this page the poem of the Quangie
Wangie's Hat which has delighted at
least two generations OF readers. As
many will remember. this is one nf
the nonsense poems'' of Edward Lear,
whose Nonsense Book was a classic
as much as forty years ago. These
poems were written as q relaxation
from his serious work, for he first
became known as an illustrator OF
archaeological and geological books.
Among his serious works are: Illus
trations of the Family OF the Psitta-
cidae'' and Journal OF q Landscape
Painter IN Corsica" He was an init
mate friend OF Tennyson. who dedi-
Gated 10 him a poem headed ITO e.
L. Says the Times Democrat.
Following ~ one OF his inimitable
s.nonsense poens:"
On the top OF the Crumpetty Tree
The Quangte Wangie sat:
But his face you could not see
On account OF his beaver hat:
For his hat was a hundred and two
feet wide.
with ribbons and bibbons on every
side,
And bells and buttons and hoops and
lace,
So that nobody ever could see the face
OF the cluangie Wangle Quee.
The ouangle wangie said
To himself, on the Crumpetty Tree:
Jam and jelly and bread,
Are the best food for me!
But the longer I live on this Crum-
petty Tree.
The palmer than ever it seems to me
That very few people come this way.
And that wife ON the whole IL far
from gayl"
Said the Quangie wangle ouee.
But there came to the Crumpetty Tree
MIR. and Mrs. Canary;
And they said: did you ever see
Any spot az charmingly airyq
May we build a nest by your lovely.
Hat?
Mr.. Quangle Wangle grant US that.
please let us come and build a nest
or whatever material suits you best,
Mr., Quangle Wangle Quee."
And. besides, to the Crumpetty Tree.
Came the stork, the Duck and the
Owl,
The Snail and the Bundle Bee.
The Frog and the Ffmble Fowl
(The Fimhle Fowl with Corkscrew
leg);
And all OF them said: I'VE humbsy
beg
We may build our homes on your
lovely Fiat,
MFR onangie Wangie grant us that.
Mr.. Quangle Wangle Quee."
And the Golden Grouse came there,
And the Pebble who has no toes.
And the small Olympian Bear.
And the Dong with q luminous
nose,
And the Blue Baboon who played thu
flute,
And the Orient Calf from the land OF
Tute.
And the Artery Squash and the Bisky
Bat
All came and built on the lovely Hat
OF the Quangie Wangle Quee.
And the Quangle Wangle said
To himself, on the Crumpetty Tree:
When all these creatures move.
What a wonderful noise there'n be-
And at night. by the light of the Null
berry Moon,
They danced to the flute OF the Blue
Baboon,
On the broad green leaves OF the
Crunapetty Tree:

GRANTED LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
Col. Gaillard Not to Be Retired From
Canal Commission.

1t is said at the War Department that
there is no intention of relieving Lieut.
Col. David DUB. Gaillard, Corps of En-
gineers. from duty as member of the
Panama canal commission in consequence
of his temporary breakdown. Col. Gail
lard has been given leave of absence on
account of i'll health and at present is I'M
der treatment at the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital. in Baltimore. Although he is seri-
ously ill. there is no reason to doubt that
he will recover his health sufficiently to
be able to resume his duties at Panama
IN charge of the central division of the
canal work. which includes the section
through the Culebra cut.
During his absence Col. Goethals. chair
man of the commission. has placed A. S.
linn, one of Col. Gaillard'S assistant en-
gineers, in temporary charge of the work
of the central division. 1t is stated that
affairs will remain in that condition until
Col. Gailiard returns to duty or it is
finally established that his health will not
permit him to do so. At any rate, no
change in the existing status is likely to
be made for two or three months. In
case 1t should become necessary to fill
Col. Gaillards place on the canal COM
mission the selection probably would fall
on Lieut.. Col. w. V. Judson. Corps of En-
gineers, one of Col Cocktails personal as
sistantS in canal work, but not now
member of the commission.
Col. Judson was Engineer Commissioner
Of the District of Columbia up to March
last, when he was transferred to duty on
the Panama canal at the special request
Of Col. Goethals. That action was taken
with the view. it is said. of placing Col.
Judson in charge of the operation OF the
great waterway when Col Goethals Off
cially reports that construction work is
completed and the canal is open to the
shipping of the world. That event has
been officially fixed for January l. 1915.
