Written for The Evening Star
In the Awkward Squad.
Meath the blending of the banners
Where the men are marching proud
There is one of modest manners
All unnoticed in the crowd
While we hail each brave commander,
For moment we allow
Just a passing thought to wander
To the lad who's learning how
He is hidden 'mongst the many,
But his mettle. all untried,
VIII be found as true as any,
'Mongst our youth, a nations pride.
'Tis not long since loving fingers
Brushed the tresses from his brow,
And a mothers kiss still fingers
With the lad who's learning how.
Honors more than badges royal
On our leaders We bestow,
And for the departed loyal
Roses bloom midst tears that flow.
And, as forward he is pressing,
Ready to stern fate to bow,
There is God-speed and blessing
For the lad who's learning how.

Ingenuity of Boys.

From the Atlantic.
In physics and natural history there are
opportunities to direct and control the out
of-school activities of young people of
which the enthusiastic teacher of science
Is not slow to avail himself. One Of the
most astonishing facts of the time is the
ingenuity of boys in constructing electrical
apparatus, with but few hints and out
Of the most meager materials. 1 know
boys who have belt lines of electric tram
ways circulating in their garrets, and a boy
who. last year. was the despair of his
teachers won deserved recognition in the
manual training school exhibit as the clever
inventor of a most ingenious electrical
boat. An invitation to boys to bring to
school products Of their own ingenuity or
the natural history specimens that they
have collected, will result in an exhibition
which in variety and quality will be a reve-
lation to one who is not used to following
them in these interests.
So general and SO wholesome a tendency
is too significant to be ignored and yet one
almost hesitates to meddle with it lest
official recognition may rob it of it's inde-
perdence and spontaniety. With sympathy
from the school, however 1t may be di-
rected and made more intelligent. Inter-
est in nature, for instance may help to fill
profitably the long summer vacations.

waiting at the booths when the judges

1t was noticeable that there was little
disposition to be disagreeable on the
part of any of the voters. The Fourth
ward furnished the very few evidences
of trouble. 1t was rumored at the
Fourth that there was to be a challenge

the ground that he was not a resident

Mr.. Ovitt arrived and cast his vote

opposition being apparent

that he is an Irishman, met big Neu-

There was some disposition in the
lower precincts of the Fourth to start
something late in the afternoon, and
there was a crowd at every precinct on
the rumor of an attempt being made
to count the leading candidate out, but
nothing resulted from the gathering of
people.

Queen Wilhelmina.

The young Queen of Holland, who was recently crowned on her eigh- teenth birthday, though not beauti- ful, is said to be quite attractive, gracious, highly cultured and an all- round clever girl, as queens go. Of course, she will be compelled to marry, and the requirements are that the prospective husband must be Protestant and the member of a royal family, though not a reign. ing prince. Her choice is restricted to ten sprigs, and it IS a matter of no moment, whatever, whether old fashioned love figures in the case or not-indeed, for aught the world knows she is already in love with some obscure peasant, who hasn't the taint of royal blood in his veins. Be this as it may, on the occasion of the coronation all the ten availables were present for inspection, each eager to win the prize, especially as Wilhelmina has large fortune in her own right, and, will, moreover, be in receipt of an annuity of $400, : 900. It is not known if any one of them has struck her maiden fancy, though it IS said that she has pre- viously given the marble heart to her young cousin, Prince Bernard, of Saxe- -Weimar, because of his ex. treme homeliness, and this in de6- ance of the wishes of her mother. = New Orleans States.

crizzled heroes who, led by her father, have never ceased to wear the gray above their hearts, be- cause the principles for which they fought still live; and how her eyes lit up with wonderful loye-light such as a maiden might give to her favored sutton, as she looked upon that vast throng, cheering snd cheering as only Confederate heroes can, as General Gordan, the great golden hearted leader of the elan, said, Comrades, this is the daugh- ter of our chieftain. She was his ehild-she is our child. In the name of every Confederate veteran, both here and afar, I am going to take her by the hand and kiss her.
 How the welkin rang with the cries of "Our ehieftaln's daughter, "
 "Our child-his childp as the state ly Gordon kissed her in 5he name of the South. And far above the cheers and applause rose a tremu- lous voice that cried, "God bless the daughter of our chiettaln-ourc chief tain in heavenp How little did anyone there dream looking upon that bright and winsome figure, in whose face glowed the roses Of health as fresh and free as the wild flowers of her own beautiful south land, that soon, alas! so soonl the chieftains daughter would be called to join her father on the eternal camping grounds.
 From her earliest infancy, Varina Anne Davis, known to the people of two hemispheres by the pretty pet name, Winnie, has been the object oI the tenderest love and solicitude of the people of the South. She was called "Winnie' by her father, and back in 1865, while confined in cruel torture in Fortress Monroe, Jefferson Davis, writing to his wife spoke thus in tender terms of the babe of nine months: KISS dear little Winnie for me; and as she grows, teach her how much her father loved her when she was too young to remember. MT. Davis never expected at that time to look upon his wife and children again.

A BOARD OF TRADE
Organized By Our Cotton Men Monday
 Opened Today.

Monday, the cotton men of the city held meeting and organized a Board of Trade. The following of fcers were elected ..and immediately began their duties E. 0. Howell, president; Tom Mitchell, secretary; and S. c. Alexander, treasurer. Twenty-Five members compose the organization. The abode of this as- sociation will, for the present, be in the brokerage office of MT. E. D. Russell, over Wertheimer's store. But on October 1st it will be re- moved to the office now occupied by Dr. Troupe in the rear of the Ander- son-Meyer Drug Co.,, on Pine street.
 This will be of much benefit to the cotton men, who heretofore have found it necessary to go to the Fowler private wire on South Tenn essee street.

Southern Cotton Mills.

''The Philadelphia Times finds Tn the report of the cotton crop for the year just closed a statement which shows that a remarkable revolution in the cotton goods manufacturing industry is going on, says the Arkansas Democrat. "Of the l.180, ,9e0 bales of cotton produced in the United States during 1897 it appears that 1857, ,085 bales were exported and that l ,856, 900 bales were consumed in northern and 1,227, ,939 in southern mills. The output of northern mills has de creased 9.3 per cent during the past three years, while that of southern mills has increased A per cent dur Ing the same period. In other words the increased consumption of cotton goods for the whole country with something to spare IS being furnished by the southern mills.
 When it is remembered that al- ready the ratio of southern cotton manufacture to that of the entire country exceeds that of the ratio of the population of the South to that oi the whole country, some idea can
 De gained of the rapid increase of
