SPIRIT OF THE YOUTH.

" HERE is a company of small boys
 who parade near the water front
 in this city whenever they get a
 chance, out of school They carry
 wooden guns and have something around them like cartridge belts. Half a dozen drummers furnish the music for them to march by. Crowds near the foot of Market street, who are wait ing for incoming regiments to march out to Camp Richmond, are frequent ly aroused by these boys, who rally round the flag" with spirit. Phil Clancey is the captain and Martin Nu- nan is the standard bearer.
 When the Civil War between the North and the South was in progress there were thousands of boy soldier companies in the United States. Some of the uniforms were very pretty. There were suits such as the old Con- tinental troops, the soldiers of the Rev olutionary War, were dressed in-three cornered hats, knee brooches, etc. Then there were Zouaves, with blue jackets, red, baggy trousers and turban-like caps. Small boys reveled in joint pro- cession of brass cannons, which made considerable noise. Boy soldier. con- panies may once more become as pop ular as they were in the early sixties.

NELLIE'S IDEAS
 ABOUT THE WAR.

SAW the girls march on Memorial
 day in San Francisco. They kept
 time to the music of the band and l looked cute My sister May says she would be afraid to march that way for fear horse would step on her, but she is a little thing, and that Is why she scares so. But she has a doll she calls Columbia, and 1t wears red. white and blue dress that mamma made for it.
 May says it would be the most fun to be general and ride on a horse. Are all the men who were on the horses generals? I saw one whole company of men who were riding and they all had sharp swords. Were they all gen. erals? I thought soldiers were always firing guns, but I must be mistaken. because mamma says they have to stop to eat and of course they don't fire guns when they are asleep, because they might wake themselves up if they did, and then they would be tired all the time.
 1 am 12 years old. I read all about the war in the papers, but don't under stand much what is happening. But I'll tell you what I'd do: If the Span ish are really bottled up, as the news papers say they are, I'd open up the bottles and give them some fresh air, for it must be dreadful to live in bot ties where the weather is as hot as it is in Cuba. But how did the Spaniards get into the bottles? They must be big bottles.

 When little Douglas Dodge talked to a friendly grocery man-for all the world just as little Lord Fat -tleroy used to talk to his grocery man-he found stimulus for his imagination and into his head e ie the idea which grew into fixed determination that he would go to war a-d fight for the United States and b- real nine-year- old soldier He Aeard tha there was a lady who wanted him to go to Cuba with her and he tho ught it would be we'll to have her with him, but this lady was fiction, invented by some one who did not know the child.
 Very well, then; he could not go to Cuba-he would go to Manila with the First California Volunteers. IF kept his secret. The day came when the Californians made their ever famous march from the cam ground to the Pacific Mail cock. Douglas looked at tn with beating heart and eager eyes. He heard the band saw the glorious. He had secretly planhed to stow himsel away on the l king and go with the Californians. He was not able to get upon the ship. But his purpose was indomi' -ble.

He trembled but felt happy. He was stowaway and he was little Douglas Dodea How he came there = cannot pretend to ex- plain.
 The great steln swung idly at the dock while torres were going on board. Crowds watch and admired the sol diers, but no one knew about the little stowaway; at least he thought so. But now the time for departure drew near The bow lines of the vessel had been loosened. Dow to where Doug las Dodge was hiding came an inquis- tive soldier ar Ia. ha1ds upon the boy and led him forcibly up to the deck, where he stood revealed before the soldiers and their officers.

 It was fun to see the walking beam carry the bear in the air; and then carry the Lob Lolly and Sinbad. The bear worked as if he thought the whole performance some sort of a game. We laughed and laughed and cheered, and the bear growled as the boat steadily forged ahead.

SAN JOSE. Let's play be miners, sister, And go and search for gold. Away up north in Klondike, Where all is white and cold. We must sail the big blue ocean, In a steamer called the Brave" And then we'll have a ship-wreck But all the lives we'll save. I'll be the captain. sister.
 And you the first mate true: And this field of wild fiag-lilieS Will be the waters blue. Over wonder, where those clovers That little knoll have hidden, Will be dangerous island
 On whose rocky shores we've ridden. After days and days of sailing We'll reach Alaska's land, And we'll leave our storm tossed vessel On Alaska's shore to stand. This patch of white forget Will be great fields of snow, Where slowly, with our sled and dogs Over narrow trails we'll go. At last we'll reach the river,
 Near where the gold is found; And when we go to mining,
 SnoWless will De the ground. Then see, here are the gold fields! These yellow poppies bright! When the snow was on the ground This gold was out of sight. Now we'll pick golden nuggets, All that our arms can carry And travel home with treasure For mama and boy Harry,

LITTLE SOLDIER
 AND THE GEESE

I've got brand new uniform,. I've got a flag and drum I'm looking up and down the road For Spaniard men to come. I've got sword and pistol, too; I've got a horse to ride; And when those Spanard men see me I bet they'll run and hide. But I will chase and capture them Wherever they may go, And I will bravely march them home, All marching in a row. And I'll take every sword they've got, And I'll take every gun, And after that I'll send them home, Y And then the war'll be done. Hello! Whats that? I hear a noise And see dreadful sight About a thousand Spaniard men, In uniforms of white! Oh, dear! they're coming right this way, I don't know what to dol I'm going right straight home to ma.

 So we all went to the Golden Gate Park Katy and Char'ie, Sinbad and the Lob LolIy. and I brought up the rear, and in forty minutes we were at the cage in which the griZz-.- bear is a prisoner.
 After we get him out he'll be all right" explaired the Lob Lolly. He will go out of the park with us so quiet like that no one will notice him. Then We will let him loose and he will find his way back to his old home in the hills and be through with his ills that's another poem."
 Where did you learn poetry?" asked Katy admiringly.
 Charlie grinned.
 I've. been reading the war poems, fifty a day, and all pretty bad, ever since Dewey took Manila"
 It was just as the Lob LOlly had saia.' We took the grizzly out of his cage; the Lob Lolly cutting off the iron bars wi a chisel, a--d the bear looked happy-the first time in years He walked along with us through the Park on his hind legs. loo'-'ng for all the world like the Great-Big-Bea in the GOldilOckS story. AS "e took side path the policemen did not see us. Katy and Charlie both said that they thought this was stealing a bear, but the Lob Lolly arguod with them that no one can really own bear more than he .can porpoise in the sea; they were both curious to see what would happen and so did not really oppose what the Lob Lolly was doing.
 . But when we reached the starting Place of the Haight-street cable cars there was a sensation. No policeman happened to be there. but there were many car men and a raft of women and children standing about.
 *:We.d better get on a car" Sinbad pr0posed. That was all right, but the grizzly would not go. He anchored him. self near a popcorn stand and would not budge one inch, evidently meaning to stay. there until he could eat up all the popcorn, peanuts, candies, bananas

and oranges in sight. One of his first acts was to step upon the peanut roaster with one big foot, thereby breaking it open. He ate all the pea nuts and opened his mouth for more.
 The Lob LOlly was a master of strategy. He lugged the whole stand of goodies, with the help of Sinbad, to one of the cars and threw it inside Then the bear ambled in and began to gorge himself.
