A slender, long-haired youth came in and
approached the mania the desk, says the
Chicago Tribune
Here's an idea for you," said he 'Tt oc-
CURED to me a little while ago while l
was walking across the street. Give me a
sheet of paper, please. Thanks"
Sitting down at an adjoining desk he
wrote these lines and read them aloud:
And now green leaves have come
In place of icicles;
Life Is one long misery,
Dodging bicycles"
That's very good" said the man at the
desk, Except that great many of the
paid-up subscribers of this paper pro-
nounce that word bicycle as if it were
spelled bi-sigh-kI They claim that the de-
rivation of the word-which, by the way,
should be bicycle instead of bicycle-ren-
ders any other pronunciation out of the
question. In proof of that position tney
point to the latest dictionaries, particular
ly in England, where the word originated
-"
But
81 know what you would say You would
claim that poetic license justifes 'bsickles'
aside from the fact that most persons pro-
nounce it that way anyhow. But why not
dodge the word entirely? Why not write it
thus:
land now green leaves have come,
Once more one feels
Life is one long misery,
Dodging the wheels?'
THAT seems to knock all the ginger out
of it. doesn't it?" asked the caller, doubt
fully
Then try this:
land now green leaves have come.
My honest Michael
Life is one long misery,
Dodging the bi-sigh-k'l.'
1.-THE trouble with that" said the other
beginning to perspire, lis that it hasn't got
the swing, you know, the get-up-and-
howl-you know what 1 mean-it isn't
spontaneous. 1t looks as if the honest
Michael had been logged in with a good
deal of effort. Doesn't ii seem so to your"
. I'm afraid you are right" rejoined the
man at the desk. There wasn't any more
of this was there?"@
mo. That's all there is of 1t. I thought,
perhaps"
HAS your life been made miserable yet
by having TO dodge bicycles?"
mot exactly. L"
''Have you seen any green leaves yetY'
'fNo"
''That was what I feared" said the man
at the desk, handing the production back
to the poet.
'sThis is about four weeks premature
Bring it in again some time in the latter
part of May"
The visitor buttoned his heavy overcoat
about him and went out to face the April
zephyrs again.

Snnnish Threatn.

The threats eminating from Madrid and
other cities of Spain that in the event of
war between the United States and Spain
rich Spaniards would fit out privateers
and prey upon our commerce have no
terrors for the American people. They in
dictate, however, that nothing would give
the Spaniards greater satisfaction than a
chance to play the part of pirates 1t is
probable that their privateersmen would
not be content with legitimate privateer-
ing, but would indulge in deeds of cruelty
such as are not recognized by the civilized
methods of warfare of the present day.
But Spanish privateers wouldn't have
any such picnic as they anticipate. They
are mistaken In thinking that the United
States have such a commerce as would
afford them a rich field for robbery. AS
a matter of fact nearly all our foreign
commerce is carried in foreign bottoms,
and, hence, would be protected by foreign
flags. The small part that is carried in
American bottoms would be put under
foreign flags, and, therefore, would be Sc
cure against Spanish privateers.
AS for our sea coast cities, they are
now pretty well defended. or will be be-
fore they are exposed to danger from
Spain. Besides, our cruisers would be all
along the coast, and would take good care
that Spanish war vessels did not get with
in striking distance.
The Spaniards who talk so glibly
of becoming pirates, and getting rich off
American commerce, do not appear to
have taken into consideration the diff
Guilty they would have to get fuel for their
vessels. They wouldn't be able to prowl
in the vicinity of our coast very long at
a time. In fact, they wouldn't find 1t safe
to be there at all. If rich Spaniards
should fit out privateers in the event of
war with the hope of improving their for
tunes they would soon know much more
about the United States than they do now
and they wouldn't be any richer in pocket.

Charlotte Smith, the reformer, went to
the navy department the other day to Sc
cure from Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
authority to raise a regiment of women
for government service, either at sea or
on shore, as they might be needed. Mr..
Roosevelt is known as the fighting man of
the administration. He has faced enraged
buffalos on the Western plains, and Tam
many tigers in New York without finch
ing; he has been chased by Indians ana
by office hunters, without qualm of
fear. But when Charlotte Smith sought
him, he incontinently fed. His courage all
oozed out at his finger tips. He was not
equal to the occasion, and did not attempt
to live out an interview; he simply made
the interview impossible by getting out of
his office by back way. A clerk in the
office reminded the formidable Charlotte
of the old proverb which says that if
the wind were always west by sou'west
women might take ships to sea, and told
her TO come back when the wind set per-
manently in that direction and she might
see MIR. Roosevelt

There is pending in the New York Leg
of intoxicating liquors to women. 1t is
doubted that the measure will pass. Gen.
B. f. Tracy declares that such a law
would be unjust and unconstitutional The
bill, by the way, is directed against the
department stores. 1t is alleged that wo-
men now buy TASKS of whisky in these
stores, and that the business of serving
them with liquors in this manner is rapid
" increasing.

The Cuban armistice was determined on
by the Madrid authorities on Saturday
night, and on Sunday morning Gen. Blan-
CO. at Havana, was cabled to promulgate
manifesto to that effect. Nevertheless.
on Sunday, while the Governor General
was spreading through Cuba the Queens
order for a cessation of hostilities pend
ing arrangements for permanent peace.
two Spanish cruisers with six battauons
of troops aboard sailed from Cadiz for
Cuba, and the announcement was made
that additional troops would leave for
Cuba within the next few days.

The step Once Taken.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem.

This country has now taken the position
that Spanish rule in Cuba must cease, and
that Spain must remove her troops and
flag from the island
1t was an unwise step in the beginning,
but it has been taken, and it will be diff
cult to withdraw from il.
An armistice which is not coupled with
the guarantee an advance of absolute in
dependence for Cuba will not alter the pur-
pose of this country to forcIbly intervene.
The people of the United States are now
determined that Spanish rule in Cuba must
end, and and no plea nor pretext for de-
lay will be seriously considered for a mo-
ment.

transpire which will send the country into
war again? The crisis is acute.

pose to offer the services of the Holland
Danes to this government, in the event of

cisely what the Holland Danes could do.

CURRENT COMMENT.

War Taxes.
From the Richmond Dispatch CDem.).

We hazard nothing in predicting that
should war come, these figures, and the
articles named for increase of taxation,
and, as probable new subjects, would
prove only starting points. Yes, figures are
dry, but sometimes they open the eyes of
the people and cause them to think when
nothing else Will.

possibly get along without their direc-
ton.

In Spain 1t is the army which makes

At Galveston there is an English owned
ship. manned by a Spanish captain and
crew. taking on an American owned car

gests the interesting question, what would

of hostilities, if she should be held up
on the high seas by privateer flying
either the Spanish or the American flag?

have before them proposition to write
into the fundamental law a section design
ed especially for the government of the
Pullman Palace Car Company. 1t does
not appear that the Pullman company
has ever received any special privileges
from the state of Louisiana, that 1t has
ever asked for any such privileges, or
that 1T is likely ever to do so. The
company gets no franchise from the state.
1t is difficult to see any good reason why
there should be made in the constitution
distinction between the Pullman com
pany and any other corporation.

The Spanish government has no need of
spies in this country TO report the move
ment of ships and troops and the mount
ing of guns. The enterprising newspaper
press is publishing all that sort Of thing.

A Name With Something In 1t.
From the Louisville Courier Journal Dem

One of SPANS warships is called Carlos
V. What reflections that name must bring
up in every Spaniard who knows anything
about the history of his country. AT the
beginning of the reign of Carlos V. the en-
pire of Spain was the greatest on earth.
To-day she finds herself resorting to bull
fights to raise money nominally for de-
Tending her foreign possessions, but really
to avert revolution at home.

II the Spaniards adhere to the armistice
in Cuba and the insurgents keep on fight
ing, what can the United States do to-
wards pacifying the island? Under such
circumstances, and without being at ell
hippant On speaking of so serious a mat
ter as the killing of non-combatant men,
women and children. it may be said that
the insurgents would have a picnic. 1t
seems to have been forgotten that the in
surgents, who probably do not represent
a majority of the white people of Cuba,
began the fighting, and that they have
done the greater part of the killing end
burning, and the wrecking OF trains, and
otherwise destroying property. 1t was tie
insurgents who killed those several Ger
man subjects the other day and burned
their sugar mill, for which Spain has
been called upon by Germany to render
satisfaction. If the Spaniards observe the
armistice In good faith, and neglect to
shoot back, the insurgents may soon own
the island.
