Harriet Prescott Spofford, in Harper's
Bazaar
Upon the door-stone sat the wife,
The twilight falling,
And far below the whippoorwills
We're softly calling
The sweet winds dropped upon their Wav
Their hOneyed plumber
And slow and clear the night built up
Its house of wonder.
Within, the child dreamed deep. and saw
Four angels keeping
Their gentle watch with dropping wings
About his sleep.
While singing from the steep below,
Where shadows slumbered
Her true loved climbed. and in his heart
His treasures numbered.
And signing family to herself
With purest pleasure,
Life hrimmed at her life to full
O'ernowing measure.
She marVeled If the happy earth
This summer even,
Were not the paved work laid before
The courts of heaven.
And yet, a cold wind from the cloud
To snatch in blowing
The little breath between the lips
So lightly flowing.
a pebble underfoot where sheer
The rock descended
All, fate, What slender chances held
Her heaven suspended,

What Japan Really said.
From the chicago Record Qnd).

The most plausible and probably the
most accurate version of the Japanese re-
ply is that the rnikado declined with
thanks the offer Of the United States to
act as mediator In the war and explained
that he could not listen TO any PROPOSE
tons for peace until CHINA cried
enough and raised the white flag At the
same time he did not desire to continue
the war any longer than was absolutely
necessary and would be very glad II the
United States would convince China that
further resistance on her part was hope
less and would only lead to useless
slaughter and destruction of propertN

WORK on the Panama canal.

The fact that work has been re-
summed on the Panama canal at
tracts very little attention at Pan
anna or elsewhere. Nobody seems
to think that there is any in
tcntion on the part of the company
now in charge OF the canal to complete
it. In fact, the company has very little
money. What its purpose is no one
seems to know. The impression seems to
be- however that 1t is seeking an ex-
tension of the concession it has from the
Columbian government AS soon as that
is secured. assuming that it will be Sc
cured work will cease altogether and
efforts win be made to revive interest in
the undertaking. With a view of getting
capitalists to put money into it,
The Isthmians have very little conf
dence in the French as canal builders.
They would like the Americans to take
hold of the canal The American
Dredging Company did most of the work
already done. The French did very little
of it.
There is not much probability, however,
that Americans will waste any money
on the Panama canal At present they
are regarding with much greater favor
the Nicaragua canal, which is much more
likely to be built The money that has
been put into the Panama canal is lost.

gress He is quite sure that his defeat
was a rebuke TO the sound money ele-

It is understood that a North of Eng

parties in Sumter county, in this state
with regard to the purchase OF 5000 acres
of land in that county upon which to
plant colony of English farmers. II
the terms upon which the land can be
bought prove satisfactory, the English
man says that he and some 200 of his
friends viii move to Georgia. Il is TO be
hoped that the Sumter county people in
the trade win make such terms that they
cannot be refused. Two hundred intel
ligent English farmers in Southwest Geor-
gia would be Of great benefit to the Sec
ton, and within year or two each would
be a Georgia immigration agent The
