The following verse was the last
written by Col. Hampton and was
published by the New York Herald
on whose staff he was q valued
member and whose verse was an
attractive daily feature of that great
journal:
The Flag in Sight
Go, fling the Starry Banner out

nailed to the mast, for IL has come
to stay. Go, fling the Starry Banner
out, go fling IL to the skies where
all may see that Liberty rejoices as
il flies. Go, fling the Starry Banner
out, Go fly il forth on high that IL
may shine along the line as freedom
marches by. Go fling the Starry
Banner out, in common consonancc,
that here we stand, One flag, One
land, and one allegiance. Go fling
the Starry Banner out, To pass the
word along to all the world that it's
unfurled against the Prussian
Wrong. Go, fling the Starry Banner
out. announcing that its call shall al
ways be Equality for men and wom-
en--all. Go, fling the Starry Ban

BY right divine the living sign Of
World Democracy.

HE QUIETED BABY'S CRY
Stranger, at Station, Took Child and
Called Him "Tommy" With Sur
prIsing Effect.

He sat all bumped up on bench in
a waiting -oom at the Union depot, in
Chicago. He was rather shabbily
dressed, tired and detected. Soon there
came couple with an infant and the
baby was hot and cross. Cry after
cry rent the air, and people began to
frown and make remarks about noisy
children, pests and the like. The
couple sat near the tired-looking man.
Finally he touched the father on the
arm.
"Let me take him." he said.
A smile told the father no harm
would come to the offspring and the
baby was placed in the strangers
arms.
"Now, Tommy" he said, in gen.
tie tone, "we'ze goin' to be reg'lar
feller an top our noise, amt we,
Tommy"
He petted the youngster and cooed
to it and in five minutes the wall had
ceased. The crowd grinned.
"Much Obliged" said the father, as
the stranger returned the child. "But,"
he added, "his name amt Tommy"
A far-away look came into the
strangers eyes and mingled with just
a touch Of that form Of moisture
known as "suspicious."
Mines was" he said. And then he
settled down again, all bumped up.

PERSIANS FOND OF SHERBET
of Beverage, Of Which There Are
Many Varieties.

The great beverage in Persia Is
sherbet, which is plentifully supplied
and of which there are many varieties
from the bowl Of water with a
squeeze Of lemon to the clear concen-
trated juice Of any sort Of fruit to
which water is added to dilute it.
The preparation of sherbet, which is
done with greatest care, is very i'm
portant point in so thirsty country
as Persia, and one to which much time
is devoted. It may be either expressed
from the juice Of fruit freshly gath
cred or from the preserved extract Of
pomegranates, cherries or lemons,
mixed with sugar and submitted to a
certain degree Of heat to preserve
it for winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drunk is
called guzangebben; it is made from
the honey Of the tamarisk tree. This
honey is not the work Of the bee, but
the product of small insect or worm
living in vast numbers under the leaves
Of the shrub. During the months Of
August and September the insect Is
collected and the honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet it is mixed with
vinegar and, although not so delicious
as that made from fruit, it makes an
excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other cases sher-
bet is served in china bowls and drunk
from deep wooden spoons carved in
pearwood.

It is q common belief that the chill

OLD TITLE TO BE REVIVED
Use Of Word "Dame" In England Ex.!
pected to Bring RidicuIe That
Awaits All Novelties.

The title Of "Dame," to be revived In
the new order, is old enough to be new
to members of the present generation,
and will doubtless undergo the gentle
sidicule that awaits all novelties, says
the Manchester Guardian. Was it not
said Of the now almost venerated Vic
toria Cross 60 years ago that If al
man were to stand with tray Of
crosses at a country fair he would not
sell them at four a penny?
The Primrose league was probably
the last institution to be associated
with the title, of "Dame," and its use
Of the appellation was not uniformly
successful. In one Scottish village
Primrose habitation was created, and
titles distributed with a lavish hand,
but the institution did not survive it's,
first meeting. A titled lady came.
down specially, and at a preliminary
"swaree," in her endeavor to be affable
and properly respectful at one and the
same time, addressed one or two Of the
local ladies by their Primrose title Of
"Dame" !
AS phrase on a parchment the term
was not amiss, but to be addressed to
ones face as "Dame" was another
matter. "'Dame,' indeed!" exclaimed
one matron, bristling with indignation;
"did We ever hear the like? I'm sure
I'm nae aul'er than her. I min as a
wee lassie she was a muckle hempie
gaun tae the schulz" etc. And hence
forth "Dame" became word Of re-
proach on the lips Of wicked LiberaD
children in that village.

Communication With Dead,

Sir Oliver Lodge, discussing in the
Bookman the possibility of commune
eating with the dead, says: "The
right method of attack is to ascertain
first, by experiment and observation,
whether communication is possible: /:
and then from that fact, if it becomes
an established fact, to infer that after
all the dead do know something, and
that they have a personal existence.
Whatever the method, percep-
ton Of sentiments of survivors Is un-
doubtedly fact; and one great merit
Of the communications received in such
cases is the relief and comfort they
have brought to the feelings Of those
on both sides Of the veil. Once those
on both sides are made fully aware Of

Would "Gas" Tsetse Fly.

A British official named Timmler,
stationed in territory that was former
ly part of German East Africa, pro-
poses to take leaf out of the book of
European war experience and apply
the process Of "gassing" to the ex.
termination Of the tsetse fly. His plan
is either to use a gas destructive to-
the flies but harmless to man, or to
have the operators use gas masks in
case the gas is dangerous to human
ity, and he thinks that the monsoon
wind of that region would carry the
gas across the fly-infested area. Ma
ture, in reporting this proposal, ex-
presses skepticism concerning the re-
suits, but says that ian experiment
would be better than any expression Of
adverse opinion. Scientific Ameri-

Within humble homestead
Sits woman and her boy.
He Was indeed her idol,
Also her pride and joy.
He tells her he must leave her
And soon sail across the sea
To fight for the Land of Stars and
Stripes
And for Humanity.
With tear dimmed eyes she softly says,
My dear. if you must go,
God grant you country liberty
And strength to fight the foe.
Remember what I've taught, son,
To place your trust in He
Who can protect and guide you
Whether on the land or sea.
Do well, my boy, your duty,
That is all that you can do,
Fer you are only one of hundreds,
But your mothers proud of you.
l hope you and your comrades
VIII nODly 40 tnelr part
And that you will win victory,
I'll pray with all my heart.
And when the war is over
hope you will return.
For your success FL daily pray,
Although my heart will yearn,
But this world is full of mothers
Who feel just the same as l.
With heavy hearts they sit tonight
And bitterly they sigh.
