My Old Home.

Old memories rush Ger my mind,
OF faces and friends of the past,
OF that happy time when life's dream was
all bright
Before the clear sky was o'ercast.
Very dear are those memories, they have
chung to my heart,
And have braveIy withstood times rude
shocks,
But not one is more real or dear to menow
Than the murmur of the clear sparkling
brook.
Years have passed and my mind is filed
With the world, its cares and ways,
And again stand by the little brook
Where | spent my girlhood days.
My old friends are gone, there is harry a
thing,
The hills and valleys have strange look,
And | give way to tears, and battle my face
In the cool water of the dear little brook.
This is the ways of the world, old friends
pass away,
And new faces rise in their stead,
But still mid the din and hustle thro' life
We cherish fond thoughts of the dead.
Yes, dearly these memories cling around my
heart,
And have brayely withstood times rude
shock,
But nothing brings back to my memory OF
the life | spent here,
Like the murmur of the clear sparkling
brook.

Porto Rico.

If the United States should wage a
war OF conquest and acquisition against
Spafu-which, of course, is contrary
to our traditional national policy
Porto Rico would offer an even richer
prize than Cuba.
The material resources and social
conditions in Porto Rico are superior
to those of Cuba. Though only about
one-seventh of the population can read
and write, according to the last census
of the island, yet much greater pro-
portion is white than in Cuba. This
condition, it is generally conceded. Of
fers a better prospect for the evolution
of an enlightened citizenship, as well
as for the development of material
wealth, than is offered by population
whose blood is largely African.
Though its area is only about one
tenth that of Cuba, Porto Rico has a
population at present of approximately
one million, which is only a half mill
lion less than that which the large
island possessed at the outbreak of the
revolution now apparently drawing to
a close.
Porto Rico is of about the size Of
Delaware and Rhode Island combined.
The population of Delaware is 1917, 200
and that of Rhode Island 399,318.
These are among the most densely
populated States in the Union. A
similar rule of comparison shows Cuba
to be about the size of Tennessee,
whose population is less than two mil
lion. In other words, Cuba, under
normal conditions, has been supporting
a population less than that of Tennes-
see, one of the most productive COM
munities in this country, while Porto
Rico supports population more than
twice as large as that Of Delaware and
Rhode Island combined.
That our navy will dislodge Spain
from Porto Rico as military necessity
at the outbreak of hostilities is a fore
gone coDclusion-provided, of course,
dislodgment can be accomplished, and
experts do not entertain doubts on this
point. During the past three years
Spain has sent a total of about forty
thousand troops to the island in diff
fereut attachments. This force, 1t is
said, has been reduced, through one
cause and another, to five thousand.
Such force could not render effective
aid to the Spanish navy in resisting
attack by the United States. What to
do with the island after hOstillties
cease is question which has not yet
aroused much discussion in govern
mental circles, but it is one which will
cause serious consideration before final
disposition is made.-iSt. Louis RepUb-
lie.

anchored in the stream all night. She ad-
1usted her compasses at an early hour and
then passed up the bay through the Rae
coon straits and past the docks on the
northern frontage of the city. Every
steam vessel in the harbor blew au revoir
to Captain Glass and his crew. None of
the forts in the harbor saluted the YES
sci but the demonstration made by the
5000 soldiers gathered at the Preside was
tremendous. When the vessel was sighted
coming down the bay the soldiers gath
cred on the beach TO bill her bon voyage.
They lined the beach for mile and cheer
upon cheer rang out from the men who
were soon TO follow the Charleston to the
scene of Admiral Dewey's triumph. The
Charleston's big siren answered the boys
on the beach time and again and the
whistling was heard from one end of
the city to the other. Never has a war

ARMY'S NEW UNIFORM

Tampa Fla, May 23.-The tirne-honored
blue uniform of the army is being replaced
by the more sonlbre gray. The cloth
used is light twdlled linen, of gray-brown
color, selected after much consideration
by the authorities at Washington as
most appropriate for tropical campaign
ing.
The former heavy oblong shoulder strap
is abandoned being replaced by a tTfangu-
lar strip Of white duck. with insignia OF
metal The collar. cuffs and facings are
also white duck. which. with broad plat
in the back and four outside pockets, give
a more elaborate effect than any field uni
form previously in use in our army.
This uniform is not original in this
country, as many foreign armies have one
similar, both in color, design and ma
terial. Small ADVANCE consignments OF
these uniforms, which will lbe issued 10
enlisted men, have arrived at the quar-
termaster's Office here. officers hope that
the entire army may be QUILTED with
lighter clothing before the commencement
of actual field operations
