Coming Home.

Hark, the boys are coming,
Don't you hear them tramp?
Here they come with banners stained and
torn.
See the cheerful faces,
AS they leave the camp,
Marching on the happy journey home
CHORUS.
Coming home, coming home.
Don't you hear the drum?
Yes they're coming home, hTrr1a hurrah! !
The cruel war is over
The noble work is done
They're coming, they're coming from
the War.
Hearts that seemed as breaking,
Throb with JOY today.
Eyes are bright that long were dimmed
with tears.
Hopes that seemed as vanished,
Now are light and gay.
Doubling ones have banished all their
fears.
Now the War is over
May we soon forget,
Troubles that are past, and sorrows gone
Hoping that that the Star of Peace may
never set,
Praying for the Nation newly born.

THE SOLDIERS RETURN.
A Civil War Poem to the Returning
Volunteers.

The JOY of coming home was the
same in the days of the Civil War as
for the returning volunteers of today.
The poets have been busy with the
thought of the happy return, but
none of the productions are any bet
ter than the following which Deputy
Sheriff Pepper repeated to US one
day this week. He first heard it sang
by an actress who was with Sol
Smith Russell, at Leavenworth,
Kansas. She used to come to the
hospital in that city and sing for the
soldiers who were there recovering
from wounds.

and they fought, and the like of the fight
was never seen before or since. They
knocked the soft ground into hard, the
hard into soft, the soft into spring wells,
tho spring wells into rocks, and the rocks
into high hills. They fought long, and at
last BiIly's bull killed the other and drank
his blood. And then Billy took the napkin
put of the bulls ear again and spread it out
and ate another hearty dinner,
Then says the bull to Billy, says he: "The

tirely, the strongest of them all; he's called
the Black Bull of the Forest, and he'll be

the bull. you Billy, will take with you
the napkin, and you'll never be hungry;

come everything that comes in your way;
and take out your knife and cut strip
of the hide off my back and another strip
off my belly and make a belt of them, and
as long as you wear them you cannot be
killed.
Billy was very sorry to hear this, but
he got up on the bulls back again, and
they started off and away where you
wouldn't know day by night or night by
day, over high hills, low hills, sheep walks
and bullock traces, the Cove of Cork and

CHAPTER I.
The Adventures of Billy Reg.

Once on a time there were a king and
queen, and they had one son, Billy, and the
queen gave Billy bull that he was very
fond of, and it was just fond of him.
After some time the queen died, and she
put as her last request on the king that he
would never part Billy and the bull, and
the king promised that, come what might,
come what may, he would not. After the
queen died the king married again, and the
new queen didn't take to Billy Beg, and no
more did she like the bull, seeing himself
and Billy so thick. But she couldn't get
the king on no account to part Billy and
the bull, so she consulted with a he3-wife
what they could do as regards separating
Billy and the bull. What will you give
me- says the hen-wife, "and Ill very soon
part them?' Whatever you ask says
the queen. well and good then" says
the hen-wffe, you are to take to your bed,
making pretend that you are bad with a
complaint. and I'll do the rest of it,
And. we'll and good. to her bed she took,
and none of the doctors could do anything
for her, or make out what was her COM

he came to a great gentleman's place, Billy
asked the gentleman if he could give him
employment, and the gentleman said he
wanted just such a boy as him herding cat
tie. Billy asked what cattle would he have
to herd and what wages he would get. The
gentleman said he had three goats, three
cows, three horses and three asses that he
fed in an orchard, and that no boy who ever
went with them ever came back alive, for
there were three brothers, giants, that
came to milk the COWS and the goats every
day and killed the boy that was herding,
so If Billy liked 10 try they wouldn't fix the
wages till they'd see If he would come back
alive.
agreed, then" said Billy. So the next
morning he got up and drove out the three
goats, the three cows the three horses and
the three asses to the orchard and com
menced to feed them. About the middle of
the day Billy heard three terrible roars
that shook the apples off the bushes. shook
the horns on the cows and made the hair
stand up on Billy's head, and in comes
frightful big giant with three heads and
began to threaten Billy.
You're too big says the giant. ''for
one bite, and too small for two. What will
do with you?"
'I'll fight you," saiys Billy, says he, step
ping out to him and swinging bit of stick
three times over his head. when it changed
INTO sword and gave him the strength of
thousand men besides his own. The giant
laughed at the size of him, and says he,
William, how win 1 kin you? VIII 1t be

square round of boxing?'
with a swing by the back" says Billy,
If you can" So they both laid holds, and
Billy lifted the giant clean off the ground,
and fetching him down again, sunk him in
1t up to his armpits.
"Oh, have mercy says the giant But
Billy, taking his sword, killed the giant
and cut out his tongue. 1t was evening by
this time, so Billy drove home the three
goats, three cows, three horses and three
asses, and all the vessels in the house
weren't able to hold all the milk the COWS
gave that night.
We'll, says the gentleman, ''this beats
me, for l never saw any one coming back
alive out of there before, nor the cows With
drop of milk. Did you see anything in
the orchard? says he Nothing worse nor
yself." says Billy. What about my
wages now?" says Billy.
We'll" says the gentleman, you'll hard
ly come alive out of the orchard the NOR
row. So We'll wait till after that"
Next morning his master told Billy that
something must have happened one of the
giants, for he used to hear the cries of
three every night, but last night he only
heard two crying.
II don't know" says Billy, anything
about them"
That morning. after he got his breakfast.
Billy drove the three goats, three cows,

plaint- So the queen asked for the hem
wife to be sent for. And sent for she was.
and when she came in and examined the
queen. she said there was one thing. and
only one. could cure her. The king asked
what that was. and the hen-wife said il
was three mouthfuls of the blood of Billy
Begs bull. But the king wouldn't no
account hear of this, and the next day the
queen was worse, and the third day she
was worse still, and told the king she was
dying, and he'd have her death on his
head. So sooner than this the king had TO
consent to Billy Beg's bull being killed
When Billy heard this ne got very down
In the heart entirely, and he went doitherin
about. and the bull saw him. and asked
him what was wrong with him, that he was
so mournful, so Billy told the bull what
was wrong with him. and the bull told him
10 never mind, but keep up his heart the
queen would never taste drop of his
blood. The next day. then, the bull was to
be killed, and the queen got up and went
out to have the delight of seeing his death
When the bull was led up to be killed saws
he to Billy, Jump up my back till we
see what kind of horseman you are
Up Billy jumped on his back. and with
that the bull leapt nine mile high, nine mile
deep and nine mile broad and came down
with Billy sticking between his horns.
Hundreds were looking on dazed at the
sight. and through them the bull rushed
and over the top of the queen killing her
dead. and away he gallOped where you
wouldn't know day by night, or night by
day, over high hills. low hills, sheep walks
and bullock traces, the cove of Cork, and

When at last they stopped Now, then"
says the bull TO Billy, you and l must
undergo great scenery, Billy. Put your
hand, says the bull, in my left ear. and
you'll get napkin, that, when you spread
1t out. Will be covered with eating and
drinking of all sorts, fit for the king HIM
self" Billy did this, and then he spread
out the napkin. and ate and drank to his
hearts content, and he rolled up the napkin
and put it back in the bulls ear again
Then" says the bull. now put your hand
into my right ear and you'll find a bit of a
stick If You wind it over your head three
times II will be turned into a sword and
give you the strength of a thousand men
besides your own. and when YOU have no
more need of 1t as a sword 1T will change
back into a stick again" Billy did all this
Then says the bull: AT IL o'clock the NOR
row III have to meet and fight great
bull"
Billy then got up again on the bulls
back, and the bull started off and away

How Washington People Spend Many
a Pleasant Evening,
SIGHTS and SOUNDS OF INTEREST
Amusement urnished by All Sorts
and Conditions of Men.
A NICKEL'S WORTH OF FUN

Car riding is the established summer
evening pastime of this population. So it
is for the summer ay-at-honles in some
other cities, but car riding isn't half so
much fun in any other city as it is in
Washington. No other city in the first
place, has got a street-car system in such
neat, orderly, comfortable working order
as Washington. This is not mere claim.
1t is generally admitted by conservative
critics from other cities. Then, no other
city has so much that is beautiful, pleas
ing, ennoblfng, for that matter. to show to
car riders as Washington. Again, this is
no mere claim. Detroit folks may say that
1t is; but it isn't. Washington is so firmly
fixed in the public mind throughout the
country as the gem city of the country that
Washingtonians do not have TO scrap to
make the contention good any more
Finally, other cities haven't the car riders
the people. They haven't the bare-headed
girls, for instance The hatless young wo-
man in the Washington street car on a
summer evening is a real Washington mani
festation. A young woman who would en-

the kings daughter, would try the shoe on
them and whoever 1t fitted she was to
marry. When the day arrived Billy was
in the orchard with the three goats, three
cows, three forseH antS three asses, as
usual. and the Hkejof au the crowds that
passed that day going to the kings castle
to get the shoe tried on he never saw
before. They went in leoaches and car
riages, on horses and jackasses, riding and
walking, and crawling and creeping. They
all asked Billy was not he going to the
kings castle, but Billy, said he wouldn't
go. tn
At last, when all the others had gone,
there passed by ap old man with a very
scarecrow suit of rags On him, and Billy
stopped him and asked him what boot
would he take and swap clothes with him.
Just take care of yourself, now, says the
old man. and don't bevplaying off your
jokes on my clothes. or maybe I'd make
you feel the weight of this stick
But Billy soon let him see it was in earn
est ne was, and both Of them swapped suits,
the castle started Billy, with the suit of
rags on his back and an old stick in his
hand, and when he came there he found
all In great commotion trying on the shoe,
ana some or them cutting down their feet
trying to get it to fit. But it was all of no
use, the shoe could be got to fit none of
tfeln at all, and the kings daughter was
going to give up in despair when the old,
iOot>ii'eo
bowed his way through them, and says he,
Let me try it on; maybe it would fit me-
But the people, when they saw him, all
began to laugh at the sight of him, and
Go along out of that, you example you,'
says they, showing and pushing him back.
But the kings daughter saw him, and called
on them by all manner of means to let him
come up and try on the shoe. So Billy went
up, and all the people looked on, breaking
their hearts laughing at the conceit of it.
But what would you have of it but, to the
dumfounding of them all, the shoe fitted
Billy as nice as if it was made on his foot
for last. So the kings daughter claimed
Billy as her husband. He then confessed
that it was he that killed the fiery dragon;
and when the king had him dressed up in
a silk and satin suit. with plenty of gold
and silver ornaments, everyone gave in that
his like they never saw before He was
then married to the kings daughter, and
the wedding lasted nine days, nine hours,
nine minutes, nine half-minutes and nine
quarter-minutes, and they lived happy and
well from that day to this. l got brogues
or broughan and breeches of glass, bit Of
pie for telling lie, and then l came slither-

eral four in ALL Annie Wheeler is espe-
cially devoted to her father. The two are
almost fnseparabie, and it is no secret
among her friends that she has told him
that she viii go to every war that he does.
Miss Wheeler's services last summer are
so well known that they do not need re-
capftulation. For many weeks she went
among the wounded and dying with her soft
voice, sweet smile and tender ministra-
tfonS, king q ray of light wherever she
went. Although not trained for a nurse she
followed the physicians Instructions so i'm
picttly and displayed so much professional
capacity in her intelligent cooperation in
the hospital that she speedily merited the
warmest praise from those in attendance
and today it is fact that the highest COM
pnment that one can pay Annie Wheeler
is to say; Il could not tell you from a
trained nurse
her health, which was delicate before she
went to Cuba, has improved so that she
feels stronger than she ever did in her life
AS soon as Gen. Wheeler announced his
intention OF going TO the Philippines if he
could be assigned to active duty Miss
she then began to work for the necessary
sanction which must come through official
channels, without any assistance from her
father, who feels that, though It will be a
pleasure to have his daughter with him,
he could not take the responsibility of lend
irg his influence TO what might prove a
dangerous errand. Miss Wheeler has be-
sieged everybody, from the President down
and hnaify when she got what was sufii-
Client guarantee she was happy, and for
weeks she has only awaited the orders which
would send her father TO the front to ac-
company him or follow soon after
Such patriotism is quite sufficient to
again fasten the attention Of the nation on
the girl who has already proved of what
stun American girls are made.
