Hers to Keep.

A cold, gray dawn filled the eastern
sky with uncertain twilight.
Here and there feathered songster
piped tentatively, as if doubtful OF the
propriety of making such demonstration
as would lead the world to believe was
morning.
In the sleeping car solitary head in
curl papers might have been perceived
to protrude from the curtains of the third
berth from the end.
A pair of dark. soulful eyes pierced the
gloom.
The curtains swayed.
A form appeared, paused for an IN
slant and stole like a shadow along the
aisle.
The dark, soulful eyes ghttered with
triumph.
at is mine, it is mine!"
The form fitted into the dressing room,
slammed the door and piled furniture
against it.
And when the other women IN the car
heard the sound their hearts were heavy
with despair.
"Where, oh, where?" they moaned IN
anguish of spirit.
With the thought of tho day to come
their hearts grew bitter and they railed
against fate.-Detroit Tribune.

shiest of natures brood,

Shiest Of natures brood,
Retreating 70 the wood,
just at its edge refuge have ye found;
Like partridge chicks In fright.
Keeping yourselves from sight
Under the dry leaves covering the ground.
Ye would not shrink so much
From our fond sight and touch
II only our hearts feelings could be known,
We wait with watching eyes
To mark your mild surprise
That, coming early, ye come not alone.
The bluebird yesterday
Came flying home this way
He piped his very sweetest song Of you;
In fullest faith and love
We are now here TO prove
That bluebirds prophecy shall turn out true.
We push the leaves away.
And there In silken gray
Has nature tenderly wrapped up your forms;
Open for us your eyes.
Look to the April skies,
Blue as In summer after heavy storms.
Within the opening lid
A thought of blue is hid
A memory Of heavens watched long ago;
A dream ye fondly kept
Al that long night ye slept
Beneath the downy coverlets of snow.

Medical intelligence.

Colonel Witherspoon, to whom we
have frequently referred to as the
meanest man in Harlem, has been in
poor health for some months past. The
principal cause of his feebleness is his
unwiliingness to feed himself with suf-
ficient copiousness.

the air he met DIR. Perkins Soonover:
Witherspoon thought this was good
chance to get some medical advice with

HAD AN ELEGANT TIME.
The Illinois House Spends IA Session in
Uproar-


SPRINGFIELD, April 14.-In the house
yesterday the senatorial apportionment
bill came up and with it a beautiful row
that wasted the whole day and resulted in
nothing being done. The speaker ruled
that the apportionment bill was privileged
to be read first time and always in or
der. The Republicans opposed calling it
up at all, and when the speaker refused
to listen to them grew wild. Later they
demanded the yeas and nays on motion
to refer, and this the speaker took no no
tice of, although there We're enough on
their feet to demand roll-call and more
After long talk finally the speaker per-
mitted a roll-call saying that there had
been so much confusion that he did not
know what was demanded Then the Re-
publicans filibustered until the Democrats
obtained enough members to adjourn.
Before the row began resolution was
adopted for IA constitutional amendment
to permit the legislature to regulate land
control contracts, conditions and relations
existing or arising from time to time be-
tween corporations and their employees"
There were only these negative votes:
Callahan, Creighton, Cusey, Dow, Guftin.
Hawks, McCrone McMurdy, Ramsey. and
Wilson of Sangamon.
In the senate the electric Zig hit plant bill
was passed-3S to s. The congressional re-
apportionment bill was also passed by
strict party voter to 81. The general
appropriation bill was advanced to third
reading. The governor sent in a communl-
cation from the southern prison trustees
asking for an emergency appropriation OF
81 600 to meet a deficiency.

ED" WAS SERENE AND SMILING,
But Slightly Anxious as to Developments
Hope for shorts

But Slightly Anxious as to Developments
Hope for shorts.
There was very little of interest yester-
day in the May deal. Every body was given
a breathing spell and an opportunity to
get up more margins. Partridge came on
the floor early. He was serene and smil-
ing. but could not thoroughly conceal the
anxiety showing beneath his calm exterior
This anxiety became more apparent as the
day advanced. There was, however, no
immediate cause for alarm. The bull
leaders, confident of ultimate success, were
well satisfied to see sag in the price of
the May future.
Bulls Liked the Decline.
A decline served them double purpose
1t permitted Partridge to get up stake
better worth fighting for and to put the
price down to a point where it would not
be a target for every holder of wheat to
direct his aim against. To this end no
support was gwen the May future. The
first sale at S6-a decline over night of y
cent-was sufficient to demonstrate that
buyers were scarce.
Ray of Hope for Shorts.
A bit of news which came to the mariue
interest on the board gave a faint ray of
hope for the shorts. II was the announce
ment that the straits of Mackinac were
clear of ice and open for vessels. Follow
ing this was the announcement that the
Chicago grain fleet, containing nearly
1900, DOC, 900 bushels of grain. would move
out Tuesday next

Dor than the Milwaukee fleet will be in at

The low grade wheat, the corn and the
oats will go out to make room for the con-
tract wheat to be delivered to the bull
leaders, the blockades at the cleaning and
mixing warehouses will be raised and the
work of making contract wheat in whole
sale quantities will be resumed full blast

A Dozen Cyclones and the Death and
Havoc They Worked.
ST. LOUIS, April 14.-Tidings It'll come
in from counties in Missouri of the ruin
wrought by the storm of Thursday night.
Instead of one general cyclone sweeping a
broad area there seems to have been a
dozen of greater or less violence and they
spread desolation and death wherever they
descended. Lafayette, Dent, Boone, Craw-
ford, Franklin and Linn counties, lying in
the very richest portion of the state, suf-
fered most, although the territory where
damage was done and lives were lost is not,
confined by state, much less by county
lines.
The list of dead thus far obtained is as
follows: In Hawkins Bank there were
seven persons killed names given in these
dispatches yesterday. In Lexington the
dead are as follows: Mrs John Luke, "
Luke, Anna Walker, Farris Walker, un-
known negro boy. In Stanbury: Mrs

Islands. She brings information that the
American flag that has fioated over the
government buildings since the protect
crate was declared by Minister Stevens
was hauled down April l. Mr.. Blount on
April had conference with the provi-
sional leaders, at which he assured them
that neither Japan nor any other power
would be permitted to land troops to
menace the government.
Since then there has been considerable
excitement, but nothing has occurred to
cause disturbance. The provisional troops
are sufficient TO guard against any at
tempts of the Hawaiian to upset the govern
ment. Commissioner Blount ordered the
flag hauled down. This has paralyzed the
annexationists.

DESTRUCTION OF RosINsoNvlLLE.
Seventeen Killed and Fifty Wounded
Lists of Victims.

MEMPHIS, April 14-Late news shows
that Robinsonville, Miss, a small town
twenty miles south of Memphis, was en-
tireiy demolished by cyclone Wednesday
evening. Seventeen people are killed and
half a hundred wounded. A few minutes
after the tomato struck the town fire
broke out in the debris of Chinese laun-
dry and the mass of wreckage caught and
burned all night and yesterday. Several
bodies of those killed by the falling houses
were burned to a crisp. Two clouds, one
from the east and one from the west, met
over the town and then began a rotary
motion, which tore up houses and snapped
huge trees like reeds. The cyclone moved
west from the Mississippi distance of
seven miles and swept all before it.
Mrs. Emma Lusk, wife of the operator,
was in her home with her husband and
three children. The husband got ont, the
woman was killed, and the three children
blown 100 yards through the air They were
naked when found, but uninjured. Isaac
Chapman was caught under the ruins of
his house, and crushed and burned along
with three other negroes, whose names are
unknown. The body of an old negress was
found yesterday in an open field. 1t is
probable she was dropped there by tn,
wind. The property losa in the town will
reach 500. 900. Thirteen stores, six resi-
dences, three churches, and 100 negro cab
ms were destroyed. The killed are: Mrs
Emma Lusk, wife of the night operator;
Rev r. r. Ship, Of Olive Branch, Miss;
Ben Ray and mother; Annie Speight;
three children of Manuel Murray; Jere
Taylor's infant; William Warren; Maria
Smith; Isaac Chapman; four unknown.

leading streets are practically impassa BILE.
Trees, roofs, bricks, the frame work of
dwellings, furniture and every conceivable
thing are piled one upon another. Horses
are being employed to haul away up-rooted
trees, men are chopping and digging in
every direction, the dismantled roofs are
lined with busily employed men, and
women and children are sitting and stand
ing about in front of their desolate homes.
Business is almost entirely suspended, the
inhabitants seeming to be unable to settle
themselves to the ordinary duties of life.

FUN ON THE BOARD,
Chicago Bulls Go Fishing for
Shorts in Wheat.
SEEM TO HAVE LANDED A WHALE,

Which His Name Is c. A. PiIlsbury-Said
to Have Had to Go to Cudahy for Terms
which Net Good Sized Loss-A Breath
ing Spell in the Pit and a Ray of Hope
for the Bears from the Mackinac
Straits.
CHICAGO, April It'd Partridge, the
plucky plunger, who has weathered many
n severe speculative storm, did not cover
his short wheat yesterday. He was given
a breathing spell and permitted to get
more margins up where the bull dealers
could see and perchance play for them
later. If the trade was disappointed in
not seeing commercial tragedy it was
not left out on farce-comedy. The details
leaked out slowly and painfully in the
fashion peculiar to events which have
great safeguards TO secrecy thrown around
them, but when tie facts did become
known they convulsed the whole trade with
merriment.
Found They Had a Whale.
1t was discovered that when the inexor-
able dragnet thrown out for short sellers
was pulled upon the beach there was
found fioundering among the minnows a
much larger fish. His identity was not
discovered until the fishermen had turned
him over and looked at his scales-his short
scales. They then gave loud guffaw and
GATED their fish, 1t was none other than c.
A Pillsbury, the hater of short sellers. The
debonnair Charles arrived in the city
Wednesday with his cash wheat man.
The latter is an expert, and artist in his
line, and was brought down here to find
out why the wheat shipped here did not
grade. The outfit was prepared to raise
all manner of sheol will the inspection de-
partment for not passing the Minneapolis
wheat in OH Chicago contract grade.
Heavy Loss for Pillsbury.
Mr. Pillsbury, however, suddenly "got
busy" when May wheat opened at 90 cents
that. day, and, like many others, he too
walked across the bridge of signs" to the
Rialto building, where Cudahy gave him
terms on a round lot of the much despised
wind" The line covered was about l.
OOO, 600 bushels, but the brokers in their joy
magnified the quantity to 5000, 900 bushels.
AS the stuff was sold here when Minneapo-
lis wheat was going in the sixties and Chi
cago was "out of line" in the seventies, it
is presumable that Pillsbury got "in line"
for good sized loss.
