Close his eyes; his work is done!
What 10 him is friend or toeman,
Rise OF moon or set of sun,
Hand of man or kiss OF woman?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? He cannot know;
Lay him low!
As man may, he fought his fight,
Proved his truth by his endeavor;
Let him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay rim low,
H. the clover or TIE snowl
What cares he7 He cannot know;
Lay him low!
Fold him in his country's stars.
Roll the drum and fire the Volley!
What TO him are all our wars.
What but death bemocking folly?
Lay him low. lay him low.

What cares he? He cannot know;
Lay him low!
Leave him to GODS watching eye;
Trust him to the hand that made him
Mortal love weeps Idly by;
God alone has power to aid him
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snowl
What cares he? He cannot know;

John Allen, of Tupelo, relates this
as dis first experience in battle dur
ing the civil war:
"A neighbor and were behind a
rail fence. All of a sudden he said
to me: What do l care about terri
torial rights? l am a heap more use
at home than l am here He started
to get out and go home when a Yankee
shell burst in front of him, tearing up
the ground.
John he says, what chance have
we got? There was enough stuff in
that shell TO kill 40 men and they just

so posted in IA tree that he could see
to the rear of our breastworks, made
a line shot to catch all of the three.
He aimed well, but not we'll enough
to carry out his purpose. However,
the shot cut the shoulder strap on
Col. Clancy's coat, cut the blouse Of
Capt. Sturgis at his belt, and tore a
hole in the trousers of Lieut.. Duff
near the ankle. Col. Clancy coolly
remarked that the fellow who fired
that shot was well up in his BUSH

Barnett's battery, company | of the
Second Illinois light artillery, upset
the plans of squad of confederate
sharpshooters. Off to our right
front was "A ravine extending to the
east in which were several large pine
trees, all in good rifle range of the
battery. A confederate sharpshooter
climbed one of the trees in order to
pick off some of the battery boys.
He had made a few good shots when
Capt. Barnett located him. sighted

shooter. That stopped all attempts

mean competitors. But these conditions
have materially changed the European
demand and European prices have de-
elined and the home demand upon our
own iron and steel works has greatly
increased while our prices have ad-
vanced; hence sharper competition IN
neutral and all foreign markets and IN
creased foreign competition in our own
markets.
The figures Of increased imports ana
decreased exports Of iron and steer
should not be hastily dismissed by our
iron and steel manufacturers. We hope
that they viii lead them instead to dis
miss the thought that the worlds mar
kets for iron and steel are to be easily
captured and held The activity in our
export trade iii iron and steel in the last
few years was exceptional and abnor-
nal. Not only is Europe adopting ou1
improved methods Of manufacture pu'
it will always have cheap labor, and BY
these agencies it can hold its own mar
