But the outer walls had fallen and the
inner walls were falling.
And tho garrison no longer could the fear
full siege endure;
Slowly died their resolution. and they sent
MESSAGE calling
On De La vallette, the master, for as
slstance strong and sure.
IN the citadel the master learned st. Elmo $

And his anger famed UP fiercely. and he
spake In scornful ire:
Go, Sir Knight. and tell your brothers /
have granted their petition;
Tell the cravens there are others who fear
not the invaders fireH'
All, the bitter taunt was singing; not
soldier brave could, bear II.
But with splendid Indignation and sense
Of newer faith
There came firm determination and the fiery
battle spirit
once again inspired and nerved them to re-
sistance TO the death.
80 with obstinate persistence still the Turk
ish cannon Numbered,
And renewed was the resistance Of the
fearless knightly band:
TIL at last the willy Moslen from the fort

And tho knights knew all was finished
that the end was close at hand.
Soon the final charge was sounded. Oh,

stern array Of war;
All the Crescent flags are glacing as the
maddcned host is nearing,
Each asSailant in the sunshine whlrls his

So in all its wondrous glory fell the castle
OF st. Elmo:
Naught they found amid the ruins but the
Corpses OF the slain:
Longest lighting, latest dying. was the youth

Child of sweet romantic vision, son OF

Oh yc waves that lave the island, chant

plsrespeet 1t Soldiers Funeral

ITO the Editor Of the EusniHo Pubic Ledger!
u Sr--A q recent funeral OF a soldier who
was KILLED in action. 10 wGat noticeable that
rthtre was marked lack OF respect shown
Sthe national colors as the funeral cortege
fpsssed along the street. \ noticcably small
fpercentase OF the uniformed city employees:
shamely. the police, salutcd the colors. and
tit Is fair to say tnat no doubt the only ones
fwbo did show proper courtesy were former
tservice men.
II would seem to US that in Wow OF the
1fact that the individual whose body rest 5
beneath the national colors gave his all for
the American people at least common
decency should be shown. to say nothng
lot respect to the deceased. by the men re-
imovirg their hats and standing perfectly
tstill, or near a position Of attention as
IA civilian can. and for the women TO remain
tsilent until the body ha5 passed.
IL is possible that the lack OF respect
fshown to the national coiorJ and the body
fof the soldier on such occasions is due
more to thOughjlcGsness than % ignorance
BON the part Of the public, and We take
fthis opportunity oc bringing he mo.tn~
before the attention OF the reoDIc through

YOU NEVER CAN
TAME A WILD CAT
Mr.. Dodson Warns Against
Use Of Treacherous, Dan !.
gerous Ca!omel

Calomel saivates! It's mercury,
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes intv
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing c-ainping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, ccn-
stipated and all knocked out, just G,
TO your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cent?
which is a harmless vegetable sub.
stitute for dangerous calcamel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn't start ynIr
liver and straighten you up better
md quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just
go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides.
It may salivate you, while if you take
Gcds-1s Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition ana
ready for work or play. It's harmless
pleasant and safe to give to children:
they like it.

One of the best contested games
that has been played in this vicinity
was played at the Orleans Opera
House between Barton and Orleans
high schools, January 13. The line
up and details will be found on the
Orleans page. The two teams were
very evenly matched though the Or
leans boys were little heavier. The
first half was loosely contested and
three fouls were called. Hardy of Or
was the fastest man on the Orleans
team. The period ended with Orleans
five points in the lead, the score be-
ing 16 to Fl.
When the second period started the
game changed it's course. The B. A.
boys were fighting as they had never
fought before. They not only made
up that five points against them but
they made IL points to Orleans six.
The last ten minutes were scoreless
but Barton had the advantage and
kept the ball at her end most OF the
time. There couldn't be any Barton
stars because the boys all played SO
we'll that they were all stars or else
there were none.
The final score was 2S-27.
