THE CURTAIN FALLS.

Over the sorrow and over the bliss,
Over the teardrop, over the kiss,
Over the crimes that blotted and blurred,
Over the wound of the angry word,
Over the deeds in weakness done,
Over the battles lost and won,
Now at the end of the flying year,
Year that tomorrow will not be here.
Over our freedom. over our thralls,
In the dark and the midnight, the cur
tain falls.
Over our gain and over our loss,
Over our crown and over our cross,
Over the fret of our discomfort,
over the i'll that we never meant,
Over the scars of our self-denial,
over the strength that conquered trial,
Now in the end of the flying year,
Year that tomorrow will not be here,
Quietly final, the prompter calls;
Over it swiftly the curtain falls.
Over the crowds and the soitudes,
Over our shifting. hurrying moods,
Over the hearths where bright flames
leap.
Over the cribs where the babies sleep,
Over the clamor, over the strife,
Over the pageantry of life,
Now in the end of the flying year,
Year that tomorrow will not be here,
Swiftly and surely, from starry walls,
Silently downward the curtain falls.

An incident occurred on suburban
electric car that caused a laugh among
the passengers. A large man who ev-
identity was a native of the Emerald
Isle, was seated about half way up the
car. Between his teeth was a half
smoked cigar, which had long since
gone out: Before the man had ridden
many blocks, the lynx-eyed gentle
man who assists Mr.. Lowry by acting
as captain, purser, Grst-mate and pilot
of the car caught sight Of the cigar.
He fastened up the aisle and tapped
the brawny and witty passenger on
the shoulder, saying:
"If you want to smoke you'll have
to move back a few seats.
"Oi don't want to smoke.
"You are smoking.
"Oi am not.
"Well," said the conductor begin
ming to loose his temper, "it looks like
it. You've got your cigar in your
mouth. "

Prof. c. had been to spend the ev-

was about to leave it was raining very
heavily, wherefore the hostess kindly
offered him Accommodations for the night
which he readily accepted. The guest
suddenly disappeared, nobody know

family were about to retire for the
night, when Prof. c. walked in, as
wet as drowned rat. He had been
home to get his night shirt.

The Maple Syrup Industry.

This is the time of year when maple
syrup takes its proper place as king of
the condiments at the breakfast table.
1t comes in with buckwheat cakes and
fried hominy.
There Is Just round million Of dol
lars invested in this country in the
machinery which produces and puri-
fies the syrup. The industry is con-
fined almost entirely to the few States
north Of Massachusetts,. That Is be-
cause the maple tree refuses to flourish
in any but cold climate, 1t won t
grow in the Northwestern States, for
the reason that it has to have plenty
of moisture, and that is to be had only
near the ocean.
Fully 30 per cent of the maple syrup
and maple sugar produced in this coun-
try comes from Vermont. The annual
yield of syrup and sugar Of that State
is valued at something like half mil
lion dollars.
Seyenty-fve per cent Of the product
is consumed in this country, and the
rest is exported to Europe. But it is
not in common use beyond the sea for
the reason that it is very expensive be-
cause of the freight and duty. In
England it is to be found in many of
the homes of the nobility, where it is
regarded in high favor, not only be-
cause it is delicate and sweet, but be-
cause it is a unique and costly product.
There is good deal of mystery
about the origin of the production of
maple sugar and syrup. By whom it
was first discovered will probably
never be known.
The maple tree is active in summer
and passive in winter. The tree is ex-
tremely porous, there being, according
to the highest authority, about lOO,-
100000 cells in every cubic inch of the
wood. In summer the tree absorbs
moisture into all these cells, which is
condensed into water. This water,
minghng with the natural saccharine
properties of the tree, becomes maple
syrup in crude form.
The tree is also extremely sensitive
to weather conditions. When in Feb.
ruary and March the maple begins to
"sweat," as the New England farmer
terms it, the tree wishes to unburden
itself, and it does so, whether the farm
er is on hand to get the benefit of the
process or not. But the farmer is gen.
orally on hand.
Before machinery was invented for
the purpose the farmer used to furrow
the trunk of the tree by slashing the
bark lengthwise with a knife Then
he cut deep burrows all around the
tree near its base. a trough attached
to the lowest of these furrows carried
the syrup from the tree to the dripping
bucket, and that constituted the pro-
gress of getting the product.
The farmer nowadays goes up to a
tree that is sweating" casts his eye
at the softast spot in the trunk and
drives into it to a depth of several
inches metal tap, and this relieves
the tree in splendid shape The tree
appears just as anxious to get rid o.
the sap as the farmer is to gather it.

OUTSIDE ADVERTISING.
A Collateral Benefit Secured Through
 the Carnival Season.

The leading journals outside of Ari- zcna have been more than kind in their notices of the Phoenix gala time. The Los Angeles Times, through local Correspondent Hermans and Artist lChapin has printed already number of excellent and well illustrated arti- cles and will follow them with a spe- cial edition devoted to the carnival and to Phoenix. The Los Angeles Herald has taken advantage of the occasion to enlist Artist Coker in a number of Wild West Arizona illustrations, while the Los Angeles Express has been more than kind in editorial mention. In San Francisco The Examiner is taking the keenest interest in the af- fair and presenting it in detail to its readers and the interest is shared by the other San Francisco dailies. Twenty or more newspaper correspon- dents are in the city and the celebrity given to the city by the success of the carnival will far more than serve to compensate for the cost.

It will be the mardi-gas parade and celebration. For the greater part the plans of the management and the char i acter of the costumes to be assumed are secret, but enough is known to assure the public that the nights en- tertainment will be of character that will furnish enjoyment to the crowd No flour will be thrown, but other wise the city will be for the time being under the scepter of King Misrule and sedate man will be considered an en- emy of the carnival state l With the disappearance of the mer- rymakers will end the carnival and the sober progress of business will be i resumed.

Return of the Visiting California Bus
 mess Men.

The Los Angeles merchants who left early yesterday morning, took with them none but pleasant impressions of their stay in Phoenix. Breakfast was taken at Prescott, where the visitors were met by delegation of citizens and then all were driven about the beautiful mountain city and shown the attractions that are so apparent. Then at noon the Pullman cars were attached to the regular northbound train and the westward way was re- stunned from Ash Fork.
 Before leaving Phoenix the follow ing resolutions were drawn up and forwarded to Director General Hatch:

DEAD BODY FOUND.
One Foot Frozen in the Mud-Believed
 to Be a Murder.

MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. 21.-The dead body of Elmer Sheets was found lying alongside the Lake Erie & Western tracks Both feet, one of which was bare, were frozen in the mud and his body was covered with an inch of snow that had fallen during the night There are six small gashes on the left side of the face. It was necessary to chop the mud from around the feet before the body could be moved. The six gashes are about an inch in length and were made by a sharp instrument which crushed the skull near the temple, causing death. There was slight bruise on his left side. He was not killed by the train, as none passed after TAO p. m. and he was seen after that hour. The belief is that he was murdered.

 'fFor months past I have received letters from all sections of the country urging me to enter the lists as can didate These letters came from com rades in the war of the rebellion, from associates in public life, and in addi- tion I have received many personal re- quests from fellow citizens in Ne braska Before leaving home for Washington the urgency was of such emphatic character that I decided to make no further opposition, and to re- main passive. I can now simply say that under this urgency and the kindly encouragement that has followed it, | can do nothing but stand and wait ,

RECOGNITION FOR CUBA. Earnestly Advocated In
 the Senate. Feared It Would Bring a Span
 iSh War.
Shown That the Insurgents Have Successfully Maintained
 Their Government.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-The Gu ban question has been before the sen ate for several days for definite and final action and it is expected that votes will be taken at an early day on several pending propositions giving recognition of Cuban Independence.
 MT Morgan of Alabama is of the opinion that war between the United States and Spain would result from recognizing CuIbans as belligerents.
 In graphically picturing ahe rise and spread of rebellion MT Lodge of Mas sachusetts said, "A year ago the Gu ban revolution began, with a small band of 500 men. With the vast will derness of lying bulletins that come from Spanish sources, it is very diff cult and it is not Wor tn while perhaps to try to trace the battles, which have been fought. But here are certain grave racts which there is no mistak- ing: "These men who started feebly a year ago in the eastern part of the is land have crept over that island from one end to the other
 ''The 500 have grown until today ros- tile accounts represent them at 45,000 in full. We know the railroad lines are cut, that telegraph lines are down that every reort Of Spanish victory that comes to us in the newspapers is followed by statements of fresh in surgent advances. We know as a mat tier of fact that the whole of that island today, except where the Spanish fleets ride at anchor and where Spanish ar mics are encamped, is in the hands of the insurgents. We know they have formed a government, that they have held two elections, that every officer in the army holds his commission from a government which they have estab- lished. We know the term of that pro visional government and in the pres ence of these facts and of the fighting that these men have done, I think, il not unreasonable of them to ask some recognition at the hands of the United States"
 MT. Cameron of Pennsylvania gave notice that if the resolution was adopt ed requesting Spain to act and she dit not, he would then move for an i'm mediate and complete recognition oi Cuban Independence.
