The American Citizen

Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section the of Country Combination Common Sense We want the Negro voters in Wyandotte county and throughout the state of Kansas to use a little of the above. It is not for our benefit but for your own that we beseach you as a father would a son. We tell you nothing but absolute truth when we say that the futur salation of the race depends upon our independence. In year gone by we have adhered to close to one political party. It has been to our detriment as a race. In municipal, county, state and national politics, we have driven our horses to a poor market and received worst of the largags. In nearly all the affairs of life the old adage holds good "Wise men chang and a fools never changes." There are too many intelligent Negro voters throughout the length and breadth of the great state of Kansas to be led by the nose, proving a goodthing political party or another. on one position. As charity begins at home we will de- te present space to home. Every Neo give present space in Wyandotte county knows that for an untold number of years they have lined up solid for the republican party. We pause and ask—For what? Some one says because they Freed us— that so that didn't we go a long ways to wards freeing ourselves if not-ask the bleaching bones at Fort Pillow-ask the ripped I hack vetrans here and else where. Do we get any more representation NO! then why vote the straight re- publican ticket? white men do not do it we can profit by following their example in this respect. We comment to your consideration Mayor W. H. Craddock, for Governor, it is not worth while to again tell you that he is a friend of the race, for his record in Wyndotte county tells it all in language that cannot be denied. If one good term deserved another, then, it is our responsible duty to stand up first, last and all the time, not because he is a democrat or a representative of any other party, but because he is a man Hon. J. D.Waters have you met him? well he is the democratic nominee for sheriff of Wyandotte county and a fine man he is. You can rest assured that he is a winner for the people are with him and he is with the people. If you are undecided make up your mind don't be a dead one, be alive and vote for a winner.

The paramount issue of every Negro voter should be for the best interest of his race, first, last and all the time. There is Jno. E. McFadden a candidate for county attorney we ask you to vote for him because we judge his future treatment of the race, by what he has done in the past, and in speaking of his past we say without fear of truthful contradiction that as councilman of the 2nd ward, he has done more for the Negroes, than any man who ever sat in the city government, as a representation of any political party. His opponent for the office of county attorney has filled that office before, he did not do then, and present condition and circumstances warrant us in saying so far as the Negro is concerned he dare not, nor will do more for him than McFadden. Just a little common sense used by the Negro voters will enable them to vote for men that are men. It would be well to remember that Mr Noah L. Bowman is a candidate for congressman of the 2nd district. We ask the Negroes and all other men who take pride in holding up for Wyandotte county to vote for him. A man like his opponent who will make appointees in this county who a Negro is obnoxious in his nests ought to receive a fitting rebuke at the hands of Wyandotte county. Ex-Mayor Robert L. Marshman dur his two terms as mayor of this city has proved his friendship for the Negro—now he is a candidate for county commissioner from the first district—why should we not vote for him. Just use common sense. Hon. Mason S. Peters the candidate for Probate Judge, when he was in congress he did more for Wyandotte county than any other man that this county has ever helped to send to congress now its our duty be we black or white to show him our appreciation by electing him as our next probate judge.

Her death was due to an operation performed in an effort to prolong or save her life which would ultimately have been shortend by the inroad of a twenty three pound tumor. The combined medical skill of Drs. Gray, Thompson and Horsey was exhausted in behalf of her, but to no avail. Death came in 2 weeks after the operation. Mrs. Holvay was a member of the S. M.

Thursday morning Sept. 25th at 5 o'clock just about the dawn of day and before the sun rose from behind an Eastern Sky, Our dear beloved sister and friend Cornelia Holvay departed this life. Perhaps the death Angel wished, Just one more blossom that day; For his Angelic cluster So he took her far away. Sadly he left the weeping, For the bright flower lost and gone, Calmly, peacefully she is sleeping; Where the gentle breezes moan.

RESOLVED_,-That these Resolutions be spread on the Journal of this Society Miss Griffin the attending nurse at Douglass Hospital has weaved into poetry the dyingtestimony of Mrs. Holvay. Of all sad scenes of that last last Rest; The sadst are these the rest of the Blest. She had lived a perfect Christian, She had served Him every day; And at last when she lay dying, She said, Glory I'll praise Him all the way! Friends-my time has come to leave you, For the master calls me home; In this wicked world of sorrow I am never more to roam. Its the voice of the blest! That say, Ye that is weary come & rest; In the fair world above you In that land forever blessed. Papa-Now I am going to leave you, And I have nothing to regret; I'm sorry but I must leave you And Wiley with the rest. God in His own wisdom hath given, And in His own wisdom has recalled; To a land far above us To a place prepared for all. But I feel no ways discouraged, For I know I am going where; My love ones wait to meet me, In the land just over there. Wiley-Trust in the Lord husband, And see how faithful you can be; For I have always trusted Him Wiley, And He has always been good to me. And when I'm gone from those who love me In this sad, sad world below; Remember, my sirt will guide you, Kind y lead you where are you go. Now remember, what I say to Wiley, When you lay me away to rest; Fix me as nice as you can Wiley, Try to have me look my best. Papa-I have always tried to obey you, To do the very best I could; And yet it seems in all my trying I was far from being good. But my thoughts were all in earnest, And I tried to do my best; So don't grieve e about me papa, When you know I am gone to rest. Nurses, I would like to tell you, That you all have my best regards; If you don't share in earthly blessing You will in heavenly rewards. Now am I a fit subject, to go. To go before the king; Yes, Glory, Halleluish! There she praises I will sing. Mrs. Woods-We've talked it over, In the days of long ago; You can look back on my living In the happy days of yore. Let me praise Him! for I am going, And the end is coming fast; And I will soon be with Jesus, In my happy home at last. Praise Him! Yes I praise Him, And I will praise Him, all the way; For I am going home to Heaven, And the way, it seems so clear. Now I see the end coming, And peace is like a river. For I am going to leave, To return no more forever. I am dying, bend Wiley, And kiss me just once more; I have fought a might battle, But must leave you in the war. Never give up the banner Wiley, Just keep marching straight a head; And I'll meet you far in Glory When this body lies here dead. --- KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY MORNING. a Winning IN MEMORIAM Georgia Freeman Johnson, Seo'y Miss Ruth Griffin, of Clay Center Kas now nurse in Douglass Hospital.

The use of hypnosis as a means of legal investigation has just been sanctioned by the Ghent court of appeals in regard to a case known as the "Borrenman trial," which it was found impossible to elucidate by means of ordinary evidence. It appears that in the course of certain celebrations held at Alost in June, 1899, M. W. Borrenman, a merchant of that town, was seriously injured, and as a result upward of twenty arrests were made, four of the defendants' were fined and one condemned to two months' imprisonment, while damages were awarded to the plaintiff. An appeal was subsequently made on behalf of defendants, and a new trial has been in progress for some time past. One of the principal points put forward by M. Borrenman was that as a result of the attack made upon him, he suffered from deafness. Medical examination having failed to give satisfactory evidence as to the degree of deafness from which he suffered, its cause, or the probability of curing it, three experts who had charge of the case, and among whom is a professor of Ghent university, submitted that in order to elucidate these points they should hypnotize M. Borrenman. The latter having given his consent, the court has just sanctioned the carrying out of the proposal. This is the first time in Belgium that the use of hypnotism has been sanctioned for judicial purposes. The result is awaited with considerable interest. BEAUTIFUL OCEAN ANEMONES. Specks on Shells Are Beautiful Living Ocean Flowers. Along the entire Atlantic coast there lie, day after day, tide after tide, clam shells, small shells, and stones with dirty, slimy, wart-like specks on them. Rub them, and nothing is left except a disagreeable viscid fluid. Yet all these specks are living ocean flowers, the wonderful sea anemones that vlie with land flowers in beauty and with the oddest of land animals of oddity. Pick up one of these dirty shells with the warts on it and place it carefully in a pool of clear, cold sea water, where the tide can reach it to keep it pure, and you will see a marvelous thing. So slowly that the motion is almost imperceptible the wart will lengthen itself out just the least bit. Then its apex begins to swell, and finally a sharp eye can see that it is opening. Suddenly petals commence to sprout from it. You are beholding the growth of a perfect sea blossom. Bit by bit the delicate, rich-tinted petals grow. It may take five minutes, it may take an hour, according to circumstances, before the flower is open. But it is worth waiting for, even if one has to wait an entire day. These petals are of every shape and of every size and of every color. Some anemones are exactly like splendid dahlias when they are fully open. Others are of a delicate texture and tint like purple esters. "What is the chief food of the people of India?" asked a teacher in a London school the other day. "Famine" promptly answered a little girl, who had apparently been reading the manual. Asphalt Pavements About twenty-five years ago government engineers decided to pave Pennsylvania avenue in Washington with asphalt. That was the beginning of the general use of the scientific mystery for street pavements. To-day over 234,000,000 square feet of street pavements in the United States and Canada are covered with asphalt. This asphalt pavement would make a boulevard twenty-six feet wide over 1,750 miles long and would reach from New York to New Orleans, and then have several miles for side streets. "Chair-House" Lodging Known as "the chair house," a New York institution's title is derived from the fact that human beings so poor they can not buy a lodging at the cheapest Bowery resorts put up five cents for a chance to occupy a chair for the night.

There is a hospital in New York for consumptive children, as well as for older people with the same disease, and I gave the dolls to a physician who is connected with that hospital. He said afterward he wished I could have seen the children trooping toward him, each carrying a doll. But the most touching thing to me was what the nurse told the doctor, that after every child was turned with a doll there were a number left, and the poor women dying with consumption asked if each might have a doll. They all wanted them, and to each the dolls were given, and the nurse said she could not have dreamed of their 'seeing' such a comfort to those poor sick women. There were just enough dolls for each to have one. Ah er know" Call And See WILSON Stationeries. in city. Cigars and Tobaccoes. Trade Pies always on hand. Rush. Give him a trial. Kansas City, Kas.

His garments were ill-fit tint «nd coarse. His large, red uands hung awkward- ly at his sides. Two gehen econ w ed below his coat sleeve. His trousers bagged frightfully at the knees and his heavy plow shoes were strangers to polish. But his face was honest—hon- est and brown as the autumn fields. A healthy tan covered his features, Dut in his large blue eyes a sadness lin gered. He glanced into a thousand faces ‘and saw not one he knew. He ‘was jostled by the passing throng, but no frfendly hand grasped his. He was weary with his tramping and hungry for the sound of a familiar voice. Plainly he was from the country. In iis eyes there seemed to slumber the glitter of the sunlight on the ripples of a brook, and his freckled face seemed dappled’ with the shadows sweeping over meadows clover-covered. Around his worn and faded garments there seemed to cling the wild frangrance of the conflelds far outstretching and the sweeter, subtle perfume of the tangled, nodding grasses, His movements were slow and un- graceful, but his shoulders were broad and his muscles hard as steel. Neither tramp nor beggar was Robert Lane, but in his pockets there was not @ penny. A light luncheon he had eaten, but he knew not from whence his dinner was to come. He was searching for work—search- ing in strange and unfamiliar places. Few could husk more corn or pind more grain in a day than he, but he ‘was of small value in the busy marts of trade, He had ’cut adrift from his quiet, peaceful home upon a farm to drift amid the whirlpools of the metropolic. lured by wrong impressions, by mis- guided hopes. ‘And so it was not strange that his heart was heavy and his eyes dim with unshed tears. Ever before him was a picture of the sweet-faced girl waiting for him in the neat white farmhouse in the Iowa hills. He had meant to make her so proud of him. He had meant to work and economize; to save and to prosper, and then return to the old farm and her and bring her back with him to the city and dress her in fine clothes. He remembered how she smiled up into his face as they stood beside the river that last night they were togeth- er; he remembered how tenderly she placed her hand upon his shoulder; he Femembered how softly the starlight glimmered on the smooth surface. of the water; how distinctly there came to them, through the fragrant air, the barking of Wilson's dog on the hilltop a mile away, and the lowing of the cattle in the lowlands; how the beetles boomed. through the dusk; how the wind whispered among the corn, and how, over all, hung the peacefulness of a summer evening in the country. And was this the end of it all—the end of his dreams, of his hopes, of his ambitions? ‘A lump arose in his throat and he arew the back of his hand across his exes. Cable cars rattled past; clevated trains thundered overhead. An endiess stream of humanity flowed by like a Doundiess ocean about to engulf him. ‘Suddenly above the tumult and the ain arose a piercing scream, the rattle of swiftly moving wheels over the brick pavement, the shouting of men and the sound of scurrying feet, ‘Then Robert Lane beheld a spectacle that drove the blood from his temples. that made him clench his fists and stare with cold lips pressed together. ‘Along the thoroughfare a frightened team was madly dashing, dragging a eariage that whipped from side to side as the animals swerved this way and that, A frail young girl clung desper- ately to the rear seat, her face pale, her hair flying in the wind. "As the team dashed toward Robert, ‘the child's frieghtened eyes fell on bis freokeled face. Perhaps the innate strength and courage of the man im- pressed her childish mind—perhaps it was but a desperate hope of succor. At All events she partly arose and reached out her hands towards him, while into ther eyes there flashed an appealing gleam, awful in its intensity. ““eip!” she cried. “Oh, save me! "Robert Lane could never listen with deaf ears to the weak’s appeal. To him, womanhood and childhood were the most sacred things on earth. Forever “he would have despised himself as a ‘coward had he hesitated at a time like this. ‘And so it was that almost before the bystanders .had realized what was transplring, he had leaped directly in the path of the team and had elutched the horses by the bits In a grasp of steel, ‘The maddened animals dragged him roughly over the hard pavement 1u thelr headlong filght. His legs wer: bruised and mangled by their hoofs; his bead was battered by the bugwy toungue. But he did not relax his grip. He had spent all his life with horses; to handle them—to master them, was @ second nature with him. He exerted the whole of his giant strength upon the bits. ‘The muscles on his arms, from which the coat and shirt sleeves had been torn, stood out like hickory knots. Slowly’ but surely he drew the horses’ heads down, down, down, until their necks were all but broken. He pressed thefr muzzles be- neath their breasts and held them until they knew that they were conquered— until they stopped and groaned for merey. After that he had a faint recollection of being pulled from beneath the horses’ feet. Then he knew nothing more until he awoke in a hospital and saw a bright-eyed nurse with snovy cap and apron bending over him. He was covered with cuts and bruises. Every inch of his body seemed to ache and pain, But, looking into the bright eyes of the murse, he forgot all this. For, somehow, those eyes reminded him of the sweet-faced girl in the farmhouse in the Iowa hills. ‘The nurse smiled and smoothed the pillow under his head. “Youhave been delirious.” she said, softly, “but you are not seriously in- Jured.’ In a few days you will be quite recovered.” “I have’ been delirious?” he replied. “Yes, you have talked a great deal. ‘Mostly about Annie and the lowa river, and, let’s see—Marfetta. Is that the name?” “Yes," he laughed. “I live on the Iowa river near Marietta, and Annie— Annie has eyes like you.” “There,” she said, brushing his dark hair back from his temples, “you must be quiet now.” ‘Then she moved away, and he watch- ed her with dreamy eyes until she dis- appeared through the door. On the third day he had a visitor. He was an elderly man with eye-glasses attached to a gold chain, The nurse conducted him to Robert's cot, and he took the boy's brown, rough hand in both his soft, white ones. “Young man,” he said, in a manner intended to be matter of fact, but in a voice that trembled in spite of him- self, “young man, it fs needless for me to try to thank you for saying my danghter’s life. Nothing that I can say or do will sufficiently express my grat- tude. But I will say this: My wealth, my influence and my experience are at your command. Iam ready to further, to the best of my ability, your most cherished ambition. ‘Tell me, my son, what is your most ardent desire?” From the kind face of the grateful father, Robert shifted his glance to the bright eyes of the smiling nurse. A wistful look came into his face and his lips trembled. ‘Then again he looked into the eyes of the aged man. “My greatest desire,” he said. “Oh, sir, T wanto hear the wind whisperin’ in the corn; I want to see the starlight fallin’ in the river, and I want to 100k at Annie and to hold Annie's hand.” FIRST DINING CAR MADE. It Was Called the “Delmonico” and ‘Was Crudely Equipped. Leslie's Weekly: ‘The first dining car was called the Delmonico, of ‘course. Tt must have resembled ‘our present beautiful dining cars but slight- ly. Built by the Pullman company at its pioneer works in Chicago, It was pitt Into service In 1865, and afver a short hut distinguished career descended to the position of boarding ear for con- structors along the line, but it did not come to this, of course, until great. im- provements ‘had ben made upon it in Subsequent models, Tt was built in two sections, with a kitchen in the midile, One end was reserved for ladies, and here no Smoking was allowed, the other end was a buffet arrangement, and got Tisett nicknamed “the beer garden” De- fore it had been in service many moons. The floor of the car was uncarpeted, and the seats were ordinary low-backed coach seats, nphoistered in leather, ‘The ear was finished in walnut, but the ‘celling was covered with olleloth. ‘The ‘provision supply storeroom and refrig- ‘erator were under the center of the ‘ear, and access could be had to them only by means of a little brass ladder suspended from the side of the car. Tt was rather a precarious adventure for the dining car employes to make a visit to the larder while the train was in motion, inasmuch as there were a great many covered bridges and other obstructions along the line in those Gays which would undoubtedly have swept them into eternity had they not timed their trips down the little bruss ladder strictly acording to schedule. ‘The kitchen was supplied with an ordi- nary soft coal range. Still, in spite of all these peculiar disadvantages, the bill of fare for that time was consider- ed most elaborate. ‘The most interesting thing, however, about the Delmonico was the way in which the employes kept tab on re- ceipts, When a passenger entered the car the conductor handed the waiter who was to take care of him, a smail pasteboard tieket, which the waiter straightway deposited in a padlocked tin box in the kitchen, At the terminal station the ticket agent came into the ar, unlocked the tin box, and with dive ceremony “counted up the house.” ‘The conductor and other employes, while not being required to give an exact ac- count, were expected to make an ap- proximate check in accordance with the number of passengers served. Talk about your graft! Are there any opportunities like that nowadays? Sending Money in the Mail. ‘The person who would have fun with Unele Sam’s mails is not a rare bird, but the fellow who has sufficient con- fidence in the national government to entrust mgney in the postoffice with outa lot of safeguards is infrequent. ‘This latter individual has been met with by the Nashville postal clerks twice within 48 hours. Fist came a $1 Dill, bare and bleak, in all its pristine glory, sans wrapper. envelope or any- thing’ to hide its nakedness, the only thing to denote its destination being a label pasted on its back on which was written the name of its consignee, but nothing to indicate the consignor. The man who received it in due course of mail delivery is keeping it as proof positive that postal clerks, in this sec- tion at least, are incorruptible. The second aberration was in the shape of a roll of greenbacks deposited in a railway postal car at Bowling Green. Ky., without envelope or wrap- ner of any sort. A bit of frazzled twine was fastened about the “wad” (it wasn’t @ hefty one, containing only $15), and to this was tied a tag bearing the address of a local firm.

An Institution Which America Will Have Some Day Boston Herald: One of the great in- ‘stitutléis of the British government is the postoffice savings bank, in which one person in every tive of the entire population of the United Kingdom Is a depositor. As five persons are general ly allowed to the family, this would mean that every household in the Unit- ed Kingom could be represented by the number of accounts opened with this government savings bank. A recent issue of the London Daily Mail gives a complete account of the methods and niles of this bank, which is one of the ‘most successiul undertakings that the British government has ever tried. The bank receives deposits as small as a single shilling, but it only pays interest on completed pounds, and the interest rate Is 2% per cent per annum, prac- tically a half-penny per pound per month. No single depositor can pay in more than £50 i a year and no ac- count can exceed £200. This maxi- mum figureis, however, not often reach~ ‘ed, for 90 per cent of the accounts are for sums less than £50, the average ac- count being a trifle over £16. There fare 8,500,000 depositors and the total of the deposits is £149,000,000, or, rough-- ly speaking, $715,000,000, a sum about equal to the savings bank deposits in the state of Massachusetts and Con- necticut combined. ‘The great attractiveness of the post- office savings bank is Its security. In- yestors cannot be attracted by the low rate of interest, for private savings banks could certainly offer better in- aucements than does the government from the income point of view; but the government bank fs convenient, and, as Sir Michael Hieks-Beach said, it is “as safe as anything in this world can be.” Alltold, there are almost 14 000 branches of the bank in the entire kingdom, there being practically one in every town and village, and in each of these branches a depositor may pay in or draw out money. According to the Mail's story, the record deposit for a Single day was £48,115, entered by 124.- 469 persons, and the largest withdrawal in a single day was £221,149, taken up by 44.805 persons. It will be seen that the withdrawals average larger for a person than the deposits, and this ts found to he the general rule with the depositors. They put their money in little by little, and when it comes to drawing it out, larger sums are called for. ‘The bank also has another feature that helps people in poor circumstances to save. We are always told how the French peasants are encouraged to in- vest their money, even if it is only a small amount, in government securi- ties, but through the postoffice bank a man in England may purchase a shill- ing’s worth of consols. On the request of a depositor «aie bank will buy any quantity at the market price, from a shilling’s worth to the amount that an individual may have on deposit. Fur- ther than that, it will allow a purchaser to hold consois to the value of £500 through its office. ‘The daily purchases of consols for the bank runs from £7,- 000 to £10,000, and its sales are some- thing less, for the amount to the eredit of the depositors quite constant ly inereases. By having £500 worth of consols held by the hank and also the full legal limit of £200 on deposit, one person can haye the bank handle for him £700, and as each individual in a family could transact an equal amount of business, a family of five could have over $17,000 in one way or the other in the control of the postoffice bank. It is a great institution, ably managed, and as we have sald, it attracts depositors not because it is'a highly profitable in- vestment, but because it is a conven- fent_and perfectly safe bank for the funds of those who, having little, can Hil afford to lose even a penny by poor Feet ake PLEASURE IN BIBLE DEADING. Mind and Body Profits By A Com- plete Change of Feeding. Kansas City Journal: No person who has not tried the experiment ean have an adequate idea of the pleasure that may be got from turning abruptly from current literature to the Bible. This is not necessarily or entirely be- cause of the superiority of the latter over the former. The case would be the same if we were daily producing books the Bible's equal in merit. The mind as well as the body enjoys and profits by the sensation of a complete change. There is, we think, no evidence that a life by the sea or in the mountains fs more conducive to health or longevity than a life on the prairies, But every one is aware of the benefits to be got from temporarily changing from one to the other. It raises the tide of life, stim- lates every faculty and increases the capacity for enjoying and appreciating the most pleasures. A complete change of reading or of thought has a similar sftect on the intellect, Frequent excur- sions into Dickens, Thackeray, Brown- ing, Shakespeare, and especially the Bible, besides the direct pleasure, by stimulating the faculties, developing a taste which is capable of discriminat- ing the good from the bad in current literature, and producing an enlarged capacity for enjoying the former. If the reader, whether young or mid- le aged or old, Jew, Christian or ag- nostic. has not looked Into his Bible for a jong time—and there are unmis- takable indications that this is the case with a great many folks whose know!- edge of otherd kinds of literature is by no means contemptible—let him pick it up today, and spend a little time on pevusal of the account of the crea- tion, or the story of Job, or the poetry of Isaiah, or the sermon‘on the mount, or Paul’s speech before Agrippa, or the opistle of St. James. Or, better still, let him resolve to read it through within the next year. He may accomplish the latter feat by_ reading three chapters a day. It is perhaps, best that he should approach it with a spirit of plety. But, whether his attitude is one of rever- ence, of revived interest or of mere cn- riosity, he can hardly fail to get bene- fit and pleasure from the experiment, If he knew the book in-his youth, he will be astonished at the difference between the light in which it appeared to him then and now. and at the extent to which it has affected all the literature with which he has since become famil- iar and will wonder why he did not re- turn to it sooner. If he has never read it attentively he will be filled with aston- ishment and regret that he neglected for so many years to perform so agree- able and profitablea dbty, How He Restrained Applause.

I had become very fond of her in the course of the three years in the under classes. Partly on that account and partly because I was young aud foolish, I proposed to her. It occurred in their tumble-down, home-like old house down near the canal. We were sitting together in the ‘best room,’ with its hair-cloth furniture and a marble- topped table in the middle of the floor. I'm afraid T have to admit that the girl said yes. We were very happy for a minute or so, when the poor girl began to cry. ‘What in the world fs the mat- ter?’ asked. But the girl just kept on crying. ‘Please tell me what's the mat- ter.’ By this time I was beside myself. I hadn't an idea what had frightened the girl so badly.

At a country house last summer I saw quite a unique friendship, writes a correspondent. The cat of the house, a magnificent Persian Tom, goes, when thirsty, to a large glass bowl in the drawing room, wherein a gold disfisht itself, and there seems to have an interesting tete-atee with its funny friend—drinking the other's health. I suppose. The lady of the house told me that a week or two previous to my visit the cat had been unwell and could not be induced to leave its quarters in the kitchen. It was noticed that the fish also seemed sickly and refused to nibble the crumbs and seedlings thrown to it, but not for a moment did any one dream of associating its indisposition with the absence of the cat. When, however, master Tom appeared on the scene again with quite an elastic step, the fish became itself once more and is now as frisky as ever.—London Chronicle.

A peculiar case of poisoning by a physician was that of Dr. Stephen Eovos in Hungary many years ago. Eotvus undertook to hasten the death of patients whose cases he considered hopeless by putting them out of their misery, as he termed it, with fatal drugs. He encountered no opposition to his peculiar methods of benevolence while he practiced them on people of no particular standing, but when the doctor hastened the death of a well known land proprietor named Szavy, who was slowly dying of cancer, the relatives of the dead man presented a violent protest and demanded the prosecution of Eotvus. The physician declared on trial he was actuated by humane motives and had merely eased the journey of his victims to the inevitable goal. This defense was not accepted by the court. Eotvus was acquitted of malice, but found guilty of homicide without malice and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. Justice Shiras has a collar button story which he tells with a great deal of gusto, says the Chicago Record-Herald. A man in Pittsburgh, where he used to live, had a wife who was complaining of dyspepsia, and she heard of a certain remedy that was put up in capsules. Her husband bought a dozen at a drug store, and brought them home in a pill box. At the same time he bought a dozen collar buttons, made of a metallic composition that looked very much like pearl, and the drugstiff gave him a pill box similar to that in which the capsules were put up to carry them in. He took both boxes home, handed them to his wife, and the same day she began to take the medicine. After she had taken twelve doses she was entirely cured, and advertised the wonderful remedy all over the neighborhood. About this time her husband lost his collar button, and, opening his pill box, found it empty. A brief investigation showed that the capsules in the other pill box were still there, and that his wife had swallowed twelve composition collar buttons, two a day for six days, and been entirely cured of dyspepsia.

St. Louis Republic: Vicenti Rosallo, 16 years old, a native of the Philippine islands, has been formally admitted to the Dozier School upon the basis of American citizenship. Doctor J. W. Williamson of No. 5600 Cates avenue, who is educating the young Filipino, w informed to this effect by the committee of instruction of the board of education yesterday. The committee consulted its attorney R. E. Bromauer, who decided that the youth is a citizen of the United States and entitled to the advantages of a free education. He is not a negro, and is, therefore, at liberty to enter a school where white children are educated. Rosallo has begun his studies at the Dozier school. The boy came to St. Louis about the age ago and went on a direction of Doctor J. W. Williamson has made rapid progress in reading and writing. He is remarkably bright and is greatly interested in his books. Doctor Lleuclyn Williamson was with the United States army in the Philippines and was in charge of the hospital at Colamba, about forty miles from Manila, where he met Rosello. His parents are dead, and the boy manifested a desire to come to the United States. When Doctor Williamson was detailed for duty at Jefferson Barracks he left Rosello with his father, who has taken a great fancy to the boy and has practically made him one of the family. When Rosello went to Doctor Williamson's home he could not understand a word of English. Now little sensitivity is experienced in making him comprehend exactly what is said to him. "I like United States very good," he says, "and I much want to learn the English." Tuesday Doctor Williamson took the boy to the Dozler school and had him enrolled. The question of color was raised, and the matter was referred to Superintendent F. Louis Soldan, who had the board's committee pass upon Rosallo in many ways resembles a Japanese, and at first glance would be taken for one. He has the peculiar oval eyes of that people, and the swarthy skin. He is quick and intelligent, and eager to learn American ways and culture. Rosallo's parents died in an epidemic of cholera, but the only relatives he has are distant cousins. Doctor Williamson says he does not intend to thoroughly. He comes of the Tagal tribe, and his family were all of the better class of natives. None of his relatives tok part in the insurrection. Rosallo said. United States very good and went to stay here and not return to my country." Doctor Williamson produced a book and the lad read several chapters comparatively easily. He has a slight accent. He was asked several questions in which some unusual words were used. He did notitate an instant replaying, but after searching his memory for the meaning of the words he would answer intelligently. He has a strong hatred of the negro, and Doctor Williams is doubtful if he could have persuaded him to enter a negro school. Recently he accompanied Doctor Williams in the street car was accosted by a negro. The boy looked at him a second and then turned away. "I am a Tagalog," he said proudly, "and my parents were big people, and not insurgents. We like the United States people and don't fight them, and when he saw me, he said, "The boy, but will educate him the army and learn to fight for this country." ANIMALS' NERVOUS CRISES Are Affected in Same Manner as Human Beings. La Nature: A veterinary surgeon, M. Lepinay, has just called the attention of the Society of Hypnotism and Psychology to the importance of the mental pathology of animals that are nervous as among us by different causes. A dog, whose history M. Lepinay gives, was put out to board at the commencement to the holidays each year, and upon his return to his home great care was necessary that the dog and its mistress did not come immediately in contact, for if they did a nervous crisis occurred which lasted several months. Here is a case of nervous trouble provoked by fear. A boy, by D.H. Heck, was being one of his canary birds. The bird was singing happily in its cage, when a cat suddenly entered the room, threw itself upon the cage and knocked it to the floor. The doctor put the cat to flight before the bird was wounded or even touched, but the shock had been such that the canary lay without movement or voice on the bottom of the cage, and only after sprinkling it with cold water was life restored. It then became alive, and in a moment or two commenced to hop and jump as before. It had, however, become suddenly mute. This condition aphone him for six weeks, and then as suddenly as he had lost it the bird regained his voice and again exercised his full musical powers. A traumatic shock can also produce hysteria. Very often a dog which is the victim of an accident becomes lame without there being any symptom to explain the manifestations, and after killing the animal the autopsy has disclosed no lesion sufficiently serious to produce the malady. Do Hygee sents another case having a lesion more than two months of age, was bitten by a dog. The cat sank down at once, if paralyzed, and from this time moved only by dragging its hind quarters, the posterior third of the trunk and the hind legs being completely paralyzed, as well as the tail. Two months after the accident, a servant, wishing to see if paralyzed cats, similarly to well cats, always fall from the first story window. The cat fell on its feet and scampered away on all fours. The blow of the new emotion and completely cured its paralysis. Lightning striking a stable has often produced insignificant burns and wounds, followed by excesses of grave hysteria, most frequently a paralysis or a contraction. These accidents have been especially studied by M. Huet, and in his account one observes undeniable nervous troubles. M. Arueh, of the veterinary school of Milan, has related several cases, the subjects being dogs which manifested very accentuated nervous troubles under the impression of fright, rebuke or jealousy. The fire department at Larchmont, New York's swell suburb, had its annual turnout a few days ago, most of its millionaire members being present in uniform, mental lot, either.

TRY TO BEAT PARIS. MISS ELIZABETH WHITES America and not France will be the e home of fashion in the near future according to Miss Elizabeth White, the energetic president of the National Dressmakers' Convention. It is expected that the new national association will wonders in raising the standard of the American modiste. New York Fashion Notes New York letter: One of the principla subjects of discussion at the American Dressmakers' association, which closed its session here a few days ago, was that of corsts; therefore, the perfect form will be the objective toward which the energie of American modistes will be directed during the coming season. And indeed physical culture has done so much toward the attainment of this aim that the difficulty will be appreciably lessened. What the physical culture fails to do, however, it is intended that the corst shall make up. The late eagar from corstetland is a delightful vulture which is cultivated to keep up the diaphram, without restricting it, force the stomach in and increase the back hips. The result of such a corst is not only a perfect fit, but an exceedingly chic exterior effect and as one of the members of the association put it, you are as happy on the inside as on the outside. Apropos the gowns which are to adorn these perfect figures, it may be said that many will be developed in velvet. But the regulation silk velvet will be replaced during the fall and winter by the richer and more pliable Briar. Popular incisions toward the lustrous fabrics and even cloths which are listed among the hard materials are most highly finished. There are rough-surfaced materials, of course, but these are more for general use and even they are stitched plentifully with bands of smooth goods. The seams and pannes distinguished as less affected effects are smart and extremely pretty. The colorings, too, are rich though it is seldom that more than two tones are seen in one gown and the trimmings correspond with the figures scattered over the usually lighter shade background. For instance, a frock of ecu tan with a slightly reddish tint is spotted with autumn leaf brown figures. It is also a good plait at back and there are inverted plaits at each side of the front. The vest of the jacket is composed of exquisite cream lace striped with pane and the packet bears inverted plaits at both the front and back. The popular postillion effect is shown in the sleeve, which is held above the wrist by two large military buttons. Completing the costume is a flat spreading picture hat of ercue panne velvet with a crown of autumn leaves finished at the back with a rosette of liberty assays. To increase the cost of such a gown it makes impossible for the woman whose dress allowance is limited to a few dollars for an entire season's supply, but there are much less expensive fabrics duplicating the same effect which may be made up very artistically if one has the patience to execute the various little details shown in the original design. After all there is not so much elaboration upon the new season's gown as there is detail. It is the small things that count: time as well as cost, but they really constitute the success of a gown and must be added if one would strictly a la moque. Present indications lead to the belief that this autumn will be an exceptionally mild one and for that reason it will be late before wraps are denoted. However many smart little jackets will be worn and brown, black, dull green, purple-blue and red will be made. One delightful linen jacket-carryed out of Mariburgh leather, a soft dark tone affected by our American Duchess during her recent visit here—boasts a very full blouse which opens over a vest hand-painted lace. Black silk frogs are on either side of the vest on the material and form a drapery of silk cords across the front. Painted lace is one of the extravagances of the season, but it will be worn more than it is generally imagined because there are so many women of art- talent who can design these patterns for themselves with little expense. Embroidered laces are also de rigueur, but only the expensive varieties are treated to this form of decoration. Women who feel that they cannot ford the luxurious velvet gown may be consolled by using the fabric and trimming. A pretty way in which it may be used is shown in a rich petunia cloth, the skirt being trimmed just below the In the Canaries the banana is never cut with a knife, because of the fruit when cut through exhibits what is regarded as a representation of the crucifixion.

At the front the tucks are very narrow, but graduate wider behind, while on the hips is a simulated rounded basque of the same trimming. The bodice is pouched over a narrow waist-band and has a small rolled collar and cuffs of the velvet. The greatest variety is shown in sleeves, but the voluminous effect below hte elbow is apparent in all. This effect, however, is invariably graceful. Tucks, appliques and various little deceptions employed to dispose of any fullness are all placed at the top of the sleeve and between the elbow and the waist there is simply a substantial exposition of the dress material which envelopes an undercut of some diaphanous fabric. The short-necked sisterhood will rejoice in the fact that collares are all lower than worn for the past few years and are finished off with narrow lace, for such a garniture lends to the toilette a dairy airy. After all there is not real beauty in three story and basement collar as in the dress, and described one of the summer chokers. It certainly robs the neck of grace and gives one a strained, uneasy appearance. Glace taffetta will shape popular favor with velvet until late in the season. It is almost always lace trimmed and generally made into a smart box-plaited coat it is cut with fronts and backs only in shaded and dotted means of under-arm and shoulder seams. The spirit is laid in turtles or it may be plaited all around the figure, Under the coat a fancy waist is worn and the coat is finished with a deep cream collar of renissance or duchesse braid. The fashionable hat of autumn will not be worn far from the face, yet it will withstand the exertion. The forehead will be covered in the same way be accomplished from the sides, showing amou Gloves for street wear will be short and protection for the wrists will be provided for in the long sleeves. At the most the fashionable glove will not show more than two buttons, and many have only one. Colored kids are favorable for the street wear, but for dressier occasions Dame Fashion demands the suede. English red, goblin blue, green, russet and Damon are the popular shades. The daintiest cravat of the moment is the shape abse or avocat, but this collar is often always carried out in white. Of far bigger price are the foulard scarps, for these come in fashionable colorings and are so pliable that they may be arranged into any of the prevailing modes. There is no taste, scarcely, that has not been appealed to in the design of autumn modes and though the same consideration has not been shown for the purse, there are enough fashions for all to be effectively gowned. A Few Marketing Rules. There are a few rules to remember in buying beef, mutton or poultry which the inexperienced housekeeper does well to bear in mind. To test beef, press it down with the thumb. If it rises the meat is good and if should be firm, grained, of a bright red color, with streaks of clean, white-looking fat. The meat will be tough unless there is plenty of fat. Mutton should be dark-colored, with the fat a clear white. Veal should be fat. Soup meat should have as little fat as possible and come from the round; an meat intended for beef tea. In buying fish, the gills should be red. Poultry should have smooth legs and short spurs with the feet bending easily and the eyes bright. If the fowl has begun to turn blue it is not good. Birds will be ill-bred if the flesh; theinated pigment, however, has dark flesh. Birds with white meat take about ten minutes longer to cook than those with dark meat.—Ex. Electricity may be the motive power of the future, but the fact remains that in the census year 1900 the output of steam locomotives was more than 3,000, valued at more than $30,000,000—Boston Globe. Customer—Have you anything that is good for falling hair? Facetious Clerk—How would a waste basket do? Tammas walked home with the minister after service, and the latter complained of exhaustion. "Tired out, eh?" said Tammas. "Yes," sighed the reverend, "completely done up, mentally and physically. I actually strained my back getting up this morning's sermon." "Oh," said Tammas, musingly, "you must be very near the bottom of the STRANGE GRAVEYARD LIGHTS. Will-o'-the-Wisp Badly Frightens Watchers in a Cemetery. Lewiston (Pa.) Correspondence in Philadelphia Leidger: This community is wrought up to a high pitch of excitement by strange lights which flit nightly between the old and new Episcopal cemeteries. Superstitious persons believe them to be warnings of some impending calamity. There are residents who declare that similar lights were seen just prior to the flood of 1890 and the smallpox epidemic of 1894. On Wednesday night Mrs. Shoemaker an aged resident, was returning to her home after spending the evening with a neighbor, when, nearing a vault in the old cemetery, she was startled at seeing a brilliant red light leave the street and she across the street directly in front of her. She was the new cemetery. Badly frightened, she made rapid strides for home, but had taken only a few steps when she again saw the same light some distance away on a hill. This time, it waved up and down in much the same manner as trainmen give signals. Then it marched. Before she was half way home Mrs. Shoemaker entered into the gutter. When regaining her feet and senses she saw the same light apparently hanging in the middle of the street, only a few feet from her. Almost frantic she ran screaming to the house of a neighbor, where she was sitting thinking she was the victim of mischievous boys' pranks, her friends paid little attention to the matter. Thursday morning the story of the lights flew like wildfire, and before noon several hundred persons had visited the scene. That night three or four prominent residents stationed themselves near the cemeteries to watch for the lights, but were so badly frightened by a repetition of the scenes they saw, that the forger what they had assembled for. The following night and last night the same anties were witnessed by hundreds of persons, who had gathered from all parts of the town, but before any attempt could be made to capture the lights would vanish, and their source remains a mystery. Although no gases or phosphoric minerals are known to exist in this locality, Ex-Sherif William Ryan and his team say they have seen these lights at night time, and that all former efforts to gain a clew to their origin had proved fule. END OF PRINTERS' STRIKE. Was Won by Compositor Who Stole Supply of Lower Case E's. New Orleans Times - Democrat: "Speaking of printers," an old typo, "reminds me of a printers' strike which was inaugurated in a small town out West a number of years ago when that section of the world was much wilder than it is now. Cruder methods were then used in the printing business, and yet some of us older fellows were more interested in the part of our careers. Of course, we struck hard lines, just as we strike them now. But somehow there was something about the grouping which made the printer's misfortunes easier to bear than they are now. Getting back to the strike, the printers had asked for a small increase, and had insisted on it with the usual persistence and vigor. The owner of the paper said his income would not justify it in grouping. The owner of the paper said he did not intend to allow a gang of printers to run his business. That was a firebrand. There was nothing to do but walk out. He said he could get along all right, and really we were inclined to run his business. That was a mischievous fellow in the crowd who said he would fix the thing so the man could not get out his paper. The town was small, and was many times from a distance. He could not find a kind could be him. The first intimation we had that anything intimation was when the paper missed an issue. We did not understand why it was. But the aforesaid mischievous man did. Sure enough, he had fixed the thing. He had slipped around in the shop before we left, but without our knowledge, and had stolen all the lower case e's. It is impossible to get out a newspaper without e's. He had written her letter in the alphabet. The prophet could not turn a wheel. He finally threw up his hands in despair, and said if the men would come back and bring the missing e's he would grant their demand. It was some time before we located the guilty man. He finally came to the front, and said if we would all go back he would furnish the necessary number of lower case e's to get out the paper. We went back after being last day and the mischievous man kept his promise by lugging a peek of e's back into the shop. That was the last trouble with the owner of the paper, and after it was all over he looked upon the larceny of his supply of e's as a good joke." SIREN OF THE CROSSING. This Vermonter Has Been Cured of Desire for Investigation. Washington Post: Up in a Vermont town not very far this side of Montpelier is a town school supervisor who never will again stop to investigate buzzy music at a railway crossing. This man who, figuratively speaking, ran up against the music of the railway it was loaded, lives a few miles away from what is known as the Finley Bridge crossing of the Central Vermont railroad. There is a big cliff that juts out at this point close to the main branch of the White river, and the track cuts a sharp curve around which the whistle can be heard on the other side of the big rock promontory by people on the highway. The school supervisor was taking a load of bark to the village four miles away. Strarred by a series of accidents, the railway officials, unknown to the supervisor, had installed an electric signal bell that rings when trains get within a certain range of a highway crossigl. The supervisor heard the ringing of the gong, but he never heard anything like it before, and he marveled both its source and its object continued on until he was directly upon the track, when an idea found lodgment in his head. With wagon full athwart the track he stopped his team, wound the reins around the whipstock, and, jumping down to the ground, 'lowed as how he would see what the pesky thing was, and walked over to the post. A moment later he learned, but not through looking at the post. A fast freight swept around the curve and smashed the wave into fragments,打破ing one of the horses, and started the other on a wild road. The gentleman with the investigating turn of mind recently has been re-elected as the head of the educational department of the town, and today will hold that office. He has deserted his team for the ailing siren of the crossing. American Citizen Publishing and Printing Co. VERY WEEK AT 417 MINNESOTA AVE KANSAS CITY, KANSAS.

Undesirable consulships have long given rise to humorous Incidents. But Zanzibar, to which the President has appointed Mason Mitchell, a rough rider, seems to be in the lead in unattractiveness, if the length of consular terms proves any test, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Indiana has usually claimed the honor of furnishing candidates for this place, but after the resignation of a man named Rogers of Shoales, the Indiana senators notified the President that they were through with it. They had constituent who were willing to take chances, but the senators were not prepared to promise that these turesome individuals would stay more than a month. Before Rogers took the place it was held for nearly a year by "Bob" Manssley, at one time private secretary to Senator Beveridge and now consul at Valparaiso. Manssley came back, according to Indiana descriptions, "as thin as a toothpick. He had he stuck it out as long as the insurance company would let him and that he returned to save his premiums. Before Manssley, there was an Indianian named Billheimer, described as a husky Hoosier, with a large nose and frame pickled in malaria. He was cured of diplomatic ambition in about two months, and has never asked for a place since Before Billheimer, Judge Riley of Virginia served; he remained as long as his aversion to the negroes would permit. Finally, he is said to have taken a gun and emptied a load of fine birdshot into the dusky natives who persisted in taking a daily bath in front of the American consulate which, the Judge "allowed," was an indignity to be resented by this government's representative. HE' LIKES FRIED POTATOES. Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dish, So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and during his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few day from a woman in the street and to cat them beside her stall. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who he was. "I can tell you who he is," said a neighbor one day. "He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russia." Utterly amazed, the woman asked: "In heaven's name, how should I address him?" "Oh, call him 'Your Excellency,' or 'Your Royal Highness,' was the answer. The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she said: "I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellency has never tasted better potatoes." The grand duke burst out laughing, and paid more for the potatoes than he had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potato. Girard Was Considerate One of the sea captains in the employ of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee's fondness for whittling with his jackknife, and on one trip succeeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistry sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard went aboard, made a general inspection in the captain's absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had been cutting the rail. The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his telling might have unpleasant consequences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. The captain was in terror of a reprimand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the incident closed. As he was about weighing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver halled the vessel. "There must be some mistake! shouted the captain, "Our bill of lading doesn't mentip shingles!" "This is where they belong!" sung back the driver, "Mr. Girard, himself, told me to deliver them! He said they're for the captain to whittle!" Gillette a Real Sherlock Holmes. William Gillette, whose impersonation of Sherlock Holmes has become so famous, has acquired much of theunning of the character he portrays, and on being interviewed by the newspaper reporters extracts from them all they know without himself imparting any information. On his return from Europe the other day all the Boston scribes sought to learn of his future plans, but were obliged to abandon the effort. "Have animals reason?" was one of the questions raised by Lord Avelbury in an interesting address given recently at the London institution, and certainly it seems hard to deny the intelligent poole, Dan, with whom Lord Avelbury experimented, some glimmerings of the faculty which is said to separate men from brutes. Dan was able after a time to distinguish between the number of cards inscribed with such suggestive words as "Food," "Tea," "Water" and when he required anything to bring the right card. Lord Aveybury thought it was hardly possible to study closely communities of ants without allowing that they are possessed of reasoning powers in some degree and even of moral feeling. On the other hand, says the London Chronicle, the processional caterpillar appears to be an insect of a very low order of intelligence. Processional caterpillars when out for an expedition weave a thread, by means of which they find their way back, and a small party was lured by an ingenious scientist up a flowerpot and round the top. He then cleared away the ascending thread and for eight days did those caterpillars walk round and round the top of the flowerpot, following the circular thread which remained, until they dropped off from fatigue and exhaustion. A characteristic story is told of Abe Reed, the well-known New York lawyer. When he was a boy looking for something to do he saw the sign, "Boy Wanted," hanging outside a store in New York. He picked up the sign and entered the store. The proprietor met him. "What did you bring that sign in here for?" asked one storekeeper. "You won't need it any more," said Reed, cheerfully. "I'm going to take the job." Curious Resemblance. A curious resemblance exists between ex-Speaker Reed and Pat Sheedy, the noted gambler—especially odd from the fact that, though the big lawyer is often mistaken for the sporting man, the latter is very seldom honored by the reverse error. Mr. Reed sometimes has considerable difficulty in making it clear that he knows naught of horse racing, card games and other sinful amusements. GREAT OFFER loved People of the World.

Astonomer Couldn't Get Line on Young Man and His Best Girl "In science," said the young man, "I have heard you say that the same law, when applied to the motions of all individualized aggregations of atoms, applies with equal persistency, and that, so long as we know what this law is, we can work out any problem to its ultimate conclusion, provided the conditions be such as to determine the nature of the problem." "Precisely." "We have, then, two bodies of polarized, aggregated animalcule (one of the first degree of density in Marshall's law, and the other of the second), alternately attracted and repulsed by the vibratory motion of Kepler's fourth equation. Moving together through space at the rate of seventeen miles per second, they are retarded by a fractional atmospheric pressure of one ohm to a specific gravity of 3,000 a year respectively. The varying degrees of density being duly considered, at the end of thirteen years and six months, what will be their respective relations?" "Where are these bodies at present located in regard to the sun?" "They are in the shade." The kindly old astronomer laid his hand on the other's arm. "My son," he said, nothing is easier in mathematics, once having the point of departure, the rate of speed and the relative degrees of density, to arrive at the location of two moving spatial objects, but I confess I am utterly powerless to get a line on you and your best girl."—New York Life. HAVE ANIMALS REASON? Experiments with a Poodle—He Was Taught to Read. He took the Job. Curious Resemblance Songs of Poets In Joyous Mood Immortal Minds Have Recognized the Significance of the Day. The solemn festival in honor of the resurrection has given inspiration to many poets to whom the joyfulness of the occasion, the coming of the light after darkness, of flowers springing from dead earth, of the raising up of buried hope into gladness, and of the perfection of virtue issuing out of sin—has appealed powerfully by one form of imagery if not by another. That greatest of latter-day poets, Robert Browning, in "Easter Day" writes of the amazement that will come to doubters: From repose We shall start up, at last awake. From life, that insane dream we take. For waking now, because it seems. Where is the Christian to whose sympathy those lines will not appeal in conjunction with others following them: With darkness, hunger, toil, distress, Be all the world a wilderness! Only let me go on, go on, Still hoping ever and anon To reach one end, the Better Land. Christina Rossetti, who has justly been called the poetess of death, never seemed to hymn her joys without enhancing their value by a recollection of past sorrow, yet her poem, "Resurrection Eve," is begun by the sentiment— He resteth, weep not. And she would have us note how the Gray hours of morning, ere the day's dawning, are Brightened by gleams Of the sunbeams— By the foreseeing Of resurrection, Of glorious being, Of full perfection, Of sins forgiven Before the face Of them and spirits, Of God in heaven, The resting place That he inherits, James Russell Lowell concludes with the following verse, a poem which he entitled "Godminster Chimes," and wrote in aid of a chime of bells for Christ Church, Cambridge: Oh, chime of sweet Saint Charity, Peal soon that Easter morn. When Christ for all shall risen be, And in all hearts new-born! That he will utterance clear To all men shall be given When all shall say "My Brother" here, And hear "My Son" in heaven! Sir Lewis Morris adds a modern voice to the strain of Easter melody by the musical lines: That is the day of life, Joy bought by sacrifice, Pleasure for hopeless sights, And rest for strife, The earth is no more, as it was at first, By some strange spell accursur: As a mystery, as a wonder, A humble hope has bid new heaven and A boundless hope has bid new heaven and earth to be— The joy which stirs the world let it wake thee; A symbol of the thy risen life is born. Awake, arise! this is the very morn; A mystery has been a mystery! If Wadsworth, that poet so dearly beloved by countless hearts, has failed to record in any special poem his feelings about the festival of Easter, there are lines in the "Excursion" concluding the fifth book of that work which can scarcely be excelled as thoughts with which to encourage meditation upon the mystern of the Resurrection: Life, I repeat, is energy of love Divine or human; exercised in pain, In strife and tribulation, and ordained, Is so approved and sanctified to pass Through shades and silent rest to endless BICYCLES BELOW COST. 5000 high grade guaranteed 1802 MODELS the overstock of one of the best known of the country secured by us at one-nail cost.
