The Boys of The Sixties

To the flies insistent wailing, to the mutnet
beat OF the drum,
Like the ghosts OF an old-ttme legion, the
marching soldiers. come.
Bent with the weight of LIES burden. gray
haired and dim of eye,
These are the boys of the sixties whom death
touched-and then passed by.
The old feet stumble and falter the march is
broken and slow,
But the old hands hold the banner which they
carried so long ago,
And CLEAN like the CLEAN of sunset shines
from each faded eye
When the glorious folds are lifted and the
stars float out on high.
This is the flag that they fought for, whose
folds are red with the blood
OF comrades who stood beside them when the
death tide rose to the food.
The comrades who sank beneath it, who came
not back from the fray,
Who sleep under grassy hillocks which they
cover with flowers to-day
Stand aside with head uncovered, watch the
marching ranks as they go;
They are ghosts of the grandest army which
the world will ever know;
In the great apotheosis of loyalty unto truth
They staked their lives on the hazard, and
paid with the days of their youth.
Soon they will be but memory; no more the
failing feet
WIN march to the cities OF silence, to bear
garlands of blossoms sweet;
The green tents ON the hillside for Il moment
will open wide,
And the last of the great Grand Army win go
to his rest inside.
They shall sleep till the Great Commader shall
order the reveIle.
And they rise and march together-they who
kept their country free.

How to ELL up Holes in Wood.

1t sometimes becomes necessary to
mn up cracks or dents in fine wood
work, furniture. floors. etc. The fol-
lowing is the best way Of doing 1t:
White tissue paper is stepped and per-
fectly softened in water and, by thor
ough kneading with glue, transformed
into a paste, and by means of ochera
(earth colOrs) colored as nearly as
possible to the shade of the wood.
To the paste calcined magnesia is
then added, and it is forced into the
cracks or holes. This cement attach
es itself very firmly to the wood, and
after drying retains its smooth sur
fee.

Entitled TO the Best.

Tipping is admitted to be a bad
habit, but it is firmly established. A
young fellow who took his best girl to
supper felt that he must conform to
custom, and handed out his coin with
liberality, so that no one in the res
taurant was overlooked. After they
had been swung through the revolving
door she said:
Did you give that man at the door
anything?"
No. Why?"
He ought to have had the most.
He let us out"

The Filipino and Moro are antagonistic,

The Moro has no political aspirations

In view of these facts. Col. Hoyt says.
a continued union Of the two sections is
an unnecessary burden upon the Filipino
people, retarding their progress and post

the future.

USEFUL AS NAVAL STATION

The establishment OF the southern Phil
ippine Islands into separate govern
ment to be called the NIindanao Planta-
tons is earnestly advocated by Col. Ralph
W. Hoyt,. 25th United States Infantry,
who Is governor Of the Moro province
The recommendation is made In report
just received at the War Department.
Col. Hoyt calls attention to the great
difference in the actual conditions that
exist In his province as compared with
the remainder Of the Philippines, and
suggests that Congress be requested to
enact such laws and regulations as will
effect a permanent separation as early as
possible of the southern islands, includ-
ing Mindanao. Sulu archipelago and Pala-
wan, with all the smaller islands ada
cent thereto, from the rest of the Philip
pine archipelago.
The islands thus segregated. he says,
might be called the Mindanao Planta-
tons to distinguish them from the rest
OF the Philippines. 1t should be declared
to be territory of the United Statesmen
as colony. but to be occupied as coaling
stations and a naval base. with a civil
military government similar to the pres
ent government of the Moro province and
with policy SO plainly expressed that it
will settle any question of independence
or political agitation for annexation to
the northern group.
