COLUMBIA'S BANNER.
"God helping me'," cried Columbus, "though
fair or foul the breeze,
I will sail and sail till I find the land beyond
tbe western seas I"
So as eagle might ?eave its eyrie, bent
though the blue should bar,
To told its wings on the loftiest peak of ac
undiscovered Star !
Aod into the vast and void abyss he followed
the sattiog soo ;
I Nor golfs nor gales could fright bis sails till
the wondrous quest was done,
j But Ob, the weary vigils, the murmuring,
torturing days,
Till the Pinta's gus, and the shoat ol
"Land !" set the black night ablaze !
Till the shore lay fair as Paradise in morn?
ing's balm and gold,
And a world was woo from the conquered
deep, and the tale of the ages told !
Uplift the starry Banner ! The best age is
begun 1
We are the heirs of the marioers whose voy?
age that moro done
Measureless lands Columbus gave and rivers
through zones that roll,
Bot bis rarest, noblest bounty was a New
World for the Soul !
For he 8ailfd from the Past with ns stifling
walls, to the Futore'e open 6ky,
And the ghosts of gloom and fear were laid
as the breath of beaven went by ;
And the pedant's pride and the lordling's
scorn were lost, in the vital air.
As fogs are lost when sun and wind sweep
ocean blue and bare ;
And Freedom and larger Kcowledge dawned
clear, the sky to epao,
The birthright, not of priest or king, but of
every child of man !
Uplift the New World's Banner to greet the
exultant sun !
Let tts rosy gleams still follow bis beams as
swift to tbe west they run,
Till the wide air rings with shoat and hymn
to welcome it shining bigb,
And our eagle from lone Katabdin to Shas
ta's snow can fly
Io the light of its stars as fold on fold id
flung to the autumn sky !
Uplift it Youths and Maidens, with songs
aod loving cheers ;
Through triumphs, raptures, it bas waved
through agonies and tears.
Columbia looks from sea to sea and thrills
with joy to know
Ber myriad sons, as ooe, would leap to
shield it from a foe !
And you who soon will be the State, aod
shape each decree,
Ob, vow to live and die for it, if glorious
death most be !
The brave of all centuries gone this slurry
Flag bave wrought ;
lu dcgeoos dim, on gory fields, its light and
N peace were bought ;
Aod yon who front the future-whose days
our dreams fulfill
On Liberty's immortal height, oh, plaot it
firmer still ?
For it flo?ts for broadest learning ; for the
soul's sopreme release ;
For law disdaining license ; for righteousness
acd peace ;
For valor norn of justice, aed its amplest
scope and plas
Makes a queen of every woman, a king of
every man 1
While forever, like Coinixbos, o'er Truth's
unfathomed main
It pilots to the bidden isles, a grander realm
to gain.
Ab ! wbat a mighty trust is ours, the noblest
ever sung,
To keep this Banner spotless its kindred
Stars ?moog 1
Our fleets nay tarong the oceans-our forts
the headlands crown
Our mines their tressures lavish for mint and

Rich fields and flocks and busy looms bring
plenty, far and wide
And statelier temples deck the land than
Rome's or Athens' pride
Aod science dare tbe mysteries of earth and
brave the sky
Till none with os in splendor and strength
and skill can vie ;
Yet, should we reckon Liberty and Manhood
lee9 than these,
And slight the right of the humblest be?
tween our circling seas- *
Should we be false to our sacred p;st, our
fathers' God forgetting,
This BiOBer would lose its luster, our SUD

B t ?be dawn will sooner forget the east, the

; HIS HEAD LIKES THE HEAT.
I
i
j Dut the XeiCro Always Trios to Kee
?I?.M Heels i 'aol.
It has oi'ioij been said that the ca
paeity of the negro race for enduring
heat has never been fully tested. An
incid?an related by a dairyman livin0
on the outskirts of the city seems to
i bear out this assertion.
This dairyman has a young negro
boy who looks after the cattle and
/loes chores around the place. The on?
ly effect that the heat produces in his
case is a desire to slumber. The dairy?
man had a young calf in the barnyard,
and as the sun was pouring in on the
poor animal his wife sont "Carlina"
out to turu the calf loose, so that he
could seek a shady spot. After wait?
ing an hour for his return the house?
wife went to the barnyard to investi?
gate. There she found both boy and
calf curled up in the hot and stifling
barnyard. The calf was dead from
the effects of the sun, but the boy waa
slumbering peacefully by its side.
While a negro can stand any amount
of heat on his head he loves to cool his
heels. It is a common sight in the
winter to see a negro boy on a frosty
morning with his head bundled up to
keep out the cold and at the same time
walking unconcernedly along the
frosty ground in his bare feet. One of
the hottest places in the city on a hot
day is at the lumber wharfs of the
Florida Central and Peninsular rail?
road. When the men knock off for
noon, they frequently take a nap with
their faces upturned to the rays of the
blazing sun. At the same time they
get their feet under the shadow of
some friendly lumber pile.-Florida
Times-Union.
They Saw the Point.
An American farmer near Guadala?
jara convinced his Mexican neighbors
that oxen can do more work under
American yokes, so generally used in
the republic. The American brought
several modern yokes from the United
States and used them with success.
The curiosity of his Mexican friends
was aroused, and they proceeded to
ask questions.
"Well," said the American, "when
you lasso a steer and the lasso gets
around his neck what do you do?"
"Turn him loose," was the reply.
"Why?"
"Because he's too strong for us that
way."
"That's it," answered the American.
"His strength is in his neck, not in his
horns."
. The Mexicans saw the point, and
now yokes of United States manufac?
ture are generally used in that neigh?
borhood.-Modern Mexico.
A Tale Prom tbe M rater! o mi East?
The last wonderful tale being told
among the Burmese in Rangoon is con?
cerning a monster egg. A few months
ago near Shwebo the villagers heard a
strange and mysterious voice in the
jungle uttering in Burmese the words,
"I am going to lay," which were re?
peated frequently several times a day
for many days. Eventually the egg was
laid, and its size is said to exceed that
of ten large paddy baskets. Nobody
will go mar this egg. from which now
come the words. "I am going to hatch,"
also repeated many times every day.

An Observing Puppy.
A rector writes from Honiton. Eng
land, to The Spectator to record an in?
stance of a very high order of intelli?
gence in an animal, of a power of rea?
soning as distinct from any acquired
instinct:
"I have a bullpup. aged 10 months,
and a bulldog 4 years old, both of
which live in the house and are great
pets. A short time ago my wife was
UL and, though the older dog, owing to
his quiet and sedate way, was allowed
to enter her room, the puppy was nev?
er admitted. The nurse could always
tell which dog was at the door, because
the older dog gave one single and gen?
tle scratch and then remained quiet,
while the puppy scratched violently
and frequently and whined. The puppy
apparently could not understand why
she was not admitted, and felt her ex?
clusion sorely.
"One day she scratched furiously as
usual. No notice was taken. Present?
ly she was heard going Hop-flop down
stairs. In a few minutes the single
gentle scratch of the old dog was
heard, the door was opened, and there
were both dogs, and, strange to say.
from that time the puppy so imitated
the scratch of the other dog that it
was impossible to tell which was at
the door. Undoubtedly the puppy went
and asked the old dog to show her
how he gained admission. IIow else
can one explain the fact?"
Lighting tx Cigar.
According to an observant Philadel
phian whose business is to sell cigars,
the careless smoker is largely respon?
sible for the big dividends match man?
ufacturers enjoy.
"Just watch it any time," he remark?
ed a few days ago. "and see if I am
not correct. The average smoker of a
cigar will talk or think regardless of
his weed until it goes out. Then he
will suddenly discover the absence of
the lire which makes a eigai enjoyable.
Out from his pocket comes a match,
and in an instant it has been struck
and the lighted lucifer placed against
the cigar end.
"In his eagerness to get another light,
however, the smoker has, in nine cuses
out of ten. forgotten to knock the
ashes off Iiis weed. As a result the
flame from the match fails to pene?
trate thc ash heap, aud iii" match
linnie doesn't cut any iigure. I've seen
lt so many times thal 1 don"! hiuuh :\i
it any more, hut ii must he fi:;:ny io \
casual onlookers. After this when your {
cigars go out before thev are co>: unuod ?
- i
be sure and knock the ashes off ? lore '
trying io relight them. Th? n you v .i! I
stand a lair chance of securing another '
light and :ii the same ??mc pul a kink j

A Raise In Salary.
Sonic years ago Collis P. Hunting?
ton's private secretary. Mr. Miles, ask
ed for an increase of salary.
"Do you need any more money?"
asked Mr. Huntington thoughtfully.
"No. sir. I don't exactly ueed ir," re
plied Mr. Miles, "but. still. Pd be glad
to be getting a little more/'
"Ah-hum-m-m." mused his employ?
er, ..(...m you get along without the
advance fur the pr?sent V"
"Oh, yes," answered the secretary,
"I guess so," aud the matter was drop?
ped.
A couple ci years later a new boy ap?
peared cit the Miles home, and the sec?
retary thought the time propitious to
renew the application. "Why. my dear
sir," said Mr. Huntington when he
heard him through. "I raised your sal?
ary when you asked me before."
"I never heard anything about it,"
said thc secretary in amazement.
"Probably not," returned Mr. Hunt?
ington. "In fact, I used that money to
buy a piece of property for you. I'd
just let it staud for awhile if I were
you."
Mr. Miles thanked him warmly am!
retired somewhat mystified. Shortly
after Mr. Huntington called him into
his private office. "By the way. Miles."
he said, "I have sold that real estate of
yours at a pretty good advance. Here
is the check."
The amount was $50,000. The prop?
erty was part of a large section pur?
chased by the railway king as sin in?
vestment for his wife.-San Francisco

A Live Bird on net Heit.
One Chicago girl's hat made a sensa?
tion in the women's lunchroom at the
Auditorium yesterday. She came in
from Michigan avenue and stopped for
a moment in the parlor. While there
she noticed a youug sparrow flutter in
through the open window and wheel
once or twice around the room. She
felt it brush against her hat in Its
flight, but thought no more of it and
passed on into the lunchroom. She had
picked up the" bill of fare and was
reading it when she felt that some one
was watching her, and, glancing
around, she discovered that she was a
focusing point for all the eyes in the
immediate vicinity.
Of course she blushed and colored up
and began to wouder at the cause of
the people's interest. Just then the
waiter, who had been hovering around,
noticed her confusion and, bending
down, whispered, "Pahdon me, miss,
but dab's a live buhd on yo' hat."
And then instead of going into hys?
terics she calmly said: "Thank you.
Will you please shoo it off?"
And the waiter "shooed" the sparrow
toward a nearby window, while the
owner of the hat fixed it on straight
and proceeded to order her luncheon.

Good He Didn't Accept.
During the second Dreyfus court
martial. M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire,
ex-president of the civil section of the
cour de cassation, who was bitter
against the accused captain, received
a very polite letter dated from the
Chateau de Prefargier, near Neu
chatel, in Switzerland, and signed,
"A de Prefargier." praising him for
his efforts in the Dreyfus case and in?
viting him to come and stay at the
writer's residence.
M. de Beaurepaire replied in his
usual flowery style, saying he would
continue the struggle as loug as he had
strength, and that he would remain at
the breach like a valiant soldier to set
an example of duty to God and the
fatherland, even should he stand alone.
He did not positively decline the invi?
tation, holding out hopes that some day
he might be free to accept it.
