RANDOM THOUGHTS.
Did you ever attend a reunion of
old soldiers? At Houston last "week
the old veterans of the "lost cause"
were assembled and many of them
met for the first time since they
stood side by side in the conflict of
battle. There were several thou
sand of these old battle-scarred
soldiers together and it was a re-
union in the full sense of the word.
The picture is made much stronger
because each one feels when meet
ing an old comrade in arms that
the meeting is the last one on this
earth. They know there cannot
be many more such gatherings
and that each year their ranks will
become thinner until with them
the practical memory of the cause
they loved well will have passed
away.
-
It is impossible to imagine un-
less yyou are one of these old men
just what feelings of emotion stir
the heart when two old comrades
who have shared the victories and
defeats of war its perils and its
hardships have slept side by side
wrapped perhaps in the same
blanket have eaten at the same
mess haye stood shoulder to shoul-
der where dangers were thickest
have gone back to their homes
have lost sight of each other for
years and thought of one another
as dead and at one of these re-
unions where there are thousands
of strange faces they suddenly and
unexpectedly meet. If I leave my
home for a week and in a strange
place come suddenly face to face
with a person I have only casually
known at home there is almost a
feeling of kinship and how inten-
sified must this feeling be- when
these soldiers' re-unions take pla"ce!
There are some things at these
reunions that surprise those who
study human nature and who do
-not kuow the character of the men
who formed the Southern army.
It has long been a custom of old
friends when meeting after years
of separation to drink together
and one might therefore expect to
see many intoxicated men at such
gatherings. It is to be said to the
credit of these old veterans that it
was a subject of general comment
that there was less drinking at their
gathering than ever before known
in so large an assemblage of peo-
ple. The police reports showed
that there was no increase in
drunkenness during the stay of
this great assemblage of perhaps
40000 people. Surely the people
are coming to their senses on the
drink question when a drunk man
can not be found in such large
throngs of people.

Another noticeable thing is the
uncomplaining spirit of these men
accustomed to war. Despite the
fact that it rained almost incesant-
ly while-they were in Houston and
the mud was deep about their tents
and they suffered many inconven-
iences but little complaint was
heard. They took what come and
said nothing. Many of the young-
er people talked about the poor
things to eat about the discomforts
of cots without pillows about the
unusual dampness and the mud
about the crush on the streets on
the trains and street-cars; but these
older men who have seen harder
times said very little. There is a
lesson to be learned from them if
the younger people will only learn
it. What a pity anyway; that wo
will not profit in everything by
the good example and the life-long
experience of those who have
known much more of life than we
can possibly know for many years?
