THE IDES OF MARCH
By Ernest McGaffey

The swallows dip on restless wing
Around the meadows bare,
And early timid violets bring
Their woodsy perfume rare;
While scattered clouds grotesquely piled
Like snowy castles rise,
And, gray against the blue, and wild,
A wandering killdee flies.
The tawny creeks. gray flecked with foam,
Go tumbling through the hills.
And round the bends in tumult foam
Or clatter past the mills;
Beyond. hawk on pinions wide
Wheels in a circle bland,
And silently the streams beside
The sculptured cattle stand.
The bluebird perches on stake
And then begins to sing;
His sweet but faint-heard warbles wake
The sleeping soul of Spring;
And hidden choruses of frogs
By pools and rivulets
Across the slopes from distant bogs
Sound sharp their castanets.
Film-scrolled along the far-off sky
The curling smoke wreaths twine,
And plowboys whistle trudging by
Where black-turned furrows shine;
BY pasture lands in thicket ways
The pussy willows cling,
While broods above the nights and days
The haunting face of Spring.

" How in the world should immense opal and

Astro laughed That's where the true half of
his lie comes in. Undoubtedly boy did sell it to

Washington Square was in old days a Potters
Field. Many graves have been found here, and
doubt the gamins of the neighborhood have watched
every shovel and got the skulls there. The Italian

THEY got into the hanson and drove rapidly to

Mexico at the time of Maximilians regime. He had
had the good fortune to be of service to the En-
Peror, who had been duly grateful. In return for
his services, the Emperor, at their last meeting
shortly before the end of Maxmilian tragic career
had rather loosely offered him his choice of two

THREE MEN WAGE A BLOODY
BATTLE ON SUMMIT OF
NOTED MOUNTAIN.

midnight death struggle with two
University of Chicago students on

ard HI. Robinson, government care
taker of the summit house, lies
near death In the st. Francis hos
Pital in this city. The tudents,
John A. Clark and George Ship
ley, are in Jail.
Yesterday Clark and Shipley
walked to the summit, arriving
about midnight.
Weak and cold after their long
climb, the men aroused Robinson
and were given food. During me-
gotiations for rooms for the re-
mainder of the night, a dispute
arose.
According to the story told by
the students, Robinson drew a
short club which he carried, and
was the aggressor in the fight that
followed.
After lengthy struggle. during
which all three men were injured
seriously, Robinson fell uncon-
scious to the floor. Clark and
Shipley bathed their own wounds,
and failing to revive Robinson,
telephoned to the cog road depot
at Manitou.
Sheriff George Birdsall, accom-
panied by physician and several
deputies, boarded a special train,
and made the run to the summit
in the record time of one hour.
The wounds of the three men
were dressed.
The two college men apparent
ly are broken hearted over the af-
fair. They assert Robinson was
injured while they were defend
ing themselves from his attack.

He received several cuts which
