* THE MAN BEHIND. ♦
444444444444-44*
The band is on tne quarter deck, the
starry flag unfurled;
The air is mad with music and with
cheers.
The ship is bringing home to us the
homage of the world
And writing new our name upon the
years.
Jter officer is on the bridge, we greet
him with hurrahs;
But some one says, “Not he the
glory won;
Not hr alone who wears the braid, de
serves the loud applause,
O, don’t forget the man behind the
gun!”
’Tis said that to embattled seas our
ship sailed forth at dawn,
Unheeding shot, unheeding hidden
mine
And through the thunders of the fight
went steaming bravely on,
The nation’s fighting fortress on the
brine.
And never throbbing engine stopped,
nor parted plate or seam
In all that bloody day from sun to
sun;
The stood ship her battle cry in
hissing clouds of steam
To cheer anew the man behind the
gun.
1 look upon her shining bore, her en
gine’s pulsing heart,
I look upon her bulwarks shaped of
steel;
I know there is another art, as great
as gunner's art.
That makes the world at arms in
homage kneel.
This ship, defying shot and shell, de
fying winds and seas.
Is fruit of honest labor, rightly done;
The man who built the ship, my lads,
remember him for he’s
The man behind the man behind the
gun!

KAISER SAYS HUES .
ATTACKS HAVE FAILED
BERLIN, June 2. —According to a re
port from Field Marshal von Hinden
burg to Emperor William, the British
and French offensive in the western
war theatre has come to a definite
conclusion, in which the Allied drive
ended in a pronounced failure, after
seven weeks of severe fighting which
the emperor characterizes as the
mightiest battles of the war. The em
peror, telegraphing the empress at
Potsdam today said: “God’s aid has
been granted our incomparable troops.
Glory for his help and thanks for such
a magnificent people in arms.”
Appointing the Wedding Day
Has its little perplexities, but there is none so important as sending
out the right kind of invitations.
If there is every a time when a bride should appear well to her friends,
it should be through the proper verbiage and appearance of her wed
ding cards, to fail upon this point is a mistake that induces unfavorable
comment The safest plan is to send to the J. P. Stevens Engraving
Co., of At’anta, Ga., for samples and prices which will be supplied
free of charge.
