A Dainty Love Song.
From the Crochet Castle.

In the days of old,
Lovers felt true passion,
DeeminR years of sorrow
By smile repaid.
Now the charms of gold,
Spells Of pride and fashion,
Bid them say good morrow
To the best loved maid.
Through the forests wild,
Ger the mountains lonely,
They we're never weary
Honor to pursue.
II the damsel smiled
Once in seven years only,
All their wanderings dreary
Ample guerdon knew.
Now one days caprice
Weighs down years Of smiling;
Youthful hearts are rovers,
Love is bought and sold,
Fortunes gifts may cease;
Love is less beguiling;
Wiser were the lovers
In the days of old.

PECULIAR PETITION
Presented by Senator Cockrell In the
United States Senate.

Presented by Senator Cockrell In the
United States Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Mr. Cockreu of
Missouri presented a petition in the SEN
ate this morning outside the usual run of
petitions. Mrs. Effie G. Snow of Shell
City, Mo-, represents that her daughter.
Lora Snow, aged 10 years, went TO Rich
field, Sewer County, Utah, and became a
teacher in the Presbyterian Mission
School. She died October 4, 1889, in cir
cumstances that cast grave doubt as to
the cause of her death. Mrs. Snow saws
she has been hampered and delayed in
getting at the facts relative to the death
and in recovering the body. It was
claimed that death was caused from tv-
phoid fever, and before she could return
to Missouri and secure proof that typhoid
fever was not contagious, she says the
body of her daughter had reached such a
condition that a medical examination
could not be made to determine the cause
and the manner of her death. Mrs. Snow
says this is not the only young woman
teacher whose body has been disposed of
in such q way as to leave a suspicion of
foul play. For this reason Mrs. Snow
asks an investigation of the manner in
which this mission is carried on, re-
quest in which the citizens of Shell Citv

PRESIDENT HARRISON.

He is Enjoying Perfect Health-wrn

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Little Martena
Harrison continues to improve, but the
White House is still quarantined, and big
placards containing information that con-
tagion exists within are displayed on the
entrance to the private part of the man
sion. When the quarantine against the
White House is removed, it is probable
that President Harrison will take few
days recreation in duck-shooting.
In view of a statement published that
President Harrison's health is falling.
and that he is likely to break down be-
fore his term of Office closes, Postmaster
General Wanamaker was questioned as
to the facts. He said the President was
in perfect health, and not in four years
has he been away from his desk single
day from personal sickness. He has for
months been out in a wilderness of suf-
fering, and the shadow of it fingers for a
long time upon a nature that feels as

Taken for Horsethieves,

1.-THE most pathetic scene l ever wit
nessed," said Judge R. l.. Cawthorn of
Texas, was a third of a century ago. but
it is as plain TO my eyes to-day as it was
then. We had been bothered with horse
thieves down on the frontier, and Won
know what that means in wild country.
A crowd of US started out after the
scoundrels, and just before we reached
the Rio Grande we saw two horsemen off
to the left who acted suspiciously. After
them we went, ana it was a pretty race
for awhile till they disappeared behind a
clump of trees. We had shot to stop
them, and when we got in sight again we
found that one horse had been shot and
they had deserted him, while both were
riding the other. They were evidently
Mexicans-a man and boy-and the
man showed tight, turning and firing at
US, finally hitting our Deputy Sheriff.
We gained on them rapidly, and pres
emily well-directed fire sent them all in
a heap. When we reached them the 'boy'
was kneeling in front of the dying Mexi-
can, sobbing and moaning as if her heart
would break, while her hair, which had
fallen from her cap, fell below her waist.
1t was case OF elopement, and they had
taken us for her fathers servants, while
we had been equally stupid and had
taken them for hOrsethieVes. When he
began to gasp she drew little pearl
handled revolver, and before anyone
codld think of stopping her placed the
muzZle under her ear and fell into his
arms, corpse. No, we never heard who
they were. We buried them and went
after the horsethieyes." st. Louis Globe

Consideration of the anti-option bill

ground of its unconstitutionality, and
that 1t invades the sovereignty of States

There was colloquy between Villas
and Washburn, who has charge of the
bill, in the course of which a question
was put to Washburn as to whether he
would accept an amendment that would
contine the operation of the measure to
operations which were absolutely gam
bling and in which there is to be no de-
livery, but the Minnesota Senator hesi-
tatingly declined to answer the question
