For 1 shall feel the old-time strength
when music's in the air;
And where the old Flag leads the way,
my feet will follow on,
For that is how we soldiers marched,
and how our fights were won.
1 know that many years have passed;
sometimes 1 think I'm old;
For hair is white and hands are weak,
and blood runs thin and cold:
But there is fire somewhere within that
flares up at the beat
And roll of any drums 1 hear along
the village street;
So I'll put on my uniform, and join my
comrades dear,
And march with them to honor those
who march no longer here.
Well lay the flowers about the Flag
that waves on every grave,
And tell the deeds of valor DER that
helped the Flag to save
Unstained and beautiful; Wen say the
office for the dead;
And hearts that have been sore with
loss, will half be comforted.
And so I'll turn out with the Boys, the
gallant Boys in Blue,
And we will follow Flag and drum the
way we used to do.

Secret Means of Communication
Mesmerism and Hypnotism

In India, central Asia, Arabia, as
well as in the northern and central
Africa, the natives have from time i'm
memorial possessed some mysterious
method of transmitting news, within
the space of an hour or two, over dis
tances of many thousands Of miles.
Study of the subject in the orient have
convinced Investigators that the means
employed is not electricity, such as we
understand it. For telegraphy when
we first introduced it into the orient
was regarded by the latter as a wholly
Jew and foreign contrivance. But that
some of the people Of Asia and of the
dark continent have mastered one OF
Lord Salisbury's riddles Of nature to
the extent of successfully applying
their discovery to the quick transmits
sion of news is an established fact.
When Lord Mayor, the viceroy of In
liza, was murdered in the Andaman
Islands, the news of his death, within
an hour after the preparation of the

dinand, and so, in the end, ascend the
Austrian throne. Sophie, innocently
enough, was the rock upon which these
ambitious dreams went to smash. So
the Archduchess' jealousy and desire
for revenge are at the bottom of the
vendetta which now involves most of
the women of the Austrian court.
The Archduchess Isabella had sew
eral daughters When Archduke Fer
dinand began to call often at the an
cestral castle of his distant cousins,
Isabella believed, as did the entire
court circle, that he was enamored of
one Of thehe royal young princesses.
Ferdinand, the polite, the courtly,
made much of his cousins, and his at
tentions set their hearts fluttering with
vague hopes Of a crown. The only
question with them and with their
mother was which one he would select
to share his brilliant future. So dip
lomatic was Ferdinand and so absorb
ed in their own ambitious dreams were
the Archduchess and her daughters
that they did not suspect the real mo-
tives that brought the Archduke so
often to the castle. The slim, shy,
modest young Countess Chotek did not,
for a moment, enter their calculations.
Then one day came disillusion like
a bolt from the blue. The Archduch-
ess Isabella, in her satins and furbe-
| lows, was sweeping up the stairway
of the castle. A dimly glittering OBJ
ject at her feet caught her eye. She
picked it up. 1t was the brooch of
her lady-in-waiting The Archduchess
would return it. But just then some
mischievous imp must have whispered
into Isabella's ear Idly curious, she
opened the locket. A portrait of a
handsome young man met her gaze.
All, hal She had stumbled upon the
Countess Chotek's secret. So that sly
mink of a lady-in-waiting was in love!
The picture was a miniature of the
Archduke Ferdinand
Excitement and CONSERVATION akin
to panic seized the household The
Archduchess hastily summoned her
daughters They found her storming
up and down the floor in tears of rage.
She Numbered out the story that had
been revealed by the loeket. Could it
be possible that the heir to the throne
of the empire would pass by the daugh-
tiers of this princely house and wed a
woman of lowly origin? Countess So
phie was sent for. She came with
downcast eyes. Il want the truth, J"
shouted the Archduchess. And Sophie
told the story Of her romance timidly.
It was true she loved Ferdinand and

her to be his wife. Her usefulness in

WHEN MOTHER SINGS.

By the window mothers sitting, gazing
on the sunset skies,
The lace she has been knitting, in her lap
unheeded lies
While to herself she's singing, in the sweet
old voice and low,
Songs that through the land were ringing
in her girlhood long ago.
And 1 seem TO hear the flies shrin call,
the long roll of the drum.
The tramp of hurrying thousands, as with
eager step they come,
proudly TO and fro,
As mother sings the chorus sung by thou
sands long ago:
Rally round the nag, boys, rally once
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
We will gather from the hillside, the val
ley and the plain,
Shouting the battle cry OF freedom
While the northern hosts were gathering,
all the southland was afame,
These men laughed at war as though II
were some merry game;
There gallant hearts were leaping, too,
beneath the coats of gray
And mothers smiled through weeping as
their brave lads marched away.
How little dreamed they of long years OF
conflict, grief and pain
Ere peace should bid their weary fae'
turn slowly home again;
No bitterness now fingers IN her thouSRts
of them to-day,
So mother sings tn inspiring song OF tne
southern boys in gray.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie
land,
Then I wish I was in Dixie,
In Dixie land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie.
Again I hear her singing, not the gay q
rallying song,
a strain of solemn majesty now bears my
thoughts along
As the hearts of men were lifted to the
King of Glory's throne,
Wrong is strong, but God is stronger,
and he watches DER his own.
Though too we'll our land remembers how
her heroes vows were sealed
In MANY a gloomy prison, on many a
hard-won field,
By long and weary marches, in the camps
of sickness, grim,
Yet they failed not in their purpose ana
they sang the battle hymn:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the com
ing of the Lord,
He is trampling out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored,
He hath loosed the dreadful lightning Oh
his terrible, swift sword.
His truth is marching on.
While weeks and months grew into years,
war swept throughout the land,
And took his toll of blood and tears, with
iron-fngered hand.
The fame-lit clouds of battle spread their
somber pail of gloom
Until the awful shadow shut the sun
from every home.
Oh, the weary hours of watching Oh, the
steps that came no more
Oh, the hearts that broke with waiting

As a matter of chronology it is in
teresting to know that the observance
of Decoration Day first originated in
Richmond, Va. with a little band Of
New England school teachers on May
80. 1866. and was adopted the next
year. 1867, by Confederate women
throughout the south, to be systema-
tized the year after, 1868, as a Grand
Army ceremonial by order of Gen.
John A. Logan, then commander-in-

ment. The lady-in-waiting was instant
~ dismissed. The Archduchess imme-
diately Informed the Emperor, who
summoned his nephew for an eXplana-
ton Franz Ferdinand declared he
was engaged to the Countess and
meant to marry her. The Emperor
tried in vain to dissuade him, but final
ly compromised on a years delay
promising to give his consent then II
the Archduke remained of the same
mind.
Young Ferdinand and the Countess
Chotek were married at Reichstadt,
almost privately, with only three of
the Hapsburgs present. Even the
brothers of the Archduke, Carl and
Otto, did not appear at the wedding,
while the Emperor merely sent mes
sage of congratulation. The Archduch-
ess Maria Theresa, however, was pres
ent and proposed the nuptial toast.
For several years nothing disturbed
the Archduke's married life. The
Countess never appeared in public with
him, the carriage she used lacked the
golden spokes of the wheels of impe-
rial equipages, and whenever the Arch
duke attended court festivities the wife
stayed at home.
The BeIyedere palace, which for
more than century contained the i'm
perial picture gallery, was modernized
and fitted for a princely residence, and
it was understood that the future EN-
peror's morganatic wife would con-
tinue to reside there, even after her
husband succeeded to the throne. The
Burg palace and Schoenbrunn were to
be reserved for receptions and festivi-
ties, and the Emperor would return to
the Belvedere every day, after having
attended to the business of the state
in his official rooms in the Burg.
The father of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand was Karl Ludwig, younger
brother of the present Emperor, famed
for his gloomy disposition and clerical
views. Ferdinand's mother died when
he was and he was brought up by a
devoted steupmOther whom his father
married when the Archduke was g. He
was educated with a view to his ulti-
mate entry into holy orders.
When he was Is his tutors realized
his unfitness for the life and he was
destined to be a soldier In the earlier
years of his manhood the Archduke
was an almost chronic invalid. At one
time he was obliged to go to Egypt
for his health, and lived out on the
desert for a year, fighting what his
physicians told him was tuberculosis
But since his marriage he has been so
devoted cared for by the mother of
his leisure time In November, 1900,
