Grand in their prime they went tq war, Not for conquest or thirst for blood, Ilut scenting danger from afar, An Imading liostth-y withstood. Their manly breasts opposed the flood, That ou their institutions same; Nor trembled at the sight of blood, Nor lingered when their hopes seeuicl Unequal was the great contest, Interior men would hac quailed; llravcly they bared their manly breasts, Their constitutions were nswiltd. They thought their constitutions right. To their foes they had done no wrong; They died before invading might, . They live in patriotic song. The caure for which they bled and died, In an unsettled state remains; Shall state rights forever abide, Or imperialism reign? They died but their cause stilt survives, Future generations will know That their rights have been kept alhe lly blood which from martjrs did flow. Sleep on, braves, you died not in vein, Your mart r blood is still tho seed That will spring up in us again, In our loved country's greatest need.

City council mot Tuesday night with Mayor Shnnahan presiding to take some action upon tho re monstrance of certain property owners to the building of a big hay barn on the Katy right-of-way near the Groen hotel. The company had already de cided to erect tho barn north of the Frisco track near the stock yards, but the ordinance commit tee presented an ordinance that w.ib adopted extending the fire limits from Thompson street (the street running north and south in front ol the Methodist church) on the west to First street on the east. First street is tho thorough fare which the residence of Chiel Bu(Iington faceB. The north and south limits wero not changed. The only further business was to admonish City Scavenger Fore man to moro diligently perform his Inborn or be removed lrom his "sit" which payB $35 a month. Break For Liberty. The well laid plans oi 14 des perate men, federal prisoners in the hold-over, to make their es cape was frustrated by tho timely discovery Weduesday of Deputy Marshal Pies Thompson. Tho officer became awaro of a slight rumor that some pris oners wore possessed of two knives and intended to make a breik for liberty. Mr. Thompson worked on the rumor until Wednesday when with, Jailer Barker, he con fronted the 14 men in the west cell. They denied all knowledge of having any weapons or tools and eaid they liked the place very well and did not want to break away from their happy home. A thorough search was made and two wicked. looking knives aud a big file wero found. Tho prisoners had a hole about lo feet rquaro cut in the floor. This was cleverly covrired and it is thought that they intended to mako their break tonight. The men were heavily shackled and the hola in tho floor repaired.

The thought of a number ol writers seems lo be that America iB to have a language all her own. There is no doubt but that the EnRlieh language is becoming so altered by Americanisms that it Is losinc its identity. Many are re gretting the prevalence of slang, and the American propensity to coin new phrases and the disre gard for grammatical rules which is so common. The words "knowed," "Mowed," "busted" and "cussed," with a number of others, will probably win their way in because of their common prevalence. The numerous localisms will furnleh considrrable coloring for our American language when it is formed, and probably the Ameri can voice will have marked char acteristics. The "America voice" is already being refered to in some what uncomplimentary terms by people of other countries and per haps not without just cause. American customs nnd costumes, too, no doubt have exerted an in fluence on the voice. But both poetry and fiction have patd high tribute to the solt melodious voices of the people of our own South land and to them will be the hon or if tho "American voice" iB saved from adverse criticism. Some one has Baid that voice is "Tone Colored Breath," and has called the larynx "a living Aeolian harp" through wbiph tho "soft and elastic emissions of air from the lungs strengthen and beautify the voice." If our girls would take up voice culture not merely for Binglng and public elocutionary work, but for common conversation as well, what a ttnnsformation there would he among tho "shrilling school girls" as Lowell called them. Enlarging the compass and gain ing full control of the voioe de pends greatly upon proper breath ing, and perhaps nothing influ ences the breathing habits as the manner in which clothing is worn. Good ventilation and proper clothing are tho chief requisites (or good breathing and oil tores ere productive of good health, but so many girls caro not a Bnap whether they endanger or preserve their health, that this sentence is as cood as thrown away. Their chle( desire is to be attractive now and they caro not that they may become v .oly old women, But It is poBstuVfor them, U they so desire, to nosanss or acquire a f - m RKTCLIFFS. . lviucn ut it is caubeu uy in iuiuilj snoes.

Goods. charm, and by having some con sideration 'n tho dear old lady thoy may some time become they might acquire added beauty also. No matter how hard girls try to appear refined if they really aro not, theii voice will betray them. It wi8 Emerson who Bald, "the voice )b a delicate index of tho stato of the mind." It is a fact we regretfully ac knowledge that the common American voice is not a refined one. And It does not always be long to the women and girls. Gladstone once said, "Many a man in obscurity might rise to the highest rank if he were far seeing enough to train his voice and body as well as his mind." The pure, clear well disciplined voice of n public speaker is a pow er with an audience. "Voice may be manufactured," says Delsarte, put vour heart in the place of tho larnyx, and there will always be enough voice for attentive listeners." Just anoth er way of saying "Out ol the abundance of the heart the mouth epeaketh." "Soothing tones" is not merely a poetical expression. Music is medicinal, llomer believed this and refers repeatedly lo tho heal ing qualities of music. Modern science places valuoupon music as a cure for certain mental diseases It is altogether probablo, too, that battles have been won on oc count of music. Souls havo been saved from destruction because of a song. Who of us would care to forget the iotigs our mothers or our fathers have sung to us in our childhood. The band music, tbo stringed instruments, the pipe organ, are grand and delightful but the human voice tn its beauty and influence is superior to them all, so must Emerson have thought when bo wrote, "The sweetest muBto Is not in tho ora torio, but in the human voice when it speaks lrom its instant life tonoB ot tenderness, truth and courage, rue oratorio lias aireauy lost its relation to the morning, to the sun and tho eailh, but that persuading voioe is in tune with these." "When a man lives with God his voice shall be as sweet as tho murmur of the brook and the rustle of the corn." M. Curky'Strktoh. Treaty Is Sale Col, W . T.
