THE DRUMME Err,

A blood-rcd bnttle sunset stains
The lurd winter sky;
What spirit stirs within orr veins
And lifts our hearts so high?
Gives youth no peace, gives age no sleep,
For listening to the roll
or the smi,ten parchment sounding deep
dts tocsin TO the soul:
its rolling, rhythmic, rude alarum to the
listening soul:
For yester noon the folk that rid
Their thresholds from the snow
Saw through the still streets ermine hid
The dwarlsh drummer go
A war worn ancient, travel-stained,
Beating Il weird tattoo.
Whose cunning lit its hearers chained
And caught them ere they knew:
Rataplau!
That straight they spranS from shop and
stall, and followed ere they knew.
Fer hero the blear-eyed smith forsook
His forge fire Just allame,
And from his leathern apron shook
The cinder- us he came.
He left his blinking anvil dumb
On holster business bound,
Shril treble to the booming drum
His mighty blows resound:
Ratapun!
The cl2shing. changing music OF his mighty
blows resound,
And there unwonted ardor lit
The traders wrukled face,
TIL wondering nclghbors saw him quit
The crowded market place:
Tho tinkle of the gathered pence
Forgotten. rs he heard.
Athwurt the rrnding veil of sense,
The tambour's master word
Ratapan!
In sudden, stern stGccato tho drums i'm
perious word.
Ire the slow priest his blessing said
Tho bridegroom left the bride.
The mourner left tho cherished dead
His love had watched beside.
Pressed close and fast through lane and
street
The ever thickcning throns:
All stepping to tho measured beat
That marshaled them along:
Entaplan!
The teasing, tripping measure that led
their lines along.
Red sunset shot with sanguine stains:
A sword across tho sky;
What sacred fever swelIS orr veins
And lifts our hearts so high?
Gives youth no peace. gives ago no rest
That hears the throbbing roll
That knocks so hard against the breast
And shakes tho hidden soul:
Ratnplan!
That strikes the heart within tho breast,
and wakes the scepinc soul?

Torpedo Boat Destroyers,

The demands upon the officers and
men of the torpedo boat destroyer are
enormous. Comfort as it is under.
stood in big ship is quite unknown.
Even in what is known as moderate
weather cooking is almost an impossi-
bility, though this is less to be re-
GREETED, for the dura lila of the most
Injured seafarer often given way, and
he feels certain distaste for food
when, besides the extremely lively.
motion given by the waves, the whole
structure vibrates and trembles under
the strokes of the engines and the
kick of the propellers. The duties
which torpedo boat destroyers would
be called upon to undertake in war
time are desperate in their risks.
The little ships are the enfants per-
dus of the feet. Even if they can
carry their dread assault to success
full issue, it will only be by the
greatest chance that they themselves
escape destruction. The torpedo boat
destroyer officers look coolly upon
death as their more than probable
fate in action, but each thinks that
everythiDg-himself, his ship and
crew-will be we'll lost if he can only
plant one deadly stroke which sends
a battleship to the bottom. 1t is q
comparison between a few thousand
pounds worth of structure, its arma-
ment, and crew Of less than fit all
told. against floating castle which
represents more than O MILL N of
money and carries 700 or 800 of an
enemy's seamen. -Blackwood.

SCARED TO DEATH.
How IL Sixth Infantry soldier Died al
Santiago.

How Sixth Infantry soldier Died at
Santiago.
'Do you see that name. William S.
Sims, on the tablet up there?" said an
officer OF the Sixth Infantry, to Il re-
Porter for the Cincinnati Enquirer,
pointing to the Sixth infantry tablet ON
the face of the water tower at L Ort
Thomas. "Weii, want to tell you
something very queer concerning the
death of this man at Santiago
'"Sims had gone through the fight
on the first of July, through all the
firing while we were in the trenches
up to the night of the 9th, when he
was on outpost duty. The outpost OF
each company consisted OF an officer,
non commissioned officer and three
men. This detail was posted outside
the trenches toward the enemy to pre-
vent party sneaking up on the
about fifty yards in front of the rest
of the party, that lay down. one man
being on the alert to listen to the low
call OF the sentinel if lie heard any
one coming toward him. Well, about
1870 o'clock that night two shots
rang out in rapid succession, and all
was excitement in moment, as there
had been no firing since early in the
afternoon, and all but few were
asleep, worn out with the strain of the
past eight days.
Running up to that part of the
firing line whence the shots were heard
I saw several men handing down over
the top of an embankment the body
of man. The doctor was with me.
and he asked where the man was shot.
The lieutenant who was in command
of the outpost said, He is not wound
ed, but he is dead, just the same, and
so it proved. The doctor made care
full examination. aided by the bright
starlight, and not wound was to be
found on the man. but his heart was
still in death.
"What was the matter? Heart dis.
ease. 1t shut off like lightning, and
Sims never knew what killed him.
The men OF the party say they were
all lying down asleep except one man.
II e says when the sentinel fired his
shot at supposed Spanard approach
ing all the sleeping party sprang up
at once except Sims, who sat up and
then Immediately lay back again. The
party rushed to tho support OF the
sentinel, and on their return found
Sims, as they supposed, asleep again,
and on shaking him found him not
asleep but dead. The doctor said no
doubt the man had been on such q
strain for the past few days that his
weak heart simply stopped when he
was awakened with such start, and
he fell back dead man, to await the
sounding of Gabriele's reveiIle, for
he had heard the last on the trumpets

Lifc of the Men Who Formerly "Freight.
ed II" OH the Plains.
The ambition of every true bull.
whacker in the old days on the plains
was some day to be a wagon master
of a freight train. The wagon master
was the boss of everything in the
train. His employers gave him full
control of the train and its freight.
He gave orders with an imperial will,
and when he shot and killed man
who was wilful or refused to accept
his authority there was no one to call
him to account. Many times wagon
master was entrusted with the Grams.
portation of $4,000, ever $50, 200
worth of freight over 1000 miles of
trail through hostile Indian coun-
try, where no whites had passed for
weeks and where no law was known.
The wagon master kept close watch
over the men on the wagons. He
knew what bullwhackers knew how to
work the oxen, and what bullwhackers
were lazy. He examined the wagons
several times day; he had loads
shifted from weak to strong wagons;
he knew where water could be had
and where each camp was to be made;
he reckoned how long food would last
and what spots in the long route
would be the most likely ones for at
tacks by savages. For this service lie
got S125 q month.
Another man next in authority to
the wagon master was the herder, who
sometimes acted as deputy wagon
master. In the day time the herder
rested in wagon under the canvas
top. The moment camp was reached
his work began. He bossed the men
about feeding tie oxen, getting the
mess of tiapjacks, coffee and bacon,
and occasionally some elk, bear or
buffalo meat. Then while the men
slept he kept watch of the camp, lest
the oxen might stampede in fright OF
some Indians draw near. When day
light came he called: "Roll cut, roll
out, roll out" to the men. Then
when he had eaten his morning flap
jacks and drunk his coffee lie would
go to bed in the wagon. Large vol,
umes might be filled with stories con.

day in June, 1866, when freight

disc was expected that way. In the
battle that was waged between the
bullwhackers and bandits eleven OF
the former and four bandits were
killed. New York Sun.

killed 300, frozen up 3OO) and have
500 ON hand.
In the time we held the fowls they
were fed 5000 bushels sliced pump
kins, 500 bushels sliced bcets, over
900 tons cracked corn and probably
800 bushels shelled corn The pump
kins, beets and cracked corn were
boile and the corn fed dry. The
geese when bought would average 60
to 50 pounds per dozen; when killed,
125 to 140 pounds. Our geese and
ducks were all in an enclosure. Two
men fed them during the day, one at
night. When it rained during the
day and turned cold and freezing at
night, another man was put on to
keep them constantly moving, other
wise they would have frozen to the

The Zulu boy-servants a"e much

difficulties with the English language.
Their special weakness is the confu-

fast is ready" they announce, to the

full boy was always very careful as to
whom he admitted into the house.
One day three visitors called, one of
whom had come without card. He
ushered the first two INTO the draw
ing-room, but insisted on the other
staying in the hall. 'rwo misses"
he explained, 'got ticket; you got no

Artificial or manufactured oysters
are now being sold in Paris, where the
real bivalve is very expensive. The
only genuine thing about the manu-
featured oysters is the shell, which is
purchased second hand by the makers
at small cost. The spurious oyster is
fastened on with a tasteless paste, and
is sold on the half shell. Those who
have INDUCED in these counterfeit BIZ
valves say that when lemon juice or
vinegar has been added they cannot
be told from the real article. The Sc
cret of their manufacture has not yet
been disclosed, but the ingredients OF
which they are made are said to be
