While thus he prayed she earned tho food he ate
But Oft he reprimanded h r. said he;
"Thou Bhoudst devote thy life to prayer, like me.

At last his words sank deep into her heart.

They prayed until the sun in heaven was high
Then Hunger to the pious man drew nigh

The good mans soul was vexed. "'Tis plain" he

"That even piety must needs be fed,

when Father Carves tho Duck.

From the atlanta journal.
We all look on with anxious eyes
When father cRrves the duck.
And mother almost always sighs
When father caryes tho duck.
Then ali OF US prepare TO rise
And hold our bibs before our eyes.
And be prepared for some surprise
When father carves the duck.
He braces up and grabs fork
Wheno'er he cAryes a duck,
And Won't allow q soul to talk
Until he's carved the duck.
The fork is Jabbed into th- sides.
Across tho breast the knife he slldes,
And every careful person hides
From nying chips OF duck.
The platter always seems to slip
When father caryes duck,
And how IL makes the dishes skip.
Potatoes ny Amuck-
The squash and cabbage leap In spA0a.
We get aome gravy on our face.
And father mutters Hindu grace
Whene'er no caryeS duck.
We thus have learned to walk around
The dining room and pluck
From or tho windowsills and walls
Our share OF fathers duck.
While iather KrowlA and blows and Jaws,
And sweArs tie knife was full OF nawa.
And mother jaws at him because
He couldn't carve duck.

Unanimity of the Opinion Almost
Warrants the Conclusion of
knowledge.
No Certainty That Cervera Is
Not Already on His Way
Home to Spain.
Late Developments Warrant the
Theory of a Change of Plans
By SpaniardS.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-N otwith
standing the persistent rumors in cir
culation to the effect that great naval
engagement had been fought in the
Windward passage, resulting in the de-
struction of the Spanish feet, it can be
stated positively that the navy depart.
ment has no information that tends in
the slightest to confirm these rumors.
Unless the improbable happens, there
is no immediate prospect of naval en-.
gagement of any magnitude, in the
opinion of the navy department. of
hclals. The unanmity with which the
best informed express this view almost
warrants the conclusion that it is based
upon knowledge that the hostile fleets
are again far apart. Indeed there is
no certainty that Admiral Cervera is
not already bound homeward, provid-
ing he has succeeded in securing a sup.
ply of coal, for he could not make the
run back to the Canaries with less than
about 1850 or 5000 tons.
Complete Change of Plans.
There are signs in Madrid, that have
been noted here, seeming to warrant
the supposition that there has been
complete change Of the Spanish plan of
conducting the war. Indications are
believed to point to modification, if
not total abandonment of the efforts
to conduct the campaign in Cuba and
the West Indian waters. The natural
conclusion, if this premise is well
founded, would be that the Spaniards
were going to concentrate their entire
forces to the defense of the Philippines,
with the view to retaining them in the
event peace is forced upon them, by the
principle of international law which
limits victorious nation in indemni-
flying herself from the vanquished to
the territory she actually occupies
when peace is declared.
So the retreat of the Spanish squad
ron from the West Indies would be
significant, first in the danger in which
it would place Dewey Immediately,
and second in the hint it would convey
that the Spanish mind for the first time
contemplates the possibilities of peace.
