o little boy-my little boy,
why do you stay so long?
The night is here, with shadows drear,
IT'S time for mothers song.
The cheering crowds have gone away,
The streets are still and dead,
Why do you stay so long at play.
It's more than time for bed?
A great, great day this day has been,
lis writ In blood and flame,
And In the papers that they brought
i read your precious name.
our name, my boy-O little boy
What do you know of war?
Could God have meant the brow I've KISSED
Should wear "A battle scar?
o little boy-my little boy.
They tell me you have grown;
But, dear, twas only yesterday
You could not stand alone.
How could those tender, clinging hands
A heavy rife bear?
You were too tired to march, L know,
And so they left you there.
o little boy-my little boy.
You've rested all the day:
Wake up-the game is played and won,
IT'S time you came away.
The country has a million arms
To claim the nations due,
A million hearts to bleed and break,
But j have only you.
Wake up-wake up!-the hour is late,
You should not tarry there;
The night Is dark on San Juan hill,
Too dark for hope or prayer.
Wake up!-my arms are opened wide
To welcome o will joy,
And still you ~sleep-and sleep-and sleep,
o little, little boy!

Manila surprises yisitors.

Leslie's Weekly: Manila is a surprise
TO most Americans, when they come
here and find many we'll paved streets,
large commercial houses, beautiful
drives, magnificent residences and evi.
dences of thrift everywhere. 1t Is true
that dirt and filth existed to a lament
able extent, but even those conditions
are being improved, and what General
butler did for New Orleans General
gus is gradually accomplishing for
Manila. 1t has never been the custom
TO use the first story of the residences,
or even the commercial houses, for a
place OF living or business. The first
o o is a sort OF cellar, which is usually
used for stables and storerooms. This
is true even in the best houses. The
dampness of the climate and the thiev-
ing and incendiary ~propensities of the
natives have made this style of archi-
lecture n necessity. The windows of
the houses are barred with great cage
like iron structures that swell out over
the street, and a house is usually sur
rounded by a high, iron picket fence,

bottle glass imbedded in mortar.
The native is in evidence everywhere.
He is your servant, your day laborer,
your blacksmith, carpenter, farmer,
stonecutter, cook, and, in fact, repre-
sents to the Philippines what the coolie
class does to China, the negro to the
south, only, as you study his character
andl take note of his works in artistic,
intellectual and commercial and mu-
steal lines, you are compelled to admit
that possibilities exist I'm his makeup
that do not in other native races. II is
continually dinned into your ears that
the Filipino is hopelessly lazy. / am
willing to admit that he is lazy, but not
hopelessly. This is a climate of lazy
conditions. The Englishman who has
become acclimated never thinks Of
raising his hand, except for tifin and
n whisky and soda, from IL until 3
o'clock. He never walks a step out
side his office.during business hours or
after. His carriage is always at his
door, and. if not, the streets are lined
with two-wheeled gigs, called calls,
that stand ready TO bump you over the
pavements and drag you ~diagonally
back and forth across street car tracks
for 80 cents (MeXican) an hour. The
American is about the only II who
walks in Manila, and he is rapidly learn
ing better. While the sun is in evil
dence it is a foolish undertaking to
brave it's rays. Indoors, with or with
out punka, the heat is not oppressive
at this season. The natives, however,
do not notice this condition. They
work, heads barred, all day in the strets
and rice fields, indifferent TO the burn
ing sum-. It's only effect upon them is
to make them move slowly and to mod
crate their activity.

The WAYS OF March.

hS M
The keen white moon OF March has cut
across
The cloud of a sudden swath OF frigid
light;
A few clear stars with sharpened points
emboss
The shaggy vastness of the scowling
night,
As Il some gnome had hurled, in pass
A sheaf OF flaming brands against the
sky.
In blackness, lighted by no %camphre's
spark.
March meets his henchmen-all the lusty
gales
Who revel through a carnival OF dark
Till drifts the night wreck with its tat
tered sails,
Its decks by morning washed
away
It's masts half blotted out with misty
gray.
And in the bleak, wild waste OF early
Their flying arrows frozen music strike
From rock and earth-the frantic chas
Their hunting horn rings down the
cleaning pike,
And shrills away where sweep the lonely
And shivers down the gorge in weird cas-
cades.
And / could find 1t in my heart to love
The naughty knight who bears no OLIVE
I spray,
1 But casts before the world an iron glove
And dares old Winter back unto tn
fray
Who brings no spring of floral Offering,
And yet, withal, prepares the way 70
Spring.
For some day all the bitter winds shal
hush
Their boisterous din, and slip to gentle
ness;
The stern gray heavens catch a mellowin,
flush,
And warm, still tears the rimy cart,
caress,
And March's lutte shall whisper at tn
caves
OF waking blossoms and uncurllng leaves

Notwithstanding that a great number
Of people have been cured Of chronic
catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during the
past cold season, yet 1t cannot be de-
MED that the cold, wet, stormy winter
has retarded many cures, and In some
cases actually prevented q cure.

Congress from Ohio, In a recent letter
to DR.. Hartman, speaks of Pe-ru.na as
follows:

HONDURAS MUST
MAKE PREPARATION
Killing of Pears, an American Citi-
zen, Proves to Have Been
Without Justification.
REPORT FROM CONSULAR AGENT
Shows IL Was q Case OF Cold-Blooded
Observation-Disclosures Hunter In.
structed 20 Make Demand
on Honduras.

Washington, March 27.-Dr. Hunter,
United States minister to Honduras
and Guatemala, had a long talk with
Secretary Hay today preparatory to
starting for his post. The most inn
portant and pressing matter with
which the new minister is charged is
the presentation to the government of
Honduras of n request from the United
States government for reparation and
indemnity in the case of the Amer
lean, Pears, who was killed by a sentry
during n revolutionary disturbance in
Honduras. 1t has been extremely diff
hcult for the state department to OBJ
tain a full statement of the facts in
the case. The Honduras authorities
could not be depended upon to secure
any information, so the war depart
ment was obliged to fall back upon it's
w resources. First a warship, the
Machias, vas sent to Puerto Cortez,
the nearest spot to the scene of the
killing and Commander Logan made
as thorough an Investigation as could
be had at hat point. His report indi.
Gated that the killing was entirely un.
justiiable. But there were some mat
tiers of detail to be developed and to
that end Consular Agent Mitchell was
called upon to supplement the investi-
cation. He IA obliged to make a long
journey on horseback across the al
most ~trackless country, so that his re-
port has been greatly delayed. The
document, however, has reached the
state department and was today
placed in the hands of DR.. Hunter for
his information. 1t fully confirms
Captain Logan's estimate of the char
acter of the killing, and it will be upon
these two reports that the demand for
r%eparation will be made. The con
sular agent shows that Pears was
challenged at a considerable distance
by the sentry. Unfamiliar with the
Spanish language, he yet compre-
hended the nature of the call and
stopped instantly, but was shot down
by the sentry from what appears to be
mere WantonneSs.

Is the time for all catarrh sufferers to

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting oil the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SyRuF
