mains as those OF Mrs. Margaret Auze OF

small part OF the ruins had been re-
moved An effort was made TO pull
down the section OF the rear wall by
means of a cable, but the cable broke and
the wall is still standing.

1t was on the Pennsylvania ferry
boat. There were a number OF celebri-
ties aboard, among whom were Gener-
al Wilson and his family. Colonel
Woodbury. OF the Sixth Illinois and
other representatives OF the army and
navy. evidently bound for Washington.
sitting opposite General Wilson was
May Irwin and some members OF her
company. She soon became the centre
of attraction, and every one began to
gossip about her half audibly, General
Wilson's family among the rest.
There seemed To be some sort of ar
gument between Mrs. Wilson and her
husband. ana at last she got up from
her seat. went across To Miss Irwin.
and, with many apologies for taking
the liberty. introduced herself. After
getting permission TO do 50, she took
Miss Irwin over 10 her party and made
her one of them.
II am more than charmed TO meet
you. Miss Irwin" said General Wilson.
i've seen you often and heard about
you still more. Why, do YOU know, Miss
Irwin, they have souvenirs OF you even
in Porto Rico. whence i have just
come"
why, how's that?" said Miss Irwin.
"Well," said the General "if you knew
how popular your songs are with the
army boys. II would be worth more than
all the applause you get at the thea
tire. Many's the time In our forced
marches. after the bands have run out
their repertoire OF national songs, they
conclude with selections from your
songs. They have even become popular
down there with the natives. When L
left IL was by no means an uncommon
sight to see squads of these copper coll
or>ed boys celebrating the turn OF af-
fairs to the tune OF The New Bully
and There's a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight You see, Miss Irwin,
the world is pretty small after all "
No one holds a warmer place in the
hearts of our soldiers and sailors fight

maker, May Irwin. who brings to the
