Taps io 90 Veterans A Day,
Union veterans are dying at
the rate of ninety a day, C. D.
R. Stowits, national quarter-
master general of the G. A. R.,
declared last night at the Hotel
Muehlebach. In 1914 there were
33,269 death in the ranks, and in
1915 the death numbered 33,251.
“Our ranks are thinning fast,”
General Stowits said. “At pres-
ent there are approximately 150,-
000 Union veterans in the G. A.
R. There are many veterans,
however, counted in the total of
deaths who, because of having
their homes in small towns, do
not have an opportunity to be-
come members of a G. A. R.
post.
“The average age of the vet-
erans now living is 73. Many
are older. But whether oivnot
they are able, they insist upon
coming to encampments, Those
who are the least able are the
ones most eager to come and
take part.
“The younger veterans are
those who enlisted as drummer
boys and grew up in the ranks.
1 enlisted as a regular soldier in
New York State when 16 years
old, in 1861.”
The following is a list carried
by General Stowits showing the
ages of the men enlisted in the
Union army during the war:
10 years old.......... 25
11 years old.......... 38
12 years old.......... 225
13 years old.......... 300

“HAVE IT”

csr before the latter was stopped,

Sentimental, But True.
Little arms encircling the neck
will make light the heart over
which no diamonds sparkle. Ail
the grand pictures and splendid
works of art one can possess will
never adorn a room as do the
smiling faces of those dearest to
us. The things that may be
bought are pleasant to have, nor
is wealth to be despised; but nev-
er pity the poor man who has the
wealth that gold cannot buy, nor
the woman whose jewels are
those of which Cornelia was so
proud—good and obedient sodb.
