AN OLD BOOK.
Musty and yellow, sadly worn.
The ancient tome appears;


Mtisty and yellow, sadly worn,
The ancient tome appears;
Its pages blotted, thumbed and tosH
And blistered Ger with teais.
The broken cover, here and there
Stitched fast with faded thread.
Its golden letterings, once fair.
Eow turned dlngy red.
Upon the fly leaf, blurred by TINA
The words " love you" stand;
And underneath childish rhyme
Writ in a childish hand.
And farther down the yellow page
Our names are side by side,
In letters long since dimmed by age
But penned in boyish pride.
And as turn tho musty leaves
My clouded sight grows clear;
. And magic fancy round me weavez
The web of memories dear.
Recorded here, unread, unknown
Except by her and me,
Is how childish love has grown
To glad maturity.
Our little Joys we whispered low
As o'er these leaves we bent;
Der them our mingled tears did fiow
OF grief or discomfort.
Our lives seemed larger then than now,
More broad our hopes and fears; =.
Ahl love alone has dared to grow
Beyond our childhood,s years.
Thou precious bookl More dear to mo
Than volumes thick with gold;
What love song could more perfect DO
Than on thy leaves Is toldf
Around thee cluster memories sweet,
Unchanged through changing years;
In theo the past and present meet
With mingled smiles and tears.

ident Ii Quite Popular.


ident Ii Quite Popular.
WASHINGTON, July 6.--When inter-
viewed upon his arrival here Minister
Douglass was quite. communicative. He
said the story that be was compelled to
remain in doors during the trouble in
Hayti was hoax. Speaking Of the
revolution, Mr.. Douglass said:
For time things were exceedingly
uncomfortable. The bullets whist1ed
around in manner which would make
any one but veteran feel that he was
in close corners. had just come in
from my country place and got to the
consulate without losing much time.
The reyolutionists may have thought
they were going to have an easy time of
it, but they were greatly mistaken. Pres
ident Hippolyte was equal to the
emergency and they We're soon glad
enough to flee to the mountains.
"All is quiet now and | do not think
there will be any more trouble soon.
President Hippoiyte has taught the
would be reyolutionists lesson which
they will not forget. He has shown
himself level headed man, and stands
higher with his people than ever before.
The president is exceedingly popular in
Port-au-P Prince.
''The sooner Hayti, Chile and other
South American countries learn the art
Of electing men and keeping good ones,
and not trying revolutionary methods,
the better it will be for all concerned.
They do not now seem to realize this,
but believe the time is coming when
they will. There is no truth in the re-
port that the state department had re-
called me-"
Mr.. Douglass said he would be home
for about sixty days, when he will To-
turn to his post.

wives.
Surgeons and relief train were sent

and dying were heartrending. One
mans head was severed at the mouth,
and his head was fished out from under
the wreck several hours after his body
was found. 1t is feared there are one or
two bodies yet under the wreck.
One of the most pathetic incidents of

ton of the Welcher family. Mr..
Welcher, his wife and little child were
on their way to Point Pleasant to visit
friends, being their first trip outside of
the city for years. Mr.. Welcher was
instantly killed, and his wife was brought
