sadness that has crept in and out of
the melancholy note OF that lonely
songster every time she has listened to
Its plaintive melody since that evening.
THE new Bess crowd up like the
other" continued the old man, "an'
made the house as bright as it could
been after what had been done.
But when my wife jined our child in the
angel band, an the farm an stock wuz
sold fer the mortgage, had to let the
new un go back to her pap's people,
who wuz rich and decent folks after all.
"Then I come out here to Californy to
git as fer from them sad sights an
sounds as l could, an whar hoped l
wouldn't be pestered with them mourn
full whipporewills; but they seem to
haint me Jes the same. The new owners
wanted me to stay on the old place, but
1 hadn't the heart. Fer when the moon
would climb UP the sky an run the
shadders back into the timber, jes like It
wuz a lookin' fer somethin' it couldn't
nowhar find, an a cleaning on the
grave stones NV Bess an her mother:
an when heard the creek ripplin' on
an see the sproutin' corn an other
truck-sides hearin' the whipporwills'
same lonesome words a ringin' in my
ears. jes couldn't stan it.
THAT'S why I'm wanderin' now,
awaftin' till I'm plum wore out livin' An
1 hope God Almighty won't keep me
away from them other two much
longer"
Again the trembling voice was hush
ed strange stiffness fell upon the
quiet night and the speaker sat down
upon the steps. Even the creaking
windmill, and the doleful wall of this
feathered serenader which had been the
cause of the serni-soliloquy ceased as if
out of respect for the feelings of the old
man.
Presently it began to grow lighter, ana
as the moon rose over the Sierras, flood
ing the peaceful San Joaquin valley with
a golden radiance, it seemed as if the
whipporewill was not the only messenger
that came from the sunny south to re-
mind the heart-broken wanderer of the
dead and dreary past. The same orb of
night that shone on him was at that very
moment "a drivin' them shadders back"
and bringing out in ghostly relief the
grave stones of Bess and her mother,
thousands of miles away.
The old mans head was now bent for
ward and his bearded chin rested on the
coarse texture of his shirt bosom. SAD
and weary of life lie had fallen asleep.
With feeling of unexpressed sympa.
thy the widow arose. After bestowing
look of tender pity at the aged slumberer
she whispered good night to her conf
panion and softly entered the house.
"I was wrong, after ALL" she said as
she took her handkerchief from he.
eyes on ner way upstairs. Poor, Ig-
norant people have hearts just like the
rest of u.s."
At the breakfast table next morning
the old mans chair. among those occu-
pied by the other hired men, was va
cant. His seat on the bench outside was
also empty, and his humble cot in the
barn loft had not been slept in.
1t may be that he is still trying to es-
cape the song of the whpporewill. But in
all probability the moon thai holds a
silent vigil DER the last resting place Of
the mother and daughter shines as kind
ly on the lonely. unmarked crave of the
husband and father, while the same sad
songster sings solemn requiem for the
departed souls of all three.

either side, fifteen seats in each front
row, eight in each second row, making
up the forty-six in all. The chancellor
of the empire has the first seat in the
front row to the right OF the speaker,
facing the house.
HAVE sCHooLBoY DESKS.
The arrangements for the seating of
the deputies are not marked with e,E-
travagance and in comparing them with
those of the congressman in Washington
the latter seem immeasurably grand. In
the reichstag the deputies do not have
individual desks; instead a number of
them share one long desk, schoolboy
fashion. Each member has an individual
drawer, however, and that is something.
The principal factions in the German
diet or reichstag are the Conservatives,
the Free Conservatives, the Catholics,
the National Liberals, the Independents
and the Social Democrats. Each of
these has several subdivisions but on
general questions they stand together
In the present dispute between military
and the civilians the government forces
consist only of the Conservatives or I'M
periaiists and Free Conservatives. The
latter are different from the former be-
cause of their opposition to the Jews and
Poles. But on all questions directly af-
fecting the government the two kinds
OF conservatives stand together. But
in the present year they can do little,
as their total strength is but eightyfive.
The Poles, who sit next to the Free
Conservatives. might be called bellig-
erents. They can always be counted
upon to argue and vote against every
thing except that which might injure
Germany.
Next to the Poles and in the central
part of the hall sit the Catholics, called
the center. This is the strongest party
politically and numerically, and it's lead
ers dominated the attack on the govern
ment forces to the opening days. While

he grappled with an American eagle,
which had taken this way Of resenting
approach to It's nest, and which was
plugging its talons again and again into
Talcotts neck and face. The female
bird did not join In the fight. After a
dozen rounds he drove his eagleship of

were cut in his cheeks and neck, and
blood poured from other wounds in his
face. Two years ago, in the sams
vicinity, child was carried three mile:

see the superiority Of our medical treat

they will sometimes turn to our hospi-

from us. If a Chinaman needs any mon

him without burdeniDg our public phi

men of one clan or friends from different
