OUR OFFICE BOY, JIM.

Jim was a boy with frecIIled face
Which yet was full Of a reckless grace:
The merriest mouth. and two bright
Which sparkled and gazed with wide
surprise;
For ali the world was a show to him.
And life was JOY to our Office boy. Jim.
The noisest lad in the building tall,
He vexed us each day with his piercing
His whistle so shrill made the Railways
And we stopped our ears when he tried
to sing;
With glad life filled to the very brim.
And perfect torment, this bad boy, Jim.
But when the boss" was at home in
When the head clerks dear little child
When sorrow had shadowed the girl cash
That jim was darling. very dear:
His hands were black, and his neck was
But his heart was measure, that odd
boy, Jim.
And there came a time when he stayed
away
From the office. and all of that long. sad
We thought of his face and his rough red
With a reverent pain-for the boy was
dead.
And we missed him so much that our
eyes were dim,
For he'd stolen our hearts, had that queer
boy, Jim.
And we wept when his story was told
around.
For he'd given his life away, we found,
TO save a woman. forlorn and old,
From the wheels of a street car. With
courage bold
He'd leaped to his death, and Ger death s

Was changed to hero. our office boy.

speeches were quite uncanniiy clever and
very amusing. Here is one of the stories
her owners tell about Kate:
Kate used 70 sit on the mantel while
the father of the family said grace, and
as he always used the same form of
thanks the parrot got so that she knew
il by heart One day the minister took
tee. at the house. and, OF course. the
father asked him to say grace. Kate was
o. the mantel as usual and before the
minister had finished his first sentence
she shouted:
THAT amt right,
The parson went on. but Kate kept
shouting That ain right, at him
until he finished, when she flew to the
fathers shoulder and said, coaxingiy;
PA. you say 1t.
The father asked the blessing to please
the parrot and when he got through
Kate perchcd herself on the preacher
chair and muttered;
That's the way to say It.
The parson was a very serious man,

New York, Jan. 20.-Glad tidings to
yesterday announced the sinking of
the Spanish gunboat Relampago by
means of a torpedo, while the ship was
hurrying to the assistance of the garri-
son of Fort Guamo. on the Cauto river
the most important inland waterway Of
the island.
Three weeks ago, a letter was re-
ceived in this city in which the writer
said that the delay in beginning war
upon SPANS patrol fleet was due to a
blunder The mistake had been recti-
fed, and that the material reached it's
destination safely is proven by the
destruction of the Relampago on
who knows the electrician who accom-
plished the first marine victory for
Cuba libre said last night: The man
under whose supervision the insurgents
have begun war on Spain's gunboats
is thoroughly proficient in electrical
engineering. and 1 believe this new de-
parture will result in the loss of many
more of Spai1s gunboats."
DO you believe that torpedoes can
be placed in waters adjacent to
Havana ?"
That will not be attempted. The
field of operations is sufficiently broad
without attempting what would be
foolish. The torpedo service will de-
vote its energy exclusively TO rivers
navigated by the Spanish gunboats
and to the unprotected anchorages to
which they retreat at night. There are
more than 40 war vessels of different
kinds in Cuban waters. They are sell
dom in Havana harbor. They will be
easy game when once our torpedo
service has become in a degree per-
fected. I shall be disappointed if we
do not hear of other successful at
tacks upon Spain's fleet within the
coming fortnight"

Senior Canovas del Castillo. the Spanish
premier. has stated to his friends that if

negotiations were proceeding between the
governments at Madrid and Washington
with a view of settling the trouble in
Cuba. and that Prime Minister Canovas
was preparing to announce that the war
in the island was ended, when the
premier was surprised and dismayed by
the receipt last week of an intimation

ton and would relegate it to the admin
istratinn of President-elect Mckinley.

WINTER.

Far in the north the wandering moon
looks down
Upon frozen sea and frozen land.
A dreary barren waste, where strange
fires play
Across a sunless sky. among the keen,
STRENGTHENING stars and TAR 10 the
southwark drive
The snow clouds, and the bitter north
winds howl
Through mountain glens and break the
forest trees.
The furious waves tear at the crumbiing
cliffs,
And many a prayer is said for those at
sea.
And many a ship goes down in sight of
shore,
In dim gray twilights of December days,
And with December days comes that
glad feast
We keep to him who brought our life to
light,
