NUT of the pounding of guns and
 the blare of trumpets of the mo- 0 bilization of National Guardsmen there came yesterday song that went from armory to armory like a streak of lightning, and was even heard on many vaudeville stages during the evening, says the New York American. It is a song called Soldier Boy" in which the sen- timents of the women. of New York to- ward the brave boys who have rushed to arms for the defense of the country are wonderfully expressed.
 ''You're man that's brave and true,
 soldier boy,
 And I'm mighty proud of you, soldier
 boy,
 When the bugle call, so clear, called for
 men you answered
 'Herep with voice so full of cheer,
 Soldier boy!
 Chorus.
 Soldier boy, one kiss before you go. Soldier, boy, I'll miss you, that you
 know.
 Ev'ry night I'll pray for you far away, And trust to Him above to send you
 back some day;
 In my heart a love will always yearn, And I'll wait for your return So go and fight for the cause you know
 Is right,
 God bless you, my soldier boy!"
 The song Is both sad and inspiring, and it made everyone who heard it do a lot of thinking about how readily the guardsmen had dropped the peace and comfort of their daily lives in response to the Presidents call for help for the regular army.
