Up where the pictured faces slept,
Whose silken tassels rocked o'erhead,
Stirred on their holds by the winds bold

While the bare black tree with it's touch of ice
Played on the roof like maddened dice,
And the tempest broke DER the slippery
strands
OF the morning caves with their frozen
bands.
He heard the voice Of battle.kings
With their steely crash, and their trumpet
heard the signs of tender past
In the mrrored keys of the flying blast.
He heard the hoofs Of the fiery steeds
That secured the plains to valiant deeds;
heard the groans of the riders pale
AS they fell endorsed in the rushing gale.
With its braying horns and its icy drum;
] in the moan of the plaintive fife,
Heard signs of Death, that ends the strife.
Then the wind swept of DER the shadowy

And left in its wake the alf.frozen rain.

As it dashed on our window it's wing of sleet
He heard the song of ribald rhyme
That rose DER the clash of the ice in wine;

b. The Hohenzollcrn Spook.

The kaiser's high regard for his
French cook, M. Bernhard, was further
shown on coronation day" On this
anniversary great number of orders
are conferred upon all classes, and on
this last occasion one of the honors
went to the cook, who so successfully
tickles the Old emperor's palate. 10
As all the grand festivals are held in
the old palace, there was great stir
thereabout for the entire week preced-
Ing. Thirty cooks and small army
of assistants-women and beys--were
kept busy in relays day ard night pre-
pairing the dinner. 1t was the curicsi-
ty of one of these young fellows that
caused the rnmor of the "White La
dy's" temperance. He had heard 50
much about the. lavish preparations
going on throughout the entire palace
that at midnight he seized an opportu-
nifty to slip out of the kitchen-an i'm
mense apartment looking out ON the
Spree at the back of tho palace=and
walked softly about from place toplace
to satisfy himself. AS he had on his
white apron and cap, it is nc wonder
that in the dim light through which he
was seen moving roiselcssly, he was
mistaken for the dread specter whose
appearance, legends says, BODIES i'll to
the house of Hohenzollern. Someone,
however, followed and collared the
boy, frightening him fearfully. He
was let off with q severe reprimand.
The truth was not known for several
days, and as the news of the "White
Lady's" temperance spread through
the city, next morning there was great
CONSERVATION. Everyone was speculat-
ing as to who of the royal family would
be the victim, for no one seemed to dis
believe in the three-centurics-old super
stition, There were not few who felt
certain that the kaiser was marked for
death, as he had been suffering with
another severe cold.-BCrIiR Cor. Globe
