Yes, Sir, I fought with Stonewall, And faced the Hunt with But if this here Union (foes to war, Make one more gun tor me I didn't shrink from Sherman As he galloped to the sea: But if this here Union goes to war, Make one more gun for me I I was with 'em at The bully boys In Gray I heard the thunderers roarln' Round Stonewall Jackson's way. And many a time this sword of mine Has blazed the route for Lee: But if this old Nation goes to war, Make one more sword for me! I'm not so full o' flghtin', Nor half so full o' fun.

His Northern Brother. Just.makcit.twp,.old.fellow, I want to stand once more Beneath the old flag with you As in the days of yore Our forefathers stood together And fought on land and sea- The battles tierce that made us A nation of the free. I whipped you down at Vleksburg, You licked me at Bull Hun: On many a Held we struggled, When neither victory won. You wore the gray of Southland. Like men we did our duty When screaming bullets flew.

Four years we fought like devils, But'when the war was done Your hand met'mine in friendly clasp, Our two hearts beat as one. And now when danger threatens. No North, no South, we know, Once more we stand together 'To fight the common foe, My head, like yours, is frosty- Old creeping on; Life's sun is lower sinking. My day will soon be gone. But if our country's honor Needs once again her son, I'm ready, old So get another gun.

E. COLLINS. Three Presidents. What empty echoes of the past are these denunciations of the President with which a portion of the press now rings They hark back more than a hundred years, to tho time of the first war fever with which the young Republic was afflicted. It was in 1793 and the few years following.

There IVCB a faction that wanted to get this country into war with England in behalf of France. It succeeded in putting a serious strain upon relations between the two. But the President resisted war and strove for peace, and wise statesmanship managed to preserve the peace with houor. For that he. was abused, denounced and vilified as few public men in this country have ever been.

He was called un American, cowardly, hesitating, a peace-at-any-price man, and other things far worse. But he outlived the storm, and is today remembered with gratitude and praise by millions to whom the names of his detractors are unknown. That President was George Washington. Only a generation ago there; was another outbreak against the Presi dent. He was railed at for inde cision, lack of candor, lack of ism.

He was in terms accused of trying to delude the public in order to further the schemes of Wall Street speculators. He was called selfish, inconsistent, blind, imbecile. There is scarcely an adjective in that vocab alary of abuse that wMMidt applied to him. Yet he, too, outlived the storm, and his very acts that then provoked vituperation now shine in history as purest patriotism and un challenged wisdom. That President was Abraham Lincoln.

Is a third name to be added to the list The most enthusiastic friend of any man might hesitate to put him in such company. It has bean reserved for William McKinley to be put there Incifculff stances almost exactly similar to those in which Washington and Lin- coin were placed he has acted, and is acting, almost exactly as they acted, and he is being reviled and denounced not almost exactly but exactly as they were. He, too, will outlive the storm. And it may be that before men who are now young shall have grown the parallel will be completed and it will be seen that they who strove to place him in a pillory sue ceeded only in placing him upon a pinnacle of Y.

He cannot too soon awaken to the fact that he is imperiling his most precious endowment.

All the wealth in the world, all the -plcasttTe -in-the- world, all the love and poetry and music and nobility and beauty are but dust in the mouth of the man who has lost his health. Keeping healthy means looking: after the disorders that ninety-nine men in a hundred neglect. You cannot get the average, every-day man to believe that indigestion or biliousness, or costiveness or headache or loss of sleep or appetite, or shakiness in the morning and dullness through the day amount to much anyway. He will "pooh, pooh" at you, until some morning he wakes, up. and himself, sick abed.

Then he will send for a doctor and'find out to his surprise that all these disorders have been but the danger signals of a big malady that has robbed him of his health, possibly forever. It may be consumption or nervous prostration or malaria or rheumatism or some blood or skin' disease. It matters not, they all have their inception in the same neglected disorders.

It is true wisdom for erery- body to take a thorough courso of Swift's Specific just at this season of the year.
