IN THE DUNELAND.

This is the duneland, ashen grey,
Deep-scored and SCARED by the rough
hand
OF desolating Time-a land
OF dead things, mournful in decay.
Grey sea. grey sky. shut in a storm
thrashed ringi
And they who endlessly go to and fro.
The winds-the bitter, roaring winds
that wing
The shafts OF winter from their bow.
Long since died summer, long since au-
tumn died;
Far hence Octobers fed, with all It's pur-
pie pride,
Its gloom its silence. and its pain;
And now on. on they press,
The hordes OF winter. wild and pit,less,
Bringing the darkness once again.
Yonder the village lies and weeps-
Its roofs, that from the storm decline.
Squalid and sad, In crouchins heaps
Like huddled kline;
The night droops down, the hor' .on uelts
and fades,
The thunder clouds give tongue. and
faint
In answer one far aell from out the
Walls softly. like little chili's corl-
plant.
And there. where in confusion lie
The tresses of the land,
With mourning measureless, go by
The long, dim lines of ghostly sand;
The shore is desolate, the birds are flown,
On the salt fats ship heels slowly, sink
ing down.
AS ebbs the sea. so flows the night,
The vacant. black, and infinite.

"Plumed Knight" was in his glory you

This was Walker Blaine, as fine an ex-
ample of the young and promising states
man as it has been my privilege to know
in long time in political life. Perhaps
the nearest approach to him in recent
years was the late Adelbert S. Hay, who,
as you see, occupied relatively the same

death Walker Blaine was the soul OF
courtesy and shared his fathers boundless
aspirations-or rather his desire to reach

Il deeply appreciate the welcome offered
me by the people of Kiel. Having always
thought the least OF what he says, who
has the most to say, I shall not attempt

nical oratory''-here he glanced in the di-
rection of the long-winded speaker-''but
simply assure you that your greeting

Prince Henry is of striking appearance.
Though not much above the medium
height, he carries himself with graceful
dignity that seems to increase his stature
by an inch or two. In contrast to the
pointed mustachios of his brother, En-
peror William. Prince Henry wears a
closely trimmed beard. and when not clad
in his uniform might be easily mistaken
for an American physician. His nose is
straight and his eyes are the rare steel
blue that never blink. His conversation
is much like the address he made at kiel
recounted above. What he has to say he
says briefly and pointedly. CircumlOcu
tion is not recognized by Prince Henry
and he has never been known to make
conversation" He prefers, too. men like
himself-short of speech. The American
speakers upon whom the duty devolves of
presenting formal addresses to the distin-
guished visitor will do well to bear his
preference for brevity well in mind.
1t Is said that there have been times
when the feeling between Prince Henry
and his older brother, the Emperor, could
hardly be described as fraternal. AS all
the world knows, there is strain OF the
theatrical in his Imperial Majestys make

Prince has failed on certain occasions to
be duly impressed by the extraordinary
greatness OF the ruler of Germany. In

A German astrologer, In casting his

army through the German Empire; wheth-
er in revolt against his own Government
or In its defence the astrologer failed to
state. Aside from the guesses OF sooth-
sayers one would unhesitatingly select
Sigismond from among a thousand as
child of destiny. In a boy of his years
the self-poise of sigismond is remarkable.
He never exhibits under any circuIn-

marks a child. He spends the play hours
in the nursery marching and counter
marching an army of tin soldiers or drill

arms. Apparently unable to learn his
