Admiral Schloy.
They're fighting the battle all over
again;
The big guns are booming once
more;
And Sampson today lingers far, far
'away
While Schley bears the brunt as be
fore. On the old fighter's track the entire
snarling pack
Have followed with hue and with
cry,
Till now, when he faces them all, they
slink back
From the sight of brave Admiral
Schley.
When heroes were needed, he stood on
the bridge
And met the proud navy of Spain.
He .followed it on till the battle was
won
And its vessels went down in the
main.
When heroes are honored he's slighted
and spurned,
While others are praised to the sky.
He yet is deprived of the glory he
earned,
Our gallant old Admiral Schley.
But though he's insulted by puppets
in power,
The people are slow to forget.
They only await a more fortunate hour
To crown him in victory yet.
His fame is secure. When the scroll
is unrolled
His name will be written on high
'Mid those of our gallant sea-fighters
of old,
Made brighter by Admiral Schley.
The man who is right can afford to re
pose ' ..
In the homage and love of the just;
To reckon that Time is his friend; and
his foes i -v
At last will go down in the dust.
The victim of hate with assurance can
" wait
For wrong and detraction to die.
The world holds a crown of esteem and
renown , : '
For the brow pf brave Admiral
Schley.

"I have gained twenty-five pounds
since I left off coffee and becan drink
ing Postum Food Coffee in its place.
I had become very thin in flesh and
suffered tortures witli heartburn, was
a nervous wreck with headache prac
tically all the time until one dreadful
day when the good doctor told me I
must quit drinking coffee, as he had
nothing left to try, to relieve me.
I could not drink tea and had tried
everything else, even Postum, but put
it by at the first trial, because it was
tasteless.
. Forced to It again, I determined to
see if it could not be made palatable
and found at once that when I followed
directions and boiled it long enough,
that I not only liked it but gave it to
my husband for several days without
his finding it out. I have the name
of making splendid coffee, and we al
ways used the best, but of late I have
given Postum to guests many times in
place of coffee and have never been
detected yet.
"Our four children have not drank
coffee for three years, and all have
gained health and flesh since using
Postum. One son, who was always
sick, has been greatly benefited by Its
use, and as above stated, I have gained
twenty-five pounds since taking up
Postum. I am healthier today than I
have been for years and give Postum
all the credit. Please do not use my
namo in public,"
This lady lives in Burlington, Iowa,
and the namo will bo furnished by the
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek,
Mich., to those interested.

This is a death rate of not far from
200 per 1,000 per annum. Ten times
the normal average death rate of civ

all Kitchener's "reconcentrados" dying
every year! And yet the same Britons

A Good Point.
Editor Bryan makes a good point
against the hysterical republican pa
pers who are trying to fasten the re
sponsibility of the assassination of
President McKinley on the newspapers
which criticised the president and his
advisers, when he remarks that an
archy flourished best in those coun
tries where tho freedom of tho press
and speech is a thing unknown. An
archy is not the result of free criticism
but rather the result of the absence
of it. St. Paul (Minn.) Globe.
