The time is at hand when duty calls
us to prepare for the solemn services
of Memorial Day^ In accordance with
our rules and regulations, the 30th of
May is set apart for its reverent observance. When a libeitv-loving people
enjoying the blessings of peace and
.prosperity, cease from their labors and
with grateful hearts pay loving tribute
to the memory of men who finished
their course with honor and crossed
the star-lit line, now rest peacefully
under the shade of trees on eternal
camping grounds. Sweet be their
sleep! Let us again cover the mounds
with spring-time's richest offerings.
Once more let the flag they loved be
raised above them. Let silvered age
standing by their tombs feel that, with
the dust of such men sleeping in our
soil, the republic will stand with its
glory undimmed and its power unbroken. Let childhood weave garlands
for them, and at thPir graves receive
inspiration that will keep them earnest in loyalty, pure in citizenship and
faithful to duty. All members of the
G.A.E. are requested to meet at their
hail, on Saturday, May 30th, at 9:30
o'clock, to form the line of march to
Cherry Grove cemetery, to decorate
the graves oE comrades. A delegation
will meet friends at Yernon cemetery
at nine o'clock to decorate there, Especially do we ask all other organizations and friends to join with us, march
with us and share with us the sympathy of those whose friends we remember by placing flowers on their
graves. Come and be one of our number.

Once upon a time a man  died and
sought  to enter heaven.   "Have you
served your time in purgatory?" said
the keeper of the gate.   "No, I have
to confess that I have not. but Ihave
been married," said he.   " Walk right
in," said the gatekeeper,  "any man
who has been married has had purgatory enough."   Then came another to
the gate, and to the question, " Have
you been through purgatory?" answered "no."   "Then depart to the lower
world."   "But," says the poor fellow,
' 'I see my friend oyer there in heaven,
who has just got in, and he has never
been through purgatory."   *'Ah, just
so, but he has been married."   "Well,
then I am all right, for I have been,
married twice." "Begone at once, we
want no fools in Paradise!" ,
In the Lake regions of Wisconsin,
Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa
and Dakota, there are hundreds of
charming localities pre-eminently fitted for summer homes.  Nearly all are
located on or near lakes which have not
been fished out.  These resorts are easily reached by railway and range in
variety from the 'full dress for dinner5
to the flannel shirt costume for every
meal.   Among the list are names familiar to many" of our readers as the perfection of Northern summer resorts,
Nearly all of the Wisconsin points of
interest are within a short distance
from Chicago or Milwakee, and none
of them are so far away from the 'busy
marts of civilization' that they cannot
be reached in a few hours of tray el, by
frequent trains, over the finest road in
the  north-west—the   Chicago,    Milwaukee & St.Paul Eailway. A description of the principal resorts, with a
list of summer hotels .and boarding
houses, and rates for board, will be sent
free on application to Harry Mercer,
