Oh, don t you remember sweet Alice

Sweet Alice, whose hair was 81

And trembled with fear at you,

In the old churchyard in the valley,
Ben Bolt.
In corner obscure and alone,
They have fitted slab of the granite

And sweet Alice lies under the stone.
Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt,
| Which stood at the foot of the hill,
Together we've lain in the MONDAY s

And listened to Appleton mill.
The mill wheel has fallen to pieces,
Ben Bolt,
The rafters have tumbled in.
And a quiet that crawls round the
walls as you gaze
Has followed the Olden din.
And don't you remember the scnool'
Ben Bolt,
With the master so cruel and grim,
And the shaded nook in the running
brook,
Where the children went to swim?
Grass grows on the masters grave,
Ben Bolt;
The spring of the brook is dry,
And of all the boys who were school
mates then
There are only you and l.
There is change in the things loved,
Ben Bolt;
They have changed from the old to the

But l feel IN the depths of my spirit

There never was change in you.
Twelve months, twenty, have passed,

why Only One Shot Was Required in the
Attack on Rebel Outpost.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At the
time Sumpter was fired on l was an inden-
tured apprentice and had about IA months
to serve My boss, who by the way was
Quaker, charged me $50 for the balance
of my time. | pahl it, and on April 29,
1861, | enrolled in Co. A, Sd n. ]. l was

Army of the Potomac fell back in defense
of Washington and formed line of works

Bridge
The Sd n. j., had to do picket duty on
the Fairfax road above Clouds Mill Our
reserve was at a blacksmith shop. The john
nies occupied Munson's Hill, about a mile
from our reserve; our outposts were about
200 yards apart.
One fine morning Co. A was detailed for
picket duty, and as | was drummer of the
company had to go along. We generally
were out about three days at time. The
next morning, after the outpost had been
relieved, our Captain came up and wanted
10good men to surprise the rebel outpost. I
asked him if | could go as one, and lie said
| could if l would get a gun and equip
ments, so | was soon in line with the rest
of the squad. We then marched up to our
outpost, which was on the road TO Man
sons Hill, halted and received orders from
the Captain, then proceeded on in single
file up to the angle of the road, about mid
way between our outpost and the Johnnies.
There is sharp angle in the road, so that
anyone could get up to the angle before
they could see down the road. The COM
rade selected to take the right Of the line

was located. | was the second man in
line. We marched up to the angle very
quietly, and the man on the right stepped

firing. They were in line across the road

man, and the shock was so great to the
center man that it knocked him down.
Now comrades, don't rise up, all of you,
and say that this is fabrication, as we are

THE GOLDEN POPPY.
Dazzling, Blazing blossoms That
Greeted the California Pioneers.

Dazzling, Blazing Blossoms That
Greeted the California Pioneers.
Far out at sea cleaning sheets of
dazzling gold arrested the gaze of the
early explorers of California. Blazing
along the Pacific coast, embroidering
the green foothills of the snow capped
Sierra Madres, transforming acres and
acres of treeless plains into royal cloth
OF gold. millions of flowers of silky tex
ture and color of gold fascinated the
Spanish discoverers. An eminent bot
anist, Eschscholtz, at once classified
the plant, and his followers conferred
his name upon this the only native
American papaver.
Dreamlike in beauty, fascinating from
sheer loveliness, spreading in soft TN
dulations over the land, the California
poppy bloomed above the richest views
and arteries of gold the world has ever
known, ali unsupported. A Circe, with
powers to please, dazzle and charm by
its enchantments, while it allures, lulls
and mystifes, this flower of sleep SEEM
ed to draw by some occult process from
the earth the elixir of gold unfolding
its blooms of gold as beacons proclaim
ing. I'VE are blooming above rich mines
of gold.''
There is ever a mystery about the
poppy 1t is a weird flower. tt is al
most sentienS, with life unknown to
human kind. "While glory guards with
solemn tread the bivouac of the dead'
stealthily a sea of gore creeps over the
old battlefelds. Blood red. the poppies
in waves aid pillows hold high carni-
val above the soil that covers the slain.
Lord Macaulay says Of the battlefield
of Neerwinden: THE summer after the
battle the soil, fertilized by 10000 dead,
broke forth into millions of blood red
poppies. The traveller from st. Troud
to Tirlemont who saw that vast field
of rich scarlet stretching from Larden
to Neerwinden could hardly help far
cying that the figurative description OF
the Hebrew prophet was literally ac-
complished; that "the earth was dis
closing her blood and refusing to cover
her slain." Bayard Taylor in "The
Lands of the Saracen" says he contem-
plated with feelings he could not de-
scribe ''the old battlefelds of Syria,
densely covered with blood red pop
pies, blooming in barbarie splendor,
gloating on the gore of soldiers slain.a
However interesting the poppy may
be to men of science and to lovers OF
the beautiful, it is yet more so to the
people of California This beautiful,
weird, gold colored flower of gossamer
texture belongs to California alone.
Nowhere else in the world has it ever
made its habitat. There it is naturally
so profuse that it is related as fact
that. coming on turn full face upon
blooming field of yellow poppies, daz-
zling in the sunshine, horses have been
put TO fight as from flames of fire.

Foods and Appetite.

In some good advice given in print by
a physician the theory held by faddists
in special foods. warranted to perform
marvels of health and restoration, is
exploded. Don't" says this writer,
Imagine that you can grow strong on
foods that you dislike. Better fried
ham and chocolate cake with a good
appetite than health cereal with milk
and disgust
One would hesitate. perhaps. to fol-
low strictly the fried ham and choco-
late cake dictum to the letter, but it is
undoubtedly true that at the moment
many persons almost starve themselves
because they have no appetite for the
various so called health foods, which
alone they fancy they can eat Above
and beyond the choice of food is mod
Grafton in partaking of it and relish for
what is eaten.-New York Post.

Representative washington.


Discussing the differences between
Washington and other American cities
in an article on ''The Capital Of Our
Democracy" in The Century, Henry
Loomis Nelson says:
eff Washington is not like the typ
ical American city, how. then, can it
be the city of America, the one city
above all others in the land where the
stranger can most satisfactorily study
national traits? If it's people are not
bubbling over with boiling energy; if
it is not shaken with the national fever
and ague, one day burning with the
heat Of boom and another day shak-
ing with the chill of a panic; if most
of its men are not struggling for mon
ey all day and rushing home to Slip
pers and rest at evening; if the wives
and daughters of many Of the more
successful of these hunters for wealth
are not vain seekers after social dis
tinction; If the idle American nobility
is not dominating in it's society, as it
is in our other American cities, why is
life in Washington enthusiastically
American? Because it is all America
on an even footing and all America in
repose. with time to be idle. 1t is
America not engaged in making it's liv-
ing or its fortune"

payne,s Verse and the Rejoinder.

Payne's Verse and the RejOinder.
There are many anecdotes and rem
iniscences of the author of Home,
Sweet Home" but perhaps nothing
better than the following, says the
Philadelphia Times. In 1886 Payne
spent some time in the south and form
ed the acquaintance of a daughter Of
Judge Samuel Goode of Montgomery.
The woman, like others of her sex
about that time, kept an album" to
which her friends were. of course, ask
ed to contribute. Payne was applied
to, and this is what he wrote:
Lady, your name, If understood,
Explains your nature to letter;
And may you never change from Goode
Unless If possible to better.
The man who was asked to fill the
opposite page happened to be Mira
beau of Lamar, afterward president Of
the Lone Star Republic of Texas. And
this was his response:
/ am content with being Goode,
To aim at better would be vain;
But If 1 do it's understood,
Whateer the cause, it is not Payne

An Old Idea.

Macaulay was not the first man to
frame the famous image of the man of
a new civilization standing amid the
ruins of that which we know today.
Long before he wrote of his traveller
from New Zealand meditating upon
London bridge Mrs. Barbauld had used
the same image, with the difference
that she applied it to Blackfriars
bridge. An earlier reviewer had used
it in an article published in 1867, we
are told by an English commentator,
and Horace Walpole says in one of his
letters, "At last some curious traveller
from Lima will visit England and give
a description of the ruins of st. Paul's.

Gently visiting Maine fell into conver-
sation with quiet old farmer on a
train. He was full of the greatness of
the west and talked about the big
farms and big crops Of his particular
section and wound up by saying, II
suppose you do manage to pick up a
living on these little Maine farms"
The old Maine farmer smiled sadly
and replied: Yes. and few years ago
some of us invested money in your Sec

The Princess Susette was shrieking

The Princess Susette was shrieking
with delight over her first mud pie.
The nurse grabbed the lines from the
groom and urged the pony forward by
jerking the lines backward after the
manner of women. The sentry's horse
moved majestically out from the gate
post and blocked the way.
sect out of the way!" ordered the
nurse furiously.
"You cannot passw said the sentry
coldly.
II want the Princess Susettew cried
the nurse wildly.
She jerked the pony's head and tried
to turn by the sentry, but great
gauntlet caught the pony's bride and
held it in wise. The pony, bewildered
by the whip behind, began to plunge,
and the groom had to run to his head.
The distracted nurse scrambled from
the cart and ran with flying skirts to-
ward the gate, but the gray troop
horse felt the dig of sharp spurs and
plunged desperately out to head her
off. Crowded into corner by the pal
ace gate. the nurse called to the groom
to drive on and get the Princess Su-
sette.
The troop horse wheeled, and the
sentry whipped out a cleaning pistol
from his saddle holster.
."Halt!' he thundered, and the order
rang in the ears Of the groom like
pistol shot. The pistol looked big and
black, and the gaunt soldier by the gate
with his bearslxin huzzar cap and the
scarlet dolman over his shoulder was
terrible to look upon.
The groom skunk back, and the nurse
wept in despair.
=
1t was the best time the Princess
Susette ever had in her whole life.
When she came back, the hair had
struggled down into her highness' face
and there was a smudge of blue black
mud across the tip of her highness'
little snub nose. Her highness' stock
ings, wet as a dishrag, were slung
around her highness' neck in lovely
way that the lodgekeeper's children
had shown her. The princess carried
one shoe in her hand; the other had
fioated off down the stream after
tempestuous career as an ocean liner,
plying across the creek and carrying
pebbles. The princess sniffied with
cold in her head, but the heart Of the
princess was glad.
The nurse, on the verge of Mysteries,
waited on the other side of the sentry
line. like a football player ready to
tackle.
But the Princess Susette turned back
to the sentry.
''Mr. Soldier" she said.
The sentry was staring fixedly at the
gatepost.
"Mr. Soldier" she said, tugging at
his boot, "NIr. Soldier, fink 1 would
like to kiss you"
The sentry looked down out of the
corner of his eye at the sweet little
flushed face. The sentry sheathed his
drawn saber with clang. The sentry
reached down his two big gauntlets to
the Princess Susette.
The nurse and the groom were horri-
fed at the spectacle.
