day
Was Victory or Death!"
Long had the doubtful conflict ragged
Der all that stricken plain.
For never ferccr fight had waged
The yengeful blood of Spain;
And still the storm of battle grew,
Still swelled the CORY tide;
Not long, our stout old chieftain
knew,
Such odds his strength could bide.
"Twas in that hour his stern cQnl-
mand
Called to martyrs grave
The flower OF his beloved land,
The nations flag to. save,
BY rivers Of their fathers gore
His first born laurels grew,
And well he deemed the sons would
pour
Their lives for glory, too.
Full many a mothers breath has
swept
Ger Angostura's plain
And long the plying sky has wept
Above it's mouldering slain.
The ravens scream, or eagles fight
Or shepherds pensive lay
Alone awakes each sullen height
That OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
That frowned DER that dread fray.
"sons OF the Dark and Bloody
Ground,
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues
resound
Along the needless air.
Your own proud filter heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil,
tC uoIISa III uGl uIuNCs
Thus meath the parent turf they
rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast
On many a bloody shield.
The sunshine Of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here.
And kindred eyes and hearts watch
The heroes sepulchre.
"Rest on, embalmcd and saintcd
dead!
Dear as the blood We gave;
No impious footstep here shall tread
The heritage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forget :,
While anne her record keeps.
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Calor proudly sleeps.
"You marble minstrel's voiceless
stone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many vanished age hath
II flown
The story how ye fell:'
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters
blight, IN Z
Nor Times relporseless doom,
Shall dim one ray or,Glory's light
That giIds your deathless tomb.

THE B1voUAC OF THE DEAD
Famous Poem Recalled by
Monument Recently Elect.
ed to Author, Theo.
0'Hara.
Last week at Frankfort, KY,

tablet Of Italian marble was erected
at the he'd of the tomb of Theodore
O'Hara, the famous Kentucky poet,
lawyer. and soldier.
The tablet was erected by the Ken
tucky State Historical Society. On
the front of it in bas relief is a
hap, with O'Hara's name beneath,
followed by Il verse from his Div
ouac Of the Dead" On the other
side, facing the sarcophagus, is a
pen and wreath, with two more
verses from the Bivouac of the Dead
inscribed beneath.
OHara was born near Danville,
H., in 1920, and died in Guerryton.
Ala, in 1857. Some Of his poems
are among the finest lyrics in the
literature Of America; and especial
~ line is the "Btvouac of the Dead"
reproduced below. This poem was
written and read on the occasion of
the dedication Of, monument to the
Kentucky volunteers who were kill
cd at Buena Vista, Mexico, during
the Mexican war, 1S46-4S, and
whose remains we're afterwards re-
moved and permanently hurried in
Kentucky. In reading it, one must
be struck forciDly with the peculiar
fitness Of IL as an epitaph for 0Hara,
himself, who as a son Of the dark
and bloody ground" Won distinction
as a soldier and fame as a poet. 1t
might be said with exact truth that
he wrote his own epitaph, in as much
as the society which erected the tab
let, used thereon excerpts from this
poem, and a sweeter or more noble
epitaph no man could have:
1.-THE muffled dram's sad roll has beat
The soldier last tattoo;
no more OF life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread
And glory guards, in solemn round,
The bivouac Of the dead.
$40 rumor OF theIfoe's advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled Thought at midnight
haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn, or screaming fife
IA dawn shall call to arm.
"Tleir shivered swords are red with
rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed; ]:
Their naughty banner, trailed fri
dust, u
Is now their martial shroud "a
And plenteous funeral, tears have
washed u
y The red stains from each brow, y
And the proud forms, by battle CASH
ed,
Are free from anguish now.
"The neighboring troop, the fishing
blade,
The bugle's stirring blast, y
The charge, the dreadful cannonade.
The din and shout, are past;
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermore shall
feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps Ills great plateau,
Flushed with thsltriumplli yet to gain

Many London women are said to
have SO little spending money that
when they wish to go to matinee
they have to take the gallery or pit
seats, says n writer. However, that
ought not to be very great dep
rivatiOn, as most married women who
go to theatres without their hus-
bands like to take the most incon-
spicuous seats, and some even prefer
the novelty Of the gallery once in a
while.
Sir Henry Wood, director and con-
ductor of the Queens Hall orchestra

UNITED STATES ACTS.
lnsists That ex-Presdent Madero Be Given Fair Trial.

Washington, Feb 21-Intervention of the United States government to se- cure justice or at least a fair trial for fallen President Madero of Mexico as announced by Secretary Knox at The cabinet meeting today, was an un-
 expected development of the state de-
 partment's policy in regard to that
 republic. As recently as yesterday
 it was announced that there was no intention to depart from the policy of non intervention in the Mexican
 this statement was based upon the
 natural assumption that the newly established Mexican government would observe the amenities of civilized war either high or tow degree. and when the killing of Gustayo Madero gave ground for genuine apprehension for the fate of the president it was felt that the time had come to stretch forth a restraining hand
 State Department Aided Diaz,
 The administration feels that it has policy of strict neutrality. It's action was purely impersonal and probably would have followed as surely had General Diaz been captured by Made TO and threatened with death without the process of law. The fact is, though not officially admitted, that in an un- official manner, the state department did bring to bear influences which SdSeo OiaZ IfuIn Qealn, when ne was captured by General Bedtran at Vera Cruz last fall. It is believed that the Mexican people themselves. after the heat of combat is over will be the first to express gratitude to the United States government for pre- venting tho placing of such a spot up- on the reputation of their country as would follow what practically would amount to the murder of deposed president
 lAL
 It is recalled in some quarters that the action of the administration in the case of Madero is precisely the reverse of that taken 46 years ago when President Andrew Johnson re- fused to intervene to prevent the shooting of the unfortunate emperor MaximillIan, who was by a singular coincidence betrayed by the military leader.
