BULGARIA SPEAKS
BY CHESTER FIRklks.

My people starve:-I have other cry;
am weeping mother filled with sorrows;
know but dread to-days and dark to-morrows
My yesterdays of glory sing not !.
who have held the fortress Of the Cross
Dream not Of triumph Of banners flying;
only the little children dying
Amid the gray dead ennbers of my loss
who have welded through the ages, old
AS the bleak upon the Mount Marsaa,
The sword of Christ against the sword of Allah
| only see the far-lit flare of gold
Where flames Of the despoier paint the skies;
And out Of rsvished villages creeping
The of hunger and of weeping
'Reft mothers with the terror in their eyes.
MY people starve have other word
Unto the lands of Christine mighty others
cry for pity to the hearts of mothers,
Because the hearts of nations have not heard
My Youth is dead; my bazoned banners furIed;
a weeping woman, widowed, lonely
Not TO the World | make my prayer but-onIy
Unto the MEN and MOTHERS Of the World.

October 2s.-(Special.)- )-Cor- poral hazing has run it's course at the University of Alabama It died last night in blaze of glory, when the fresh men, 100 strong, got together to celebrate the arrival of the little green caps, and with them liberty. They stormed the town, givin vent to their enthusiasm in yells for IS. and In painting the numerals etc. But their ardor was somewhat dampened when the sophomores, who had assembled at the news of the effrontery. met them in a bunch, and 1t seemed for while as though there was going to be another of the old time class fights. But the situation was relieved by the freshmen getting cold feet and craving pardon. Only those freshmen who wear the green caps are exempt from hazing, and these adornments are very much in evidence about the campus.

A small school a few miles out in the country near here has been taken over by this club and the members propose to make out of it a
