A SPRING POEM.
Chicago Post.


The balmy wind is rich as wine
a. And dances down q HILL
U1l nave to take some more .quinine
I think / have a chilli
The grass Is green along the brook,
The daffodils awake
(Please get my muffler off the hook;
My neck begins to ache)
The forest turns beneath the breath
OF spring, to living green
I'll bet a cent I've caught my death
OF cold; / feel so meanD
Oh, come with me and we will tread
The paths we knew OF old
Uve got a buzzing in my head.
Say, what's good for a cold@)
Out yonder see each swelling bud
That TELLS of incense sweet
CThe road is inches deep in mud;
You'll sink o our feet.)
The lilac blooms in purple pride
Along the garden wall.
my head feels like a stove inside;
I can not breathe at alb
The violets nod in the grass,
An echo of the sky
THAT tonic yonder in the glass
I'll have TO take. or die.)
A birdsong thrills across the field
In memory sublime
Get me that bottle just unsealed;
To take my drops tbs time)
Oh. all the world is glad and fair
And all is made TO please .
Great Scott! II loosens all my hair
Most every time | sneezeD
A song is singing in my heart
The wonder-song of old.
Nurse, don't forget the fever chart
Confound this blasted coldD

Champ Clark's complaint that the re-
publicsns of the ways and means commit
tee had prepared the tariff bill without
consulting their democratic colleagues re-
calls one OF the cleverest things ever said
in the house OF representatives. The Mills
bill was prepared by the democratic mem
bers of the committee without consultation
with the republicans. When that bill was
reported 20 the house Thomas b. Reed ex-
pressed his regrets that the contents OF the
measure had been withheld from the wise

There is a persistent rumor that army
and navy officers on duty in Washington.
especially those connected with the War
and Navy departments, will be required TO
wear, while on duty. the uniform of the
service. The evlva OF such an entirely
useless, not to say ridiculous. requirement
may very well be viewed with apprehen-
sion by the victims of such an order.
Aside from the undesired conspicuousness
and the positive discomfort of appearing
in uniform, there is the very practical OBJ
lection of individual expense and the fact
that 1t il destined TO subject the wearer
OF uniform, under such unnecessary circum-
stances. to public attention. operating to
the distinct disadvantage OF the service.
In this connection. II is recalled that Mr..
Taft. as secretary of war, revoked the
order issued by Lieutenant General Chat
fee requiring army officers on duty In the
War department to wear their uniforms.
The objections to the wearing OF the uni
form by army and navy officers in Wash
ington are so pertinent and apparent that
1t is difficult 10 believe that Mr.. Taft will
now impose any such combination of hard
hip and tom-foolery upon the military and
naval personnel.

The question recently arose with the audi
tor for the War department as to whether
the comptroller's decision OF June II, 1905,
was such as to entitle an enlisted man Of
the army who had been discharged before
May II. 1908. and remaining out more than
three months. resuming a re-enlistment
after May IL, 10 the pay OF the second en-
listment period. The paymaster general Of
the army submitted the question TO the
comptroller and the latter has rendered a
decision as follows: II am of the opinion
that the provision in the law of May II,
applies to any soldier honorably dis
charged at the termination Of his first or
any succeeding enlistment period and
that it makes no difference whether such
discharges was before or after May IL pro-
vided he does not reenlist within three
months after he has been so discharged.
The obvious purpose of the provision was
to induce men who had been honorably
discharged at the termination of an enlist
ment period to reenlist. Whether such
men so discharged are entitled to the bene-
fits granted by the law depends upon
whether after such discharge they do or
do not reenlist within three months after
such discharge regardless of whether such
discharge was before or after May IL"
Information has reached the War depart
ment that Herring. the inventor Of a flying
machine for the delivery OF which he pos
sesses a contract with the chief signal Of
ficer of the army has shared his contract
with others. This is possible under the
terms of the contract which simply re-
quired that MIR. Herring should deliver for
purposes OF trial al Fort Myer a machine
capable OF flying under variously stipu-
lated rates of speed, altitude, endurance
and weight carrying power. For that mat
ter Mr.. Herring could purchase a Wright
machine and get his money since there was
no requirement that his flying machine
should be of original design. 1t Is under
stood that Herring has transferred his con
tract, which is a valuable asset, TO those
who are interested In the design and devel-
opment OF what is known as the Silver
Dart" The army signal office, however
possesses no official information on this
subject and has had no intimation OF when
Mr.. Herring or his associates will present
the machine at Fort Meyer for officia
test. 1t is understood that the representa-.
lives of the Wright brothers AT Dayton

After lingering since Wednesday night in a well night hopeless condi tion at the Rhode Island hospital in Providence, as the result of inhaling gas, Mrs. Arthur Tetreault of Taftville passed away Monday morning at 11.20 o'clock Thus shrouded in grief ends the honeymoon of the young couple, who were welded here last Tuesday in the Sacred Heart church. The hus- band, found dead Wednesday night in the Narra gansett hotel in Providence, was sadly laid to rest Sunday and his bride will follow him by but a brief interval.
 At ten o'clock Monday morning there came this telegram to the father of the bride

they arrived at the Rhode Island hos pital to learn that she had died but short time before.
 In Taftville. where the young wo- man was deservedly esteemed, the news of the second death in the trog- edy spread rapidly and the general feeling of sorrow was deepened. To the family the sad tidings were unex- pected, as the reports brought back by Taftville people who were in Provi- dence Sunday, seemed to indicate turn for the better. These people were Miss Rosa Bessie and Joseph French. Miss Bessie returned Sunday night with the cheering news that at the hospital Sunday morning about 9.3O Mrs. Tetreault seemed to recognize her and even said Hello" to her. A re- lapse set in Monday morning, however, and she died without being able to make a, statement, and. clear away the mystery which at present partly coV- CTS the sad happening.
 The body of the deceased, accompa- nied by her father and MT. Tetreault, will be brought home today.
 RoselDa MarcouS was born in We don. Province of Quebtc,A Canada. on October ?, 1888. the daughter of Frank and Celina Ruelle Marcoux.
