Riley to Crouch.
Herald.

The following, from the pen Of James Whitcomb Riley, is certainly as sweet as the famous song it paraphrases. And yet it is not paraphrase, for we forget all save the tenderness and love It breathes i'll every line: Kathleen Mavourneen, the song is still ringing As fresh and as clear as the tril. af the bird; In world weary hearts it is sobblng and sing
 ing
 In nathos too sweet for the tenderest word. Oh, have we forgotten the one who first
 breathed it2
 And have we forgotten his rapturous art, Our need to the master whose genus pe-
 queathed itY
 Oh. why art thou silent thou voice of my
 heartp
 Kathleen Mavourneen thy lover stili lingersl The long night is waning, the stars pale ana
 few;
 Thy sad serenader with tremulous fingers Is bound with his tears as the lily with aew' The old harp strings quayer, the cid voice IS
 shaking,
 In sighs and in sobs moans the yearhihs ie'
 fraln :. The old vision aims, and the old heare n
 breaking = Kathleen Mayourneen, inspire is again.
 Several years ago James Whltcomp Riley wrote to the writer of this col umn. "The author of Kathleen Ma yourneen' is i'll and in poverty, ana inclosed copy of his own beautlfui verses quoted above, and at that tune Riley rendered the aged and famous song writer substantial aid we repea. that. in the loving tribute quoted, Riley has almost surpassed the orlglnai.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Senator Brice Coins an Apt Campaign
 Phrase.


 Senator Brice has coined a new phrase, and very apt one it is. A day or two ago he was talking with a New England senator who is so earnestly in favor of the nomination of either Reed or Allison that he is half the time in g state of angry excitement. This senator. who is noted for his love of speculation ln Wall street. his penchant for blufing at poker and the stiff hand which he generally plays in politics and legisla- tion, said to MT. Brice:
 We will tie up 100 or 15O southern votes i'll contests. We will take posses sion of the national committee, the com mittee on credentials, the temporary organization of the convention. and we will knock Mckinley out in the first round "
 That is, you say you will, " replied MT Brice, but I'll venture the predic- tion you do nothing of the sort. At St. Louis there will be 20, 900 Mckinley men bowling for fair play, and you fei- lows will weaken. You will never dare play your game out ?
 Don't you think have nerve. Brice?''
 Yes. you have but it is all pre- liminary nerve. Walter Wellman in Chicago Times Herald.

The N Ray and the Sage.

The X ray, wandering about space, looking for something it could not pene- trate, met a sage who had spent many years in the same quest The X ray ask ed the bald philosopher how he was get ting along.
 As you see, said the sage, who in- stantly felt the X ray piercing his skull.
 '.I see that you do not try to deceive me, !" said the X ray, but also SC, that you are not making any progres; whatever ill your efforts to find some thing you can't see through, so your po- lite reply does not after all convey the exact truth. "
 Astonished at such cleyerness, the sage confessed to the X ray i'll strict confidence that the universe had grown very dull to him. T long, " he declared, for the good old days of mystery and wonder It is impossible to keep up one's interest ill things when one has lost the chance of being deceived or eluded upon any point Life's illusions are it's greatest blessings. "
 You speak my inmost thoughts, !" exclaimed the X ray. ''I am young and you are old; but, like you, I am nearly bored to death. Nothing is hidden from me, nothing is softened or beautitied by the mists and veils which ordinarily have wrapped existence in their charm ing and elusive folds I am beginning to wish that had never been discover ed.

The Champion Mean rriok.

The champion mean man sat in an up town cafe yesterday. To him entered q small Italian newsboy with afternoon journals
 s'I can't read, ," evasively said the mean man.
 There pictures ill some of 'em, {" blandly insinuated the lad.
 "No, don't want any newspapers, ? replied the mean man, ''but I'll give you dime if you'll say, 'Hurrah for Abyssinial' 1"
 ..Ror fer 'Byssiniap' repeated the youthful guinea.
 Now, another dime if you'll say, Long live King Menelel, !" continued the mean man.
 The boy repeated the words with en- thusiasm and got his money.
 Now, my dago friend with the fatal gift of beauty" said the mean man, don't you know that you have fore. sworn your country? No? thought not You don't read your own papers. Then what business have you to recommend them to me?"
 But the betrayer of his native land had already fled to the nearest crap game. John Smith in Buffalo Express

grinding and start terrible so aking
when they get on this six miles of track.
The noise comes from not only one car,
but every locomotive. every coach, and
every car of whatever kind sets ND a
grinding as if turning a curve. The
noise is something like the screeching
of an OK cart that has no grease on 1t, and
it is made by every truck on a train. The
track is perfectly straight, and as there
Is no curve at all, the cause of the grind
ing and squeaking has mystifed the rail-
road people. Every effort has been made
to ascertain the cause of the difficulty.
The locomotives have been sorutinized,
every cross tie and every rail has been
inspected every joint has been looked at,
and every foot of the track has been re-
gagged, but no explanation could be
found. The section master has almost
orawled over the six miles on his knees
in search of the cause. The roadmaster
has tried his best to ferret out the matter
and the superintendent has been over the
track and inspected it-all of them max
ing repeated efforts time and again to
find out what is the matter-but they
have given it up AS bad job. They have
not only not been able to discover the
cause of the noise, but have been unable
to discover any theory to explain the
mystery.
1t is one of the rail road mysteries of
the age, and has been going on for TWEEN
ty years. During that tiI.4e the GROSS ties
and rails have been replaced several times
with new ones, but without effect.

NATURAL FAT.
GETTING Fats ONLY A QUESTION OF
EATING PROPER FOOD.

Thin people who want to get fat should
eat proper food and digest it.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin people is
that they suffer from Indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They don't
get enough nourishment. They are slowly
being starved. They are poisoned by the
products of fermented and putrid food.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a gentle, natu-
raj vegetable digestive, attacks the food in
your stomach just like the digestive Juices,
and turns it into heaIthful nourishment. II
helps your stomach naturally 1t makes
thin dispeptics fat. 1t makes poisonous
blood pure. 1t tones up and cures the stom-

Nothing VIII cure indigestion like Shaker
Digestive Cordial, because nothing else
goes SO naturally about it.
This is why it has been so successful in re
lieving nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weak
ness, bad taste, fever, flatulenee, constipa-
ton, loss of appetite, headache, neuralgia,
rheumatism, etc, by curing the disorder
which causes the symptoms.
