Rocking the lilies, sleeping in their beds;
The flowers knew who called them from their

And all the sylvan echoes answering spoke
Around the gabled hsuse as one in pain
He howled,' then, ftful, laughed in savage
Bringing wild murmurs from the distant plain
And hollow echoes from the raging sea.
Then with quick hands before the stars he

'Tis hard TO part where stronger ties than

'Tis hard to bow to fate and smile,
Though heartstrings ring with grief the

'Tis hard to choke the sob. the sigh,
To free the hand, to say "Goodby."

A REAL GOOD DINNER.
Variety Not Such an Important Con.
sideration as Quality.
HENRY wATTERSON'S BEST MEAL
A Menu for New Years Day That will Fill
Every Requirement
SOMETHING ABOUT COFFEE MAKING
WRITTEN FOR THE pIseArcH.l


1t was until lately prevalent notion that
the excellence of dinner consisted in the
number of different kinds of cooked dishes
which were set upon the table, rather than
in a judicious variety. Itwas very gener-
ally assumed that quantity was more prefer
able than quality; and it is to be feared and
regretted that this mistaken notion obtains
with many people even vet That it is an
erroneous one, every irst-class cook will tell
you; and he but voices the sentiment of
those who are the best judges of what he
prepares for them.
We allude, of course, to the dinner Of the
family, and the rule is strictly applicable
here. 1t is good custom and a commenda-
BILE indication of practical economy to have
fewer dishes, even on unusual occasions,
than has been the custom heretofore; but td
have each and every dish well and palata-
bly, cooked. 1 may here be permitted to
quote the language of a gentleman who
speaks on this point. Mr.. Henry Waiter
son, who on many public occasions has COM
plimented the women OF America in the
highest terms, in recalling "reminiscences,
made the following observation in aletter to
his paper, the Louisville Courier-Journal::
1.-The best dinner 1 can recall was in the
woods OF Georgia with james Eustis, staff
officer of General Joe johnson. who after
ward became United States Senator, and
Harry Yeatman. General Folks aid-de-
camp. 1t consisted of a single leg of mutton,
some hot wheat bread, a little pure butter
and half phial of Scotch whisky which we
had purloined from the Generals camp
chest.
"a good dinner is perfect food perfectly
dressed; not a great array of dishes. The
art of cooking is the first of the fine arts.
The first woman in America is she who pre-
pares the best dish; because by this one act,
this superior accomplishment, she con-
tributes to the health of her children and
the fidelity OF her husband"

of natures heaven-sent friends the young
soul Is surrounded by enemies. His food.
his drink, his appetites have each become
an enemy. At % the angel wings have DIS
appeared from between the shoulders. and
instead there is milestone fastened about
the neck. If plant should do this it
should never rejoice in an Easter Sun
day. But no lily is so foolish as to drink
whisky ,ather than water. 1t remains for
the young man, it seems. to exchange
friends made by infinite wisdom for enc
mics made in the shops of folly and de-
pravity. 1t makes each succeeding Easter
more impressive and the entire drift of
religion and of the present civilization is
toward the greater happiness of the entire
multitude. So deeply is the world en-
tangled In past customs that the wisest of
men do not know how to secure the most
happiness for the greatest number. Even
those who are suffering most can not them
selves tell what would be the cure of their
personal misfortune without being the in
jury of some others. Light will come
slowly, but it is blessed thought that so
many eyes are now watching for it and
are wishing for the coming of more per-
feet day.
There are not many educated persons
who are willing that society should remain
as it is to-day All feel that better results
should be reached by each citizen, and as
the feeling deepens, thought becomes more
active and from this new emotion and new
activity a better philosophy will at last
spring. Humanity ought to reach soon
wonderful uplifting and push back the
clods which have held it down in It's grave.
Soon men should say: Humanity has
risen from its tomb. It should add to our
Easter worship that Christ stands not only
for the resurrection from the dead but for
a wonderful growth and blossoming of the
heart feelings and institutions of life on
this side of the tomb. All his words and
actions apply to each world. Love, equal
ity, happiness, goodness, We're to rule in
triumph here Time and eternity were
one IN all things except duration All
man Sundays were to be Easter days; all
his co.amon days full of an uprising mind
and buoyant heart The Easter flowers
were to grow not only on the edge of
heaven but they were to spring up where
statesmen make laws and where neighbor
meets neighbor. Where armies of ambi-
ton once marched and fought there Easter
blossoms were to grow, and in their beauty
and fragrance ease the traces and the
memory of wrongs"

GhOStly Find in "A Cave.

Last Friday Mr. Baker Ramsey, DR..
Sheed D. S, Hare and myself were out
fox-hunting, writes a correspondent of the
Nashville American at fuckers Cross
Roads. Our hounds were chasing a fox
which passed near Mr. Ramsey and entered
small hole. We decided to dig the ami
NAL out, and found by moving stone
that it would give considerable entrance to
the hole, large enough for dog. if not a
man. to enter. The rock was moved and
Mr. Ramsey entered the caven first. He
found that a man could stand up and it
seemed to get larger
Saturday morning we all met again with
lanterns and plenty of matches. We be-
gan to descend in the cave We went
to be about fifteen feet above our heads: the
walls were as smooth as plank. We
came to a small creek, crossed it, and
about thirty yards from this creek we
found a pile of ashes, two oldfashioned
rifles. three pistols, one ladle and some
bullett-molds lying close by One of the
pistols had the letters NJ. S. T. on the
handle, and on the wall was written NJ. S.
Thomas, June 2, 1896.
in an entrance further on we found
there lay the skeletons of five human be-
ings. Off to one side lay a skeleton that
seemed to have been a woman. for on her
right fore-fnger was plain gold ring, and
In the ring we're the letters-R W. to NJ.
E., 1Sk. DIR. Sheed took the ring off the
skeleton finger. We also found one tooth
plug of gold. This cave is on DIR. Blair's
farm, and is the most wonderful in Wilson
county.

A PASSING FACE.
J. T. NEwCoNB.

'Twa. but moment. Long enough to feel
The grateful presence of her quiet face,
And at her beauty's shrine moment kneeL
To mark the sweetness of her gentle face
To catch glance from out her downcast eyes,
A feeting light of violet, more rare
Than all the colors of the summer skies,
That but moment fingered futterins there
A moment. Than she vanished; yet to stay,
Within my memory, as some distant strain
OF music rising, slowly dies away,
But fingers yet, when all is still again
Or, as a dream that fits across the mind
When care is bound by all forgetting sleep
Too soon will vanish, and yet leave behind
A gentle sweetness that the senses keep.
If fate had but been kinder. Who can tell
Our paths had been the same, and hand In
hand
Together we had wandered DER the fell
And crossed the border Of theunknown land.
We met to meet no more. Upon the sea
Of life we pass like ships. A moment seen,
4 signal shown, a shout thrown cherrilly,
Then darkness, waves and distance stretch be-
tween.

In the little matter of curtains and

done, or left undone, that add to our de-
tract from the comfort and pleasantness of

A neighbor had a sunny west window

Tongue river and Rosebud to the Pine Ridge

were once located in the Indian Territory
but became dissatisfied and about ten years
ago they got together, bucks, squaws, ponies
and papooses, and made the march across
country to Rosebud and Tongue river.
Some of them went to South Dakota at that
time. The march was the most remarkable
Indian march on record. Troops were
ordered out and attempted to inter
cept them, but failed. They muir
dered many settlers and were still
on the warpath when captured by Gen.
Miles and located where they now are.
Some of them went to South Dakota at the
time. Many homesteaders had settled upon
the lands and have been trying to get the
Indians removed ever since, without sue
cess. Senator Pettigrew objects in the
strongest terms to the removal of the Mon
tana CheYennes to South Dakota. I'VE

that the people of every state try to get rid
OF the Indians they have got and then they
