For the Maine Memorial.

The Maine Monument Association
realized handsomely on the lecture Civ
en- for it by Admiral Sigsbeet; and the
Association is going right on. with the
work of preparing for the erection of a
monument to the dead of the Maine. A
great many things haveeto be done to
perfect the organization. 1t Is not yet
decided Just what shape the member
ship certificate will take, whether ii
shall be badge, certificate, or both.
The Association has under considera-
ton a badge which is Ito be made of
metal of the Maine. Mrs. Isabel Wor-
rell Ball, who is Chairman of the Com
mittee on Badges; Mrs. Annie w. john
son and Mrs. Annie E. Hoagland, the
associate members, are all OF one mind
on that proposition. 1t will take a spe-
cial act of Congress to secure the metal,
but the committee has assurances that
this can be got thru without trouble.
The monument is to be erected in the
city of Washington, in some command
ing spot, and will be to the dead of the
Maine. There seems to be an impress
sion that the monument is to the men,
ory of the dead of the Spanish War,
but this is not true. The brave boys
who went down to death in Havana
Harbor were simply American boys do
y,
sumabiy in peaceful waters. They de-
serve a monument, and il the people of
the country help one of the handsomest
ever erected in the country will tower
toward Heaven.
Admiral Sigsbee, who is the Presi-
dent of the Maine Monument Associa-
ton; Maj. Frank Butts, Col. John Nc
Elroy, Gen. Burt, Maj Merriam, Col
Goulden, Col. lie Gage Pratt, and the
m, nf
mittee are devoting much time to con-
sideration of business methods for Sc
curing membership. Meantime anyone
who desires membership can secure it
by sending 81 to The National Tribune,
stating what it is for and giving full
name and very plain address. Just as
soon as the method of acknowledging
membership and recording is settled
upon all those who become members
will be notified and receive the benefit
of whatever is adopted. 1t is more than
probable that the first few thousand
membership badges Will be of metal
from the Maine, so those who want
this desirable honor should come in at
once. First come first served, always.
- Those who have subscribed for mem-
berships since last accounting are: B.
F. Evans, Newton JunctioI, N H; B.
w. Shiles, New Westminster, B. c.,
Canada; B. Warren, st. George, Ga.
Every subscriber has had a particu-
larly kind word to say for the projected
monument. Comrade Warren, who is
a member of the Grand army of the
Republic, and number of other pa
triotic organizations, says: The writer
has just read in The National Tribune
of the proposed monument in memory
of the men who lost their lives by the
explosion of the Maine in Havana Har-
Dor. May the outcome be a structure
to which all Americans can look with
PRIDE and incloses 81 for membership.
All subscriptions sent to The Nation
al Tribune, care John McElroy. will be
ACKNOWLEDGED thru the paper.

AIS Right at Fort Logan.

(After a non-appearance of more
than five months the garrison flag was
raised in time for Flag Day. Private
John Smith expresses his sentiments to
his reporter friend.)
Yep, this morning; tho there wasn't in
the air the slightest hint;
Cussed the bugler same as usual (cuss-
words don't look good in print).
Rev-eil-lee comes dog-goned early when
you're out on pass and late,
So ! glued my eyes and 'possumed,
hugged my bunk like grimy fate.
At the last and fag end second of the
final minutes grace,
Out l rolls and goes to splashing sleepy
cobwebs from my face.
When we 'possum those few minutes,
why, we've got to hustle some,
And 1 did; but, hang it all. sir. every
finger was thumb
Not button nor a buckle, but it took
an extra crack;
Got call-down from the Sergeant,
and, of course, we can't talk back
Some days everything goes crossways,
sort o get up wrong foot first;
Got no hankering for breakfast, got a
headache, got thirst;
When you feel as tho you'd never do
another thing but kick,
When you wish that smart recruiter-
Could be sent, with all the Army and
it's red tape, every inch,
Where the Ice Trust can't do business
and the coal mans got cinch!
Stumbled out and lined for roll call.
feeling just that very way;
Knew the orders, knew the detail-ours
for duty, Co. A;
Me for sentry at the guard house; made
my legs ache. very thought;
Best not touch that chip / sported; drop
a hat, and I'd have fought!
Well, we closed and dressed the line
up; answered when / heard my
name,
Hung my lip down, stared before me,
seeing nothing. just the same.
With salute my bunkie nudged me, and
/ heard suppressed huzzas,
Looked up quick toward headquarters
and, by God, sir, there she wasi
Swinging limp, but creeping up to
where the wind gets in its swipes.
Creeping steady up the pole-cord, there
she was, the Stars and Stripes!
Slow and steady, till we saw her stretch
her broadside to our view,
Stand out taut and trim and tidy
there she was, Red. White and
Blue!
Say, 'twouid done you good to see us,
see the look on every face,
See the natural chest expansion as those
blue lines took brace!
Twould have done you good to hear
us; it's roar when we combine;
Hear us cheer with gladness, madness,
till we all but broke the line!
Bet your life 1t makes difference with
the best of us, the worst,
Found my hankering for breakfast, lost
my headache. lost my thirst.
Should have seen me hit the gravel of
my beat! Cold? Was I cold?
And my legs? Gee! was prapcing like
some frisky two-year-old!
At the west end, made my 'bout-face
stepping hign and stepping light,
Grinning upward like some school kid
at his brand-new, homemade kite.
There she hung in ripping billows, as
shed float and tug and heave,
Good for hungry eyes to look at, after
absence without leave.
Red! 1t seems like all the blood drops
Of the heroes. martyrs great.

And they're all wove in together, Light

What? Oh, yes: to-day is Flag Day
with you people down in town:

Out here, every day is Flag Day; we
don't need one set apart;
Whole year thru, it's just one Flag Day,
in the post and in our heart.
Makes difference, you bet youi Makes
us soldiers, patriots, men!
Lies worth living, life's worth loving,
and the forts a fort again,
Skies are bluer, friends are truer; swift
we answer each command;
And the girls we love are sweeter, hold

All the earth is full of beauty, eastward

For the Lords remembered Logan,
Look, look up! We've got our flag!

The Stainless Banner.

Down from the highlands and off the
far islands,
Out of Armenia, Finland and Spain,
Celt and Ionian, Semitic, Slavonian-
Come to commingle their blood with
our strain.
Why, when the Old World begs,
Why shall we take her dregs?
Why give them welcome to heart and
to vein?
Spawn of the peasant-uncouth and
Son of the pauper and child of the
thief;
Bred thru the ages of dwellers in cages.
Starved of all but starvation and grief
Why do they grope to us?
Do they bear hope to us?
What would they write us on history's
leaf?
Here be haven. but not for the craven
hand.
Thus were the sires who lighted our

the land.
Far will we fare with them,
All Will we snare with tnem,
But for our cause must they steadfastly
stand.
Brothers, remember to nurture the

Let not the glory of Lexington fade.
Sound on the clarion, honor to Marion
Gle who fought starving in morass and
glade),
Perry and Scott and Boone,
And what the Texas moon
Saw when the Alamo's score had been
paid.
Theirs were the sorrows, and ours are
the morrows;
Into our hands have they given in trust
Stainless the banners that heard their
hosannas-
Flag which no heel ever ground in the
dust.
They who would share its folds
Gladly must bear it's folds.
This is the price they shall pay for
their crust.

Camels i'm Arizona.

Before the war the Government tried
the experiment of importing 81 camels
for use of the Army as transports across
the deserts of Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico. For some reason the expert
ment was not success. Neither the
soldiers nor the Mexicans took kindly
to the camel; did not understand his
nature, and did not want to learn. The
war came on. The camels were turned
loose and forgotten, but recently two
That two of them are alive is proof
that camels could be used in this coun-
try; but, after all, despite their ability
to make long Journeys between drinks,
there is hardly place for them in our
economy. A place worth while sending
caravan of camels to is worth while
sending railroad to, and railroad is
cheaper and better than a caravan.

Spiritual Healing,

Daniel Fl. Spofford, 1st Mass, Ames-
bury Road. Haverhill, Mass, says that
in 1861 he went out as one of the army
engaged in suppressing rebellion and in
maintaining the integrity of the Nation.
The fruit of that conflict was the up
holding of the Nation and the freeing
of a race from physical bondage. Once
more he goes forth as volunteer to
put down a rebellion and to maintain
the integrity of Him whom we reverent-
ly call Our Father which art in Hcav-
en-. He has embodied his thoughts in
a neat little pamphlet, entitled What
Is Religion?" 1t Is an exposition of
what he understands to be the principle
of spiritual healing, and is well worth
reading.

Hail Kills 1900 Sheep.

The crop of Summer stories shows
up well, and an important contribution
to it is the story of a hail storm near
Mexico, which killed 1900
sheep on one ranch. The sheep were
piled up along the railroad, SO that all
the passengers saw them. The story is
told by a Pullman conductor, who, of
course, would not lie or exaggerate for
anything less than quarter.
