LOST LOVE.

Who wins his love shall lose her.
Who loses her shall gain.
For still the spirit woocs her,
A soul without n stain,
And memory still pursues her
With lorgings not in vain!
He loses her who gains her,
Who watches day by day
The dust Of time that stains her,
The eriefs that leave her gray,
The flesh that yet enchains her
Whose grace hath passed away!
Oh, happier he who gains not
The love some seen, to gain.
The 10y that custom stains not
Shall still with him remain,
The loneliness that wanes not,
The love that ne'er can wane.
BE dreams she grows not older
Tho lands Of dream among.
Though all the world wax colder,
Though all the songs be Sung,
In dreams doth he behold her
Still fair and kind and young.

CleveIand,s Message.

st. Louis Republic
Breadth of vision and capacity for
organized action are certainly no
more than the country should in
reason expect of congress in an
emergency which involves not only
the repure of the government, but
the market value Of every share in
an American enterprise. Lessons
which q child understands have
taught the dangers of badly con-
ceivcd currency when the whole vol
ume rests upon crippled federal
treasury. 1t is anything but attract
i've to the judgment-the expedieut
of issuing new form of bonds to
protect an undesirable currency
without taking steps to adapt the
currency itself to the uses of the peo-
pies business. Much less attractive,
however. is the present process of is
suing old fashioned bonds for the
same purpose. In other words. if
bonds must be issued to maintain the
gold reserve it would be better to sell
per cent bonds of small denomina-
tions than AZ per cents of larger de-
nominations.
Even in the confused state of con.
gressional opinion it is possible that
the presidents recommendation in
his message of yesterday might have
been accepted by both house and
senate if he had asked for no more
than authority to change the form OF
bond. By suggesting an accompany
ing change in the system of national
bank notes he brought up that issue
and aroused all the antagonism
which exists against a perpetuation
of q bank currency based upon fed.
cral Indebtedness.
Having authority to issue bonds
for coin to redeem treasury note:
and being required by law to main.
tain the parity of all forms Of money,
the president has no hesitation in
notifying congress that he will buy
the necessary gold, whatever betides
1t would seem that congress, if i,
is unable to decide upon a reform OF
the currency, could at least author,
present conditions-espccially when
the new form would give the com.
mon people chance to use the bonds
for Investment.
One advantage is on the side o.
the president. He knows his own
mind and is ready to do something
Criticism will come with bad grace
from democrats. republicans, ma
tional bankers or bullion sellers Wit

Bissell May Leave the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-While it can be
authoritatively stated that Postmaster
General Bisscll does not now intend to
resign from the cabinet it is possible that
he will relinquish his office before the end

the large law practice which the firm of
which he is the senior partner enjoys

PRETTY. PET DUCK.

Molly Is Fond or squatting Down on Her
g Mistress lap &8sR2 Ii
One gentleman tells me that he kept
for some time a tame gamecock. 1t
would roost on his knee as he sat IN his
easy chair after dinner, and follow him
about the garden like adog. And it had
it's likes and dislikes about visitors.
One day woman tramp came begging,
and to her horror something jumped
suddenly upon her hat, and tried to tear
it off, Tapping her screaming face with
it's wings. This was the gamecock's
idea Of getting rid Of tramp.
Another gentleman has told me OF
tame duck which not only hated the
water, but which was eventually
drowned on being put into a pond to
cleanse it.
Only yesterday was introduced, by
the kindness Of some ladies at Tunnel
park, to delightful duck pet, Molly
by name. She is beautiful full-grown
white duck, who has grown up from
ducklinghood under the loving care of
her mistresses. She was swimming
about happily in big metal tub, and
when she saw one of her friends
come into the garden with me, she
bowed and waggled her tail and gag
gled with delight. When she was lifted
out, she waddled along very upright,
following her mistress wherever she
went. S akgf& F f&
Molly sleeps attnight In a box in the
house, and if the members of the house
hold come home late, she Guaclss until
they go down and wish her good night.
She seemed to have an idea yesterday
that a newspaper man had come to
make copy out of her, for after
luncheon she came quac1ing to the gar
den door, and it was a pretty sight to
see her squatting down on her mistress
lap, and allowing one to stroke her neck
as if she had been a cat.
Coming back to jackdaws. l have

A Tempest in a Teapot.

IAMATATAvE, Jan. 1.-THE French
bombarded Fava Fatra, four miles inland
from Iamatative. Hovas answered with
seven guns, but the French were success
full and Hovas retired with heavy loss.
At 8 o'clock in the morning the French
cruisers, Prima Ouett, Dupetit, Thurs
and Papin, supported by two guns in the
shore battery, opened fire upon Hovas'
position outside of Tamatave. At II
o'clock Hovas withdrew his seven guns.
They were badly aimed and their projec-
tiles did not reach the French ships. Fir
ing ceased about an hour later, Hovas
having suffered serious loss. The cruiser
Prima Ouett sailed away later in order to
occupy Mojanna.
