work and was grooming to himself an
eXtempore song, after the manner of
this kind. The war fever being high
and everybody talking about it, it was
but natural that the artists song
should have been suggested by it, SO
he was singing:

balance and replied:

was asking if his umbrella was there.

Peace proclaimed, the war is over,
Blood shall stain the earth no more;
Friend to friend shall be united
On Columbia's fertile shore.
Spanish forces quaked and quivered,
Sinking meath the Yankee fleet;
We extend the hand of friendship,
They've ACKNOWLEDGED dire defeat
Cannons' roar no more will thunder,
Nor the bugle blasts shrill cry:
Nor the dark ming smoke of battle,
Curling upward toward the sky.
Heroes blood spilled on the water
Where HaVana'S borders lave;
But they bravely met the conflict
And they fill an honored grave.
Cuba's free, our flag floats Ger her.
Kissed by old Soils" shining rays;
Spanish letters CALLED and bound her,
In the noon of other days.
Viva Cuba, no more harassed.
Sleeps beneath our grand ensign:
Kneels and bows in grateful homage
At Columoia's glorious shrine.
Let the blood of fallen heroes
Wipe the enmity away:
We have conquered, were victorious,
Spaniarts dare not tell us nay.
Let the lady moon that's rising.
Smile on, tranquil peace and calm,
On the graves of martyred heroes
And the home of Uncle Sam.

plenty of the military spirit. In evil
dence whereof here is a verse from one
of the lyrics:
When the boom, boom, boom.

Is heard at the rise of the sun, sun, sun,
And the shells go zip
Through the rigging of the ship
And there's nothing but the sky above

Then there's work, work. work,
To be done, done, done.
And you'll never get a chance to run, run,

For your home and the girls that love

port to Washington on the work of
quartermaster, commissarY and sub

per cent of whom were sufferers from
typhoid fever, and the remaining per
cent from malaria and dysentery In
