THE COOP OLD HYMNS.
There's lots OF music in 'em. the hymns Of
long ago;
An, when some gray haired brother sings the
ones used to know.
| sorter want to take hand-I think o. days
gone by
.'on Jordan's stormy banks stand and cast
awishful eye
There's lots Of music in 'em-those dear.
sweet hymns of old,
with visions bright Of lands Of light and
shining streets Of gold;
And hear 'em ringing-singing, where mem
DRY dreaming stands,
Prom Greeniand's icy mountains so midas
coral strands"
We hardly needed singin' books in them old
days; we knew
The words. the tunes. Of every one the dear
old hymn book through,
We had no biaring trumpets then, no organs
built for show;
We only sang TO praisesthe Lord. from whom
all blessings fow."
An so love the dear oldab ymus, and when
my time shall come
Before the light has left me and my singing
lips are dumb
II can only hear 'em then, IN pass, without
asigh.
ITO Canaan's fair and happy land, where my
possessions lie

The negro EndeavOrers of Rhodesia
60 out two by two to preach in the
kraals. One of these Endeavorers was
once asked by his employer: why
do you want to learn to read? Isn't it
enough to make money! "Ah." he
answered, ''money will not buy eternal
life"
Fully 5000 Boer Endeavorers be
came prisoners during the Boer war
with England. During their imprison-
ment the spirit Of missions became
strong among them. and 200 of them
on their release volunteered to serve
as missionaries to carry the gospel to
the blacks. A new theological SEM
mary was formed to train them.
Every German Endeavorer gives u
rents year to support the National
Christian Endeavor union. They have
sent several OF their own number as
missionaries to the Caroline islands,
and the spirit of evangelism is very

PHILIPPINE War Soldiers Resume Their
Fight.

The travel pay agitation among
the soldiers who served in the Philip
pine Islands which has been upper
most n their minds since the rebel
lion, has taken ON renewed energy
! and the various camps cf the Spanish
/ War Veterans and other military so
cietiess throughout the country are
waking up to a fight for what they
feel is their just due. In line with the
action taken by many camps In the
country, the members Of salina
camp No. ., at their meeting held
Wednesday night in g. A. r. hall.
passed Resolutions to the effect that
the camp should work among the con-
gressnnen of Kansas to have bill in
introduced at Washington providing
for the issuance Of travel pay to all
soldiers who were enlisted for SER
vice Id the Spanish-American war,
and served after the peace treaty
had been signed between America
and Spain after which they were en-
titled to their discharges.
. In the event that bill Of this ma
ture should be passed by congress, 1t
would mean about $500 travel pay
for the private soldier from Ma
niIa to San Francisco, and more for
the officers in proportion to their
rank.
A. bill Of this kind was introduced
in the sixty-first congress by Senator
Dick Of Ohio, but the bill was nulli-
fled by the adjournment Of the con-
gress and the ex-soldiers are anxious
to have the bill introduced.
The services of those soldiers who
served beyond their time In the Phil
ippines were especially commended
by act Of cor~~"es approved June 20,
1905 and cc~~ress ordered issued a
bronze medal to each Of such soldiers
in recognition of such service, and
the majority of the men who 50
served have received these medals,
but the boys feel that they have more
than medal coming to them from
congress.
