MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE.
SooooooooooooooooooooooocS I
PLATONIC.
I had s worn to be a bachelor, she had sworn to be a maid,
For we quite agreed in doubting whether matrimony paid;
B' ides, we had our higher loves—fair science ruled rny heart,
And she said her young affections were ali bound up in art.
So we laughed at those wise men who say that friendship cannet live
'Twixt u.:.n and woman, unless each has something more to give',
We would be friends, and friends as tsue as e’er were man and man—
I’d be a second David, and she Mies Jonathan.
We scorned all sentimental trash—vows, kisses, teaja and sighs j
High friendship such as ours might wclL»uch childish arts despite;
We liked . ach other, that was all, quite all there was to say,
So we jn.t sltook hands upon it, in a business sort of way.
We shared our secrets and our ioys, together hoped and feared,
With common purpose sought the goaf lhat young ambition reared;
We dreamed together of the days, the dream-bright days, to come,
We were strictly confidential, and so we called each other “chum.”
And many a day we wandered together o’er the hills—
1 seeking bugs and butterflies, and she the ruined mills
And rustic bridges and the like, that picture-makers prize
To run in with their waterfalls, and groves, and summer skies.
And many a quiet evening, in hours of silent ease,
We floated down the river, or strolled beneath the trees.
And talked in long gradation from the poets to the weather,'
While the western skies and my cigar burned slowly out together.
. Yet through it all no whispered word, or tell-tale glance, or sigh,
Told aught of warmer sentiment than friendly sympathy.
We talked of love as coolly as we talked of nebulae,
And thought no more of being one than we did of being three.
“Well, good^h yc. Chum!” I took her hand, for the time had come to go.
My going meant our parting—when to meet, we ilid not know.
I had lingered long, and said farewell with very heavy heart;
For although we were but friends, ’tis hard for honest friends to part.
"Good-bye, old fellow 1 don't forget your friends beyond the sea.
And some day, when you’ve lots of time, drop a line or two to me.”
The words came lightly, gaily, hut a great sob, just behind.
Welled upward with a story of quite another knd.
And then she raised her eyes to mine, great liquid eyes of hltte.
Filled to the brim, and running o’er, like violet cups’ of dew;
One long, king glance, and then 1 did what I never did before—
Perhaps the tears meant friendship, but I’m sure the kiss meant more.
.They act like Exercise.

Japanese Hosts at Liao Yang—Oyama

Russia's Cist.
Liao Yang Letter to New York Even
ing Post.
Germans spoke In French and Eng
Hah; Americans mingled these with
Japanese: the Japanese used all three
the Austrlnn and the Swiss, having
no special tongue, employed each, ex
cept Japanese, as required: the
French avoided Geormnn. yet conde
scended to English when It was socia
ble to do so. but the English stuck to
Engllah. There wna In consequence a
babel of conversation In the marquee,
which had been built for Gen. Oku's
nfternoon tea In an open space of the
Itussinn part of Liao Yang, lately taken
by Japanese arms at a cost of more
thnn 20,000 'men. At the start there had
been very little conversation. After
Oku's staff set on the table* fresh
caviare, stoffen. excellently cooked
beef, stuffed veal, lamb chops, tinned
salmon, bologna and salads, and some
thing In gelatine, and especially after
Ctmuteau I*a Rose, champagne, Nippon
beer, Glenllvet. Runslnn mineral water.
Russian coffee, Egyptian cigarettes.
Manila cigars and matches made In
Milan had been passed along the linen-
covered tables garnished with flower*
M Jnponalse In exploded Russian
shrapnel shells, there seemed to bo
plenty to talk about, and almost a suf
ficiency of languages. Leaving out the
salads, all these comestibles, as well as
the linen and the crystal, had been
left by the Russians, who retreated
from Liao Yang nbout 1 o'clock on tho
morning of Reptemher 4.
Costumes of hosts and guests were
of Infinite variety. In prior they were
confined to different shades of khaki,
different shades of blue, and—among
the correspondents—different sorts of
whipcord, flannel and eravanette. Aus
tria showed a cobalt blue coat and a
cap of exaggerated height; Canada a
greenish buff coat with a cap of over
spreading flanges; India a snug khukt
with many belts and straps; France a
black glased cap nnd "Confederate
gray" coat that looked like Russian:
America a campaign hat nnd khaki
the hue of grass on an autumn hill
side after the first frost: England
showed a khaki which you nre familiar
with: Rpnln a sky blue: France a sim
ilar coat and a sun helmet. Jn the mid
dle of these moved Japanese adjutants
In dark blue, tasselled gold sashUn
down the breast; staff officers In dark
blue with gold shoulder knots, those
of the cavalry having breeches and
boots of the fine color and glaze you
see In MeelaaonleFs painting*.
Gen. Oku In—one does not recall
what, hla face la so Interesting; Gen.
Fuklsbima, proud and smiling, as be
comes a samurai, though his non wax
killed the’ether day. In white shoulder
knots and snuff woollen: Field Marshal
Oyma, In blue, with almost no decora
tions. except the great biasing ruby-
centersd order of the chrysanthemum:
Prince Nsshlmoto. in woollen khaki,
absolutely untrlmmed beyond a cap
tain's silver on the alcove. The Prince
might have been, from his uniform,
taken for a "'war correspondent," as
they style In England correspondents
who follow armies, only that your real
war correspondent with many cam
paigns behind him wears a long row of
decorations over his left-hand breast
pocket.
Nothing was lacking In the
tea except tea. Had it not been for
the vaudeville entertainment which ran
through the ceremony, and the griev
ous absence of women, you would have
thought It a military wedding break
fast. Vaudeville included Japanese
conjuring* of Ufa sort you have seen
at the Ne* York and at Keith's; mys
terious. Eastern; a dozen handker
chiefs. borrowed from the spectators.
Initiated by them, and burned before
their eyes to tinder, yet at the click of

boy's spirits, and you should have a
fair picture. Rome London corres
pondent wrote of him as "a common
place general;** another that he wo*
| . Napoleon." to both of which
remarks, by the way, the censor ob
jected. till the writer said he would
quit the army forward the characteri
sation from outside. 1 don't think the
field marshal will cere: his position as
an Influential nobleman suffices, and
brilliancy of strategies Is left to Ko-
dxma. and brilliancy of execution to
the generals of the armies. General
may be Jealous of one another, but
non Is jealous of him or his authority;
and that Is a useful qualification for
a commander-in-chief. Scotch and
English and Irish airs were played by
the band at both teas, and at the last
the anthem of Japan. As ever, the
melancholy note In that anthem gave
one the same repeated apprehension
"Isn't It odd." said a French, office*
when a "Fantasie IreUinde" waa being
pjyyed, "that although of the Irish
are the most light-hearted of peoples,
their music carries a feeling of wail
ing and mournning?" It Is of a sort
with the songs of Japan; the cry of a
i banshee ip the shadow.
