We Should Have Known
NJ. c. ROBBINS.

We should have known the storm
would pail,
The sun would shine once more.
We should have known our Fathers
hand,
Controlled all as before.
But there are times you know when
we
Let go the nail-torn hand.
'Tis then the darkness grows more
dense.
And we don't understand.
We should have known our pains
would cease
When sacked and weak and worn.
But flesh is weak and there are times
When hearts with doubts are torn.
Sometimes these trials come you know
To teach us how to bear
The chastenings that He sends US here
That we a crown may wear.
We should have known the flowers
would bloom,
When snOwfiakes fell around
The flowers were sleeping then you
know,
Just underneath the ground.
But they will come to us again,
To gladden. heart and eye
Their beauty and their fragrance
speaks.
And tell they never die.
Yes we we'll know the birds that fly,
And seek warmer cline,
viii sing again a sweeter song,
When brighter suns will shine.
Just so our loved ones we shall meet
Beyond earth's cold and storm,
Twill be in the eternal dawn,
OF the resurrection morn.

LONDON. May 19.-(By Mail to
New York. when the Zeppelins
come to London they will find London
ready. Britishers are saying little
about the Zeppelins. They expect the
raid; they are preparing TO deal
with it.
Oficials at the war office. it is
known. have ceased to take the Ger
man threats with a grain of salt.
Since the Lusitania disaster they are
viewing things more seriously. They
believe the Germans when they say
they'll try to level London with their
Zeppelins.
For months preparations have been
going forward to deal with Count
Zeppelins air monsters. The general
public knows that anti-aircraft guns
are in readiness to shoot the heavens
full of holes, and that London's fire
brigades have been especially coached
to deal with fires caused by incen-
diary bombs. The aerial wings of
the army and navy have several
trump cards yet unplayed. When the
Germans come to London they will
play them, and not before.
Unofficially IL is learned that
throughout England huge aerodromes
have been constructed, each harbOr-
ing a dozen of fast air cruisers. Con-
Meeting them is veritable fire
alarm" system. which. in due time,
will tell every aerodrome by the tap
ping Of a gong that the Kaiser's Yep
pelins have arrived on their fearful
mission.
1t will be signal for great activity
Hundreds of humble bee" warriors
will soar into the air for the attack

RECOLLECTIONS OF
SCHOOL DAYS
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
by James T. CrOzier.

The little old house where l went to
school.
That stood near the old mill race.
Is no longer there now. has gone long
ago,
And a farm house has taken its
place.
The teacher now sleeps in the old
grave yard,
And most of the girls and boys
Who often did play on that old race
bank,
And at recess make plenty of noise.
And the old stone mill is no longer
there,
Where the farmers brought wheat
to be ground.
There is naught TO be seen except two
old stones.
But they'll never again make the
sound,
That once could be heard in the old
school house.
While grinding wheat, oats or corn,
But 1t seems to me almost hear them
yet,
When ioOh at lnem old ana worn.
There are very few left in this world
just now,
Who went to the school in that day.
Nearly all of them gene and the two
or three left.
Are now full of wrinkles and grav.
And yet TO look back it does not seem
long,
Since the classes we're called to re-
cite,
By the teacher whose features are
plain to me yet,
And his kind words to those who
were right.
It is sweet to remember the days of
our youth,
And the pleasures we all enjoyed
then,
Green spots in the memory Of woman
and man,
We can never enjoy such again,
But happy are they who depend on
that friend,
Who has promised to bring us safe
home,
If we shall be faithful and trust to
the end,
Where partings will never more
come.

It was at breakfast at which
Whitelaw Reid was the host, and
which was served at his Madison ave-
nue. home. New York city, one Sunday
morning just before Mr.. Reid became

sented Massachusetts in part in the

years earlier. as one or the FIVE Amcri-
can commissioners who met in Paris
after the close of the war with Spain
to negotiate the treaty of peace with
that country He was the only one
of the commission who did not re-
celve either political or money remu-
nerauon for that service. The Secre-
tary of State. Mr.. Day. now of the Su-
preme Court bench at Washington,
was nominated by President Mckinley
as Judge of the United States Circuit
Court for the district of which Judge
Days home State OhiO-was "a part.
To accept that Office entailed resig-
nation as Secretary Of State. John
Hay. at that time our ambassador to
the Court of st. James. was named by
| President Mckinley as successor to
Judge Day as Secretary of state. That
left a vacancy in the English mission
and Mckinley by writing, | was told,
offered The post to Senator Hoar. The
Senator was, of course much gratihed

not felt that he could not afford TO.

court of St. James could not main
tain himself in that post in accordance
with the traditions except at cost Of
$4,000 a year, while the salary was
only S175OO.

never let a trick escape him was.

transfer OF the sovereignty over the
Philippines ard over Porto Rico from
Spain to the United States.
Senator Hoar was the leader among
those who were called at that time.

to prevent the ratification of tins
treaty because he believed that the
United States should not accept SOW

their consent.
Mckinley was a good deal disturbed
over the opposition by Senator Hoar "a
