undecaying wood or material are

Leave me here those looks of yours
All those pretty airs and lures:
Flush Of cheek and flash of eye;
Your lips smile and their deep dye;
Clean Of the white teeth within;
Dimple Of the cloven chin;
All the sunshine that you wear
In the summer Of your hair;
All the morning Of your face;
All your figures wilding grace;
The nower-pose Of your head, the light
Flutter Of your footsteps flight:
I own all, and that glad heart
! must claim ere you depart.
Go, yet 20 not unconsoled!
Sometime, after you are old,
You shall come, and will take
From your brow the sullen ache,
From your eyes the twilight gaze
Darkening upon winter days,
From your feet their palsy pace,
And the wrinkles from your face,
From your lock the snow; the droop
OF your head, your worn frames stoop,
And that withered smile within
The kissing Of the nose and chin:
I own all. and that sad heart
I will claim ere you depart.

paid $500 for him when he was colt,

q city gentlemen had seen and ad-
mired the horse and he thought him
q very likely buyer. An appoint

that afternoon. When tho horse was
In the barnyard he behaved himself
admirably, but just 80 soon as he was
driven to the street he began to cut
capers. This was point the colored!
man well knew, SO he made arrange

The city gentleman was there at
the appointed time, and the horse
was led forth looking the picture Of
amiabillty. The hustler logged him
up and down before the prospective
buyer, oil the time expatiating upon
his quiet qualities. Just rs the man
had made up his mind to take the
horse, he gave snort, jumped into
the air and viciously grabbed the
colored man by the shoulder and,
literally lifted him of the ground.

hostler. "Oh, he's all right boss,

AMEnIcANs I'M MExIco.

During the past few years there have
been many instances brought to public
notice Of American citizens in Mexico
having been maltreatod. thrown in
dungeons, held without legal trial or
given chance to prove their inno-
ccnce when accused OF crime. and II
would seem high time this government
were exercising come power TO put a
stop TO the practice. An instance OF
this sort OF high-handed procedure was
brought to light by the dispatch In
the Gazette yesterday from Ell Paso
Of the inhumnn treatment OF an Amer
lean boy named whittemore. who was
strung up TO a limb until nearly dead
and then confined In dungeon because
he would not tell Mexican policeman
about the theft Of pair OF horses
which has father was accused OF steal
ing The boy'8 father was subsequently
arrested and tried on tho American
side OF the river and promptly acquit-
ted. The press dispatch indicates that
the boy ia a mere child. and Is sim
held In confinement, Such outrages by
the Mexican authorities are entirely too
frequent to bo passed without investi-
CATION. and patience with these greas-
era has about lost Its virtue or course
we may expect an apology from the
Mexican government for this offense.
If 1t is as serious as the dispatch in
dicates but what about guarantee
that the same sort of thing will not
be repeated the first opportunity 1t
Is time the United States were making
an object lesson Of Mexico for some ono
Of these outrages, and II an American
citizen can not be given the Same pro-
lection on Mexican soil that we offer
