THE WAR GIRL.

She wore a dress of navy blue,
The collar white and blue and red:
A striped belt-and stockings, too;
A sailor hat was on her head.
Red, white and blue her chatelaine,
She had a flag beneath her chin,
She wore a badge-''U. S. $. Maine"
A tiny cannon for a pin.
She wore a shell-comb in her hair,
With army buttons all embossed:
Some swords were also sticking there.
And at her belt small rifles crossed
Her pocketbook was knapsack shape,
Her smelling bottle a wee canteen
Containing essence of ''Crushed Grape
The neatest thing I'd ever seen.
Her face was patriotic, too,
And full of everlasting charms:

The task of moving the big dredger
from Thornton to its site on the Monte
Cristo mining property, three miles from
San Pedro, is a %stupendous one. During
the first five days of labor the dredger
was moved but a mile. Still further
delay was caused by lack Of material,

Manager Sparks, of the local tele-
phone exchange, mourns the untimely
demise of his favorite canine compan-
ion and faithful friend. The dogs
death was due to the poison that some
unconscionable person has been reck-
lessly distributing about town, presnma-
bly, for the purpose of closing out a job
lot of unlicensed and worthless ours.
Unhappily this method of reaching de-
sired results more often involves the
good than the bad dog and it should
hereafter be avoided. The unlicensed
cur scents the poisoned bit of liver from
afar and scornfully passes it by on the
other side, while the properly licensed
pet Of the family, being free from guile
and suspicion, eagerly nips up the
tempting morsel and soon after dies like
a dog.

held in the plaza last night, United

The slaughter of birds has almost entirely
removed one of the delightful accountant

this, IT may be said that one of the most
pleasant features of the drive through the

allowed within its boundaries.

A New Collecting Fad.

From the Buffalo Express.
The revival of the stamp-collecting craze
is having hard time. Women are not in
terested. and when they are indifferent n
craze seldom survives for long The poster
craze. the button craze and the badge craze
all have run their course. The latest is the
cross-gun craze. A young woman living on
Ferry street has set out to secure a set of
cross-guns of every infantry regiment, a set
of cross-sabers of every cavalry regiment,
and set of cross-canon of every artillery
regiment in the regular army. She secured
copy of the Army and Navy Journal,
learned the headquarters of every regt-
ment. then wrote to the sergeant major of
each regiment, asking him to send at her
expense a set of his reg iments cross-guns,
sabers or cannon, as the case might be.
She has embroidered piece Of white satin
three feet square, and as the cross-guns ar
rive she pins them on IL In rotation. Thus
far she has collected oyer half q complete
set. Many of the sergeants have sent her
souvenir cartridges, bullets or buttons with
the cross-guns. and these will be stitched
on the satin as q border.

Mothers Song.

From Chambers Journal.
W hen the thrushes their singing and the
Wild bees leave the clover;
When the glory of the sunset fades and leaves
the heavens pale;
When above the hill and mountains misty shades
of twilight hover,
And the dlscords Of the daytime far away In
distance fall;
When the rath wheat gently rustles, and the timid
aspens shiyer
And the west winds, signing softly, scents from
the sleeping flowers bring;
When the peewlts cry together piaintivey by brook
Then it is that I hear the old song that my
mother used to sing.
Round my neck feel the pressure Of her fingers
warm and slender,
And In sleeping dreams and waking have felt
1t many times
Just as when of old listened to that ditty quaint
and tender,
Till the boughs that waved above caught the
cadence of the rhymes;
And my heart throbs loud and quickly as hear 1t
rising clearer
Youth Is mine. its hopes and Visions dreams and
plans are mine again;
Earth is fairer, life is sweeter-ay, and heaven
Itself seems nearer
To me as list Ia fancy to that ne'er-forgotten
strain.

The Power of Electricity,
From the Buffalo Express.

An interesting experiment in burning
steel with electricity is to be tried in Gin
ctnnati in an effort to remove a safety
vault that was built forty years ago. The
vault has long been in disuse and the room
occupied by 1t is now wanted for other
purposes. The walls are constructed of
layers of hard spring steel ~ inches in
thickness. Two operators will be placed in
the vault. each with carbon attached to
feed wire. The men will wear heavy rub
ber gloves and specially constructed gog-
giles to protect their eyes from the intense
light. They will pass the carbons over the
walls of the vault, burning them In inter-
secting lines. A somewhat similar test of
electricity was made in Washington about
two years ago, when a hole large enough
to allow the passage of a man was burned
through the walls of one of the large gov
ernment vaults in twelve minutes.

Our Country.

Our thought OF thee is glad with hope.
Dear country of our love and prayer:
Thy way is down no fatal slope
But up to freer sun and air
Tried as by furnace fires, and yet
BY Gods grace only stronger made;
In future tAsKs before thee set
Thou shalt not lack the oId-time aid
The fathers sleep, but men remain
AS true and wise ard brave ~ they;
Why count the loss without the galnf
The best is that we have today
Thy lesson all the world shall learn,
The nations at thy feet shall sit;
EaTth's tarthest mountain tops shall burn
with watch-files from thine own upiit.
Great, without seeking to be great
BY fraud cOpuuest-rich In gold,
But richer in the large estate
OF virtue which thy children hold.
With peace that comes of purity,
And strength TO simple Justice due,
So runs loyal dream oi thee,
God of our fathers! make ii true.
o land of lands! TO thee we give
Our love, our trust, our service, freeI
For thee thy sons shall nohly live,
And at thy need Shall die Tor thee.
