BLAIR THE REGULAR.
Can incident of the Battle of San Juan. }

Can incident of the Battle of San Juan.)
Blair, the regular, wounded lay
On the slope of San Juan hill;
Near by were two of the volunteers,
Bleeding and faint and still;
And farther up, in palm tree hid,
A Spaniard with deadly gun
Took cruel aim at the men below,
Dropping them one by one.
One volunteer, with feeble hand,
Fought with the pIaguing flies;
1t told the fact of lingering life
To the Spaniard's watchful eyes.
He raised his gun to his shoulder then,
And bullet sang afar;
1t hit the hat of wounded man,
Who lay on the left of Blair
Another! The boy on the right hand
WINGED,
Uttered moan of pain;
AnotherI Blair looked at his Redeemed
blouse
And muttered, ''I'm hit again
But there's one more load in my old gum"
His brow grew black with frown-
''And vow I'll shoot that Spanish brute,
Who fires on men that are down."
Weak were his hands as he raised his gun,
But steady his eye and aim;
Soon round the trunk of the shielding
palm,
The head of Spaniard came;
Then up from the slope the Springfield
spoke
And answered the Mauser we'll;
Blair, the regular, grimly smiled
AS the Spaniard shrieked and fell.
The volunteer who lay on the left
Moaned ''Water!" again and again.
Said Blair, "By making a doubIe-quick
1 may capture full canteen."
So firmly shutting his whitening lips,
He crept where the Spaniard lay.
Secured the prize and crawled slowly back;
All, painful and long seemed the way!
''You first,' said both of the Volunteers,
AS he held out the full canteen;
They saw his blood-stained blouse, and
they knew
Right well what its cost had been;
Blair could but whisper to answer them,
One hand on his bleeding side,
"You fellows have homes somewhere"
said he.
"1'm regular" Then he died.
Sidney of England, make room! Make
room
In the niche of courtly fame,
While side by side with thine own we
write
Another nobIeman's namel
Blair the regular! Homeless no more
Since thv DEATHS heroic dav
Thy name and the fame of thy gallant
deed
Are homed in our hearts for aye.

The fishermen made no examination of
the coast fer bodies, but saw the hulk
of a schooner also wrecked not far distant

opinion that the Paul Jones was blown

was due to a collision with the schooner
