With all his faults she still loved him.
He was her son, she was his mother.
Since that dreadful night when he al

he never knew an hours rest.
He wasted away by degrees; consump-

He had heard that the wounds he had
given Mary Norton were not Of serious
nature, and he thanked God for it, be.
cause as he began to be convinced that
he could not live much longer he became
a better man.
On the day that he died, he called his
mother to his bedside and told her Of hi
dark deed. .i,.r... ....,.
After he had finished, he expressed (

Taxation OF Banks.

John J. Knox, comptroller of the curren-
cy in presenting his annual tables giving, as
far as can be ascertainea, the amount of
taxes imposed upon the banking capital of
the country repeats his previous recommen-
dation for the repeal Of the law imposing a
tax upon capital and deposits, and the two
cent stamp checks. The amount collected
by the commissioner of internal revenue
during the whole fiscal year, with the ex-
ception Of $11 ,096, 4e4, is shown to have
been derived from the tax on spirits, beer
and tobacco. The comptroller says in this
connection:
Were the entire tax upon the banks and
bankers of the country, including the two
cent check tax, upon matches and patent
medicines, removed, the amount of revenue
received by the government from the tax on
spirits, beer and tobacco would alone be
sufficient to meet it's expenses and reduce
the debt at the rate Of hundreds of millions
annually. The principal reasons hereto
fore urged against the repeal of these taxes
has been that the amount produced was
necessary for the support Of the govern
ment, and this reason, it is stated, has
ceased to exist.

A WORD ABOUT WORDS.

Are we half aware of their mighty powers?
Do we ever trouble our heads at all
Where the jest may strike or the hint may

That spicy story, 'you must have heard"-
We jerk away in our gossip rash,
And somebody's glass, of course, goes smash,
What flames have been blasted and broken,
What pestilent sinks have been stirred
By word in lightness spoken,
BY only an idle word.
A sneer-a shrug-a whisper low,
They are poisoned shafts from an ambushed
bow,
Shot by the coward, the fool, the knave;
They pierce the mail of the great or brave.
Vain ia buckler of wisdom and pride
To turn the pitiless point aside;
The lips may curl with careless smile,
But the heart drips blood-drips blood the
while.
All me! what hearts have been broken,
What rivers of blood been stirred,
BY a word in malice spoken,
By only bitter word
A kindly word and tender tone
To only God is their virtue known!
They can lift from the dust the abject head,
They can turn foe to a friend instead:
The heart, close barred with passion and

The Story About f tie Kind Hearted Nebraska
From the Galveston (Texas) News
There were three or four old codgers seat
ed around the stove in back room of Gal
weston saloon, toasting their shins and spin
ming yarns. An old stage driver named
Smoot, with bald head and long yellow
beard, which probably owed it's peculiar col
or to his habit of chewing tobacco for the
last forty years, spoke up and said: "The
best, hearted man ever knew in my life
was Bob Huxley, who used to be sheriff up
in Nebraska in the early days. He was the
whitest man ever saw He was the easiest
man on prisoners that ever lived. When a
prisoners time was up he always refused to
go; he had had such nice time in Jail. By
thunder, in some cases the county attorney
had to get out writs for trespass, just as you
do in cases where tenant refuses to get out
Of a house, in order to get those
prisoners out Of Jail. Bob Huxley used to
feed the prisoners SO well, and treated them
SO gentlemanly, that men would just shoot
somebody for no other purpose then to get
in that Jail. I was in there myself for
week or so, waiting to be indicated on the
charge Of stealinga hog. Well, one day-it
was awful warm-we sent man who was in
for murder, across the street to saloon to
bring over a trayful Of drinks. We waited
for good while. and one of us hollered out
from the Jail window for the murderer to
bring over them drinks quick, as we were
suffering for them. But he didn't come
over worth cent. When Bob Huxley
came in we said to him: Mr.. Sheriff, that
murderer has lit out, but old Bob wouldn't
listen to it. He burst into tears, and said:
I know that poor boy hasn't left me- Some
body must have kidnapped him. Come,
boys, let's hunt him up And all the Jail
birds, counterfeiters, and the like, turned
out and hunted that whole town over
did they find the missing murderer"
eyes, We found him. It was just as Bob
said. He never ran away. He had been
kidnapped by vigilance committee and was
hanging to tree. We all came back to Jail
feeling very blue. After that we prisoners
quit strolling about town and going out
hunting, but Bob Hinkley made it so COM
Portable for us that we didn't care to stroll
He had a saloon fixed up for us in the Jail, for
fear he might loose some of us. It amt
often you find sheriff taking such good care
Of his prisoners"
The speaker, having finished, got up and
strolled out. One of the other old codgers
spoke up, and motioning to the retreating
form of the last speaker, said:
He amt at himself now, but when he
was a younger man, before he lost his men,
Dry, he could lie some, tell you. He is
losing his grip, powerful. If he don't do
better after awhile, people will call him
truthful Jeems.'"

ssWHAT my LOVER SAID"

By the merest chance, in the twilight gloom,
In the orchard path he met me
In the tall wet grass with it's faint perfume,
And I tried opass but he made no room
Oh! l tried but he would not let me-
So stood and blushed till the grass grewred,
With my face bent down above it,
While he took my hand, as he whispering said
How the clover lifted each pink sweet head
To listen to all that my lover said
Oh! the clover in DloOm-1 love it!
In the high wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low wet leaves hung over,
But could not pass on either side,
For found myself, when vainly tried,
In the arms of my steadfast lover,
And he held me there and he raised my head,
While he closed the path before me,
And he looked down into my eyes and said
How the leaves bent down from the boughs
o'erhead,
To listen to all that my lover said.
Oh! the leaves hanging lowly DER me.
Had he moved aside but little way
could surely then have passed him,
And he knew never could wish to stay,
And would not have heard what he had to say {;
Could only aside have cast him.
It was almost dark and the moments sped,
And the searching night wind found us;
But he drew me nearer and softly said
How the pure, sweet wind grew still instead
To listen to all that my lover said,
vi! Tue Whispering "4Au aIouAu us.
am sure he knew when he held me fast
That must be all unwilling;
For tried to go, and would have passed,
As the night was come with it's dews at last,
And the sky with it's stars was filling;
But he clasped me close when I would have
fed,
And he made me hear his story,
And his soul came out from his lips and
said
How the stars crept out when the white moon
led,
To listen to all that my lover said.
Oh! the moon and the stars in glory!
know that the grass and the leaves will not
tell,
And Im sure that the wind, precious rover,
Will carry his secret SO safely and well,
That no being shall ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fell
From the eager lids of my lover.
And the moon and the stars that looked over
Shall never reveal what a fairy-ike spell
They wove round about US that night in the
dell,
In the path through the dew-laden clover,
Nor echo the whispers that made my heart
swell,
AS they fell from the lips Of my lover:
