OUR SOLDIERS.
=. I. = r. :, r ..*f

Oh! Soldier Boys! Our Soldier Boys!
We cannot from you part,
Because the day you left us,
1t nearly broke ones heart.
We love you for your bravery
And for your courage too,
Don't let the old flag be sullied
By any wrong thing you do.
Hold the old banner high my boys,
Dare not her folds to stain,
By any act of cowardice
Or any worldly gain.
Remember It's not the brave soldier,
Who wants to fight his way along,
But the one who stands for honor,
For tue right against the wrong.
And when you're on the border
In the glare and heat of day,
When your blanket you are rolling,
Oh, don't forget to pray.
Always learn to lean on Jesus
In that dry and desert land,
Because you know he holds you
In the hollow of his hand.
Yes, we are trusting in that Savior,
And in our President too
To keep your blood from splitting,
In the land you travel through.
Oh! Soldier Boys! Brave Soldier Boys!
We are praying you won't have to
go,
To battle with the Greasers,
Away down in old Mexico.
Oh! Soldier Boys! Our Gallant Boys!
We are proud of you as we can be,
And we're asking his love and bless
ing
For the officers and men of Com
pany D.
MRS. L. T. JENKINS.

GRASS WIDOW SPEAKS.-I have
just pulled some of the hayseed from
my hair q am a grass widow and I
want to tell Allen Steven that the
real reason this class of women
catch the men is that we, being left
by our lords and masters of the su-
periOr(?) sex, by the grass or sod
route, as a rule have also been left
a Teady-made home for the man to
step into who wants a home some
other man has made. Therein lies
the attraction that a widow holds.
Neither is it necessarily true that
when a man secures a divorce from
his wife she is ready to love the first
man that appears, for she probably
has enough to be grateful for to be
rid of No. 1.
According to Allen, eff Eve had
been an old maid, Adam would not
have fallen" The bible has never
made note of the fact that Eve was
a widow. If she had husband other
than Adam, who was he and what
became of him?
Allen refers to the single state Of
Dorothy Dix, Helen Oldfield and
"Others of that hopeless class How
does he know that these noble wOm-
en- are old maids? They are not, in
all probability, as fond Of seeing their
real names in print as is our distin-
guished critic, If they are single

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-(Wall Street. -Diminution of public interest coupled with persistent bearish encroachment brought about unsettlement in todays stock market Operations ran beyond a million shares for the twelfth con- secutive full session, largely at the ex- pense of quoted values.
 Recessons were not severe. except in some highly speculative issues. The leading coppers were consistently strong, Anaconda rising 3B points to the new record of 94 412 while Utah, all lowing for it's recent dividends, aggre- gating three points, also made a new maximum at SITS.
 Pressure was directed against the rails soon after the strong opening, later extending to United States Steel, which fluctuated between 10SB and 107, closing at 107 B. a net loss of A point Rails partially recovered in the exten- slVe short covering of final dealings. and other important stocks finished well above minimums.
 Shipping shares were backward throughout Mexicans, some of the equipments, minor industrials and mu- nitions denoted liquidation, the feat ure of the latter class being Driggs- Seabury, which made an abrupt break of 171A points to 94H.
 The days news had little effect upon market conditions. Recent sessions in- dlcated increasing confidence in short interests. Total sales amounted to 1,150,0 900 shares.
 Bonds remained firm on larger and more general offerings. Total sales, par value, $5,17O,0O0.
 U. $. bonds were unchanged on call.

Corn closed unchanged to F @5s lower; oats at an advance of Is to 5s and pro- visions unchanged to 15 cents higher.
 Bulls in wheat seemed to be dis posed for a while to put considerable stress on admissions from London thai Rumanla had been caught at a disad- vantage by Bulgarian attacks in the southeast These admissions were coupled here with Russian advices thar at best it was not expected the Oar. ! danelles would be opened in time tC allow any shipments this season.
