OUR FIGHTING BROADER.

o 1t was the breast Of the mighty west
That mothered him. every part!
She gave him luck, and she gave him pluck,
And she gave him hero's heart!
From the tropio'clime to the arctic rime
He never held tryst with fear;
Then out for him with shout for him
Our fighting Brtgadier!
What he lacks in strength, what he wants
in length,
Why, he makes 1t up in grit;
Once he riddled the rules of the scolds and
schools
Like the foes at Calumpit.
It was "go as you please" or take your
ease"
Through the whole of the grinding"
year,
With merry scott at the frownlng prof.
Our fighting Brigadiar!
He was never fam upon trail or train
To shrink from the face of strife;
And he quaffed the breath Of the Vale OF
Death"
AS though 'twere the balm of life.
Ger the grim backbone OF the Yellowstone
He was one of the first to peer,
Then cup for him brimmed up for him
Our fighting Brigadier!
There was no fright in the northern night
For his rare and rowing soul;
With the same unhaste that he ranged the
waste
He'd have PARTED with the pole.
In canoe or camp, in the dry or damp,
His courage shone clean and clear;
Then here's to him-three cheers to him
Our fighting Br.Gadier
Not long could re Eide the roaring tide
Where the city's canyons pour
So he joined the few Of the dauntless crew.
And was off for the Cuban shore.
He raised rare fun with his dynamite gun,
And he scattered the Spaniards sheer,
So a song for him ring strong for him
Our fighting Brigadier!
Though wounded, when there was call for
men
To sever tyrant's bars,
Who but he to the fore should be
To strike for the stripes and stars?"
From Floridas sand to Oregon's strand
Was no valianter volunteer
Than this hero-arm from the Deer Creek
farm
Our fighting Brigadier!
Everyone knows how at Malolos
He charged with his reckless ire
How he swan the stream in the wicked
CLEAN
OF the FilIpinos' fire.
We've but to name him for all to claim him.
Our "Madcap Anthony's" peer;
Then hail to the man of Caloocan-
Our flghHng Brigadier!

kissing All the Girls.

The ancient and unique customs con-
nected with Hoch Tide were lately OBJ
served at Hungerford. The morn was
ushered in by blasts blown from John
of Gaunt's horn. The Hoch Tide jury
were sworn in by the town clerk, after
which the constable (who is also cor
oner), portreeve, bailiff and tuttimen
were elected. Two tuttimen are elected
each year, and their duties are quite
unique, as on Hochney day they have to
visit each house in the borough and
collect a coin of the realm from the
males and have the privilege of taking
a kiss from each female. These tutti-
men carry long poles, adorned with
choice flowers, tied with blue streamers
and surmounted with oranges. The
tuttimen are followed by the school
children, who all have holiday on
Hochney day. Each lady who receives
kiss is entitled to an orange. In this
way, and in throwing to the children,
about 1000 oranges are distributed
during the day.-Philadelp Inquirer.

Miss Olive May, formerly OF Beatrice,
Nebraska, and sometime Mrs. Henry

He never writes play unless he has

are certain reasons why it Is necessary
to open another score book on January

treasurer has said that he would COL

pedients granted him by the law for
the purpose of coercing those who
share In the benefits of community life
and neglect to pay their own assess

for six days while the world celebrates
the birthday Of the Prince Of Peace.
1t Is the children's week. For once in
the year the world is theirs. They
give much more than they receive.
Their cheerfulness, their Astounding
