You may sing about your heroes and their deeds
both brave and bold
How they paced the giddy heights above, midst
battle and the cold;
You may worship him, and fOndle him, and gaze
at him with awe,

There's the gallant Maine, for instance, she's
forgotten long ago.
We covertly sought to trace the hand that dealt
that awful blow.
And the reason? because it might have caused
cruel Spain to confess;
AS if such course had cleared her name. or set
our minds at rest
Of one thing we are all agreed on: San Juan

For Drawer boys, than the Names bold crew, to
fife and drum ne'er stepped
They were heroes; they were martyrs; they
: were brave and tried and true!
If we must adore live heroes, let us think of
dead ones too.
Not a second to prepare in; no farewell to wife
and child;
Nor the mother, she who prayed to Him in ac-

Tommy's Downfall.

Thomas Brogden, what an arlsto-
cratic name; yet more nondescript
looking mortal would be hard to find
than the individual that bore this high
sounding cognomen. Tom was the
scion of a worthy old English squire,
and through his propensity for women,
wine and late hours he had run down
the same road of many thoughtess
spendthrift and now employed himself
mostly by moving from window to
window in the city, looking absent
mindedly at the things displayed
therein.
He was very fond of pets and always
kept great assortment of them about
his clothes, especially the crabby, gray
back kind of animals, and it afforded
always an amusing scene to watch him
running his hands around lovingly
under his clothes to catch them. After
catching one he would roll it between
his fingers and then look at it philo-

RECOLLECTIONS.

dations recommended more than be-
fore.
Well, one night the sold man" ap-
peared radiant. He had received tip
to be on hand to encounter the
"rustlers." Dick and "Texas" were
absent that night, and after
that nights work we remem-
bered what we had not before noticed,
viz, that they had been absent when
ever any ''rustling" had been done
but this is anticipating.
The committee assembled and were
directed to various locations. We pro-
ceeded TO the positions assigned us and
about one o'clock were overjoyed to
see bunch of cattle being driven off.
With whoop, yell and pistol shot we
charged the "rustlers." There were
five of them. After the capture we
found two had escaped, one killed, one
wounded, and one prisoner, and the
prisoner was Dick. The cold man
was all broke up to find the boy in
that position, but would not or could
not save him from the "rnster's" fate,
for the laws of the cattleman, like the
Modes and Persians, atereth not.
Dick was given hearing and had no
excuse to give, no mercy to ask; he
said simply, 81 have cooked my bird
andsT1i eat it, He asked but one
favor, that they let him sing one song
before they hung him. After some
demurring they consented. Then there
swelled out upon the evening in song
the most beautiful, magnificent, almost
heavenly tenor voice that has ever
blessed mems ears. The tune was from
an old opera and to it had fitted
words of his own composition, describ-
ing his life from infancy, his mother,
sisters and all that was dear to him.
1t touched some of those rough men
till tears trickled down their faces, and
/ thought he was saved. His song
told of the trivial cause of his running
away from school, and being ashamed
to 60 home, had wandered west, of his
coming to the Barn and falling under
the baneful influence of "Texas." His
glorious voice died away and as the
dawn was breaking he knelt and
offered up prayer for forgiveness. I
said surely now they will free him;
but they hung him. "Texas" had es-
capped. BONES.

dead in battle of all valuables. Such
accusations could only eminate from
enemies, the English, in order that the
moral sympathy of this country will be
shocked by such vile methods. 1t only
shows to what extremes the English
will resort to Justify their base designs
against noble people. Does it look
reasonable that a race of people with
Amens on their lips, singing anthems
and hosannas as they march to battle,
praying God to strengthen them in
right and justice of their cause, does it
look reasonable, ask, that they would
defy Gods mercy by STOPPING to strip
fallen foe? No, no, they are too
amiabe and honest, they are above
thievery and lust, they are fighting for
freedom, for justice, they are fighting
for the divine rights of man against
the tyranny and divine right of kings
and their methods of bondage.
May they win is my wish, though the
victory may cost them dearly, though
the 'veldt" be saturated with human
blood, let it be known that they are
foeman worthy the worlds admiration,
for the Boer has dared and defied the
very mistress of the seas, something
that no nation would ever think of
doing. And why have they dared
"Her?" l will tell you. 1t is because
the bully has bullied too long a just
people, and they have pledged their
God they would die for his principles,
rather than return to an Egyptian
bondage. But where is her Moses to
lead them? Celumbiaiohs Columbia!
where have you lain the armor of
republican independence? Grid it on,
for thou art the Moses. j, C, ID.

1t may be said of the American
people, with a. grain of truth, that they
are the most inconsistent race of peO-
pie on the face of the earth since the
Boer-Eng!ish war has begun. The at
titude of our government toward the
Boer people in their fight for liberty, is
contrary to the true dictates of Ameri-
can principles and conscience, and
thus it is that we behold the American
people today poweress to share their
sympathy to those who by all the laws
of tradition have right to demand it,
simply because we have been placed in
circumstances of a compromising ma
ture, and so it is we must declare
ourselves neutral, while our hearts are
being gnawed by our conscience.
1t is merry good thing for England
that we are thus inavoidably and tenn
porary bound down as we are, with the
Philippine rebellion on one side and
the Cuban complications on the other.

inconsistency.

There is regret among the club wo-

Federation at the meeting of clubs in
Paris has been abandoned. The Cen

promote the "Union Feminine in
France, and to take part in discussions
and to aid with their counsel.
Mrs. Lowe, the president of the Gen

president of the congress, a committee
would meet the American delegation at
Havre, they would be honored guests
at various fetes. But the meeting of

makes it impossible for the General
Federation to get their representation
