TWILIGHT IN THE OZARkS.

Oh, the twilight how brilliant and glowing,
How sweet o er the Ozarks it's sheen
My joy is exultant and flowing
AS the last rays Of sunlight are seen.
Visions celestial awaken
AS view with rapture the sky,
AS If mortal immortality had taken
And sojourning in orbits on high.
Silver moon-beams with starlight are mingling
Aurora is penciling the west,
While sun-glows, caressing, lingering,
Give Arkansaw twilight Its zest
Darkness through the mountains is streaming
AS my thoughts in exhuberance flow,
On, is it of Elysium I'm dreaming
AS the heavens are with beauty aglow?
The wind through the pine tree is signing,
The streamlets are laughing below,
My love for Nature undying
Softly tempers life's SORROW and woe.
Now sun-streaks, like pinions distending,
Seem kissing the moon in their flight.
The shadows o'er the Ozarks extending
Leaves me to sweet slumbers-good night.

ly, Judging from his complexion, not a
pure Caucasian. With much complais-
ance he was entertaining some ladies
grouped about one of the refreshments
stands so numerous in the Park. Think
ing that he did not exhibit all the dig
nifty that supposed belonged to the
famous Fred. determined to settle the
doubt by asking him direct question.
Accordingly I approached him, and
with as much politeness as l could COM
mand and with the proper apology for
interrupting his conve rsation with the
ladies, thus addressed him: care
you Fred Douglas ?'' He replied, "My
mother called me Frederick, sir"
"Well,o said I, "there is man pretty
we'll known by the world as Fred Doug
las-are you the noted Fred? ?" "Well,
yes" said he, 81 suppose l an-don' t
I look noted ?" Seeing that Frederick
was disposed to be more facetious than
communicative. l cleft him alone in his
glory"
| may be excused for giving attention
to Douglas because he is one of the
noted characters of the country. He
was born in Maryland in 1878. His
mother was negro slave, but his ia
ther was white man. Until he was
ten years old, he lived on a plantation;
at that age he was taken to Baltimore
There he learned to read and write In
1888 he ran away, making his way to
Massachusetts. There he changed his
name from Bailey to Douglass. W. L.
Garrison, the famous abolitionist, met
him, and being impressed with his in.
telligence and yearning for knowledge
aided him in his efforts to educate him
self
At one time he was agent of the
Massachusetts, Anti, Slavery Society,
and as such lectured with great elo
quence through the New England
States. Fearing that the prominence
thus given him, would lead to his cap
ture, and return to slavery, he went t,
Europe, and for year spent his tim,
lecturing in England, Ireland, ant
Wales. In 1916 some friends purchas
ed his freed ON for $3.50. In 1850 b.
was accused Of eomplicacy in the Joh1
} Brown raid on Harper's Ferry, Va, bu
he fled to England. He has held i'm
portant positions. At one time he wa
U. S. Marshal for the District of Co.
lumbia; afterwards became recorde
of deeds. Now l understand he is ricf
man and man Of leisure, with whit,
wife. These facts about Frederick arr
a part of the history of the country.

Blown Up with Dynamite.

CAMDEN, ARK, Aug. 23.-A hut occu-
pied by a negro family was blown up
with dynamite last night at Bearden.
The husband was terribly injured, his
legs being torn from his body. Several
children We're also injured. Officers
from this city at once went to the scene
and made arrests. The report is that
the negro knew too much about the Jus.
tice assassination at Beaf.len.

Half Million Dollar Fire in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-One hundred and
forty buildings were burned, vast
quantity of coal destroyed, and half a
million dollars losses caused by fire
which swept over five blocks of South
Chicago last evening. Hundreds of
people were rendered homeless and five
persons injured, but not fatally.
The fire started in the dwelling of
Master Mechanic William GILES of the
rolling mills of the Illinois Steel Com
pany and was due to the overturning of
lamp which Miss GILES was using
about 4:3O O'Clock to heat curling iron.
A high breeze was blowing from the
west and. as all the buildings in that
vicinity were of frame, the flames were
soon beyond control and in less than
two hours all the structures between
the point of origin of the fire and the
lake shore We're in flames.
The property in the line of the fire
consisted largely of one and two story
dwellings occupied by workingmen of
the Illinois Steel Company, and very
few OF the occupants were able to save
their household goods. The total loss
to these people in dwelling and other
property is $196, 500,
! While the flames were raging there
was wild confusion in every section.
Men and women and children tried st
first to save what they could but were
nearly all driven away by the flames.
All the fire engines of the suburb were
powerless and assistance was asked
from the city and all the spare engines
we're sent out together with the fire boat
Yosemite. These we,e used largely in
saving the lumber yards and Baltimore
& Ohio railway shops.
The docks Of the Sunday Greek Coal
Company, on which were stored 100,
600 tons Of coal. were soon ablaze as
weie also the docks of the Beck Lumber
Company. By hurculean efforts, how
ever. the fremen succeeded.in saving
most of the lumber.
Last night hundreds of people whose
homes had been destroyed were taken
in charge by the people of the district
not burned over and not one was home
less, nor was there any necessity for
calls of relief.
The burned district is north of the
river. Insurance adjusters were busy
today among the ruins. 1t was found
that 131 homes had been swept away.
The district burned abounded in one
and two story frame dwellings, the av-
age cost OF which was 81 800. Most of
the owners were insured, though very
few carried insura ance on their personal
effects.

The Cherokee Strip.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-The president
has issued a proclamation opening to
settlement and homestead entry on Sat
urday, Sept. 16, all the lands except
those specifically reserved recently ac-
quired from the Cherokee Nation and
the Tonkaw and Pawnee tribes in the
Indian Territory known as the Chero-
kee outlet. The lands now opened to
settlement are divided into seven coun-
ties, from OK" to go" inclusive and
their boundaries are described in detail.
In six of these county seats four acres
are reserved for the site of court house,
to be designated by a lot shown upon
the Official plat Of said reservation for
county seat purposes, hereinafter to be
issued by the commissioner of the gem
eral land office, the reservations for
parks, school land and other purposes
required to be made Ey section % of the
act of May 2, 1890
In counties s'M", "N'', go" and "P'
and in addition to the four-acre reser-
vations for county seat purposes, there
is an additional reservation of one
acre site for land office. The land
offices for the districts are to be located
at the towns after which the districts
are named.
AS to the terms of payment, the act
under which the outlet is opened to set
tlemept provides as follows:
each settler of these lands opened
to settlement is, aforesaid before re-
receiving patent for his homestead, to
pay to the United States for the lands SO
taken by him, in addition to the fees
provided by law, the sum of $3.50 per
acre for any land east Of 81 l-2 degrees
west longitude; the sum of $l.50 per
acre for any land between 81 1-2 and
9S IL degrees west longitude, and the
sum of 81 per acre for any land west of
SO l-2 degrees west longitude; and shall
also pay interest upon amount so to be
paid for said land from the date of en-
try to date Of final payment there
for at the rate of four per cent. per
annum.

The Huntington Letter.

Los Angeles Express: Fortunately for
all concerned, President G. z. Hunting
ton of the Southern Pacific Company
takes humane and sensible view OF the
settler land matter, judging from his let
ter of instructions TO the officers of the
company in San Francisco, as published
in the papers of that city. These instruc-
tiOns are virtually to make settlements
with the defeated litigants, not upon the
basis of the great values which the lands
possess to-day, but upon that of their
original value when they were unsettled
and in wild state.
Humboldt Standard: This decision on
the part of G. P Huntington is worthy of
all commendatiOn. 1t places him before
the people i'll light quite different from
that in which he is usually painted by the
press OF the State, and gives US d view of
the man which does credit to his better
manhood. 1t may be said that this is
simply an act of justice. Granted. But
how many people have we in this selfish
world who, having won a case in the
highest courts OF the land, would exer-
else equal forbearance? Whatever else
may be said by those who can give the
railroad company no word of praise, this
act is one of a generous nature and de-
serves recognition by the press and peo-
pie of the State.
The intimation contained in the letter
that the settlers can hope for no relief
from the Government is based upon facts
of history, but the Standard hopes that it
may not prove true in this instance. Con-
gress should lose no time in righting this
matter. 1t is but simple act of justice
for the Government to restore to these
settlers the purchase price of the lands
which it sold them.

and interesting. The beds are built in
tiers like ships emigrants' quarters. One
side of each tiny bunk is closed, with
hinged doors or shutters, opening to q
passage way, where the female servants
could make the clerks beds without en-
tering their rooms!
y ou will also see in this ancient Han
seattle house great mum Der of strange
relics of daily use in this ancient and
powerful mOney-grabbing community
Among them are huge candleStlcks, cab
bage-chopping. machines, curious cod
liver oil lamps, lanterns, metal wash
bowls, mammoth long-stemmed pipes,
slaves with bags for church collections
for these old robbers were pious as
shrewd, strong boxes, bound with brass
and iron, arms of the leaguers, and even
open ledgers recording their mighty
gains. Ones fancy conjures Rembrandt
pictures here, and you long for some TO-
nance master to see and seize and set IL
enduring page the hardness, sterneSs and
often the hopeless pathos of this grim old
trade cOnventual life.
There is also an interesting district OF
Bergen lying between the Strandgade and
the harbor. One never tires OF this, for
narrow thOroughtares lead down to the
bay, in which are strange projecting
roofs, huge diamOnd-paned windows,
shadOwy cOlOnnadeS, clumsy balconies
and drowsy echoes Of endless waterside
traffic. On the Strandgade itself there
are snowy shops to barter in, ancient
shops into which curiOuSly-carved stairs
ascend or descend, and museum-like
shops where old silver, Norway carved
woods, furs and all odd manner of keep
sakes may be bought. 1t is here that all
day long-and nearly all night long, for
it is still daylight in Bergen summer
time between IL and Y o'clock at night
throngs. Among them are the peasantry,
from Saeterdal, from Hardinger, from
Thelemark, from Evanger and from the
outlying islands. These more than all
else give color and character to ancient
Bergen town, and you grow impatient to
follow them over the mountains to their
lonely homes among the somber tiords,
beside the misty waterfalls and within
the slumberous upland dals.

THE OLD SILVER DOLLAR.

How dear to our hearts is the old silver dollar,
When Saturday evenings present thee to
view;
OF all other blessings you beat them all holler.
And make us feel happy where we once felt
so blue.
With the phases of life you so well cOmmingle,
You come up still brighter at every new call;
We reach in our pockets and smile when you
jingle
The old silver dollar we love best of all.
The great politicians all make such a clatter,
And over the silver they tumble and fuss;
Too much silver? Why, what is the matter ?
We've never found out that there's too much
for us,
The dollar now looks to us bigger than ever.
It's virtues to mankind We'll ever eXtol,
Let all other blessings desert US forever,
But give us the dollar we love best of all.

A Record Breaker.

It is not easy to predict what will hap
pen with our ocean steamers next. Here
is the Lucania, the new Cunarder, on her
second trip, wrestling the western record
from the Paris and reducing it to days
18 hours and % minutes.
This remarkable trip is made, too, at
an uncertain season Of the year, when
five or six days of sustained fast running
cannot be safely counted on. But the
wonderful part of these performances is
that they are no longer exceptional
events, but are kept up with as much
regularity as the sailing of the boats on
their appointed days,
There is now fleet on the Atlantic
line whose arrival in New York within
six days after leaving the other side is
scarcely problematical. The only ques-
ton is will the record of few hours
over five days be beatenP
The Cunarders now hold the laurels.
But the Paris belongs to an American
line, and it will not be her fault if she
does not recover them. = New York
