The bird to the nest and the bee to the
When the night from the heavens falls
dreary,
And Love to the light in the windows of
The light of the love of my dearie!
And Love to the light, like a swallow in
flight,
When the storm blows the stars from the
blue Of the night;
And kiss from the red rose, a smile from
the white
In the gardens that bloom for my dearie
The ships to the harbor from over the

When the way has been stormy and
weary,
And Love to the light in the windows of
The light of the love of my dearie!
And Love to the light, like the bloom
from the blight.
When the spring suns weave wonders Of

And the darkness of winter is kissed to

In the gardens that bloom for my dearie.
The bird to the nest and the bee to the

And never night shall fall dreary
While the lights in the beautiful windows
Are lit by the love of my dearie!
And Love to the light, like bird from

Where angels in lilies Loves litanies

And kiss from the crimson, smile from
In the gardens that bloom for my dearie!

He Had No Comments to Make.

The preciousness of silence received
a new illustration in court room in
cident reported by the Helena Hnde-
pen1ent.
-Four years ago, more or less, two
men were convicted of horse stealing
in the District Court of Choteau
County. They deserved a sentence of
ten years imprisonment, but Judge
Du Bose for some reason let them off
with three years.
Then the worst man OF the two,
supposing, no doubt, that the sentence
once pronounced was past revisi on, ad-
dressed the court.
81 just want to say" he told the
Judge, "that when l get out you'll be
the first man I'll come here to kill"
"Oh, well,' said the Judge, "IN
make it ten years. Then you won't
trouble me so soon."
Having said this he turned to the
other man.
"Is there anything you would like
to say?" he asked.
"Not a blessed word," answered the
prisoner.
The man who said nothing is now
out Of prison, while his partner IS still
behind the bars.

A CLASSIC SANHEDRIM.
UNITED STATES JUDGE SIMONTON AND
THE RAILROADS.
Have Courts any n0re Power to Pro-
hibit a Railroad From Reducing its
Rates Than They Have to Prevent
It From Running a Faster Schedule
Than its. Rival?-DOmains Upon
Which The United States Judiciary
Has No Right to Enter.
editorial from Savannah GA Press, of
August Goth. 1896

editorial from Savannah ga Press. of
August Goth. 1850
There is classic sandrehln IN The
mountains. Mr.. Augustine Smylhe,
of Charleston, and bevy of lawyers
are trying to &c, Judge Slmonlon, Of
Flat Rock, To issue an injunction, pre-
venting the Seaboari Air Line from
cutting rates. 1t is ihtimated that
this movement is in the interest of some
rival road, which does not want the
rate lowered. The movement is
very remarkable one, and it is not be-
lieved that the court has any business
with such case. If Judge Simonton
can issue an edict at Flat Rock, that
the Seaboard Air Line railroad can
not charge lower rates than its COM
peti,ors, the Judge could also enjoin
the Seaboard from running faster
schedules than its competitors. Mr..
Augustine Smythe believes he has dis
covered conspiracy, just as Mr..
Bourke Cochran unearthed 4 conspir-
acy in Madison Square Garden. The
only question before the court, in the
language of Mr.. Alex King, sis the
power of railroad to reduce its rates
subject to the regulation and control
Of the court? 1t was not at common
law, and it is not under the act TO reg
ulate commerce. The reduction of
rates by railroad, either as deien-
sive measure to protect its business
from the attacks Of rival, or as
matter of policy to attract larger
volume of business, is in no sense
a conspiracy, however much it
may damage such rival, but it is
only the fair exercise of the power
to conduct its business"
But there is another remarkable side
to this remarkable case. Mr.. Angus
tine Smythe, in the vestibule Of very
elaborate argument, took occasion to
make stump speech. He delivered
an eulogy upon Judge Simonton, com
pli.nented his war record, paid his re-
spec,s to Ben Tillman, and actually
suggested that the editor Of the Nezos
and C0u,ier be summoned to Flat
Rock for contempt. The Charleston
NezOs auA Courier has intimated in
advance of the hearing that this was
daring and dangerous example Of gov
ernment by injunction; that it was an
encroachment upon the rights of the
people, and that Judge Simonton
would be playing into the hands Of
Tillman and Altgeld by entertaining
any such propositions in court.
Mr.. Augustine Smythe intimates
that it might be necessary, to preserve
the dignity of the court, to have these
editors summoned to explain their ir-
reverent remarks. The truth of the
matter is that this matter has no busi
ness in court. The NeaOs andACourier
said so, and the Ntws and Courier
was right. There are domains upon
which the United States judiciary has
no more right to enter than Coxey's
army, and in spite Of the indignation
of Mr.. Augustine Smythe we trust that
the learned and honored judge will
conclude TO keep off the grass.

A PROPOSITION
To the Merchants and Business Men
 of Pine Bluff.

The GRAPHIC is offered day service of 1,500 words by the Associated Press-the leading news gathering association of the world-at very reasonable rate; in fact, at price less than WAS ever known for this service in this State.
 One thousand and five hundred words will cover in brief all of the leading events of the world, and the use of this service would give the Pine Bluff public all of the news from 12 to 24 hours quicker than at pres ent.
 For sometime there has been a demand in this city for daily paper with Associated Press dispatches, now, therefore, if the merchants and business men will subscribe enough additional adver Using to that car rjed by the GRAPHIC at present to cover the additional cost of this service, the Daily GRAPHIC will con- tract for this service of the Associated Press at once.
 With that end in view, Mr. |. W. Adams, manager of the GRAPHIC, will call on our business men in few days to solicit enough additional advertising to cover the cost of this proposed service.
 We are frank to say that our pres- ent income is not sufficient to war rant the additional expense necessa- ry to furnish our readers with Asso- ciated Press dispatches, and unless additional advertising is secured, the enterprise will be abandoned.
 The matter of Associated Press service, therefore, depends exclusive ly with the merchants and business men of Pine Bluff.

The things that please his palate most are often the worst for him to eat Even the simplest food Is likely to cause him misery and sleepless- ness His first trouble was very slight very simple-very easy to cure. He ate something indigestible and it stuck some place in his digestive system. He ate more things and they stuck Part of his diges- tion stopped altogether-that is constipa- tion
 Constipation is so common that more than half the people in America are troub- led with It. It Is SO serious that nine tenths of the sickness of the world Is traceable directly to this common cause. mans health and strength depend upon what he gets out of his food. This depends on his digestion. Constipation stops diges- ton. Anybody can see that The com monest kind of common sense will tell you that When digestion stops, nutrition stops, and the whole body is thrown out of order.
 The way to start digestion Is to remove the obstruction. The way to do that Is to take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are positive cure for constipation and its attendant ills = headaches, sour stom- ach, fiatulence, dizziness biliousness and "heartburn. They are very gentle in their action. They simply assist nature. They give no violent wrench to the system They cause no pain, nor griping. nor dis comfort of any kind.
