three years old. He sHdered severely Tor

different doctors for him, but they could
not cure him. They took out one piece OF
bone about 81 inches long, the shape Of
shoe, and one smaller piece The hole IN
his hip was about 81 inches deep, and the
sore kept running all the time The doc
tors ordered US to keep the hole filed with
cotton, saturated with some kind OF meol-
cine. This we did, and used probe to IN
sert the cotton. We could introduce the
probe about g inches; and found by NOV

cavity next to the bone, and we could feel
the bone with the probe The child was
very pale, thin and weak and could not
sleep, and we had no hope Of his recovery.
The treatment we gave him under the doc

How easy 1t is to slip into abuses OF

looted is demonstrated by the recent pri-
mary election in Alameda county. In that
election the soldiers at Camp Barrett were
used in omnibus loads and in uniform to
defeat Hilborn for congress. Hilborn Is a
Republican congressman who voted against
the funding bill. The military does not
belong in politics any more than an inst'-

army can be and will be garrisoned and
used in doubtful states to the demoraliza-
lion of the army and the ruin Of the re-

When the Seventh comes marching home
The bells will ring and the whistles sing,
When the Seventh comes marching home
Our men will show and our boys shall
know
How the Southland loves her own.
In every fight for the truth and right
They shall never stand alone.
When they marched away, so brave and
gay,
In the flush of early spring,
They could never know the depth Of woe
That the coming days would bring.
The summer air of the Southland fair
Gave life at every breath;
But the fog and damp of the fetid camp
Was the "harvest home" of Death.
One by one in the morning sun
There sailed from the Golden Gate
The troops Of war from near and far,
While our noble boys must wait.
They waited long. and the hope was
strong,
That their sailing time would come,
But they saw instead their comrades dead
And they longed again for home.
1t Is harder to bear than to do and dare,
And no one under the sun
But the truly strong can endure such
wrong;
They are heroes. every one!
There'll be ringing cheers and binding
tears,
When the Seventh comes marching home.
Our hearts are glad, but many are sad,
AS the Seventh comes marching home.
