Eugene Field, Died Nov. 4, 1895.

He has gone; the nation grieveth
For it's singer loved so we'll,
And thu winds from sea to sea-coast
Breathe his knell.
Like ship that leaves her moorings
In the calm before the light,
Fled the spirit of the poet
With the night.
Noble heart and genial spirit
Strong as lion, mild as dove,
Treasure we thy heavenly teachings
Hope and Love
Teller of the children's stories,
Lover of the babies Groom
Young and old will miss thy going
All too soon. H. A.

Washington that he was not surprised
at the reports of uprisings in China
against the missionaries. The Chinese,
he said, regarded the Europeans and
Americans as the instigators of the
japanese war and therefore held them
largely responsible for the degrada-

the late war to be the rapid growth OF
