The Soldiers National Anthem.

George F. tumb, late sergeant, Co. NJ, Ninth U. S. Infantry in the RotaHar.
There is only one American national anthem to me, to the soldier
and / feel about it as a French officer, visiting a Rotary Club, re-
Gently expressed himself about "The Marseillaise.' - They had stood
to the playing Of America, and the French officer remarked:
"Ah, in re Washington 'Ze Star Spanged Banner in re Atlantis

we stand for La MarseiNase' and for Messing else, because, mon ami.

Twas pacing up and down on guard duty in front of the old Span
ih custom house at Manila.
The turbulent splash Of the Pasig river as it dashed itself petn-
lantly against the old sea wall seemed to be purging it of the blood Of
the night before.
AS the first grey streaks of dawn broke over the distant palace of
the governor, who was in the walled city, the laiA stepped, leaving
rs wet to the skin, weary with the long night of vigilance and-wen,
] dent believe anyone else in the world ever felt hungrier.
Distant objects began to take form in the grey light, the tramp
of the corporal and his welcome relief sounded as they turned tho
corner, and across the Pasig | saw a little dark bali slowly creeping
up the old Spanish flagstaff of the governors palace.
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner across the bay, to watt the thrill Of the
soldiers ashore to the sailors of Dewey's fleet, the little ball on the
flagpole broke and the red and white stripes for which we had offered
our lives the day before rippled out into the early sunlight.
Ny heels clicked together, the trusty old "Krag,, came from the
right ahoulder to the 'spresent" as if | were IN parade, and for once
I wilfully broke the regulations by calling out to the oncoming
patrol:
.fLook, fellows! She's up over old Mania!'
And the corporal exclaimed: "Thank God! Fall outl Three
cheers for old Glory"
That's why there is only one national anthem for me.
That's why every soldier stands at "atlention' every morning
and every night in every camp. not while the band plays America or

WYE often hear mothers lament
w ing the fact that there is no
kindergarten in their neigh
borhood. They are intelligent enough
to know what q benefit a kindergarten
training would be to their children,
but are not aware that many of the
methods used in the kindergarten may
also be employed in the home.
This is particularly r of kinder
garten hand-work, which comIoses a
sort of elementary manual training
course. For hand-work in the home
1t Is not necessary to expend much
time, labor or o fcT Materials;
indeed. they may nearly all be OBJ
tanned in the nou1e.
Plastic clay or equal portions OF
-Four and salt worked into "a plastic
child should begin by reproducing
simple objects he sees about him, or
he can create from his own imagina-
ton. Give the clay into the chiid's
hands and let him do what he pleases
with it. He will find plenty to do and
greatly enjoy this occupation, besides
unconsciously expressing some Of his
own ideas concerning which 1t will be
valuable for the mother to know.
Later on the child ma be led to or
Eanize his ideas Of form by being
shown how to make a ball or other
6eouletIlc 1OFm ana Win SuglC~T6-
moulding change it into an apple,
pear OF other similar shape. This
should never become drill work and
the adding OF bits Of clay is more
easily done than the pressing Into
shape of a mass of clay. But q per-
ception Of the geonetric structure Of
all form isA part of the art world.
Paper-foldinE Is simple, and an oc-
cupation which the child can easily
manipulate himself. Give him a
small, square piece OF colored wrap
ping paper, have him bring opposite
edges together, n then fold through
the center, once. This will make a
book which he can play he is reading
or singing from. or he can call it a
scrap-book and paste pictures in it.
Folded twice, the piece Of paper
makes q nice little square handker-
chief which has just been 1roned and
is ready to put away. Next the pa
per may be opened out, and it will
be seen that the two folds cross at
the center. The may be fold
ed to this center, n at a time. When
three corners are folded In, it looks
like an open envelope; after the last
corner Is folded In, the envelope Is
