The Trailing Arbutus.

Oh. the days the arbutus days.
They come from heaven high:
They wrap the world in brooding haze,
They marry earth and sky.
What lures me onward DER the hills,
Or down the beaten trail?
Vague murmurng all the valley fills,
And yonder shouts the quail.
Like mother bird upon her nest
The day broods Ger the earth;
Fresh hope and life fill every breast;
/ share the springs new birth.
Awake. arise! and April wise
Seeks out forest side,
Where under wreaths of withered leaves
The shy sweet flowers hide.
hear the hum OF red-ruff's drum,
And bark, the thrasher sings;
On elm tree high against the sky,
List to his mimickings.
Upon my soul. he calls the roll
OF all the birds O. the year:
..yeeryi'' sChewink!' .'Oriole!' "Bobolnkn'
.'IIasteH' make hastel' Spring is here!'
Now pause and mark the meadow lark
Send forth his call to spring:
.sWhv don't you hear? It is spring o. the year!'
A piercing note from golden throat
Like dart from sounding string.
All! the goden-shaft, t was he that laughed
And lifted up his bill:
"Wick. wick!" ''wick, wiekv' ''Wake up be
quick!'
The ant is on her hill.
The bloodroot's face. with sanity grace,
Stars all the unkempt way;
Upon the rocks. in dancing tocks,
Corydalis is gay.
The hemlock trees hum in the breeze.
The swallows the wing;
In forest aisles are genial smiles
That greet thy blossoming.

Again the sun is all,
Again the robi--s ~Sning call
Or early morning lay;

With liquid pace. less heard than seen,
The water glides along;
The woods are ali mist Of green,
The air sea OF song.
Big clouds. in dazzling whitmess clad.

And all young things on earth are glad,
And all old tales are true.

The Harvest.

Oh, saw her at the time of the sowing Of the
grain
The April sun had broken through a flmy mist
Of rain,
and a little wind and sweet
Swayed the grasses at her feet
As | turned to look and turned TO smile and
turned TO look again;
And | said How good thing
Is the promise of the Spring."
At the time of the sowing OF the grain.
Oh. kissed her at the time Of the growing of
the grain
Her laugh was like the melody that threads the
larks refrain;
Bud and blossom everywhere
Sent their perfume through the air
And the branches bent above her where the rip
ening fruit lain;
And | said 10 love hath grown
Like the seed thy hand hath sownH'
At the time of the growing OF the grain
Oh, won her at the time of the moving of the
grain
We guided Ger the empty fields the heavy-laden
vain.
And nv life was like to sing
With the joy Of harvesting
Oh. loves sowing, nor his growing, nor his now
ing was in vain!
And | said. "Give thanks. my heart,
For the store that is thy partI'
At the time of the moving OF the grain.

The Play.

The play is on. They sit;
She sees the stage
And watches every action there portrayed.
He sees but her. and seeing her sees all
Her face a page
Whereon the play is scriven, bit by bit;
He reads. and when she smiles, unconscious maid,
His lips into the mold OF hers do fall.
Love loses; on her cheek
There shines a pearl.
Love triumphs; in her eyes there sits song.
Dreams he: II Imitation claim tear,
Then, tendrest girl,
What what would Passion elaim?-nay, fool and
weak.
You want not tears and pity, but you long
To make the love-light in those eyes appear!
Below them pipe Of wood
And rosined string
All vibrate softly, whispering of Hope;
Then as his heart beats higher with the thought
OF reigning king,
Burst into strains Of triumph Leap blood
The curtains down. Lights upl-the play is Ger.
She signs: he signs; and Romance is no more.

Is there such thing biblical history
of Pack OF CardsF H. j. d.
A similar question was recently answer
ed in the New York Sun" as follows:
According to the story. which appeared
at least as early as I773, Richard Lane,
a private in the Forty-second Foot, the
Black Watch, of the British Army, was
brought before the Mayor CLord Provost)
of Glasgow. charged with playing cards
during divine service. He said that he had
no Bible or prayer book, and was using
his pack of cards instead of the more
regular book. He was directed to explain
what he meant, and answered: When I
see the ace, it reminds me of the One
God; the deuce recalls the Father and
the Son; the tray, the three persons of
the Trinity. The four spot reminds me Of
the four Evangelists; the five. of the five
wise virgins; the six. of the days of crea-
ton, and the seven. of the seventh day,
the Sabbath; the eight recalls the right
eous persons in the Ark: the nine the un-
grateful lepcrs; the ten. the Command
meRts. The king suggests the King of
Heaven; the queen. the Queen of Sheba
who sought wisdom from Solomon. The
knave-' here he hesitated, but ON be-
ing urged went on; The knave stands for
the constable who arrested me- Tho
mayor interrupted to remark that tho
constable seemed to have been a fool,
even though not a knave. The soldier
continued: There are 365 pips In the pack,
which recall the days of the year; fifty
two cards. one for each week; twelve face
cards. one for each month. and the thir-
teen tricks represent the number of
weeks in a quarter. Thus the pack of
cards serve as Bible, 4 prayer book, and
an almanac.

further advices from General MacAr-

nothing about the disposition of Aguin-
aldo further than that he would be
treated the same as high officers of the

Americans in the prosecution of the

Army officers who have been in the

in the news and some of them discussed
the military and judicial features of the

Sultan of Sulu Pays Respects to the
Philippine Commission.
JoLo, Island of Sulu, March 28 The
commission was heartily received at the
headquarters of the sultan and the resi-
dences of many Of the people were dec
grated with flags, the stars and stripes
floating throughout the town, while
thousands of fire crackers were exploded
in all directions. 1t was a beautiful
summer morning and when the sultan
had not put in an appearance upon the
arrival of the last launch a cutter was
sent with the secretary of the commits
sion to invite the sultan TO visit the ship.
They brought back his majesty clothed
in gold and purple, and decorated with
jewels. He presented a comic opera ap-
pearance as he came on board, accom-
panied by his ministers and q score of
relatives in motley court array. They
were greeted by a salute Of II guns.
Consul Taft explained to his majesty
that there was no disposition on the
part of the members of the commission
to interfere with the administration of
the sultan s affairs or the habits, Gus
toms and the religion of the people. He
said that the only motive governing the
commission was the prospective pros
perity and happiness of the people of
the Sulu islands and that the people of
the United States expected the treaty to
be strictly observed. The sultan then
thanked Commissioner Taft and spoke
proudly of the cable and other improve
ments introduced by the Americans,
adding that his best friends were the
military officials and that he expected
to abide by the decicion of the commits
sioners and to follow their advice.

claim immunity under the ordinary con-
