4ORREST CITY, ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON MARCH 20 1896
THE DESTROYING ANGEL,

On the whuffy-duff was the prettiest b,rd
mat toy shop ever knew,
with great, long tail and with goose
quill wings
And glass eye good and true:
Out MS wings are gone and his tails pulled
out,
And his head is twisted awry,
ror the goo-goo has torn him limb from
limb,
And has swallowed the whufry-dufrs eye
The ooglety-dum had a wobbilng head.
anu nice, round, curving horn
ana tall that would almost wag itself
And nose turned up in scorn;
But the ooglety-dum isn't scornful now
lie Is meek and as sad as can be.
FOR the goo-goo has torn his horn short Off
ana mas broken his tail in three.
The whank- whank-whank used to squeak
her joy
That is, when properly pressed
win voice that was hidden away some
where
In the depths OF her hollow breast:
But wish you could see the hapless corpse
That is lying here On the bed;
oh, the k-whank-whank has a ghast-
ly look
Since the goo-goo tore off her head.
And yet, in spite of her deadly work,
The goo-goo is dear to me;
Though she kill and main. shall love her
STILL
And her comrade In crime I'll be.
For when turned and looked lust now
Where she lay in her trundle bed
She reached me the wreck of the ooglety-
dunn,
And Papa" is what she said.

CONTRABAND ANTIQUITIES.
italian Works of Art Find Their Way to
the Market Despite the Law


the Market Despite the Law.
Some days ago a weli-known dealer
in antiquities offered for sale to the
Louvre museum, in Paris, a splendid
collection of ancient silver vases from
Italy of Greek workmanship. The mu-
scum was unable to pay the price asked
e 20,000-and declined the bargain.
The Italian minister of education. hav-
ing learned of this, has taken proceed
ings under the Pacca law against Sig.
Di Frisco, the owner of these antiqui-
ties. The latter is a large land owner
at Bosco Reale. He secretly made exca-
vations on his estate and found 2s
silver vases of remote antiquity.
Notwithstanding the Italian law pro-
hibiting owners of antiquities from
sending them out of the country with
out leave, or, rather, on account of this
law, which prevents old works of art
from commanding anything like their
natural price in the impoverished coun-
try, Sig. Di Frisco smuggled his find
out of Italy and offered it to Paris
dealer for $4,000. Continuing mean
while his search, he found other silver
vases, which duly joined their fellows
in Paris, and the whole lot was offered
to the Louvre. The Italian minister
of education throws interesting light
on the facilities which underpaid Off
cials are supposed to afford to illicit
exporters of antiquities. He issues
notification that, should any officials
be found to have connived at this latest
evasion of the Pacca law, they will be
criminally Observation-Disclosures News.

fernal dog of yours off, he said, irri-
tably, and little did he think when I
ooediently did so that he was sending
off the biggest haul of /. DIS he was
ever likely to find. OF course he found
nothing on me, and his rage was a eau
tion. However, he went off, and some
days later / started homewards by leis-
urely stages.
Il felt pretty secure by this time,
and carried the diamonds in my pocket.
However. as the train left the station
for Capetown, chanced to see one of
the diamond fields detectives jump in
TO the guard van. That was sufficient
hint to me to make things snug, but
how to get rid of the diamonds this time
l could not see, as Grip wasn't accom-
panying me that journey. Looking
round the carriage, / saw broken
black bottle under the seat. There was
my cache, as the Indians say"
"But surely the detective" / mildly
interposed, would have looked under
the seat?'
well, l suppose he would" duly re-
marked Downham, unless he were as
big an idiot as-some people. Just wait,
my good friend, before you credit man
with congenital idiocy."
1 shrank back silent. He looked
fierce and dagger-like, and on the whole
| began to wish I'd gone to Liverpool
street for some other train.
What did," he resumed, "was this:
l wrapped up all the stones in pieces of
newspaper. and carefully put them into
the bottle, filling up the spaces by more
paper as tightly as possible. Then l
looked carelessly out of the window,
smoking, but my eye always on the
guards van. When saw nobody look
ing out--of course the chap thought l
hadn't seen him, and was probably tell
ing the guard what fine haul he was
going to make-I quietly dropped the
broken bottle clear of the line. marking
the spot-one's eye gets well trained
out on the veldt, yop know"
"At the next station up came the de-
tective. They have power to search sus-
poets, you know, and was accordingly
rummaged again. But this chap, z,
let's say, was as unsuccessful and as
riled as X. OF course, hadn't dia-
nond about me. And much Indignation
did display. Some days later went
back to the place where / dropped my
black bottle, found it and it's contents
intact. After that had no more adven-
lures with those stones, and they
partly--bought my place in the south of
France.
Yes, they're very clever, those D. F.
D.'s, ard have many people in their pay,
both black and white, called traps
They don't usually make mistakes, but
they did in my case. What do YOU
think?" concluded Downham, empty
ing his glass.
What / thought certainly was not
going to say, and, indeed, l hardly
knew where 1 was. 1t was an awful ex-
perience for steady-going man of
business whose career has been as un-
ruffied as duck pond. / parted from
him. however, with much outward
cordiality, but have not seen him since.
/ sincerely hope he will remain at his
place in the south of France, which
shall carefully avoid if ever visit the

THE STORY OF AN [. D. B.

wen, olu man, SAID an unfamiliar
voice, as l was waiting for my train at
Liverpool street, you're not a day older.
Going home to tea in the same old,
steady fashion? What, don't you know
me? l should have known you any
wherei"
With puzzled eyes turned and stared
at big, bronzed bearded man whom |
had no recollection of having seen be-
fore. He laughed loudly at my per-
plexity-so loudly that several people
stared at us, which as staid city man,
hating to be conspicuous, l very much
disliked Consequently it was in no
friendly fashion that eyed the stranger
who thus noisily claimed acquaintance.
Don't you remember Harry Down
ham," he said, at last, who worked
under you in that dug-hole of an office
long ago-where | suppose you're still
grinding on in the same old way?
Shake." he added, peremptorily, thrust
ing out huge sunburnt md with
which he grasped mine till my fingers
were crushed. "Now you must come
and dine with me. Your wife? On. she
won't mind your playing truant for
once" and in short time my master
full acquaintance and I were seated OPP
posite each other in a well-known
restaurant.
Yes, i did now remember him. But
he was changed indeed from the slim
young fellow who had been the fiightiest
clerk in the office, and whose short
comings had, after innumerable grumb-
lings on the part of the firm, led to his
dismissal. Occasional surmises had
comrades as to his career, none of them
OF complimentary kind, as l candid
ly remarked.
"They weren't so far wrong" he an
swered, carelessly. Il was never fit for
humdrum life and bricks and mortar.
The wild freedom of uncivilized regions
was my ideal. Would you like to hear
my adventures? though your rigid re-
spectability may be somewhat rudely
shocked"
Of course l assented. One always has
a certain curiosity about an acquaint-
ance who disappears in impecunious
guise, and turns up years afterwards
with all the external signs of wealth
which Downham showed in rather too
pronounced fashion for good taste.
Where ha re you come from?" l said,
looking at his bronzed face curiously.

Southampton two days ago. Am ] go

All sorts of things. But my last and

for what he meant could not guess.
He watched me with an amused smile.
"You seem puzzled, old man." he said.

THE GRAND OPERA.

Mr.. Walter Damrosch, who comes at
the Hyperion with his opera company
to present "Tannhauser" on Friday
April 10, gives out his opinion that
Wagner's music is mo longer music of
the future" '"rhe year and the cult
ure," he says, "have finally reached
the heights of the master genius of
Bayreuth, and the historians who write
of art at the end of the century will
designate the period by his name''
Enthusiastic utterances like these are
not strange on the lips of Wagner ad-
mirers. A thorough expression of n
Wagnerian's admiration for his master
is always likely to cause a strain on the
vocabulary. Mr. Damrosch, however
speaks evidently from conviction rath-
err than from sentiment, and it is fair
to concede that his prediction is prob
ably true. 1t is certain at least that
the appreciation of Wagner is to-day
more widespread and more sincere than
ever before, and that each year sees an
increase in the Wagner cult After
sweeping over the whole range of mu-
sic and testing each epoch the obsery-
ers find that even the most catholic
and wholesome taste must concede to
Wagner the honor of having exertad
the greatest of all influences in the de-
velopment of music. However one may
like or dislike what he does, it is i'm
possible to deny the supremacy of d
genius which, finding an art settled in
definite lines, remodeled the whole
method of eXpreSSion and almost ORC
ated new medium of speech.
The sale of seats for "Tannhauser''
opens at the Hyperion on Thursday
morning at o'clock. Not more than
ten tickets will be sold to one person.
Telephone orders will not be received
on the morning of the opening sale.
