Paul Du Chail1u,s ADVICE.

Paui Du Chaillu, the noted African
explorer and author. who last week
was the guest Of the Watsons Mt
Eastern Point, has sent the following
letter to young man who had en-
listed.
My Dear --: II was news to me
when | heard that you had enlisted.
congratulate you, | aln proud of Won.
and | write as an old traveller I'm both
hot and cold climates. l will tell you
my experience while travelling in
warm countries. abstained from
strong drinks, because | found that
they did not help me. On the con-
trary. felt weaker half an hour after,
so | gave them up.
Before | undertook my second
journey to Africa began to take two
or three grains of quinine every day,
weeks before l left New York, and
continued to do so after my arrival
on the coast of that unhealthfuI
continent, near the equator. The re-
suit was that l was free from fever
during my expedition. Wear a band
of flannel around your stomach.
Train yourself to drink as little water
as you can. Next to fever, dysentery
is to be feared. The doctor probably
will give you few drops of laudanum
or something equivalent Look out
that your liver is in good order. l
suppose your officers will make you
go in the sun as little as possible, for
this is one of the causes of fever.
Keep under shelter at night.
"These are the rules that / applied
to myself, and you know how healthy
l am after all have gone through.
The country is looking upon you and
all the other young fellows who, like
yourself, have enlisted. God bless
you Your old friend,
Paul du Challiu."

THE FLAG OF LIBERTY.

That ocean-guarded flag of light, forever

1t flashed DER Monmouth's bloody fight and
lit McHenry's sky;
II bears upon its folds of flame 70 earth's
remotest wave
The names of men whose deeds Of fame
shall e'er inspire the brave.
Timbers have crashed and guns have pealed
beneath its radiant glow,
But never did that ensign yield ita honor
TO the foel
Its fame shall march with martial tread
down ages yet TO be;
To guard those stars that never paled In
fight on land OF sea.
Its stripes of red eternal dyed with heart
streams of all lands
Its white, the snow-capped peaks that hide
in storm their upraised hands;
Its blue, the ocean waves that beat round
Freedoms circle shope;
Its stars, the print of angels feet that shine
forever morel

Delmay found that his conscience
would not allow him to go on with 1t

Once more II was late at night, and
the Major paced his chambers. They
no longer had the air OF a dream that

he knew that, except when he was
away for the shooting, or spending an
occasional week in Paris, he would in
habit them for the rest Of his natural
life.
Christine's letter lay on the table.
He took 1t up and reread portions Of it.

He read this through twice. Then he
recalled that scene in the garden where
the proposal had been made, and he
remembered from whom practically
the proposal had come And then
though he was sore at heart, he grlnned
sardonically.
