SMILE WHENEVER YOU CAN

When things don't 60 10 suii YOU
And the world seems upside down.
Don't waste your time in trrtting.
But drive away that ffoWn
since life Is of Perplexing,
IT'S much the wise~t plan,
To bear all trials bFavely
And smile whene' 'er you can.
Way should you dread the morrow.
And thus despoil to-day
For when you borrow trouble
loH always have to pay
Il i good old maxim.
Which should be often preached
Don't eros the bridge before you
Until the bridge Is reached.
You might be spared much signing
ifyou would keep in mind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined
There must Dc something wanting.
And though you roll in wealth
You may miss from your ealsket
That precious jewef--healtn
And though you're strong and sturdy
foa may have an empty purse
land earth has many trials
Which ! consider worse,
But whether joy or sorrow
fiil up Your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile Rhene'er you can.

THAT OHIO INQUIRY.
DISCOVERY THAT SOME ONE HAS
ALTERED THE REPORT.

An Interpolation That Reflects on the
Majority Found in the Copy Sent to the
United States Senate-No Clue to the
Perpetrator of the Hoax.
WASHINGTON, CITY May Sin the sem
ate Hoar had read letter re- ceived by him
from Secretary Emmett Tompkins, of the
legislative investigating committee of Ohio,
in regard to the printing of the report of
that committee rece ntly submitted to the
United States senate Tompkins states in
his letter, that upon examination of the
copy OF the minority report as printed by
order of the senate. he
finds that surreptitious in
terpolation has been made in the copy
furnished the printer, that the Interpolation
is Intended to reflect on tine good faith of
the ma sority of the Ohio committee and
mislead the senate committee on privileges
and elections. Tompkins asks that the mat
ter be investigated with view to discover
ing the perpertrator of the fraud. The
whole matter was referred to the committee
on privileges and elections
When it became known al tout the capitol
that surreptitious interpolation had been
made in the minority report of the select
committee of the Ohio Legislature which
recently investigated the charges in connec-
tion with the election of Senator Payne a
rush was maie for the document rooms to
ascertain the nature of the spuri-
ons paragraph The document
having been promptly suppressed
on the senate side every one desiring a
copy made break for the house document
room. There the supply of the documents
was small and soon became exhausted.
Every body was anxious to obtain copies be-
fore the order to suppress the report as or
roneously printed reached the house
side OF the capitol The follow.
ing is the text of the Objectionable
paragraph, which in the printed copy ap.
pears the concluding paragraph Of the
report:
The ma iority have all along conducted
this investigation as though they felt it in
cumbent upon them to find somebody guilty
as though some great party interests would
be leopardized unless they reported
that somebody was guilty of some,
| thing. We have helped them to
| draw the drag net in every muddy pool
VfciJ lut1 were
| pleased to designate, and every time they
thought they had captured the boss booiler
and whom they rushed in to grapple with
and to land him they invariably found
that it was only small sucker,
which they took between their fingers
and threw back into his native element
The majority report should read that al
| though they didn't find any one guilty OF
corrupt practices, they think it burning
shame that somebody wasn't guilty OF
bribery 50 that they might report his cap
ture by this committee.
Upon examination of the manuscript il
was found that the interpolation was writ
ten in lead pencil on sheet of pencil paper
while the report proper was in type writing
| There are many theories as to how the mat
ter came to he attached to the report, bu
no direct clew has yet been ascr;ainei.

THE QUEENS APPROVAL

IoniaI Exhibition Ode

of Some Sentiments in Tennyson's Co
IoniaI Exhibition Ode.
LONDON, May 5-The Indian and Colon.
ial exhibition was opened at South Kensing-
ton Tuesday by her ma jesty the queen, with
all the pomp and splendor that character
izes the queens appearance in public. The
weather was brilliant, Tho queen drove in
state from Buckingham palace to the exhi-
bition grounds, and all along the route she
was enthusiastically and repeatedly cheered.
The exposition building was crowded at an
early hour by memb rs of the nobility,
gentry and elite of London society; ali the
foreign princes and diplomats were
also present. while hundreds of
army officers in the gay and attractive
uniforms of their respective regiments
added variety and beauty to the scene The
interior of the building when her ma iesty
arrived presented a magnificent and brill
ant spectacle The opening procession was
led by the prince of Wales in person, who
| is the president of the exhibitIon association,
attended by his younger brother, the duke
of Edinburgh Their royal highnesses were
| followed by the princes of Battenberg
Lords Harrington Salisbury, Derby and a
| score of others who walked in the procession
| throughout Mr.. Gladstone was not present
and his absence was variousiy commented on
The most prominent feature at the open
ing was the singing by the choir of an ode
especially composed for the occasion by
Lord Tennyson The ode was in four verses,
the third of which is of peculiar interest to
America Tennyson's words reset to the
| music of Sir Arthur Sullivan The third
verse is as follows:
| Britain fought he sons Of yore,
| Britain failed: ana never more
| Z .reless of our growing kin
| Shall we sin our faticr sin
| Men thtt IN a narrower day
| Unprophetc Iaers they-
Drove from oui the mother nest
| THAI yDun! e,gle OF the West
Who Ioraged ior herself alone
| B ltains, iold your own.
The last verse also has lines appropriate
to the present icis-thus
| Shall We not l. rough GOOD and i'll
| Cieaee 10 one ano. her stlls
Britain myriad voices call,
| ''Sons be we ide each aud all
| Iuto one imperial Woe
= One with B.itah, heart "a soul;
| One life, one flag, one nest, one throne"
| Bsitains, hold yodr own,
And God guard ALL
The queen nodded and smiled during the
the singing in evident appreciation of the
sentiment of the ode
