Lend me a light, good friend.

Lend me light, good friend.
Twas thus we smoked at ease
Before the hurting shell
Swept past and left us these.
Well, well, tits past and gone,
We don't regret the loss
Those chits who pass us by
And Give their heads toss,
Ten years ago could scarce
Restrain the widest cheers,
When we marched proudly past.
Then we were volunteers.
When men and pluck were priced,
We gave each What he could,
Our lives were trifies then;
We did as brave men should.
When honor spurred our pride,
And men to arms uprose,
Amid the ranks we met
While battling with our foes.
How many fields we Won,
How many losses felt,
None know so well as those
Who passed the fiery belt
Of hurting shell and ball,
OF bristling bay'nets crossed,
As man to man we fought,
AS ground was won and lost.
Our ears were steeled against
The cries of those who fell;
Our anger gave US strength
To face the shot and shell.
Our feet were swift and firm
To stem the tide that rolled
Along our broken lines,
Till victory was told.
And when we met defeat,
We held our peace like men:
Kept back the bitter tears,
And faced the foe again.
We never gave it up,
Nor yielded to our fears
The world was looking on,
And we were volunteers.
And when the shot ploughed through
Our ranks both right and left
When men fell thick as leaves
Before the blast that swept
Our ranks asi lie, like chaff,-
Ev'n then we bore in m-nd
That time that tries mems souls
Would pay them back in kind.
Hard beds, hard fare, hard knocks,
Twas little else we had
For four long years, my friend,
And then peace made us glad.
Glad though we hoped like toads
On wooden stumps like these;
We rent in for the war,
We stnid and conquered peace.
When fever laid us low,
And parched Us with its thirst,
Though aching pains shot through,
And racking, did their worst

Though bursting heads were ours.

Though bursting heads were ours,
None saw us yield to tears
Twas ours to do or die.
For we were volunteers.
And when they took us South,
A ragged, tattered crew,
We held our heads like men,
Nor brought shame on the blue.
We bore ourselves like men,
Like men who knew 10 fear:
We showed them what it was
To be a voIunte +
When famine, hOllow-eyed,
Pursued Us in our dreams;
When woke with hunger's pain,
Our frenzied dying screams
Though Ours might be the next
To pass the spiTit-line,
We never called q halt
We left the end with Time.
And when with stealthy tread
One night we stole away,
And guided by the stars
That cast feeble ray,
Amid the southern pines
Sped on, the forest through,
No hearts beat then like ours
That wore the bonny blue.
We threaded thickets close,
Until our bleeding feet
Gave out, and then we crept
Through sharp and binding sleet,
Into negro hut,
Where horny hands bestowed
The little they had left,
To pay the debt they owed.

All day we crouched in shade,
And when the nightfall came,
We pushed on through the pines,
With J,Iao1,nrf foot onl 1a,,a.

With hearts both stout and true,
And hailed the CLUSTERING stars,
For then we wore the blue.
And as we plodded on,
The bloodhounds' hoarsest bay
Awoke the forest aisles,
While snuffing far their prey.
When their fierce eyes met ours,
Ev'n then we did not rue:
Not all the fangs they had
Could make us hate the blue.
Ills not so long ago:
Yet times have changed so much
The strongest sight oft fails
To see the soldiers crutch.
But you and I, good friend,
We know what it's to feel
Dead toes that itch tell us
The story must be real.
Those dead toes itching hint
The final grand review,
Where you and I viii march
AS never marched the blue.
Our elbows let us touch
Once more before we part,
Twill give us strength anew,
Put life into our hearts.
[ fancy that old touch
Should furnish strength anew
To every one who wore
The never-fading blue.
That old familiar touch
We felt for four long years,
Methinks would wake the dead,
Had they been volunteers.

COMMISSIONER MILLER.-The Insurance

with the Insurance Officers Convention The
Tribune and other Democratic sheets that
made such howl about the clerk who received
a small percentage Of the printing accounts,
have attempted to whitewash the Democratic
Commissioner but the committee have reported
resolutions for the removal of the officer and re-
questing the Attorney General to begin suit for
the recovery of such fees from insurance COM
panies as the State is entitled to receive. The
Committee say the following charges against
Miller have been proved:
That the Superintendent has appropriated to
his own use the fee of one-fifth of one per cent.
on the transfer of securities ti
That he has charged for his own use sums
largely in excess of his legitimate expenses in
making special examinations of companies, and
that he has likewise received large sums in
payment for his services in making examina-
tions 1921 ,t1s ll17l
That he has allowed clerks in the department
to receive Illegal and excessive fees for making
special and other examinations.
That he has appointed Commissioners to
make examinations who have received large
and excessive fees, entailing great expense
upon the companies. t&kf 80 -
That the Department has been so managed
that many of the cOmpanieS have believed il
necessary to employ, brokers and attorneys who
were known to be on intimate terms, and favor
ties with the Superintendent, to obtain exam
nations and protect the interests of their COM
panes and the payment of large sums for their
personal influence in that behalf.
That Miller received, through II. C. South
wick, Jr, q Commission of 20 per cent on
the printing of the Insurance Department.
That he has withheld from the State Treas
ury the fees belonging to the Department. ~
That $4,000 was raised By seven companies,
for improper legislative purposes, last winter.
to secure the passage of what is known as the
Miller Life Act, a bill comforting extraordinary
powers upon the Superintendent and that the
Superintendent was cognizant of the use there
