Whitelaw Ried stating that the
French Government had apologize

treatment of two New York ladies
at Mentone, several months ago,
also that the French government

Secretary Tracy has decided to
build the two 3ooo-ton vessels
appropriated for by the last
Congress at Government navy

because all the bids received from

the department believe they can
be built by the government for the
sum appropriated.

When Secretary Proctor assum-
ed control of the War department
he found the department 10000
cases behind in furnishing the
Pension office with the records of
applicants for pensions. The Sec
rotary after an examination of
matters concluded about two
months ago to create the division
of records and pensions in his
department. The wisdom Of his
action may be judged from the
fact that the work is now right up
to date and on Saturday the appli-
cations received from the Pension
office in the morning were all
supplied before the department
closed in the afternoon.

following little story. 1t is so prettily
written that the editor hadn't tho heart
TO change word of it, so all he did
was to correct few mistakes in SPELL
ling:
''One day, in the springtime. n great
tree was felled in the grounds. and in
it was a nest OF young birds. They
we're all found dead except one dear
little thing. begged mamma to let me
bring it up, and made nest of cot
ton wool in q little cage. and began to
fill its wide-open yellow mouth as best
l could. l hunted for worms and
caught flies, but it was too much for q
little girl to do. So many breakfasts,
lunches, dinners and suppers all in
one day, until mamma showed mo how
to make worms out of meat. No one
can tell the amount of labor done
by the mother bird until they try
it themselves. Birdie began 10
grow rapidly, opened its bright eyes
and seemed happy as bird
could be. Now it could fly about
the room and it would come
to my call TO be fed. Next we let it fly
in the garden, but as it could not feed
itself yet it would fly against the win
dow, never mistaking the room in
which | was. When other little boys
and girls were visiting l would ask
them if they would like me to call a
bird down from tho tree. OF course
they all wanted bird, but were doubt
full OF its coming. Then l would call
Phoebe! Pheben and down would fly
the charming little bird and nestle on
my shoulder, never alighting on any
one but me.
There was one thing which puzzled
little Phoebe very much, and that was
why changed color so often-one day
all white and the next all black-and
would have to be assured by my voice
before she would come to me. She
MOULD sit on twig and peep so know

weeks Phoebe always came home at
night to her clean, warm nest in her

My friend, he spoke of a woman face;
It puzzled me. and paused TO think.
He told Of her eyes and mouth, the trace
or prayer on her brow, and quick as wink

That childhood fit. 1 tell thee nay;
She was girl Just yesterday"
'"The yenrs are swift and sure, trow"
(Quoth he) you speak of the long ago"
Once I strolled In garden spot,
And every flower appraised head
ESQ it seemed,) for they, I wot,
Were mates OF mine; each bloom and bed
Their hours for sleep. their merry mood,
The lives and deaths of the whole sweet brood,
Were known to me; it was my way
To visit them but yesterday.
Spale one red rose, in a language low:
I've saw you asst in the long ago."
Entering under the Intel wide,
saw the room; twas oil the same;
The oaken press and the shelves aside,
The window, small for the sunset flame,
The book loved on the table large;
ope'd, and To- in the yellow marge
The leaf placed was shrunk and gray.
u swear It was green but yesterday!
Then voice stole out OF the sunset glow:
You lived here, man. in the long ago."
IT'S the same old tale, though it comes to me
By hundred paths of pain and glee,
Till I guess the truth ut last and know
That yesterday is the Long Ago.
