LITTLE KISSES.

Little Kisses at the gate
Meets me in the twilight late;
Where the rareSt roses be
Waits she with a kiss for me.
Round my neck her ringlets fall;
She's the sweetest rose of all!
How much do you love me, Kisses
Little Kisses, crowned and curled?''
Then with arms worldwide, she
answers:
Love you-love you-aIl the world!'
Little Kisses at the gate
Whispers to the white rose, "Waitn'
To the restless red rose she
Whispers: Keep me company
And the red-rose petals fall
On the sweetest rose of all,
How much do you love me, Kisses
Little Kisses, crowned and curled?"
And the roses hear her answer:
Love you-love you-alI the world!'
Little Kisses at the gate
Linger not too late-too late,
Lest same lonely angel far
Wandering from a loveless star
Where the earthly angels be,
Steal your face away from me!
How much do you love me, Kisses
Little Kisses, crowned and curled?
Shall | ever miss the answer:
Love you-loye you-all the world?'

dark brown substance spread on paper.
Z say, would you kindly let me place
little bit of this on your tongue? Ny
taste has become so vitiated by tasting
all sorts of things"
Certainly" responded the ever ac-
commodating Harris, thrusting out his
tongue
The Professor took up a little of the
substance under analysis and placed it
on Harris tongue. The latter worked
it round for fully a minute, tasting it
much as he would a fine confection.
Note any effect?" inquired the Pro-
fessor.

II thought not. There are no aka

Bitter as the dickens"
''Um-m; all right"
What is it?" inquired Harris.

anything | could get 10 do. l worked
with my father on the farm, and l re-
member ! once made q lot of money
aud l have made as high as forty rods
4 gay. which any fencemaker will tell
you is pretty good work. The fence
was of boards. The posts had to be
sunken into the ground and four
boards nailed on to them ana another
board on top. The posts must be OF
an even length and most OF them had
10 be sawed oil after they were set.
l made considerable in this way. but
the chief part of my income came
from hunting and fishing, which /
carried on in the winter"
How could YOU fish in the winter"
l asked
We ished through the ice" was
the reply. There is large lake near
the town OF Beaver Dam, and at the
time l lived there this was full of
fish. Hundreds Of tons were caught
every winter, and l remember one
winter when l shipped 100 tons OF
fish myself. l caught a great many OF
these and bought Others and l made
that winter just about $1,000. Have
you ever seen how they fish through
the ice?
No. said l. How did you do it,
I'VE built little houses on the ice"
replied the senator. Each of these
Louses was just four and a half feet
square and five feet high. They were
entirely closed and had doors, but no
windows. In the back OF the house
there was a little sheet iron stove, the
pipe Of which went out Of the top, and
which kept us warm. We would cut
hole in the ice in front OF the stove,
and, owing to the comparative dark
ness, were able to look down into it
and see the fish as they swan about
Ceneath. We used decoy bats or
wood, with tin wings fixed to them.
These were so fastened to the line
that they twisted and turned as we
pulled at it. The fish would nose
about the bait, and we would catch
them by driving spears into them.
Our best fish were pickereI, and those
we caught weighed all the way from
two and one-half to twenty-five
pounds. When the weather was warm
we often cut holes in the ice outside
the houses and fished with genuine
bait"
You spoke about hunting, senator.
L should have said trapping" was
the reply. This lake at Beaver Dam
was surrounded by marshes and these
were the natural home OF muskrats
and minks. l used to set traps about
tie edge of the lake, and 1 would visit
them every morning to see what l had
caught. l had as many as forty traps
some winters, and have many times
caught twenty rats in a single morn
ing. When the ice was good I could
skate around from one trap to another
and visit al Of them before breakfast"
Was there much money in it,"
Yes" replied the United States SEN
atcr There was a good deal in it for
a boy. l used to get 40 cents for
musl1rat skin, and a haul of twenty
skins meant just So to me.

LAST OF HAYWARD.
REMAINS SHIPPED TO CHICAGO TO
BE CREMATED.
Relatives Feared Ghouls Might Steal
the Body for Examination or
Exhibition

Minneapolis, Dec. 27.-The body of
Harry T. Hayward, the murderer of
Catherine Cling, who was hanged Dec.
II, has been taken from it's temporary
resting place in the vault of the Lake
Field cemetery and shipped to Chicago
to be cremated. The relatives of the
dead man were haunted by fears that
the remains would be stolen by body
snatchers as evidences were discovered
of an intention to secure the body by
the ghouIs. But whether it was want
ed for scientific purposes or for exhi-
bition could cnly be conjectured. The
incarceration Will take place in the new
crematory in Graceland cemetery, Chi
cago.

UPRISING IN SALVADOR,
Followers of Ezeta Shoot Down Their
Officers and Escape

New York, Dec. 28.-A special from
Salvador says the soldiers in the gar
rison at Sonsohat have been dissatis-
fed for long time because they were
unpaid, though there had been no open
outbreak, but at noon on the 18th,
when the greater portion of the troops
were out drilling, under command of
Col. Rivera, he ordered them to maneu-
yer and form a hollow square. The
men were feeling most bitter because
Col. Rivera ordered a soldier who
few minutes before had accidentally
dropped his gun, to be bucked, gagged
and beaten, the soldier dying under the
lash.
When the square was formed by the
grum billing soldiers and the officers had
all taken their places inside the square,
somebody cried out viva Ia reyolu-
tion," ''Viva la liberia" The words
were Immediately taken up by most of
the soldiers and before any of the Of
fiCers were able to do anything to pro-
tect themselves, they were overpowered
and forced 10 stand in line, and Col.
Rivera and twenty-four officers were
shot
The soldiers left the bodies Of their
victims where they fell, and, under the
command of Capt. Rozas they marched
toward the coast yelling viva Ia revo--
luton; viva Antonio Ezeta."
II is believed these mn are how
near the coast awaiting the arrival OF
Ezeta's ship. There are only few
real followers of EZeta among these
men, but they are ready to welcome
any change from the tyranny of Cute
terrez.

PROFESSOR VAN HOIST.

Professor Van Hoist was imported
from Prussia as a professor in the
University of Chicago. He is supposed
to possess some ability as a historian,
or more properly, perhaps, as a teacher
of methods of historical study He IS
just now attracting attention by as
sailing the position of Mr. Cleveland
and Secretary Olney in regard to Ven
ezueIa. He insists that they are away
off" on the Monroe doctrine, and on
ground that no nation can occupy.
The trouble with this professor is
thai he has as sovereign contempt for
American opinion and feeling as is en-
tertained by officers in the German
army or by Prussian aristocracy. He
wrote a ponderous constitutional his
tory of the United States some years
ago. In the whole galaxy of Ameri-
can statesmen he found only four or
five men of whom he speaks respect
fully. The rest of them-in fact, JEFF
ferson, Clay, Webster and most of the
able statesmen of both parties
considers a mere Job lot of rather
scurvy politicians.
1t is not matter of wonder that Pro-
fessor Won Hoist should take sides
against the United States. He knows
nothing of American feeling. He
heartily despises American Judgment
President Charles Kendall Adams, is
the author of a Manual Of Historical
Literature, which with great judg-
ment, and careful discrimination gives
the characteristics of every book of
history in a catalC que of several hun
dred. Speaking of Van Holsts con-
stitutional history, on which the au-
thor's fame rests, President Adams
says:
THE point of view from which the
volumes are written may be said to be
that of a political pessimist. 1t would
be difficult to find a passage in the
course of the whole work that shows
an admiration of any one feature of
our institutions, but it would be easy
to point out many that seem 10 indi-
cate a hearty contempt for out politi-
cal theories and methods. If the gen
erous pecuniary support given to the
author for the prosecution of his in
vestigations by the Royal Prussian
Academy of Sciences, and alluded to
in the preface of the third volume,
had been granted for the express pur-
pose of substituting a systematic at
tempt to undermine the foundations
of republican institutions and throw
ridicule upon them in the eyes of roy
alists, the academy would have had
abundant reasons to be satisfied with
the result
The views of one so we'll described
as in the above quotation will have but
little influence on American feeling in
a matter touching American honor,
pride patriotism and interest.
The above criticism was written sew
eral years ago, but it fifty shows up
this German professors unitness as a
guide to American opinion.
