ARMY WORMS
Health Board Force Will Be.
gin Their Operations
This Afternoon

Under command of General Hen.
Lang and Lieutenant General Brooks,
of the Board Of Health executive force,
war is to be opened this afternoon
upon the cohorts Of army worms that
for five days have held possession of
yards Of houses along the west side
of Van Buren street above Ninth.
General Lang and his forces are TO
make a flank movement TO turn the
front Of the worms which are Wrig-
Cling their way toward the rich ana
promised land OF Cool Spring Park
with its wealth of grass trees ana
shrubbery which would soon disappear
should the enemy reach IL.
Health officers Lang and Brooks ana
some other city officials reconnoitred IN
the vicinity Of the worm camp this
morning and laid their strategic plans
for this afternoons coup.
There are millions OF the green
worms, whose length varies from l Ia
inches to 2 inches, but Health Ofleers
Lang and Brooks expect TO overWheim
them with deluge Of poisonous water
that will place the crawling Leueanla
unipuncta hors de combat and put an
end to their threatened invasion Of the
park.
The health officers will use lawn
sprays. which were loaned by the
Water Department, and will shower a
solution of Paris Green and Bordeaux
mixture upon the worms. II is belieV-
ed this will kill all of the pests upon
which it falls. At the same time II
,r,iU NOT DESTROY thQ grass.
The worms we're marshalled in their
usual array, the hottest part OF today
and another detachment of them mas
appeared in the yard Of former Mayor
Charles d. Birds home at NO. llos
West Eighth street This is but a
block and a half from Eighth street

"We cannot forget how your Presi-

America,

viewer that Count Okuma Will make
YOU leader Of the progressive party

overthrowing the salon5e ministry. .
The Baron laughed. Il have already

Hast ever felt that inward longing
For a home, beyond the sun.
II some mortal you've been wronging,
Have you grieved for wrong that's

DO you ever sit near close OF day
on some green and grassy knoll.
And your thoughts go drifting far

Hast ever gazed on works Of art,
Formed OF senseless paints or stone,
That stir your soul and warm your

AS you gaze IN awe alone?
Why does senseless matter awe you,
Be they tragic, wise, or droll
Some folks know, they are but few,
'Tis this, their shades from artists

Does music cause your blood 20 fly,
Yet II comes from matter rude,
At times you laugh, at times you cry,
To the soul il is as food.
Doth ever thought come 10 your brain
AS the stirring chords doth roll,
Though they shout with joy or wall
with pain.
They are cries from the artists soul.
Hast pondered DER some poets word,
Didst feel joy az words he said.

Be he obscure and Of the herd,
or known from pole TO pole,
What causes thrill from poets word
'Tis this, their shadows from HIS

'Tis the soul'e endeavor to be free.
They symbol good, they battle wrong
'Tis so they always seem to me.
