Our hearts are with the fleet as it salls and sails awayWith the ripple of the red flags o'er the guns in grim arrayWith the stars that light the darkness as drifts to Freedom's dayOur hearts are with the fleet-with the With the fleet, With the fleet, Where the stormy billows beatOur hearts are with the fleet, With the fleet! Our hearts are with the fleet as it sails the stormy seaWith captains and the sallors in the battle of the free; TIll the sea-bells join the chorus of the bells of LibertyOur hearts are with the fleet-with the feet! the fleet. With the fleet, Where the stormy billows beathearts are with the fleet, With the fleet! -Atlanta Constitution, Victory in the Clir. As Mamie was crossing the parlor she stole a glance at her cream-colored four1n-hand tie. This time the finishing twist which she had given the knot was perfectly to her taste, and a gleam of delight came Into her eye. It took very little to raise Mamie's spirits still less to lower them.

Fred sat on the lounge, leaning forward and watching his landlady's daughter from under his forehead, as usual. As the girl faced about, self-contentment shown down upon him from the pale little face. He felt put down, as he had done on many a similar occasion, and he said, with some resentment in his gayety: "You think you're awful smart, don't you, Mamie?" "Why, certainly I do." "If you was, you'd marry me." "'An' if you was, you'd know that I never would," she said gravely, and the gleam vanished from her eyes. Fred thought was no hope for him, and that reconciled to his there, fate. But he went on hoping, and ting the removal of his trunk some other boarding house from month to month.

A year passed. Fred was still occupying the same furnished room, and passing many a half hour scanning Mamie from beneath his forehead. He was a member of the National Guard, and on one occasion he succeeded in getting her to attend the annual ball of his regiment. But his uniform did not make the desired impression. On the contrary, 1t somehow accentuated the unheroic lines of his lanky figure.

He felt it, and was more wretched than ever. One day he said: "Our regiment is goin' to camp, Mamie." "It is?" she asked, with an abstract Interest in regiments and in going to camp in general. "Yes, we're going to Peekskill. Will you see me off "You ain't goin' to the war?" "How do you know I ain't?" She made no reply, but hour later her mother told that they must see their boarder off at the pier and that If Mamle didn't join her she would be the heartless creature that ever came "He ain't got nobody else to see him front her family. off," she further argued.

"He keeps straight an' don't owe me a cent an' never gave me no trouble an' -an' -an' he's all alone in God's world." On the appointed day the streets rang with the music of marching militiamen and with the hearty ovation of an admiring city. The sky was a festive blue, the sun was fondly playing upon forests of rifles, a gentle breeze held joyous communion with a sea of Stars and Stripes; and pervading this symphony of sound and color, filling everybody and everything in this mighty-In this soul-uplifting chaos -were the far-away echoes of a first great victory. The pier and the nearby streets were alive with surging, uproarious multitudes. The boat was blowing off a leisurely fashion, for there was whole regiment to arrive, but the leavetaking had been going on for some time. Hands were clasped, voices spoke of good luck and of love, some grave, others shouting with exuberant vivacity, others again broken with sobs.

knot of jovial fellows, leaning on their guns, were exchanging jokes about the heavy loads on their backs. Another group wag ginging a war song. Sightseers who had nobody in particular to see off were pushing, clamoring for admittance, asking questions, laughing, cursing, singIng. Fifes were shrieking and moaning in 8 desperate attempt to pierce through the Inexorable peal of drums, tugboats whistled their greetings, enthuslastic citizens called for cheers. Mamle and her mother stood waiting, the old woman impatient to return to her household duties, the girl listlessly gazIng upon a soldier's cap-device in the revers of a young woman's spring jacket.

Presently a hurrah went up from the crowd. The belated regiment came, emerging from the compact mass of bystanders, and the air was filled with "Marching Through Georgia." Mamie trembled. The exultant notes, the beautiful notes, and the cheers went to her heart. She grew pale; tears rose to her eyes. "Here's Fred!" her mother shouted, pulling her by the a arm.

"Where?" Mamie asked, as her eye eagerly searched for the boarder. The sense of knowing somebody in the marching, lionized host was grateful to her. She had felt lonely in the multitude of strangers, many of whom had some soldier to talk intimately to, and the fact of her mother's boarder being one of the heroes of the day seemed to attest her right to a place in the scene. Her spirits rose. "Marching Through Georgia" was resumed.

Mamie felt as she could hear voices advancing from somewhere berond the invisible horizon. The fifes were speaking to these volces and the distant answers they received were cheered by the drums. Once again Mamie trembled; again there was a tear in her eye. The regiment halted amid a fresh acclaim. Fred rested his gun in front of his two friends and shook their hands with a fatigued, grateful, embarrassed smile.

The pier was in a tumult of enthusiasm. Mamie was all but bursting Into tears, yet she answered Fred's greeting gayly, and as her eye fell upon the huge bulging pack on his back she said to herself that it made him look stouter and not quite so lanky. She felt awkward, and so did he. "It was awful nice of you to come," he said to both her and her mother. "How long are they goln' to keep you Away from us?" asked the old woman, with motherly concern.

"Oh, I don't know. We may have to go to the front as soon as we're all broke in. I wish they'd send us." "Do you?" laughed Mamie. They had been chatting and joking for some 10 minutes, when there was a futter among the guardsmen. Fred started.

"We're roln'," he said, paling. "Mamie," he then turned aside to whisper, "I wish you'd let me put this on your jacket; will you He took the cross-guns out of his slouch hat and held it out to ber. 'Take' It, Mamie; I have only one -minute," he besought her in a tremulous whisper. The Afes burst forth anew. Their epwas again answered by voices in the the drums once more joined in applause.

bussed and all sides. "Don't forget to my love to auntie!" "Be She no murmur, bat when he proceeded to pin his badge to her coat she did not resist. The young man felt his heart melting within him. "I'm goin' to the war, Mamie," he muttered without hearing his own words, and only conscious that he was boasting and making a last desperate appeal to the girl. "If I come back nothin' to live for except you, Mamie.

Will you wear It? Will I write to you? WIll you answer my letters? Good-bye." Borne along by the marching column, he disappeared in a maze of rifles, slouch hats and blue coats. their way home, as they sat in an overcrowded cable car, Mamie's mother never ceased talking of young man, but the girl heard not a word. The horizon volces which a few minutes ago held converse with the fifes, and had been applauded by the drums, were now speaking in her ear. A mass of blue, set off by the glint of rifles, never left her eye, and outlined against this medley was the figure of the young soldier pleadingly, almost sobbing, pinning the little ornament to her coat. Is he really going to the front? Will he come back? Her heart sank within her.

Her Angers touched the bit of brass, and 88 she stroked it again and again she Imagined her lips kissing it, and a thrill of happiness and of yearning passed through her frail little frame. -New York Commer- clal Advertiser.

Little peach blossom has awakened at last, What do you think awoke her? Not the birds, as they sang and twittered all day, And talked of their nests and the eggs they would lay; Not the wind, as It rocked her cradle so fast, And told her that winter had long ago passed; Not the sun, as he wrapped her in an embrace, And showered sweet kisses upon her sweet face: Nor the moon, nor the stars, though they glistened so bright, And tried to persuade her to wake in the nightBut a warm April shower fell on her one day, With a quick dash of rain; and this is the way That little peach blossom first opened her eyes, With faint little blush, and a look of surprise. Firm determination, especially if exercised yone possessing great and splendid rifts, will accomplish most things that are worth accomplishing in this world. The Social Chronicle.

Children's frocks have fallen Into line this season and display the tucks so popular with the grown-ups. These tucks are used for yokes and also in many cases repeated above the hem, and are as fine as the French lingerie plaits. Ribbon is freely to trim, and gauzy ruffles and flounces give an alry effect that la very tempting. One cannot, however, help wondering at the feelings of the small wearers when cautioned in regard to the preservation of these same fluffy effects. A dainty little frock shown at a recent opening was of cream-colored French surah.

The slightly bloused waist had a yoke of fine tucks alternating with insertion and outlined with a ruffle of duchesse lace. The sash tled at the back was of wide white satin ribbon. A double ruffle edged with narrow lace was get above the hem. An underdress of white taffeta completed this very rich frock. Another dress of sheer French nain.

sook had a short yoke bordered by a square yoke collar extending over the shoulders and prodding in deep points to the waist at the back. The yoke Itself was formed of lace and fine cluster tucks. A belt of insertion fitted the frock at the waist. The skirt was of the material, with lengthwise strips of lace insertion alternating with tucks and finished with a ruffle of lace. The underslip was of white taffeta.

Has the year's petty worries robbed the spirit of freshness, the heart of joyousness, and planted furrows of care and unrest? One day of complete selfsurrender to the humanizing, mellowing Influences of springtime, of reverent li8tening for the infinite heart -beat through this newness of life that comes stealing in upon a weary, wafting world, has the magic power to reveal to every fine, susceptible soul its spiritual lapse from its better self. But the awakened consciousness to one's shortcomings and to the earth-goll and dust we have allowed to half cover us, does not bring discouragement when all nature is teaching the power and beauty of beginning over again.

"What is?" he asked. "Why, here is the story of a man who went to the Klondike, leaving his wife In San Francisco," she exclaimed, pickIng up the paper again.

"He had a little money and built two houses, one of which he rented, and he was getting along famously until his wife started to Join him. She took everything that they had in San Francisco with her, and was wrecked and lost it all. And she never would have started if it hadn't been for him." "He wrote for her to come?" "He wrote for her not to come," she answered, with the accent on the "not." "He told her it was no place for a woman, and that she'd better stay where she was. That's what started her, of course, and that's why I have no sympathy for him whatever.

But the cobbler stitched on.

"And whatever I do." He said, "I shall work till the needle goes He sat on his bench till It verged upon night. His wife lit a candle and brought it for light.

A Dog Hospital. Picture to yourself a dog hospital, where our canine friends are given all the care that should be bestowed upon a human being under treatment, and you will have a very good Idea of one of the most Interesting places in Chicago. The dog hospital in question is a sunny, whitewashed room, occupying the upper floor of a building in the rear of 1246 Bruce Under the Knife. Michigan avenue. The lower portion of the building is devoted to sick horses, and when the horses and dogs are convalescent they meet in a large exercise room where the professional nurses gather when not busy with the patients.

The animals soon learn to trust the doctor and the nurses, and you would be surprised to see how little objection they make to treatment after they have once found how much good it does them. Big Bruce, the great 'St. Bernard dog, who is shown on the operating table in one of the pictures, is under treatment for a tumor. He is an aristocratic dog, belonging to a wealthy Chicago family. When the time came to operate on Bruce the tumor under his right shoulder wag nearly as large as a small cocoanut.

Following the instructions of his magter, Bruce leaped upon the operating table and lay down there. His shaggy, white body nearly covered the table 8.8 he stretched out at full length In response, to his master's command, and then wagged his bushy tail as a sign that he was not afraid of what was comIng.

Dr.

Flowers then deftly clipped and shaved the hair away from the shoulder of the dog, and with a few swift, sure strokes of his surgeon's knives removed the unnatural growth of fleshy substance called a tumor. With the aid of two assistants the surgeons dressed the wound, closed and bandaged it, and Bruce was slowly fanned back to consciousness. He gave a feeble bark of recognition when he saw his master, and he sniffed suspiciously at the bandages that bound his shoulder. Bruce was then carried to his and soon fell into a deep -Chicago Record, BLOSSOM TIME. Snow, snow.

One smile can glorify a day, One word new hope Impart, The least disciple need not say There are no alms to give away. There is so much that may be done While the glittering life-sands run, If ye be but earnest minded, If ye go not weakly blinded By gay Fashion's heartless folly, Or a selfish melancholy; By a momentary pleasure, Or a love of ease leisure; Lured not by flitting beauty From the narrow path of duty. Much there is that may be done By an earnest-minded one. There is much that may be done By a gentle loving one! Her sweet mercy's prayer to breathe, Her the manly brow to wreathe In fadeless garlands from above, Gemmed with the dew of heaven's love To soothe the careworn, troubled breast, To guard the weary pitgrim's rest, To close the eyes of age and youth, To whisper of celestial truth, Much-ah, much--may e'er be done By a gentle, loving one.

It la only selfish people who contrive to be always happy and placid whatever happens. They are so thoroughly unsympathetic, so unmoved by the joys and sorrows of others, that so long as they live in comfort they are perfectly content. But a great many well meaning people contrive to be unhappy when they might well be the reverse. They have made up their minds that this world is a sad and weary one, and they will not grasp and benefit by the few Joys that come in their way. They may fully understand the divine dictum, "weep with them that weep," but they fail to realize equally binding oblito "rejoice with them that do rejoice." Service has eternal life.

Deeds never die. Men pass away, but their acts live forever. The only part of life which endures on earth after the flesh has become dust, and after marble monuments have crumbled Into decay, is that part which had been put into other lives and through deeds of loving service. And every bit of ministration done in life will be manifest in heaven. Each "cup of cold water" will help to swell the "river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God." MANILA BAY.

(The vaudeville tenor who will set this little song music and sing it in sallor costume Is likely to make the hit of his life about now): In the sweet of northern springtime, far away acrost the sea, Sits a Yankee girl a-waltin' an' she walts fer word o' meMe a-fightin' of the Spaniards down in old Manila Bay, With our nearest cable station some six hundred miles away. Here in old Manila Bay, Where the Spanish squadron lay, Down in Davy Jones's locker they're a-lyin', sir, today. Down In old Manila Bay, Oughter seen us fight that day, When we sunk the Spanish warships about the first o' May. But she won't be long a fer her boy what's gone to war. We'll be startin' out ter home soon, though it seems almighty far, When there's lovin' hearts a-waftin', lips a-waitin' to be kissedWhen a man's away a-fightin' guess he knows when he is missed.

'Way from home acrost the seas, Take me back, sir, If you please, Set me down in old New England, 'neath the dear old shady trees. Down in old Manila Bay, Oughter seen 118 fight that day, When we licked the Spanish sailors 'long about the first o' May. I am gittin' sick o' fightin'; sinkin' ships la such a snap, An' the forts they have down this way only needs a gentle rap, An' I'm comin' back, my sweetheart, comIn' home to love an' you, Fer the war was all but settled down on old Manila's blue, Down In old Manila Bay, Oh, It's weary miles away, Where the Stars and Stripes are wavin' over old Manila Bay. Down In old Manila Bay, Oughter seen us fight that day, When we gunk the Spanish squadron down in old Manila Bay. -Detroit Free Press.
