The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-12-24

Enchanting Its fragrance with glitter
ing dew.
While beside him is sleeping his brother
in gray,
Waiting. silent. the call when each
sleeper shall rise
To the vision of glory that waits IN the
skies.
Hark. what is That cry of oppression
and pain?
IT'S the cry of the death-dealing min
ions OF Spain.
From the fair isle of Cuba the plead
ings arise,
And the hearts Of our people respond TO
their cries.
When beneath the deep waves sink the
Maine and her men
The North and the South stand united
again.
Remember. remember" they cry. one
and all.
From the South n the North they re-
spond to the call.
On that grand morning. the first day Ct
When our brave men entered Manila
bay,
There's Lee n there's Grant pledged
together again
Beneath the old flag to Remember the
Maine"
Sid by side meath the flag, with its
colors so true,
March Confederate Gray with the gold
and the blue.
AS its folds noat above them across the
wide seas.
They mingle their voices in old melod-
les.
The oregon, Brooklyn, the Texas, the
Maine.
They tell the story of war with old
Spain.
The Cristobal Colon. Maria Terese.
Their sad star has sat meath the faith
omless seas.
And over the sheen Of the harbor and
bay,
Sad poems are writ on the seas track
less way.
By the wrecks that look up from the
quivering waves
That whisper of glory. defeat, and of
graves.
Let us stife our sorrow and drive back
our tears
With full heart and calm lip, let us cry
out three cheers
For the brave boys who went at their
country's demand.
Face to face with the foe in a far dis
tant land.
With the stars and the stripes proudly
floating before
They marched bravely on to the
enemy's shore.
We call her Old Glory, and justly we
may.
She has changed the dark night to the
glory of day.
"Hurrah" for the grandest old flag
meath the sun
Old Glory, the flag of our own Wash
ington.

ject The Man from Mars
The Man from Mars was a series
of clippings from the Butte papers for
the year l94S. They gave extended ac-
counts or a being who arrived from
Mars in an airship. He was gigantic i'm
stature and possessed of but one eye.
The power OF this eye to extract abso-
lutte truth from whomever il looked
upon forms the thread of the story. This
optical ability turned loose in the city
makes strange changes not only among
people, but extends even to objects
Dlllboards tell some queer tales and ad-
vertisements become glaringly truthful
under its influence. The Marsian visits
the schools and churches. where his
truth compelling optic works great
havoc. The list of divorces Is
and lawyers, doctors and newspapers
are compelled to go out of business. All
the horrors of a land where people tell
the exact truth to and about each other

Of the United States is disas-
trous; he inaugurates a reign of terror.

special Thanksgiving day is appointed
by the president. The paper closed
with a bit OF original verse in dialect.
