Beside my hearth, in genial glow Of hcas,
close my book Of song and legend old
TO hear the ancient minstrel OF the cold
Recite his saga with the rhythmic beat,
Against the wlndow-panes, OF Ruuic sleet.
He came at set OF sun across the void
with chilly winds-his brothers, warrior
bold
That whirl late leaves unto their last defeat
And pound upon belated sails at sea.
He chants the dirgc of Balder lying low,
This minstrel boar, the while l listen Reen,
Applaud his numbers, swelling sad and free,
Then turn once more unto my book and
grow
Oblivious, wandering through some mead

Among the 65, 900, 900 people in tho
United States, the Chicago Herald
thinks there are probably not 500 out
side of the locality who are aware that
at the mouth of the Mississippi there
is little village built upon wooden
piles standing far out into the water.
This village, which is called Balize,
is reached from the mainland by
canoes or boats, and its inhabitants
have to climb a kind of pole ladder to
get to the doorways of their homes.
This is probably the only place in the
United States in which ''pile dwell
ings" occur, but all along the Venezue-
Ian coast and at the mouths of the Ori-
noco and the Amazon, similar villages
are frequently met with, many of them
inhabited by the Indian fishing tribes
of the Amazon estuary.

1t appears, according to the regis
tration report of Massachusetts,, that
nearly twice as many women as men
in that State live to be over eighty
years of age. This is accounted for,
explains the Chicago Herald, by the
greater exposure of men to accidents,
TO weather agencies, to the constant
strain of business life, to the anxiety
of providing for the family, all of
which tend to shorten the life of men.
The deaths by accident among men are
more than three-fold greater than
among women and men commit suicide
in about three-fold ratio as compared
with women.

LADY BUTroN-EYE Es,

When the busy day is dono
And my weary little cne
Rooketh gently TO and fro
When the nlght4wlnds softly blow
And the crlckets 10 the glen
Chirp and chirp and chirp again
When upon the haunted green
Fairies dance around their queen
Then from yonder misty skies
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
Through the murk and mist and gloam
To our quiet, cosy home,
Where TO singing, sweet and low,
Rocks cradle to and fro;
Where the clocks dull monotone
Telleth OF the day that's done;
Where the moonbeams hover DER
Playthings sleeping on the floor
Where my weary wee one lies
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
Cometh like fleeting ghost
From some distant eerie coast
Never football can you hear
As that spirit fareth near
Never whisper, never word
From that shadow-queen is heard.
In ethereal raiment digit,
From the realm of fay and sprite
In the depth OF yonder skies
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
Layeth she her hands upon
My dear weary little one,
And those white hands, oversprea1
Like veil the curly head,
Seem TO fondle and caress
Every little silken tress
Then she smooths the eyelids down
Over those two eyes OF brown
In such soothing, tender wise
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes.
Dearest, feel upon your brow
That cnressing magic now;
For the crlckets in the glen
Chirp and chirp and chirp again,
While upon the haunted green
Fairies dance around their queen,
And moonbeams hover DER
Playthings sleeping on the floor
Hush, my sweet from yonder skies
Cometh Lady Button-Eyes

It is apparent to the Toledo (Ohio)
Commercial that the law must furnish
more severe penalties for the crimes of

These crimes nre becoming so numer-

severe punishment should be dealt out
when once the outlaws are brought TO

"Why is it, h" asked an elderly gen.
tleman who has been all over the world,
"that a young man will insist upon
having other people think he is a much
older man than he really is, and an old
man makes himself silly by trying to
pose as a young man? These are GER
tainly two extremes, but if you have
had any experience ut all, you will re-
cognize the fact that what say is true.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The Daily News says

to the fact that the board Of war has aban

I.yuchcrs.
VAN VERT, o., Nov. 6-Charlcs Hart,
aged Is, has h'on arrested, charged with
the murder of the two children of Farmer
Good near pnulding, O., whose mutilatcd
bodies were found yesterday. The boys
throat was cut from ear to car the girl
was dccapitatcd and disembowclcd, the
weapon being an AK. An attempt had been
made to burn the brush heap but it was
too wet. The theory is that the little girl
was outraged and the double murder COM
mitted TO ride the crime. A lynching is
feared
Young Hart says he cannot read or
write, does not know his age, and is very
nervous. When accused Of the crime he
denied it i'm a nervous way The bodies
were found within three rods of young
Hart's home and about half n mile from
the home of the children. The little boy
boots were found in the grass short dis
tance from the bodies. Their little hands
were tied together with piece of tarr, d
rope attached to billet Of wood, resem-
bling rough hewn pump handle IL is
thought this will furnish definite clew II
the boy is guilty. The murdered girl was
only years old, and her brother 8.
One of the grounds of suspicion against
Hart is that when the bodies were found
the boy discharged his gun and ran to his
home in an excited manner He was one
Of the searching party, and was far in the
7 distance when the children were found.
As soon as Hart was taken to the Pauld-
ing Jail a mob of 800 to 800 organized to
hang the prisoner at once, but were dis
suaded on pleas that the chances were
largely in favor OF the boys innocence,
and that the guilty party was still at large.
1t was evident that this argument would
hold the crowd off only till night came on
! and the sheriff watched his opportunity to
| spirit the prisoner away to the Jail at this
| place a distance of thirty miles. 1t is
| currently reported that the mob is coming
| from Paulding INTO Van Vert in such
| force that it cannot be resisted by the au
thorities here.
