Past cypress and hemlock and yew,
At rest from turmoil and commotion,
Are sleeping the campers in blue.
No dreams of the lannon's death rattle,
No visions of charge and foray,
Although where they stood in the battle
Not few are still camping to-day;
OFT an arrow of sunlight discloses
The camps of the gallant and true,
And shines on the chaplets of roses
That cover the campers in blue.
BY thousands they sleep in their glory
Meath the beautiful f1ag Of the free,
And retold and rehearsed is their story
By millions from sea unto sea;
Aye, above them the robin is calling
Her mate Ger the glittering dew.
And the treasures of nature are falling
Everywhere in the camps Of the blue.
They sleep side by side in the meadows,
They are comrades still under the pines,
: From the sunshine deep into the shadows
Stretch Glorys magnificent lines;
From Arlington's cedars of beauty
To the fair lands of orange and yew,
Resting ever from we'll performed duty.
Lie the thrice laureled campers in blue.
AT the fringe of the foc-haunted thicket,
Where the challenge is heard nevermore,
Shine the stars upon vidette and picket,
The nights of their long vigils Ger;
AAu the drums Tor them no longer ra tile
And silent Is even's tattoo.
No more sounds the onset to battle
For the rose-covered heroes in blue.
Love fashions the wreath for their bosoms
In the heart Of the southland to-day,
And the fields of the north give their bios
SONS
Alike for the blue and the gray;
1t is Ger, the flow of wars river
For all to one banner are true,
And peace will reign sweetly and ever
In the multiplied camps of the blue.
Let them sleep by the musical river,
Let them rest in the shadow of tree,
Their fame is our heritage ever
Meath the star-sprinkled flag of the free
So long as devotions sweet story
Thrills hearts that are lofty and true,
So long will our banner in glory
Wave over the camps of the blue.

little play written by w. c. Caldwell, was
given at the Creighton theater last even
ing, the proceeds to go toward n fund now
being raised in order to bring the 1898 con
vention of the National Association OF Let

well staged and the work of those who
participated was deserving of a larger au-
dience than the one which greeted them.
The character of Elsie, the letter carriers
sweetheart. was well interpreted by Miss
Rhea Lorraine. Her work shows consider
able promise for the future and is far
above the average of amateur acting. The
part of Victor Orme, taken by w. c.. Cald-
well, was a neat piece of stage work and

were given between the acts by l.. r.. Germ
