GRIEF FOR THE DEAD.

GRIEF FOR THE DEAD.
oh, hearts that never cease TO yesrn
oh, brimming tears that meier are dried
The dead, though they depart, return
As though they had not died
The living are the only dead
The dead live, nevermore 10 die,
And oft, when we mourn them fled,
They never were so nigh.
And though they lie beneath the waves,
Or sleep within the churchyard dim,
tAhl through how many different graves
Gods children go to him.
Yet every grave gives up lis dead
Ere IT is overgrown with grass;
Then why should hopeless tears be shed,
Or need we cry, "Alas!"
Or why should Memory. yelled with gloom,
And like sorrowing mourner craped,
Sit weeping DER tan empty tomb,
Whose captives have escaped
IT'S but a mound, and will be messed
WIENER the summer grass appears;
The loved, though wept, are never Loot;
We only lose our tears.
Nay, Hope may whisper with the dead
By bending forward where they are;
But Memory, with backward tread,
Communes with them afar.
The Joys we lose are but forecast,
Aud we shall find them all once more,

Eight or nine years ago J. NJ. Hill, who
was in his day the most energetic theatrical
manager in America, lifted her from com
pete obscurity 10 instantaneous and won
derful success on the stage by means OF
some of the most clever advertising Amer
lea ever saw. For several seasons Math-
er's name acted on the theater going pub
lie like magic, and she played to crowded
houses everywhere. Then she deserted the
man who had made her in way that So
yored strongly of ingratitude- Almost in
stantly she dropped pretty nearly out OF
public sight. Last season little was heard
of her. This season she is said to have
been very successful.
A story has been told to the effect that
not only did Manager Hill make her sue
cessful actress, but that he educated her
and initiated her into the nsages of polite
society Whether this is true or not is
questioned and doesn't matter. Her de
sertion Of him was the beginning of series
of mishaps that eliminated in his financial
failure last summer; but he is now begin

Wonan's Way.

1t was two bold knights Grant; they rode forth
TO take the air;
They were seeking for adventures, anywhere
and everywhere;
One was aged and experienced, and one was
young and brash
The Experienced was prudent and the Inexpe-
rienced rash.
And presently they came upon couple I'M
aware
A huge and hideous monster, who beat a lady
fair.
He was great and grim and terrible, bulbous
bloated brute,
With hairy hands and nose that shamed the
beet's cnsanguined root
He was knobbed and gnarled and twisted like
n huge misshApen tree,
And the young mans heart waxed furious to
see what he did see.
For the brute be banged the lady till one trem-
bied for her life;
And when they asked him why, he said, "Oh,
nothing-she's my wife"
The knight Grant OF Experience, he made a
bow polite;
Said he: "A family affair? Excuse me, sir
good night
Excuse me If / cannot stay think I'll hurry

"Sname!" cried the inexperienced knight; but
lut OllCI hlisul Was SOnc.
SO the young knight laid his lance in rest, and
his youthful heart uproSe;
And no charged upon tho monster and just
touched his mighty nose;
And the monster reached out for him, and with
one tremendous thrust
He knocked the good knight of his horse and
laid him in the dust;
And twenty minutes later that young knight
slowly woke
Aud lay accounting up the bones and things
that monster broke:
And as he wondered at tho need OF brave
knight errantree.
He saw the lady sitting on that horrid mon
ster's knee
She laid her dainty fingers. as she sat in loving
pose,
On scratch. all but invisible. upon the mon
sters nose;
Her tender, soothing accents had sweet and
silvery ring:

than he did before.

am willing to wager that there
are not 200 persons in this country
who ever heard Of a Postmistress
General. She did not serve in this
country or in the present century,
but the fact that a women ever served
in that capacity is, indeed, remark
able, said Postmaster Harlow, of St.
Louis, to a Globe-Democrat reporter.
Denmark was the home of this re-
markable woman, whose name was
Countess Gyldenlore, or Dorothea
Krag, as she was called during her
term of office, which extended from
the year 1903 to I'LL. The present
postal system in that country, which
is considered one of the best in the
world, was inaugurated by her. OF
course, with the crude methods OF
that age she could not accomplish a
great deal, but she certainly worked
wonders, for which the Danes should
honor her name.

AS THE result of the recent exam
ination at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
nine non-commissioned officers of the
army were recommended for appoint
ment as second lieutenants. The
plan of the present administration,
by which non-commssioned officers
who have had two years service can
win shoulders taaps by passing a
rigid examination, has been highly
successful, because it has had the
effect to draw into the army many
young men of ability and education
with a special aptitude for military
service Such an influx of character
and ability has elevated the morals
of the regular army. Hereafter all
enlisted men who have served faith
fully. whether warrant officers or not,
can take the examinations.

upon American public men, and es-
pccially upon Mr.. Randall. Though
drawing So, a year for many years

save anything owing to the expensive

Beware of Kisses.

Dogs, cats and men are liable to be
infected with dangerous, loathsome,
and sometimes disgraceful maladies,
which are in no way so apt to be
communicated as by the mouth. A
physician reports in the ST. Louis
Courier Of Medicine painful case of
a young married lady of unimpeach-
able character, mysteriously infected
and ultimately exonerated only by
tracing the affection to a young man
who, unsupported, had been INDUCED
in the habit of kissing her baby.
The baby had thus contracted the
disease, and communicated it to the
young mother, to her infinite morti-
fication and peril of character, to say
nothing of the most serious physical

An Eventful Game of Chance.

Lord Holland relates in his memoirs
how once the military career OF
Napoleon |. and Herewith to a GER
tain extent the fate of Europe de-
pended upon a game of hazard. When
Napoleon was appointed for the first
time as an independent Commanding
General of the Italian army the Di-
rectory then at the head Of France
was not willing, or perhaps not able,
to provide enough money for him to
defray the expenses of himself and
his adjutants to the seat of war and
to make proper show as Command
ing General of SO considerable an
army at it's headquarters. Napoleon
borrowed money from his friends, and
after exhausting all his credit had
succeeded in collecting 20, 900 francs.
He gave the whole amount to JunOt,
a young officer who was known as a
frequent visitor of the gaming table,
and told him either to lose the whole
sum at the game or to win enough to
return him the amount doubled, as
it would depend upon his success
whether he could accept the appoint
ment as Commanding General of the
Italian army, and also appoint him,
Junot, as his adjutant, as he had in
view. Junot went, as ordered.
Napoleon waited almost the whole
night for his return. Finally at
o'clock in the morning Junot entered
and gave Napoleon IS, 900 francs with
the remark that he had gambled
away nearly the whole sum of 1000
francs until he had at last succeeded
in winning several high stakes in sue
cession. Then Napoleon accepted
the appointment which was destined
to confer the highest glory upon him.
Junot became one of his marshals.

II is not unlikely that events of
the next two or three years will fur
nish very gratifying proof of the
splendid possession which Indiana
has in her natural gas. This cheap
fuel gives the natural gas region an
immense advantage over any other
manufacturing district in the coun-
try. This advantage is so great that
some manufacturing Industries
which, in other parts of the country,
are dependent on protection for their
very existence, can be carried on
protitably in the gas region without
protection. This exceptional con-
ditiOn may inure immensely to the
advantage Of Indiana by causing a
rush Of manufacturing industries to
the State which could not exist else
where. The abundance, cheapness
and apparent misunderstanding of this
unequalcd fuel supply may thus give
Indiana precedence as a manufacture
ing State over any other section of
the country.

No FOrmality Was Omitted.

Detective White tells funny story
of case that happened while he was
in Chicago. A country Marshal came
into town to arrest man wanted
within his jurisdiction for embezzle-
ment. He called at police head
quarters, stated his case, but spurned
all proffers of assistance from the de-
tectives, saying that he didn't want
any detectives to ring in" on his
cases, and he guessed they couldn't
give him any "p'inters" anyhow. A
friend Of his was to point out through
the glass door of the attorneys office
the man wanted, and Mr.. Marshal
was to go in and arrest him.
The scheme worked beautifully.
The Marshal greeted his man with
the self-satisfed feeling with which
a cat plays with it's captive mouse
before making a meal of it, and al
lowed that his prospective prisoner
wasn't expecting him He then de-
liberately took out the warrant and
read it with many flourish. Then
folding it, ne said: "You are my
prisoner, sir; come with me-"

the look of surprise on his face turn
lug to broad grin of mirth.

THE capture by the French off the
African coast of an English vessel
loaded with improved arms and am
munitiOn for the DahOmeyan army
calls attention to one international
evil that in it's way is as vicious as
the slave trade or the sale of liquor
to the African savages. When one
Christian nation is engaged in such q
IOmmendable war of defense and con-
quest as that Of the French against
Dahomey. it is outrageous for rival
nations to supply the natives with
modern means of defense. Not only
does it lift up the hand of civilization
against the civilized, but it needless
ly prolongs bloody struggle, in
creases the loss of life, and in the end
makes the fate Of the conquered
harder than it would have been
otherwise. 1t is barbarous and indie
feasible, and ought to be put under
the ban of an international agree
ment such as was framed by the
Brussels congress- Until it is, I'M
scrupulous traders may be expected
to engage in the dastardly business
for the large profits in it.
