A NEWSBOYS' PICNIC.

The newsb,y OF ON ,ha had picnic
last Sunday 1T the park north OF the
city. Several hundred Of the little tat.
terdemalions went out ou the street
cars. a wriggling. wiry mess OF little
bove, aud the fun they had is not to be
ex pressed IN any but the words Of boy.
No sooner were they on the green
grass until they were running wild like
young colts loose from the stall. Such
yelling and scresching! Never did such
noises come from human throats before.
From long use in crying the morning
and evening papers their voices were
raucous aud the air was rent with ear
splitting yells. ... .......
Each boy was supplied with tickets that
entitled him to all the free food and
drink his little hide would hold, and the
way these bo, 8 did get on the outside
OF things WAS q caution to all beholders.

OF course there was program and
it WAS "dinger" 10 the vernacular OF

FROM GODS COUNTRY. AUGUST, 1899.
For the Courier. .
Come back to the heaven-wide heart Of your mother,
Strong she hath sent like the wind from her hills;
Who have borne mountains and to another
The sap Of her sunshine, the blood Of her rlls
Come back the plains where the cloud shadow flying
Floats free from the gates Of the to the sod;
And no lair where the slime Of the serpent is lying
Dsfigures the face Of the country Of God.
But open and clear to the stars and the tide,
She hideth no hold where the pestilenee waits
She hdeth hurt the hurt Of that June tide
When her stborn beloved went forth from her gates.
Come back the land tina no shadow hath darkened
Save the shadow that hung by the eehong sea,
Where the heart Of your mother hath waited and hakened
In the long island watches we paced sleeplessy,-
To the breath Of your lips when the bateeat thickend
To the rush Of your feet in the bateloosed strife,
To the hrob Of your hearts when the fever pulse quekened
In the veins she has filled with her glorious life
Come where she waits in the sheer August splendor
That lies on the brows Of her heaven-bared hills.
The first who have taken the lance to defend her,
Come drink Of the cup Of thanksgiving she fills
Come back to the land that no glory hath lightened
Like the glory we bring from the valleys We trod
Where in famine and fever and death, unafrightened,
Ye carried the hearts Of the country Of God.
Come back, ye that may, in your warriors reealia;
Come back we that march cleaning white by their side,
That waksn to to the soldiers revele, u
But sleep evermore in the hearts we abide .....
Come scared herohost Of the dead and the living,
Who have poured for strangers the blood Of land
Far than the lives we have rocked not in giving,
Is the faith that may die, but may not understand.
Far than the glow of proud Freedoms defender ..
Is the spirit that failed not in doubling and goom
And the land whence ye like her in his spendor
From the white Of martyrdom welcomes you home.
Her harvests flow out to the hills beyond measure
Calm shineh above them the evening star, .
Bot the Of the gifts God hath given to bless her
the faith you have brought through the gateway Of war;

.aa Governor Roosevelt's Last Speech.
Governor Roosevelt has gift for call
ing things by their right psmes. The
Filipino insurrection he calls ian out
break OF savagery. The government
might ae consistently leave the farmers
10 this country to be butchered by mad.
dened Indians as retreat from the
Filipino islands while they are in arms
against order. There is no doubt but
that the ethical rights Of theIndians here
have been tramped upon. But 1t is not
expedient nor wise to discuss how much
and how far they are right and we are
wrong, when their hands are red with
blood and their belts are fringed with
agriculturist's scalps. They are savage
butchers and they are treated as such
No politician who cared for his future
would dare advise and encourage the
Indians to continue their depredat ions.
The consent OF the governed to settler
whose wife and children have been
butchered by the men whom the theor.
lists advise an argument With, does not
seem absolutely necessary. And the
peaceful and pastoral inhabitants OF
Luzon have right to demand that the
government ignore the governed until
they come to order. The United States
owes protection to the civilized, reason
able majority in Luzon and the disorder
ly bands led by Aguinaldo have no right
to be reasoned with and gently entreated
till they lay down their arms.

science" in all cases is not what
some people vainly imagine, but what
many wise men knowit to be. When
applied to bacteria it has in many cases
proved to be one OF the greatest OF
numbugs. Thousands OF strong and
healthy men are now living who thirty
odd years ago drank water out Of brooks
that ran through barn yards and out
puddles and ponds in which they could
see, not germs. but living and moving
animalcules, and were refreshed, and
not made sick thereby. What Is called
pure air is as full OF Oactaria as is pure
water, and diseases popularity attribui-
ed TO malaria, or bad air, occur in the
mountains and OF coral reefs in mid
ocean. Now, since it has been proved
that the soldiers in the late WAX were
fed on embalmed meat, much OF the
sickness and death that afflicted those
at Camp Alger should be charged to it,
rather than to typhoid fever.
