Just ~ the south side OF our house, beside the

The clover grew as nowhere else II grew,
Folding its triple leaves together close ct even
ing,
Turning its silver lining 10 the dew.
There drowsy bees came humming and well
laden
Went 10 the hive with ambercovered thighs;
II was SO green so sheltered and so peaceful,
oft recall the spot, meath distant skies
And there 1--WE children" played with neighbor-

How time goes by-dead now OF scattered

All then so glad and guileloss Those that love

Say now OF some "Twere better they had

Yet surely, though that childish band is broken.
And innocence is gone and youth is over
Each heart has, like the bees, hived some sweet

Aud mem'ry wakes still at the breath OF

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF tho body are under tho con-
troll OF the nerve centers located In or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged When IL Is re-
membered that a serious Injury TO the spinal
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury. from reaching the
paralyzed portion, IT, will be understood how
the arrangement OF the nerve centers VIII
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds Of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action OF the nerve centcrs at
the base OF the brain, not from dcrangc-
ment primarily originating in tho organ It
self. The great mistake OF physicians In
treating these diseases Is that they treat tho
organ rather than the nerve ccnters which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR. FRANKLIN MILES, tho celebrated spc-
ciallst, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries In connection with II, chief among
them being tho facts contained In tho above
statement, and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzl-

A Good Exouae for Once.

'Lias Blackburn, says Harper's Magazine
for October, was, in his day, one of the most
successful and notorious moonshiners of
Southwestern Virginia. Still, 'Lias was by
no means an unprincipled man. His contempt
for the revenue laws was complemented by
regard for a code of morals, peculiarly his
ticularly inveighed against unreasonable in
ebriety. Lias never was drunk without cause,
and any other reason why being no reason
for drink to his logical mind. he was often
sober for five consecutive days.
After one OF these periods Of abstinence
'L1aS found occasion to smuggle a ten-gallon
"kaig'' into Tennessee. 'Lias had quasi
conviction that in spite Of his genious gaug
ing of the barrel. a shortage might be no
ticed when he delivered the goods, and the
suspicion weighed on his mind more than the
"kaig'' on bis shoulder. When he reached
the part of the mountain trail called High
Knob, the greatest elevation Whereabouts. he
felt so worn out by worry and fatigue that he
decided to rest awhile. The beauty of the
night brought comfort to LASS soul. and the
Softness of the turf to his bare feet. He
threw down the 'kaig. stretched himself on
the grass. and shut his,eyes for forty winks -
Around High KNOB there is only one thing

what the Defeat OF Repeal Means.

What the Defeat OF Repeal means.
The N1rNr~s NrV- said some days
ago that DO thc minority OF the Senate
succeeds .u preventing vote on The bin
OBJ ropcai fhe sherman silver law there
would boz little hope OF passing either
tariff bin or % bin repeating the election
laws during this congress In other
words if the minority of the Senate sue
c,cds iu preventing action ON the silver
repeal bin. this congress will be barren Of
results, so far as reform measures are
concerned The Democratic party will
be placed In the position of promising
great deal and doing nothing. Southern
senators who are acting with the silver
obstructionists ought 20 be able TO see
that if they help to bring about such
condition of affairs a far greater injury
will be done the Democratic party in
the south than they allege would be done
theparty blythe unconditionalrepe alof the
Sherman silver law. The unconditional
repeal of that law would do the Demo
cratic party in the south good rather
than harm, though there are southern
democratic senators who pretend to think
otherwise.
The views expressed by the MORNING
News on this point are held by leading
democrats in congress. On Monday Rep
resentative Rayner called upon Senator
Voorhees, to find out whether there was
any prospect for compromise. He was in
formed that the friends of repeal were
not thinking of Offering or accepting any
compromise-that the repeal bill would
be pressed to vote
MIR. Rayner said, in an interview, that
he did not see that a compromise
was possible-that the republicans
would agree TO no compromise that did
not include bond issue, and that prop
osition to issue bonds for gold would bring
on a long fight in the House that would
end, probably, in the defeat of the com
promise measure. MIR. Rayner also said:
1T is my opinion, after careful review
of the situation, that if this bill is pre-
vented from coming to a vote and a small
minority of the Senate can compel the
majority to surrender, it is an end of all
hopes of the passage of the tariff bill or
the federal elections bill. For this rea-
son l hope to see, before the end of the
week, a combined effort on the part of the
majority to force the debate and reach
vote Public opinion should now be con-
centrated on the passage of this bill, and
the subordination of every sort of legisla
ton to it until it is disposed off, Mr..
Rayner is right. Unless the repeal bill is
passed the Democratic party will find it
difficult, if not impossible, to carry out its
reform programme.

There i- % great dcll ueInr said .u Gao

Che election laws that is foreign to tng .s
sue Many of the members arc trl.ur tH
make eloquent speeches with tnc hope o.
increasing their popularity with their
constituents To is well understood now
how each member is going 20 vote. THE
question is partisan one. The demo
Gratis will vote FOR repeal and the repubIl-
cans against IT, The bin viii be- passed
just as soon as "a vote can be reached, and
vote will be reached quickly after the
debate is closed, because the majority will
not tolerate hlibustering.
The election laws ought TO he repealed.
When they were enacted they were
aimed at the south. The Republican
party wanted the entire negro vote and it
enacted the federal election laws with the
hope of getting it, That party cared
nothing for the negroes. 1t made a pre-
tenseof doingso, but its practices revealed
its insincerity.
The election laws are based upon the
idea that the people are dishonest-that
they cannot be trusted to manage their
own elections. The Republican party is
not willing to trust the people 1t says
that spies and federal officers are neces-
sary TO compel respect for the ballot
box
But have the spies and officials that
have been appointed through its inhu-
ence been honest} Have they respected
the rights of the people? How about
Davenport in New York; How many
offenses has he committed in the name
of the law? What national election has
there been in the last ten years that has
not been marked by many violations of the
rights of citizens2 And he has filled his
pockets by pretending to enforce the
election laws, but really by trying
to help the Republican party
Has that party ever refused to
pay his bills, enormous as they have
been! The doings of Davenport have a
place in the political history of the coun-
try. His career as political bulldozer for
the Republican party will be ended, how
ever, before another national election is
held.
There is no occasion to refer to the
workings of the election laws in the south.
The southern people are familiar with
them and they rejoice that they are soon
to be released from the burdensome
annoyances and the wrongs which they
permit

A Sample Lincoln Story.

Lincoln never told story simply for the
sake Of the story. His object always was
to illustrate a point" says Senator
Voorhees,. Il remember what was
l think, the first story l ever heard him tell
1t was in Springfield. and a number of US
were together one evening. With us was
Judge krum Of st. Louis Judge Krum was
God deal out of temper with a local magis-
trIte who had decided "a case against him.
ana SWore he would carry it to the supreme
court and take the conceit out of that judge.
That reminds me Of man 1 once
knew who had a dream said, Mr.. Lincoln
He dreamed that he was to find a hidden
treasure in the earth. but this he could do
only on condition that during the digging
forit, he keep silent, and say not a word.
lie set out to dig and great many things
happened that would have drawn speech
from almost any body, but the man kept his
mouth shut. A tremendous infantry battle
went on near him, and a naval engagement
took place in sight The man kept on dig
glng and said not word. A giant came
striding by, taking enormous steps, and
was soon out of sight. Then a dwarf came
pranctng along on his little feet, looking as if
he felt nine feet high. He came to the edge
of the hole aid looked in.
Say he said to the digger, the SEN
ator reproduced his high squeaky little voice
admirably" have you seen giant go by
here"
The man kept on digging, and said not
word Say, can't you give a civil answer to a
questions? asked the dwarf. The man kept on
digging ana Sdlu nOtnlng. On, very we'll,
said the dwarf, III just walk on and catch up
with him pretty soon anyway The man
stopped digging and looked up Yes, you
will he said.
OF course" said the senator. 1--WE all saw
the application and roared. That merely
serves to show his purpose in telling stories
His height his lack of comeliness and his
STORYTELLING were his most noticeable char
acteristics"
He was never anything but extremely
plain in appearance " said Mrs. Palmer. He
was even worse looking in earlier life than
during his presidency. 1 can't remember
when 1 did not know him, but I think he never
appeared so well as he did just little while
before he was killed"

The first bombardment of Rio Janeiro
by the insurgents does not seem to have
been very warlike affair Sara Bern
hardt, the actress was on visit in the
harbor of Rio at the time, and on her re
turn to Paris, gave her version of it. Ac-
cording to cablegram she said: 1T was
a marvel-a scene of a lifetime l was on
deck constantly during the first two days,
not going below even to eat. In those
two days 2ll cannon shots were exchanged
between Fort Santa Cruz and the war
ships The display was superb, but
neither side apparently fired to kill Not
one shot, as far as saw or heard hit or
hurt anything. 1t seemed as if they had
created a splendid spectacle to frighten
each other, and were doing their best to
make the greatest possible noise without
injuring anybody. On the morning of the
third day several of US got permission
from the city to go ashore. although the
steamers captain had been ordered not
to land passengers. We remained in the
city forty-eight hours. We had expected
to find everything upside down. 1t was
quite otherwise. Nothing about the
place reminded me of what l supposed a
besieged city would be like. Business
was going on as usual. In the afternoon
the ladies were out driving and calling as
if nothing were happening, and in the
evening the places of amusement
were as full as ever" Bombard-
ments of that kind are rather
costly, but not dangerous to life or prop
