When you've shouted "Rule Britannia"—when you've sung "God Save the Queen"— When you've finished killing Kruger with your mouth- Will you kindly drop a shilling in my little tambourine For a gentleman in kharki ordered South ? He's an absent minded beggar and his weaknesses are great— But we and Paul must take him as we find him— He is out on active service, wiping something off a slate— And he left a lot o' littile things behind him ! Duke's son—cook's son—son of a hundred kings— (Fifty thousand horse and foot going to Table Bay '.) Each of 'em doing his country's work (and who's to look after their things?) Pass the hat for your credit's sake and pay ! pay ! pay ! There are girls he married secret, asking no permission to. For he knew he wouldn't get it if he did. There is gas and coal »nd vittles and the house-rent falling due, Aud it's more than rather likely there's a kid. There are girls he walked with casual. They'll be sorry now he's gone For an absent minded beggar they will Hod him; But it ain't the time for sermons with the winter coming on— We must help the girl that Tommy's left behind bim. Cook's son—Duke's son—son of a belted Earl- Son of a Lambeth publican—it's all the same today ! Each of 'em doing his country's work (aud who's to look after the girls ? Pass the hat for your creditor's sake, and pay ! pay! pay ! There are families by the thousand, far too proud to beg or speak, And they'll put their sticks and bedding up the spout, And they'll live on half o' nothing paid 'em punctual once a week. For the man that earns the wage is ordered out. He's an absent-minded beggar, but he heard his country call, And his regiment didn't need to semi to find him; He chucked his job and joined it. So tbe job before ns all Is to keep the home that Tommy's left behind him ! Duke's job—cook'B job—gardner. baronet, groom- Mews or palace or paper shop—there's some one gam away ! Each of 'em doing his country's work (and whose to look after the room V) Pass the hat for your credit's sake, and pay ! pay ! pay ! Let us mtnage so as later we can look him in the face, And tell him—what he'd very much prefer- That while he saved the Empire his employer paved his place, And his mates (that's you and me) looked out for her. He's an absent-minded beggar, and he may forget it all. But we do not want his kiddies to remind him That we sent 'em to the work-house while their daddy hammered Paul, So we"ll help the homes our Tommy's left behind him ! Cook's home—Duke's home—home of a millionaire, (Fifty thousand horse and loot going to Table Bay !) Each of 'em doing his country's work (and what have you to spare?) Pass the bat for your credit's sake, and pay ! pay ! pay ! Consistency is a Jewel. Back in 1888 Wm. McKinley, then a member of the House of Representa tives, attacked the then Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Fairchild. for hav ing distributed among banks without interest fully $59,000,000 of surplus money, that, as he put it, ought to be in the Treasury, and he charged, with particular eloquence and indignation, that the President of lhe United States and his administration were solely responsible for the congested condition of the Treasury and the alarm that existed about the currency situation. So indignant, indeed, was Congress man McKinley concerning this outrage that in the Republican convention of 1888, he, as chairman of the committee on resolutions, saw that into the plat form was put a denunciation of 'The Democratic policy of loaning the gov ernment moneys without interest to pet banks.' It is estimated that before the distri bution of money to banks now begun is completed, there will be $129,000,000 thus deposited in pet banks without interest, which they will loan out at from 6 to 10 per cent. This is the policy which the successful McKinley adopts, and is exactly the policy which the McKinley struggling upward to ward eminence denounced in 1888. Bad Blood—Cure Free.

Bears the y? lhB *■ Vm Alwa -' S NP Crumpacker s Blow at the South The usual Congressional ass has put in appearance. Representative Cium packer, of Indiana, has brought forth a measure to cut down the quota of Southerti Congressmen. In other words, to benefit the Republican party Representative Crumpacker has evolv ed the brilliant scheme of depriving the Southern negroes of representation in Congress. The excuse given by Mr. Crumpacker for this is that many of the negroes cannot comply with State requirements regarding voters. The negroes were deliberately enfranchised by the Republican party for the pur pose of outvoting the Democrats in the South aud to retaiu Republican power in tb.' South. Are the negroes more ignorant now than in 1896? Why does not the brilliant Mr. Crumpacker rooie forward with a sc'ieme tor re hiring the Congressional representa tion of his State or of Massachusetts, i.v the ground that there are thou -niids of men in both States unable to fulfill the requirements exacted of volts f Mr. Criuupackei'.s scheme is n deliberate attempt t> pen-eeu:e the South and will be recognized as such i>y every man, white or colored, from Virginia to Texas. It will not work.— '"cars tfc» Tha Kind You Have Always Bought .-■■"-■ n —? —— Humor in Congress. Representative Allen, of Mississippi, must look to bis laurels. There is a new humorist in Congress. The dis covery is Cushman, of Washington, whose wit is keen, whose sense of the < ridiculous is acute, and who tells a good story in a delightful fashion Cushman is tall and lank, of Abe Lin coln style of architecture with legs sc thin that he himself says that he has often been arrested for being without visible means of support. Another quaint expression is that he was once so poverty-stricken that he sewed buckshot in his summer coat Co make it heavy enough for winter wear. He bubbles over with original sayings and he utters them in a spontaneous, unconscious way that adds to their effectiveness. Mr, Cushman is put down in the C'onc>essioiialDirectory as a Congress man at-large, his State being without definite Congressional districts. This reminds him of a story. He was once approaching a town where be was billed to make a speech aud stopped at a house on the outskirts of the town to get a drink of water. He met the farmer's wife at the well. "Wh.it is the political sentiment around here?" askedCushniao. "I dunno," said the woman, "I don't go to political meetings. They say there is a Congressman at large, and I think the safest thing for me to do is to stay at home." —Washington Post. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
