Cheeks, as soft as July peaches,
Lips, whose dewy scarlet teaches
Poppies paleness;-round blue eyes,
Ever great with new surprise.
Minutes filled with shadeless gladness;
Minutes just brim-full of sadness;
Happy smiles and wailing cries.
Crows and laughs with fearful eyes,;
Ever some new tiny notion,
Making every limb all motion;
Catching up of legs and arms,
Throwings back, and small alarms,
Clutching fingers; Strengthening jerks,
Turning feet, whose each toe works,
Hands all wants and looks all wonder
At all things seen the Heavens under,
Meath, for which, we know no measure;
Pleasures high,-above all pleasure,s

1t is now the proper time to throw in
the solitary horseman. The horizontal
bars of golden light from the setting sun
CLEAN and glitter from the dome Of the
court house and battle the green plains of
Syracuse with mellow splendor. The bill
lowy piles of heecy bronze in the eastern
sky look soft and yielding, like a Sarah
Bernhard The lowing herd winds slowly
DER the lea, and all nature seems OPP
pressed with the solemn hush and still
ness of the surrounding and engulfng
horror.
The solitary horseman is seen coming
along the Albany and Syracuse toll road.
He jabs the Mexican spurs into the foamy
tanks of his noble cayuse plug, and the
lash of the quirt as IL mo7es through the
air is singing a merry song. Damon has
been delayed by road agents and wash
outs and he is little behind time. Be,
sides, he fooled a little too long and dallied
in Albany with his fair gaelic But he
is making up time now, and he sails in the
Jail yard Just in time 10 take his part.
He and Pythias fall into each others
arms. borrow a chew of fine from each
other, and weep TO slow music. Dionysius
comes before the curtain, bows, and says
the exercises will be postponed He orders
the band 10 play something soothing, gives
Damon the appointment of superintendent

CHAPTER III.

We will now suppose three days to have
elapsed since the preceding chapter. A
large party of enthusiastic citizens of
Syracuse are gathered around the grand
stand, and Pythias is on the platform
cheerfully taking off his coat. Near by
is man with broadax. The Syracuse
silver cornet band has Just played Its
funny when you feel that way" and the
chaplain has made long prayer, Pythias
sliding a trade dollar into his hand and
whispering TO him TO give him his moneys
worth. The Declaration of independence
has been read, and the man on the left is
running his thumb playfully over the edge
of his meat AK. Pythias takes off his col
lar and tie, swearing softly to himself at
his miserable luck.

CHAPTER II.

I will now bring in Damon and Pythias.
Damon and Pythias were named after a
popular secret organization because they
were so solid on each other. They
thought more of one another than any
body They borrowed chewing tobacco
and were always sociaDle and pleasant.
They slept together, and unitedly
stood off, the landlady from month to
month in the most harmonious manner
If Pythias snored in the night like the
blast of a fog horn. Damon would not get
mad and kick him in the stomach as
some would. He gently but firmly took
him by the nose and lifted him up and
down to the merry rythm of THE
Babies in Our Block"
They loved one another in season and
out of season. Their affection was like
the soft bloom of the rose of a Wyoming
legislator. 1t never grew pale or wilted.
1t was always there. If Damon were at
the bat. Pythias was on deck. If Damon
went to a church fair and invited starva-
tion. Pythias would go, too, and vote on
the handsOmest baby till the First Ma
tional Bank of Syracuse would refuse to
honor his checks.
But one day Damon got too much bulge
and told the venerable and colossal old
royal hummer Of Syracuse what he
thought of him. Then Dionysius told the
chief engineer of the sausage grinder TO
turn on steam and prepare for business.
But Damon thought of Pythias and how
Pythias hadn't so much to live for as he
had, and he made compromise by offer
ing to put Pythias in soak while the only
genuine Damon went to see his girl, who
lived at Albany. Three days were given
him to get around and redeem Pythias,
and if he failed, his friend would go To
protest.

TRUE STORY OF.
DAMON And PYTHIAS.
AS Related by That. Veracious His
torian and Past Grand Lecturer,
Bill Nye
From the Washington Post.
CHAPTER 1.


The romantic story of Damon and
Pythias, which has been celebrated IN
verse and song for over 1000 years, is
supposed to have originated during the
reign of Dionysius I, or Dionysius the
Elder, as he was also called, who reigned
about $50 years B. c. He must have been
called Tine Elder" more for Joke
than anything else, as he was by inclina-
ton a Unitarian. although he was never
a member OF any church whatever, and
was in fact the wickedest man IN SYRIA
cuse.
Dionysius arose to the throne from the
ranks, and used TO call himself self
made man He was tyrannical, severe
and selfish, as all self-made men are.
Self-made men are very prone TO usurp
the provocative of the Almighty and
overwork themselves. They are not sat
| isfed with the division perlntendent of
creation, but they want TO be most
worthy high grand muck-a-muck of
the entire ranch, or their lives are gloomy
J fzzles.
Dionvsius was indeed so odious and so
overDearing toward his subjects that he
lived in constant fear of assassination at
their hands.
This fear robbed him of his rest and
rendered life dreary waste to the tyran-
nical king. He lived in constant dread
that each previous moment would be fol-
lowed by the succeeding one. He would
eat hearty supper and retire to rest, but
the night would be cursed with horrid
dreams Of the Scythians and White River
Utes peeling of his epidermis and throw
ing him into a boiling cauldrOn with red
pepper and other cOunter-lrritantS, while
they danced the Highland fling around
this royal barbecue.
Even his own wife and children were
forbidden to enter his presence for fear
thet they would put barn arsenic in
the blanc mango. or "Cosgrove arsenic
in the pancakes or Paris green in the pie.
During his reign he had constructed an
immense subterranean cavernous ar
rangement called the Ear of Dyonysius,
I because it resem bled in shape and gen
eral telephone power the human ear. 1t
| was the largest ear on record. One day
a workman expressed the desire to erect
a similar ear of tin or galvanized iron on
| old Di. himself. Some one blowed on
him, and the next morning his head was
| humping about in the waste basket in
| the general office. When one of the king S
| SUBJECTS, who thought he was solid with
! the administration, would say: Beyond
| the possibility of a doubt, your most
! serene highnesS is kind and loving guar
dian of his people, and the idol of his
SUBJECTS" his royal highness would say,
What We givin' us? DO you wish TO play
the most sublime Overseer of the uni
verse and general ticket agent plenipo-
| Tertiary TO a Chinaman2 Ha You can
not ill up the King of Syracuse with
| taffy."
! Then he would order the chief execu-
/ toner to run the man through the royal
! sausage grinder, and throw him into the
! Mediterranean. In this way the sau-
| sage grinder was kept running night and
| day, and the chief engineer who ran the
machine, made double time every month.

The Plan of Reorganization,

The Plan of Reorganization,
The strongest feature about the plan
of recognizing the local Democracy.
reported by heProvisional Committee
last evening, is the Committee on APP
| peals. This is to be a sort of permanent
body, removed altogether from the
control of the rings, the heelers and
the bosses. 1t is to be chosen, first
by Governor Werts and Ex-Governor
Bedle, and afterwards by the County
Conventions chosen to nominate State
Senators, The three years tenure oil
office and the method of choice afford
a hope that this Committee Of Ap-
peals will be a pure and independent
body. Its powers, as laid down, are
sufficient to prevent many gross
abuses in party management. Alto
gether it is a step in the right direc-
ton, and tends to create contidencein
the proposed system as a whole.
The weakest feature in the plan is
its reference to the old Central Com
mittee for ratification. This is a
weakness because it greatly reduces
the hope of interesting the faction
over which Mr.. Garretson presides,
and in which Mayor Pagan and
Messrs. Grouse and Record r the
leaders. The most serious peril in
the way of the Democracy in this
county, reorganization being once
effected, is f~actional secession. No
plan of reorganization is perfect
which will not prevent this, and We
fear that any movement which has its
authority from the Central Commit
tee will fail to heal existing breaches.
At the same time, w freely admit
that If the reorganization of the party
is to be effected by local means alone,
the authority must emanate from the
Central Committee. This body is the
keeper of the keys of regularity. and
it is the only one which can enjoy
recognition by the State under the
Ballot Reform law. There was only
one way of securing its sanction with
out mourning the odium of its parent
age. That way was to have it call in
the higher authority of a State Con-
vention. We fear it is too late now to
pursue that course, and so we must
make the best of the existing situa-
ton.
The plan presented to the party is
intrinsically an excellent one. The
problem now is to interest the Demo-
cratic voters in it and to build up
their confidence in its efficacy for the
elimination of old ring influences.
To this end a series Of public meet
ings should be held and the plan fully
expounded in all its bearings by the
eminent gentlemen who are its
sponsors.

witnesses before Vice Chancellor Green this
morning in the divorce suit brought by

Half of the population swore that Mrs. Jones

tive that she could not be believed under
oath when she says that her husband starved
and beat her.
The whole case is a dose of too much
