THE WATER BOY.

You may talk o. football games,
You may speak o. players names.
While you're waitin' for the contest
to begin;
But there's one who shows Dis grit,
He's the lad that keeps EN- fit
He's the water boy they dub their
Gunga Din.
Now. he don't get in the plays
And he won't get any praise,
But he does his work and does Il
like a man.
The players rush and cnss him,
But it takes a lot to fuss him,
For he's used to bein' dragged across
the pan.
He's just DIN, Din, Din
You lazy, crazy, loafin' water boy
Hey! whip your steed.
Just show little speed!
You're slow, you fliVver water boy
He rushes out like mad,
A players hurt-rot bad -
And he swabs face with water ~
he goes.
The fans UP in the stand
Give many reprimand @
Because he isn't faster on his toes.
But he knows the game aud grins
And he's glad when his team wins
For he knows he's helped to bring
victory in.
And when the seasons over -
He's restless, roamin' rover
For there's little praise for poor old
Gunga Gin.
He's Just Din. Din. Din,
You loafin' freshman, Gunga Din.
They have cussed and they have fay.

But by the bloomin Pep that made you
You're better man than they arr,

"EQUAL TO ANY EUROPEAN"
Lord WolseIey's Opinion of the Amerl-
can Soldier Is of Some Interest
at This Time.

Field Marshal, the late Lord VOL
seley, of the British army, had good
opinion Of the American soldier.
1t ought to be of interest to Philadel-
phlans to learn that he received this
opinion from the conduct of a Phila-
delphia volunteer regiment during the
Civil war.
/ was told tie other day that when
Wolseley read of the way the Corn Ex-
change regiment, the One Hundred and
Eighteenth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
withstoOd the fire at Shepherdstown-
when they were the merest rockies, for
they had had less than Is days train
ing-he exclaimed:
III an American volunteer unit can
act In that manner the American SOL
der is the equal Of any soldier in
Europe"
The regiment, which was greatly out
stood Its ground, although
the order to retreat had been given. 1t
appears that the order failed to reach
them.
They were shot to pieces, and had
the additional discontinue to find the
Enfield rifles they were using were I'M
perfect.

pended upon to give just as good an

ity to master the English idlom. says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A tenant
recently gave notice that he was un-
able to keep his lease on house, and
the Frenchman was sent out to find
what was the matter. The former
made this brief statement, and the lat
ter took notes on it:
"SOme time ago scarlet fever broke
out in the neighborhood. and we sent
the children tn the home of their
grandparents. Shortly afterward my
wife'S health broke down. and we de-
cided To break up housekeeping. At
about the same time the house was
broken into by burglars, and our maid
was 81 badly frightened that she left.
My wife didn't feel like breaking in

The Frenchman expanded his notes
into the following report:
Scarlet fever broke away in this

health broke into. So he decided to
break in housekeeping. The house
was broken down by burglars and the
maid escaped. The lady doesn't want

Considering Robert Louis Steven
sons short life. he wrote great deal,
but he planned still more. A writer
who has been delving into his record
offers what he says is a hitherto un-
published list of "twO novels and
tales" which Stevenson meant to
write, but never did. 1t runs thus:
The Indian Mutiny, Saranac Lake,
1883; Cannanmills, probably Saranac
Lake, 1888; The Rising Sun, at Sea
Pacific), 1890; Dyce of Ythan, Samoa.
1892; The ShOvels of Netwon French,
Samoa, 1892; The Beach COmbers, Sa-
mOa, 1893; Sophia Scarlet, Samoa,
1893; The Owl, Samoa, 1893; Death in
the Pot, Samoa, 1893; The Sleeper
Awakened, Samoa, 1893.
Stevenson planned other work not
In the line of fiction. They were: A
Biography of the Duke of Wellington.
a Biography of Hazlitt, history of
the Indian Mutiny, an English Gram
mar, to be illustrated from the Eng
lish Classics. He also began and, for
one reason or another, never cOmplet-

The caroline war" was border
trouble between the United States and

publican spirit rife in parts of lower
Canada which eliminated i'm Deem

ton in Toronto. The leaders of the
instruction fed to the United States,
and one of them, newspaper man
named Mackenzie, with % or 80 men,
including a few from the American
side who had joined him, seized an is
land in the Niagara river and set up
n provisional government. Their navy
consisted of steamboat called the
Caroline and one dark night while she
was lying on the American side n party
Of Canadians crossed the river and
burned the boat, killing several men
on board of her.
The affair caused great Indignation.
