But cool-headed Butler, he is the man
Who, never was beaten in leading the
van;
The campaign throughout he will thor
oughly plan,
And he'll surely get into Pretoria.
When Butler got orders, his Joy knew
no bound;
He says to himself, II know we'll the
ground,
The. valley and stream, the Kopje and
mound,
And on Christmas I'll dine in Pre-
toria.
Myself and my army are noted for
grit;
When the Beers know I'm coming.
they'll certainly quit;
So just on my way I'll relieve Lady,
smith,
Then march right along to Pretoria.
call things are now ready III be soon
on the way,
With bill of fare set down for every
day;
That's easy to figure, when I'll have no
delay
Till I've reached that town of Pre-
toria."
When near the Tugela, he viewed with
glass
The kopjes that rise near the ford
and the pass;
Twas then he discovered the Beers en-
To check that great march to Pre-
horia.
The battle began with those cannons
so fine,
To shell out the Beers, was Buffers
design,
AndI then cross the river, with his
whole line,
And hurry along to Pretoria.
But what OF those cannons? And what
of those men?
That at the famed crossing tried hard
to win?
They're taking rest and they'll never
again
Help Butler get into Pretoria.
And the Ladysmith garrison waits day
by day.
Will it be relieved? My answer is
nay.
And what do you think of Vice-Consul
Hay
Who may have to get out Of Pre-
toria?
When Briton is beaten, set this down
as rule,
He'll not blame himself, but his kins-
man, the mule,
Or treacherous guide, who made Of
him fool,
him fool,
And helped him keep away from Pre-
toria -
Paul Kruger, with sadness, oft says to
his mate,
IT am worried and troubled little Of
late;
/ feel sorry that Butler has not kept his
date
To Christmas with me in Pretoria"
Thea success to brave Joubert and
Cronje and Paul,
And every Boer fighting down in the
Transvaal;
May Butler be captured with Roberts
and all,
And then let them dine at Pre-
toria

LITERARY NOTES.

The name Of Thomas Cobb is not yet
identified in America with gay social
fiction; but from the complete novel
printed az the salient feature of the
"New Lippipcott" Magazine for Septem-
Der ISSUED August 21) it lie judged that
he is destined to become as enduring a
friend az "The Duchess or Mrs. Alex
ander. He has some OF the charm Of
these with fine masculine dash which
they lacked. HIS Lippincott novel is
called "The Dissemblers." 1t is about
q very pretty love affair in which for
obvious reasons the future lovers pre-
tended to be engaged, and the situations
thus developed are las good as play"
MIR. Cobb has had great vogue in Eng
land with brilliant novels like ''The Dis
semblers."

She eats 'em alive. Bosco the wild

ropes. She was living on poisonous rep

three of them to make her a square
meal. She prefers lizar6s-live lizards
for desert; and for change, she eats

Yes, she eats 'em alive. Step right in.
1t only costs you five cents to see her
eat 'em alive. Today she will eat raw

she'll eat him alive. She'll make a raw
dinner of him while he is coiling for ag-

Little is known of her history. Bosco

Are you sleeping, little brother,
In the room that once was mine,
Where the night winds sing in summer
K Haunting eeions Of the Rhines eye
Docs the aspen by the window
Whisper still Of high desire,
OF the tread Of Roman legions
And the purple pride Of Tyre?
On that little iron bedstead,
Where Pve lain so many a night,
Good for vanquished knights; or Caesar
When the Gauls are put to flight,
Are you sleeping, little brothers
Are you dreaming, little brother, Ol6 =
< Golden dreams that once were mine,
Glorious dreams Of kingdom-saeking
Where the tropie planets sinner
Do those dreams still dwell, wonder,
In that little attic room,
Do they steal and take you captive
To far lands Of Orient bloom?
Of the camps toward the sunset,
OF the warships on the Blue;
OF the Queens and Of the kingdoms
Waiting, somewhere Just for you
Are you dreaming, little brother?
Are you loving, little brother,
As another used to do,
Just the rose because it's crimson,
Just the sky beeeuse it's blue?
Does your heart near burst with loving
When you hear the larks at nom,
And you see the dew a-glisten
On the tassels Of the corn?
One who never took kingdom,
One whose knightly dreams are fled,
One whose coward lance has rusted
Since his heart was broke and bled,
Could you love him, little brother?
