/ often hear it spoken now, the name
That once had power my inmost soul TO tarin,
To kindle all my face with sudden flame,
And all my heart with secret rapture fill.

Where vanished they-those old time hopes
and fears
That used TO blRnch my cheek, or swiftly bring
Before my sight a binding mist Of tears.

Where once n single frightened glance l stolS-
Those eyes that long ago a pathway burned
Into the inner temple Of my soul.
! hear the old, familiar voice, unmoved,
Whose faintest tone was music In that day;
No quickened pulse proclaims ~theivoice beloved,
My quiet heart goes steadfast on her way.
No bitterness, no shadow Of regret
Comes up to mar my peace with secret doubt

Be quite content to have 1t blotted out,
Wan mem'ry, lowering near the far of grave
OF our young love, calls back, across tho waste,
That all she finds IS cold and lifeless save
The few pale mourning flowers herself has
placed.
Sleep on, thou short lived love; thy grave Is deep;
Thy life was bitter, hut thy rest Is sweet;
Though DER thy burial place none pause to weep,
1t is approached by none save unshod feet.

How much do you suppose it COSTS"
asked the eccentric statistician, 'to pay
for wear and tear on a buggy?"
He asked the question to answer it, of
course, and replied: at takes two cents
a mile. That has been figured out by
owners of carriage works, and that is the
lowest figure. Two cents a mile for a
buggy driven at u trot, next come heavy
wagons with loads a fraction higher, and
5uggies behind speedy horses are higher
still. About three cents a mile is the
highest, and the wear and tear on all
kinds of vehicles run between two and
three cents a mile, the kind of paving,
whether it is sheet or stone, having con
siderable to do with IMAM About

THE Laramie Times (Ott's paper let's
its political cat out of the bag in this wise:
I'VE favor and heartily endorse the Dem
ocratic nominees and the platform made
by their representatives and accepted by
the st. Louis convention. So Tar as the
inner politics of territory, county and city
is concerned, we await the action of both
parties, but hope the Democratic party
will have sufficient courage to take an
active hand in the coming campaign, and
nominate loyal men for all offices, in which
case we will do all in our power to secure
their election"

biguous. Perhaps the professor scents

Sometimes l think that there must be
some kind of unknown law that regulates
the marriage question, over which man
kind has no control. 1t frequently hap
pens that the licenses on a particular day
will nearly all be taken out by persons
living in a particular section of the city
in the northern, southern, eastern, western
or central portions, as the circumstance
may be. A few days age nearly every
license, and there were t3lite a number,
were taken out by persons residing in the
northwestern section of the city. / have
noticed this popularity to occur with con-
siderable regularity, and l have neve
been able to account for it.-Marriage

One of the most curious customs that
attract the attention of strangers in
Panama is to see the native women walk
ing along the street smoking long, slen-
der cigars in much the fashion that men
do here. 1t is the custom of the women
there to gather in the public markets as
early as sunrise to gossip and talk over
affairs while enjoying their morning
smoke. AS there are few newspapers in
Panama, and a proportionately small
number of readers, the market is the
place where the news of the town is to be
iearned.-New York Evening World.

The DeIIghts Of summsr.

Summer is the season of growth and
physical prosperity for everything, an
innate or inanimate, except man in the
four season climates, and wen there some
exceptions prove what the rule might be.
The farmer sweats freely while hoeing In
his cornield, but, with'his straw hat, suit
of light jeans and bare feet he feels the
same grateful exhilaration as the veg
etating shoots which spring up gfeenly
about him. The pores of his skin are
open for every passing breeze, and the
wet drops which soak into his light
clothing are not an expense account upon
his physical bank.
A similar regulation of clothing prevails
in hot climates. The Hindoo who works
all day in the rice fields is not subject to
sunstrokes. Australians, Cubans and
Mexicans live easily during six months of
hot weather, because they know how to
adapt themselves to climatic conditions
as fatal as pes~tilences in the cities of this
part of the globe during some weeks of
the summer. The Greeks, in the days
when Athens was great, when Pericles or
Alcibiades ruled and Socrates, Plato, Zeno
or Pythagoras were living thinkers, did
not suffer from heat in their robes of
snowy linen. And the Romans of the
heroic age, when Virgil sang, Cicero talked
and Cesar led armies to victory, thought
summer a delightful season of happiness
and comfort.
The same possibilities exist for men of
today, If they viii only clothe themselves
sensibly and diet reasonably.-New York

pitched in a quiet spot on good ground.
Mitchell talked much as usual, and though
pale, declared himself confident. Sullivan
looket determined but was somewhat thin
in the face. When the combatants
reached the ring forty spectators were
present. Macdonald and Jack Ashton
seconded Sullivan and Baldoi and Kirain
seconded Mitchell. Mr.. Augle of the Lon
don Stock Exchange was referee. Jack
Bennett umpired for Sullivan. and Charley
Rowell acted in a like capacity for Mitchell.
Sullivan entered the ring at 1925 and
Mitchell followed five minutes later. At
1880 the fight began.
The FIGHT.
First round-Every thing favored the
but Sullivan soon landed a heavy blow on
the left of Mitchell's jaw. Mitchell retail
ated with light blow on Sullivan's chest,
whereupon Sullivan sent in a Crasher on
Mitchcl!s head and knocked him clean off
his legs.
Second round--For a half minutes inter
val Mitchell came to time, and Sullivan
was at him again The Boston boy twice
cornered Mitchell and landed Il pile driver
on his chest. This was a crusher for
Mitchell who tried to run out OF harm s
way, but he caught a blow on the head
from SuIlivan's right that downed him like
a log.
Third round-Mitchell came up for the
third round but ran all around The ring,
closely followed by the American, who
finally sent him sprawIing with a right
handler.
Fourth round--Sullivan was blowing on
account of running after Mitchell. and
though he finally caught Mitchell and pun
ished him lightly, the Engishinan contin-
ued to pursue the same tactics.
Sixth round-Mitchell, seeing the power

An Injunction Sought.

OMAHA, March &C. J. Greene, General
Attorney for the B. & NJ. Railway brought
suit in equity in the United States Court
to-day, and has obtained a restraining or
der from Judge Dundy, eDioining the Union
Pacific Railroad, it's officers and agents.
and particularly it's engineers, from refus-
ing to perform their duties under the inter
state commerce law, and restraining the
engineers OF the Union Pacific Railway
from striking, or from organizing or com
bining to direct any strike. Mr.
Greene proceeds upon the theory
that when men combined to.
gether for an unlawful purpose
and in furtherance thereof agree to strike
or to organize strike, they thereby place
in the hands of such combination their
individual right to quit employment and
thereafter are the agents of such cOmbina-
ton acting for the entire body, 80 that
when a strike occurs each individual not
only quits work for himself, but for every
other member OF such combination. The
order was served late this afternoon and
the hearing for permanent Injunction will
begin Monday.
