A BIT OF SPRING.
The Pensive Poet Said the Crocus
Is the Rooster of
Flowers.

"Do you wish any spring poetry today"
inquired long haired caller, and the lamb
like editor reached for his gun. The caller
saw the motion and held up his hand ap-
pealingly.
''Shoot if you will this long haired head,
but do not kill the poet dead" he crooned,
softly. Did l understand you to say you
would like some spring poetry to-day?" he
added, with mild insistence.
Il would like it as well to-day as any day."
replied the editor "but do not liket it any
day There's housecleaning and moving and
a superabundance of bile and torpid livers
and influenza and enough other things to
contend with in the spring, without having
any poetry showed in on us"
'But think of the kind mine is, insisted
the visitor; 'lsten,' and he pulled out
dingy-looking slip of paper and read:
'"There bursts the jonquil from the earth
To meet the growing showers.
And there the crOcuS presses its plumeS,
The rooster of the flowers"
"What do you think of that?"
"Who in thunder ever heard of a flower
being a rooster?" queried the editor. "The
most unlimited poetic license will not per-
NIT that sort of wrench to the imagina-
ton
STEADY, steady, my Pegasis," said the WIS.,
itor, soothingly, Il knew you would be kick
ing out of the traces, and | don't blame you,
for there is really startling thought in that
suggestion. 1t is plain enough when you
see it"
(Which isn't saying that anybody can
ever see it."
Only the blind will not see. Now OBJ
serve, please. The crocus is the rooster of the
flowers is what l said, didn't |? And / am
right, for the rooster is crow cuss, amt
he? Now, what have you got to say?"
And what the editor said is not fit for pub
ication-N. Y Sun.

CURED THE GROWERS. J
How the Late Gen. LawtOn Served
q Group of Complaining
Officers.

In the army the old private soldier is
expected to do a certain amount of
''growling' in the comparative soli-
tude of his tent or the biyouac, but the
officer who not only ''growls'' but who
finds fault with his orders is not high
ly regarded, to say the least, by his su.
periors, says an exchange. A corre'
spondent in the Philippines tells how
the late Gen. Lawton once served a
group of volunteer officers who gave
themselves this privilege of Kicking"
During the expedition from San Is
idro northward in the fall of 1899, the
command halted for a time at Cabana-
tuari, on the Rio Grande. 1t was a cold,
wet, dismal day, and the young officers
of volunteer regiment, who had been
sent down to repair a cable stretched
across the river, did not like their work.
They sat on the bank and bewailed
their fate and the rain and presently
the darkness, and INDUCED in pointed
criticisms of the arrangements of the
commanding general.
Just then Gen. Lawton, in big rubber
boots and waterproof coat, but smeared
from head to foot with mud, appeared
on the scene. He was out to look mat
ters over, and had overheard the growl-
ing and the criticism.
Good evening, gentlemen" he said.
How are you getting along?"
1--WE are having a little difficulty, but
we're working hard, general" answered
their senior.
The general looked across through
the rain toward the opposite shore of
the river.
81 would be glad to have you go
across the river, gentlemen, he said,
and see what needs to be done there.
You will have charge of that end of the
construction of the new cable and
ferry
A boat was worked to the opposite
shore by means of a rope cable. The
officers got into the boat and were
worked across. After they had landed
IN the other side, Gen. Lawton turned
to one of the soldiers.
Sergeant" he said, "cut that rope"
The sergeant cut it-and the grum-
bling officers were now on the opposite
shore alone, and with no means of re-
turning for the night.
''The new cable will be run across to-
morrow morning, gentlemen" the gen.
eral called across the stream. Il wish
you a good night"
The officers were taught severe les
son on the dangers of grumbling in the

Long Names for Automobiles.

what is the longest word in the Ian.
guage?" is an inquiry that frequently
turns up in an editors mail. If some
other languages were in question, he
would dread to see it; the answer
would take too much space.
Thus, in Berlin, one Herr Then, who
has long been prominent in local trans
portation interests, has recently estab-
lished motor cab service. The pleas.
ing German name for his vehicles is
"automobileteXameterdroschken."
1t is said that, despite the preposter.
Gus title, the new cabs are remarkably
handsome and graceful. But if there is
anything in a name, the motor car
riages introduced into some parts OF
Belgium should instantly become sway
backed and top-heavy. The Flemish
word for automobile is ''snelpaarde-
looszoonderspoorwegpetroolrijuig."

weeks went dragging along, and he
seemed to get just odd jobs enough to
enable him to keep body and soul to-
gether. The bread and coffee diet,
even when supplemented by occasional
wienerwursts and periodical cans of
baked beans, is lowering, and when the
ong-sought-for jobs were secured JEFF
ferson felt that he was physically un-
able to do them justice. A strange
weariness beset him. That and the
homesickness.
Then came the temptation. Jefferson
had been well brought up, and was
naturally conscientious and honest.
Still it cannot be denied that nature
and conscience are often at variance.
1t was natural that the young man, be-
ing hungry, should satisfy his hunger,
the means being available, that, crav-
ing chicken above all other food, he
should select chicken. Conscience in
terposed obstacles, but these were
swept lightly aside by opportunity.
1t is hard thing for hungry coun-
try-bred young man, who knows the
possibilities of the situation, to encoun-
ter hen trespassing within his door
way. Jefferson, coming in faint with
hunger one afternoon, had this expert
ence. The hen was at the foot of the
stairs, where she had no earthly busi-
ness to be. A morbid curiosity was the
only thing that could account for her
being there at all. She seemed acnc;-
BILE of this, for she fled instantly, with
nerve-shattering series of squawks,
when Jefferson surprised her. The
young man thereupon proceeded up
stairs to his room.
He began to think it over, with the
result that he presently went down to
the elevator, where he had worked once
or twice, and asked the foreman
whether he might have a handful of
grain.
"It amt my wheat" said the fore
man, but as Jefferson was turning
away, with look of disappointment,
he added: $50 you are welcome to all
you can carry away for all of me-"
Jefferson filled one pocket and went
back to Sedgwick street. There, be-
fore the door of his lodging he scattered
a little wheat and trickled a trail of
grain over the doorstep and in the pas

HE MISSED THE MOTIVE.
The Speaker Thought 1t Was His Own
Genius That Held the
Child.

This is story which Representative Eddy,
of Minnesota, tells on himself Mr. Eddy
not only enjoys the situation when the laugh
is turned against him, but has sense of hui
NOR which leads him to start the laugh some
times himself:
'In making the campaign in my district
one year." said Mr.. Eddy, 81 took along as
an attraction a veteran of the war of 1872
and of the civil war who was famous hand
at beating the drum. He was a drummer
from away back and could arouse whole
township. Drum music is an incendiary
kind of thing, anyhow, and the old captains
drumming was particularly stirring.
"Well, one night, after the captains drum
had given the usual overture, | commenced
my speech to the popuace which had been
lured to the scene by his drum. / noticed
at the foot of the rostrum, the same being
big dry goods box, bright-eyed little
fellow about II years old, who sat through
the speech, following me with great atten-
ton. 1t pleased me very much. Any fool
can interest an audience Of adults, but it
takes genius to hold child.

hands with him asked him how he liked my

THE BLUEBlRD.

Or sordid struggle unaware,
Dead to our human round of care
And toilsome trend of earthly things,
A bluebird in the orchard sings.
How trim his sky-and-earth-c suit,
How clearly keyed his silver flute,
From which. with ecstasies of soul,
Rare crystal, CHEEKY love notes rolli
They make the meadow, hill and plain
To summers prologue wake again;
And fill the orchards budding trees
With old familiar melodies.
Revisitant from southern skies,
Out of thy chords dear memories rise
That bear us back, with each refrain,
To Youth and Youths first spring, again.

CHAPTER XVII.
MY LORD, THE COUNT.

Portion of a letter from the Countess di
Savelli to her cousin Vittoria Ordelaffi Of
Forli.
1t is, as you know, gentle cousin, six years
since my lord, having lost his sword arm
at the storming of Santa Croce, retired to
his castle OF Aquila in the Sabine mountains
and ceased to help further in stirring the
times. In truth he has yielded to my wish
IN this matter, and although, in the war
OF the Holy League, he was offered COM
mand, ID Savelli, at my entre&ty, refused
the honor.
The count, my lord, is WE'LL but his
wounds troubling him in the winter he
may no longer follow the wolf in our noun
taIns, yet still hunts the stag in the Cimin-
ian forests OF our kinsman, Amilcar Chigi,
to whom we have been reconciled and whom
we visit yearly.
Last winter we spent in France, at the
chateau OF Seigneur de Bavard, which lies
on the Garonne, and met there, amongst
others, Nine. de la Tremouille, who is now
WIDOW, the duke having died OF tertlan
ague at Milan. There also was very gay
and noble gentleman, Viscompte de Bricon-
net, who AYERS that my lord owes him

ing to the King the news of the surrender

count thinks above all men, visits us in the
autumn; and, gentle cousin, come you too,
for we are to have house full Ike chill

sage. From the passage he walked
quietly to his room, still dropping G
wheat as he went, and the last of his
pocketful he threw about the floor and
under the bed. Then he laid himself
down on the bed and waited.
He had to wait a heart-breaking
length of time, but at last he heard a
faint tap from below. This was fol-
lowed by a half dozen taps in quick
succession, and then it sounded as
though busy telegraph office had been
suddenly opened on the first floor, with
every operator doing his best to estab-
lish a record for quick sending. Lit
tie by little the tapping sound came
closer and closer, until at last the pa
tience of the watcher was rewarded by
the sight of plump, brown hen, who,
after a moments pause at the thresh-
old, with an inquiring head on one
side, entered and began to pick up the
scattered wheat. Then jefferson sud-
denly got up and shut the door.
1t was the feast of lifetime-the one
thing above all others that jefferson
viii remember while memory holds her
throne. 1t seemed to put new life into
the famished and discouraged young
man. He felt hopeful once more
sturdily defiant of fate. He went down
town with the head that should have
hung in shame and remorse held high
in the air-and he went into the Frank
lin street hardware house and demand.
