Each cracker contains 10 per cent in &C.
tual weight of the beef meal Of TIE Vir-
ginia Beef Extract and Beef Meal Company"
OF Alexandria, Va, which is the equivalent
of about 13 ounces of fresh lean beef to every
pound of flour. The beef thus highly con.

A New Town In Montana.

Leonia, Idaho, May 25.-A good ex-
ample of the rapidity with which a
western mining town springs into
prominence is Sylvanite, fifteen miles
northeast of here, but over the line in
Montana, on the Yakt river. Stage
leaves here Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays in connection with Great
Northern trains. Sylvanite has grown
in a year from one lonely cabin to a
pretentious little town of 800 people,
with three general merchandise stores.
one drug store, hotel and saw mill.
There are saloons, of course, which it
might be more charitable not to enum-
crate, and a ten-stamp quartz mill and
concentration, which turns out a s., 500
gold brick every week. The rock is of
the gold milling variety, and there's
lots of it in sight. The largest placer
claim covers 100 acres and belongs to
a Kalispell company. The intention is
to work it by hydraulic power. A sim
gle cradle has cleaned up over $40 a
day to the man. Extensive work is
being done on the GoldAint and Key
stone mines, one mile from town, and
altogether the Sylvanite promises to
be one of the most prosperous camps
in the American Kootenai. Leonia is
III miles east of Spokane. The Syl-
vanite people are preparing to build q
telephone connection with the railway.

In Tents of Green.

In tents of green our heroes sleep,
Their slumbers undisturbed and deep;
The flag triumphant waves
Where comrades pass with solemn tread,
Sweet bloom of May again to spread
Above our honored braves.
All silent there. in calm repose,
They reck not friends, they fear not foes
Their grounded arms are mute:
No drums rebuilding beat they hear;
No stern command. no victor's cheer,
Or sentry's quick salute.
In faded blue or faded gray,
The truce of God is theirs to-day,
So let them calmly rest;
Who won the field with sure renown,
"A starry flag, a floral crown,
Above each hero's breast.

backs against me, much as did those
soldiers of 20 years agone. She was a
fair-faced blonde, graceful as fawn,
dimples in her peachy checks, loyalty
in her true blue eyes. He was dark,
stalwart, manly. with the form of an
athlete and the eyes of born protector
of truth and innocence. Even before
they spoke l knew them, through in

when the war began was young
and handsome, not the battered veteran
of these later years. The gunners were
proud of my trig and trim appearance,
ard groomed me as carefully as if were
prince out on parade. You should have
seen me as, with other guns of my cali
Der and class, I started for the front in
response to the first call for volunteers
issued by Abraham Lincoln in 1861.
Polished until every piece of metal
about me shone, waited upon by brave
men in uniforms as striking as my own,
I attracted admiring attention from
multitudes all along the line. There
were six of us, all exactly alike, and we
spoke with one voice when called upon
to respond to the ardor of those men
starting toward the front.
! 1T was not long before we were in the
rush and war of battle. Where we were
could be found the very craters of the
war volcanoes, Redeemed with our lurid
fires, enlivened by our bulldog bark,
REDEEMED sometimes with a deeper Grim
son than that of flame. We were sons
of thunder and hurled thunderbolts,
shooters of lightnings which struck will,
deadly effect. Our threats were often
parched and our iron constitutions
racked and strained. but we obeyed
orders, and sullenly served Death
until told to desist. They were
brave men who handled us in
the very center of the carnivals of
blood and fire. and ever above us hoate1
proudly our gallant comrade, the old
flag, often tattered and torn, singed
and ragged, but it's stars shining ever as
stars of promise on their armament of
good union blue. Not less courageous
were the men in gray who fought under
what is now the conquered banner.
Even our iron souls and hearts of steel
thrilled with honest admiration of their
dauntless bravery. What a pity that
such men must be swayed in deadly con-
4 filct, one against the other. Thank God,
that is all past now. and the old flag,
we'll beloved north and south, floats in
love and protection over all Columbia's
braves. If the men in gray were mis-
taken they atoned for their fault in
