The Last Fight.

IRIS. LAURA Z. RICHARDS, GARr1NER,
en. Philip h. Sheridan died Aug. s, 1888 y
What child In all the land 4
Knows not the story,
or how Phil Sheridan
Rode into glory?
Poets have told the tale,
With hearts high swelling,
Yet once again. my boys,
Hark to the telling.
Yonder at Cedar Greek,
Down In the valley.
Wavered broken troop,
Hopeless to rally.
Long they fought End well,
The field defending,
But the blue lines were now
Breaking and bending.
Breaking 10 sullen flight,
Der road and meadow,
Skulking where cOpscs raieed
Shelter and shadow.
While the gray victors pressed
Eagerly onward,
Sabres and bayonets
Glittering sunward.
Sudden sound was heard
Far down the broad way,
White stretched the roadway.
Faint in the distance, yet
Evermore nearing,
Hark! Did you hear It?
A sound as of cheering.
Sharp cracked the muskets,
With ominous rattle.
Lond rOared the cannon,
The thunder of battle.
But through the rush and roar,
Through smoke and fire,
Ever the cheering rose
Higher and higher.
What is It? Who is it?
Rebels behind US?
Nay, stand we firm at lasti
Here let them lind us!
Hark! but Cry rings out,
The clouds dividing.
Sheridan! Sheridan!
Here he comes ridingl
Down the white roadway
A rider comes flashing.
In mid the broken troops
Comes the steed dashing.
o! The proud charger,
With Phil to bestride him
Sheridan! Sheridan!
Back, boys, beside him!
Look, now! with sabre flash
Overhead waving,
Down through the column
He rides to the saving.
Courage, my Yankee noys!
No standing still now!
Courage Wen whip them vet,
Ay, and we will, though"
Who thinks of flying more!
Face to the foe, now!
Close up the ranks, boys!
Forward we go now.
Turn then and drive them back
By hill and hollow.
Sheridan! sheridan!
Lead and we'll follow!
Onward the line Of blue
Swe, through the meadow,
AZ a blue stormcloud sweeps
Backening the shadow,
And like the b nding grass
The storm wind meeting,
Backward the line of gray
Waivers rctreating.
Oh! and our gallant chief
Riding before US!
Oh! and our starry flag
Fluttering DER us!
What child In all the land
Knows not the story?
So did Phil Sheridan
Ride into glory.
Swiftly have sped the years
Since the great hattie.
Long Is 1t since We heard
The muskets rattle.
But now our chief must face
A foe more deadly
Than when at Cedar Creek
Flashed the guns redly.
Southwark from Winchester
stretched the wild region,
When by the Shenandoah
Camped the blue Legion.
Now he alone must make
The last brave rally,
Gazing with stcadfast eyes
Down the dim valley.
Not now his gallant black
Whinnies to greet him.
Pale IL the horse and still,
Pacing to meet him.
Yet on this charger set,
So shall he bear him,
That all the weeping world
Rises to cheer him.
Ride on, beloved chief,
Past the white portal;
Where through parting clouds
Shines the immortal!
While every heart of man
Thrills to thy story.
Once more, Phil Sheridan,
Ride into glory.

Governor Pennypacker of Pennsylva-
MIA did what was in one aspect coura-
geous thing when he signed what is
variously termed the 'anti-cartoon bilr'
and ''press gag law" but he utterly mis-
calculated the temper of the Pennsyl-
vania newspapers when he did it. Hard
ly paper in the state pays any regard
to the law except to make fun of it and
its sponsors, and the governor is made
the butt of most of the ridicule. The
governor, if he is at all thin skinned,
gets out of il by asserting that he is so
busy he ''has no time to look at the pa
pers."

Three Chicago ministers served as
arbitrator in a recent strike at the
stock yards, and put in bill for $1,000
each for their services. The labor union
which was responsible for the payment
promptly CIT the bill down to 80 cents
an hour, and paid the arbitrators sl4.40
each. While the original amount was
excessive, the action of the union is
equally unreasonable. The principle in
voked, if carried to its logical conclu-
sion, would reduce all compensation for
labor or other services rendered to one
level, without regard to the skill requir-
ed or the local conditions. The labor
unions would better be careful about get
ting their fingers into that crack.

REACHED HER LIMIT
Trained Nurse Whose Endu-

81 thought / could stand anything"
said Mrs. Jennie Sanford, a trained
nurse who lives at No. ITO Birch street,
Benton Harbor, Mich, "but l found
that my endurance had a limit. 1t was
after attending a case which required
more than ordinary watchfulness and
care that | broke down in health. I
was afraid that l should be compelled
to give up my work entirely and be-
lieye that would have been the case
had it not been for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.
"You ask me what Dr. Williams
Pink Pills have done for me? They
have done what doctors and all other
medicines failed to do-they have
made me a well woman. My system
was all run down and my stomach be-
came affected. I had indigestion SO
bad that my sufferings with it nearly
drove me distracted. Oftentimes / was
obliged to take to my bed My stom-
ach refused food and if did force my
self to eat anything it would not stay
down. my head ached most of the
time, | grew weak and felt perfectly
miserable.
II read about Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and thought would give them a
trial. And they helped me at once. A
few boxes cured me entirely and
have no return of the trouble. Since
then / have recommended Pink Pills
for Pale People to many and
have used them in my family whenever
there was need of medicine"
The pills which cured Mrs Sand
ford have accomplished as wonderful
results in hundreds and hun
dreds of other more severe
cases. They have proved speci-
