A rythmic glIduuJ To- their song;
And night and morning down the lnnc
Drifts by the COW bells rude refrain.

And far across the meadow swings;
The swallow skins ~ lines OF gracc

Above. below. and everywhere
a sense Of living thrills the air:
Glad message through tho silence sent,
With earth and wood and sky Is blcnt.
The hcdgc-row blossom stains tho sod
The south wind makes the grassc- nod.

Down the green hillside amhling stray.

If General Merritt Is to attend the sit
tlngs OF the peace conference at Paris
he Will be able to simplify the work Of
the American commissioners, at least to
a considerable degree. 1t is understood
that the general is thoroughly Informed
upon all the conditions in the Philip
pines, and Is fully equipped to give our
commissioners information which would
be Of the greatest value to them. In
this connection. Merritt will probably
be also the bearer OF such views ana In
formation as Dewey may have. In con-
ncction with the Philippine phase OF the

FLOTILLA HAS STARTED.
Spain'S Fleet Leaves Canary Is
lands for Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Cable-
grams coming from three different
sources, announcing that Spain's for
midable torpedo flotilla was headed in
this direction, were the principal dis
turbing elements in the developments
of the day. In the Navy Department
the news caused a great stir. 1t caused
renewed activity in the work of naval
preparations and resulted in the
prompt allotment of an additional mil
lion dollars for the purchase and fit
ting out of an improVised torpedo feet
The news OF the f1Otilla's departure
came from three official sources, res
pectively to the State, Navy and War
departments. 1t is that thirteen swift
torpedo boat destroyers and torpedo
boats, the hornets of the Spanish navy,
left the Canary Islands today for Porto
Rico. These vessels are merely accom-
panied by armed transports and not
by men-of-war, although Spain had
proposed to protect the flotilla by the
Christobal Colon, an armored cruiser
of 1000 tons.

Will Keen On Shooting.

John NJ. Kea, captain Of Co. G, n. G.
H, said last evening that his men were
so much encouraged over winning the
first bout for the department trophy,
that they were anxious to keep up their
steady practice right along, in the
hope of making three straight wins Of
the shield. They will have a go next
at the Marlin trophy and again for
Regimental bars. These two events
will give fine training for the second
round for the department trophy.

Fixing Flood Houses.

J. D. McVeigh, with several assist
ants, has been representing the Board
Of Health in the flooded district. The
work has been in the interest of public
health, the natives who were driven
from their homes by the rush of waters
and the owners of the property in the
line Of the flood. In a number of cases
the natives were back in the damp
houses in a couple OF days and had not
given much attention to cleaning the
places. Mr.. McVeigh has given such
advice as was necessary and with his
men has assisted the householders. The

fund the Coast.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-FolIow-
ing the announcement today that the
torpedo fotilla had left the Canaries
came this announcement by Secretary
Long, indicating the placing of our

commander of the fleet at Key West.

The department has succeeded in
purchasing eight steam yachts and
four steam tugs, presumably at or near
New York, for use in the auxiliary
naval fleet
The Governors Of Massachusetts and
New York are requested to direct their
naval militia to assume charge Of the
monitors assigned for the protection
of Boston and New York harbOrs.
Telegraphic orders have been sent

Simply stood and gssped for breath;
Stricken dumb at Marys chidings,
Feared to tell Of MichaeIs death.

"Michaers dead. There's no denying;
Twas a case of Hobson's choice;
He was loading in the cutting, and was Just

Swiss Compulsion

The law for compulsory attendance in
Switzerland is peculiar, though it seems to
work well. If child does not come to
school on. particular day, the parents get
a notice from the public authority that he
is fined so many francs; the second day the
amount is increased, and by the third day
the amount has become serious one. As a
result there is very little absence from
school, though the distances often are sew
eral miles. In case of sickness the pupil is
excused, but if there is any suspicion OF
shamming doctor is sent. II the suspicion
