But while your mirth holds carnival
That every man Is shot.
In the rear you'll never find him
Where clash of arms sounds faint.
He'll not let lips Of others
His own word pictures paint.
He's in the thick Of battle,
He's where the strife runs red,
Hes grinding out his story
In that flying sleet Of lead.
He loves to write Of others
In whose Yalor he delights;
He ofttimes makes them famous
'Twixt darkness and daylight.
He longs to spread In detail
On the flaming scroll Of fame
The way that they won glory,
But he never tells his name.
He dies to serve his paper,
His LIES the price Of news.
There's no one to sing his praises,
And few can fill his shoes.

race to correspond to the pride Of ma

ger and a menace by using it for his
vicious ends.

The Novosti. an influential paper pub

Dewey must have used against the
ships Of Montejo's squadron at Manila
''some new form of explosive bomb of
a most deadly and incendiary nature"
1t also characterizes the destruction of
Ceryera's squadron as "unjustifiable
carnage" A special dispatch from
Madrid, which percolates through Lon
don, also declares that the Americans
have won their naval victories by using
''incendiary projectiles not sanctioned
by the rules of civilized warfare" The
Spanish minister of marine, the dis
patch adds, has been urged not to make
any representations to the European
powers on this account but has been
advised to adopt retaliatory measures
OF similar nature against any Ameri-

Y ~ tory,
How the army of invasion
Made the hated Spanish run;
Did you ever pause moment,
While the dons receive their dues,
And sort Of take a tumble
To the boys who wrote the news?
Perhaps you think it easy
Amid the cannons' roar
To rattle off good copy
While your paper cries for more.
Let me tell you, gentle reader,
War reporting is no joke,
For your soul may quickly mingle
With the raking battles smoke.
While pen is flying swiftly
Tide Of conflict to record,
Some swirling Spanish bullet
May pass you DER deaths ford.

At written on the spot"

Don't Cheer.

When down the gallant Texas steered
Abreast her Spanish prey,
Three hundred voices would have cheered;
But Philip said them, Nay!
Don't cheer!" For on those scorchins
decks,
Convulsed with dying throes,
Lie scores Of quivering human wrecks
Once proud, now conquered, foes.
No knightlier deed was ever done
Than that they did not do;
No drawer triumph e'er was won
BY wearers Of the blue.
That when, fred, flushed with victory,
Our jack-tars held their breath
And paid, on distant Cuban sea,
The honors due to death.
The bold are the compassionate,
And clement are the brave,
Fer quick to offer love for hate,
And yielding foes to save.
True courage hastens to relieve
A wounded captive's care,
And for dying foe will breathe
A tender, plying prayer.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor I had leucorrhea badly, and q
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.
