Civil War Rich In Songs.

OF course the civil war was rich in
songs, and the same was true of the
campaign Of 1868, when Grant was
candidating for his first term This
one was Il Yavorite at all the Grant
mass meetings:
Should brave Ulysses be forgot,
Who work I'd so long and we'll
On fields where fires of death were hot
And brave men fought and fell?
He bore our cOuntry's banner on
Through scenes of dreful strife
And helped to strike the blow that saved
Our nations precious life.
When Grant tried for third term in
1850 there were songs about him that
ran very differently-thiso one. for in
stance:
1T will be a ID shame" cried Fred,
IF father Is not nominated"
And so when the shame
Came out through Jim Blaine
Our Fred
Bowed his head,
Wept like water cart II Is said,
And howled like a bulldog under a shed.
He said, with eyes red:
1.-THE empire is dead.
They amt got any use for our anointed
head"

PLAN 10000 TON BATTLEsHIP
Naval Architects Suggest Deck Armor
For Aeroplane Bombs.

Plans for 10000 ton battleship are
already on paper at the navy depart
ment in expectation of the allowance
by congress for two new battleships.
The plans call for a ship about as
large as the New York. with a cruiser
like the Olympia, Admiral Dewey's
flagship at the battle of Manila, added
to her bulk.
If congress permits the new ships
will present some unusual features
Possibly they will have fifteen inch
guns. eight for each ship. which will
be the most powerful ordnance afoat
in any navy. Effort will be made to
provide light armor protection far be-
low the waterline to guard against the
projectles of the new cannon torpedo.
1t Is suggested that part Of the
weight carrying capacity Of the hull
be given up to deck armor thick
enough to resist bombs dropped from
aerOplanes.

both were driven tandem with Pega

The mustans colt Is strong and young.
His wind is strong. his knees not sprung.
The old gray horse Is we'll known hack.
He's long been fed at the public rack.
The mustang is full blOoded colt.
He cannot shy He will not bolt.
The old gray nag when he tries to trot

The mustang colt will clear the track!
