A Song of War.

Wars and rumors of wars,
And slaughter the men like cattlei
A little of glory, but more of gain,
So away, away to the battlei
Away, till the rivers shall all run red
With the blood-the blood Of the nations shed !
Wars and rumors of wars;
Swords CLEAN and the rifles rattleI
And what their lives to the weeping wives
Who sigh for the slain in battleY
Away, away to the battle brave,
And earth to the soldier giyes-a gravel
Wars and ruTnors of wars
Till the fancied wrongs righted,
And bitter tears through the lonely years
In homes by the red wars blighted.
Away, away to the frenzied fight
Till the bugles sound the last "Good night

Ny teacher doesn't think read
So very special we'll;
She's always saying, ''What was that
Last word?' and makes me spell -
And then pronounce it after her
As slow slow can be.
s'You'd better take little care
That's what she says to me
cor else I'm really 'fIaid you'll find
Some one of those bright days,
You're away behind your primer class"
That's what my teacher says.
But when I'm at my grandpa's house
He hands out a book
And lets me choose a piece to read,
And then he'll sit and look
At and listen, just pleasedi
I know it from his face,
And when read great, long word,
He'll say: "Why, little Grace,
You'll have to teach deestriot school
Some of these bright daysi

The Pencils Genealogy.
A very blunt pencil was resting one day
Beneath desks lid where some white paper lay;
How it managed to write I never could learn,
But these were the words you might clearly dis
''While I've still point few lines to indite,

Why nicknamed Lead Pencil I'm 1 can't
tell,
For leads too heavy and dull to write well.
''That we're old family maybe you know,
And many quite famous connections can show;
Our rich Coal relations inherited ground
Where ages ago lofty forests were found.
s'Grandfather Fern owned a very large farm
And there thought his children might live safe
from harm;
But one day a river swept in like a
And drowned every branch of the family tree.
'In the underground tomb where grandfather lies
Rest many united by family ties;
The Peat and the Anthracite people bound,
And sometimes a diamond cousin is found.
''They died and were buried long time ago,
But graves have been opened their treasures to

And in the ground where the Ferns at

We were found wearing also the family crest

With the Leads never remotely allied,

Life md Death,

Life and Death.
To live tor the good of others,
To grope in life's dismal halls,
To help our sisters and brothers,
To comfort the one that falls,
To travel the broad and natural path,
To gratefully forgive,
To live for all of the human race
Thus it is to live.
10 die in the twilight Of happy thoughts,
To die rs the autumn dies,
To fade from the glitter of human life
As the sunlight fades IN the skies;
10 know that the world is better,
To have uttered the human cry,
And to know in the night that the cry was
heard
Thus 1t is to die.

POOR PORTO RICANS.

Many Are Starving and Demand Work
 Which Is Furnished.
 Correspondence of The Associated Press
 San Juan, P. R., Aug. 16.-More than one hundred laboring men of San Lorenzo, ac companied by their wives and children reached this city at s o'clock on the morn ing of August 13 after weary journey or foot of twenty-sevep miles, all for the pur pose of seeking work.
 With the flag of the United States flying at their head the laborers marched in all orderly manner to the executive mansion in Fort Eleysa street and halted. Two of their number, already selected, entered the exec utive mansion and asked for an audience with acting governor Hunt which was req dily granted. They explained that the ob- ject of their visit was to ask the govern ment to open the road between Caguas and San Lorenzo Ia ten miles stretchl in order that the laboring people might be given an opportunity to earn d living. At the time they said there was no work of any kind to be had and the people dependent upon their daily labor for bread were suffering in consequence.
 Acting Governor Hunt assured the spokes- men that he was in hearty sympathy with the laboring people deprived of work and that the government would do all in its power to provide them with an opportunity to earn living. The delegation then re- tired, seemingly well pleased with the re- suit of their interview.
 Governor Hunt gave orders to begin on the road connecting these places at once. and informed the mayor of San Lorenzo by letter that all laborers applying to the con tractor would be given work. Later in the day, picks, shoyels and other necessary tools for the work were sent out.
 The laborers sald they did not wish to be fed gratis by the government, but desired an opportunity to work and would return to their homes as soon as possible and re- port to the contractor.
 That no more delegations have appeared is very probably due to the acting govern. or's handling of the delegation of the 13th Tn, inn ip a m with work. These people had been living n year in idleness, depending on the relief supplies of the United States which were discontinued few weeks ago. Now, they must either work or starve, and they were probably not entirely delighted that work was offered them so readily.
 People in the United States have little idea of the extent of the anti American feeling which exists here among certain classes. At the time of General Miles landing two years ago last month the press reports told of the open-arm reception of the troops by the people. It Amer icano, mucho bueno,' then. Those who came with the troops knew that it was Americana, mucho buenO, give me five cents" It is now much the same thing though only instead of "Giye me five cents'' 1t is "Give me government job, with bankers hours"

They were obliged to use three pitchers and two catchers, while the home team played Mack and Wilson throughout. The players from Brooklyn announced themselves as astonished at the quality of ball put up by their opponents. There were 2oo0 people Ut the game.
