the way, is the unlucky color of the gam

the gaming house. These gentry keep or

bring them luck.
The Italians are no less superstitious,
and they gamble persistently. the poor

a dog, a gondola, and the "Libro del Sog-

you what the number is, and the rules

ways been a stronghold of gambling, may
have seen the declaration of the winning
figures from the Campanile of st. Marks
the silent, eager crowd gathered in the
square, and the group of officials gather
ed round the boy with the bandaged eyes
who draws the numbers from the cage.
There is story told in Venice of a
mailman who hailed a gondolier from the
window of the madhouse on the island, to
tell him the numbers he had dreamed. The
man put his money on them and won, and
from that day to this the gondoliers go
near the window as they pass, in the hope
that the mailman will cali again. The
story is true.

With never a Spaniard nigh,
To camp five months in Jacksonville.
Meath a eoppery Florida sky.
And we heard of our brothers across the

In the trenches at I'll Caney;
OF the glorious night round San Juan Hill,
And the charge that won The day.
And we turned away 10 our camp again
GLOW we cursed the Florida sky.
And we wished 60 God we had been the

Who had earned their chance TO die.

Not so many, by half, as in Jacksonville,
But stnl taking our orders from you.
And some fine morning at reveille.

A soldiers Thoughts.

| am not complaining. mother, but the
truth I'm going to tell;
I wish l had obeyed you and little sister
Nell
And had not Joined the army. for Uncle
Sam to fight,
Although he had sufficient cause, for
what was just and right.
Do you remember the day 1 bid you all
goodbye?
And not a tear was there within my
hopeful eye;
My thoughts We're all of glory no hard
ships could / see,
For l supposed when | came back, n hero
| would be.
l had a good position; was making money,
too
l left it all and came to join the boys
in blue.
From duty I'll not shrink, but by my fate
abide,
Yet often do think Of that dear old
fireside
Only a few years since, when I was but
a child
My heart leapt forth to hear of struggles
fierce and wild.
Now | find il more pleasant as a child 10
Than to be a real soldier, and from the
bottle drink.
Things are not what they seem, persons
not what they appear
When you go to church they viii seat
you in the rear;
They seldom ask you back. and never
home for tea,
They seem TO think you nothing, and
nothing will ever be-
We didn't join the army for the work or
for the pay,
But we came to stop brutality and give
the world fair play.
We left our homes and loved ones, all for
the peoples sake,
For the people are the nation, and their
honor was at stake.
We know there are some bad ones
among us, here and there.
But the smallest patch of grain will al
ways have tare
And think 1t hardly right to let 1t all go
to waste
Just because there are some parts that
do not suit your taste.
n we are all soldiers, we are not all the
same;
For what the bad ones do, the good
should not be blamed;
But It seems to me, It Is the peoples
way
To Judge flock Of sheep by the one that
goes astray.
Now. friends, this I ask: When good
things you are partaking,
Remember the soldier boys, eating hard
tack, beans and bacon.
And IL a prayer for us to Heaven you
should send
Ask about the muster out" before you
say Amen"
Bought wit is the best, though some
times rather dear;
However. IL ! live to get home. won't
regret ] am here,
But in the future when Uncle Sam gets
IN a bout
lie can't depend upon me to help to get
him out.
