Robert Burns Wilson in Southern Magazine.
There is enchantment in the thought
OF lands which We will never see
LIES undetermined mystery.
And strength which strives and wearies not
There Is enchantment in regret
Resret-the one bewildering strain
Which no soul never can forget
While memory brcathes across Hfes plain
Wherefore IL IL the soul mnst find
Her happiest dreams in realms untried;
Yet will all trlUmphs of the mind
Leave, still, the heart unSatisfied.
The troubled heart, whose pulse must bring
To thought her music and fep0se.
And guard LIES wavward tide which flows
And GIBBS with PASSIONS whispering.

Won CApkIVI SPEAKS
The Ger man Chancellor Defends the Gov
ernment's Army BILL

ernments army BILL
BERLIN, May 3.-In the Relchstag TO-
day Chancellor Caprivi declared that
the Goverement would endeavor by
every constitutional means TO secure
the passage of the army bill. The Ger
man army, the Chancellor said, as at
present constituted, is equal In quanti-
ty and quality to any emergency that
may arise. He reminded the members
of The Reichstag that the ablest diplo-
macy was not always an efficient sub
stitute for military strength. and In sup
port of this assertion he cited the ex-
perIence of Frederick the Great OF
Prussia.
The Chancellor went on TO say that
some sections of the House appeared TO
have lost sight of the main issue, name
ly, the provision for two yeaie' active
service. Attempts had been made 70
refute the arguments OF the govern
ment In support OF the bill by the man
ipulation OF figures in opposition to the
bill, but Chancellor Caprivi attached
more weight to the views
OF men who not only
had to settle questions in time OF peace.
but must stake their houor and fulfill
their duty in time OF war. The Chan
cellor declared that II Won Moltks and
Won Room were present they would have
supported the demands OF the govern
ment In more forcible language than he
had used, and It was fact that there
was not a living German general who
considered the German army TO be any
thing like as strong as It was Ia 1870.
