The MikadO as a Poet.

1t is said that the emperor of Japan
has long INDUCED in the habit of scrib-
bling verse, but the results have sell
dom been spread before the eyes of the
general public The war, however, has
inspired many illusions which have
got into the papers.
The royal versider makes no attempt
at producing war epic, but puts his
everyday thoughts into rhyme under
the peculiar limitations of Japanese
poetry-that is, just so many syllables
to poem. From specimens translated
into English by a Jap one learns that
in the mind of the mikadO not all of
the japanese patriots are at the front,
that horses and even oxen are war he
roes and that the head Of the state Is
longing for peace One poem reads:
Some may stand on the battlefield,
AND sonae-GOd wot-may stay at home,
But all the souls that love their land
Are oil the same wherever they be.
The old sires who stay at home and
care for the farms of the young men at
the 'front.' ''the soldiers steed that still
charges on and knows not fatigue or
fear" the oxen carrying 'food for my
men and fodder for their steeds,'' are
especially ennobled by a touch Of the
mikados pen. One poem shows a
sleepless anxiety over affairs at the
front, where is gone so many a war
rior for my sake" and another ex-
presses the ideal paternal solicitude for
the welfare Of the realm. This last
reads:
Whenever I open
The ancient books
The one thing I ponder is,
How goes it with the people rule?
In the vernacular the mikado's verses
may cut deep, but as seen by western
readers the lines are lacking in the
quality of go" They evidently in
terpret the heart of the ruler to his
subjects and furthermore furnish a
key to the remarkable veneration with
which the head of the realm is regard
ed by the masses of Japan.

HOLY WEEK AT ST. PETERS.
Alteration and Passion Services and tn
 Sublime Ritual of Holy Saturday.

SuDltmG ftktu1l 0H kxOts SutuEOASs
 The services at St. Peters Catholic Church incident to Holy Week will be- gin at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. High mass will be celebrated. At the Gloria" the bells will be rung for the last time until they announce on Holy Saturday the prelude to the Resurrec- ton.
 The silence of the bells typifies the profound sorrow of the church for the Redeemer's passion. death and burial
 After the high mass on Thursday morning a solemn procession will wend its slow way to the repository or tomb, magnificently prepared in the basement of the church, where the blessed sacra- ment will repose in state until Friday morning. The altars of the church will then be stripped of every orna- ment. This ceremony IS emblematic of the nakedness on the cross of the Sa- vior. whom the altar represents.
 The repository will be accessible to every one until o'clock Thursday night. A constant guard will be in at- tendance throughout the day.
 The ceremonial of Good Friday is the most pathetic exponent of the church's symbolism. Good Friday is the only day on which a mass proper cannot be said. The mass Is called the mass of the presanctified, because 1t is offered in a Host already sanctified or conse- crated, there being no actual consecra tion. The blessed sacrament Is brought back from the repository with out the exulting canticles of the previ- ous day. and laid upon the altar.
 The ritual of Good Friday also em- braces the touching passion service and the adoration of the cross in memory of the Divine Victim. to whom all ador- ation rightly understood Is solely due Devotions on this day begin at a. m.
 The evening services consisting of the Way of the Cross and Passion will begin at p. m.
 The ceremonies of Holy Saturday arc most impressive. More joyful than fhose heretofore witnessed. They bear testimony to the happiness of Christs approaching triumph over death, and being of the highest antiquity mark the successive stages of the church from apostolic times. The blessing of the new fire takes us back to the days of the apostles when 1t was customary to bless the fire required to light the torches for the services of the evening and the morning, and that of the pas chal candle to the early centuries of the Patriarchate of Alexandria. when the candle was a pillar of wax on which were noted the days of the movable feasts regulated by the Easter festival
 On Holy Saturday the services will be remains of the most inspiring cere' monies of the catacomos, of Constantl- nople, of Nice, of Jerusalem and of all the great Catholic centres. The can ticles chanted are the noblest in the liturgy of the church. The "exuitet jam angelica turba" of St. Augustine calls upon heaven and earth to ''re- ioice, to exult, and thrill with glad ness, and revel in the glorious light that burst upon them" At its termi- nation prophecies are chanted and the ltanies sung. The mass is full of the alleluias of praise and jubilation.
 The service begins at 7:S0 a. m.

The News of Selma
Advertiser Bureau,

If you are not a1 years old or over 55 years old, and a policeman-a Selma policeman-hands you summons 70 work on the streets if you haven't paid your street tax you had better go 10 court the day set on the summons and go through a process of trial. Only the Mayor who presides over the Po- lice Court has the right to declare you exempt. And you had better be pretty sure about the year, month and day you were born
 The question of the Jurisdiction of the City Tax Collector to exempt per sons too young or too old canle up this morning when John Trikulis was brought into Police Court to answer to the charge of refusing to work the streets. Trikulis swore that he was not 21 years old, and that he conveyed that information to Tax Collector Cal len who told him that he would nx things" for him.
 Tax Collector Callen testified that he took Trikulis's summons when the latter told him he wasn't 21 years old and filed 1t in his office. But Selma policemen are infallible Tn some cases. In such case as this they get 20 cents for each summons they put in a delinquents hands. So when Tax Collector Callen filed Trik- uliss summons in his office policeman got it and reserved it.
 Trikulis was brought into court this morning and when the policeman had gone through with his testimony Trik- uIis quietly told the court that he was not 21 and had been exempted by MT. Callen.
 Send for MT. Callen," ordered Mayor Atkins immediately. If he Is interfer- ing with the collection of street taxes after the matter is in the hands of the police, we want to know 1t now"
 So a policeman hied away for MT Callen and when the other city official was ushered into court he was sworn and examined by the Mayor.
 MT. Callen. did you exempt Mir Trtk- ulis from paying street tax after he had been summoned by the polfce: asked the Mayor
 MT. Trikulis told me he wasn't 21 years old and I took the summons, brought it to my office and told him I would see Policeman Smith and have the matter straightened." replied MT. Callen. T also told him to see Po- liceman Smith and tell him he was not of age"
 MT. Callen, do you think 1t is your right to exempt persons from street tax for any cause after it is in he hands of the police?" again asked the | Mayor.
 
 which if you say so l will turn over | to the police.'
 Then MT. Callen said that &ere were nearly a thousand men who had been summoned and were exempt on ac- count of age.
 You have no right to exempt per- sons from paying street tax after the police have sumInonsed them to work the streets rejoined the Mayor. Let them come into this court and I will | exempt them if they are under or above age of paying street tax. If the Tax l Collector interferes after the summons have been placed in the hands of the police 1t will cause confusion and wor- ry. This court will attend to that" Trikulis. who is a lunch tender in a | saloon. was told that he couldn't pur- sue his present employment if he was not 21 years old, and Mayor Atkins gave him a reasonable time" to make other arrangements.

EVANS LEAVES MAINE FOR THE
 KEARsARGE,
Reported That Some Disssatisfaction Exists Regarding Work of For. mex BattIeship--Prefty April
 wedding Solemuixed.

Pensacola, Fla, April 1s.-(SpeciaL) Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans today transferred his colors as commander n-chief of the assembled squadrons from the battleship Maine to the battle ship Kearsarge. but there was no great ceremony attending tho transfer. It was stated that the transfer Is only temporary, but a well-founded report in the fleet today had it that there has been some dissatisfaction found with the manner in which the Maine per forms when steamed up and in motion. The Maine proceeded to the target range this afternoon, and. with the Missouri, will continue to smash tar gets in the gulf for the next week.
 A few days since it was stated off, cially that there had been defect in the Maine that was not relished at all, this showing up especially when the ship was under full steam. The tunnels, 1t was explained. were not lofty enough to carry off the great volumes of smoke and as the ship would either cut through the water at full or half-speed the clouds of smoke would envelope the great sea fighter. The explanation that the smokestacks were too low seems to have been accepted with much truthfulness, since the transfer of the flag today seems to have been done for no other reason than that of getting rid of what might be termed nuisance that was aggravating.
 There was some discredit placed in the report when the rumors first started, but the claim seems now to have been accepted as fact.
