Do Swans Sing Before They Die9
The story shat tells of swans singing
before death is very old, and Of course is
founded upon fancy. The idea has been
brought down from ancient myths. The
voice OF the swan is extremely harsh
and disagreeable, without a single mu-
sical note in it, and no good reason can
be found for likening some of the worlds
sweetest poetic to this unmelodious voiced
fowl.
The only approach to a verifcation
we have ever seen is the following.
clipped some years ago from Virginia
newspaper:
"a sporting friend, recently returned
from a foray upon the Potomac river.
below Mount Vernon, was the guest of q
venerable and highly intelligent lady,
who has always lived on the Potomac,
Speaking of the swan, she gave it as her
decided opinion that this bird was in the
habit of singing or making a plaintive
noise when dying. The reason she gave
for entertaining this belief was that on
very many occasions in the last so wears
she had been awakened at night by
sweet and exceedingly sad noise, some
thing like the tones of fageolet coming
over the water, and that on every sub
sequent morning dead swan was found
to be floating on the water or to have
been washed ashore. ."-Pittsburg Dis

THE WIND OF THE DEAD MEMS FEET

Oh, wind OF the dead mems feet" blow softly

Why should yewaken them from quiet slumber
Within earth's toll worn breast?
The day will come when. like mighty ocean
Which rolls from pole to pole.
hesistless thou wilt sweep the nations over,
And then must every soul
Prepare tc meet the One, who, following after.
Appeareth in the east.
And wakeneth all men from deaths dreamless

So. wind Of the dead mems feet" blow softly.
Until shall dawn that day
When, strong and terrible. thou wilt give

That all things pass away.

the United States court asking Judge
Simonton to issue the order to the re-
ceiver of the South Carolina railway
forbidding that road to receive any i'm
toxicating liquors for transportation
into the state unless it has the official
stamp of the state dispensary.
The question is an interesting one
and involves an Interpretation of the
interstate commerce law. By making
the application the state submits the
question to the court and admits its
jurisdiction. The constitutionality OF
the dispensary act will therefore be di-
rectly question.
