The Spanish Soldiers Letter Home.

You sent us away with idle prattle
To conquer "a gang of thieves"
Whose legions would flee in the blast of battle
Like Autumns withered leaves:
Their Rough Riders fought where they could not
see.
Their legions know not how to fee,
They hurled us into eternity,
with ne'er a chance to prayl
List to the men who fought amain,
Who saw their comrades die in vain
Hearken to us
And ere you sail across the seas with dreams of
glorious victories,
Ere you leave the old, old sod,
Take your baby on your knee, kiss your wife full
tenderly,
Make your final peace with God.
You sent us to fight bloodless nation,
OF other nations the lees;
The dregs and wash of all creation,
The drift" from across the seas
We came. We met them on the field
They charged us till our columns reeled,
They crushed and we had to Yield
You warned us to die and not surrender;
You swore before the Lord
The yankee pigs" would deem it tender
To put US to the sword
You told us thati Por Diosi you lied.
They raised us up, else we had died,
They laid us tenderly side by side
With their own boys in blue.

Leavin' Home.

An life's as sweet in winter in rosiest days of

No matter how the skies looks-ef they're Jest as

As the eyes with which your sweetheart twinked
messages to you
You'll find 'em growin' misty, with haze on field
an plain,
An your eyesl sorter twinkle and the lids hide the
rain.
Fer the distance-it looks lonesome, an though
roses red and white
Air Jest sweet off yonder with the dews an with

Al the ones in old.tme gardens yit-its mighty fur
to roam
An you know more Of the roses in the little spot
called "Home."
So packin' up fer lssvin' sorter makes yeu tumble

Fer handkerchief to dry the tears that will come

An though you say it's foonshness, yt worlds so

An the best world fer fellow is the little world at

Artificial Cream.

A cooking teacher tells of a manufao-
tured cream that is worth knowing
about in emergencies, when the real
article is not to be had. 1t is made from
the whites of two eggs, beaten stiff,
with tablespoonful Of sugar and a tea
spoonful of cornstarch. Half cup of
cold milk is added by degrees and all
beaten together very stiff. A cup of
milk is heated over the fire, with a
small butter ball melted in it. This is
allowed to come just to the boiling
point, when it is removed to a cooler
part of the stove and the beaten egg
mixture added. When it has all thick
ened very slightly to about the consist
ency of thick cream, 1t is taken off and
strained and cooled. This may be used
as cream for serving with fresh or pre-
served fruits, but it is needless to add
1t will not whip.-New York Post.

So They Exchanged Shoes.

In one of the wards OF Bellevue Hos
pital lie Corporal Richie, twenty-eight
years old, of the First Cavalry, United
States regulars, who was shot three
times at the battle of San Juan, and
Private Manning, twenty-five years old,
of the Thirty-third Michigan Infantry,
wounded at the battle of Ell Caney.
Their wounds were such that each
brave fellow had to have foot ampu-
tated at the ankle. Richie lost the
right foot and Manning the left.
"Say, Manning, old boy" cried
Richie yesterday, raising himself on
his cot and looking at the stump, 'let's
see-I lost the right pedal and you the
left, eh?"
II guess that's what, corporal" said
Manning.
"What size shoe do you wear?"
"Seven."
"Good boy. Now, you give me your
left shoe and I'll give you my right,
and when we get out of this ranch We'll
each have change Of shoes"

Portuguese Funeral Customs.

1.-THE burial customs of the Spanish
as seen in Cuba are in some respects
like those of Portugal" said former
resident of Portugal. "The poor there,
like the poor in Spain, econOmize on
funeral expenses by making one coffin
serve for q number of funerals in sue
cession. In Lisbon at least the coffin
is usually very substantial piece OF
work, covered with red leather and
freely studded with brass nails. Its lid
is attached with hinges, 30 that the cof-
fin opens and shuts like large trunk.
OF course the selling price of an article
like this would be beyond the means of
any poor family, but the rent for one
day is comparatively small.
"When funeral procession reaches
the grave in the great Prazeres Gene
terry, Just outside of Lisbon, the under
takers men, instead of lowering the
coffin, open its lid, take out the corpse
and lower it into its last resting place.
The empty coffin is left there until a
Gallego takes its back to its owner af-
ter the mourners have retired. These
Gallegos, by the way, natives of Cali
cha in Spain, do all the work of pOrters
in Lisbon. II you ask native Portu-
guese servant to carry parcel or a
valise through the streets, he will an
swer you in tone of offended dignity:
You chamar UNI Gallego' Il will go
and call a Gallego), for no native Por-
tuguese would be seen carrying load
of any kind in public.
"These Gallegos have no objection
to carrying load, even when the load
is a recently vacated coffin. This ia
the kind of work they come to Lisbon
for, 80 that in their old age they may
20 across the frontier to Galicia and
live on their savings. And one little
incident that happened while was in
Lisbon showed how little impression
superstitions regarding death make on
the Gallego mind. The city of Lisbon
collected toll on goods brought within
its limits, and there were guards at the
different gates of the city to see that
nothing was struggled in. One very
rainy afternoon the guard at the Pra-
zeres gate glanced along the road that
leads to the cemetery and saw sus-
picious-looking package lying on the
ground close under the wall on one
side. There was not living being in
sight. The guard thought he had de-
tected a plot. He thought that that
package, whatever it might be, had
been left there under the wall by SNUG
glers, who were no doubt sheltered
somewhere in its neighborhood and
watching their opportunity to rush it

Gift to SchIey From His Crew.

A boats crew with diving apparatus
was sent from the Brooklyn a week
after the naval battle off Santiago to
examine the Infanta Maria Teresa, the
flagship of Admiral Cervera. Among
the terrible wreckage made by the big
guns and the exploded magazines, they
found standard compass by which
the ship had been steered and which
had tumbled down with the bridge. It
was heavy thing, but they brought it
over, and, by permission of Captain
Cook, presented it to Commodore
Schley.
1t was curious sight to see these
seamen, bubbling over with affection
for the commander, shuttle on to the
quarter deck, where Commodore
Schley was reading. One of the men
representing the entire crew, and two
men following him carrying the thing
stepped close to the commodore, and
then the spokesman, in stammering
way, said: "Sir, the crew would like to
make you present."
Schley was on his feet in an instant,
his glasses in his hand and his paper
on the deck. The spokesman hesitat-
ed.
"Well, my men," said the commo-
modore, with an encouraging smile,
and the spokesman, hitching at his
trousers, continued:
"We found this compass on the
Spanish admiral's ship, and we thought
as how we would like to give it to you
for you to remember how you whipped
them"

er, with tremor in his voice. 81 am
much obliged to you, but the great
credit of that victory belongs to you
boys-the men behind the guns.
Without you no laurels would come to
our country. Thank you"
There were three hearty cheers
from the men, and then Gunner's Mate
Donnelly, thinking that something
should be said in answer, touched his
cap and blurted out:
"We 'opes, sir, as how you'll steer a
straighter course than the other fellow
who owned it," and there was another
approving cheer as the men dispersed
With the usual twinkle of his eye,
the commodore said, as he turned
away:
"I'd rather have a thing like this
than the adulations of my entire coun'
try."-Exchange.

SELECTED POETRY,
The Phantom Liner.

The fog lay deep on Georges Bank,
Rolling deep fold on fold;
II dripped and dripped from the rigging dank,
And the day sank dark and GELD.
The watch stood close by the reeling rail
And listened into the gloom;
Was there a sound save the Stating sail
And the creak Of the swaying boom2
Out Of the dark the great waves crept
And shouldered darkly by,
iii over their tops murmur crept
That was neither Of sea or sky.
Isl the churn OF steamers screw?"
us II wind that sighs?"
SILVER ran through the listening crew.
We looked in each others eyes,
No engines throbbled. no whistle doomed,
No foam cured from her PROV,
But out Of the mist liner doomed
Ten fathom from our bow.
Ten fathom from our bow she grew,
No man might speak or stir,
As she leapt from the fog that softly drew
Like shroud from over her
We shut our teeth in grim despair,
Then, like one under a spell,
Right through her as she struck us fair
saw the lift of a swell.
There was never crash of splintered plank,
No rush of.incoming tide,
There was never tear In the mainsail dank
As her hull went through our side.
Unframed we drifted down the night
On into the fog she drave,
And through her as she passed from sight
saw the light of q wave.
Was 1t some ship long lost at sea
Whose wrath still sails the main,
Or the ghost of a wreck that is yet to be
In some wild hurricaneP
Was 1t a warning to fishing boats
OF what the fog may hold,
As over their decks it drips and floats
And swathes In Its singing fold?
cannot tell, l only know
Our crew of eighteen men
Saw the gray form come, and saw It go
Into the fog again.
