Get my knapsack ready, Mary,
And my uniform of gray,
Get my battered helmet, Mary,
For I'll need them all to- day.
Get my canteen and my leggings;
Reach me down that rusty gun
For I'm going out parading
With the boys of sixty-one.
Never mind that bloodstain, Mary,
Never mind that ragged hole;
1t was left there by q bullet
That was seeking for my soul. -:.. >,

With the boys OF: sixty-two.
Those old clothes don't fit me, Mary,
AS they did when Twas young.
Don't you recollect how neatly >
To my manly form they clung?
Never mind that sleeve that's empty,
Let it dangle loose and free, j,
For I'm going out parading
With the boys of sixty-three.
Pull my sword belt tighter, Mary,
Fix the strap beneath my chin,
I've grown old and threadbare, Mary,
Like this uniform-and thin.
But reckon I'll pass muster
AS did in days of yore,
For I'm going out parading
With the boys of sixty-four.
Now I'm ready, Mary, kiss me;
Kiss your old sweetheart goodbye.
Brush away those wayward teardrops,
Lord I did not think you'd cry.
Pm not going out to battle,
Cheer up, Mary, sakes alive!
Pm just going out parading
With the boys of sixty-fve.
Soon We'll all be parading, Mary,
In the land beyond the stars
On that bright celestial shore
With the good old stars and bars.
But before we go there, Mary,
Well meet the boys once more,
And practice for parading
On that bright and shining shore.

avalanche might well hesitate to an
noy; also it is told on the Uganda
railway that when trains have stopped
until the hippo has left the track the
animal has charged at the engine and
fought it, endeavoring TO push 1t OF
the rails.
Probably the hippo would hate to
learn it, but 1t is true that he is tech
nically classed with pigs by various
learned writer's, though he has many
radically different characteristics. At
any rate, the ancient Egyptians began
his humiliation by terming him the
river swine" The Arabs treated him
very gently, naming him the water
buffalo" Hollanders know him as
the see KUN" (sea cow, and he re-
ceived his present appellation, hip
popotamus, from the Greeks. So il is
seen that, widely known for centuries
throughout the world, the hippo for
merly must have had an unusually
wide range of existence. And that is
true. Although now found only in Afri-
Italy, Palestine, etc, and his skeleton,
strangely enough, has been found side

farther north than Yorkshire.
In Uganda, along Mr.. ROosevelt's
route, are found the finest living speci-

waterways and marshes provide them
with ideal retreats and breeding and
feeding places. Hunters on finding
what looks like probable feeding
place camp near by and keep careful
watch, for IN regions where shooting
has before occurred the beasts become
very wary, keeping under water, with
only their noses protruding among
lily pads or grass. In wild districts
grass and water plants principally To-
tus and poppy are their pabulum, but
where cultivation occurs they greedily
invade rice, millet sugar and maize

only by devouring, but by trampling.
