LYDIA OF THE WOODLAND.
o CLEAN and glow Of Mays-that blow
The bluet by the ways;
The Indian-pink whose f1ow'r you'd
think
Was blood for some wild bee to drink
In your bright way how-can you
say?-
Is it she's like our Mays?
From shade to sun her fancies run,
In CLEAN and gloom of moods that
bloom;
And in her seems the light that
dreams
In thoughts of other days.
Meseems some song, for which men
long,
Long lost from her takes wing
When she doth speak: a bird, whose
beak-
Through magic arts in my heart,
Trills sweet, sweet, sweet in every
beat,
And all its blood makes sing:
And when gaze into her face
seem to look in some wild brook
That laughs through buds and
leafing woods,
Rejecting all the spring.
She spoke but now-and lol I vow,
From haunts Of hart and hind
] seemed to hear Romano draw near,
White hand in hand with Song, and
stand
In some green aisle of wood, and
smile,
Beguilding heart and mind
She laughs-and lol seem to go

songs rain
Around, above; and Joy and Love
Come dancing down the wind.

THE GREAT CARLSON HERDS
Twice a Year They Troop Across
Newfoundland by Thousands

The great caribou herds of New.
foundland migrate semi-annually. and
no one but an actual witness of these
migrations can form any adequate
conception of the marvellous number
OF deer which the island contains.
1t is estimated that the number
which crossed the Exploit Riven at
one point during ten days in the
autumn of last year exceeded four
thousand. This crossing ground is
only one of scores of similar trails.
Somewhere about thes middle of
September the migratory tide sets
forming the vanguard of the long
procession. The lazy stays hang on
the rear until some more severe than
ordinary gives an unmistakable earn
est of the approach of winter.
Then all alike hurry toward the
sheltered districts in the south. TAX.
ing a straight course. over boulder
strewn mountain heights through
tangled and obdurate masses of
timber across mountain torrents and

Among minor noyelists, the follow

quoted: The count walked up and

Some very odd blunders have also
been made by newspapers, as the fol-
lowing clipping will show: One pa
per, at certain time, commented
thus on the death of famous Irish
judge "a great Irishman has passed
away. God grant that many of the
great men who really love their coun-
try may follow him." Another paper

cts Again, an editor referred to the
czar's rescript on peace as "a dove
bearing the olive branch Of noooo
which burst like thunderbolt on the
world" 'The princely eagle has got

is surpassed by the editor who gravely

Hitherto Untold Story Shows That
He Speaks by the Book.

II
He Speaks by the Book.
The naval review at Oyster Bay,
because it was commanded by Ad-
miral Robt. D. Evans. perhaps, re-
calls an incident of the Spanish
American war which has not before
been written about 1t may be that
| it's recital at this time will help TO
show how accurate a man is this Of
ficer, who has suffered from false
conception of his character.
Admiral Sampson had determined
to begin the war by the bombardment
of Havana, and on April 4, 1898,
Evans, then captain, wrote letter
to the then editor of Harper's Weekly
containing this paragraph:
Il shall have the honor of leading
in the Iowa, and when we open, at
about 800 yards, with the Indiana
close astern, if those poor chaps
from the Maine don't giggle in their
collins it will be wonder"
This was the pregnant part of the
1
Washington to attack Havana, much
OF his disappointment and wrath. To
one sitting at a distance. not know
| ing Evans and knowing of the pro-
posed bombardment only as a rumor,
the letter might have seemed bit
of buster.
But after a few months chance put
the logbook of the New York, the
| flagship, in the way of the recipient
of the letter, and there he read Samp-
sons order for the bombardment of
Havana, giving the order of the ships
and designating the distance at
which the firing should begin, pre-
cisely as Evans had stated them in
the letter.
But why go in to within 500 yards
of the new forts, which were much
more heavily armed than the ships of
SIMPSONS fleet? Months after read
ing the logbook the recipient of the
letter attended a dinner given in
honor of Admiral Sampson.
The admiral made there one of the
| few speeches of his life, and in it he
told the reason--a reason characters
| tic of his keen Judgment of his bold
ness-for selecting 800 yards He
had found out that a short time be-
fore the Spaniards had momentarily
awakened from their usual torpor and
had practiced from the new works,
| firing at floating targets. They had
fioated these targets past their guns
at 1900 yards.
Sampson at once concluded that
| they supposed he would attack at
that distance and quickly determined
to go in at 500 yards, for, he explain
ed, the Spaniards having once fixed
their sights for a target 5000 yards
away would not be able to change
them, but would fire over his ships
| until he had dismounted their heavy
pieces with his rapid fire guns So
the chain was completed, for we had
