BATTLE SHIPS.

WASHINGTON, San. 29.-The friends Of
the New Navy" expect to have a hard
fight in the House TO secure the passage
OF that part OF the appropriation bill
providing for three battle ships
and IL torpedo boats. They will have the
weight Of Secretary Herberts recon-
mendation behind them, but the de-
pleted condition OF the Treasury will be
the chief argument urged to block
tine plan. Chairman Sayers of the APP
preparation committee has announced
that he will fight tho attempt TO build
new ships, and his position upon the
bill will insure for him the cooperation
of the ultra economists Of the House. The
members of the naval committee find en-
couragement In the statement made by
Representative Wilson in his recent
speech that the revenues will soon exceed
expenditures and the hopeful assurance
OF the Presidents message to the effect
that deficit is not to be feared. They
will use these authoritative statements in
reply to the opposition and are moreover
relying upon Republican votes for new
ships.

TAKING. A VIEW.


should contain was derived from his ex-
periences In Purchasing blank cartridges
when boy In order to celebrate Fourth
OF July properly. The witness was not
altogether positive that the revolver In
evidence, which was shown to him, was the
one he lent to Keegan. IT was like it in all
particulars except In the fact that the
revolver i'm evidence cooked easily. The
one the witness lent Keegan did not.
Taylor refused to positively identify the
revolver, but felt quite sure 1t was his.
Henry Taylor Called.
The second witness called by the prose-
cution was Henry Taylor. He told the
story OF Keegan's visit to his house, and
said that he let the defendant have the
revolver and box of cartridges. He
returned the revolver when the witness
was in the store. Keegan put the cart
ridges back. The witness thought thet
1t. The elder Taylor's testimony was
principally confined to a conversation
which he had with Keegan on Tuesday
just previous to the defendants arrest.
Taylor says he was reading the paper on
Tuesday evening, about 8 o'clock, when
keegan passed his shop. This was the
nrst time that keegan was openly accused
OF the murder, and the witness spoke to
Keegan about it. Keegan said: "It looks
pretty black against me, but IL isn't true"
Then the witness read the account to
keegan, keeping a sharp lookout on the
accused mans legs to see IL they trem-
bled. They did tremble and after a
while Keegan suddenly left the
reader without saying goodbye. At the
Richmond hearing the witness said that
Keegan asked him not to be hard on him.
On cross examination Mr.. McGili en-
quired why it was that Taylor confined
his attention 10 Kegan's legs and
did not look at his faces The
witness thought that that was good way
of determining whether a man was ex-
cited or not. The court adjourned at the
conclusion of Taylor's examination.
The party had not returned from view
ing the scene of the murder at o'clock
this afternoon.

For the Christmas long ago,
When the old log-cabin homed us
From the night of binding snow.
And the rarest Joy held reign,
And the chimney roared amain,
With the freight like beacon
Through the frosty window-pane.
All! the revel and the din
From without and from within,
The blend Of distant sleish-bells
With the blinking violin;
The mufi1ed shrieks and cries
Then the glowing cheeks and eyes
The driving storm OF greetings.
Gusts Of kisses and surprise.
Sing in again the mirth
or the circle round the hearth,
With the rustic Sinbad telling us
The strangest tales on earth.
And the Mistrel Bard we knew,
With his "Love-i-er so true"
Likewise his young House-kyarpen-

And Lowed Henry" too!
And forgetting ne'er thing,
Lift sladder voice and sing
or the dancers in the kitchen
Clean from start to "pigeon-winge
Sing the glory and the glee
And the Joy and jubilee
The twirling form-the quickened breath
The sigh Of ecstasy.
The eyes that smile alone
Back into our happy own
The leaping pulse-the laughing blood
The trembling undertone
Ho! pair us Off once more,
With our feet upon the floor,
But our heads and hearts in Heaven,
As they were in days of yore!

So, when he fell desperately in love

Yes, it was sad, but as man of honor
there was no other way.
But how to do it? What excuse could
he offer for his conduct? Could he not
tell her of his desertion in some better
way than by letter? All, he had it..
He would send some gift that would be
symbolical of wish to break the tie
that bound him TO her. But, what should

that would be too suggestive of fun
