From q Wartime Scrap Book.

A friend and reader living in North
Bossier has furnished US with clipping,
faded and worn with age, and writes:
Dear Banner: I herewith send poem
clipped from my old scrap book, made
during the Confederate War, and which
was written by Lige Sandlin, as he was
then called. If you do not wish to reprint
it, please send it back to me. Thinking
perhaps some of his old comrades might be
living and would like to again see it in
print is why send it. FRIEND.
Mr.. Sandlin was member of Company
D, Ninth Louisiana Regiment, and volun-
history OF this regiment, written by Capt.
R. J. Hancock of Charlottesville, Va, is
now appearing in the Banner from week
to week and the roster of the company as
published last week shows. Mr.. Sandlin' g
name.
We find pleasure in complying with our
friends request and would give her name
if we had permission to do so. The clip
ping referred to follows:
Jackson's Foot Cavalry.
Day after day our way has been
Der many hill and hollow,
Through marsh and bog, by wood and glen
When "Stonewall'' leads we follow.
Through dust clouds rising dim and thick,
Or smoke of battle DER US,
Close by our leader we must stick
AS he trots on before US.
Now we are trotting up hill,
Or fast behind it sinking,
Or jumping DER some roadside rill,
Without pause for drinking;
Now crowding on the narrow road,
In thick and struggling masses;
Now skirmishing the fields so broad,
Or guarding mountain passes.
Our march is thirty miles day,
And forty now and then;
But that's not strange you well may say
For we are Jackson's men.
Before the sun gets up we rise,
And eat our beef and dough,
And ere the moon has left the skies
We're off upon the "go."
With five days. rations of fresh meat,
And no shirts upon our backs,
And "narry leather" upon our feet,
We're ever making tracks.
In this sad plight we dash ahead
From morn till late at night
Or else are halted we'll nigh dead,
To charge the foe in fight.
All! then we throw aside our beef,
Our blankets follow suit;
TIL exchange, we know is our relief
We're sure to get the boot.
No wonder that the Yankees run,
And will not stop to fight;
For we've no need OF sword or gun
They cannot stand sight.
Our long hair floating on the wind
Like witches in Macbeth
They know they dare not lag behind
Well have their shoes, or death.
Young man, if truly you desire
To join our gallant band
If Jacks the leader you admire,
Enlist in our command.
You'll meet the Yanks ere many day;
If killed-why, what's the loss?
In heaven you'll be proud to say,
l was one of "Jack's Foot Horse.'

LITTLE DAMAGE FROM FIRE

Dashing wildly down Main street ut
about 8 O'Clock, minus a coat and hat
and with his face partially covered
by fresh layer of lather freshly ap-
piled in the barber shop from which
he was beating such a rapid retreat,
Frank Carter, captain of No hose
company gave every indication of be-
ing a candidate for admission to East
haven this morning. However, the
cause for his peculiar action was soon
ascertained. He was in the BARRIERS
chair having his whiskers punched
when the fire bell rang and Carter was
up and out of the door before the echo
OF the first clang had died away. The
horses at No. were also out on an ex-
ercising jaunt and made a spectacular
run back to the building.
The fire was in shed in the rear of
the home Of H. A. McCune, $40 South

bunch of matches explains the cause

gushing the blaze and the damage was

LARGE DELEGATION FROM UNI.
FORM RANK WILL ACCOMPANY
OFFICIAL VISITORS TO THE
CONVENTION.

Much interest is manifested by To-
cal Pythians in the meeting of the
Supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias at
Milwaukee, in August. Business
which will effect every lodge in the
United States and more particularly,
those of which the membership is
comprised of older men. will be con-
sidered.
1t relates to legislation, within the
order, in regard to the insurance
rate to be paid by members of the
fourth class. This class is comprised
of the older members. The commit
tee in charge of the report ON the mat
ter will probably propose some radi-
cal changes which will eliminate some
of the features of taxation which have
become Unequal.
A few years ago the supreme lodge
adopted system which raised the
insurance rates. This was done be-
cause it was found that many of those
who carried the lodge insurance were
not keeping up the premiums and
there was danger that this department
of the order would become bankrupt.
At that time it was not anticipated
that the change would work the hard
ship on the membership of the fourth
class which it did. 1t has been a SER
ious matter with the members of the
latter class to meet their premiums.
In addition to the business which
will be considered, Milwaukee is plan

Abolish the Laureate ship.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
The Star holds no brief as the coun-
selor of monarchs and monarchies, and
at this time of mourning in the British
world would not obtrude advice or
suggestion unless beyond dispute such
advice were sound and salutary. There
might justly be difference of opinion
whether the civil list should be short
ened or heightened, and whether the
Asquith budget should be or not be
beaten. These are questions which
should be left for settlement by the En-
glish.
But the matter of the laureateship is
one that concerns the whole world of
poetry. and it is in this respect that
the British empire needs reform. Ev-
cry man who writes poetry-and nearly
every man on the occasion of his first
love and when the buds were fresh in
spring has committed this indiscretion
knows how difficult it is to write
good poetry when he must. rather than
when the inspiration lays hold upon
him. Often the mans muse is balky or
sulky and will not attend him when he
beckons Every poet appreciates the
hardship of Mr.. Austin on the occa-
sion Of his poem on King Edwards
death. There are many poets in Wash
ington who could have done this work
better. The Star has regretfully re-
turned to the writer's with thanks
many samples OF poesy that were just
as good or Just as bad as Mr.. Austin's
latest essay in rhyme.
1t may be questioned whether the
post of poet laureate is at this day vi
tai to the integrity and interests of the
British empire.
