 American boys, especially those from the South, all like Dixie and they are very partial to the old gplanta- ton songs. Old Kentucky Home Old Folks at Home and Maryland, My Maryland and they. all make good marching songs. After these old fashioned favorites, the boys choose few of the most popular of the songs of the day. making the selection largely as to their needs and condi tions.
 "The song of this character used in the Spanish crican war was, sThere'll be Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight and it was sung on every possible occasion. It has spiTst and is good to march to. 1t will be found in this war that the soldiers will make an exchange of songs with the men on the other side. and our men will likely come back with an acquisition of English and French favorites."
