A VOICE BEYOND THE WALL.

Being Some Notes From a Music Loving
Bachelors Diary.
1 P. M. Tuesday.-Ah, there it is again.
soft, sweet, melodious, directly under
my window. I nave heard it every day for
a week, but the sweet singer is unseen.
No doubt she is some fair daughter of the
south, with liquid eyes, ruby lips and the
figure of Hebe. In vain l have strained
my sight. and my manly form, too, as l
have leaned far out of the window in a
futile endeavor to see over the n%eighboring
wall, from beyond which the voice comes.
My charmer remains unseen. and IL
throw myself baok in the easy chair, light
a cigarette and listen. What pathos!
Again, what spirit! l could love the own
er Of such a voice. Smoke and fancies cir
Gle round me. The mansion the high wall
environs Is princoly in appearance. Every
sign of wealth and comfort distinguishes
it. No doubt the singer is beautiful-tho
child of wealthy parents; mayhap their
only one. Her songs are evidently expo
nents of her character, simple everyday dit
ties. / always admire simplicity in wom~
ankind. I light another cigarette and de-
eide that a wife who could sing like the
unseen songstress would be a treasure to
possess, just as "Suwannee River floats
up to my window-a dream of melody.
/ mediate on the rich surroundings, the
prospects. picture the stern parent Civ.
ing his consent to my union with his ia
vored child. My thoughts overpower me,
/ snatch up my hat hurriedly and rush to
the elevator. Now or never! 1 must-I
will see the singer!
5 p. M.-There was q gate In the high
wall which 1 approached as if l were near
ing a shrine. At last, I thought, l will
see her. AS I paused to still the beating
of my heart my unseen deity began to
sing "Baby." I stood s%pellbound. Would
the time ever come when I could call her
that sweet singer-Baby, as her thrill
ing notes requested? Then slowly, like a
sinner about to have a glimpse into para
disc, l opened the gate. The song stopped
abruptly, the singer turned and looked at
me. She was black as the ace of spades
and fat as a Greenland seal.
6P. Milf there is a fool thing a man
can do, it is building castles In the air. If
there is another fool thing a maj can do,
it is to think of getting married. Hang it'll
l wish that ugly fat darky would stop
that racket. She's got a voice like a steam
whistle. And those stale old songs, too,
they make me tired, as if any one ever
would want to ''play in her yard''-her
yard, indeed-as if it needed a high wall
to hide that squaller from tho public eye!

Our Volunteers.


There has been some anxiety as to
how the rural militiamen, with their
scant opportunities for drill, would
meet the test of actual warfare in the
Philippines. That anxiety seems to
have been superfuous. Aptitude for a
soldiers life seems to be an American
instinct, persistent and universal. The
Colorado miners and cowboys have be-
haved as CALAMITY before Manila as the
Pennsylvania veterans of long militia
service, and the Utah light artillery
men, whose captain is a grandson Of
Brigham Young, stood to their guns in
the fierce night assault in a way which
won the admiration Of regular officers.

SCHOOLBOY HUMOR.
THE YOUNG IDEA WRITES OF THE
ANIMAL KINGDOM.

Impressions of n Juvenile on a Visit to
the Geological Gardens Essays Upon
the Outdoor Quadruped, h Lion, and
the Indoor Quadruped, the Cat.
Schoolboy humor seems ~inexhaustible
and there are some rather novel speci-
mems of the English article in a book
entitled 1.-THE Comic Side of School
Life" 1t includes several school com
positions, of which we subjoin two:
VISIT TO THE GEOLOGICAL GARDENS.
Of all the animals in this world the
geological gardens is the most. You go
in by a gate and when you have got a
bit way down there they are all round
you. Ameriky can't be nothin to it.
The lion, which is the king Of all the
animals wot ever lived, was so little
that l shouldn't have noen it was him,
only l have seen picters and my mother
said, Look, Tom, now you can say as
you've seen a lion" Why, he isn't
quarter as big as a eliphent, and he
hasn't got no trunk. L. think the eli
phent could master him if he liked, but
the big silly won't try, COZ he's SO kind
and doesn't want to be king.
The lion is yeller, but not so yeller
as in the picter book what the board
gev me. He looks at yer through the
bars like as wot he was sayin: "You
think as you can fight, don't yer, little
boy, just COZ you no l can't get out all
COZ of this bloomin kage. If I could on
ly skueez through, I'd swallow you and
yer mother too" I said to my mother,
II should like to hear the lion a-roarin,"
when she said, "Why, that was a-roar-
in just now when the keeper looked in
at him." Then l nearly cried I was SO
wild. Why. it wasn't like thunder and
lightnin at all. 1t just opened its mouth
wide, like as yer seed men sittin at their
doors and a-gapin Oh Sunday afternoons,
and it yoped no louder than apple cart
man does.
THE CAT.
The house cat is four legged quadru-
ped, the legs, as usual, bein at the cor
ners. 1t is sometimes what is called a
tame animal, though it feeds on mice
and birds of prey. y When it is
happy, it does not bark, but breathes
through it's nose instead Of its mouth,
but I can't remember the name they
call the noise. 1t is a little word, but l
can't think of it, and it is wrong to
copy. Cats also NOW, which you have
all heard. When you stroke this tame
quadruped by DRAWN yer hand along
it's back, it cocks up it's tail like a ruler
SO as you can't get no further. Never
stroke the hairs acrost, as it makes all
cats scratch like mad. Its tail is about
two foot long, and its legs about one
each. Don't teese cats, for, firstly, it is
wrong SO to do, and, second, cats have
clauses which is longer than people
think. Cats have nine ~liveses, but
which is seldom required in this coun-
try coz Of Christianity. Men cats are al
las called Tom, and girl cats, Puss or
Tiss, but queer as you may think, all
little cats are called kittens, which is a
wrong name which oughter be changed.
This tame quadruped a see in the dark,
so rats stand no chants, much less mice.
Girls fears rats, even mice. Last Tues
day I drawed our cat on some white tea
paper, and I sold it to a boy who has q
father for 20 pins and some coff drops.
