few batteries and 110 large bodies of
enemy trooi>s to be located. As for
bomb dropping, that is only effective
against highly organized military col
umns, railroad stations or concentra
tion camps. The aeroplane will be used
chiefly to carry messages. The whole
strategy of the campaign in a nutshell
Is this: Advance a few miles, capture
a village, disarm the inhabitants and
take over its administration; police it,,
clean it up, dig sewers, j>erfeet the san
itation, then move to the next village.
* "Our men have four or live road
scrapers in Mexico now. The job of
road building will continue to be im
portant, If only to keep lines of com
munication open. The cavalry proba
bly would play a less and less impor
tant part in the lighting. It has al
ready proved a disappointment. Not
that It isn't of the highest gallantry,
but because there is no forage for the
horses, which, therefore, became a great
burden on the transport system, al
ready suffering tremendous dlfliculties
because of the impassable nature of the
country. So the Infantry will do the
lighting, which would be much like that
of the Boer war. The enemy is of the

men do against these unhappy i^eons?
Shoot them down, gradually unearth
the hidden rifles, arrest the suspicious

THE BIVOUAC OF THE
DEAD.
(Written to commemorate heroes
who fell lit the Mexieun wiy. IMrt-S. )
Ttll'i muffled drum'* sud roll
has heat
The soldier's last tattoo.
No more on Ufa's parade
shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And Glory guards, with solemn
round.
The bivouac of the dead
No rumor of the foe's advance
Npw swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought ut midnight
haunts
Of loved ones left behind;
No vision of tho morrow's strife
The warrior's dream nhirms:
No braying horn nor screaming fife
. At dawji shall call to arms
The neighing troop, the flashing
blado.
The bugle's stirring blast.
The charge, tho dreadful cannonade.
The din and shout are past.
# Nor war's wild note, nor glory's
peal.
Shall thrill with fierce delight
ThOBe breasts that never more may
, feel .
The rapture of the fight.
Thus 'neath their parent turf they
rest
Par from the gory field, ,
Borne to a Spartan mother's breast
On many a bloody shield.
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here.
And kindred eyes and hearts watch
by
The hero's sepulcher.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted
dead,
? Dear as the blood ye gave! ,
No impious footsteps here shall
tread
The herbage of your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot
, % While Fame her recortl koeps
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's volceful stone
In deathless song shall toll
When many a vanished age has
flown
The story how ye fell.
Nor wreck nor change nor winter's
blight
Nor time's remorseless doqm
Can dim one ray of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

KEEP YOUR SHOES NEAT
TbF.R.MInC^Ud. Buffalo* N. Y.
A watch is intended to tell you the time of day. Unless
it does this accurately it is worse than useless, for it is
like the man you cannot depend upon. Many a man has
twenty-five or thirty dollars tied up in a watch which is
worthless when if he would invest a dollar or two for
having it repaired he would get the full value of it.
Often a watch which does not keep proper time needs
regulating for which we make no charge. If it needs re
pairing our prices are more than reasonable, and our
work is guaranteed.
