A PAUSE.

A moments pause for longing and for
dreaming,
A moment looking backward on the
way;
To kiss my hand to long-past turrets
cleaning,
To stand and think of life Yesterday!
A little time to dream of sunlit hours
spent where white towers rise against
the sky;
To tread again that path of too sweet
flowers,
To hear again the greeting and good
bye!
What is there, say you, in that far-off
city
OF my past living and past loving
Wrapped in it's golden haze, to stir my
And call the bitter sigh to the be-
reft?
The memory of a touch warm, trust
ing, clinging,
The memory of that touch grown cold
as ice?
A voice hushed that was pure as wild
birds singing?
A love whose bright flame burned in
sacrifice?
Only a grave? Life of today will teach
me
Its stream fleets fast for sorrow and
regret,
Beyond this turn it's sweeping wave will
reach me,
I must go with it, as we all go! Yet
A moments pause for longing and for
dreaming,
A moments looking backward on the
way;
To kiss my hand to long-past turrets
cleaning,
To stand and think of life of yester-
day!

Story Of a Quartermaster.

1t would seem as if some Of the boys
at Santiago were in about as big a
hurry to get home as they were to get
there, and for a better reason. Old SOL
diers say that nc army ever suffered
so much in so short a time without
reason as our troops around Santiago,
and there is going to be a lot Of inqui-
ries and Investigations and crimina-
tons and re~criminations before we get
through talking about it. They tell a
story Of a German-American regiment
which landed one night in a rain so
heavy that it seemed as if the bottom
had dropped out Of the sky, without
tents or blankets or ponchos, or any
form Of shelter. Everybody seemed to
think it was the quartermaster's fault.
The colonel overhauled him, the lieu
tenat colonel CAV him a blowing up,
the surgeon swore at him, and he got
it Oh all sides from the three majors
and every captain in the regiment. FL
nally, when his patience was entirely
exhausted a sergeant from one of the
companies inquired when the tents
would be up.
"Sumdimes or never" was the tart
reply.
well, Dutchy," was the impertinent
reply, "can't you give my men some
blankets or ponchos or something's"
Yes, by gosh! I glib dem eberytings
they wants anyhow altogether. Yust
tell 'em cherry man gets a hair mat
tress and a silk umprella. BY gosh!
You fellows drinks 1 can do e~berydings?'
he cried, growing furious. You drinks
1 makes dis rain! You drinks I make dis
war! You drinks I was Presidents Nc
Ginkly and Sheneral Miles and cherry
old ting! I didn't ask you to gum to
dis war! You sit on the steps and you
CRY cause you don't get ordered al

don't lax it any more und gone blame
of the qu~ardermaster! I saw to = nit
war, to = NIT Spain, to - nit cherry
tings!' and he turned into the lark to
hide his emotion.

VERGE OF FAMINE.
Captain of Captured Schooner So Re-
port of Havana Situation
Quiet at Key West.

KEY WEST, May 5.-The exodus of
naval men, after brief return visit
here, has been the only incident of the
dullest day since the hostilities opened.
Where they have gone to is officially
unannounced, but surmise is plentiful
and varied. The fact that the big bat
tleships and monitors eoaled to the full
lest capacity before steaming away is
taken to indicate plan occupying con-
siderable time. The Cuban blockade is
still rigidly kept by the smaller cruisers,
under the temporary command of Cap
tain Converse of the Montgomery.
The only arrivals here were the steam
er Evelyn from Newport News with a
cargo of coal for the fleet, and the reve-
nue. cutter Window from Hampton
Roads.
According to Captain Little of the
fishing schooner Antonio Paco, cap
captured by the gunboat Newport few
days ago, Havana is on the verge of
famine. Food is bringing fabulous
prices and the people are consequently
starving. The soldiers are Selling
whatever provisions are accessible. and
the citizens are burying their food in
yards and cellars. tIf l could have
slipped passed the blockade, !" says Cap
tain Little, '.my fish would have
brought their weight in gold"
The Spanish fishing smack De Sep
tembre was brought in by prize crew
from the Helena She was taken eight
days ago in Yucatan channel by the
gunboat.

CLEVELAND, May 5.-Hon. Chauncey
M. Depew, who was in Cleveland at
tending the annual meetings of the Lake
Shore and Nickle Plate railways, in
speaking of the war, said:
81 am of the opinion that had Presi-
dent Mckinley been left to himself we
should have no war. The trouble is
that in congress there are number of
men who are clamorous for fight.
No, do not think they would go to
the front, but war talk is sometimes ex-
cellent political capital Sooner or later
they would have embroiled the nation
in a war over the Cuban question,
whether the Maine incident had hap
pened or not.

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.

An Important Deter minatlOn is Reach
ed, to Leave the Dates of Ussher's
Chronology Out Of Printed
Bibles.
NEW YORK, May II AT the annual
meeting Of the American Bible Society
hell in the Bible house today, the fol-
lowing report of the years work was
presen, ed:
Ia visw of the confessed erroneous
ness of many of the dates in Ussher's
chronology as ordinarily printed in
the margin of the bible, and in res
ponse to al appeal received from the
Massachusetts Bible Society, the
board of managers have decided that
in printing new editions of the English
Bible all the dates shall hereafter be
ON tied.
For seventy-five years the Amer lean
Bible Society has employed agents OF
district superintendent to labor In
various parts of the Uuited States for
the purpose of organizing and stimu-
lating auxiliary societies and in other
ways advancing the interests OF the
bible cause. The expenses of this sys-
tenn have amounted during recent
years to about $50, 600 snuually, while
at an earlier period they were more
, than twice that sum. This outlay, es-
pecially for the last few years, has not
been met by satisfactory results, either
in the collection of funds or in the cir
culatiop of the Scriptures. 1t is now
proposed to divide the untry into six
or eight districts, and pla e each uB-
der the ove rsight OF a field secretary
whose field duty shall be not to visit
auxiliary societies, but to present to
cecil siast cal bodies. churches and in
dividuals the specific and unceasing
claims of the society.
The issues from the Bible house dur
ing 1899 (spars from those sent to for
eign countries) were 622.l35 volumes.
Of the whole number 574 $50 were sold
and Al, 255 went out as grants.
The fore gn appropriations for the
year were made on q reduced scale,
but in view of manifold opportunities
for expanding work, especially at the
present month in South America, aud
in the near future In Cuba, it is great
ly to be desired that this reduction
should be at once arrested aud that
expansion should take its place.
