The Chickamauga battlefield is an ideal

this point will be the rendezvous for nearly
the entire augmented force of the regular

WHAT DIXIE HAS DONE.

The St. Louis Republic pays this
tribute to "Dixie:"
Dixie has helped man the guns at
Manila and maneuvcr the battlcships
when Cervera struck his flag to Amer
lean prowcss of Santiago.
Dixie charged shoulder to shoulder
with the North and West through the
binding volleys at La Quasina and
faced without fincbing the death
dealing forts that crested the San Juan
hills.
Dixie gave Hobson as an exemplar
OF what American courage Will dare
and do in the face Of almost certain
death.
And, as prelude to the triumphal
entry of the army under Gen. Miles
into the city of Ponce, the port OF
Ponce surrendered to the American
cruiser.
Every patriot is moved to throw up
his hat and shout when the band plays
"Dixie" just as he is inspired to give
three cheers and a "tiger" when II
strikes I'd yankee Doodle"
May the two tunes always sound tc
kindle patriotism AMI to extinguish
s~ectionalism wherever Americans are
gathered together in the pursuit OF
peace or for the purpose Of waging
war against a common enemy.

or three seeds resembling small black
beans. The natives OF the district
where the plant grows dry these seeds
