To-day, when the flags went oy together.
heard the phantom bueles blow;
Across the land, in the summer weather,
saw the spectral legions go.
The days Of the sixties my eyes discerned,
And the boys in blue who never returned.
I saw the door where the honeysuckle
Spilled its sweetness on man and maid;
Her fingers touch on his baldric's buckle.
Thrilled by the tender words he said
To her whose love for her country burned
Like her love for him who never returned
And the cottage. sweet with breath of clover.
Rinsed with the odor OF apple bloom,
Who're a womans heart in grief ran over
In that holy of holes, the mothers room.
Alone with God and her soul that mourned
For the stalwart son who never returned.
o Christ OF Mary, she soft Ia pleading,
The old, old woe Ia the old. old way,
The while DER distant hill receding,
The deathless melodies family play.
From thee sorrowing mother learned
To weep for the one who never returned.
Remember the one, all crushed and broken,
Who saw thee go, and trembling stood
As stand here, her farewell spoken.
Bone of her bone, and blood of her blood,
Have not the kneeling nations earned
Her love with thine. who never returneda
Thus she gives him to the deadly trenches.
To the smoking yolley and swinging roar,
To sun that smites. and rain that dreEches;
Sent from the home he will see no more
To the prison fare dog had spurned.
Flesh OF her flesh, who never returned.
Flung to fever's fang in the lazaretto,
To the lonely grave. where the whipporwill
Flutes all night, In the plumed palmetto
And pale magnolia spatters distill
Their dew, as pure as the love he earned
Who laughed "Good bye" and never returned.
Toss down. thou warrior. out of thy golden
EncaInpment, set on the amaranth plain,
song of eternity, set to the olden
Rapture and rhyme of that martial strain
We have kept "0ld Glory" where We soiourned
In that home. to which thou never returned.

The hours till morn are three

Open thy door to me!

fsYOu Want The Best

A THOUGH you may have had good luck
with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you
will have better luck and following directions)
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and
taurants, and in the homes of our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests,
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints;
never makes sour soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit cake while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders.
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is indispensable.
