THE SOLDIERS LIFE.


Only to stand In the red OF the fray,
Only to battle for glory, you say;
Only to leap to the bright song of death.
Murm'ring, ''My country!' with fast fleeing
breath;
This is the life Of the soldier, you dream.
Wreathed with the flag in the battles red CLEAN!
Night on the road, and the mud to his hips!
Visions Of little ones leaning with lips
Just to be kissed through the dream and desire
Sweetheart and home hearts and love by the fire
This is the life of a soldier, to fare
Far from the tenderness waiting him there.
Mourn on the. march and the war drums ahead.
Beating the call to the battle, the tread
OF legions gone down in the ranks in the van.
On to the front, file by file, man by man!
Soldier, so valiant, so brave and 50 true,
Honor and glory to yours and to you!
Noon on the field and the battles fcrce heat
Planned to the faces unfaltered that meet
Death in the fash Of the shot and the shell,
The crash OF the cannon, the red, roaring hell;
Still meath the folds Of the flag doth he fight.
True to his country and true to the right!
Night on the hills, and. oh, the wide eyes
Under the shadow and grief Of the skies!
Night in the hamlets where broken hearts wait
In vain for the heroes that fought against fate!
This is the life of the soldier-some time
A wreath for a tribute. a rose and a rhyme!

Curious Advertisements OF the willy

Curious Advertisements of the willy
Oriental.
A noticeable feature of the China
newspapers is the "exuberant verbosi.
ty" Of their advertisements.
This is due to cheap advertising
rates, as well as to the fowery Ian.
guage Of the Kingdom. All sorts Of
communications get into the news
papers, but the business system of
Chinese editors is so admirable that
instead Of airing private and public
grievances in 'letters to the editor"
they are inserted in the advertising
columns, and thus help the editor to
get an honest living.
An announcement inserted by a jilt-
ed swain whose lady love eloped with
Chou Ling closes with these heartfelt
words
Il cannot control my wrath and bit
teness. My loved one has, It is plain,
been enticed away by this rascals de-
ceit. How, l wonder, can mere
tailor's dummy like this succeed in
winning her?
Surely he has no law or justice be.

that 1 am advertising. Should any
kind-hearted gentlemen give me infor-
nation of her whereabouts by letter,
will reward him with $40; should he
bring her back to her parents, l will
joyfully give him $40. l will most GER
tainly not eat my words. His kind
ness and benevolence for a myriad
generations, to all eternity, shall not

Quacks in China advertise in beautl-

from physician Of the Ming Dynasty.
A certain Mandarin was iourneying in

A watch Not 1y.nrInr Annnrol.

Judge Lowell held recently, in the
United States District Court at Boston,
that a watch was not an article OF wear
ing apparel, and therefore was not ex-
empt from the provisions of the
bankruptcy law vesting the bankrupts
property in his trustee. The bankrupt
claimed that the watch was exempted
from the law by virtue OF the Massachu-
setts statute exempting from execution
the necessary wearing apparel and
the tools implements, and fixtures
necessary for the carrying on of a trade
or business because by the bankruptcy
law the bankrupt was allowed the
exemptions prescribed by State laws.
