NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Ilen Post G. A. R. Holds Camp Fire. 
- Wednesday evening the members 
of the W. R. C. and the 8. of V. met 
in the G. A. R. hall at the invitation 
f Allen Post No. 67 of the G. A. R. 
The capacity of the hall was taxed 
to its limit. An interesting program 
had been arranged. The veterans, 
headed by Miss Isabel Lee, as drum- 
mer, marched into the hall and took 
seats near the rostrum. After a few 
words of welcome by Commander 
Crombie. Miss Brenda Cook sang 
“The Flag and Uncle Sam.’’ Miss 
Cook has a sweet voice and her sing- 
“ing is always an enjoyable feature 
of any program. She was encored. 
Her second song was ‘‘Can’t You 
Take It Back and Change It For a 
Boy?’’ Patrick H. Boyle recited 
'“T™he American Flag’’ by Henry 
- Ward Beecher, as seeming especial- 
_ ly appropriate after the recent insult 
to the flag at Lawrence. Mrs. Sed- 
q die Follett, the president of the W. 
 R. CG. followed Mr. Boyle with the 
j well known lines of the ‘‘Battle of 
- Beal and Dume.”’ Mrs. Alice Lee, 
who sang ‘‘The Boys of ’61,’’ was 
enthusiastically applauded but de- 
- elined an encore. Mrs. Nellie M. 
Smith gave a reading on “‘Bill Nye 
15 
] 
on the Bronze Godess,’’ which was 
very wel lreceived especially by the 
members of the Post, who, perhaps 
more than any others present, recog- 
nized the truth under the humor. 
There was a stir of expectancy as 
Francis M. Stanwood, a well known 
‘summer resident of Manchester, rose 
to deliver ‘‘Edinburgh After Flod- 
den’’ and Mr. Stanwood’s effort was 
well worth hearing. In a masterful 
way he described the _ terrible 
slaughter of Flodden, when the 
Scotch troops, under King James IV. 
were repulsed by the English under 
the leadership of Lord Surrey. The 
terrible experiences of Randolph 
Murray, who alone brought back to 
Edinburgh the flag stained with the 
life blood of the Scotish king, were 
brought to one’s mind more vividly 
than ever as Mr. Stanwood rendered 
the lines. ! 
Alfred 8S. Jewett was next on the 
program. He spoke on his own rem- 
iniscences of Scotish chivalry and 
bravery as revalled by the stirring 
lines which Mr. Stanwood had re- 
sited. Mr. Jewett went on to speak 
of the homage all Americans should 
and do pay to the G. A. R. as protec- 
tors of the flag. The men, who in 
the days of the Rebellion, gave up

Comrades, gentlemen and ladies, who 
meet with us tonight. You have 
been, in all ways, very kind and help- 
ful to me. You honored me by the 
invitation to address you on Mem- 
orial Day; the Post presented to me 
on July 15th, a noble portrait or 
General Grant, a picture coming mm 
the way that it did, to be valued by 
me and by mine as beyond money 
and beyond price. As a family,, we 
have passed through a natural but 
sad affliction, and our personal situ- 
ation called forth the warmest sym- 
pathy of your generous hearts; you 
have invited me to your festive and 
patriotic assemblings, and have said 
such words to and of me, that I blush 
with modesty and tremble with 
pleasure when I recall how far be- 
vond my deserts your encomiums 
reach. We leave you with regret; 
we anticipate with hope the reunions 
of another year, and we promise that 
we will wear you all in our very 
heart of hearts during the approach- 
Let us all strive to 
live doing as far as possible :— 
‘Deeds of daring rectitude, in 
scorn of miserable aims that end 
with self.’’ 
And to try in our several ways to 
increase the numbers of that ‘‘Choir 
ing separation. 
Invisible, whose music is the glad- 
nes sof theworld.’’
