In the dark days Of the sixties, when
Princeton was a struggling frontier
hamlet-and was about all there was
to Mile Laos county,-her young men
did not wait to be drafted; they re-
sponded promptly to their country's
call. Mile Laos furnished her quota
without man being drafted. Young
men, of Mile Laos county, Company
G is calling for recruits today. Are
you less patriotic than the boys of the
sixties?

Minnesota.

When the LORD mac hnlSned making
the rest Of the country, He resolved to
make one section more beautiful, more
glorious, than the rest, and did So.
This section is what men now call Min
rnesota. The Maker took pine trees,
and planted them thickly in the north
ern part of the state, interspersing,
however, good farming lands. He
placed lake jewels all over the whole
section, to add beauty and glory to the
scene. He sowed valuable minerals in
the north, that men might mine them,
and from those mines develop riches
that shame the wealth of the Indies.
He saw to it that the country was well
watered by streams and rivers, that
man might harness their power and
turn it to good industrial account. He
made the soil fabulously fertile that
it might bring forth abundant crops
so that His children would never know
the real meaning of the. word famine.
And when these things were done,
He saw to it that it was blessed with
an ifvigorating climate and made for
health, and peopled the country with
hardy, vigorous citizenry which is
awake to its opportunities. This,
then, is Minnesota! -Winnebago City

MONTEREY.

We were not raany,-We VINO stoou
Before the iron sleet that day;
Yet many a gallant spirit would
Give half his years if but he could
Have been with US at Monterey.
Now here, now there, the shot it hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not single soldier quailed
When wounded comrades round them waile'
Their diving shout at Monterey.
And on, still on our column kept,
Through walls of flame its whitening way ;
Where fell the dead, the living slept,
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast,
When. striking where he strongest lay,
We swooped his thanking batteries past,
And Drawing full their murderous blast,
Stormed home the towers of Monterey.
Our banners DER those turrets wave,
And there our evening bugles play;
Where orange boughs above their grave,
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
We are not nany,-we who pressed
Beside the brave who fell that day;
But who of us have noe confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest
Than not have been at Monterey.
