THE BLUE AND GRAY.

the blue is fading into gray,
Just as when sunset comes
With bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbingdrums;
The shadows reach across the
sky
And hush the cares of day;
The bugle call and drum beat
/ die
/ The blue fades into gray.
The gray is blending into blue
A sunrise glad and fair,
When, in the richpesss of the
dew,
The roses riot there,
The bitterness of yesterday
Is lost to me and you:
The blue is fading into gray
The gray blends into blue.
They're sleeping now the long,
long sleep
The boys who wore the blue;
Above the gray the grasses
creep
And both were good and true;
And in the twilight of our life
The ending of the way
There comes forgetfulness of
strife
The blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the lily
CLOVIS.
And humble daisies nod;
The ruby glory of the rose
Sheds luster on the sod;
The tears--the tears-tLey are
the dew
i That greets the coming day,
The gray is blending into blne-
The blue fades into gray.

And l expect to hear LOUSY
May beat 'em ALL
There the conversation ended
because a red-haired girl came
hurriedly into the sitting room.
She blushed furiously as she
heard her name
On the morning of the Fourth
OF July Louisa May was very
happy as she stood before the
small mirror in her bedroom and
gave the last touches 10 her
toilet. Her challis bad made
mp very prettily, and her moth
er bad delighted her by an uu-
expected gift of a pretty pink
ribbon sash. She had never
before had such a beautiful nat,
and there was but one thing to
detract from her satisfaction
with her appearance.
IF only l didn't have such a
mop of red hair" she said tothe
mirror. If it was mouse color
ed, like Amanda Danes, or a
reular, brindle, like Lucy Trent's
I shouldn't care. But red! 1t
isn't as red as il used to be,
though, and l shall wear my
hat while sing-that will hide
it a good deal"
There had been few holidays
in Louisa Mays life, and never
one so full of promise of pleas.
ure as this. She had been to
the village the day before to re-
hearse her song with Miss Hope
who was to play to the accom-
painment on the organ, and
Miss Hope had said that Louisa
sang beautifully. She had a
very clear and strong voice,
and she said to her mother as
they drove toward the grove:
Il don't feel a bit nervous or
afraid now"
She did, however, feel a little
nervous when her turn to sing
came, and she found herself on
the platform before the audi =
ence that filled every part of
the grove. The chairman of the
day stepped forward and said:
I'VE will now listen to a solo,
The Star-Spangled Banner, by
Miss Louisa May Hatfield"
At this someof the grand army
men set up a shout, and Louisa
May walked to the front OF the
the platform with the large silk
flag she was to hold while she
sang.
The applause died away, and
the or ganist had just begun to
play the prelude, when a boy
shouted shrilly:
RED head! Red head! Bet
ter look out or the fireworks
will catchw
Louisa Mays pink cheeks
grew palhd. She opened her
lips, but no sound came from
them. She was trembling from
head to foot. The flag fell from
her hand down over the edge ot
the platform. Then in an a. ony
of embarrassment she put both
hands over her face and began
to cry.
The boy who had called out,
Red head" suddenly felt a
hand grip the back of his collar
and he was jerked from his seat
by an irate little old man.
"Ill let you know how We
call my granddaughter red

song now. Come, grandpa will
help we of on it,"
The old man picked up the
flag which she had let fall to
the platform and holding it's
staff in one hand while his 9TH
er arm was round Louisa Mays
waist, he began to sing in thin
wavering. but not unmusical
voice:
"Oh cay, can you see, by the dawn's
early light,
What SO proudly we hailed at the
tWilight's last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched, we're
so gallantly streaming
He stopped at the end of
these lines and said gently to
Louisa May:
Come, now, honey, you sing,
too"
She had taken her hands
from her face, and as she look
ed into the sy mpatbetic faces of
the people before her, she felt
Der courage rise. When the old
man began to sing the next lines
Louisa Mays voice, clear and
steady and sweet, rose high
above his own:
and the rockets red glare, the
bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there.
Oh! say. does that star-spangled ban
ner yet wave
Ger the land of the free aud the home
of the brave?"
Sonnet hing of the lofty spirit
of the the grand old song sud
denly filled Louisa Mays heart
and made her forget her wound
ed feelings. Her grandfather
held the flag so that it's folds
were falling about her, and her
eyes were shining and her face
was smiling as size began the
second stanZa in voice with
out the least quaver. The OLD
man did not sing now. He stood
beside her with one arm still
around her, and nodded time
with bis snowy head and gently
waved the flag above the sing
err.
When Louisa Nays voice
died away after the last lines,
the applause was deafening.
While it was still at it's height,
her grandfather stepped to the
edge of the platform, holding
the flag alott. When he could
be heard he called out shrilly:
Every body Join me in sing
ing the last two lines! Come,
now, every body sing!'
"And the star-spangled banner in
trium phi shall wave
Der the land of the free and the home
of the brave"
The woods and the hills rang
with the melody; they rang
again with the shouts of the
people W hen the lines had been
sung not only once, but three
times.
The governor himself con.
graduated Louisa May, and

than she was during the rest of
day, but she felt much the same

cipal streets of the city, headed by the
Hawaiian Government band. Camels,

I soon. With the coming of that peace
what a welcome for the Lord Jesus there
will be! What a harvest will be gath
cred then" In closing the Bishop spoke
of the departure of Mr. Pearson and
congratulated the church on getting
such an able man as Mr.. Wadman as
his successor. He said that he rejoiced
that the outlook for Hawaii was so
bright.
Following his English address Bishop
Harris spoke at some length in Japan
csc. His address was sparkling with
wit and humor and stirring in patriot
ism. His references to the Japanese
heroes and to the twined American and
japanese flags behind the pulpit, and
the use of the phrase I'VE japanese
brought forth enthusiasm that even the
Japanese could not suppress and he
closed amid loud applause.
After the Bishop had finished speak
ing Mr.. John NJ. Martin and Mr.. j. NJ.
Webb expressed the aloha of the Eng
lish speaking members of the church,
the former bringing out a storm of en-
thusiastic ..amens'' and applause by
saying that when the war is over Rus
STA will have learned a lesson. The
service closed with japanese hymn.

SURE JAPS WILL WIN.
In an interview yesterday afternoon
Bishop Harris expressed the firm con-
viction that Japan would win the pres
ent struggle. Il have heard it said that
Japan was losing all her men and would
soon be forced to give up because she
has no more soldiers. Why, she hasn't
begun to send her men. She can easily
send 2,0c0, coo men to the front from her
