Washington, July 27-Branding as
false the charges that $4,000 disabled
volunteer soldiers of the civil and
Spanish wars in the National soldiers

treatment. President Taft today made
public lengthy report from ]. w.

managers of the National homes.
General Wadsworth says the old
soldiers in general are contented and
enjoy such degree of happiness as is
permitted by theiE- disabilities and
unavoidable separation from relatives.

tenticp of President Taft by the
UniteN Spanish war veterans at their
Poughkespsie, n. Y, encampment and
he Immediately instituted an investi-
cation. The supply of food for the
soldiers was reported to be INSULT :

The Hunger for Folk Lore.

Landmarks, hills and streams in a
European country have not only names
but legends. Through the centuries
they have gathered tradition as fence
rail- gathers lichen. This has been one
of the advantages a German or an
English countryside could boast over
an American rural district. There
might be many stories here of an In
dian fight, Of ghost. or of a hairy
recluse, but few tales of fairies, of ar
mored warriors and gnomes who forged
troubles for human beings upon dark
nights. There are Lovers Leaps ev-
erywhere in America. but no stirring
yarn of lovers driving a ten-foot bean
pole through the economy of dragon.
But we have been reading summer
resort advertising recently and feel
confident that the poverty of legend
will soon pass away. We discover in
one pamphlet, for example, that upon
this spot the great chief Masogwe held
council with the spirits of his fathers
before giving battle with the Whites

Where l shall buried be,
Death cometh soon or late
Whether on land or sea,
What may it matter met

Bfindfy fate leads on,
Storming LIES parapet,

Whether upon the strand,
What may it matter me
Where 1 shall buried be,
Death cometh soon or late,
All are the sport of fate.
What should 1t matter me,
Failing as others fell,
Shattered by shot or SHELF
Either on land or sea.
Wrecked on the foaming bar.
Crushed in the shattered car.

Where the bleak nigbt-wind sobs.
Where the black ice-tide throbs.
