Tributes to Our Soldier.
From the New York Press.

!
The United States regular having
borne with calm fortitude the slanderOus
abuse of the anti-imperialists. will bear
with modest satisfaction the just tributes
of praise and appreciation which have of
late been showered upon him from widely
separated sources Many foreign military
critics have recently had words Of praise
to say for the United States soldier and his
officers and A. Henry Savage Lander, who.
though not a military man. is a distinguish
ed traveller of discriminating judgment,
heaps praise and commentator upon the
personnel of our army in an article in the
North American Review. From the west
coast comes the voice of the New Era of
Monterey denouncing the sensational re-
ports which have magnified minor offenses
of enlisted men, and stating that the one
thousand soldiers who have for the past
two years been quartered in that city are
upright orderly and Intelligent men, and
takes them samples, as they are of the
regular army as whole.

The Long Summer Day.

l can't blame the days for just loafing
aloLg,
For taking their time mid the shine and
the song.
For lingering here mid the sunlight and
flowers
And making the most of the indolent hours
That go drifting along through the gardens
of bloom
Like orient beauties half-drowsed with per-
fume.
When the daisies are white and the roses
are red
And melody sounds from the field and Ger
head;
When the billowing landscape that sweeps
far away
Gives promise of plenty for many day
When nature Is kindly and beauteous and
strong,
1 can't blame the days for just loafng
along.
