SPRING SONG

Spring came dancing down the glades,
Her arms with violets laden:
And Spring met Love, and Love was sad
Love vowed he'd never more be glad.
Spring sighed-the tender maiden.
Spring scattered yiolets through the giades
And hid them in the blowing grass;
And Love bent down and plucked a flower
And hasted to his Lady's bower
Spring sang-the happy maiden.
Spring whispered to the waiting birds
To triii a roundelay;
Along came Love. and Love was glad,
He vowed he never could be sad
Spring laughed-the witching maid.

And odors fresh and clean
And that was odd. because, you see,
Their fuel was gasoline.

And that was odd, because, you know,

Until they spied a gentleman

The busy Auto said
And this remark was odd. because

@HE true cavalryman and the raw
recruit who has just been thrown
over the head of his horse are
agreed on one point in the theory of
mounted warfare. They would be will
ing to swear roundly and strike hands
upon it that the horse is more than a
beast of burden, that it is, in fact, a
weapon of warfare. The day of the
mailed knight has long passed, and the
value of the cavalryman. his successor,
has somewhat decreased in recent years
because of the changed conditions of
warfare. In the theory of warfare the
horse OF the caValryman was more than
beast of burden. 1t was a weapon.
The cavalryman was expected to use
his horse where the infantryman used
his gun Armed with sabers or spears,
a body OF horse in the old days would
charge down upon the men on foot and
frequently carry the day. That was
when a gun once discharged could not
be loaded again within period of sew
eral minutes. The cavalryman in these
days of magazine rifles is too good a
target. Against organized infantry he
has little chance. Even more than in
the days of THE Light Brigade" would
a charge upon the enemy's line be a
ride
Into the jaws of death.
Into the mouth of hell
In accounts of the Japanese Russian
war one does not read of the famed
Cossack charges that are a part of the
military history of Russia, for they
have not been made. Japan practically
has no cavalry at ALL Itsis only when
troops have been scattered and are to
be pursued; when baggage train has
been left with an insufficient guard:
when body of the enemy's cavalry is
to be met or when scout duty is called
for that the mounted soldier has an
opportunity to accomplish anything in
these days.
The sign of the disappearance of
the old theory of cavalry is its use of
the carbine. In the warfare with the
willy redskin, which has been the chief
occupation of United States cavalry,
outside of its part in the civil war,
there We're no compact bodies of men
TO be carved with the saber in bloody
hand to hand conflict. It was a car.
bine that was needed to. pick them off

he has recommended he viii hold his

The critics of Mr. La Toilette declare
that he is undecided what to do because
he is not certain whether he could make
a stronger canvass for the presidential
nomination as governor of Wisconsin
or as senator from that state. That
he has the presidential bee buzzing in
his bonnet everybody seems to admit,
and in the speoulatioRs for 1908 he plays
a prominent part as a western radical
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton. The closest friends of La Toilette

ambitions. and no one has undertaken
yet to say whether he will wear the sem
atorial toga or continue to be the leader
of raGicalism in the northwest as gov
ernor of Wisconsin.

Making Over a Waist.

A pretty way to freshen up worn white
china or india silk waists is to put in a
guimpe and full half sleeves of colored
lace, says Harpers Bazaar This lace,
by the way, can be easily colored at
home with any one of the prepared dyes.
One girl recently made an old china silk
waist by these means. She took some
quite dilapidated renaissance lace which
had been on another gown. Out of that
she got enough for guimpe and full
half sleeves with the undersleeve Ell.
feet. Then she dyed the medallions In
the lace a delicate blue. A big bow of tb q
same shade of blue in velvet decorated
the left side and completed an original
and much admired waist.

the Identification of the national cap
some three or four years ago by COM
mission appointed under resolution
of the senate secured by the late Sena-
tor Mcmillan, of Michigan. 1t included
in the future development of Washing
ton practically the improvements which
are now being made adjoining the cap
itol. But it went further in developing
grand esplanade, or mall, to occupy
the government reservation stretching
from the capitol westward past the
Washington monument to the Potomac
river, where splendid memorial
bridge was to span that stream and con-
meet with the national cemetery at Ar
lington, the ancestral home of the Vir-
ginia Lees.
This wide park, or succession Of parks,
was to be bordered by public buildings
to be erected in the future, and. its de-
velopment contemplated the clearing
out of considerable portion of the city
now built up. 1t was an expensive
scheme, and its full completion would
mean the expenditure of probably $780,
100000. The advocates of this park sys-
tenn urged that it need not be carried
into execution for half century to
come, but that the general idea should
be adopted and future improvements be
made in conformity to it. President
Roosevelt has taken up the scheme and
is firm believer in it. He has already
directed that two new buildings, one for
the department of agriculture and the
other for the District of Columbia, which
are soon to be under construction shall
be located to accord with this park sys-
TEN. and their exterior design to har-
monte with the style of architecture

Mr.. F. H. Lancaster, writing in
Modern Women" declares, or makes
his characters declare, that girls and
women are lacking in honor, and cites
various modern novels to show that
the heroine of each, who is held up
to our admiration, is pictured as quite
mendacious, and IL accepted as true to
life by all readers.
We must concede that Nancy
Stair" lovable, bewitching as she is,
seemed to need some instruction In
the arts of truth and probity. But
it is undoubtedly fact that as yet
comparatively little care has been
taken to train girls and women in the
niceties of business dealings and the
stringencies of social bookkeeping.
1t is admitted that the moral delin-
quencies of the students in mems col
leges far outnumber in quality and
quantity those of women collegians.
Still, in the one matter of truth-tell-
ing, we are told that woman was. is,
and ever shall be. inferior to her
brother-man. We appeal to every girl
and woman who reads this sentence
to make and gather all the evidence
possible on this subject. Is our cor
respondent right? Do girls break
their marriage-engagements oftener
than men? If so, do they most fire.
quently do this from lack of moral
principle regarding the truth? And
are girls and women really less hon
orable than boys and men?
