Young Louis Napoleon's Initiation In tn
Horrible Art Of War.
II knew the prince we'll. On Oh
first two occasions I saw him it wa.
through binocular from consider

on which the boy of fourteen, in tn,
words of his father, received his bap
tism Of fire." was watching from thu
drill ground above Saarbruck, in com
pany with the last remaining Prussiar
soldiers, the oncoming swarm attack
of Batahle's tirailleurs, firing as they
hurried across the plain. The tirailleurs
had passed q little knoll which rose il
the plain about midway between the
Spicheren hill and where stood, and
presently it was crowned by two horse
men, followed by a great staff. The
glass told me that without q doubt
the senior Of tho foremost horsemer
was the Emperor Napoleon, and that
OF the younger, shorter and slighte,
- mere boy he looked - was the
prince imperial, whom we knew tc
be with his father in the field. A fort.
night later, in the early morning Of the
18th, the day before Marsha Tour, when
the German army was still only east

discerned the emperor and his son
emerge from the building, mount and
gallop away, followed by suite and es

the days work was done for both of us
and the twilight was falling on the
rolling veldt, the prince was won,
occasionally to gossip with me about
those early days of the great war
which we had witnessed from op

the exclamation: "Up, Louis, up, and
dress, the German shells are crashing
through the roofs" As the prince
looked out of the window while he hur
riedly dressed he saw a shell fall and
burst in a group of officers seated ir
the garden at breakfast, and when the
smoke lifted three of them lay dead.
That the story of his nerves having
been shattered by the bullet fire al
Saarbruck was untrue seems proved by
an episode he related to me of thai
morning an hour later. On the steep
ascent of the chaussee up to Chatel
the imperial party was wedged in the
heart of a complete block of troops,
wagons and guns; long delay seemed
inevitable. But the lad had noticed 9

down to common Pimple.
He has tried it in ever eleven hundred

(both thunder humor). Hehas now in his

A benefit is always experienced from

When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing

Come, children, and listen; IN tell you in

A story OF something that happened one time.
There was war in the land and each brave
heart beat high,
And many went forth for their country to die
But words fail to tell of the fear and dismay
Which swept the small village of Won day
When the enemy's army marched into the
street,
And their own valiant soldiers were forced to
retreat. a'fs
Such hiding, surrend'ring and trembling with
fear
When what in the midst of it all should APP

But Grandmother Gregory, feeble and old,
Coming out from her cottage. courageous and
bold.

the land,
Shaking ct them the poker she held in her

Fair are the flowers and the children, but their
subtle suggestion is fairer;
Rare is the rose burst of dawn, but the secret
that clasps 1t is rarer:
sweet the exultance of song but the strain
that precedes 1t is sweeter,
And never was poem yet writ but the meaning
administered the meter
Never daisy that grows but a my stery guideth
Never river that flows but a majesty scepters
the flowing:
Never a Shakespeare that scared but a stronger
than he did enfold him;
Never prophet foretells but a mightier seer
hath foretod him.
Back of the canvas that throbs the painter Is
limited and hidden;
Into the statue that breathes the soul of the
sculptor is hidden;
Under the Joy that is felt lie the infinite issues
of feeling;
Growing the glory revealed is the glory that
crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols of being, but that which
is symboled is greater
Vast the create and behold, but vaster the in
ward creator;
Back of the sound broods the silence: back OF
the gift stands the giving;
Back of the hand that received thrill the SEN
sitive nerves of receiving.
Space is nothing to spirit; the deed Is out
done by the doing;
The heart of the wooer is warm, but warmer
the heart of the wooinG
And up from the pits where these SILVER and
up from the heights where those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim starward, and
the essence of life is divine.

In q field apart two vioets bloomed,
And over their heads the tall grass doomed,
And there came one day frolicsome breeze
That parted the grass so they saw the trees,
And catching glimpse of the world outside
They chaffed at the fate that had kept them
tied
To nook obscure in Il gloomy dell
Where scarcely drop of dew eer fell,
And they dropped their heads, for they ionred
to see
What the wonderful world outside might be.
When, lol as it happened, maiden strayed
Close by where the breeze with the yiolets
played,
And seeing but onefor they grew apart
She pressed 1t quick to her throbbing heart
And took IL away. and the flower was glad,
But the one that was left behind was sad
And dropped its sorrowful head, and pined
And paid no heed to the whispering wind
Until, as II CHANGED, next day, once more
The maiden came, and her breast still bore
The faded one that she'd taken away
With a song in its heart but yesterday.
And seeing its brother growing free
1t cried with its dying breath: "Ah mel
I've seen the world, and behold my fate.
So hide your head ere II be too late"
But the one that was left said, I'm not
afraid"
And lifted its face to the merry maid.

But let me now to the gay world fiy."

Some Day.

Some day shall be dead
Under the grass and close to my head
A stone with name and date of my death
May Withstand old Times corroding breath,
But shall be nothing but dust.
Some day shall be dead
Lie like stone with the life all fled
l, in whose veins health's rich red blood
Rushes and leaps like an unchecked flood;
To think of me lying there dead!
Some day shall be dead
And some fair woman my grandson has wed
Will say, as she holds up jewel or lace
To the wondering eyes in her baby's face,
"Great-grandmother once wore this"
Some day shall be dead
The last song sung and the last prayer said,
The laughter hushed and the tears all dried,
And !, whatever of woe may betide,
| shall be safe and dead.
