Spring, you say, is for the far
Footing where the hill paths are:
For the raptured listening
To the nesting, tawny- wing;
For the sentient ecstacy
Permeating sod and tree
Marry, lad, it may be so!
If not, then for what? you cry;
Cpringtime is for Love, trow;
Just for Love, say l.
Summer, you say, is for dreams
Where the lakes blue ripple CLEANS
Is for reveling at will
In the scents the roses spill;
Is for sloughing care and stress;
Is for honeyed idleness!
Faith, my lad, it may be sol
If not, then for what? you cry;
Summer is for Love! / trow!
Just for Lovel say 1.
Autumn, you say, is for all
Nature holding carnival;
Fruit grown mellow to the core
On the upland, by the shore;
Brimming bin and bursting sheaf,
And rich livery for the leaf!
Sooth, my lad, ii may be sol
If not. then for what? you cry;
Autumn is for Love. l trowl
Just for Love! say /.
Winter say you. is for books
Read in long warmed ingle- hooks;
For the wonders of the air
Where the great auroras flare.
For the merry rites that rule
Till the waning tide of Yule
Marry. lad. il may be sol
II not. then for what? you cry;
Winter is for Love, I trowl
Just for Love, say l.

New Version of the TabascO Sauce
story.

A new version of the story of the
man who mistook tabasco sauce for
tomato sauce was enacted in a Mil
waukee street restaurant the other day.
The patron, says the Milwaukee Sem
tinel, had just settled himself in his
chair and tucked his napkin under his
chin with an air that would have be-
come DIR. Tanner on the thirty-ninth
day of a fast. He stroked his whis-
kers meditatively while perusing the
bill of fare. Evidently the hungry man
was a stranger to the city, for he got
nervous and more and more i'll at ease
as he tried to order from the elaborate
assortment of foods on the menu. Peo-
pie began looking at him in amuse-
ment. His face flushed and he faltered
in desperation:
Bring me some apple pie, first; pea
soup, green peas, roast beef, coffee,
pate de foy grass, lobster salad and
ah--ice cream.
The waiter girl looked at him dis
painfully. He felt something was
wrong, so he ordered some olives. Then
the maid curtly queried:
'Tabbel dote, or la carty?"
"a little of both, please" he replied
desperately.
The girl sat down his order and stuck
UP. her nose, and he prepared to enjoy
the Gargantuan feast she put before
him. Now, in this particular restaurant
there are powdered sugar cellars-near-
ly every one has used the fiat bottle
to sweeten berries and sour apple pies.
The hungry stranger looked about the
table for salt and he took up the sugar
receptacle; it's contents he sprinkled
over his meat and vegetables.
His actions after that proved him to
be hero in fustian. He made a wry
face on tasting the meat and saw his
mistake. From the corner of his eye
he saw a score of persons about, watch
ing him covertly. So he ate everything
he had ordered, and looked as if he
relished the sugar coated dinner.

There seems to be a good deal to be
learned yet with respect to the hand
ling of warships in maneuvers. In
practice the German fleet the other
day lost the cruiser Wacht. which had
collided with the battleship Sachsen.
This recalls the fact that the British
torpedo boat destroyer Viper recently
went on the rocks during maneuvers
and was lost. And ii will be remem.
bered that few years ago, during the
evolutions of the British Mediterra.
mean fleet the flagship Victoria was
aceidently rammed and sunk by the
battleship Camperdown. in which ca,
tastrophe Admiral Tryon and several
hundred men lost their lives. There
can be no doubt that naval maneuvers
are highly beneficial. at the same time
experience has shown that they are
dangerous.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland (O) Plain Dealer
(Dem.) says: "Vice President Roose-
welt is a candidate, of course, but the
knowing ones do not regard his chances
seriously. When he reluctantly ac-
cepted the vice presidency, thrust upon
him by Boss Plat. it was understood
that he had been placed on the politi-
cal shelf 1t has not been the Gus
tom for Vice Presidents to step into
the presidential position unless to fill
a vacancy caused by death. The siren
uous Roosevelt may be the exception,
but the probabilities are against it,"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem) says:
This whole Danish islet business looks
like a job. 1t looks suspiciously like
a scheme, worked by some adroit op-
orator to get money out Of the public
treasury for his own enrichment The
way the thing has been presented as
matter of duty, strategy and so on
and the way 1t has been kept before
the American public is extremely sus-
picious."
The Norfolk Cva.) Landmark (Dem)
says president Mckinley has Of
fered his friendly offices to Colombia
and Velezuela for the arbitration of
their dispute, whatever it may be. We
don't know why, but for some reason
the friendly offices of Mr.. Mckinley
are regarded with less enthusiasm
than they were before the war with
Spain"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: 1.-THE cry for cheap money has
been answered by a heavy increase in
the volume of sound money. There is
no complaint in any part of the coun-
try because every dollar in circulation
has been kept at par with gold and
apparently there is no longer fear
that there will not be gold enough to
meet demand.~

Senator Bailey of Texas says Theo-
dore Roosevelt can never be elected
President of the United States, and
finds his reason in the fact that the
people like conservatism rather than
strife and radicalism. And this is the
illustration he gives: 1.-THE people pre-
ferred a man like Cleveland rather
than Blaine, and they turn from a man
like Bryan to Mckinley because
they demand conservatism in an exec
utive." In saying a good word for
Cleveland and rather disparaging Bry-
an, has not Joe Bailey lifted himself
by his boot straps outside the Demo-
cratic breastworks?

Notwithstanding the elimination of
some of the war taxes, the revenues
are still piling up. The surplus in the
treasury now amounts to something
like $3.50 100000 Under the circum-
stances the thing to be done, of course,
is to cut off more of the war taxes.
The revenues are not needed.

Prince Chun. the Chinese envoy to
Germany, having apologized and been
presented to the Empress, is no longer
an official guest. He may, therefore,
be shown any lack of official courtesy
desirable to the German government
without raising an international ques-
tion. 1t is not likely that the Emperor
and his suite will go any out of the
way TO make Chun feel "at home. :"
However, the Chinese prince will prob
ably forget all about any lack OF at
tention before he reaches Pekin again.

The United States of Colombia have
of war with Venezuela. A New York
dispatch says that Colombias paper
money is worth only about three cents
on the dollar. and there is no cash in
her treasury. She has, therefore,
about the same sense of responsibility
as the man who attempts to buck Wall
street with a capital of thirty cents.

The Augusta Herald regrets to say
that on account of the failure of the
gas company to furnish the necessary
amount of gas it was impossible to
furnish the news in more complete
form" than was given on a certain day.
This, we submit, is an honest and
commendable confession, and ought TO
excuse our contemporary for any
shortage of news or gas in its columns
on the date in question. Many news
paper would have gone right ahead and
endeavored to fill UP with an inferior
quality of gas. trusting to luck to pull
it through. But not so the Augusta
Herald. 1t has been accustomed to fur
nishing it's readers with the best quail
ity of gas available, hence it scorned
to pad its columns with any lower
grade when the regular supply ran out.
