Flag Of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign Of hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on;
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where thy skyborn glories burn,
And, rs his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance,
And when the cannon -mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud,
And CORY sabers rise and fall,
Like shoots of fame on midnight's pail,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Of death.
Flag Of the seas! on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter Ger the brave;
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph o'er his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope ana home,
By angel hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
For ever float that standard sheet!
Where, breathes the foe but falls before usi
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet
And Freedoms banner streaming DER us'

On BOARD "wERRA,"
July s. 1900.
DEAR MoTHER-Monday, July
2nd, we landed in Gibraltar, and en-
ioyed a delightful ride over the
town. First we were taken TO
Glover garden" which resembled
somewhat our parks. From there
we went to the English Notifications
and of course we had TO talk to
some of the English soldiers, and in
that way we got one Of their but
tons. No doubt you know Gibral-
tar is great large rock that OK
tends out into the ocean. Built in
one side of this rock are the En-
glish Notifications. The English
call them "galleys." Altogether
there are four fgalleys," and when
you reach the top one you are way
up on the top of this immense rock.
The "galleys" are all alike. In the
first "galley" they have one cannon
in the hole in the wall, in the Sec
ond the cannon are closer together,
and in the third they have two can
non in one hole. These cannon are
arranged so that from these "gal-
legs" the English can fire right out
at sea, and in fact any point on
land they desire.
Our carriage full of girls went to
see the Governor an1 had a long
talk with him. We also went to
little fisher village (Spanish.) All
of US girls were nearly crazy TO see
bull fight, but as Miss Mason did
not think we had time, she would
not take us; neither would she take
us to little Spanish town outside
of Gibraltar, where there was fair
going on, because she thought we
would be too late for the steamer.
Yesterday, the 4th, the ocean was
real rough, and you cannot imagine
the people that were sick-even
those that had gotten well were
sick again. Two in our party were
real sick. just felt little bad
but was not sick.
Last night the Captain gave
dinner, and you can be assured it
was the best dinner we have had on
this steamer. Every dish had pa
triotic name, for instance, "George
Washington turkey" 'national ice
cream" etc.
Tuesday, the Captain took all of
us girls through the ship aud ex-
planned everything. lie even made
a special sounding for our benefit 10
find the depth of the ocean, which
was 36l feet.
This afternoon about seven O'Clock
we land in Naples.

MANILA TO BEAT HONG KONG
Likely to Be the Imperial City OF
the Pacific.

Likely to Be the Imperial City Of
the Pacific.
Ainslee's Magazine: "The moment
we decided to annex the Philippines
we felt surprised that there had been
any hesitation. We saw that our new
expansion was in all respects the most
important in our history.
Not only are there magnificent op-
portunities in the Philippines for
American civilization. commerce and
industry, but there is the dazzling
possibility Of making Manila the CEN
ter of the western Pacific trade. Ma
Mia, adjacent to population of $780,
100000 people, should, before many
years surpass Hong Kong, to which
Great Britain owes such large part
of her Chinese commerce.
The chief distributing centers of
China, Japan, Korea, Siam, AMMAN
and East Indies are as near to Manila
as Havana is to New York; and the
distributing centers of British India
and Australasia are nearer to Manila
than to any other great emporium.
At present we furnish only one
twentieth of the billion dollars worth
CT gooGs that the countries within
easy commercial range of Manila pur-
chase yearly. Yet the larger part of
these imports is made up of goods
that we can supply at lower price
than any other country-tools and
machinery, cotton and cotton prod.

TREE TRUNK FOR SPlRE.
On int Church in Washington--Was
Built in Less Than n Week.

New York Tribune: At Tacoma,
Wash. is peculiar church spre. 1t is
a Douglas fir tree stump. The church,
Il small, primitive structure, was built
in the midst Of a rough lumber camp
in the '70s by the side Of the tree, so
that the latter might be used for II
stecple. Bishop Morris, who is still
bishop of Oregon built it.
The church was built in less than a
week, but the stceple had been grow
ing for over 500 years. The stump is
over seven feet in diameter at the
height of the fence. On its top is the
church bell, surmounted by little
Roof and cross. The belfry is reached
by curious ladder formed by Stats
ON board leaning from the roof to
the tree trunk. Over the tree grows a
beautiful English ivy. The ivy has
found its way into the church through
Il crack in the simple chapel. There it
grows, beautiful decoration for the
interior Of the house. 1t is green even
AT this season.

Partly Correct.

Ohio State journal: Most of the
stores in the remote business sections
Of the city are constantly annoyed by
children of the neighborhood coming
to the door and asking for cards,
empty boxes and similar articles. The
clerks are, of course, down on the
youngsters, and the warfare never
ends. The other day Il small boy poked
his head in the door of West Side
store and called out:
SAY, mister, got any empty boxes?''
NO." said the clerk, not very po-
litely.
"Got any cards?"
NO"
SCOT any almanacs?"
NO"
"Got any empty bottles?"
"No"
"Got any sense?"
-yes-no-yes-you miserable
little wretch" and the clerk flew at his
tormentor, but the latter had fed.

Two Acres Raised rirteen Feet.


San Francisco Chronicle: A remarka-
bio phenomenon occurred on Pescadero
creek at II o'clock few nights ago,
when nearly tive acres of ground, covered
section Of the creek, raised up bodily
from ten to fifteen feet above the sur
rounding surface. The upheaval was ac-
'companied by heavy rumbling sound
and was supposed to be that of an earth
quake. A long section of the wagon road
was elevated in the air and destroyed.
Ghe elevatja's of a portion of the creek
bottom changed the course OF the stream
which has caused wide channel around
the upraised ground Much of the tim
ber was prostrated while all that was
left standing is leaning heavily toward
higher ground. Many dead fish were
found.
AS there are oil indications I'm the vicin-
ity, II is supposed the upheaval was
caused by an explosion of gas in the
depths where petroleum finds its source
Those who have examined the ground
declare IL is not landslide.
