Our heroes gray of forty years ago
Fall into rag-tme step ana move along;
Their march is halting, hesitatng slow
But wait some grizzed veteran starts a song
The dull eye quickens, ranks Of four dress up;
An empty sleeve, wind blown, is wildly waved
Death once pressed to its owners lips the cup
Paused then withdrew it, and lite was saved
And the shines and the same moon beams
On the graves of the Blue and the Gray
But the living know that watch fire CLEANS
On the shore of Mani1a's bay
The song the veteran minstrel raises high;
How an-fanniliar is it's quickening sound;
The brave old fire is in each comrades eve,
It's Tenting Tonight the Old Camp Ground"
And the route step falls to tread,
Again they are soldiers, to man,
They stand for the glory Of thousands dead

BITTER TASTE.


Daniel Webster in the famous White
trial in Salem, Mass, years ago, de-
clared that murder will out" This
maxim has been found applicable to
many other things besides murder.
Housewives know it to he true when
there is alum in baking powder. A
bitterness in the bread at once betrayS
the alum's presence. 1t cant conceal
its true nature. The alum bitterness
will out" and because it will, phySi-
clans. who understand the harmful eff
feet of alum on the system. are at a
loss to know why people continue to
buy baking powders containing it. All
baking powders sold for twenty-five
cents a pound and less contain alum.
There is surely no economy in using
these cheap powders. A pure cream OF
tartar powder such as DR.. Prices was
shown to be at the Worlds Fair, goes
so much further and gives so much bet
ter results, there is no doubt OF It's De
ing more economical in m long run

The Philippine Proclamation

Washington, Jan. 2.-l'oon full con-
sideration the authorized ere have de-
cided to adhere to their riginal inten-
ton and withhold from utilization the
proclamation to be aG .ressed to the
Filipinos by General Otis. the military
commander of the islands, until the
document has been given publicity at
Manila. The proclamation is very, long,
going in great detail into conditions in
the islands and outlining as far as pos
sible at this time the intentions of the
administra ton at Washington toward
the people of the archipelago, the key
note being the strong intimation con-
veyed that the whole future happiness
and welfare of the islanders depend
upon their conduct now. The proca-
nation was prepared with great care
and gone over in cabinet and then mail
ed to General Otis. That was about
week ago. Events of recent occurrence
made Secretary Alger believe that the
situation in the Philippines might lie
relieved of strain in considerable de-
gree by a speedy announcement of the
purposes of the government of the Unit
ed States, and therefore the entire proc
lamatiOn was cabled to General Otis
about four days ago. This was costly
proceeding, but one believed to be fully
warranted by the belief that it might
result in averting hostile clash be-
tween the American forces and the Fill
pinos and consequent loss of life.
