''Niggers are too good for the Spanish,

LYRICS OF THE MEXICAN WAR.
The Mexican war produced some fine
lyrics, written for the most part after
the close OF the conflict. The Hero OF

ial of Sir John Moore" 1t begins:
''Nobly he stood in the midst OF the fight
With the flag of the West waving DER
him:
And its star-spangled folds were the
pride of his sight,
With the foes of his country before him"
Albert Pixies Battle of Buencoa" is
a noble ballad. 1t closes as follows:
"And thus on Buena Vista's heights
long days work was done:
And thus our brave old general another
battle won,
Still. stin our glorious banner waves.

And the Mexicans among the hills still

WAR SONGS OF OUR FATHERS.
Ringing Ballads That Will Live as Long as the Republic

While we are waiting for the great
war song of 1898 to appear, a look back
wards at the war songs our fathers
sang is interesting and inspiring.
AS everybody knows, Hail Column
bia" braveIy served as a national an
lhem until il was displaced by the
star Spangled Banner 1t is not so
generally known, however, that 1898 is
the centenary of the words to the music
OF the earlier anthem which were in
splred by tn ethreatened war with
france in 1898. They were written by
Judge Joseph Hopkinson Of PhiIadel-
pms, one of the signers of the Declara-
lion of Independence. In that same
year Robert Treat Paine wrote the ia
nous song OF Adams and Liberty"
which was welded to the music of the
present Star Spangled Banner"
Paine's lyric contained the two immor-
tai lines:
And ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be
slaves
While the earth bears a plant, or the sea
rolls its waves"

words of America" or My Country,

I opened into the valley, and the city de-
stroyed; and when the day is clear,
the spires and domes of the ancient
city can be seen far below the surface
of the lake. This little tale is often
suggested from the heights around the
home. On misty days the capital city
can be seen but family. The domes and
spires are but delicate tracings in the
filmy distance. The capitol looms up
but family in the background, and even
the golden dome of the library shines
with subdued lustre through the mist.
In the present exigency. as in the
! past, the home promises to be famed
in the annals OF war. 1t is destined TO
be the scene of the great federal camp
ing station at Washington for the mob
ilization and drilling of the volunteers.
During the civil war the home be-
came summer resort and place of
refuge for the president. When the
confederate forces reached Alexandria
on the march to Washington, President
Lincoln vacated the dangerous post at
the White House and FASTENED to the
presidential cottage in the Soldiers
Home park. Here. surrounded by the
forces at the home and defended by
cannon, he was for the time secure

wide avenue. three miles long, was
forced from the White House in di-
rect line to the home. Subsequent pres
idents, to the time of Arthur. occupied
the cottage as a summer home. but il
is now the custom for the president to
occupy home nearer the social center
OF the city during the heated season.
After the adjournment of congress the
executive leaves the city for a summer
rest by the seaside or on the noun
tains.
The Soldiers Home is one of the most
extensive charities in the country. and
it is supported entirely by the regular
army of the United States. Old soldiers

eligible for admittance and care. Here
they live in comparative happiness
among their fellows, and end their days

Every soldier has an interest in the
home and gives part of his pay for its
maintenance. The sum of 1919 cents is
taken from the pay each month of ev-
cry man in the regular service. This. |

DEADLY NAVAJA.
A Weapon Which Finds Favor
Among Murderous Spaniards.

A-O-S 4Aui0 SIOuS SBau13rQS.
Buffalo News: It is said that every
Spaniard carries a knife, unless he be-
longs TO the upper classes or the aris-
tocracy. Even then instinct frequently
leads them to it's use. With the peas
ants and common people a blade is an
Indispensable article of dress The
ugifeSt of Spanish knives is the navajo
of Seville. At the first intimation of
trouble the Spaniard pulls his knife
If it is a navajo and provided with
big ratchet and spring. he jerks the
blade open, the ratchet swapping like
a rattlesnake's warning. This adds
dramatic effect and appeals to that love
of braggadocio and display inherent in
the Spanish people.
The navajo is used with the blade
up. This gives the blow a terrible rip
ping and thrusting force. 1t is hard to
parry, and the point once in. little
avails the victim. The wound is nearly
fatal, for it leaves a trail like a battle
AK, save that it is up instead of down.
The long knives, such as this form of
navajo presents, offer a tremendous
advantage. and in the street brawls
and private quarrels so often INDUCED

STAR sPANGLED BANNER"

But of all the war songs our fathers
sang, The Star Spangled Banner" has
probably taken the deepest and strong
est hold on the national affection. The
older the nation grows the more popu-
lar this song becomes, so that today II
is undoubtedly in more favor than
either Yankee Doodle or Amer
lea" Many competent experts on ma
tional music and hymns have declared
that THE Star SDangled Banner is,
par excellence, the American national
song Il is all American. There is not
a line in it which is borrowed from any
other nation. 1t is as purely Ameri-
can as the "Marseillaise' is French, OF
as Rule Britannia" is English. Like
the "Alarseillaise. it was born in the
inspiration OF a battle hour. 1t was
pitched TO the keynote of a screaming
shell, written in the very heart of

respect no fleet has ever touched it.
1t is useless for the United States

Then it lay some more at the old
anchorage.
At last it steamed away in earnest.
In a day or two it was seen in the
British channel and along the coast of
Brazil. Scores of astute editors
jumped up and down and asked what
Captain Sampson meant by permitting
the hated Dons to find a safe and
welcome anchorage in Porto Rico's
open harbor. All the way across the
broad Atlantic the feet was discovered
at intervals and through more or less
fog.
Finally the doughty Sampson rang
the bell to steam up, and little later
it was a nip-and-tuck race for Porto
Rico between his fleet and the oncom-
ing Spaniards.

of use the ever handy knife is. Nearly
every Spaniard carries in his belt a
bit of flint. When he wants a light,
out comes the flint. the knife is pro-

punk catches the spark as it flies, nur-
