THE SWALLOWS.

h ancient days when, under cloudless skies,
Springs earliest swallows touched the italian
shore
Sad hearted mothers gassd with yearning eyes
And cried. "ow darlings come to US once
more.S
A pretty fancy which our wiser age
Has long outgrown, and yet, for England stands
Watching the strife In which her sons engage
At her behest In those far southern lands
thousand sons she mourns, untimely slain,
Like early flowers that fall beneath the scythe.
Swallows who seek your English home again,
Over their graves your song was loud and blithe
A few short weeks ago. Perhaps CLEAN
Lit heavy eyes that saw you swoop and dart,
While memories Of some willow shaded stream
Or windy down arose within the heart.
Wherefore to US, this spring, your song shall be
Fraught with deeper meaning than Of yore,
As II, across the leagues Of sundering sea,
Some whispered message from our dead ye bore.
B. Paul Neuman in Spectator.

This is the detail story OF the morning
in Washington President Mckinley ap-
pointed Jenkins:
As the Oklahoma delegation fled in
Secretary Hitchcock entered from an
other door. After few moments CONVEX
sation with the president on departmental
business, Secretary Hitchcock started 70
leave. The president requested him,
however, to remain, stating that the
Oklahoma delegation had called on a
matter which came under his department
Secretary Hitchcock said he had met
most Of the delegation, and presumed
they had called to discuss the governor
ship.
President Mckinley then opened the
conversation with the announcement:
Wen, gentlemen, understand you de-
sire change IN the governor Of your
territory
To this every member of the delegation
nodded his assent.
Have you agreed on any man who is
entirely satisfactory to you an?" the
president inquired.
There are three candidates for the
office now in the city" said Delegate
Flynn, tine appointment OF any one of
whom would be satisfactory TO the Re
publican organization or the territory
and would receive the hearty support Of
every Republican In the territory. I be-
ieve they are William II. jenkins. Jo-
seph F. McNeal and Felix Winkier."
Ex-Governor Seay then Informed the
president that he was one Of those who
indorsed and urged the appointment OF
Governor Barnes four years ago. Il feel
that it is a duty which I owe myself TO
tell you, personally, now after four years
experience, that ( believe I was rnista-
ken in recommending him for appoint
ment, and that the administration would
make a serious mistake should Il reap
point him. We need harmony in the Re
publican party in the territory. which is
an impossible accomplishment with Mr.
Barnes as governor"
Secretary Hitchcock desires the ap-
pointment OF Ar. Jenkins" said the
president. 'sWill his appointment be sat
isfactory to you. gentlemen. and VIII
you endeavor to make his administration
successful II appointedT'
I'VE Will, said each member OF the
delegation in unison
He VIII be your next governor. then,
gentlemen" said the president.
