And still my mein is stately.

They pass me here by day or night,
They speak to me politely;
But just scowl-that is my right:
Why should l answer brightly?

club. an organization of officers in Santiago
before the capture of the town. This music
box played one air, which was the favorte
of the club. 1t was frequently called for
during the siege and always heard by the
music lovers of the club with pleasure. On
the morning of July II, when the American
flag was hoisted over the town, the band
of the Sixth cavalry played that very air,
