QUIS DESlDER1O.

(By Thomas Walsh)
Dark and vast Thine outer walls
King of Light!
Weary the desert: the parchcd wind crawls
Toward the pools of night.
over Thy close there Is music stealing.
Is it Thy revel. Lord the calls
OF my childhoods dreaming? Is it tho rcaling
OF angel spires. the fcvcr's blighto
Some rose immortal there must bloom
BY fountains clear
That waves of such incffable perfume
Should reach me here!
Cool on my browS feel their sprinkle
Here in the dust of my outer gloom
Where the stars themselves seem drops that twinkle
In truant spray DER the sky wastes sheer.
Their hyssop mcts through my seoul. Perchance
She sCattcrs there
Some old love- sign some token---she whose glance
Makes consecratc and rare
1ifc's dawns and twilight-whose worn hands i'm
ploring
Are constant raised mid all Thy joys expanse
For me remembered sti in her adoring
She of the silvered even parted hair.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL II, 1877.
FOOD CONSERVATION.

1t should be of qualification to every
who believes that the United states has taken
the right stand at the present read that j. Ogden
Armour, leading packer and grain dealer. had de-
c,ared in favor of prices fixed by the government
In other words, Mr. Armour suggests that the fed
era authorities fix the price he is receive for
the vast food products of his packing plants He
suggests that the farmer be guaranteed from loss
and also be kept from realizing too great a profit
from the unnatural conditions resulting from the
war.
This attitude the part of so-called "big bust
ness" is one of the most encouraging symptoms of
a unified America and Of the greatest blows at
those who have shouted that the war is a Wall
street war; that it Is engendered by the in
flucnce of munition plants and those various manu-
facturers who are in the business OF producing
terials whose values would be enhanced by the war.
Significant OF the fact that government control
of food supplies cannot be assumed too is the
effect which Mr. Armour's declaration exercised
the markets of the country. Market reports showed
that provisions, wheat and other food staples I'M
mediately began to tumble and remarkable
drops were recorded. America should be willing to
profit by the experience of the other nations who
have been in the since its inception. We should
be Of sufficiently broad vision to realize that the
United States is not far advanced economically
as the nations of Europe and therefore should be
even more anxious to make of the lessons which
the war has taught them BY all means If it be-
comes necessary through the cxsencics of the war,
lea the government step in, regulate the prices
ulatc the food shall eat if need be and in this
way preserve the nation from want after the sup
plies which should have been conserved have dis
appeared.

GERMAN TREACHERY IN
MEXICO.
(Arthur Billiard in the Outlook

tarthur Billiard In the Outlook)
Herr Zimmerman is not naive as to expect
much to come Of his German Mexican japanese al
lance. But he doubtless thinks that we are naive
enough to be scared into inacton by it. II we are
sufficiently frightened certainly will not send
soldiers to Europe. The Germans believe that by
the DOGGY man OF invasion they have kept the best
part Of the British army at home. Perhaps we will
swallow this bait of Mexican ia panese menace.
Anyhow. it doesn't him much to make the try.
Herr Zimmerman did not think we would be
afraid of Mexico he did hope and still hopes to
brighten with Japan.
1t is not so much Gcrmanys attempt to scare
which angers me, her perfdy towards the Mexi-
cans. Just so the German statesmen melted and
betrayed the dlsafected Beers Of the South African
Union. Just so they melted and betrayed the ire
publican" movement in Ireland. / happened to be In
Dublin when that disturbance arose. I've had Il
little contact with the suffcrngs of the Belgans
I've been under Zeppelin raids. A ship ! was on
passed through the pathetic wreckage OF the steam
ship Vesuvius. torpedoed without warning It was
the most mournful sight saw; floating steam
er chairs. the wooden peg that children old and
young, throw the rope rings at and a half sunk life
boat with dead bodies in It.
But of these manifestations of German
frightfulncss stirred my wrath much as the Dub
lin instruction. What did the kaiser care for an
Irish republic? Nothing. All he wanted was an
Irish Instruction And his tools cajoled Case
ment with lying promises of help, just they had
cajoed De Wet. And Irish blood was poured
out for the greater glory of the Hohenzoerns That
was the maddening thing! The Germans got away
with their dirty plot. At least two divisions Of
English troops just ready to sail for France were
diverted to Ireland OF the kaiser was pleased
Two divisions shooting Irish peasants instead Of
Gerlnans!
And having succeeded so well in Ireland, the Ger
mans now pick the Mexcans for their next victims.
They have been at work down there for many
months with fattcry and lying promises. Don't
think they fools in this matter They've tried
the method before and found it what they call
good. They laugh in their sleeves when they talk
| to the Mexicans of the reconqucst Of the lost
Provinces Obviously unable to send real military
help at this moment. they hint at help from Japan
They don't expect the Mexicans to conquer All
they want is to get the Mcxicans to die them.
From the point of view of Realpotik. the Mexi-
| cans just valuable to the German general
staff the disaffeccd Beers and the disa ffcctcd
| lrish--just valuable and more. The Germans
| are quite ready to spend no end Of Mexican blood
| to a little inconvenience.
Trcachcry to any Mcxicans who may trust the
| Germans promise is half-thc tragic half-of Herr
Zimmermanns plot The other haf-thc comic half
is to out of our skins with the threat of
| japanese attack.

A NATIONWIDE GARDEN MOVE

(kansas City Times.)

The potato blossom Is going to be the national
backyard flower this year. Kansas City isn't the
only town to take up the backyard gardens. In
nearly city of importance associations are
ing formed to farm the vacant lots.
In Chicago they have a City Gardens association,
which will borrow unused tracts Of land and dis
tribute it in garden plots to families which will
plant them. The Chicago Herald Is urging that
every backyard every bit Of fertile ground in the
city be planted. and especially to potatoes which
are bound to be high in price for another year.
In Omaha the News says with potatoes at 50 a

Can a woman be a success in more

song writer and as playwright.
This authority on feminine abilities
was hardly out of her teens when she
found herself. famous as the author
and composer of "Dearie,' one of the
most popular songs ever written in
America by a woman. "Dearie" alone
sold more than a million copies, and
her other songs, especially Egypt
and "The Road to YESTERDAY" brought
her total sales UP to several millions
more.

1t appears that the reports on the
illness of E. H. Sothern, who has
abandoned his tour; have been some
what exaggerated. His physician,
DR.. Joseph B. Bissel, said that the
actor is no more i'll now than he
has been during the last twenty
years.
On Sunday, when his friends were
sending messages and flowers to the
supposedly sick man, Mr.. Sothern
was taking q five-mile tramp.
The continuous reports on the ser
iousness OF his condition that have
been circulated lately occasioned such
alarm to the actors wife, who IL
