OUR BOYS III Blue.

BY LEO SMITH, Hospital Corps Firpt Idaho V,
rnteers, Manila, Philippine Islands.
Hushed now the sound of battle,
And hushed now the demons breati
And hushed the roar and rattle
That hnreth threats of death.
Peace spreads her mantle gently
O'er our soldiers true and brave;
But the green sod OF Manila
| Coyers many hero grave.
We came across the mountains,
From the mining camps and farms,
When America called her citizens
To answer wars alarm.
Eight thousand miles they sent us,
Across the Pacific main,
The untried troops OF freedom
'Gainst the seasoned troops of Spain
We raced the deadly climate,
The mighty walls OF stone,
The cannon on the ramparts--
We faced them all alone.
But did we stop moment?
What will history tell?
No, the Yankees never falterl
They'd face the gates of hell.
Thirteen thousand soldiers
From Uncle Sans broad farms,
Game to uphold Americas honor
BY the might of Yankee arms.
We faced their Well-laid trenches
While our cheers rose loud and long,
Unheeding tie Mauser bullets
As they sang their deadly song.
And the cry came from our center:
ooh, Mother! God I'm shotP'
Don't mind me boys, Pm done for
Just give it to 'em hot!"
This was no cry OF a coward,
But dying llero's breath
Who proudly showed his comrades
How the brave may meet their death
His comrades laid him gently down,
Each eye without tear;
Then dashed against Manila's walls
To avenge volunteer.
We stop not to aid the fallen,
Revenge was on our brain,
For we remembered the boys in Cuba,
And the crew that went down with
the Maine.
We heard the shrieks Of our dying,
But still we did not pause,
Columbia had sent us to uphold
Her just and righteous laws,
And to raise the flag Of Freedom
Ger the -trodden and oppressed,
To light the lamp OF Freedom
Far 10 the golden West.
With Freedom" for cur motto,
And "Libertv to all, ("
We LETT our homes behind US
To answer cur country's call.
IT'S no selfish motive that sends us
Loyal, and tried. and true
Across the blue Pacific
In our uniforms OF blue.
Oh, God we know cur mothers,
Our sisters and our wives,
While we're on the field of battle
Are paying for cur lives.
We hope we may return again
Not be numbered with the slain;
3ut we'il save our country's honor,
And ayenge our gallant Maine.

Mexican Dollars.

One of the most Interesting prepara-
tions for the QUILTING of the Manila
expedition has just been announced.
The government has purchased 5000
Mexican silver dollars, which General
Merritt will take along TO defray the
expenses of the expedition. This
amount Is not expected to last long,
hut more will be sent him fsom time to
time.
BY purchasing Mexican dollars a
great saving is made. IL is possible To
obtain Mexican dollars at forty-six
cents each, thus obtaining for one
American dollar two Mexican ones,
aud leaving eight cents toward the pur-
chase Of third. They are bought in
San Francisco.
In the Philippines Mexican dollar
will buy more than an American dollar,
thus the expense of General Merits
expedition, after it once lands in Ma
Mia, will be less than One-half what
they would otherwise be. The soldiers
will be paid, according to law, in
American money, but the paymaster
will give each soidier two Mexican
dollars for every American dollar
due him ON pay day.-New York

''I read an interesting story in the by
and BY column yesterday, y said lady,
''about a kitten and puppy, and it re-
minded me Of kitten story. My little
boy had as pets two mother cats, one of
which had five tiny kittens, and the
other six. A surly dog killed one Of
the cats and the kittens of the other
cat. When the kittenless eat diseov-
cred the loss OF her kittens she was in
eonsolabIe, and went wandering about
the place as il in great sorrow. She
was taken 70 the litter Of motherless
kittens and efforts we're made to induce
her 70 become a good stepmother. She
snif fled at the kittens for moment, and
then walked away, paying no further
attention to them. She was taken back
to them twice again with the same res
uit. A sudden thought struck my little
boy, and he took the motherless kittens
TO the place where the other kittens had
been when they were killed by the dog
and a watch was kept to see if the Kit
teniess mother would return to her old
haunts. She did 50, and as she spied
the kittens she evinced the most joyous
demonstrations, evidently thinking the
kittens were her own, although they
were enc more in number and not ex-
aetly of the same color. She decided,
however, they were hers, and from that
Instant gave them the same attention
that she had given her own kittens,

brary at Oxford or many years, discov-
cred the falsenes OF the Gospel manu-

Der of the Spectator. IL was his deli
cate touch that helped him, as he did
not look at a page of the manuscript.
He told the story as follows: "I never

Queer Claims in Congress.

There is no end 10 the variety of old
claims that Congress is asked to pay,
says the Washington Post. One of the
moss-grown demands for government
money has just been brought to light
again from the committee on war
claims in a report to pay Sl2,0OO to DIR.
/. Winslow Aver. The report, drawn
by Michigan member, is remarkable
in its opening lines, for the statement
that Dr. Aver Twas educated at Har-
ward University, Boston, Mass, and
duly graduated in medicine aud sur
gerry, and for many years was well
known in authorship aud journalism"
Harvard University is in Cambridge,
Mass, some four miles out of Boston.
The story Of DIR. Ayers services AS
printed in this report exceeds in thrill
ing interest an up-to-date dime novel.
II is probably true that DIR. Aver was
very active in bringing to justice sew
erai conspirators, who were members
Of an alleged reasonable organization
known as knights of the Golden Cir
cle," and were plotting "subversion Of
the Government and the establishment
of Northwestern Confederacy."
The argument of the report is that
there were three entire regiments Of
'Sons of Liberty in Chicago in July,
1854, and 600 men in the State of H.
linois belonged to the order. 1t is claim
ed that these facts were known to DIR.
Aver, but were not known to the ofli-
cials of the State. The rumor was cir
culated among DIR. Ayers friends that
he had abandoned his profession to be-
come n common detective, on account
of which he is said to have lost his
practice and incurred popular displeass-
ure. At one time several shots were
fired at him from ambush during the
night. The claim is backed up by many
atiidavits concerning the trial and con-
smnation of conspirators and con-
cerning DIR. Ayers efficiency in secu-
ring damaging evidence.

a War Story With a Lesson.

A war story with lesson is related
by the Omaha World-Herald, which
has it from gentleman of that city,
Confederate captain in the Civil
war.
Lincoln was urged from the begin
ming Of the war TO take Richmond, but
talking of taking Richmond and taking
Richmond were two different matters.
General Scott, who was not retired un-
til after several futile attempts had
been made TO take Richmond, was
summoned before the President.
''General Scott" said Mr.. Lincoln,
twill you explain why 1t is that yon
were able to take the City OF Mexico in
three months with five thousand men,
and have been unable to take Rich
mond in six months with one hlndred
thousand menu
"Yes, sir, ] will, Mr.. President,
replied General Scott. ''The men who
took me into the city of Mexico are the
same men who are keeping me out o.
Richmond now"

HobsOn's Choice.

Many years ago one Tobias Hobs Il
kept stable in Cambridge, Englant /
On days or nights when there was
great demand for horses, Tobias, to
avoid favoritisin among his patrons,
established the rule that a customer
should take the horse next to the stable
door, instead of running down the stalls
to make his own choice. In short. il
was HobsOn's choice, and not the mans
who wanted a horse. SO ii has come
to mean that you have no choice at all
when il is Hobson's choice. just how
this bears ON the Santiago episode is
not 50 clear as it might be, yet there are
lots of people who see a close connee-
tiOa.

The Legend of the water-Lily.

4
What's in name? Il aH depends.
II you call one of the beautiful clear
lakes Of the CatskilIs, 'sTupper's Lake, {"
as it is now called, there is nothing in
its name; but when the Indians lived
on its shores and fished upon its waters
there was much i'm its name, for, be-
cause of its beauty and It's many inlets,
they called it the Lake Of the Clus-
tered Stars"
II was upon the bosom Of the Lake
of the Clustered Stars that the water
lily had its birth, and this is the way
it happened: 1t was springtime, and
the Sun, chief Of the tribe, had been
away at war. Then he returned, and
there was wild feasting to celebrate his
victories All were full Of JOY, except
one lovely maiden, the sweet singer of
the tribe, called Oseetah, the Bird. She
stood far Off, sad and quiet, for in her
heart she had made a vow that, accord
ing to Indian creed, she must keep or
die, though no one knew of it save the
Great Spirit, to whom she had given
her secret thoughts.
Slowly the Bird withdrew from the
revelers, and crept to the edge Of the
Clustered Stars. There she sprunginto
her canoe, and padded swiftly away
under the curtain of the branches along
the shore. But the chief had seen her.
He guessed her purpose, and running
TO the lake, leaped into his canoe, and
went after her.
On they flew, until the Bird, seeing
that she was pursued, leaped upon the
shore and ran up 10 the edge Of high
cliff. There she called out 10 the Sun
not to come TO her, but to let her choose
her own way out to the Spirit But the
Sun did not hear or understand, for he
came bounding after her, intending to
take her back to the village, and per-
snade her to take back her vow. Then,
seeing that she could hot stop him, the
Bird raised her face to the sky, and
sprung like an arrow down into the
lake below.
The sun leaped in after her, and
swan with giant strokes in search OF
her, but she was gone, and at last he
went slowly and sadly back TO his peO-
pie, and told them what had happened.
Now the next day. at noon, a stran-
ger came into the village, holding in
his hand wonderful white flower,
sweet and pure. Every one was filed
with amazement No Indian had ever
seen such blossom before; and their
surprise was even greater when the
stranger told them that he had found
the bosom of the Clustered Stars COW
cred with such flowers, all around the
base of the great high rock. Swiftly
they ran to see for themselves, and
there stood silent, looking at the great
white lilies floating on the water
Then the wise man of the tribe waved
his hand and told them that because
Oseetah, the Bird. had been true to her
vow, the Great Spirit had given her
this form; that the white was for her
goodness, and the yellow cup for her
faith; and that, if they would watch,
they would see that she would open 10
the Sun as he came up at daybreak,
but close her eyes when he left her at
night.
So it is that the water-lily is to the
Indian the emblem Of good faith, and
that they see in it the disembOdied
spirit Of Oseetah, the Bird, of the tribe
of the Saranacs.
