Mrs General Lawton, whose eX-

her to speak, says the hospital and
medical branch OF the military service
in the Philippines: "All that can be
done or devised to minister to the

human agency cannot reduce the long

THE CITY OF THE LIVING.

In long vanished age, whose varied
story
No record has today
So long ago expired its grief and
glory
There fourished, far away.
In broad realm, whose beauty passed
all measure,
A city fair and wide,
Wherein the jewellers lived in peace
and pleasure,
And never any died.
Disease and pain and death, those
stern maurauders,
Which mar our world fair face,
Never encroached upon the pleasant
borders
OF that bright dwelling place.
No fear of parting and no dread Of dy-
ing
Could ever enter there;
No mourning for the lost, no angulshed
crying
Made any face less fair
Without the citys walls death reigned
as ever,
And graves rose side by side;
Within, the jewellers laughed at his
endeavor.
And never any died.
Oh happiest of earths favored places
Oh, bliss to dwell therein,
To live in the sweet light of loving
faces,
And fear no graves between,
To feel no death-damp, growing cold
and colder,
Disputing life's warm truth,
To live on, never loneller or older,
Radiant in deathless youth,
And hurrying from the worlds remot-
est quarters
A tide of pilgrims flowed
Across broad plains and over mighty
waters.
To find that blest abode.
Where never death should come be-
tween and sever
Them from their loved apart;
Still holding heart to heart
And so they lived, in happiness and
pleasure,
And grew in power and pride,
4 l., -.
OF treasure
And never any died.
And many years rolled on, and saw
them striving
With undated BREATH
And other years still found and left
them living,
And gave no hope of death
Yet listen, hapless souls whom angels
pity,
Craving a boon like this
Mark how the dwellers in this Won
drous city
Grew weary of their bliss.
One and another, who had been con-
cealing
The pain of life's long thrall,
Forsook their pleasant places and
came stealing
Outside the city wall
Craving with wish that brooked no
more denying,
SO long had it been crossed,
The blessed possibility of dying
The treasure they had lost.
Daily the current of rest-seeklng NOR
tails
Swelled to a broader tide,
Till none were left within the city s
portals,
| And graves grew green outside.
Would 1t be worth the having or the
giving,
The boon of endless breath?
OH for the WEAKNESS that comes OF
living
There is no cure but death,
Ours were indeed a fate deserving pity,
Were that sweet rest denied;
And few, methinks, would care to find
the city
Where never any died.

When the Beers commenced shelling,

= MILLIONAIRE ROBBED,
Second Story Men Make Big Haul
In Chicago.

In Chicago.
Chicago, April 1.-THE residence Of
o. w. Potter the multimilionaire ex-
president of the Illinois Steel company,
was robbed by porch climbers. Jewelry
and other valuables were taken. This
was the third big burglary within a week
on the fashionable Lake Shore drive.
Some estimates place the amount the
porch climbers secured as high as $40,-
900. The plunder, the most valuable
secured by thieves in Chicago in years,
consisted of diamonds, jewelry and sill
verware. The home of Mr.. Potter is q
great mansion at the corner of Burton
place and Lake Shore drive. 1t is suppos-
ed the thieves climbed up the marble
pillars of the porch on the Burton place
side and forced open the balcony win
dows.
The family were at dinner when the
robbery was committed. They had no
intimation of the theft until Miss Potter
went up stairs soon after dinner. She at
once missed jeweled brooch, and a hur
ried investigation soon showed that rob
bers had been at work. Miss Potter at
once notified her father, and in 10 min
utes it was seen that the second floor
of the house had been ransacked.
The family decided not to make known
their loss for awhile at least or to notify
the police, having the hope that the
thieves might make proposition 10 re-
turn the jewels for a ransom.
Some of the jewels are OF such design
and appearance that for the thieves to
attempt to dispose of them in the Or
binary way would only invite capture.
A diamond necklace belonging to Mrs.
Potter is the most valuable single article
that was taken.
