Another way TO create the impression

different grades Of rank OF the many
that pass. Ignorant, ~unsophis-
people who have never been out OF
their W voting precinct are completely
mystihed by the military, and think every
man they see is a general. This delusion
is due to the title-giving generosity of the
white-winged angel of peace. And then,
too. there are many innocent citizens who
under the impression that a cor
poral ranks higher than a major, and that
a captain Is subordinate TO a sergeant.
These are mostly the people who are
now mapping out the compaign against
the Spaniards. In fact, there are many
ways you can make yourself useful as
we'll as ornamental at Old Point, and
hen. Il is sweet-ohi so sweet'-to real
re that your wife In Richmond doesn't
know a blessed thing you are doing, and
she is consumed with curiosity about
your movements. A trip to Fortress
on Sunday beats staying at homo

Hymn Before Action.

(Rudyard Kipling, in The Seven Seas
The earth is full Of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath,
The nations in their harness
co up against our path.
Ere yet we loose the lesions-
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord, God of Battles, aid!
High lust and forward bearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow
Deaf ear and soul uncaring,
We seek thy mercy now;
The sinner that forswore Thee,
The fool that passed Thee by,
Our times are known before Thee
Lord, grant us strength TO ole!
For those who kneel beside us,
At affairs not thine own,
Who lack the lights that guide us,
Lord, let their faith atone.
If wrong we did TO call them;
BY honor bound they came;
Let not Thy wrath befall them,
But deal to US the blame.
From panic, pride, n terror,
Revenge hat knows no reign
Light haste and lawless error,
Protect us yet again.
Cloak Thou our undeserving,
Make firm the shuddering breath,
In silence and answering
To taste Thy lesser death!
Fen now their vanguard gathers,
Fen now we face the fray
As rho didst help our fathers,
Help Thou our host to-day!
Fulfilled of signs and wonders,
In life. in death made clear
Jehovah of the Thunders.
Lord, God Of Battles, hear!

The Rent Collector and the Difficulties He
Enoounters There.


Encounters Tl9are.
Stun property apparently has its
drawbacks, Though it is generally re.
garded as tho most profitable, for most
OF the owners do nos as q rule allow
sRoh tgilcs as repairs to reduce the
amount Of the rents.
"This work is breaking up my nerv.
GUS system, elid man who has been
collecting rents for years in some Of the
worst slums. 81 am really beginning
70 feel that shall meet my death at IL.
"Much i'll feeling OF which l am tho
victim is engendered between landlord
and tenant over tho question Of repairs.
1t does not pay to be always repairing
such broken down property, though Of
course repairs are always being asked
for, and some people have q decidedly
unpleasant manner Of trying to impress
on me tho Necessity for such.
They are continually alluring me
into all sorts Of undesirable traps.
nearly broke my neck once by walking
up dark staircase in which a few
boards were broken and loose, and the
woman who had asked me to walk up
calmly told me to get my master to
have it mended IF there is dark, rick
ETY. staircase without a banister, l am
sure to be asked to walk up it, and ON
one occasion l was nearly frightened out
OF my wits by my head coming III con.
tact with some hanging paper and plas.
ter which had fallen from passage cell.
ing and was suspended by very mea.
ger support.
In addition to all this the tenants,
when they hear / am about, put pals of
water and broom handles in the dark
passages may traverse, besides making
other preparations for bestowing similar
delicate attentions on me.
"Only recently woman asked me tc
come and look at the awful state Of re-
pair of enc Of her rooms. She took me
to large cupboard and opened it and
the corpse of a man tumbled into the
room. 1t was cHly her poor, dear nus
band, she said, whom she had slowed
there for convenience till tho coffin ar
rived. OF course size had put him there
only to give me a pleasant little sur.
prise, and she was so successful that o
doctor advised nc to lay up for week.
Sometimes q brick CT two will be
aimed at my head without my being
able to discover whence it came, and ]
have just had an interview with man
who showed me a broken window
through which he had showed his wife's
head backward and forward by way of
chastisement, and he expressed what
exquisite delight he would take in doing
the same to me if the window was not
soon mended.
"All this is quite apart from the
trouble 1 have in obtaining money. -
