WHEN MABEL SMILES.

When Mabel smiles, my heart beats high.
A softer azure tints the sky,
And zephyrs sweet fit laughing By,
With strains unheard before,
While look in her peerless eyea
And envy not the rich and wise
Nor heavenward gaze with wisttnl ngha.
For heaven can yield no more
When Mabel frowns, the world IL dre@R
Each trembling dewdrop seems teAEs
Tho roses droop in grief and fear
And cease TO breathe perfume
Alas, for me, q mournful swain.
The dismal moments drag In pain
For who could bear to meet disdain
From lips so full OF bloOmf
when Mabel smiles. my heart Is proud,
When Mabel frowns, my heart IL bowed
But be she dark or sunny broWed
She reigns my bosom's queen;
And well she knows who rules In state.
That 10Y and pain must nlternate,
And 30 fsir Mabel hides my fate.
A smile and frown between.

one of the "giants Of the forest" about

counter is perhaps best told in the cor
respondents own words:

THE comptroller of the treasury
has made a new ruling, which it
is thought will help out the state
of affairs in the Indian Territory
concerning the duties of the Unit
ed States deputy marshals. Judge
Bowler holds that it is entirely
within the power of the marshal,
or deputy marshal, in the Indian
Territory to execute a criminal
process issued to him by a com
missioner while acting as a justice
OF the peace. He also holds that
while engaged in performing this
duty marshal is entitled to re-
ceive reasonable expense for trav-
cling and subsistence. He also
decides that deputy marshals in
the Indian Territory are entitled
to their salaries, Notwithstanding
they have not taken the oath of
Office prescribed by the statutes.
As the comptroller sees it, Indian
Territory is not a territory"
within the meaning of that word
when used in the statutes.

vorce between church and state ought
to be absolute. 1t ought to be so ab-
solute that no church property any
where, in any state, or in the nation.
should be exempt from equal taxation;
for if you exempt the property OF any
church organization, to that extent
you impose tax upon the whole COM
munity."
