when tho Regiments March AVA

When the regiments march away
Under the old red, white and blue,
Whose brown stripes ripple Farewell
To the tear-dimmed eyes and the hearts
so true.
What do the war drums say?

To the wrath and red o. the fray,
Go bayonets and blades
OF the gallant brigades,
From patriot mothers and loved, fair

Away! away! to the crimson fray;
And the boys will be back some day."
What do the war drums say
When the regiments march away
Where the trampled fields of the world
are red
With the l~ife-rain over the green turf
And the dropped, torn flags enfold the
dead,
What do the wal drums say
Under the crimson bars,
Under the storm swept stars,
Far from the mothers and maids that
weep
In the love. of their country they sleep
they sleep!
And away! away! to the crimson fray,
And the boys will be back some day!'
So do the war drums say
Where the swords are keen to slay.
But what of the life-blood that falls like
dew?
1T has crimsoned the stripes of the flag
And given the stars to it's heaven of
So do the wal drums say.

should place IT. --mbrellas in suitable
places for others to steal them; and so on.
But no man can claim to be quite civil
lied who wears his own or anybody else's
umbrella under his arm menace to inno-
cent pedestrians.
The only known case wherein the law was
made to punish a man for the theft of an
umbrella came up before the recorder of the
police court of Sheffield, Colbert County,
Alabama, United States of America, in
April 1890. The circumstances were pc
culfar At that time there was in Sheffield
a newspaper worker who lent assistance to
some personal friends by writing editorials
for the old Sheffield Daily Enterprise-full
Associated Press dispatches and largest cir
eulation in the world The man owned an
umbrella which had put murder in his
heart by being burden to him all over
Europe and part of Africa, and which aft
erwards had a funeral fire of the biggest
block of business buildings in Montgom-
cry.
One night in Sheffield, after cheese
macaroni supper, the man went from his
hotel to the Enterprise Office through
torrential rain. He carried that precious
umbrella, and left 1t for a moment on the
stair-landing, just outside the door of the
editorial room. Returning to get it; he dis
covered that the umbrella had disappeared.
The fact was Immediately reported TO the
police; and within an hour or two the UNI
brella was again in its rightful owners
possession. The police had found it at
restaurant, where a tramp had pawned 1t
for thrty-hve-cent breakfast, saying that
he was going to work at the shoe factory
and would return to redeem his property,
the silver on which was worth perhaps
several dollars. The thief was identified at
the factory and arrested, and next day was
brought up for trial; the newspaper worker
having to get out of his bed at the I'M
earthly hour of 10 a m. to appear as wit
ress.
That umbrella theft was convicted and
sentenced to sixty days hard labor and
COSTS as the city records of Sheffield
will prove to this day!

occurred suddenly the past week at Fa-

ans who have been visitors to the Bank
head home there.
For thirty years Mr.. jenkins has been a
faithful steward for Congressman John H.
Bankhead, and the family held him in af-
fectionate esteem. A particularly sad feat
ure of the old mans death is the fact that
none of the family were at home. Colonel

Nobody cares how many men wear u1:.s

or how persistently they hold the shades
SO far in front as to leave backs unprotect-

humane persons are in duty bound to pro-
test against the eyebutchers who cary UNI

do not care how hideous they look, nor
do they care how many innocent pedes-
trians they MAIN or murder by means of
their COMPOUNDED lances wrapped in ciotk
on steel wires. But pedestrians do care: and
they demand of the lawmaking authority
a law which will protect them from MUIR
derous assault, malicious or otherwise, by

Such men ought to be sentenced to sixty
days in Sheriff Burgin's big rock Jail, with
out the option of fine.

A MATT II

If love were what the rose is,
And l were like the leaf,
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather,
Blown fields or Powerful closes,
Green pleasure or gray grief:
If love were what the rose Is
And 1 were like the leaf.
If l were what the words are,
And love were like the tune,
With double sound and single,
Delight our lipe would mingle
With kisses glad as birds are
That get sweet rain at noon:
If l were what the words are,
And love were like the tune.
If you were life, my darling,
And l, your love, were death,
We'd shine and show together
Ere March made sweet the weather
With daffodil and starting
And hours of fruitful breath;
If you were life, my darling,
And /, your love, were death.
If you were thrall to sorrow,
And I were page to joy.
Wed play for lives and seasons,
With loving looks and treasons,
And tears of night and morrow,
And laughs of maid and boy;
If you were thrall to sorrow,
And l were page to joy.
If you were Aprils lady
And l were lord in May,
We'd throw with leaves for hours
And draw for days with flowers
Till day like night were shady
And night were bright like day;
If you were ApriPs lady
And 1 were lord in May.
If you were queen of pleasure
And were king of pain.
We'd hunt down love together,
Pluck out his flying-feather
And teach his feet a measure,
And find his mouth a rein;
If you were queen of pleasure
And / were king of pain.
