The following patriotic poem was
uttered on the floor of congress by
Mr.. Berry. 1t created the greatest
enthusiasm whenever the name of
the gallant Schley was mentioned:
WHEN the spanish feet with full
Roadway,
Dashed out of Santiago bay,
Taking the chance of death and wreck
Who stood on yankee quart erdeck,
And marked the game with eagle eye =?
Say, was it Sampson, or was it Schley2
Who was it, when shot and screaming
shell.
Burned Sabbath calm into echoing hell?
Steamed into the thickest of the fray
His good ship leading all the way
While the roar of his guns shook earth
and sky,
Say, was it Sampson or was it Schley
In America hearts, who holds first place,
Of those who claim part in that glorious
chase?
Whose name stood out on that proud day
As the hero of San tiago bay?
In letters of gold, write that name on
high,
Shall we write it Sampson, or write it
SchleyP

The epidemic OF la grippe preva-
lent in the cities and the country
aeems to be of yirulent character,
and has numbered among it's vic
Tins all classes and conditions of
men. Were it not such a serious
matter to SO many people we should
suggest the Importance of cutting
the clinchers of the microbe with
yhe grip-at least some able inyesti-
gator should be able to isolate, segre-
tate and differentiate this in tangible
tuss. lite grip might not be less
violent but it would be interesting
to know whether he is a miorobe,
micrococus, or common bacillus;
and we ought by all means to know
his pedigree. 1t would also be inter-
esting 10 know whether la grippe is
q 'thgment of the imagination" or
an old fashioned cold "like mother
used to have. A conviction of the
latter status would no doubt save as
many lives as a medicine chest. This
thing we think we have is the stern
fact which knocks the "get well'out
Of constitutio that could endure a
great deal more than the magma
ton expires under.
