And hushed now the demons breath
And hushcd the roar and rattle
That hurleth threats of death.
Peace spreads her mantle gently
Ger our soldiers true and brave;
But the green sod OF Manila
Covers many hero's grave.
We came across the mountains,
From the mining camps and farms,
When America called her citizens
TO answer wars alarm.
Eight thousand miles they sent US,
Across the Pacific main,
The untried troops OF freedom
'Gainst the seasoned troops of Spain.
We faced the deadly climate,
The mighty walls of stone,
The cannon on the ramparts-
We faced them all alone.
But did we stop moment
What will history tell
No, the Yankees never falter
They'd face the gates Of hell
Thirteen thousand soldiers
From Uncle sans broad farms,
Came to uphold Americas honor
BY the might OF Yankee arms
We faced their well-laid trenches
While our cheers rose loud and long,
Unheeding the Mauser bullets
AS they sang their deadly song.
And the cry came from our center
"Oh, Mother God I'm shot -
Don't mind me boys, I'm done for
just give 1t TO ELI hot ~
This was no cry of a coward,
But dying hero's breath
Who prondly showed his comrades
How the brave may meet their death.
His comrades laid him gently down,
Each eye without tear;
Then dashed against Manila walls
To avenge q volunteer.
We stop not to aid the fallen,
Revenge was on our brain,
For we remembered the boys in Cuba.
And the crew that went down with the Maine
We heard the shrieks Of our dying,
But still we did not pause,
Columbia had sent us 10 uphold
Her just and righteous laws.
And TO raise the flag of Freedom
Ger the down trodden aud oppressed,
To light the lamp of Freedom
Far TO the golden West.

And Liberty to all"
We left our homes behind US
To answer our conntry's call
'Tis no selfish motive that sends US
Loyal, and tried. and true
Across the blue Pacific
In our uniforms OF blue.
Oh, God ! we know our mothers,

To feel it shrink as meath a fiery brand,
Or draw away as from loathsome blight
To kiss those lips, whose wine inspires our soul,
But which, alas, our kisses only seal
(Ah, cursed are they, who, from an empty bowl,
Would seek TO quench the burning thirst they

To meet those eyes, within whose glance we

The only heaven that our being knows
To watch them gaze indifferently and blind
On all our sunerings and on all our woes

To they who love but love, alas, in vain.

IA little girl was asked to write
an essay on the wise man, and
this is What What she produced :
king SolomoTwas man who
lived ever so many years ago:
In the country he governed he
was the whole push. He was an
awful wise man, and one day two
women went to him each holding
onto the leg of a baby and each
claiming it. The king was not
feeling right. Why could not
the brat have been twins and
saved all this bother 4? Solomon
called for his sword and was GO
ing to chop the baby in two and
give each one of them a piece of
it, when the one who was the
mother of the baby said /; stop,
Solomon, stay thy hand;if l can't
have the whole baby | don't want
any. Let the old hag have it. "
Then King Solomon told her to
take the baby and go home and
wash its face for he knew it was
hers. He told the other to go
chase herself. King Solomon
built temple and was the father
of all MasonS. He had 700 wives
and 300 lady friends and that's
why there are so many Masons
in the world. My papa says
King Solomon was a warm numb
er, and | think he was hot stuff
