Willie Discovered a New Game.

They had lived in a fiat all of Will
lies short life, so that the little boys
knowledge of fauna and flora was
limited to canary birds and flower
boxes; and when they went to board
in the suburb where there was a large
yard, Willie, very enthusiastically
started to pursue a chicken, armed
with a stick and other missiles.
When the hostess protested to his
mother, she turned from the window
and said, indulgently:
You have to forgive dear Willie

Poetry and Music.

If had to live my life again I would
have made a rule to read some poetry
and listen to some music at least once
every week; for perhaps the parts of
my brain now atrophied would thus
have been kept active through use.
The loss of these tastes is a loss of
happiness, and may possibly be inju-
rious to the intellect, and most prob
ably to the moral character, by en-
feebling the emotional part of our ma
ture.-Charles Darwin.

z. l. -1urnbuirs "A Melody from Lam
ier's Flute was the feature Of the con
cert by the United States Marine Band
at the Capitol yesterday afternoon. The
history Of the number Is rs interesting
~ the selection n beautiful.
Sidney Lanier. the famous Baltimore
poet. was as accomplished a master OF
the flute as he was a writer of verse.
He fought In the civil war. and where
ever he went he carried with him flute
that he priced more than anything else
on earth. He was confined for a time
at Point Lockout Prison in Virginia, and
managed upon entering the institution to
smuggie the flute inside the walls by
concealing II up his sleeve.
Day after day he would beguile the
weary hours of prison life by playing on
the instrument. There was one plaintive
melody especially that he loved to play.
and never did he play II but tears were
brought to the eyes Of shis comrades.
One Of the companions Of these dark
days was John B. Tabb. likewise a Bal
<timore poet. who became after the war
q professor at St. Charles College. near
Ellicott City. Md.
ar. Tabb never forgot the melody that
Lanier loved so well to play. and many
years after the war he hummed the tune
from memory to Mr.. Turnbull. who ar
ranged and harmonized it And II was
this melody that the band played last

H. San.elmann. the leader.

The Secretary and the Ambassador
were in conference for about half an
hour at the State Department.
Mr.. Bryan and the Ambassador both re-
fused to discuss the note and its con-
tents In any way. Mr.. Bryan declined TO
say whether the reply OF the United
States. which is the second of the series
Of exchanges, would afford the basis for
a settlement of the controversy between
the two countries. 1t is understood the
two governments really are no nearer a
settlement of the matter than at the out
set The discussions between them now
haze developed into the purely legal and
argumentative stage.
