In Ravin's laud a moan of woe. Where mothers tlee and children hide: Stained porches whore tho brave have died,
With lipB that cried to Maceo!
A banner through an island blown! A trocba rent with knives and spears! A challenge, writ In blood and tears,
Nailed with a dagger to a throne!
A yellow face! A grizzled mane! A Cuban jungle-lion dead! And o'er a gashed, heroic head,
The monstrous j&ckal-yclp of Spain!
Bound heroes torn by coward guns. And thrown to bloat where vultures sail! The sick air heavy with tho wail
Ot Rizpah for her mangled sons!
And Murder's fangs were foul with blood, And Hunger's maniac-howling stirred Tho heart of hell with shame, and blurred
With tears the awfal eyes of God!
At last the northern giant woke, And rescue's voice was southward blown! Tho fleets of steel came creeping down.
And veiled the seas with battlesmoke!
From shores of oak to shores of fir The brave Atlantic roared her call, And deep behind the mountain wall
Balboa's ocean answered her!
And startled kings from over-sea Beheld a mighty flag unfold To one vastcheor that under-rolled
The arches of immensity!
In freedom's sky was set a siirn Whose splendor dimmed her stars of gold, liike that strange cross that flamed of old
Before the eyes of Constantlne!
For, limned In lire that all may see, On Glory's battle-flag ullaunt, Behold, the iron hand of Grant
Closed In tho comrade grasp of Lee!
And by that sign we conquer! Lord Have mercy for tho brave who die! But they who mock tho martyr's cry
Must feel tho vengeance of the sword!

Sunday morning about 8 o'clock Arthur Graham :ited at tlie homo of his mother, Mrs. (i. W. Paul, on fiouth Water street. The day was the tvven-ty-uighth anniversary of his birth and by a strange chance his death fell not only on his, birthday but on the very hour of the day which marked his nativity. Lie had been ill for several weeks with typhoid fever but until within a few days previous to his death a serious termination of his sickness was not expected. lie was conscious almost to the last and passed quietly away after bidding the family farewell.
Arthur Graham was a son of the late James Graham, for many years a leading business man of this city. Lie was born here and here he passed a greater portion of his short life For some mouths past ue had been doing a corn-

Most of the people of this city will remember Mrs. Friend, who with her 6on and mother, Mrp. Freshman and her sisters, Misses Lottie, Estelle and Nellie Freshman, resided here some years ago. After the marriage of Miss Estelle, Mrs. Friend moved back to Cincinnati. Her son, Master Karl, seems to have military longings.

from the
& N. station. When asked to join them he did so, and went as far as Chattanooga, where he fell in with the Seventh LJ. S. A., Colorado, and went to Tampa with Company C. He worked for Captain VauOrsdale in the capacity of orderly. When the Seventh boarded the Iroquois transport No. 25 to go to Cuba with General Shatter, Friend went on board, but being only 15 years of age was ordered off ship by Colonel Benham, command ing the Seventh regiment. Friend made a second attempt to board the same transport, and stowed away in the hold. The transport was half a mile from shore when he was discovered. He was put in one of the ship's boats and compelled^to row ashore. He hunted up the First O V. I. and remained with Company for three weeks. The officers told Friend that owing to his age he would not be allowed to go to Cuba. The men raised enough money by subscription to send him back to Cincinnati. He arrived Thursday morning. Friend said:" 'It's blooming hot at Tampa and the rain comes down in bucketfuls every day. The boys treated me fine. Captain VanOredile treated me especially well. He would have let me gone to fight the Spaniards, but Colonel Benham said no. It was like missing a fortune to be fired off that transport. The soldiers tried to hide me but couldn't succeed. The life of an orderly iB a rushing one—messages from reveille at 5, to taps at 9 o'clock—and you are on your feet all that time except for meals. We weren't afraid of yellow fever at Tampa, but typhoid and malaria fevers are beginning to get the best of the boys. Tho hospitals and the Y. M. C.

Pearl Smith, the fourteen-year-old 6on of Lambert Smith, of Lapland, died last Saturday at 13:30 o'clock. For four years the poor boy had been a cripple from rheumatism and this with a complication of other diseases finally caused his death. The funeral took place at the home on last Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock, the interment being at the Masonic cemetery in this city.

BUCK OVERHAULED.
The lloi-so Thief Is TiiUcn nt rccticii-if le »{y ho Suspicions UIM of That Classic lvlac*.
Frnnk Buck, who skipped two or three days ago with a horso and buggy belonging to horse trader Irons, bus been captured and is now safe in jail. Instead of going to Attica he went south and on Thursday was arrested ou suspicion at Greencastle. Ho drove from here in the night and near Greencastle applied for work at the farm of AlbertAlbaugb. Albaugh gavo him work and at onco sent to town for the shcrilY, he being suspicious of a man who applied for work while in possession of a now buggy and a good horse. The sheriff came ambling out in the guise of horse trader and dually struck a bargain with Buck, agreeing to give him S10 for the horse and $25 for the buggy. Ilosaid ho would have to go to town for the money and when he returned he brought with him a warrant. Buck made a great roar and after telling several different stories he finally acknowledged to having run off from this city with a mortgaged horse. The sheriff awaited for a couple of days and then he notified the authorities here. Ho was instructed to bring Buck to this city last Saturday.
When Buck was arraigned in the mayor's court last Saturday after his arrival in the custody of the sheriff, ho failed to show auy cause for his release and was accordingly bound over to the circuit court in the sum of S300 This he failed to givo and ho was sent to jail.,.
.Couldn't l)riv« Him A \v:iv. Constable Heruley had sorije funny ex-periences in his work on the violators of the dog law but none struck him quite so ludicrously as the care of the Williams family in the east end. It was reported that this family was harboring a big dog so Mr. Ilernley was armed with a warrant and sent to bring the offender down. Ho found only tho Williams woman at home when he called and when they learned his mission they were greatly aggrieved. They admitted that a dog had been about the premises but they assured tho ollicer that ho had originally come to them without solicitation and had remained in spite of protest. Said Mrs. Williams Jr., "That onery dog came hero when wo didn't want him and we just couldn't drive him away. He's been basted by every rock and club in this end of town by us as we tried to drive him off but he wouldn't go. We have shot him and tied cane on his tail but he always comes back. We took him ten miles in the country and threw him in the ereek with a stone around his neck. We saw him sink but he was home before we were. My husband gave him poison and put him in a box car bound for Louisville but a few days later when that car came back the dog was in it and got off tickled to death. We shipped him in all directions but he always came back. We can't kill him and vce can't drive him away although we try every day of the world." Naturally tho constable expressed a wish to see so remarkable an animal and was escorted to the rear of the dwelling to gaze upon his charms. His surprise was considerable to find the dog tied to a six inch stake with a fourteen pound trace chain. To further insure his presence on the premises the stake was driven in the floor of the wood house the door of which was locked.
A Crack Shot.
Charley Johnson,of east Main street, made a fine shot the other day while out in the woods with his little son, He was on a hill above Walnut Fork when his son called his attention to a chicken hawk which was circling above them nearly two handred yards in air. Mr. Johnson took a deliberate aim about two feet in advance of the bird and let drive. The hawk was noticed to pause in its light, then to waver and finally to collapse. 11 came tumbling down and fell almost at tho feet of the marksman. When high in the air it looked to be a hawk of only ordinary size, but when stretched out on tho ground it proved to be a monster of its kind. It measured four feet and seven inc.ies from tip to tip and its beak and talons wore in magnificent form. Unfortunately tho bird was moulting and its plumage was in a condition which did not justify its mounting. The bullet had struck the bird in the breast bone and had come out of its neck. Mr. Johnson brought the gun home as a trophy of his skill and as evidence to his friends that he had really made so remarkable a shot.

D, M. Geeting, superintendent of public instruction, went to Lafayette 1 hursday to talk witli tho managers of the Soldiers' Homo about a plan he has for the observance of Indiana day in tho public schools, December II, the S2d anniversary of the admission of Indiana into tho uuion of states. His idea is that the public school children shall engage in a sort of patriotic celebration on that day. anil that ovory pupil shall bo asked to contribute a penny, the money contributed to bo used in erecting a cottage at the Btate Soldiers' Homo, Ho says that if the suggestion moots with favor, a uniform programme for all tho schools will be prepared in his oflico and sent out to teachers in due time.
There aro 700,000 school children in tho state, and he points out that if each of them contributes a penny, tho sum contributed will erect a handsome cottage at tho Soldiers' Homo. "It seems to mo that it would all be a lesson in patriotism that would bo lasting," said the superintendent. "I would suggest that wo have an Indiana day every year. In tho event that suflicient money is contributed to build a cottage, it can bo dedicated on the anniversary tho following year, and appropriate exercises might be held in all the schools."

Messrs. Rath bono and Smith of the nostoflice department are in the city and with Hon. F. M. Dice, tho special agent of tho rural freo delivery experimenters and with Postmaster Bonnell they went over tho routo recommended by Governor Mount for an experiment of the practical workings of rural delivery. The routo is the road from this city to Shannondalo and in going over it this morning it was found that 130 families would bo benefitted by the routo and it was accordingly established. A mail agent will be chosen at once and tho delivery will bo begun about August tho first. Tho agent will leave Crawfordsville about nine o'clock each morning and will deliver the mail to each house along tho road. Tho route does not include tho town of Shannondale itself but all the houses on or near the road between this town and that.
On Monday Messrs. Dice, Rathbone and Smith will go over a second proposed routo. This starts south on the Ladoga road and at tho Epperson corner turns west and strikes tho Greencastle road at the old Swindler place, returning thenee to Crawfordsville. This route is regarded as even more suitable to free delivery than the Shannondale rovd.

The speedy colt, Una Flora, died last Monday of pleurisy, and M. J. Callahan is feeling that he liaa had more tough luck than any one. The colt was one of tho most promising pacers in the west and while never marked had repeatedly gone a mile in 2:17, atone time knocking it off in 2:15. The colt was splendidly bred and gavo promise of being a record breaker. Mr. Callahan had refused a thousand dollars for him several times and would not have sold him for fifteen hundred. He had $300 insurance in tho Indiaua Live Stock Insurance company of this city. The colt contracted his illness from a plug which was quartered in the same building.
