She Drew the Line at Kisses.

Her eyes were soft and dark as night,
Her raven tresses vieing.
I took g seat beside my love,
And soon I fell to sighing,
She placed her hand within my own
What thrills began to culver
About my heart! Said she: "Dear
John,
What is it makes you shiver?'
I scarcely knew, and so I said,
Ppm warmer than cinder;;'
Aud then daring II ought occurred
Pray, what was there to hinder?-
I bent over her ruby lips
To steal the tempting blisses.
"Oh, no." said she, "it cannot be;
draw the line at kisses"
The years may come, the years may 60,
I'll meier forget our meeting.
Upon her cheek pretty glow
The moments all too f1eeting!
All, who can tell the royal way
To manage pretty misses?
Just when you think they love you
most
They draw the line at kisses.

TIE BEGINNING OF FPENs1oN REFORM
The Administration All Right with the
Country on the Question.
New York SUM-

The decision of Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration with respeco to pensions
is simply this: The Government. will
not undertake thesupport ofex-soldiers
whose disabilities or infrmities did not
originate in the service, when the dis
ability or infrmity not due to service
does not prevent the ex-soldier from
earning bis own living.
A more reasonable, equitable, and
proper measure of reform it would be
difficult to imagine. Loose and ipju-
dicious az were some of the provisions
of the Disability Pension act of 1890,
the Congress which passed that law
never contemplated any such abuses of
the system as were fastened upon it by
Commissioner Raum, under Gen. Har-
rison's reckless management Of pension
affairs. The resembling of Raum's
order restores the rating of disability
pensioners to the standard established
by the law which has been persistently
misconstrued for the past two or three
years. ....
The estimate that from SIS, 900, 900 to
$4,000, 900 will be saved to the Treas
ury annually by following the law
itself instead of Gen. Raum's illegal
construction of that law, may prove
excessive. But, whether the saving is
s20,0Oo,0OO, or s2OO0,OoO, it should be
effected. The most liberal interpreta-
ton of the Governments duty to its
former soldiers does not require that
citizens shall be taxed to support other
citizens who are capable of supporting
themselves, merely because the names
of the latter once appeared on the
army rolls, although the war left them
unscathed.
This wise and proper measure of pen
sion reform is described in some of our
Republican contemporaries as an sat
tack on the pensioners" Pensions of
that sort ought to be not only attacked,
but obliterated. Five years ago the an
nual pension expenditure was about$9O-
100000, or about nearly the sum which
so good a patriot and friend of the vete-
rams as Gen. Garfield declared was the
high-water mark of any honest pension
system. Within five years the annual
expenditure has almost doubled. It is
time to call a halt.
In any effort to check the unparal-
leled extravaganza which threatens to
bankrupt the treasury in the name Of
gratitude to the Unions defenders,
President Cleveland will have the sup
port of all right-thinking citizens, in
Guiding the veterans of the war. He
may be:sure of this. In,honest pension
reform no worthy dependent upon the
Governments bounty has anything to
fear.

Donaldson VS.. CAN'T.
From the Piedmont Headlight

From the Piedmont Headlight
To the Editor of the Headlight: Your
issue of the 18th inst. has just been
handed me. In your comments upon
my reply to Governor Tillman's attack
upon me you say, "And we further ask
Col. Doonaldson how can he advocate
Alliance principles and then endorse
the nomination of a man at such vari-
ance with them as Mr.. Cleveland is
known to be-" Again, you say-re-
ferring to my advocacy of Mr.. Cleve-
land-"this is the only portion of Col.
Donaldson's letter in which the Alli-
ance men of our State are Interested -
Well, there is no accounting for indi-
didual opinions, and your opinion in
this matter, I am glad to believe, is
not, and as Twill show ought not to be,
the opinion of intelligent Alliance men
generally. ....
In the first place you start out on
false premises and discover the fact
that you are ignorant of the first prin-
ciples of the Alliance, in that you mix
up in a conglomerated mass the Alli-
ance with politics without even an at
tempt to discriminate or distinguish
the one from the other, and just such
confusion of terms and misleading
statements, as you indulge in, as to the
purpose, principles and aims of the
Alliance, is doing more harm to the
Order, in the honest attempts that are
being made through it to better the
condition of the farmer. than, perhaps,
anything else. Whether intentional
or not, such strenuous efforts on the
part of newspapers to direct and con-
troll the Alliance in politics make them,
though professed friends, the worst
enemies the farmer has.
You say the only thing the AL
lance is interested in is my endorse
ment of Mr.. Cleveland. Do you sup
pose you can thus lead Alliance meD
who read your paper to believe that it
is of no interest to them when the Pres
ident of the United States is told that
the president of the South Carolina
Farmers Alliance is not fit to hold
office? Most of the members of the
Alliance are 21 years old and will be
apt to make up their own minds as to
that.
Now what about your apparent ig-
norance Of the first principles of the
Alliance? If you will turn to page OF
the ritual you will find that when
candidate is presented for membership
the president repeats these words to
him: "Before you proceed it will be
necessary that you take on yourself
solemn obligation, which, I assure you,
will not conflict with the freedom of
your political or religious views. With
this assurance are you willing to pro-
ceed?" In the face of these words, with
which every member is familiar, you
presume upon the ignorance or political
prejudice which you evidently suppose
to exist in the Alliance in undertaking
to arraign me for exercising my free
dom, as citizen, in politics. Suppose
Mr.. Cleveland has not endorsed the
Ocala platform. Did any one of the

WILD WORK OF THE WINDS.
A Terrible Storm in the State Of ArkaDsas-
Many People Killed and Injured.

HOPE, ARK, June 1.-Howard
County was swept by terrific storm
and rain yesterday afternoon, resulting
in loss of life and great destruction of
property. County Assessor Stewart

ously hurt. At New Leadville de-
structive hail storm did great damage
to crops and residences and killed
large amount Of stock.
FOREST CITY, ARK, June IA tor
nado passed four miles west Of this city
last night, but as that part of the coun-
try was completely isolated by the hur-
ricane, no particulars could be gained
until this morning. The two-story
frame house occupied by Mrs. Thomas,
a widow with large family, was COM
pletely demolished, and Mrs. Thomas
and her thirteen-year-old daughter
were instantly killed. Other members
of the family were badly bruised.
Many houses in the track of the tor
nado were demolished or unroofed.
CAMDEN, ARK, June 1.-Meagre re-
ports from points in Columbia County,
adjoining this county, were to the ef-
feet that a disastrous tornado passed
over there yesterday evening. The
wind cut a swath four miles wide.
One hundred and sizty-fve big trees
we,e blown across the Cotton Belt
Railroad track near Waldo Station.
Damage was done to all property in
the track of the whirlwind. 1t is a
great yellow pine region and saw mills
and stocks were injured. No loss of
life is reported, the people fleeing to
excavations and ravines. One man
jumped in a well to save himself. The
railroad track has been cleared of
debris. ...- ..-.......-..........

Old Glory on the DEVILS Tower.
IChicaoo Daily Tribune

lChicago Daily Tribune.l
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., May 27.-The
people of western South Dakota and
Wyoming are greatly interested in the
approaching attempt Of W. B. Rogers
of Sundance to plant an American
flag on top of DEVILS Tower, in the
Black Hills. The tower is 1900 feet
high, measures 800 feet in circumference
at the base, and $50 feet at the top. 1t
is supposed to have been chimney to
some subterranean fire. 1t is perfectly
round in form, the sides being futed
like pertico column. No one has ever
yet stood on the top of this curious
tower. It is inaccessible, the sides offer
ing no foothold. Rogers claims he will
cut footholes as he ascends. Should he
be successful he will receive $500.
Scientists say that this tower has not
duplicate in the world.

Water That Won't Oueach Fire.

From the Minneapolis Journal.]
PIERRE, S. D., May GA flow of
400 gallons per minute was struck at
the Government artesian well at the
Indian school yesterday at depth Of
1925 feet. The water possessed the
same qualities as the water at the Hot
Springs in the Black hills, being at a
temperature of 920 and is highly mag
netic. The gas which accompanies
the flow makes it worthless for fire
protection, as the gas will blaze if a
light is applied to the flow of water.

Willard d. Williams, the S15yeer-old son of A.

between thirty and forty feet The little fellow
Struck upon his head face down, crushing his
skull. Although insensible the child fingered
some minutes, moaning in pitiful manner.
A. J. Williams and his family, consisting OF
wife and TWO children, live in rooms in the rear
OF the Baxter block. This block faces on South
Fifth street and the rear looks down into the
vacant lot, part of which was to have been &C.
cupied by the theater that has never been built.
Across the back OF the building are porches con-
nected with each other by steep stairs. Count
ing from the ground the Williams family lived
on the third floor Below them lived the Kuuz
family, whose little boy, Arthur, played with
the Williams child. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Williams bought new COOK stove and had it
set up. After this was done he said goodbye to
Willard, who seemed greatly pleased with the
addition TO the furniture, aud his wife, and
went back to his work at the bank building.
He had left the house but few minutes when
Willard wanted to go down stairs and tell his
playmate, Arthur KunZ ali about the stove.
The little fellow opened the kitchen door lead
Ing TO the porch and started for the stairs. His
mother was standing at the window and, as he

headlong out into space. In its descent TO the
ground the little body turned over twice and
struck upon a board flooring face down. the

When the mother reached the railing and
looked over for her child, she saw him stretched
out upon the dirt-eovered boards quivering in
death struggles. She rushed down the stairs,
but a stranger reached the little form ahead of
her and carried it upstairs and placed it on
bed. The child moaned but gave no answer to
the grief-stricken mothers cries. Word was i'm
mediately sent to the father aud to Drs. Bailey
and Palmer. The physicians arrived before life
was extinct, but could do nothing to save it.
When the father came the little one lay upon
the bed. dead.
The parents are griei-stricken and have made
no arrangements for burying the remains.

A DANGEROUS ROADWAY.
Another Horse and Wagon Fall Victims
on Commercial street.

Another horse and wagon tumbled off the
Commercial street roadway over the tide fats
Tuesday. The horse was drowned and the
wagon badly damaged. They belonged to the
Puget Sound Steam Laundry Company. The
driver was turning the horse around and it
backed too far, running the wagon clear over
the edge of the roadway, and as it went down
the animal was carried with 1t. The driver
only escaped by jumping off when he realized
that the wagon was going over. Assistance soon
cafne. but the horse was dead before 1t could be
gotten out The accident occurred between
Piummer aud Norman streets.
Horses enough have been lost off this roadway
since ii was built to almost pay for keeping il in
frstclass condition, had they been sold and the
money applied in that way. All that is re.
quired is the putting up of good, substantial
railing along the sides Several claims for dam
ages are now pending against the city for its
negligence in not providing these safeguards.
1t is really dangerous for person to walk along
there on dark night, for there is nothing to
prevent his falling into the water should he
stumble over some obstruction near the edge Of
the planking.
