In the summer time, when the snow

black dots on the ice, probably asleep
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick ice to the
water below, and into which they car
throw themselves by the least move

up as near as he deems safe, and thex
begins crawling or his wary prey.

1t seemed to spring from the earth and

1t leaped out here and it leaped out
there,
Its message OF blood ran everywhere!
| But onward, with never half or rest,

And there, where the bullets whistled

Father Fitzgerald was marching, too
Marching and working there in the van
AS soldier priest and soldier mani!
Out OF the zone OF fire he bore
Many comrade, wounded sore
From the foremost line OF the fierce
attack
To the mango tree he bore them back!
Unto their wounds he gave balm,
And unto their souls holy calm;
To the ears that were closing forever
there
He breathed word OF comfort and
prayer;
Over the brow, blood-wet from the
strife,
He poured the blessed waters Of life;
The soldier saw, through the crimson
mist,
The light OF the Holy Eucharist,
And the shades OF death were swept
away
In the JOY OF the dawn OF the Coming
Day!
Thus, through the thick of the fight he
worked,
Nor ever all errand OF mercy shirked.
His canvas jacket. tattcred and worn,
By many Mauser shot was torn;
But on he forged where the good flag
went
With the men OF the fighting regiment
On, till the bugle charge was heard
Till gallant Lawton gave the word
Till the banner OF Spain came, riddlcd,

From the forts in front OF Caney town!
Cheers for their valor and tears for our

And our hearts to the Captain OF the

abstract from it single plank to get
back every man who left it. Nor do
I believe that we could draw people
10 us by cowardice. The day for am

That platform means something, and
II you ask me why it was that in the
campaign Of 1896 the hearts of the peo-
pie were stirred as they have not been
lately stirred I will tell you that it was
because the struggling masses found in
that platform an inspiration and aggre-
gated wealth found in it menace to
every man who robs his neighbor for
his own benefit. 1t was those who have
entrenched themselves behind abuses OF
government who objected to that gov
ernment. And we'll they might object
because that platform was aimed at
every abuse OF government, and I was
glad that was supported by those who
would have only asked me for just laws
am glad that the six million and a

to get other peoples hands out of their

hands into other peoples pockets.
