THE PRACTICAL SIDE.
FRIENDS or THE c. c.: Do you ever realize that 1t

Society to send me your names and addresses? The
scheme Is approved OF by many; so far so gooci
but we must have roll OF members before we can
organize have had reports from two committees
Of - Now let US hustle and have q healthy,
growing society before the leaves fade this Autumn
/ heartily approve Of and indorse w. G. Bassetts
charity fund scheme. 1t IS good one. But II will
be more practical If we become organized, as each
society can have a charity fund them and thus save
the trouble and expense of individuals sending.
Now for treasurer. l think Annie i. Williams
would be good one to elect. Let all who approve
O
money quarterly until we organize.-Guy Ben

Written for Little Grace Cordury. Baltimore, Nd
By Capt Jack Crawford
I am only veterans daughter,
The child of a soldier who fought
For the flag OF our glorious Union,
The flag that your valor has bought.
No Queen on her throne could feel prouder
Than / mid my sorrows and joys,
For ! a veteran s daughter,
And father one of the boys.
am only veterans daughter,
Bot comrades OF him love best;
No title 10 me Is more honored
That fame ever bore on her crest:
I am kin to the Goddess of Union.
love all your buster and noise,
For / am veterans daughter,
And father was one of the boys.
lam only veterans daughter,
They call me the veterans pet
And one OF these days, when I'm older,
I'll capture some son of vet
And won't we be proud of our fathers,
And share all their sorrows and joys,
For am veterans daughter,
And lie will be one OF the boys.
