He desired 10 express his sympathy,
That was all. He had always liked the
man, and now that he was reported to
be near death he felt sorry for both him
and the afflicted family.
"Poor fellowl" he said. They tell
he that he already has one foot In the

Trouble followed. The wife Of the

then burst into tears.

you ought to have some regard for the

"That's what comes of cultivating
ones sense of humor at the expense Of
ones better feelings" put in the friend
who had first taken him aside. "Of
course we know that you did not intend
to say anything that would seem harsh
and cruel, but
Now, look herel" exclaimed the
man who had made the original re-
mark, breaking away from them an
grily. what said was all right and
proper. What would you have me say
that am sorry to hear that he has one
foot in the grave? That would be nice,
sensible thing to say when happen to
know that he is a oremationist and has
already bought silver urn to hold his
ashes, wouldn't it? The trouble with

Our Flying Squadron.

When the Spanish vessels gather
Like the pirate fleets of yore,
When they seek to sweep the ocean
All along the Cuban shore,
When they strip themselves for action
And the eyes of nations stare,
You can bet the Flying Squadron,
And its fighters
Will
Be
There
When the woe of wars upon us,
When destroyers plough the sea,
When MORO Castle crumbles
And the Cuban flag is free
When the flash and flames of battle
Tints the balmy Southern air,
You can bet the Flying Squadron
And its fighters
Be
There
When the Spanish nation topples
And its ruins rise in smoke,
When its striving, beggar subjects
Cast away cruel yoke,
When the sun of freedom penetrates
The cloud of Cuba's care
You can bet the Flying Squadron
And its fighters
Will
Be
There.
When the noise of battle echoes
In the annals of the past,
When the flag of poor old Cuba
Is a freedmans flag at last.
When the dove of peace is monarch,
When the sword becomes share,
Even then our Flying Squadron
And its fighters
Will
Be
There.
