This talk of war we're havin' now reminds me
Some of us thought that war would be, back
there in 81;
The woods were full of fellows then who hol-
Tered day and night,
And tried to make the folks believe they fairly
ached to fight,
But when good Father Abraham sent out his
call for men
The fellows that had screeched before were
mighty quiet then.
I never heard of Grant or Meade or Sheridan
before
The time arrived for men to act-till streams
were red with gore;
| never heard of any of the men who rose to
fame
Through gallant fightin' then. until the time
for action camel
/ guess the Shermans and the Grants had moth
in much to say
Before the day had come for men to plunge
into the fray!
Now, there was Ebenezer Webb. who lived in
our town:
! tell you he knew how to put the worst rebel
lion down.!
For months and months before the time to
shoulder muskets came
He fairly howled for war and swore his soul
was all aflame;
But when that dismal day arrived that men
were called To go
The folks were shocked to hear that Eb had lost
his little toe.
My cousin Cyrus, too, was fierce before the war
began;
He ripped and tore and carried on just like a
crazy man;
He'd hang around the grocery store and tell
what he would do
If he was in Abe Lincoln's place-and folks be-
lieved him. too,
And cheered the hings he said. until the time
for fightin' came
Then, by the greet Jerusha, Cy pretended he
was lame!
The only man from our town h won a pair
of stars
Was Henry Gray, who never claimed to be a
son of Mars;
| He'd merely stood around without a warlike
word to say.
| But when they wanted men to fight, he boldly
marched away! ~
I have to smile when / recall some howlin tha'
was done
IS. E.. Kise- in the Cleverand Leader.

A Prophetic Ode to Dewey.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.l
On Commodore Dewey's departure for Hong
Kong last November a dinner was given for
him at the Metropolitan club in Washington,
at which the following v~erses-then scarcely
appreciated perhaps at their true prophetic
~worth-were read by Colonel Archibald Hop
kins:
Fill all your glasses full tonight;
The wind is off the shore;
And be it feast or be it fight,
We pledge the commodore.
Through days of storm, through days of calm,
On broad Pacific seas;
AT anchor off the Isles of Palm.
Or with the Japanese;
Ashore, afioat. on deck, below,
Or where our bulldogs roar;
To back a friend or breast a foe,
We pledge the commodore.
We know our honor1l be unstained
Where'er his pennant flies;
Our rights respected and maintained.
Whatever power defies.
And when he takes the homeward tack
Beneath an admiral's flag,
Well hail the day that brings him back
And have another jag.
Today Colonel Hopkins has added this post
script to his toast:
Along the far Philippine coast,
Where flew the flag of Spain,
Our commodore today can boast
Twill never fly again.
And up from all our hills and wales,
From city. town and shore,
"A mighty shout the welkin halls:
well done, brave commodore!
Now let your admiraIs pennant fly;
You've won it like a man,
Where heroes love to fight and die.
Right in the battles van"

STATE NEWS.
Items of Special Importance Clipped From
Exchanges.

The Fergus County Argus has bten
greatly improved in appearance by a
change of form from folio to quarto,
a style that is being adopted by the
strictly up-to-date weekly news
papers the country over.-Billings
Gazette.
Billings Gazette: Edward NJ.
Jennizen, senior member of the Mus
selshell sheep firm of Jennizen Bros,
and Mrs. Kitty McGregor of this city
were united in marriage at 8 O'Clock
last night. The ceremony was per-
formed by Judge A. Fraser at the
parlors of the Cottage Inn. Joseph
Zimmerman was best man and his
wife the bridesmaid. The newly
married couple will leave tomorrow
for their home on the Musselshell.
Billings Gazette: Z. B. Ryan of
Leavenworth, Kan, member of the
Ryan Bros. cattle company, came in
over the Burlington Monday and
left the following morning for juno
ton to turn over the first gathering
of the herd of Ii, 900 head of range
cattle recently sold to Matt Murphy.
The cattle range drought the
counties of Yellowstone, Fergus,
Meagher, Custer and Dawson and
Mr.. Ryan expects that it will take
several months to gather and
transfer the whole herd.
Billings Gazette: A telegram re-
ceived from j. NJ. Cox, foreman of
Ryan Bros. cattle outfit in Arizona,
conveys the information that Pierre
La Grange, a cowboy in the employ
of that outfit, was shot and killed
the past week at Tombstone by a
man named Mcdonald. LAGRANGE
was well known among thecowboys
of eastern Montana and in 1887 was
in the employ of San Garvin of this
city. He left Billings about five
years ago and has been working for
Ryan Bros. on their Arizona range
ever since. No particulars of the
killing have been received.
Belt Times: Company /, is made
up of men from all walks of life,
many of them resigning important
and lucrative positions that they
might assist in defending their
country's honor, and we doubt if
there is a finer body of men from any
section of the country. Although
travel-stained by their overland
journey, the company made a very
favorable impression upon the people
OF this section who sized them up
with critical eye, and the verdict was
unanimous that the boys from the
famous Judith Basin and the Belt
Valley would make a record that
would II q them as famous as
the country they represent.

On board the Associated Press
dispatch boat, Kate Spencer, off
Havana, May 16; Key West, May II:
The ships of the American blockading
squadron are keeping vigilant watch
for the appearance of the Spanish
fleet and will not be taken by sur
prise should the Spanish men-of-war
round Cape Antonio, the western
point of Cuba, and swoOp down on
Havana. All of our ships have been
warned of the possibility of such a
move and our sailors are keeping
constantly in the tops where they
can foresee the arrival for thirty
miles. The torpedo boats and
fast yachts of the auxiliary fleet keep
the blockading ships i'm constant
communication with Key West,
whence the movements of the vessels
are being directed. The general
opinion is that there will be no
movement OF the army in the direc-
ton of Cuba so long as the Spanish
fleet remains in American waters, or
until it is met and beaten.

General Hughes was at the war
department today in connection
with the assignment of the troops to
be commanded by General Merritt in
the Philippines. The department
realizes that Merritt will have an
important and delicate duty to per-
form as military governor and must
have a well disciplined force to deal
with the discOrdant element. There
is not enough regulars in the west to
furnish what Merritt thinks neces-
sary and Secretary Alger is consider
ing the advisability of withdraw wing
three regiments of regulars from
Tampa"

dispatch from Santa Lucia, West
Indies, to the World says: "a large
war ship was sighted last night lying

be a Spanish squadron watching for

MADRID, May 16. - The Heraldo
takes a most gloomy view of the sit
uatiOn. In a leading article today
that paper says: "Our warships have
been destroyed; our brothers i'm Ma
Mia are besieged; Cuba is blockaded
and u troops there abandoned to
Providence: Puerto Rico is threat
ened and may be about to receive the
enemy's fire; u squadron is sailing
in search of a supreme engagement,
and here there is no government. All
Spain is convulsed with a terrible So
cial crisis and is ADMINISTRATION; it is
wavering between a state OF siege
and absolute anarchy; where a bril-
liant light should be there is utter
darkness, indecision and flight. There
is no government, no ministry-no
nothing"

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE general

will encircle the Island of Cuba, main
