And now we see them standing
guard in the furious storm aided by
the lightning'S fitful flash to see and to
say ''all is WE'LL" or under the beauti-
full canopy OF star-lit Heaven, with
no communicate save their own sad
memories of loved ones left behind
And now we hear the roar. and the
shrek, and the hiss of the bursting
SHE'LL the whirling grape and canister
and the deadly bullet.
We see them in the stormy whirl-
wind of the reckless charge pierced
by ball and torn by shell, falling in
the field between friend and foe, lying
among the burnt and withered and
trodden leaves, bathing these with
their life blood, wild with thirst, and
crazy with pain, StubbOrnly refusing
to utter a groan, always under the
control of the same heroic stOicism
which brought them here. Men of
iron, with nerves of STEEL they will
yield their lives but not their forth
tude.
They are now in darkened prisons,
governed solely by a spirit of hatred
and thoughts OF revenge, planned for
famine, and slow, but certain death.

Go back to that dear old northern

We may face the storms of public

strife and cruel bloodshed; endless
cycles of time may come and may go,
but they, our loyal dead, are at peace,

Let them sleep, let them sleep on,
Till the stormy night be gone,
And the eternal morrow dawn;
Then the curtains will be drawn,
And they wake into that light,
Whose day shall never die in night"

ORATORICAL CONTEST.

Perhaps no other event of COM
mencement week creates more in
terest than does the oratorical con.
test, and this year was no exception
to the rule for Assembly hall at the
Normal was crowded Monday eve
ming to listen to the volumes of ora
tory which poured fourth from these
modern Websters.

excellent trainer in this branch of her
profession, as all except Mr.. Palmer,

who was trained by Prof. Ford, receiv-
ed their instruction from her.

Mr.. Phillip Mccormick, of Norwood,

justly proud of their success. Per-
hapS the grafton of Mr.. Earl Palmer,

WHY the Dog Turna Round.

Have You ever thought why it is that
a dog turns around and around when
he jumps up on his cushion or starts to
settle himself anywhere for a nap?
Now you are reminded you can recall
that you have seen dog do it many
times, can't you? This habit is about
ell that is left to our tame little dog
gies of the days long ago, when they
were a race of wild animals and lived
in the woods. Their beds there were
matted grass and leaves, and it was to
trarnple enough grass and properly ar
range the leaves that the dog always
trod around a narrow circle before he
would lie down. The dog of to-day
keeps up the same old habit, although
there is no longer any need for il, and
of course. the animal has no notion

Travellers club, according to the New
York World. ''Whcn the young man
