Oh, brave and wise aud steadtast soul,
Whose nation decks thy tomb to-dayl
SO long as this vast globe shall roll
Thy praises shall not pass away,
And we, whose fathers fell thy hand
Before whose blade they broke and fed,
Will honor, with thy native land.
The noble memory of the dead
For more than fame. or patriot pride
Before all things desirrA ana fair
Is frepdoml stand thou there beside
Her beauty In that native air
Thy lghtnings cleared, thar we might see
The tranquil splendors Of her eyes
Smile down on all thy race TO he,
And Its unrlvaled destlnieS!
Men spread the fenst and pour The wine
In memory Of thy stainless name,
And honors ever shall be thine 49,
Enduring love and deathlcss fame.
But though thy glory through the sphere
Were carved and spoken, harped and sung.
Thy ghost would not disdan to hear
One tribute from al English tongue.

with all solcmnty. From these sights of
childhood springs the conviction in the
minds of ccntenarians here and there that
they were witnesses of the real funeral.
Such is the trustfulness of old age in mem
cries of times long agone!
Ninety nine years Of national life have
passed since then, and America has given
far more attention TO anniversary celebra-
tons of that happier event-the birth Of
its first President-than to the yearly re
currence of the day of the funeral.
This year. however, the centennial Of
that day will take place, and the obsery-
ance at Mount Vernon will be on Dec.
IA, the anniversary of the day of the
death, instead of on the 18th, which was

The main plaza of San Juan, Porto
Rico, recently saw a strangely unwont-
ed sight-the presentation of American
flags to the various schools of the city.
Principals, teachers, scholars-even the
small lads of the orphan asylum-all
were there. Marching at the head OF
each school was a youthful and-who
can doubt?-supremely proud bearer Of
the standard-the emblem of new
hopes, aspirations and wider possihili-
ties. There are, 1t is stated, six hun
dred schools-publc and private-on
the island and to each a flag is to be
given. Is it too much to hope that, In

A Havana paper, the Discussion, de-
scribes the finding of fifty human skele-
tons in we'll near Maguito, Cuba, and
says that their attitude and appear
ances were such as to convey the i'm
preston that the persons were thrown
sn while alive. The same paper also
says that the remains of between two
and three hundred people were found
IN a well near Matanzas. Thus the evil
dence accumulates that the United
States was justified In kicking the
Spaniards out Of the island and ending
che reign of medieval barbarity at our
doors.

No President of the United States was
fonder Of display than the ilustrious
Washington. His state carriage was
painted delicate cream color, with flow
ers painted on the panels, and figures Of
cupids supporting gay festoons. When
the marvellous equipage passed along the
streets of Philadelphia we can imagine
its gorgeousness filled the populace with
awe. AS President, Washington was a
great stickler for form and ceremony. He
was extremely FtFict in hik rules Of etb

What is most exasperating about the
cases Of insanity among convicts
caused by idleness Is the fact that
prison labor can be arranged so as to
make the competition with free labor
insignificant. By condemning convicts
TO idleness in order to prevent such
competition, society imposes cruel and
snhuman punishment on prisoners. The
supporting of cOnvicts at public ex-
pense Is more of burden on labor than
the competition would be If the labor
should be diversified.

suits may not be far distant. No MILL

set limits to the demands for money to

present competition Is to 20 on without

A writer in the Forum, who an
nounces himself as having been
tramp, with no literary or sociolog-
ical motives" defines and differentiates
that particular genus as follows: "A
tramp Is not a hobo; hobo is not
tramp; vagrant is neither, and a
criminal is none of these" The tramp's
sole object in life is to 'have a little
fun" but without that work which
true enjoyment. Work he despises,
and not even the pangs of hunger will
induce him to engage in 1t when 1t Is
made preliminary to promised meal.
The hobo is. in most cases, a man who
is driven TO the road from want Of that
which the tramp loathes-work. He is
victim of circumstances, and not
social parasite. The vagrant is q
loafer In towns and cities so long as he
finds 1t safe and profitable. He is
often "grafter Is, a creature
who Stimulates lameness and cutaneous
diseases in order to excite pity and
charity, and is apt to be addicted either

writer thinks 1.-The tramp should be
given up as hopeless" to be helped or
denied, as those TO whom he appeals
may feel inclined. But he pleads for
the hobo. HE is young" he says: "he
can work; he is inclined to work"

No one can study the food supply of
the British isles without feeling certain
that English statesmen will always go
to extreme lengths to prevent war or
serious trouble of any kind with the
United States. They must avoid, at all

the swarming millions of British cities.
