New York , said at a recent dinner at the Plaza: "I don't mind practi cal jokes od human beings, but when it comes to animals I dra w the line. "Two artists were once bragging to each other. T paint ed up a lump of pig Iron to look like cork ,' said the first artis t, 'and , by Jove, when I threw It in the East river it floated. ' "No,M said Mr. Hughes, "there was no harm In that. But ltsten to the second art ist. He said, with a cruel, unfeeling laugh ; 'I painted a lump of pig iron once to look like a roast of beef, and my dog ate thre e- quart ers of it before he discovered his mistake.'" Snails ¦ Plague In Ceylon. The region about Bernwala, in Cey- lon, was not long ago afflicted with a veritable plague of snails. Though these animals are extraordinaril y pro< line, they do not often appear in sum- gently large cumbers to make them- icelres obnoxious.
