Marching through fiery land,
On the Moslem track;
Marching through he desert sand
With our Union Jack,
highlands honor in each hand,
Soldiers white and black
We went swinging through the de-
sert, such troop was never seen,
All avengers OF the hero who drew
tears from E glands queen.
Men OF Warwick.hlre aud Lincoln,
with the Irish Fusileers,
And the Camerons' gay tartan, flick
ing British Grenadiers;
Oh Northumberland and Lsnca-
shire, swearing in their zeal,
Lancers cleaning on their chargers,
with their thews of British steel.
Tramping through the burning
haze
Far as eve could scan,
With our Maxims all ablaze,
Eager, to mani
Holding, with comrades gaze,
Egypt aud Soudan;
Thus We faced the dervish ways
Down by Omdurman.
God! But were they men or devils2
Fiercer sword-m-n never drew,
As they swooped, a white. robed
legion, shouting Allah where
they flew;
Countless banners waved above them
shining brass aud copper drum
Set the white mans heart a.besting
with new and savage thrum,
When those cursing, fiery demons,
met US in the serried shock
Met and fell, still shouting Allah
with black eyes that seemed to
mock.
Failing, with a murder thought,
Ia each cunning brain;
Shamming death, until we brought
Succour TO their pain;
Then the dying rose and wrought
DEVILS deeds again,
Sol Our British vengeance sought
Victims mid the slain.
Satan's hordes were loose upon us;
but Gods angels lowered round,
Faith and loves white pinions quiz

ground,
Charging through the dervish
squadrons, Hurting death, one
man to four!
Then, with thinner ranks, and serried,
facing round to charge once

Gathering our fallen heroes. hewed
and hacked, from out the fray,
With Gods glory on their foreheads
calm as on their drilling day.
Through our pulses pride and
shame
Coursed like wine OF war;
Black and white lips spoke the
name
OF our great Sirdar,
Swore the Moslem rage to same
Moslem force to bar
Swore to quench the crescent flame
In our Northern Star
With set teeth we fought and
slaughtered, dervishes like snow
flakes fell,
While our black recruits God bless
them-ru.hed the foe with
savage yell;
They we're bent upon their VEN
geauce-we were dreaming on
our own,
On the death for which no courage,
no devotion could atone.
But we slew bastard Moslem for
each hair OF Gordon's head
Slew a Moslem for each tear drop

Tramping on the Moslem track,
To the Moslem doom,
Crashing, 10 our wild attack,
On to dark Khartoum,

She Knew the Town.

Judge Nathan Golf of West Virginia has sister famous all through the state for her remarkable brilliancy of mind and broad culture. Miss Golf possesses that rare quality of being able to appre- ciate joke at her own expense
 The family home of the Goffs is in Clarksburg, struggling city in the mountains of West Virginia not espe- eially noted for anything except it's muddy streets in winter.
 Miss Golf is frequent visitor to New York. and on one occasion she attended reception at the house of prominent bishop, given in honor of a clergyman who had recently accepted a charge in New York. It fell to Miss Goff's lot to entertain another equally prominent bishop whose diocese is one of the New England states and who grew enthusi- astic in talking about the guest of hon. or. He dilated at length on his learning and oratory and closed his eulogium by saying:
 And you know, Miss Golf, the most remarkable thing about our friend is that be comes from a miserable little mudhole in West Virginia. Let me see. It is called"-and the bishop hesitated, trying to recall the place-''it is some place with 'burg,'" the bishop finally added.
