A few Democratic representatives
may be in favor of paying war-claims,
but meanwhile the Democracy Of the
South will put its foot firmly down
upon any such extravaganza. When
the party gets into power a sign will
be hung before the treasury door {:
"Noswar claims paid here" Nothing
else will appease the stalwarts, and
nothing less will please the Democ-
racy better.-4tlanta (Ga.) Conttitss-

1t is difficult to say what constitutes
the beauty of q woman. The Sand
witch Islanders estimate women by
their height. TIE Chinese require
them to have deformed feet and black
teeth. A girl must be tattooed sky
blue and wear a nose ring to satisfy
a South Sea Islanders taste. African
princes require their brides to have
their teeth filed like those of a saw.
And thus goes the world, the criterion
of beauty differing according tojsh"
latitude and longitude.

LOVED. At LAST.

And 50 he loves me, though they said
No lover e'er would come to me,
That should ne'er be wooed or wed,
Or nurse a child upon my knee;
They were so sure that should miss
The wwspan's heritage of bliss
And 1, too, in the fad gray hours,
When through low clouds no sunlight
shone,
And then the slow September showers
Seemed natures tears for summer gone,
1 murmured with long, sad sigh, -
"My summer also has gone by"
But now know that what to me
Seemed autumn rains were showers of
spring,
Summer has come and now l see
Loves sunlight brighten everything;
He says he loves me, and to-day
MY year rolls back to early May.
How did it come ask of him;
He says my face is sweet and fair,
And yet t. me these eyes seem dim,
And on this brow are lines of care;
But now these eyes shall yet be bright,
And once again this brow grow light.
He loves me loves me. 1 repeat
The blcst assurance every hour;
And now the wine Of life is sweet
That yesterday was sharp and sour.
Now / can drink with spirit bold,
Loves nectar from a cup of gold.
1 look through long, slow-coming years,
Made by his love all bright and fair;
l look around through happy tears,
And see his image everywhere;
In his great love / breath and live;
If it be sin, dear God forgive.
1t cannot be. Since l have known
His love, Gods love seems dcarer too;
He has come nearer to me and shown
What for the humblcst he can do.
J.if..'s fatcfnl fingers intcrtwine
The human love with the divine.
Oh love, love, love! Oh blessed word,
That never did | understand
Till in my ear his voice heard,
And felt the pressure of his hand;
No NOR. walk with eyes cast down;
am his queen, love is my crown.

Arthur Morton SAT III his TOO1il LII

opened, and an elderly gentleman
entered.

lazily rose from his seat and extended
his hand.
