These closing lines of the sonnet or
the poppy are truthful as musical:

OF this fair land thy golden rootlets sup
Her sands OF geld-of gold thy petals spun,
Her golden glory thou! On hills and plains
Lifting, reluctant, every kingly cup
Brimmed with the golden vintage OF the sun.
In La Flor Del Salvador the dafodil,
the violet and the rose had spoken, but
the lily kept silence.
Only the fair field lily, slim and tall,
Spake not for all,
spake not an did not stir,
Lapsed in some far and tender memory,
Softly questioned her,
'And what OF thee?"
And winds were lulled about the Bonded
head,
And the warm sunlight swathed her as in
flame,
While the awed answer came,
"Hath He not said?''
1t is hard to say whether the delicacy
of the sentiment or the technique of
this verse is the more to be praised.
These are only bits taken at random
from the volume, but with what we
have given before, will show the reader
the delicscy of the sentiment and the
the attempts. Few of our singers have
shown SO fine touch or SO firm hold
upon the elements that make up true
poetry; and it is gratifying to be as
sured through the press notices in the

accorded to Miss Coolbrith among the
acknowledged representatives of good
literature there, where she is soon to
take up her abode.

charges or by bigotry, and such methods arer
to be deplored. Father Phelan is responsible
to no one but himself for what he says, es
he does not represent a church in this par

League in high regard, and l believe they
are doing good work. The men and
women who are at the head of them have
only good motives, and think they ought
to be encouraged.

Armour Co. Believed to Have Made Al
ing the Last Week-Almost a Panic in
the Exchange-The Bears il Tight
Place.
Chicago. April 22.-The advance in the
price of wheat which began last week,
continued in a sensational manner to-
day on the board of trade When trad
ing began there was wild scramble
for wheat, July being the favorite op-
tion, and in l0,minutes thesprioe reached
Oh cents, which was 2 cents over the
closing price.on Saturday. THE action
of the bears in selling los at 63 checked
the advance, and there was reaction
to 81 cents. The market fuctuated be-
tween these prices for some time. The
wheat pit was janlmed with brokers
who held buying orders, and every body
wanted wheat iii hurry. The reason
source of supply and the world must
look to this city for it's wheat. In the
elevators here are stored 26, 600, 900 bush
els of that grain, and mparatiyely lit
tie wheat is at other points, except 5,000,
900 bushels in store at New York, and
there is no wheat on the American sea-
board. There is little ahoat to foreign
markets and all the millers of the north
west buying wheat stored in that part
of the country at higher prices than can
be sold for here The foreign traders
know of the immense quantity of wheat
in sstore here, and had mistaken idea
they could buy 1t at their own price
at any time they wanted it. The Chiea-
go owners Of 26,000,0 900 bushels have
ample capital to mold their property TN
til they can get a suitable price for it.
The furry today was not due to the
rushing of shorts to cover, but to the
sudden and general demand for grain.
The trading was SO fast and furious that
the pit presented panic scene and it is
estimated that 20 minutes from the
opening more than 100000 bushels
OF wheat schanged hands.
Ed. Partridge who is said to he short
fours or five million bushels of wheat,
did not seem worried over the SHARP ad-
vance, although the first hours of trad
ing meant a loss of $780, 900 to him. His
brokers did no buying for his account,
it is said. Armour Co. made an enor-
nous profit by the advance, as the firm
is credited with owning twelve of the
26, 900, 900 bushela in the local elevators.
Wheat advanced seven cents since a week
ago and at that rate the FIRMS winnings
amount to $S40, 900. W. L. Baker, president
of the board, is said to be heavy win
ner.

Empire.
Much remains to be done : in the march
toward higher civilization. 1t is to be hoped
that the loyal subjects of the Empire will
realize this and guard against these dangers
of vanity and concert. They should culti-
vate spirit of modesty and humility, and
strive to perfect their military defences.
and although without going to extremes of
national armament, they should promote
education and seek TO know the refine

The Emperor rebukes sharply those who,
in the intoxication of victory seem inclined
to insult friendly powers and complicate
the Empires foreign relations. Now
breaches of faith had been repented, and
exchanges of the treaty notifications should
inaugurate a period of forgiveness and
friendship. Every endeavor should he
made to live in peace and good will with the
nations of the earth. The Emperor closes
his proclamation with the statement that
strict obedience of his wishes, as indicated
in this document, will be exacted from all
subjects.
