Learning.

In manner sl1epHc
Steps he to the wheel
Almost cataleptic
Doth he seem and feel;
BY and by a quaking
Smiles him to the bone;
Hopes the undertaking
Wont be seen or known.
Now with some resistance
Up a leglet goes;
Holds it with assistance
Agonizing throes
Crawls into the saddle
With foolish smoker;
Mumbles artless twaddle
AS if deep in liquor.
Thinks all eyes behold him
F'idgets i'll at ease;
Prays TO them that hold him
ITO be careful. pleaser
Grips the handles sadly.
Holds them like wise;
Feet are flying madly-
Do not cut much ice.
Wiggles, wobbles, wrestles;
Head is swirhng round;
Presently he nestles
Fondly to the ground
To his feet he scrambles,
Kicks aside a stone;
Smiles and grandly CANDLES
He can go alone.
Optics cleaning pleasure,
Thinks it mighty fine;
Quickening his measure
Shoots a slight incline.
Fifty yards before him
Spies lonely tree,
Madness cometh DER him
Strikes 1t pompously.
Stars their fight are winging
In lurid glare;
Mud and sand are clinging
To his face and hair.
But up he rises bravely,
Swears a grand refrain,
Giggles-and suavely
Does it all again.

1t is TO be hoped that Mr.. Cam was
fully informed as to the exact situation
when he said in the Recorders Court yes
terday, that there was no politics in the
Wallace case. It would be regrettable
indeed if nasty faction politics were TO in
f1uence the administration of justice. 1t
is certain. however, that the public has
the impression that politics is factor
not only in the Wallace case, but also in
the squabble that is going on among the

faction politics made it impossible not only
to hold the scales OF justice evenly, but to
properly protect the health, and even the
lives, of the people.

BABY'S FACE MASS or SORES

When my little sister was four months old her
cheeks became red and infamed. Small pimples
broke out over her face and it was one mass of
scabs, which almost closed her eyes and reached
into the corners of her mouth. For several
weeks physician attended her, but she derived
little or no benefit from his treatment. We

The contingency of a declination on the
part of Admiral Dewey to accept that
fine house in Washington seems never
20 have struck those who are gathering
the Dewey Home" fund. But has any
body the assurance that the scheme meets
with the approval of the proposed bene-
ficiary? The admiral Is known to be a
modest man, with very fine sense OF
propriety. He does not need a house; he
is in very easy circumstances financially
He has a large salary, and probably also
a good-sized bank account. 1t might be
his idea, as it was that of Gen. Wade
Hampton recently, that a public testimo-
NAL Of esteem should not take that par
ticular shape. Gen. Hampton's house had
been destroyed by fire, and the fine old
gentleman had been left homeless, as well
as without means, in his old. age; but nc
declined the proffer of the people OF South
Carolina 20 rebuild his house. We do not
mean 10 discourage contributions TO the
Dewey fund. We think Dewey is worthy
of anything he will accept from his CRATE
full and admiring fellow citizens. But the
question is, will he accept a house?

The New Graves at Arlington.
BY Edward Marshall.

Ugly in the bare red of it's monotony of
newly turned clay, the new graves of the
soldiers, dead in the Spanish-Amerjcan
war, will pitifully bear their flowers this
Memorial day
1t was Sunday afternoon when 1 drove

It were a picnic ground The spreading
trees and rich turf of the old cemetery
were green and peaceful. Where lay

little flags, those bits OF color on our

the cheapest cloth, and the red and the
blue in them was stenciled on with cheap
paint, which will run down and spoil the
white stripes when the first rain comes.
On one or two of all the thousand graves
were tiny nosegays. l fancy that they had
been put there by little girl that morn
ing. l saw her going ABOUT weeping, with
some other punches of flowers in her
hands. She told me that no one she knew

Two Faded Leaves Mark CaprOn's
Grave.
I saw Capt. Capron a moment or two
after he had been hit at Las Guasimas. 1
saw his grave a Arlington Al Guasimas
he so covered himself with glory that he
made the brave men in that brave regi-
ment of Rough Riders look at him in
amazement, and more than one of them
there, in the excitement of the first battle,
took time enough as he passed him TO
pause and bare his head. At Arlington a
grateful country has not taken time to
pause long enough in it's monotonous
workaday hours TO put flowers on his
grave. Two faded palm leaves We're laid
upon it. That was, all.
Near his grave is that of another soldier

handsome granite stone, and some one
had smothered the sodded mound with
flowers the day I saw 1t. 1t was he who
made a famous remark. Some one had
said that our landing in Cuba would be a
gamble
who wouldn't gamble for a new star
in the f1ag?" Buckley quietly remarked,
and went on chewing his tobacco.
To one who had seen the men who are
now lying at Arlington in camp and on
the battlefield, il was tremendously i'm
pressive to gaze at their last resting
places. l raised my eyes, and across a
beautiful ravine the silvery sheen of the
Potomac greeted them. Beyond that lies

THE NEW MEMORIAL DAY.

quent trips, have not taken all. There
are still enough down there to make the
celebration OF May 30, 1899, celebration
unparalleled in our history
There are men-soldiers who have
fought other foes .on those pestilential
shores than the Spanish--who have a
claim for the honor and reverence of their
countrymen. The earth upon their graves
is newly-turned, and about them the ST.
lent colony grows-augmented day by day
by the stricken ones from the hospitals.
The action of the United States govern
meht in transferring to their own land
those who fell in its service is unprece-
denied And it is a source of wonder to
the Cuban natives. These latter have seen
great transports loaded with the dead sail
away from their island many times since
the first of the year, and they marvel at
a nation which is willing and eager to
spend time and money in moving those
whose usefulness Is past.
And they will marvel still more at the
spirit which will prompt the American
soldiers on Memorial day to deck with
flowers and flags mounds of earth. and
weep at the memory of comrades gone
