RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.

With a final catastrophe at Moscow
Saturday, when several hundred people
were killed by the collapse of a factory
that was under bonn bardment, the Rus
sian revolution has ended in failure
From all parts of the Empire Saturday
came the news that the general strike
was rapidly going TO pieces and that
night the Workmen's Council issued an
announcement that the strike will be
called of on today, but that the organ
ization of an armed uprising will be inn
mediately undertaken.
At the time this was issued the Mos
COW revolt was 10 its last throes, the
troops in that city having made
a general roundup of the rebels, killing
them without respect to age or sex.
The government is exultant over the
signal failure of the armed rebellion. In
semi-official communication issued
Saturday night it declares the move
ment has been broken and within few
weeks it will be definitely crushed. 1t
attributes the defeat of the "reds" not
only to the force it employed but to
lack of public sympathy.
The report that Count Witte is booked
for retirement in a few days is again
being pefsistenlly circulated. Officers of
guard regiment at st. Petersburg it is
reported refuse 10 guard tho Premier,
whose life 10 in constan! danger.
The entire district in Moscow in
which the seven days fighting took
place is now occupied by troops. The
number OF casualties is not near so great
as first reported.

A Little Girl I Knew.

There was once little girl l knew,
With dark hair braided down her back
She lived next door, as some girls do.
And l couldn't help seeing she had 4
knack
For washing the steps and tending the
flowers
(For the house was a little away from
ours.)
l couldn't help hearing the pleasant sound
That dishes make when they touch tn,
pan,
1 wasn't the kind to hang around.
But l saw and heard as fellow can.
(And she was girl about as spry
AS trout that leaps to snap the fy.)
And when the windows were opened wide
She made the beds and swept the floor,
busted the things on every side,
And then through the open kitchen door
l saw her stir the pudding and cake,
And make the coffee and broil the steak.
You know l surely could hear and see
(TheIr house of course not far away,
And l wasn't as dumb as some might be,
But managed once some words to say.
And SO, concluding fresh combine,
She moved from their house into mine.

VERSE OF THE DAY.
Vain Dreams,

Now spring has brought the violet.
Farewell We winds that blow
From out the north: last night saw
The crescent moon hang low
Above the trees, and dreamed dream
A dream of long ago.
I dreamed a dream of long ago,
OF live oaks spreading wide.
OF pOplars tall, ensilhouette;
OF mOonpath on the tide
A dream of you with golden hair,
And blue eyes by my side.
Aye. spite of old resolves, I dreamed
OF winding ways and you,
dream of kisses on the mouth
And hollyhocks and dew;
/ dreamed the old, old dream again.
The dream that won't come true.
I wonder II the dead dream dreams
For I to you am dead,
AS dead as il all stark and cold
With stone above my head
l lay in cerements all white
Within my narrow bed
And, yet, l dream these bootless dreams
When springs first violet
Smiles blue, and when the crescent moor
Is near the dark trees set;
These dreams of you'll wonder IL
The truly dead forget?
