BEFORE SANTIAGO.
July, 1881

tJuly, 1881
Who cries that the days Of daring are those
that are faded far,
That never light burns planet-bright to
be hailed as the hero's star?
Let the deeds of the dead be laureled, the
brave of the elder years.
But a song, we say, for the men of to-day
who have proved themselves their
peers
High in the vault Of the tropic sky is the
garish eye of the sun,
And down with it's crown of guns a-frown
looks the hilltop to be won;
There is the trench where the Spaniard
turks, his hold and his hiding place.
And he who would cross the space between
must meet death face to face.
The black mouths belch and thunder. and
the shrapnel shrills and flies;
Where are the fain and fearless, the lads
with the dauntless eyes?
Will the moment find them wanting? Nay,
but with valor stirred!
Like the leashed hound on the coursing
ground they wait but the warning
word.
"Charge!" and the line moves forward.
moves with a shout and a swing,
While sharper far than the cactus-thorn
is the spiteful bullets sting.
Now they are out in the open, and now
lHey are DTedStlHS the Slope,
While into the eyes of death they gaze as
into the eyes of hope.
Never they wait nor waver, but on they
Chamber and on,
With up with the flag of the stripes and
stars, and down with the flag of the
dom"
What should they bear through the shot
rent air but rout to the ranks OF Spain.
For the blood that throbs in their hearts is
the blood of the boys of Anthony
Wayne!
See, they have taken the trenches! Where
are the foemen? Gone!
And now ''Old Glory" waves in the breeze
from the heights of San Juan
And so, while the dead are laureled, the
brave of the elder years,
A song, we say, for the men of to-day, who
have proved themselves their peers!

INSTRUMENT TO DIspEL FOG.
An Invention That Is Practical Only
When a Vessel Is Going
Slowly.

The latest invention IS fog dis
peller, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The apparatus consists of horizontal
outlook pipe eight feet in length and
eight inches in diameter. At the
mouth of the tube is wide fiange. The
rear end is covered with thick disk
of glass. About two feet from the
rear end pipe enters the tube from
below at an obtuse angle with the for
ward section.
This connection is made through a
sort of turntable, which permits the
outlook tube to be pointed in any di-
rection desired, up or down, from one
side to the other. The pipe below con-
meets with blower down in the vessel.
When the dispeller is in use the
blower SENDS powerful stream of air
up through the pipe into the tube, and
the current hurtles into the fog, bor-
ing hole through it, as it were.
The action of the suspended moisture
is twofold. The fog rolled back in
every direction, the high pressure Of
the blast produces cooling influence,
the moisture in suspension condenses
and falls in rain. A great cone of clear
atmosphere, with it's apex at the mouth
CT the tube, results.
The eye of the pilot is at the glass
at the rear of the tube, and he gazes
into the bowels of the fog. With its
aid a pilot can readily pick up his
buoys in fog and keep an eye out for
vessels ahead.
With powerful blower the inventor
hopes to make the fog dispeller useful
at 1000 feet.
No claim is made that the dispeller
would be practicable except when the
vessel is going at slow rate of speed,
which is customary when there is fog
gy weather.

asked Mr.. Golden Wedding, cheerfully.

front, or did that wonderful baby keep
you up all night?"
ooh, if that baby howled from dark
till day wouldn't get up to touch it.
retorted June Bridegroom, in an in
jured tone. "No, the baby isn't bother
ing me and I've ceased to want to go
to the front. The fact of the matter is,
Mr.. Golden Wedding, I'm expecting
some interesting charges and attacks
and skirnishes at home this summer,
to say nothing of little bushwhacking
and guerrilla warfare
"Tut, tut; tell me what's the matter"
said the old man.
"Folks-in-law," was the answer, de-
livered with feeling. They're coming,

brother, who is college junior, and
her 12-year-old brother, who is-well, 1

of my married friends used to advise

EYES," answered the old man, with
sigh of unaffected regret, "Im sorry
to say they are dead. The happiest
memory of the past is the visits that
we used to have from my folks-in-law,
and Mrs. Golden Wedding says she loves
nothing better than to think over the
happy hours spent with her people-in-
law. 1 know you think me crazy, be-
cause nine men and nine women out
of every ten run down their folks-in-
law. They begin to do this because
they think it is the proper thing to
do, 1t becomes second nature with them,
and finally man and wife end by really
disliking each others relatives. That's
a most unjust thing to do, and it makes
life far less comfortable and smooth for
a couple. June Bridegroom, take the
advice of an old man and experienced
one in all points of lnatrimony; learn
to be fond of your folks-in-law, and
teach your wife to be fond of hers.
You ask how? This way. DO not treat
them as fo1ks-in-law. You know my
wife and L were married SO years ago
last December. The term in-law' has
never once been used in our family in
reference to our own relatives.

to be particularly strong in the upper

that the genial Captain will not get a

may miss some elsewhere in the coun-

alton, and are doing all they can to
stem the tide, but with what result the
future must disclose 1t is certain that
some secret and inside work has been
done against the present Congressman
right under his nose, so to speak, yet
his partisans make light of the rebel
lion in public and say that a renomi-
nation will come about in due season

they are trying to straighten out the
