THE OLD
Ivenir OF the bygone years,

A souvenir Of the bygone years,
Breathing old odors faint as musk
Which roses spill in dew and dusk;
It's blazoned pages dulled b tears;
Its faded Cupid dropping low,
With broken wing and rusty bow;
A leaf of life turned old and scar,
Yet still she holds Ii sweet and dear
For love embalms each simple line
OF that old, faded valentine.
She pores upon the cherished page
A lily past her morning GLOW,
But fair as In the long ago.
To such as she what matters age,
Whose love is ageless, and whose truth
Makes in her soul eternal youth?
Still u~nforgotten kisses thrill
With rapture her swift pulses; still
She cries: How bright this world would be
Could you, o Love, come back to me,
AS once my own and only mine,
Ny bonny knight and yalentine!
The fault was mine-oh, hapless fate!-
To learn our needs and blame too late,
When prayers and tears canno atone
For wrong and sorrow dealt u own!'
But, 10, q tread Of eager feet
Presages something strange and sweet!
He comes, forgiven, to forgive!
Sweetheart, 10 love that is 10 live,
And love like ours can never die"
Nor need to voice her hearts reply!
More eloquent the dumb, dear sign
OF that long treasured valentine.

An Acrobatie Shine.

The man was tall and lank, with keen
blue eyes, looking over a nose like par
rot's beak. A shaggy growth of Uneven
whiskers sprOuted in patches from his
face, and he wore a long drao ulster,
which partly covered a huge pair of mud
covered topboots, into which were stuffed
the ends of a varicolored pair of overalls.
With a badly worn carpet gripsick in
his hand he leaned against the wire fence
beside the registers Office and called a
bootblack.
Two Italians responded, and each
claimed the customer. After a vOlley Of
Mulberry street explosives each grabbed
a foot and set TO work. The man eyed
them closely and clutched his grip a lit
tie tighter. In a moment the bootblacks
renewed their dispute, and in their anger
yanked the mans feet in the air. For a
moment he poised, balanced on the wire,
and then with a whoop fell backward
upon the withered grass plot. A crowd
collected, and the Italians scampered oil.
Their victim, with one boot shined and
the other muddy, picked himself up
slowly.
Gosh" he muttered, maybe them
ere fellers knowed l kept bills in my
boots, or else they were burned hard up
fer work"
He assembled the steps TO the bridge
and was soon swallowed in the crowd

Our Position In the Pacific Ocean
Even more ~puzzlIng to European

Even more pulling to European
observers than our languId indiffer-
ence as to the great chance that is
ours to benefit u own country and
at the same time to promote the
worlds prosperity and civilization
by taking in hand the interoceanic
ship passage, has been our policy,
or rather our contradictions and
paradoxes of policy, regarding the
paradise of the Pacific" No
European statesman would for a
moment make himself so ridiculous
in the eyes of all his compeers as to
deny the proposition that annexa-
ton to the United States would
prove an incalculable blessing to all
the people and all the interests of
Hawaii, and at the same time an
advantage Of the most positive char
acter to the United States. The
suggestion that there could be any
hopeless difficulty in reconciliating
the anne xation of Hawaii with our
American political system and struc-
ture, would to foreign statesman be
tantamount to a confession of intel
lectual f~eebleness akin to total
lmbecjlity. The United States will
sacrifice much of it's claim to the
respect of the world if 1T stupIdly
and i~ngloriously abdicates its clear
opportunity to acquire a leading
and beneicient influence in the
Pacific ocean. -From"The Progress

A Practicable Irrigation Scheme.

There has been expended not less
than $500, 000, 600 in irrigating the
arid lands of the west. There re
main fully half a billion acres IN
the western states and territories
which would become richly produc-
tive If supplied with water-50,.
600, 600 each in Arizona, California,
Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and
Idaho, 5000, 900 in Montana, the
rest being distributed through the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas,
Colorado and New Mexico. When
the enterprises were first under
taken ia Colorado and California
their promoters found that it was
much easier to float irrigation bonds
in Europe than in the United
States. Europe understood the
need and method of irrigation in a
practical way, and England had in
Egypt and India and France In
northern Africa a good object les
son.
The interior department of the
United States is understood to have
given its approval TO the bills which
Senator Carey of Wyoming has
recently introduced, to provide for
a government experiment IN the
arid belt. The bill provides that
each state shall select and reserve
one million acres Of it's arid lands
on the condition that at least three
dollars per acre shall be expended
within three years for the purposes
of irrigation. The United States
would in this way indirectly but
effectively make the experiment OF
irrigation. The building of irriga'
tion works Is expensive, costing
from So to $50 an acre. When t
is impossible to secur large bodies
of land the cost may be kept down
to a few dollars an acre, as has been
the case in California and Colorado
where lands have been procured
under the old Spanish land grants
on favorable terms and great irriga,
tion canals built. Under the Carey
bill there would be -, 200, 900 acres
turned over to the states and terri,
tories out of a total of 529, 900. OOC
acres, but if the experiment sue
ceeded the general government,
would undoubtedly make further
grants to the states. Council Bluffs

REEDS OPINION.

He Sizes up the Amendments from
the Senate Finance Committee.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, authorizes
following concerning the tariff
amendments made public Tuesday.
The presentation by the senate
finance committee of 81 pages of
amendments, apparently more than
400 In number, is a delicate COM
pliment to Mr. Wilson and the house
OF representatives. 1t virtually
says that the house bill was right,
except OIL 400 or 500 points, and
that the senate committee, after u
months work find 400 mistakes in
their own bill. This will hardly
tend to restore confidence in the
country, especially as every amend
ment smacks OF either prior lgnor.

impossible that a document 20
constructed a to show traffic in
every item, should be permitted to
see daylight in n batch. 1t W., Id
have been wiser to have let the
matter come before the country item
by item rather than agglomerate
the dreadful total IN one bunch.
Evidentl, it will be the duty of the
senate to fully investigate these pro.
posed amendments, for when a
committee OF finances refuses hear
ing because in knows intituiuely all
things, but finds by some kind of
backstairs influence that it has made
400 mistakes, 1t is evident that the
acommittee will bear watching.

Fast ColOrs.

a useful point is made by a writer in
The Economist in regard to the term
''fast c~olors,' as applied to printed and
woven cOttons. The rule IS laid down
that the more delicate III shade a dye is
the more difficult it is TO fix it in the cot
ton fiber, but even the Crudest colors will
fade if goods are imperfectly treated in
the laundry. Any of the goods, in fact,
that are sold as fast colope whether of
domestic OF foreign manufacture, are
practically fast, but when subjected to
the powerful chemicals of which many Of
the washing soaps are composed, or when
hung out for hours on a clothesline and
exposed t the bleaching influences of
sun and air, the colors must necessarily
fade to a greater or less extent. 1t is
well known that the chemicals con
tanned in washing soaps and similar
compounds are in many cases as power
full as those employed in the process of
bleaching muslins. In not a few in
stances, too, they are probably Of a
greater degree of strength, the result
being that they weaken the cloth to an
extent that the bleacher would not be
disposed to risk.

Royal German Dinners.

a characteristic of all dinners given tc
the court and military officials by the en-
peror and empress of Germany is that
there is always provided a dish Of sweet
meats, which holds as well pictures Of
the royal pair and their children, each
bonbon having a likeness painted upo /
it. And when the hosts retire there is
something approaching a scramble among
the dignified officers and functionaries
for one of these much valued souvenirs
to take home to equally eager wives and
daughters .-Ncw York Times.

The latest swindle 10 be worked
on the farmers, according to an ex-
change, is as follows: A smooth
stranger representing himself to be
a government officer calls on the
farmer and demands that he submit
his coins for inspection and test to
ascertain if he has any spurious
coins in his possession. The stran-
ger usually selects one or two pieces
which he says looks ''susplclous'
submits them to the test of a LIQUID
he has which turns them black, and
he then alleges they are spurious.
OF course the farmer has no right
to carry counterfeit money. and the
stranger in his capacity of a govern
ment official, walks off with the
coin. 1t is stated that the swindle
is being worked quite extensively.
