THE BRAVE NEGRO

by Jdunlta johnson.
Don't talk to me bout brave men,
Dat cher sailed de sea,
For here am de bravest one,
As brave as he can be.
Don't care If is a figger,
Or a dancer or a digger,
I am de bravest niger
Dat eber you did see.
De udder night 1 WIZ comm long,
Through dem dar big old woods,
I heard noise like thunder,
falling through de clouds.
I said dis am de debil,
Come to GIN me trouble.
I tell you friends my courage,
Mighty near glib out,
But right dar something said to me.
Be brave mig, mind what you're bout.
I sho' did try ter mind dat voice,
Cause l was scared half dead,
And when at last I reached my home,
My Jane came out and said
Good gracious, man,
Where hab you been,
Dis time OBJ de night?
Use nearbout read de Bible through,
Fore you could get in sight"
Shut your mouth, Liza Jane,
L like not come at all,
De debil mighty near got me,
You know l did feel small.
But right dar de courage rose,
And something seemed to say,
Here am de courage use it well
And don't forget to pray
Den jes kneeled down and prayed,
To God who lives on high;
/ asked him to help me out,
And take me to de sky.
Now, Jane, don't scold me any more,
AFTER dis I'll come home soon,
And maybe l will git around
Before de clock strikes noon.
"You sho had better keep yo' word
If you know what's best to say,
For de berry next dark night
You is late a gitten home,
Lord hab mercy, here you'll stay
Without single bone.''

TO DORIS

BY NJ. J. V.
Miss one year old would have us know
That she has learned thing or so;
Convincing proof, where'er we go
We hear "see."
Just that one word is ever said,
And really fact is, I'm afraid,
There's nothing else from lisping maid
'See, see, see"
Sometimes aur thoughts are vein so light
Sometimes as grave as darkest night
Sometimes they're wrong and sometimes
right.
That word "see''
Will burst upon responsive ear
And we are almost made to fear
That It's some witch when this we hear:
See, see, see"
And then when we are puzzled sore
With science or historic lore,
When light and truth seem covered Ger,
One word "see"
Will come so tantalizing clear
To stop it quick we kiss the dear;
For so we should, it does appear,
"See, see, see"
She will not let us have one doubt
or many beauties all about,
And evil thoughts are put to rout
BY that "see!"
The tiny finger e'er points straight.
Nor when in dark she's forced to wait,
Does eye of faith once hesitate,
See, see, see"
All! baby, we desire view
And daily we learn somthing new;
And yet there's much that we, it's true,
Try to see,
And fail; for when, as like to do,
There comes a darkness DER us, too,
We're faithless and cannot, as you,
"See, see, see."

ing Throngs.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. A.-The United
States transport Sherman, bearing the
First California regiment of volunteers,
was sighted four miles outside the
heads a few minutes before o'clock.
No one living any where within the
boundaries of San Francisco was long
in ignorance of the arrival of the trans
port. Steam whistles shrieked, sirens
screamed, bells rang and the streets
were soon filled with cheering throngs.
The Call scored triumph in the de-
velopment of wireless telegraphy in
connection with the Sherman's arrival.
Receiving stations were established at
the Cliff House and on the lightship
nine miles out. When news came that
The Sherman Was In Sight
it was soon followed by the cheering in
telligence received in the same way:
"All we'll on board. No deaths during
the voyage"
The premature arrival of the Sher-
man has disarranged civic plans to a
certain extent but it has been decided
that there will be an imposing naval
pageant as the transport sails in through
the Golden Gate. The men will be
landed about noon and will be served
with an elaborate breakfast in the
broad corridors of the new Ferry build
ing. They will then march to the Pre-
sideo and go into camp.
