a MILITARY FUNERAL,

He has answered his last call.
Heard nls final rcvellle:
What to him the charging ranks
And the banner OF tho free?
What to him the cannon'a roar?
What to him the battles hum?
He has lived life's little day.
And eternal night has come.
Now for him tho lowered flag.
And tho muffled drums sad beat;
Arms reversed and wall of fife.
Solemn tread of marching feet.
One more slab OF marble white
Standing In the field OF death;
Ono more grave within those walls,
Perfumcd by the rosc's breath.
One more soldier called away,
Just before the vlctory's won;
C;onA to take his last long sleep.
Ere his life has well begun.
Soldier, rest. thy battles DER.
Deep beneath the grassy sod;
Dust to dust snail e'er return,
And thy soul go back to God.

their work. The robbers, so the

suddenly over the tender near Okla
hola, covering them with pistols and
ordering the train stopped.
These bandits are believed to be

not recognize him as the king ant
he was rushed to thchospitai.

of the patient which they had carr
for
: The king was unattended at IL

was reached by those who saw hin
fall.
His body was carried to the public

Several small towns are already
inundated by the flood of water that

The Hymelia levee gave way
about eight o'clock last night and
in fifteen minutes the crevasse had
been increased to a gap sixty feet
wide, through which a raging tor
rent of water poured inland, carry
