The Greek calendar is, rs well known,
twelve days behind ours. The fact.brought
Easter Sunday on April 18th. The 9th was,
therefore, Palm Sunday. For Corfu 1t was
still more. 1t was the day on which the
patron saint Of the island, Saint Spiridion,
one of the early fathers of the church, is
exhibited in procession to the people; 1t
was, moreover, the anniversary of the
Greek independence. In honor of the lat
ter event we, at o'clock in the morning,
dressed the ship in a rainbow of fiags, the
Greek national ensign at the main truck,
and at noon tired twenty-one gus. By in
yitation, ten officers of the fleet were pres
ent at the exercises in the cathedral. Clad
in special full-dress uniform. we assembled
about $50 o'clock in the morning at the
American ConsuPs, a Corfote by birth, an
Englishman by descent, occupying also the
position of British Vice-Consul and Consul
for Sweden and Norway and for Denmark.
We next proceeded to the Hotel st.
Georges, where the American Minister to
Greece, who had come from Athens to visit
the squadron, was stopping. Accompanied
by him we marched through two long
lines of soldiers to the saints church,
where we were conducted to
place inside the railing near the altar. The
church is small, but as only standing room
is provided there is space for large num-
Der of persons. On the wall of the church
opposite the altar is built gallery, behind
a section of which the women usually as

BABY'S PICTURE.
Written for THE SUNDAY CALL.


~fo you've looked all through the album and
A can't find his picture there?
10y Well OF course not-in that particular I
treated the babe unfair;
For KEEP putin 1t off and putin 1t of and waitin'
day by day,
A-watchn his curls grow longer and studyin' the
cutest way
To have his pictur taken-some new and original
kind
For little angels pictur seemed most like him in
my mind
But Kind and all-wise Shepherd takes wonderful
of his flock,
And ometimes when the sheep are all restin' he
comes and undoes the lock
or the sheep-fold, takes one OF the lambs in his
bosom and gently goes his way,
For he knows that the sheep viii all follow and VIII
go far astray.
So one day the Lord sent his angels and took back
the child he gave,
F or he seemed to know my salvation would be
found by my little boys grave.
So haven't got his pctur'-that is, not the album
kind,
But I've got more lastn' likeness a-wrltten on my
mind.
Every evenin. when all is quiet. sit in my old arm
chair,
And then can see my baby's eyes and his curly
golden hair;
can see his innocent smiling lips an the dimple in
his cheek,
And whats more than's in any pictur') can hear
the darlin' speak.
l s'pose you think I'm maginin' a great deal more
than see
But there's thing and that Is my boy Is
a-beckonin' to me;
And no matter how wild the night is, nor how loud
the winds may roar,
can hear my darling CALM as he stands on the
other shore:
Come TO me, dear papa, the winds do not blow
on this side"
And that the talkin pictur have of my boy that
died.
