THIS MOTHER GAVE HER ALL

One Of the touching incidents of
General Lyons march to Wilson creek
was that of Tennessee mother bring
ing her little boy to the captains tent
and offering him for the service of his
country. The boys father had been
killed IN battle and the mother and
boy were alone in the world. The
bright eyes and alert bearing of the
little chap. for he was scarcely thlr-
teen years of age, caught the eye of
the captain and he asked what the
boy could do. IL can drum" he said
proudly stretching himself to his full
height. And he could as the f1fer
soon found out as he played 1.-THE
Flowers of Marlborough" a most diff
ficult piece to follow with the drum.
Madam, I'll take the boy" said the
captain. The mother kissed her boy
and turning to the captain said:
Bring him back, captain" and to the
boy she said as she placed her hand
on his eager little head, God bless
you, my boy. You're all / have left,
but give you to my country, and
drum right bravely for the boys in
blue" During the heavy fatiguing
marches from Rolla to Springfield Il
was amusing to see the long-legged
fifer wading through the mud with our
little drummer hero mounted on his
back. During the fight at Wilson
creek the CHEEKY fife and brave drum
beat time for the soldier boys In bat
tie. The fight led down into deep
ravine and II was not long before our
drummer boy was in the midst OF the
fray. That night the detail on guard
duty near the ravine thought he
heard family the sound Of drum. He
listened in the moonlight and when
the relief came he asked permission to
go in search Of the little drummer lad
He followed the sound of the drum
and soon found our hero seated on the
ground with his back against tree
and his faithful drum hanging on a
bush. He dropped his drum sticks as
the guard came up and exclaimed:
"0h, corporal, am SO glad to see you.
Give me drink" and as he turned to

And yet it just seems like you humor

And watt us your thanks. as we hail
you and fall
Into line. with you over us. waving us
Where our glorifed. sanctified betters
have gone
And this is the reason we're wanting
(And we're wanting 1t SOL
Where our own fathers went we are

Who gave you the name of Old Glory
-O-hoi-
Who gave you the name of Old
Glory?
The old flag unfurIed with a bilIowy
thrill
For an instant, then wistfulIy sighed
and was still.
Old Glory; the story were wanting
to hear
Is what the plain facts of your christ
ening were.-
For your name-just to hear it,
Repeat 1t, and cheer it, IS tang to
the spirit
AS salt as tear
And seeing you fly, and the boys
marching by,
There's a shout in the throat and
blur in the eye
And an aching to live for you always
or die,
If, dying, we still keep you waving
on high.
And so, by our love
For you. floating above.
And the scars of all wars and the
sorrows thereof.
Who gave you the name of Old Glory,
and why
Are we thrilled at the name of Old
Glory?
Then the old banner leaped, like a
sail In the blast,
And fiuttered an audible answer at
last
And 1t spake, with a shake of the
voice, and ii said:-
BY the driven snow-white and the
living blood-red
or my bars. and their heaven of stars
overhead
By the symbol conjoined of them all,
skyward cast,
AS float from the steeple, or flap
at the mast,
Or droop DER the sod where the long
grasses nod
My name is as old as the glory OF
God.
80 So l came by the name OIL

HOW THE PLOT
INCLUDED CUBA

INCLUDED CUBA
The Christian Science Monitor.
which Is newspaper more than an
organ Of church. has had special
representative in Cuba who has been
able to establish with considerable ac-
curacy some sort OF connection be-
tween Won Zimmermann-von Bern
storff and the Cuban revolution. 1t
would be strange indeed II those in
dustrious plotters had left the island
unconsidered In the plans OF foiling
the United States. With Japan on
the west and Mexico on the south
and Cuba to the southeast. the ring"
about Uncle Sans neck would be
quite formidable.
When the war began they were go
ing to start revolutions In every part
OF the allied world, in Ireland, in Nor
rocco. in Egypt, In Persia, and in In
dia, In South Africa-there was not
place where they failed to start
some plot, but all Of them fell to
pieces, since the Berlin government
had been acting on the advice Of very
stupid spies. spies who made the en-
peror so mad that he fred a whole
bunch OF them at one time-they were
Just as stupid as Won Zimmerman and
Won Bernstorff were when they per
mitted their papers to be captured.
The Monitor says 1t has definite
information to the effect that an agent
of Won Bernstorff has been spending
the winter at Miami, Florida In close
touch with the Gomez who started,
or tried to start, the Cuban rebellion.
Gomez was once president of Cuba.
There is also information, and some
traces of a temporary submarine base
on the Cuban coast, where some oil
cans were found. When Gomez prop
erty was to be confscated, 1t was
found that 1t had all been decided over
TO one Upmann, a German subject Of
great wealth in Havana, and another
one OF the suspects took refuge in the
German legation of Cuba. That they
knew who their friends were was
thus made plain. The United States
has agents working on the Cuban plot.
tings. and. It probably has great
deal more information on the subject
than has leaked out. We are assured
from Washington that not a tenth of
the information In hand has ever been
given to the public. nor was all the
Won Zimmerman letter to the Mexican
minister printed when that document
was given out to make congress real
ize the seriousness of the situation.
There was very Important part held
back. one part dealing with the re-
wards that were to go to Japan. It
is limited that while Mexico was to
get back the lost provinces of Texas.
New Mexico and Arizona, Japan, in
this great German plot. was to get the
whole Pacafic coast back to the Rocky
mountains. and including Utah-the
Mormon state was especially mention
ed as being the eastward limits of the
coast empire which Japan was to set
up on our western coast. Nevada was
to be part Of the mikado's domain.
And the beauteous Won Bernstorff,
who was defended by Brother Bryan
In several emergencies, was not only
cognizant Of all these plottings, but
was the big man in them. and all this
while he was enjoying the hospitali-
ties Of our country and entrusted with
negotiations with Washington.
