TftL GLD WAR DRUM AWAE ml mays" rcsr mrm 'Mi nl '.i Copyright, 1315, by American Pres. Association. IT Is standing in the corner of the littered lumber room. And the dust upon its rtwhide head is pleading for broom. But the old war drum is silent now : it has no voice to call. Like a dry, decrepit veteran it leans against the wall. . But hush, hush, hush I Don't you hear the war drum best? . Don't you hear its rumble-rumble-rumble-rum f Lean and listen I To your ear Put your hand, and you may hear, ' Faint and far, the rumble-rumble of the drum ! BUT a ghost of ancient Echo is the war drum's warning low From the faroff fields of carnage, from the battles long ago, From the gory Shiloh maelstrom, from the Chlckamausa hell. From the fierce Antietam caldron, where the flower of manhood fell. Ah, hear, hear, hear! Can't you feel the war drum throb T Can't you sense its rumble-rumble-rumble-rum? For the moment close your eyes. " It is not a mere surmise 'Tls the real rumble-rumble of the drum I THEY have borne It in the morning when the bugles blew the notes. Rousing regiments to marshal and assault the cannon throats. And the drum has mixed its rumbling with the bugle and the fife. Calling men to make for fatherland the sacrifice of life.
