SONG OF THE DRUM.
Do you hear my summons-hammer through
the crackle and the clamor
Do you feel my throb and thrill?
When 1 meet the smell of powder, oh, my
merry note grows louder,
And my song shall not be still.
Follow, each beside his fellow, neath the
vapors gray and yellow,
Wildly cheering, sternly dumb.
And rumble, rumble, rumble, when the
smoke wreathes toss and lumDle,
You shall hear the rolling drum.
Follow the drum!
Men forget their fears and follies as they
face the blinding volleys,
Ar.d the young recruits they come.
With their simple sunburnt faces, from the
quiet country places.
To the call of me, the drum.
Come, plowboy, lad and carter and your
lifeblood freely barter
For the bullet sure for some.
And rattle, rattle, rattle, through the din
and roar of battle,
You shall hear the rolling drum.
Follow the drum!
When the boys that follow fast there, drop
aside and fall at last there,
From the surging lines of red,
Thin no more of pomp and ruffle, my notes
awhile I muffle,
And I moan and mourn the dead.
But the losing battle needs me, and the
whistling bullet speeds me;
Through the reeling ranks 1 come.
And c'aiter, clatter, clatter, where the
broken regiments scatter.
You shall hear the rolling drum.
Follow the drum!

MEDALS FOR WAR HEROES.
Emperor of Germany to Present to
Gens. Stoessel and Nogi the
Order of Merit.
The emperor of Germany has secured
permission from the czar of Russia and
the mikado of Japan and will present to
Gen. Stoessel, the gallant defender of
THC MEDAL OF MERIT
Port Arthur, and to Gen. Nogi, its cap
tor, the order of merit,, of which cmr
illustration gives a good idea.
THE MODERN GENERAL.
He Sits in His Headquarters’ Office
Miles in the Rear of the
Battle.
To-day circumstances place a com-!
mander completely out of sight of his I
army. He is usually located at least. fO :
or 15 miles from the firing line, and in |
many instances is even farther away.
He sits in a room, whence radiate tele
phone and telegraph fines to the re
motest portions of the field, placing him
in instantaneous communication with
his principal subordinates. The famous
painting of Napoleon at Austerliti rep
resents, in the papula* eye, a command
ing general directing a great battle, but
it belongs to the warfare of the past. The
artist who aspires to depict the direction
of a modern battle, says Thomas F. Mil
lard, in Scribner’s, must show a man
seated on a table on which is spread a
huge map dotted with little liags indi
cating the location of the opposing,
forces, with an ordinary desk telephone
at his elbow. In an adjoining room ;s
located a switchboard, where sit alert
■ operators ready to connect the com
mander with any of the field headquar
ters. From this room, also, comes the
steady clicking of a score af telegraph
instruments, busily receiving and send
ing messages. But for the military uni
forms of the messengers and tin going
of staff officers the man at the table
might be a stock operator directing,
through his brokers, a deal in steel or
railroad securities. Even the stenogra
pher at his elbow is not lacking, but
sits quietly taking messages under dicta
, tion. to be transmitted presently by
telegraph. Other officers copy these
messages and file them away, after put
ting them under a time-recording stamp,
to show the hour they were sent, so that
afterward delinquencies may be located
and responsibilities fixed. Thus, apart
I from the excitement and horrors of the
battlefield, a general sits at his desk and
* | calmly directs the battle. He hears that
' this attack has been repulsed, that re
enforcements are needed here, that am
: munition is running low tnere, that tma
1 division has been cut into pieces, tbs’:
; these troops have been two days with
| out food, and so on. along his 40 miles
of front, and takes his measures accord
ingiy. This picture is not fanciful.
With due allowance for the fallibility of
all human devices when subjected to the
strain of abnormal conditions, it is sub
stantially correct.
Great Scheme.

a lot of local color in his new book or.

CRANT AND MEXICO.
Gen. Horace Porter's Recollections of
Gen. Lew Wallace's Mex
ican Mission.
"Gen. Lew Wallace's secret mission
to the Rio Grande was one of the
most interesting episodes of our civil
war,” was the remark of Gen. Hor
ace Porter, who served on Gen.
Grant's staff and acted as his military
secretary while he occupied ti, t-i
dential chair. “Gen Wallace. i
ter, as published by the World. . cor
rect so far as the military gi.—c
is concerned. Late in lSti4. Gen
Grant saw that the movement of Na
poleon III. to establish an empire in
Mexico was not only a flagrant viola
tion of the Monroe doctrine, but also
a real menace to the United States.
As commanding general of all the fed
eral armies he looked upon the land
ing of Maximilian as an effort on the
part of the French to annoy our gov
ernment. He saw that the success ot
Bazaine would afford the confeuerates
a wider door for the admission of arms
and war munitions.
“Taking this view, Gen. Grant had
frequent conversations with President
Lincoln and Secretary Stanton, whom
he convinced that the confederates were
in possession of a large part of the bor
der line between Texas and Mexico, so
that should the patriot forces under
Juarez be overwhelmed by the French
levies on their way to support Maxi
milian, the confederate government
would be able to avoid our blockade
along the southern Atlantic coast and
replenish their stores of war material
by way of Vera Cruz. Gen. Grant
thought it very possible that Napoleon
would finally recognize the confed
eracy.
“Gen. Wallace was in command of
the middle military division, with head
quarters at Baltimore. The command
ing general knew him to be an intelli
gent officer, who, having served during
the war with Mexico, was familiar with
the country. ^Wallace was summoned,
therefore, to City Point and given his
instructions. 1 have always understood
that Gen. Wallace performed his task
to Gen. Giant’s entire satisfaction, for
he ascertained, the precise conditions of
the Mexican patriotic forces, as well as
the actual strength of Maximilian. This
action of Gen. Grant was entirely prop
er. for he was in active command of all
our troops, and as a strategist it be
hooved him to have an eye on Mexico
as a possible source of danger in pro
longing the civil war. This action
w as approved by President Lincoln and
his secretary of war.
“That was a very critical period ot
the war. Though Gen. Grant was
aware that the confederacy was on its
last, legs because of the success of our
armies in the field and the rigor of
the blockade of all southern seaports,
he saw' the real attitude of France,
and feared that Napoleon’s success in
Mexico might give the confederates
fresh hope. That was why he sent Gen.
Wallace down there, and his subsequent
action closed, this Mexican backdoor for
ever to the confederates.
"it is not generally known that alter
the surrender ol the confederate arm
ies under Lee and Johnston. Gen.
Giant assembled 50,000 veteran troops
from the western armies on the Rio
Grande. placing them under command
of Gen. Sheridan. These were retained
in s rvice long after the great bulk of
the volunteer forces had been mustered
out, ami it was tneir presence on the
border line under so distinguished a
general which led to the final with
drawal cf Bazaine and the bulk of the
French truapa'.
"That withdrawal was the beginning
of the end. ior Maximilian, alter a
desultory campaign or two. was at
length, surrounded by Juarez's armies,
made a prisoner am. executed. I also
know that had the Mexicans continued
unsuccess!n'„ Gen. Grant intended to
urge the United States government to
organize an army for the purpose of
driving Maximilian from the soil of
Mexico.
“The details concerning bends and
purchase of arms for Mexico, as given
in Gen. Wallace’s letter, are very in
teresting, as they afford a hitherto
sacred page of our history."
Gen. Sheridan in his "Memoirs" gives
the details of his instructions from Gen.
Jrant relative to occupying the Texan
frontier, which would seem to corrobo
rate what is stated above.—N'. Y. World.
Hovel Insomnia Remedy.
IF a recent book Mr, Stan pool O’Dell
i puts, forward a novel, remedy for sleep
! less ness. He says: Take a card about
the size of a sheet of foolscap and obtain
a bottle of luminous paint. Write with
the paint upon the card the words Sleep
—Sleep—Sleep, large and clear. Plan
| this card in the daytime where the light
I will get at it. and at night time in such
a position on the wall or on a screen that
you will have to lift up your eyes in or
der to look at it while you are lying ii.
your easiest position on the bed—that
is to say. the position in which you gen
erally go to sleep. As you see the il
luminated words, repeat them to your
self in a monotonous manner. As th
! eyelids become tired let them close.
! You will not in most cases repeat the
words very often before sleep brings on
forgetfulness.— Humanitarian.
A Camel Experiment.
It is not generally known that 50
years ago the war department imported
a number of camels and started a camel
breeding farm in Texas. The camels did
well and were useful, but "they fright
ened horses,” and the railroads through
i the deserts put them out of business.
A Suggestion.
He—I can never think of the right,
thing to say at the right time!
She—Why don't you try saying the
right, thing sometimes even if you get
in the wrong place?—Detroit Free

Keep

It is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and soinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; i£
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
