FORWARD BROTHER.

Our New England hills are echoine,
With the tread of many feet;
Khaki colored phalanX, drilling,
In the open city streets.
In their faces, set, determined
can read the old time screed,
Forward, brother! Onward, brothel
For the Germans must recede.
Old New England, our New Englanl
From her rock ribbed granite hills,
Come these men of splendid courage
Marching onward to their veal.
From the port, the farm and hamlet
From the city and the town.
Onward ever they are coming,
Marching many thousand strong.
To the North, the South and Westwa
You will find New England blood,
Firm and cool in times of danger,
Marching always to the front.
Call US yankees" if you will, sir,
We all know Just what that means,
Smart in trade, little smarter
Than the one we're dealing with
And our women oh! those women,
w no can sew and spin and knit;
Who can 60 without so gladly,
If the nation calls forit.
Brave eyed mothers, sending boys q
To this endless call of war,
Do you think because they cry not,
That they somehow do not care,
Onward ever come these phalanX,
In their khaki color gay;
Eyes to front and never backward,
Marching in the sun and rain.
In their faces set, determined,
| can read the old time screed;
Forward brotherl onward brother
Our New England must succeed.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS END

Phoenix The Harshaw shooting scrape which resulted in the death of Reyes Morales and Felipe Gradillos, ended, so far as legal proceedings are concerned for the present, when the coroner's jury brought in their yer dict. It was to the effect that the two men came to their death as the result of bullet wounds from a pistol fired by Nick Farrell and that the deed was justifiable. Farrell's state ment before the jury was to the effect that he. was passing the house of Morales and found the two men, Mo rales and Gradillas quarreling and about to engage in fight; that he at- tempted to pacify them when Morales made at him with a dagger; he then shot Morales and at once Gradillas threatened him with a pistol and he shot Gradillas.
