their way no less Indispensable.
We will have our difficulties and our en-
harrassments. They follow all victories and
accompany all great responsibilities. They
are inSeparable from every great movement
or reform. But American capacity has tri-
umphed over all in the past. Doubts have in
the end vanished Apparent dangers have
been averted or avoided and our own his
tory shows that progress has come so nat
urally and steadily on the heels of new and
grave responsibilities that as we look back
upon the acquisitions of territory by our
fathers we are filled with wonder that any
doubt could have existed or any appre-
hension could have been felt Of the wisdom
Of their action or their capacity to grapple
with the then untried and mighty problems.
The republic is to-day larger, stronger and
better prepared than ever before for wise
and profitable developments in new direc-
tionS and among new lines. Even If the
minds of some Of our own people are still
disturbed by perplexing and anxious doubts,
in which all of us have shared and still
share, the genius of American civilization
will, l believe, be found both original and
creative and capable of subscribing all the
great interests which shall be confded to
our keeping.
Forever in the right following the best
impulses and cling1ng to high purposes,
using property and within right limits our
power and opportunities, honorable reward
must inevitably follow. The outcome can
not be in doubt. =

few months ago we had coldly ignored the
piteous appeals Of the starving and op-
pressed inhabitants of Cuba. If we had
blinded ourselves to the conditions so near
our shores and turned deaf ear to our suf-
fering neighbours the issue of territorial ex-
pansion in the Antilles and the East Indies
would not have been raised.
But, could we have justified such course?

Thus far we have done our supreme duty,
Shall we now. when the victory won in war
is written In the treaty of peace and the civ

THE RELIEF CORPS.
News and Gossip of the Great Auxil-
iary,

Always in the front in any patriotic move
ment are the veterans of the Grand Army
OF the Republic and their faithful auxili-
ars of the Woman's Relief Corps. The
NOV 5ment to build a George Washington
Memorial Building, as a forerunner of a
University of the United States, affords no
exception to the rule, and it was particu-
larly encouraging that at the representa-
tive Boston meeting in aid of the good
cause Maj. A. S. CuShman, who eStab-
lshed the first Grand Army Post in New
England should have participated as
speaker. In an earnest address Maj. Cush-
man said
II am confident that my comrades
throughout the length and breadth of our
favored land will give every encourage
ment which their loyal hearts may devise
to carry on such patriotic work. Wherever

| Then he takes his cane and shows them
On the warped and battered floor
That betrays its years of service
In the little grocery store
How the breastworks were constructed
And the enemy intrenched,
How the stronghold was assaulted,
Their position from them wrenched.
Then the Colonel's voice grows husky
He is telling Of the eve
When the days engagement left him
With dangling empty sleeve.
! And he puffs away in silence
Ire beginning to enlarge
On the things that were accomplished
By some famous, desperate charge.
And there's one part of his story
That must ne'er omitted be:
1t is how he marched with Sherman
From Atlanta to the Sea-
And a holier, deeper reverence
For each separate star and stripe
In the grand old flag is Weakened
When the Colonel lights his pipe
Toby King may tell of sailing
All the southern waters through,
OF the bloody fights he witnessed
With the desperate pirate crew;
Tommy Banks may tell of scouting
On the plains in early days,
Tales of stratagem in learning
All the Indians willy ways;
Ike may tell of strange adventures
And the hardships all untold
OF the ones who journeyed westward
Seeking CALIFORNIA; gold;
Gray haired Nose may entertain them
With the life the trappers share,
How alone and single handed
He once killed grizzly bear;-
Though their tales be filled with interest
And attention never lags,
And though volunteers are welcome,
And the evening never drags,
Everyone drops into silence
When at last the time is ripe
For the best thing on the program
When the Colonel lights his pipe
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1898-02-24

On each stormy Winters evening.
When the tempest howlS without,
And the wind is madly whirling
Snow and icy sleet about,
In the little corner grocery
By the wood fires ruddy glow,
All the village patriarchs gather,
Spinning yarns of long ago
There is Toby King the sailor
Who has braved the Spanish main,
There is Tommy Banks, who skirmished
With tire red skins on the plain;
There is Ike. the sturdy miner,
Who went West in 40:
GIay-llaired Nose, who trapped and hunted
Meath the hemlOck and the pine
And each tells some Renaissance,
Some adventure he has known,
And hair-breadta escapes from danger
In the years that long have flown;
Yet there always is a feeling
That at last the time is ripe
For the browning entertainment
When the Colonel lights his pipe.
For the Colonel was veteran
And enlisted in the ranks
From struggling little village
On the Mississippi's banks;
And he lights his pipe and gently
Blows the smoke in curling rings
And his aged voice grows mellow
And his fertile memory brings
Tales of days when war was rampant
And the very Nation bled
When the future looked the darkest
And it seemed that hope was dead.
He describes the field of Shiloh
Stone Rivers war-swept banks,
How the hell OF Chickamauga
Burned away the gallant ranks;
Then he'll turn away moment
From the scenes of battle-strife,
And will dwell upon the misery
OF the rebel prison life.
And the stories he will tell them
Are Of such a varied type,
All the crowd is expectation
When the Colonel lights his pipe.
