MY COURTHOUSE
By FIorence D. Buchanan.

They are tearing down my Court
house.
Maybe it don't affect you so,
But as child. l thought I owned that
place,
Oh yes. that was years ago.
They built the place in 80.
And when quite little tot,
1 used to skate around IT,
And admire the quaint % spot;
And oft before l cen could walk,
Just at the sleepy hour
They'd carry me to see the clock,
Shining from the lofty tower
And when returning home from
school.
We'd have to take a slide
Down the old stone balustrades,
Round on the King street side,
And the many happy times | spent
Are over now ! know,
All Of which reminds me,
That folks are bound to grow;
We can't stand still i'm these times
With progress at our door,
And each growing generation,
/ Just wants a little more.
For 7 know there's not a soul around
Though he'd scratch his head rea
hard.
Ever could remember,
My great grandpa's marble yard.
And yet today where that old white
Picket fence used TO be
The Masonic Hall, and Grand Opera
House.
Looms up majestiCally,
And so in generations gone
The same thing has been done,
Leaving the next generation
To complete what We've begun;
SO take away our land marks
And raze them every one,
But our memories we'll cherish,
Until our setting sun.
And when our great grandchildren
Are crossing Rodney Square,
{ wonder il they'll remember
My Courthouse once stood there.

Special Correspondence.
ATHENS, Greece, April 3O.-Ba-
varia is seething with unrest against
the kaiser.
Pamphlets in circulation there call
for the fall of the Hohenzollerns as
the only way ayerting catastrophe
for Germany.
Censors have tried to destroy all
these pamphlets, but some have
reached Bulgaria, where they were
seen by traveller who told your cor
. respondent about his travels today
after reaching Athens.
The pamphlets author signs HIM
self Henry the Conqueror, and de-
clares the victories of Wilhelm Hob
enzollern will bring their own defeat.
He declares neither for republic
nor for the accession of the Bavarian
king to the imperial throne, as did a
former Bayarian tract; but deyotes
his energies to combating the Hohen-
zOllern house
The traveller who brought the news
of these pamphlets discloses many
other interesting facts about the con
ditlons within Serbia, Bulgaria and
the TeutOnic empires.

line of railway running TO Budapest
from the Serbian frontier, which is
choked with continually passing
trains containing war material he
says. At an intermediate station he
saw many wagons full of old iron,
barbed wire, copper fragments and
cotton. These were going from Con
stantinople to Germany. The only eX-
press train he encountered was the
Balkan hospital train
The condition of Budapest, so far
as the civilian population was con-
cerned, this traveller described as
piteous. In Bohemia he saw some Tur-
ki3h troops who had come from Ana
tolia and were in a wrethced condi-
ton. These have by now probably
been recalled to Turkey. The Turkish
troops at the time of his journey we're
much i'm evidence.
Vienna itself was one vast hospital
The celebrated forests of Semmering
had been almost cut down and the
position was being fortified by gangs
of Italian and Serbian prisoners. In
another town notices were posted M
summonng youths of 16 to present
themselves for seryise in hospitals

ments of Rumanian race We're prac
tically imprisoned because Of their un
satisfactory conduct at the front.
