THE VETERANS CROSS OF HOMO

THE VETERANS CROSS OF HONOR.
Tune-The Old Oaken Bucket.
How dear to the heart of each grsyheaded
soldier.
Are the thoughts OF the days when ali wore
the gray.
While memory recalls every trial and danger.
And scenes of the past live in battle array.
Though long since discarded our arms and
equipments,
There's one thing veteran most surely
will note:
The first thing he sees on the form Of a
ccmrade
Is the little bronze cross that he wears on
his coat
CHORUS.
The little bronze cross. the z. D. G. cross,
The bronze Cross OF Honor he wears on
his coat.
o dear to the heart of each battle-worn

Is the bronze Cross of Honor he wears on
his coat.

Dere's wha the old folks stay.
All up and down de whole creation,
Sadly roam,
Still longing for de old plantation,
Aud for de old folks at home
CHo Us.
All de world am sad and dreary,
Everywhere | roam:
OH darkies, how my heart grows weary
Far from de old folks at home.
All roun de little farm | wandered,
When ! was young
Den many happy days | squandered,
Many de songs | sung.
When l was playing with my brother.
Happy was /;
OH take me to my kind old mother,
There let me live and die.
One little hut among de bushes.
One that love.
Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes,
No matter where | rove.
When will see de bees a humming
All roun' de comb?
When will hear the banjo cumming,
Down in my good old homer

CHICAGO, May 25.--Wheat lower dur
ing the forenoon, higher in the last hour. The
completing the unloading of a line of wheat,
probably for a large southwestern trader, the
market has not had much pressure upon IT.
Miscellaneous traders, mainly local. have over
sold on weak spots and largely covered since.
Corn strength has been some help to wheat,
but the taking off of big line of short wheat
by a large speculator in the last few days
has been the chief strengthening factor. North
western markets have been in much the same
condition. showing frmness the result of
recent covering by important shorts. Foreign
weakness was of the chief causes or the
early selling. Liverpool closed at the equlVa-
lent of 90 cents a bushel for May, 93A cents
wea ther reports have been quite favorable.
Weather excellent for filling, maturing and
growing of winter and spring wheat in the
various sections respectively.
Many complaints of replanting today in
corn, also too cool for best development of
crop Some increase in country offerings of
corn, and also a forecast OFFICIAL of some
not increase as rapidly expected, and this
has led to much covering by shorts.
Oats followed the other grains on the early
declines and there moderate response also
to the later rallies. May delivery was hardly
as strong in the rally as was new crop
months. Crop and weather reports continue
fine for the growing crop.
Provisions have been very weak today Con-
siderable liquidation has been under way today
by miscellaneous longs.

DO|NGS IN SENATE
MAKE PRICES DROP
Weakening in Wall Street in Con-
traSt with Better Tone of
Foreign Markets
SITUATION ONE OF DREAD
Railroads Embarrassed by Can
vasS for Capital and Plea
for Increased Rates
rAseacia4aA preesl

NEW YORK. May 25.-Reports of proceed
ings in the United States senate today were
followed by weakening of prices Of stocks
and active selling This had decisive effect
following the uncertain sagging tendency
which had developed earlier, The drop in
the market in contrast with the better
tene of foreign markets and the improvement
of the elements in the situation that have
been dreaded.
The London condition seemed to be re-
lieved by the progress of the stock market
settlement and by easing of the money mar
ket there which was reflected in a Iufther
decline In foreign exchange rates in New
York 1t is pointed out railroads are em-
barrassed, as between their canvass for new
capital and their plea for Increased carrying
charges by the desrability of claiming pront-
able earning power ON the one side and OF
pleading poverty on the other. News that a
Chicago municipal bond offer at Az per cent
had brought no bids as high as par was
discussed as a sign of the times. So was the
request from the Denver Reservoir Irrigation
company for an extension of time ON mature
obligations.
Another sign OF improvement In the credit
situation was the report from Chicago thal
interior banks were paying off loans to Chicago
banks on a scale sufficient to offer resources
seeking employment in call loans in New
York The continued evidence of liquidation
in the grain and cotton markets Is taken as
matter for announcement for the same rea-
son. 1t seemed, however, that the call ios
Iouldatlon applied with equal force to the
stock market and over balanced any penent
