THE RED CROSS NURSE.

The praises of the admirals are ringing
everywhere;
The p1audits of the generals are sing
ing in the air;
The men who sailed to sink their
lives within the Merrimac
$50 dauntless they that even death was
fearful to attackD,
The hard marines whose tactics knew
no signal for retreat,
In the rain of Mauser bullets and the
drench of tropic heat,
The rough and ready riders in their
resolute advance,
Ali make our daily records a continu-
Gus romance.
We cry them in our stories; we chant
them in our verse;
But let us sing stanza for the Red
Cross army nurse.
She is in the foremost battle, she is in
the rearmost tents,
She wears no weapon Of attack, no ar
NOR of defense.
She is Drawer than the bravest, she is
truer than the true,
She asks not if the soldier struck for
red and white and blue.
low and the red:
She is mother to the wounded, she is
sister to the dead
The victOr's cheer rings in her ears,
but these she does not heed;
The victims means and dying groans
are given as her need,
And many a suffering hero chokes his
blind and sullen curse
To smooth it to blessing for the Red
Cross army nurse.
Work on, o noble army, and the
crown of crowns be yours,
Not always shall destruction be the
glory which endures,
1t is coming; it is coming; you are
helping on the day
When we learn the nobler action is to
succor, not to Stay;
1t is coming; it is coming; you are aid
ing it along,
w ueA VIC huOW Cu6 I66U16SL udLIOu IS
as potent as the strong
1t is coming; it is coming; you are
bringing it to pass,
When the ships have shed their armor
and the fortresses are glass.
But in the stormy waiting till the ar
maments dispense,
Our blessings on the flower of war-the
Red Cross army nurse!
j. e. V. Cooke, in The Herald Of
Peace.

The apartments are magniicently fur
nished and are located in the center
of the huge building. There is a royal
entrance to the station which leads
directly to the train platform, and on
either side of the passageway are the
waiting rooms. The main waiting room
is to the left of the hall, and on one
side of the doorway is a painting of
the queen and on the other side a
painting of the prince consort.
This room is lighted by one window
filled with ground glass facing the
front, and barred on the outside with
artistic iron work. The upholstering
of the furniture is very handsome, and
when not in use is carefully protected
by covers, which render it impervious
to dust or London fog. The walls
are paneled with a material of silken
texture, surrounded by hand-painted
floral border. Then there is the writ
ing table, placed against the window,
which, however, has never been used

don, the train runs at uniform speed
of forty-fiYe miles an hour. If the en-
gineer made the pace forty seven miles
or forty-three miles he would probably
lose his job. Forty-five miles is the
royal speed, no faster and no slower
There is always pilot engine which
runs in advance of the royal train
about fifteen minutes. Some high Of
ficials are on the pilot to see that the
tracks are clear and in perfect condf-
ton and that the signals are working
all right. After the pilot has passed
nothing can cross the tracks. The
road is practically closed until the
royal train passes. If farmers wish to
Cross the tracks they must wait until
the special officers detailed at all the
grade crossings give them permission.
In it's passage through the kingdom
the royal train arrests all activity for
the time being.
When the queen starts from London
everything has been arranged At the
Paddington station there is a suite of
waiting rooms for royalty only Of
course, the queen never has to wait for
trains like ordinary people, but never
Itheless she has her waiting rooms.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-12-25

doors fold out to twice the breadth of
an ordinary carriage footboard. The
whole saloon is supported by laminated
springs of bright polished steel, which
are sensitive to the slightest oscilla-
ton.
The queen is greatly opposed to be-
ing jolted about while railroading, and
her attendants see that the springs on
the car are in fine working order.
The queen also dislikes the noise of
railroad travel and there is royal de-
cree which provides that all switching
operations must be suspended, at least
for half an hour before the royal train
is due to pass, and all engineers on
waiting trains are required to prevent
their engines emitting smoke, making
noise by blowing off steam or other
wise committing offenses which might
prove disagreeable to her majesty.
Each of the railroads used by the
queen has its royal saloon or car. That
of the Great Western has three main
divisions, the central one being for the
queen and the other two for her lady
and gentlemen attendants respectively.
The queens apartments resemble a
tiny drawing room, with numerous
easy chairs and broad couch. These
are upholstered in cream colored
morocco, which matches the sides of
the compartment, cushioned with the
same material. The doors are made Of
sycamore, with satin wood mountings,
and the handles, as we'll as the key
latches, are of carved ivory.
The border design in silk around the
furniture consists of the rose, sham
rock, and thistle, which also figure
conspicuously on the window sashes
and arm rests, which again have the
crown worked in silk upon them. In
the center of the carpet and on the
cushions are the royal coat of arms.
The roof has border of hand painted
work, and oil is the artificial illumi-
nant when daylight is shut out by the
blinds and curtains made out of cream
silk
The royal coach of the London North
Western system is much the same. The
interior is upholstered in dark blue
silk and the arrangement is much like
that of the Great Western. The queens
car is always placed in the center of
the train to be better protected in case
of accident. Usually the royal train
is made up of sixteen cars, as the
amount of baggage taken by the queen
is something stupendous. Very often
she also takes her favorite horses and
carriages with her, and these help to
swell the number of cars.
Each car carries couple of extra
guards and the train is fitted with
telegraphic outfit which can be speedily
adjusted in event of emergency. Moth
ing is cooked for the queen on the
train Stops are made at certain
places and provisions which have been
specially prepared are taken on. The
queen ever spends night on the train,
as her journeys are always accom-
plished in day time.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-12-25

is not ordinary in anything, except,
perhaps, in her love for her children
and grandchildren, and in that she is
just like any other old lady. The
journeys do not bother the queen
much, but small army of attendants
and officials excite themselves over a
paltry trip of five hundred miles or so
by railroad to degree that can scarce
ly be comprehended by the American
mind.
If a trip of this kind were con-
templated by traveller here he would
take the train at night and expect to
wake up at his destination the next
morning, and that would be all there
would be to it. Or, he would take an
early morning train and expect to
reach his destination in the evening in
time for a good dinner.
But it is very different matter when
the queen goes a travelling. The date
of the journey is set at least one month
in advance, and then there is no rest or
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-12-25

by the queen in the memory of man. In
fact, the queen rarely enters the room,
as she invariably passes directly to the
train. But the waiting rooms are al
ways in readiness for her and are
polished and furnished up week in
advance of the date of the journey.
The cars which her majesty travels
in were made especially for her use.
These are not called cars, however,
but are spoken of as saloons. Each
car is forty feet in length, and at both
ends the buffers are covered with thick
vulcanized padding to obviate any con-
cussion. Then at each bottom corner
there is the carved head of lion, and
the steps leading out from the four

WHEAT AREA INCREASED.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The statlstl-
clan of the department of agriculture
reports that the wheat crop in the
United States for 1899 at SAT 100000
bushels or 1878 bushels per acre. The
production of winter wheat is placed
at POI, 100000 bushels, that OF spring
wheat at 255, 100000 bushels. Every
important wheat growing state has
been visited by special agents of the
department and changes in acreage
are the result of their Investigations
The newly seeded area Of winter wheat
is estimated at 3O,150,OOO acres, which
is about 10000 acres greater than that
shown in the fall of 1898. Sowing
wheat is still going on in California
and some of the southern states and
the foregoing estimate is subject to
correction. The average condition is
GIL. The acreage sown with winter
rye is estimated at Z per cent. less
than that of last year.

THE ROAD TO APIA.

lieutenant Lansdale, while retreat
ing before large force of Samoan reb-
els, was wounded below the knee and
could not retreat with his comrades,
Ensign Monaghan refused to leave
him and save his own life, but, seiz-
ing a rifle from disabled man, made
brave defense against a horde or
rebels, until both the American officers
were slain by the savages.)
The sunny road to Apia
Is strewn with blossoms wide,
But many a savage foe turks hid
Within the jungle-side.
Twas there the gallant Lansdale
stood,
One bygone April day,
When unseen hordes cut off from view
The warships in the bay
"Halt! Haiti" he cried. "Stand, lads,
and fire!
What recks it how or when
We die, so that they tell at home
We died like f1ghting-men!"
His eyes grew dim, yet still beheld
Within that fated zone
His brave men falling at his feet,
Till one man stood alone.
And that was Ensign Monaghan.
Across his cheek he felt
The fire; but in his veins there leaped
The red blood of Celt.
FGood-bye!" said Lansdale's feeble
vote
His ensign heard him not;
He, too, was passing with his chief
Before that rain of shot.
So died this band. What flag can
droop
On foreign shores or seas;
What shield be lost to history
Upheld by men like these?
Stay for an hour, oh, loving hands,
That weave the victor's crown,
And raise a stone where Lansdale fell
And Monaghan sank down!

peace until the trip has been safely
made. The officials of the railroad over
which the royal parsonage is to travel,
work themselves into a perfect fever
Of excitement in making the elaborate
arrangements.
Little or nothing is published by the
newspapers about the journey, as it is
not considered a wise policy to let the
queens subjects know too much about
the arrangements in the fear that some
crank armed with the knowledge might
station himself at a convenient point
and endeavor to blow up her majesty
or wreck the royal train.
