1.-THE Man Behind the Gun"
(By Fred 3. Warren.l

(By Fred B. Warren.)
Down in Cuban waters, when the Span
ish war begun,
Our sailors work was heavy, under
that terrific sun;
History dwells lightly on the work thar
was done,
But great praise Is due to the 'sman be-
hind the gun"
Though our guns sank their, feet, it Ia
very true,
To the imam behind the gun" greater
praise is due.
When the fight was over. and the battle
had been won,
1t was joyful time, to the man he-
hind the gun"
They captured Santiago, and threw
shells into the town,
For this the imam behind the gun" IL
to wear the crown.
Sitting In my quarters as down goes the
rosy sun,
dedicate this piece to the imam behind
the gum
Bravest of the brave, was the "man
behind the gum"
And it was by him that the Spanish
war was won.
Teach all your children, teach them ev.
cry one,
OF the heavy battles fought by the
imam behind the gun"

ONE OF THE VERY FINEST.

The Atlantic Coast Lines Florida Spe-
cial-Its Schedule will Be Faster
than Ever This Season.
Charleston News Courier, Jan. ID, 19O0
1t is now several years since the At
laptic Coast Line, working in connec-
ton with the Plant System began ope-
rating a special tourist train between
New York, Charleston and Florida, and
as the railroads, kept pace with i'm
proved methods and the fastidiOus trav-
eller the trains each year became more
complete and handsome, and the sched-
ules quicker. This year it seems as
though the high water mark must have
been very nearly reached, for it is hard
to imagine a more speedy trip than that
which will be offered south-bound pas
sengers on and after Tuesday, January
16, and also a more comfortable and
luxurious train is well nigh impossible
to plan. The train is composed entirely
Of Pullman cars, made for this particu-
lar service and vestibuled, so that pas
sengers pass freely from one car to
another, regardless Of the speed at
which they are travelling and unaffect-
ed by wind or weather. Each car is
model Of its kind, one dining car,
where the traveller partakes of his
meals at hours which suit his conven-
fence and where deft walters serve the
most tempting Of dishes, prepared while
flying along the steel roadway by a
competent chef. The end Of the train
is always occupied by the observation
carr so uniquely arranged as to give
q view almost unobstructed Of the see
merry along the line Of the road. A
drawing room car and a library and
smoking room are among the advanta-
ges of this movable hotel, for it is more
like first class hotel, with every
convenience and comfort, than anything
else. But the number Of guests is linn,
tied strictly to the number OF berth ac-
commodations in the magnihcently ap-
pointed "sleepers," and there is no fear
Of finding favorite window seat occti-
pied by match and tooth-pick" Gus
toner and always seat in the dining
room.
Then the speed of it! Leaving New
York at 1925 p. m. the special paus-
es but a moment at Philadelphia at 2:52
p. m, Baltimore is reached at sos
the same afternoon and Washington
reached at 500. Four hours later the
special" makes Richmond and at 7:45
the next morning arrives in Charleston,
eighteen hours and a few minutes after
the start. From Charleston the same
excellent speed is maintained to the
eeveral points on the Plant system In
Georgia and Florida. For the north
bound trip the schedule is also very
convenient and speedy. Travellers leav-
ing Charleston at 9:10 p. m. arrive in
Richmond at 7:15 in. the morning.
Washington is made at Hos a. M,
Baltimore 10 p. M, Philadelphia 2:30
p. M, and New York at sos p. m.
An important feature Of the tourist
special is that no extra charge is made
for travelling ON this train. The regu-
lar fare, with only ordinary Pullman
fare added, is charged and the passen-
ger list is limited strictly to the capac-
ity of the sleeping cars"
