Brave Love.

He'd nothing but his violin,
I'd nothing but my song,
But were wed when skies were blue
And summer days were long.
And when rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared to WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberrfes
Or slept among the hay
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear play
The old tuneS-the dear old tunes;
We could not starye for long,
While my man had his violin
And my sweet iove-song.
The world has aye gone we'll with Us,
Old since
Our homeless wandering down the lanes
1t long ago was done.
But those who wait for gold or gear,
For houses and for kline:
Till youths sweet spring grows brown and sere
And love and beauty pine,
Will never know the joy of hearts
That met without fear.
When you had but your violin
And / a song, my dear.

of killing their enemies, private individ-
uals will occasionally kill theirs So long
as men are dubbed, robbed, imprisoned,
disgraced, hanged by ths governing class,
just SO lang wifi the idea Of vlolehce and
brutality be born ID the SOULS of men.
Governments impris0h men and then
hound them when they are released. Hate
will never die so long as men are taken
from useful production on the specious
plea of patriotism, and bayonets CLEAN
in Gods pure sunshine.
And the worst part about making SOL
der of man is not that soldier kills
brown men or white men, but that the SOL
der loses his own soul.
In America just now there are strong
signs of following the example of modern
Italy. To divert the attention of men from
useful production to war, waste and
wealth through conquest is to invite moral
disease and death. The history of nations
dead and gone is one. They grew STRONG"
and died because they did. Insurance ac-
tuaries say that athletes are very bad
risks.
Switzerland today is the least illiterate
as we'll as the most truly prosperous coup-
try in the world. She is, in fact, the only
republic, for the people themselves make
the laws. Her government is of the peo-
pie. In Switzerland to work with your
hands is honorable-manual training for
both boys and girls Is a part of the public
school system. Her gilded social aristoc-
racy Is either English or American

Speed in the Navy
Casters Magazine

From Casters Magazine.
With the exception of torpedo boats and
a few small pleasure craft, the American
built Russian cruiser Variag is today the
fastest vessel afioat, having recently gone
through a seven a half hours trial run
at speed of from 236 to 23.7 knots, or
N1 to 272o miles an hour This best hour
ly transatlantic record, which now Is
held by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Line
steamship Deutschland is % knots, or 26.45
miles, and this affords a very suggestive
standard for comparison.
The United States tiple-screw cruiser
Minneapolis about six years ago developed
slightly more than % knots during her con-
tract trial, but, as in the cases of most
naval vessels 1t was not expected that this
would be demanded hour after hour in a
run OF several days, and 1t was not until
the succeeding year, 1895, that practical
demonstration was given for the first time
that naval vessel could actually hold her
own with one of the crack Atlantic liners
This was afforded by the United States
cruiser Columbia in her phenomenal run
from the Needles, near Southampton, to
Sandy Hook Lightship, off the American
short, in a few minutes less than seven
days, or, to be exact, in days % hours
and 40 minutes, the average speed for the
whole trip being 1854 knots, or 213 miles
an hour. The Columbia at the time was
practically racing against the steamer Au-
gusta Victoria of the Hamburg American
Line. Making proper allowance for the
difference in the length of the two routes
the Augusta Victoria having sailed from
Crebourg, the same rate of speed was
maintained by both ships.
Since that time high-speed g-distance
runs of war vessels have been repeated so
that the impression has at last been wiped
out that modern warshipS were simply
boxes full of delicate and complex machine
cry scarcely fitted for the hard knocks
which they were really Intended to with
stand. But among all the swift cruisers
and battleships the Varfags 23.7 knots
give her today first place.

THE SLAYER OF KING HUMBERT.

Switzerland has no navy, for the same
reason that Bohemia has not and While
every man Is a soldier, yet three weeks
service every year is only useful play
SPELL In Switzerland there Is no beggar-
dom and little vice. Everywhere life and
property are safe. The people are healthy,
prosperous and happy. Switzerland minds
her own political business and the chief
tenet of her political creed is,, I'VE Will
attend to our own affairs" She will only
fight If invaded, and fortunately she is not
big enough to indulge in lingo swagger.
The flag of Switzerland is the White
Cross-white on a red background-and
this is the symbol of peace and amity the
wide world over. The Geneva CroSs"-a
red cross on white background, designed
in compliment to Switzerland, Is the one
flag upon which no guns are trained.
And now at the parting of the ways
would it not be wise for America to choose
between the example of Switzerland and
Italy?
America is a giant; it is well to have a
giants strength but not well to use it like
q giant. This is the richest country the
world has ever known-in treasure and in
men and women If we mind our own
business and devote our energies to the
arts of peace we can solve a problem
that has vexed the world from the begin
ming of time. Shall we make our country
blossom like the rose, or shall we follow
the example of Italy?

THE "SNIPING"WAY
Is Not Generally Approved in Civilized
Warfare

'sniping" is the favorite pastime of the
uncivilized fighter. The Afghan likes it,
the hillman likes it-of that the Tirah cam
paign was proof-and the low-class Boer
likes 1t; the better class Boer does not.
When Piet DeWet visited General Paget
at Lindley, says the National Review, an
OFFICER forming part of his escort through
the lines pointed out that 1t was a bar
barous adjunct to the hostilities and did
not affect the issue, the only result being
that some luckless individual was killed
or wounded, and that brought reprisals
DeWet admitted that the practice was
wrong, but threw the responsibility for IL
on his young bloods, whom 1t was difficult
to keep in hand There were three days
of freedom from ''sniping," but 1t was
then resumed All things considered, our
men have done admirably with the new
type of fighting which has been forced on
them. 1t is a semi-barbarous warfare to
which nowadays few arms are accustomed.
1t reminds the students of history of Brad
docks disastrous campaign; of the struggle
in the Wilderness, with it's terrible cost of
life; of the ambushes of the franc tireurs
and of the savage reprisals meted out to
them yet which in point of ferocity did
not satisfy Bismaroks desire for venge-
ance. 1t even throws light on Spain 8
struggle in Cuba with the insurgents,
lively limited. No wonder the Canadians
and Australians have up to date shown
best in this type of warfare. Their life and
surroundings to some extent fit them for
it, But surely the thought of pittins the
unframed town hand, fired though he be
by disregard of death, fidelity TO duty d
pipeclay military methods, against a foe
who holds perhaps ip the entire world the
record for tact, skill and dexterity, Is
enough to inspire initial uneasness.

This caused some friction, but 1t was en-
tirely local. The New York negro is un-

Is slight. He is getting out Of the way Is
fast as he can die and Is not Causing

The vaudevillers of the Tepderloin are
probably "sorer'' on the negro than any
one else. The popularity of rag-time and
coon songs has made place for the black.

sixty persons.
She might maintain the priests, but she
cannot possibly advance and carry the
army that rides upon her back. Italy is
the extreme type of all European countries
except Switzerland. Holland, Norway ana
Sweden. These last stand for inteingence
sobriety beauty and worth.
Italy is rotting at the core The moss Is
at work pulling down the palaces that Ca
primo planned; the grass springs from be-
tween the paving stones where Michael
Angelo trod and the noble Romans and
courtly Florentines, like the crawling liz
ards only bask in the sun in winter and
move but to keep in the shade in summer.
CONSUMPTION kills ambition. Men will
not work where the government demands
half their wages, as Italy does. Only two
careers worth mentioning are open to as
piring youth in Italy-the army and the
Church Manual labor is held everywhere
in contempt apd this accounts for the
seeming superiority of folks and the
brazen beggardom. The rich set the ex-
ample of idleness. Italy's art Is thing

RoCKEFELLERs MEAGER MEALS
Is Dyspeptic and Four Months Each
Year He Works as Laborer

From the New York World.
John D. Rockefeller works as laborer
in the fields four months out OF every year
works In overalls from dawn till dusk.
And at dusk homeward the Croesus plods
his weary way-to a supper OF stale bread
and SKINNED milk.
No cream, no butter no meat, no pastry,
no fresh bread, no white bread, no cham
payne, no burgundy, no caulif1ower au graf
in, no nice sauces or grav1es.
And It Is all because he has dyspepsia
He returned from Europe few days ago.
The doctors held consultation over MN
and decided that he was In very bad way
They packed him off to the Adirondacks,
and he must stay there for many months.
He mustn't bother his head about the
Standard Oil Company, which Is paying 4S
million dollars in dividends this year, to
say nothing of the PROFITS from Its ten great
banks and trust companies. He mustn't sit
up late, he mustn't smoke, he mustn't drink
anything but SKINNED milk and mineral
waters, he mustn't eat anything but graham
crackers. He must take a long walk every
day, whether he feels like 1t or not, he
MI watch his temperature to see that he
doe not get overheated, and no matter
how thirsty he may be he must not drink
water or milk that is cooler than his own
blood.
Mr. Rockefeller has been a sufferer from
acute chronic dyspepsia for about fifteen
years.
He was not seriously alarmed about the
condition until the spring OF 1891 The dis
ease reached SO acute a stage at that time
that the multi millionaire was obliged to
give up all his business activities.
He retired to his palace at Tarrytown
overlooking the Hudson river, dressed In q
suit of overalls and Joined his men in the
fields He arose at every morning and
worked till sunset.
Gradually the color came back to his face
the pains and nervousness diminished and
he gained In weight After nearly four
months of this heroic treatment Mr.. Rock
efeller was again able to return to his office
and assume his many responsibilities.
This programme is repeated every sum-
mer. The life of laborer for four months
a year enables him to barely put through
the winter. Every summer he Is obliged to
become a laborer again for his health
sake.
