The Swallows.

From the French of Florian.l
How 1 love to see the swallows
at my window, every year,
They who come oer hills and hollows
Bearing news that spring is near
The same nest" thus sing the rovers,
Now the same sweet love shall sec;
Meet 1t is that faithful lovers
Herald sunny days for thee
When beneath the first frosts trembling
Fall the forest leaves like rain,
Then the swallows, reassembling,
Call from cottage caves again.
Fly the lands that chill snow covers.
Fly the storn-wind's blast!" they sing,
''Winter's not for faithful lovers,
They dwell always in the spring."
II upon her way a swallow
Prisoncd by a child's caprice
Longs In vain her love to follow,
Wearies vain!y for release,
Soon the swallows voc is over,
Soon she dies Of grief and pain,
While that dny her faithful lover
By the sumo despair is slain.

About 1920 o'clock last night two
young men, one of whom is named
Vantine, visited the stand of the sand
wich vendor and proceeded to fortify
the inner man. After they had eaten
an argument was started as to which
should pay, and the result was that
they departed without either settling
the bill, amounting to 10 cents.
Filand did not believe in doing bust

he chased the young men up L street
a considerable distance, though he

The latter, however, had no intention
of being DONE" and fishing up an old

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
The Salvation Army to fleet in St.
Paul'S Church Tonight.

Tonight at ST. Pauls Episcopal
Church, Eighth and I streets, will be
held a meeting Of the Salvation Army.
This meeting will be notable, in that
it will be the first meeting held by the
army in an Episcopal Church on the
Pacific Coast.
For the past six months Rev. Mr..
Mel, rector of st. PauFs, and the Sal
walton Army under Captain Field have
co-operated actively and most eff
feotively in the relief of the worthy
poor of this city During that time
not one worthy family or individual
has been refused substantial aid. Ev-
cry deserving case has been met with
adequate aid in clothing, food or cash.
The meeting at ST. Paurs tonight is
one of the results of this cooperation.
Major and Mrs. .Winchell, in charge
of the army in the Pacific States will
conduct the meeting and explain the
new plans of the army for social work;
that is to say, fer the relief of the
deserving poor. Special reference will
be made to the proposed colonization
scheme.
Major Wincheli is thoroughly versed
in social matters, and moreover is a
most interesting speaker. All citizens
are invited to attend this meeting.
There will be no charge for admission.
