Tho it speaks but one word,
How the heart-beats are stirr'd
When by that word silence is broken;
By Old comrades it's heard
Like note of song bird,
When by the old cannon it's spoken.
From its beiching brass throat
Thunders forth but one note.
And our flag TO the breeze is unfurl'd;
To fiaunt. futter, and float,
Clean, g.immer, and gloat
Ger the gun sounding peace to the world.
When "Old Sol'' puts to flight
The dread darkness of night,
The old cannon salutes the first ray
or the suns morning light
Halls with seeming delight
The old flag, the ''old yet,'' the new day.
The flag ceases to wave
When the old gun speaks brave
At sunset: A day nearer the sod
Is the life which He gave,
A day nearer the grave,
Old soldier-a day nearer God!

IT seems to be sadly true that the days
of the King of England are numbered.
The physicians bulletins have the hope
less sound of those that came from the
bedside Of Emperor Frederick, the King 5
brother-in-law, and the cause is the same:
a too rapid youth. He is now in his 61st
year. His father, Prince Albert, died at
42; his grandfather. the Duke of Kent, at
80; his great-uncle, George ", at 6S; and
another great-uncle, William ", at ~.
1t is unfortunate for him that his reign
should be so brief, and for the people of
Great Britain that they should so soon
be plunged into mourning again. But it
is the penalty that Nature exacts for the
violation of her laws.

THE BOOKER WASHINGTON DINNER.


The partisan aim of all this clamor
about Booker T. Washington's dining at
the White House is easy to see. even by
a moderately short-sighted man. 1t is to
break the effect of the recent appoint
mcnts of Gold Democrats in the South
to office, and solidify the South again on
the cry of Negro equality" As a mat
ter of fact, President Roosevelt's private
table in the White House is the same as
that of any other American gentleman,
and he has the same right to invite to it
any man he pleases. 1t was not a State
dinner, and an invitation to it had no po-
litical significance whatever. Equally as
a matter of fact Booker Washington is an
eminent American citizen, who is doing a
great work, which we all. except Tillman
and his gang of irreconcilables, eminently
approve, and his presence is an honor in
any gathering. 1t has been pointed out
that Thomas Jefferson had Benjamin
Banneker, the negro mathematician, oc-
occasionally dine with him at the White
House, and did all that he could to spread
his fame abroad. But the Southern pa
pers go into commissions as if the founda-
tions of the Government were being torn
