TWO SUPERB SONGS FOR THE HOME. TRY THEM ON THE PIANO.

In Dear Old Illinois.

Chorus. By Paul Dresser.

My heart is yearning, my thoughts are turning, again I am a boy: The sun shone brighter, my heart seemed lighter, in dear old Illinois.

The Voice of the Hudson.

Chorus. By Paul Dresser.

We shall stroll by the Hudson, the great mighty river, the Hudson, majestic and grand; With its crooks and its bends, as it silently wends Its ways mid the scenes of the Master's hand, But a voice cries aloud, "The Hudson am I! Why come you alone, where is she? Go bring her, you loved her, and she loved you too, And I hear that you both love me!"

PAUL DRESSER'S LINCOLN, GRANT AND LEE; OR, THE WAR IS OVER MANY YEARS

At Gettysburg and Chickamauga, where grim war once held full sway, Marching on to greater glory vet'rans of the yesterday Wave the field of corn and cotton, showing we are one today; Arms entwined around each other, heroes of the Blue and Gray.

SOME BEAUTIFUL BALLADS BY PAUL DRESSER.

Way Down in Old Indiana by Paul Dresser.

1. With a heart full of longing, my thoughts turn tonight Back to old Indiana, The same wayward lad in the mellow moonlight.

2. It was there that in pray'r I first folded my hands--Down in old Indiana, 'Twas there in my dreams I saw far distant lands.

JUST WANT TO GO BACK AND START THE WHOLE THING OVER.

I just want to go back and start the whole thing over, Back [illegible] the nodding fields of timothy and clover, To the golden days of June, Where the birds are never out of tune, Back to the fields and start all over.

CALLING TO HER BOY JUST ONCE AGAIN. Refrain. Paul Dresser.

I'd go back to the days of want and sorrow Covered now and then with just a smile, To give up all that I could steal or buy now To smile at her knees a little while. I'd give up all the future hope of Heaven Eternally to live in endless pain. To see my mother at the east end window Calling to her boy just once again. Copyright MCMIII by Howley, Haviland & Co.

There's No North Or South To-day. By Paul Dresser.

There is always a West, There is always an East, Where the sea shall rise, they say....But we're marching abreast, From the East to the West, For there's no North or South today.. There is

MR. VOLUNTEER; OR YOU DON'T BELONG TO THE REGULARS, YOU'RE JUST A VOLUNTEER. Chorus. by Paul Dresser.

You don't belong to the regulars, you're just a volunteer. You are only one of the rank and file, But some [illegible] hold you dear! Many a mother's heart will ache and in the coming year Uncle Sam will take off his hat to you, Mister Volunteer. Copyright MCMIII by Howley, Haviland and Dresser. English Copyright secured.

MY HEART STILL CLINGS TO THE OLD FIRST LOVE. Moderato. By Paul Dresser.

1. Sometime in the future I can hear a maiden say Once I had a sweetheart in a bygone distant day And 2. Perhaps when she is musing o'er the time her heart was free, Her thoughts may turn back to a dear old weeping willow tree. Where
