You whose thoughts turn back today
O'er the past in musing stray,
See adown each aree-lined street,
Other forms than those YOU meet
And with CHEEKY greeting grasp,
Hands held fast in hearty clasp;
Other forms before you rise,
Not less real unto your eyes
Than they seemed in bygone days,
Waking in accustomed ways,
Though the feet that weary trod
Meath yon violet-sprinkled sod,
Many year have been at rest.
Still among us, manifest
In the g-aos that true lives breathe,
Hallowed powers they bequeath,
Dwell they yet. And we salute
Them today, who, never mute,
Speak to is yet, in deed and thought
Word and work that here they wrought.
Whom yOu in your youth revered;
Whom the years have more endeared;

Cherishing ideals high,
Lived lives broad In sympathy;
Felt the throb of Nature heart.
Hold with her communion sweet,
Norsyet failed to catch the beat
OF the great world pulses, stsong;
Caught the rhythm of theSsong
Underlying all earth's strain
In low raptuTOus refrain.
Some held place in halls of state,
Bore the honors world counts great;
Others taught the love of books;
Wise in lore of forest hooks,
Some the woodland secrets knew,
Song of birds and f1owerets' hue,
Or were curious to reveal
Wonders earth and sky conceal.
All lived worthy lives and true
Consecrate to best they knew.
These are they who did inspire
You to heights perchance yet higher
Than they might themselves attain.
Ever let the truth remain
That their lives have taught SO plain.
Mans sunccess or mans defeat
By naught else is justly mete,
Save by aspiration bold,
Purposes he strong mag hold,
Glorious lives are measured by
Thoughts uplifted to the sky.
Yet not alone shines light from out th'

sister, Feodora, and by a number of other princesses, including even tho young ex-Queen Mercedes of Spain, who reigned ill name during the six months that intervened between the death of her father and the birth of her brother, little King Alphonso XIII Indeed the advances of King Alexander, when not treated with contempt, have been re- ceived almost as an insult, and, to the dismay of his people, he had to give up all idea of consolidating his throne and his dynasty by wedding royal princess.
 When his mother Queen Natalie, acting on inspiration received from St. Petersburg, put forward the name of Princess Ann of Montenegro ;ls suita- ble consort for her son this winter, it was thought that match had at last been arranged. The news of the be- trothal was at first received with much finally it was confirmed from St. Peters burg.
 In order to set King Alexander up in royal housekeeping, Queen Natalie sold her vast estates in the Crimea and Bes- sarabia, ex-King Milan having managed to extort from his son all the accumula- tions of the latter s minority. But alasi all her plans have been nipped ill the bud, for Princess Ann of Montenegro has tilted her young affianced.
 The American girl who will become King Alexander's wife will have to be strong minded woman and be able to reform her husband, should any degree of happiness be hers An ex-at- tache thus describes this personage: King Alexander, or King Sasha, as he is nicknamed, is one of the most offen- sive and displeasing youths that could be found anywhere from the Bosporus to the banks of the Tagus. His manners are coarse and brutal in the extreme, fully ill keeping with his beetling brows low forehead and almost bestial nose and jaw, while the opinions which he vouchsafes with regard to women ill general are characterized by an affecta- tion of cynicism and disillusion that is revolting indeed. "
 The future queen of Servia will also have to satisfy the caprices of her all but amiable father in-law, who is an incurable spendthrift, and whose excess es have caused his dethronement. His was singularly tu-gid, ribald, shame less and cratic reign. After long ca reer of profiigacy he deserted his coun- try ill most critical hour Berlin Cor. New York Journal

tendency also exists op the part o the negro to drift away from 'ii'
 farms into the cities. This passing
 of the negro from the fields into tne
 towns is, in MT. Van de Graan
 opinion, obviously a fact of the
 greatest importance, not only ln lCs
 bearing upon his status and dlSlri-
 button within the Southlitself, but
 also upon the question whether he
 is to remain in the South ln re-
 latively excessive numb9s and as an element of it's popu4tion not shared in an appreciable Eegree Dy the North. Once loosed rom the stability of country life, taught 10 maintain himself in the ldty, and placed on the great highways of travel, the negro has taken first and longest step out of te South The transitid from to Philadelphia, pr from to Chicago, is ompara- lively easy, and it may benade by easy stages. <" In brief, MI Van de Graaff's figures suffice to slow that the negro is capable of dgration on Q large scale, and thd neither by choice nor necessity is to re- main fixed in the Southern States. MT. Van de Graaff comedies his Fourm article-a notable Sne it is, too-with a just tributd to the South's practically undevloped re- and boundless po9bilities. He says: Great as has leen the industrial advance made, bnsider- able as appears the presdt immi- grafton movement, they bu faintly the deyelopeuan mt now at hand. If so much has | en done in the last thirty years Ter such disadvantages and practihly un- aided by immigration, wh may we not expect when that fd tide which has created the Empire States of the Northwest is trned in even greater volume southardi Only the marvellous growth ( the great West itself can guid thema- gination in attempting the foreast, and even that must be surpassed. To the South unquestionablJ be longs the future.

THE SOUTHERN RACE PROB
 LEM.


 Much has been said and written about the race problem confronting the South. No solution of it yet proposed has met general accep- tance. Probably the discussion of the question thus far has resulted in little beyond recognition of its importance as only less than that of slavery itself, says the Memphis ,Scimitar. Are we drifting, then, and are we to continue to drift, as before the war, until danger be comes imminent and critieal2 How fares t with the patient who has rejected the prescriptions of the social doctors? It is the cheerful thesis of noteworthy article by Mr. A. s. Van de Graaff, of Ala bama, which will appear in the May Fourm, that all is well; that the problem is already in process of solution by the spontaneous operation of the same fundamental economic law which, under the different conditions of slavery, brought into existence.
 The race problem, in Mr. Van de Graaff's opinion, rises out of the unequal distribution of the negroes in the United State. "It will certainly be agreed that, if the negroes now in our borders-wer evenly distributed over the country so that in no State or region did they form more than one-eighth of its population, we would have no race problem in the sense in which we commonly speak of it as existing now. It is the presence of an un- due proportion of negroes in the Southern States that at once gives rise to the race problem and makes it question belonging peculiarly to the South" Mr. Van de Graaff gives the result of his investigations, extending over number of years, into the movement of negroes in the South, and the results as he presents them in his Fourm article are very striking. For they show conclusively that over much the greater portion of the South the race problem does not exist in the sense in which he has defined it. In the whole South the tendency is toward more equal distribution of the blacks and the dissipation of black majorities. A remarkable

President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio, is highly respected all through that section. He has lived in Clinton Go. 75 years, and has been president of the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly testifies to the merit of Hoods Sarsa- parilla, and what he says is worthy attention. All brain workers find Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted to their needs. It makes pure, rich, red blood, and from this comes nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength.
 "I am glad to say that Hoods Sarsapa- rilla is very good medicine, especially as blood purifier. It has done me good many times. For several years suffered greatly with pains of

WANT TO BEA QUEEN <?
YOUNG KING ALEXANDER ANXIOUS
 TO MARRY AN AMERICAN tiElRESS.

His Father Will Try to Arrange a Hatch.
 Bride to Be Will Be the First American
 Woman to Sit on European Throne.
 Need Fear No Rivals.
 It looks more than probable that some fortunate or unfortunate American heir ess will soon marry European ruler Her husband to be is only the sovereign of a petty kingdom, but all the same she will be full fedged queen
 Ex-King Milan of Seryia has just an nounced officially that he will start for New York in May. He goes to the Unit ed States with the express purpose of finding some untitled American girl with plenty of money who would be willing to marry the present ruler of Servia, King Alexander
 For the exchange of her shekels it is stipulated that the bride to be shall be formally elevated to the nobility, after which the marriage will take place in royal style.
 In contracting this unequal matrimo- nial alliance ex-King Milan is to pro- Nlue tHdb hliiS AlcAduucr uluSb SeCuFS absolute control of his millionaire brides money.
 Queen Natalie, the mother of the roy al bridegroom to be, evidently does not favor this scheme of King Milan, as 6 commoner-not she-is paying his trav- cling expenses, and there is, therefore, a bright prospect of too much mother-in- law in this match. But this need not discourage young American heiresses ambitious to sit on European throne, for King Alexander has not dollar to his name and is head over ears i'll debt and head over ears ill love with any one who will help him out of his financial straits.
 King Alexander's future wife need not anticipate trouble from rivals. King Alexander $ proposals have been reject ed in turn by the Grand Duchess Xenia of Russia, by the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Vladimir, by Princess Sybil of Hesse, by the German empress
