For genuine patriotism one must go to the country, or, better still, to the frontier or mountain towns. Awa; from the maddening rush for wealtn i the people live closer to nature and j also get opportunities to form social acquaintances which develop into the closest friendships. Holidays to this class are something out of the ordinary. Having thus delivered himself the newspaper man pondered a while and then resumed somewhat as follows: Away hack in 1883 I wa3 stranded in a little mountain hamlet It in Colorado called Georgetown. was Decoration day. My cash had run out, the two weeklies had a full complemenv of help and I was up they she I Plnkhn I Refuse against I for I willbe it Going along the main street, I ran across a local correspondent for one of the weeklies, whom I had met in Denver. He gave me the glad hand and asked if I had struck any auriferous ore. Having told him of the depleted condition of the treasury, he stated that a committee appointed by the G. A. R. post had met with hard luck in lassooing a speaker for the program at the cemetery. Then an idea struck him. Say, pard, why cant you give us a lift? Theres a five dollar gold piece In it!' Did I take It? Well, I delivered the best speech ever made In the Rockies. But you should have seen that procession. Miners wearing their red or blue shirts, with great leather belts to hold their trousers in place, sans coat and vest, but shod in high-toboots and on their heads were slouch hats or sombreros adorned with rattlers. Here and there was a real veteran, whose empty sleeve cr limp demonstrated that he had helped defend the stars and stripes. Altogether there were fewer than 300 men In line. But patriotism, pure and unadulterated, beat in every breast. I was accorded a position of honor at the head of the line alongside my friend, who was past commander of the post and measured about 5 feet 4. The commander was 6 oot 2, anu we made up a great bunch. The line of march took in the main street of the town.jwd then over two miles of rocky road to the cemetery. Once there I delivered my little talk and then the veterans tenderly placed flags and flowers on the graves of their beloved dead. Many a teardrop fell upon the blossoms as the old boys passed them around and recalled their gallant comrades , of years agone. There was no work in Georgetown that day, for it was a holiday devoted to the memory of the brave men who fought to preserve the nations honor.
