He Will Be on Deck.

In about fifty years the last man who
was IN Port Arthur with Stoessel will
begin dying to slow music. and he will
keep it up with more or less regularity
for the fifty years following.
Not only in the villages Of Russia,
but in every hamlet In the civilized
world will he yield up his life while tho
neighbors stand around in awe and re
late the story of his heroic past.
While there were but $4,000 or 10000
men In the fortress at the time 1t took
n tumble to itself and fell, the number
Of its defenders who will die leaving O
legacy of glory to their children will
mount up into the hundreds Of thou.

1t seems sad to contemplate, but up
to the present time science has found
no way to combat the hero microbe
which plays havoc with so many OF
u old men who have seen military
service.

THE SLEIGH RIDE.

When the little year US muf1ed
In its Christsnas coat of snow
And the cutters down the roadway
Speed like arrows TO and fro.
Then 1t is a glimpse of heaven
Down the frosty way to ride
With a fancy pair of steppers
And your best girl at your side.
How you pity those who only
Have a chilly auto car
As you cut the biting breezes
Down the speedway flying fart
On your cheeks midwinter roses
Like the garden beauties bloom.
And the pretty girl sits closer.

Soon you leave behind the city.
Giving to your steppers rein
As they glide into the country
Down some old romantic Ian
Far from human habitation.
of into some fairyland.
And before you really know IL
You are driving with n hand.
And you do not care a cooky
II the horses trot or walk.
1t would please you quite immensely
II the blooming steeds would balk.
For you're In the seventeenth heaven,
Getting all your moneys worth.
And each added mile made downward
Brings you that much nearer earth.
