THE WIND AND THE LEAVES.


There is warfare in the garden. and the

In the struggle Of the millions and the

For the bitter wind Is blowing and the
yellow leaves are going.
And the armies Of the summer turn and

Here they come. 7 flying legion. round the
corner down the path.
While they seek In vain a shelter from
the foe:
BY mis- furious onslaught scattered. clad
In russet torn and battered.
Lost and ruined in tire summers over

Time was when they were allies in the
April afternoon.
When the winter and the SHOWS were at
an end.
they issued green and sprigntiy.
And they hailed him for their champion
and their friend.
Then they loved him IN the summer. and
he kissed them as he passed.
when ne uniforms they wore were
fresh and green.
Ard thew trusted In him bIindly for they
thought his voice was kindly
As he whispered through the copptce o.

But they found his rough advances On
the gray September morn
Verv different from his geuia! breath in
June.
For when the year grew older. his friend

And ne threatened and he piped a war
like tune.
So they fought him and he bea; them:
and the garden paths today

For the cruel wind Is roaring. and before

THE OYSTER DREDGERS.
baltimore Objects to Receiving Them
From This City.

FROM IRIS lily.
The question of what to do with the al
legged ill-treated oyster dredgers who come
here from down the Potomac river, usually
from the Jurisdiction of the state of Mary
land. is agitatins the minds Of some of the
local officials Complaint is being made in
Baltimore about the sending Of these I'M
fortunate men there.
The matter was made the subject of an
official communication received at police
headquarters yesterday from Alonzo b.
Cough, who is connected with the charity
department of Baltimore city. He takes
the position that dredgers whose homes
are In cities other than Baltimore should
not be sent TO the monumental city. On
the other hand. the local authorities see
no reason why all Of them should not be
sent there. These dredgers come here, as a
rule, from Maryland waters, instead of
going to Baltimore, because 1t is much
nearer.
Since the 23d Of October nineteen of them
have come to Washington from the lower
Potomac, and each one said he had ship
ped from Baltimore. Four of them had
been SO badly treated that they had to be
given hospital treatment before they were
able to travel
Capt. Cutler, superintendent of the mu-
nicipal lodging house, this morning called
on Sanitary Officer Frank and discussed
the dredger problem. Almost every night
during the past two weeks. he says he has
had to accommodate some of the dredgers
He thinks something should be done for the
protection of the men down the river.
