SPEECHES..

OF course You have read of haunted
house
That stood on some lonely hill.
And the fearful things that had there
been seen.
Made your blood almost curdle and
chill:
But perhaps you didn't believe the tale.
SO LII picture you one that you will.
There are thousands of houses haunted.
With spectres cruel and gaunt
Continually clamoring at the doors.
With their burdens of terrible want:
bringing hunger and cold and suffering.
That no artists brush can paint
You can hear the mournful wailing
OF some cold and starving child:
And the cdreWOrn mother SObbing
See her haunted loot; and Wild.
Can such phantoms, You ask, be driven
away
BY the prayers OF the indebted?
Not while the sun remains shining.
Ana millions ia gorgeous display.
Are spen, building beautiful structures.
In which Tor the suffering they pray:
while pastors their howery sermons
lrca j.,
not fcrnan>,ud, nor God, but forply.

larger business than years ago with

of the discharged men have been in the

THE SONG OF THE TClLERs.

The Surging mass moves on.
With bleeding hands and weary feet
And haggard faces, down the street
They pass. And turning whore they
win
They hear the plaudits echoed still,
OF heroes dead and gone.
There is no place 10 rest
They toll along the dusty road
still prodled by the Osurer's COED.
And through II al they seem to know,
Their fathers in the long ago
Had called the Nation blessed.
They holl the magic key,
And in their multitude and might
Can scale the height OF truth and right
And through the heroes of the past
Their sons can enter free ~ last
The gates of Liberty.

WILL MAN THE SCOUTS
Naval Reserve Officers to Com nand the Coast Mos
 quito Fleet.

The tugs purchased by the Government are to go into commission at once, and will be manned by the Naval Reserve. Over 100 of the boys have been sworn in and to-day they will go to Mare Island to join their ships. When the officers of the reserve went up for examination they were given a strict examination, and in consequence very few of them re- ceived commissions, and those few prin- cipally because they were old and ex- perienced navigators. The boys, how ever were not out for commissions, neither were they out for pay-all they wanted was chance to serve Uncle Sam. Accordingly the following have been appointed masters mates, and will probably be assigned to the Iroquois, Vigilant and Active: w. F. Burke, J. M. Squier. w. G. Morrison, G. E. Kam- merer, J. J. Delaney and A. H. Elliott. Louis H. Turner and w. E. Gum secured commissions as lieutenants, and T. M. Shaw and A. E. Morgan were made en- signs. Under present plans Turner will command the IroquoiS, Gum the Vigi- lant and Shaw the Active
 With all the men she can get from the Naval Reserve, the Philadelphia is still short handed. In order to complete her complement she requires forty seamen, thirty ordinary seamen, three carpen- ters' mates, four chief machinists, four frst-class machinists. four oilers and three water tenders. As soon as these men have been secured the vessel will sail for Manila to join Admiral Dewey fleet
