AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

As sweet as love first spoken.
 And fair as the lily's pose. She standss sn the window looking out When the day is at its close. She's half concealed in the curtain. And l. in the twilight haze. Am watching the sunis last splendor die And tint her cheek with its rays. Her eyes. like a limpid current. Reflect while past me steal The calm of a heart inured to pain, Or the peace of . promised veal. fancy her lips like rose leaves, Fresh curled at the wake of day, When the dew comes out from the sv vess
 lawn grass
 To honey them with its spray. Her throat's adorned by Q necklace, She must Do dressed for the ball, And, too, her coiffure Is powdersd whi,s, And OCT her shoulders a shawl The sun has sunk fin its scttinS- That circle which bands the skies And siiily drop tho curtains of night Till my vision thumbs my eyes. But still she does not see me Intent on my cv'ning star. Like a Venus there in the new moon,s iichs She beams so near and yet SO far. When. To. the room is lighted, And the candelabra's gleam Rev calls a ''statuer of Venus thcre- "Alf things are not what they seem.-

 About 10 o'clock in the forenoon tho big sergeant returned from his trip across the creek and lay down on his blankets in tho October sun to have a smoke, and for half an hour ho kept up a conversation with the three or four of us who were sitting about as we cleaned our guns or mendcd our clothing. By and by his pipe fell from his lips, and he slept. We continued to talk, but in lower tones, as is tho rule of the camp. He may have slept 20 min uttes when was about to start up. In- stinctively or unconsciously, glanced at the man on the blankets and almost screamed out in terror.
 Ten feet from his head was sagc bush, with a mat of grass about its roots. A monster rattlesnake had crawled from this bush and curled itself up on the blankets directly beside the sergeant's left arm. There was not more than an inch of space between serpent and arm.

MANY of our contemporaries al
most assume hysterical attitude
in their urgent cry that the Wilson
bill should be railroaded through
the Senate without due considera-
ton. These emotional gentleman
should reflect upon the fact that
the U. s. Senate is not made that
way. 1t is not an emotional body
that goes off at a tangent, without
due reflection as to the results of
its action 1t is u deliberate body
and it is well that it is so. A craze
or a sentiment often of a fictitious
nature never disturbs its equili-
brium. The senate is giving the
Wilson bill due consideration at
this time, and when they are
through with their labors in that
direction, will enact a measure that
will commend ITSELF to the varied
interests of this vast country. they
could not perform this labored
task in day or a week. They
must be allowed u reasonable time
in which to perform this important
work. 1t is true, as our emotional
cotemporaries aver, that the tariff
question must be settled before the
business world can adjust itself to
its changed schedule. While such
is the case, however, it is no reason
why q makeshift should be rushed
through, which is unsatisfactory to
the party and people, solely that the
matter might be settled for a short
period only. The tariff should be
so adjusted as to afford ample
funds for the needs of the govern
ment economically administered,
and at the same time with such
fairness to the people as to elimi-
ate it as an issue in party politics
for years to come. The business
interests can much better afford a
little more suspense and have the
matter definately settled, than to
be confronted with a continuous
unsettled condition of the question.
Give us tariff reform as laid down
in the Chicago platform and no
successful issue can be made
against it for years to come.

A Remedy for the Grip.

A remedy recommended for pa
tients afflicted with the grip is
Kemp's Balsam, which is especial
ly adapted to diseases of the throat
and lungs. Do not wait for the
first symptosm of the disease, but
get a bottle and keep it on hand
for use the moment it is needed.
If neglected the grip has a tend
ency to bring on pneumonia. All
druggists sell the Balsam.
