Memorial Day Verse
The Second Review.

I read last night of the grand review
In Washngton's chicfest avenue
Two hundred thousand men iD bIlp,.
| think they said was tlc Humbcr,-
Till | seemed to hear their tlgimplfng fee T.
The bngle blast and the drums quic K
beat.
The claltcr of boots in the stony, street
The cheers of people who c;jme ~ greet.
And the thousand details that f. repeat
Would only my verse cneumb"r.-
And then to Il iitful slulnber::
When, 10. in ID vision ! seemed to stand
Far stretched the portico. dim and grand
its columns ranged lk. 4 martial band
OF shected spcctres, whom some cont =
Had called to a last reviewing.
And the streets Of the city were white
and bare;
No football echoed across tie square;
Rut out of the misty midnight ar
heard in the distance 4 trumpet blare,
And the wandering night winds seemed to
THE sound of a far tattooing.
Then I held my breath with fear and
dread;
For into the SQUARE" with a brazen tread,
There rode a figure whose stately III s,d
Overlooked the review that mornil ~.
Th,t never bowed from it's iirm-set seat
When the living column pissed us l eet'
TO the phantom busle's warning.
Till it reached the. Capitol square tini
And there in the moonlight stood revc:I led
A well known form that in state and j1eld
Had led our phtTiot slres, !.
Whose face was turned to the siceltinS
camp.
| Afar through tho rivers fog and damIi.
| THAT showed r6 flicker. nor waning latnp.
| Nor wasted biyouac fires.
| And 7 saw a phantom army come.
| With never Il sound of fife or drum.
But keeping time to a throbpine mum
| OF wailinG and lamentations, ~
The martyred heroes of Malvern Hill.
or Gettysbtrg and Charlottesville.
The men whose wasted hgures III
| The patriot graves OF the natloh.
And there came the namelcss dead'-th4

,rhe slowlylatarved of prison pen;
! And. matching beside the others. :.
Came the dnsky martyrs OF Pillows
| with limbs .oenfranchsed and bearing
| bright; >. t
I thought.4perhaps twas the pale moon
They looked as white as their brothers,
And so ALL fright marched the nations
| dead. :,
| With never a banner above them spread.
Nor a badge, nor a motto brandishe.l;
No mark-Save the bare uncovered head
| Of tho silent bronze Reviewer;
| With never, an arch save the Vaulted SKY;
| With never q flower save those that lie
on the distant graves-for love could buy
| No gift that was purer or truer.
So all night long swept the strange array
| So aII hight long till the morning gray

Pointed Paragraphs.

It's poor rule that isn't good for one
more kick.
Cold feet sometimes causes a matrimo-
NAL frost.
And the fat woman who acts kittenish-
funny. isn't she?
1t takes born diplomat to hide his ig-
noraEce in smile.
Some mems honesty is due TO. the in-
eXpenS:veneSS thereof.
Ore way to fatt"r a )man, Is by tell
ing her she can't he flattered.
Many a man is kept busy TODAY trying
to undo the things he did yesterday.
Death doesn't end all for tho Sc who are
ambitious to break into the Hall of Fame
At least the husband of a woman who
IS spec CHESS with rage gets 4 temporary
rcSnite.
Possibly the bill collector has as much
respect for you as he has for some others
on his calling list.
Most women want a lot of things. not
because they need them. but because they
can't afford to buy them.
A man never appreciates his little fiat
so much as immediately after a two
weeks Soi0urn in the country.
Our idea of true heroine is q girl who.
after letting Il man rescue her from a wa
terry grave, refuses to marry him.
Whatever else may be dcteri0ratinC. the
Pullman berth rate of $50 per night and
the sucker birth rate of one per minute
are admirably maintained.

Conservatism reigns at the University
of Cambridge and the attempt to drop
Greek as compulsory study is de-
cisively defeated 1t used to be the
game on this side of the water, put
there has been a great change within
generation and there is now hardly an
American college or university where
Greek is compulsory or where some
thing cannot be substituted for it in the
admission requirements. To be sure.
many elect the study in our colleges
and it is certain they never regret it.
but as a compulsory branch its day is
ended i'm this land and although the
old English universities resist TIL"
tendency for longer time they Will in
the end yield to it. Many deplore the
icoroclasm of an age which not only
allows. but even demands this sacrifice
for when the study of the language OF
Homer and Demosthenes is given ur
something Is lost which nothing car
replace.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE MEAk
BODIES.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com
nyon Aches and Ills Of Augusta People.

AS one weak link wcakens a chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains. colds and other
causes injure the kidneys. and w"en
their activity is Iesscned the whole
body suffers from the excess OF uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and lanEuOr and
uniary ills come. and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Brights disease. There is
no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
Augusta cures are the proof.

Let me tell one tale, let me sing one

Ills Il tale devoid or IA name or plan,
It's Il Simpl" song OF a One-armed man.
Till this very hour ! could nc'er believe
What tcll-tale thing was an empty
sleeve,
VIVA; a wierd. queer thing was an empty
sleeve,
1t tells in Il silent tone to all.
Of a country's need and countrys call,
OF :, kiss and a tear for child and wife
Aud IL hurried march for a nations life,
Till this worry hour | could nc'er beicv"
What tell-tale thing was an empty
What wierd queer thing was ar empty
sleeve.
1t tells of n battlefield of gore.
Of the Sabre's clash and the cannon S
roar,
Of a gurclinE sound In foeman's throat.
of the WhZZng grape and the fiery shell,
And a scene that rivals the scenes of hell.
To this very time could you e'er believe
What tel-tale thing is an empty slee We
What wierd. queer thing is an empty
sleeve?
It tells of Il time when our flag shall wave
Ger land where there breathes no cow
ering slave;
To tie top of the skies will you all then
heave
Ono proud huzza for the empty sleeve.
For this one-armed man with the empty
sleeve.

The world has had stone age. an
iron age land various other ages and
one Of the various names by which 1t
seems proper to call this is the copper
age, especially for America. 1t is
pointed out by the New York Sun that
while 25 years ago the United States
produced 1000 tons of copper, the pro-
ductinn during 1905 was practically
worlds total supply. The value OF
last years output may he given AS
$3.50. Geo. 900 The uses of this metal are
steadily growing. 1t is estimate
that by 1920 the requirements of the
world will reach 100000 tons. The
United States will probably hold its
present place i'm the market. New de-
posits are opened from time to time.
There are known districts yet unde-
vrlorcd in the Western mountains. and
Alaska is rich In copper. Mexico and
Canada are copper countries and send
the United States ore and matte for
smelling, and pigs, bars and ingots for
manufacture. The increasing supply
of the metal promises to keep prices
within reasonable bounds, while the
increasing demand fairly assures am
ple profits to the owners of copper
properties. No available substitute
has yet been found for its use fol
electrical purposes. and the employ
ment OF electricity increases from year
to year. The day of copper has come
aud there is every reason to believe il
will he a long day.

1t Is said that the proposition now
before Congress to raise the standing
of the American representative at
Constantinople from that of a minister
to an ambassador has scared the poor
Sultan nearly into fit. One would sup
pose that the Turkish government
mcnt. as 1t is, in one sense, but diplo-
macy is a particularly peculiar game at
Constantinoplc. Transacting business
with the Sultan is thorny task for the
American minister. and out Of that
proceeds. much to the disquiet Of Tur-
key. the desire of the United States to
Leishman. When it becomes neces-
sary for him to present American bust
ness to the Sultan, it frequently takes
him months of persistent and peril
nacious nagging before he can see that
potentate. Minister Leishman Is one
OF the best hustlers who was ever sent
to Constantinople. and that fact con-
stitutes his chief value to this country
for Il is post that requires hustler

disposing of theirs at greatly reduced
prices and replacing them with large mo-
tor boats. Experts believe that before

least two hundred feet long. Experts in
medicine long ago decided that Hostel

and bowels. and from a standpoint of
merit. reliability and cures was far ahead
of any other medicine. 1t has been this as.
surance that persuaded thousands of
sickly people to try the Bitters. with the
result that they have since enjoyed better
health. Don't take ANYTHING but Hcstet-
