But there did not seem to he any
graves undecorated until they reached
more distant part of the cemetery.
There two sunken graves, with
weathcr-worn wood markers at the
head, were fowerless.
How lonely they look!" said Tom.
"Ys," said Mrs. Graham, 81 think
that you must empty this basket on
them"
'Iet Tom and me do It," said Bcrta.
So she and her brother jumped out OF
the carriage and went over To the two
graves. There were enough roses to
completely cover them both.
Now they don't look so lonely"
said Berta, with n backward glance, as
she drove away.
And so ii was that when lat @ in the
afternoon Mrs. Pell came 1 o IL e lonely

she found the two mounds a mass OF
exquisite roses And the1 looked like
the roses she had had ia her little
country home in those long past days
the white roses that Teddy had so

Then she said: white roses is nice.

PSALM OF THE OLD SOLDIER.

The blue IL fading into gray
Just az when sunset comes
with bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbing drums:
The shadows reach across the sky
And hush the cares OF day:
The bugle call and drum beat de
The blue fades into gray.
The gray Is blending into blue
sunrise glad and fair
When I'm the richness OF the dew.
The roses riot there,
The bitterness of yesterday
Is lost TO me and you:
The blue is fading into gray
The gray blends into blue.
They're sleeping now the long long Sleep
The boys who wore the blue:
Above tie gray the grasses creep
And both were good and true:
And IN the twilight OF our life
The ending OF the way
There comes forgetfulness of strife
The blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the ny giows
And humble daisies nod:
The ruby glory OF the rose
Sheds lust@r on the sod:
The tears-ttc tears--they are the dew
That greets the coming day.
The gray IL blending into blue
The blue fades into gray

AT AN END

Geneva, Feb. THE sudden end Of
the royal romance of Princess Saxony
is said to be due to the refusal Of the
Saxon court, influenced by Emperor
Francis Joseph, to consent to the d.
vorce. 1t is reported the princess
sought her fathers pardon in order to
get permission to see her children
but was refused everything unless she
left Giron.
Her lawyer visited Dresden, but
failed to get any concession beyond
the offer of a small yearly allowance
and promise, if the princess gave up
Giron and returned home, that no Ie-
gal proceedings would be taken
against her. The princess, realizing
her position, became il and apparent
ly was willing to agree to any terms.
On the return of her lawyer from
Dresden yesterday, a prolonged inter
view took place in which the princess,
in tears, cried: Il must see my dar-
ling children"
The parting with Giron is said to.
have been very affecting.

TELEGRAMS In BRIEF.
NEZUELA

A cash payment by Venezuela Of
s27 800 to each blockading power was
offered by Minister Bowen, with a
preference for three months.
Mr.. Bowen stands firm in his re-
fusal to grant preference in payment
to the hostile powers.
The Venezuelan army, led by Gen.
Alcantara, a West Pointer, utterly
routed the rebels near Caracas, cap
turing 80 officers, 200 men and mucn
ammunition and supplies.
Venezuelan situation is complicated
further by London dispatch that the
British, German, and Italian govern
ments do not ask preference, but a
separate adjustment of claims. The
blockaders demanded that Venezuelan
troops quit La Guayra.
POLITICAL.
The Boston chamber of commerce
and business organizations will form a
general committee to secure honest
and efficient city government"
Democratic members of the Della
ware legislature voted for w. M
Ross and Peter J. Ford for United
States senators, but there was no cleo
ton.
J. Edward Addicks withdrew as a
candidate for the Delaware United
States senatorship. The deadlock was
thus broken which has prevented a
senatorial election for three years.
Governor HUM and Secretary of State
Layton are the probable candidates.
A compromise on the statehood bill
was reached, but democratic senti-
ment at Quay may cause defeat. Four
territories would be admitted as two
states, to prevent the election of eight
democratic senators and only four or
five republican representatives.
