My Love,

My Love.
NY love ia true and tender,
Her eyes are rich with rest;
Her hair Of dappled splendor,
The color I love best:
So sweet, so gay. so odorous warm.
She nestles here, heart-high,
A bounteous aspect beauteous form.
But-Just wee bit sly.
My love Is not an angel
In one or two small things:
But just wifely woman
With other wants than wings.
You have some little leaven
OF earth, you darling dear!
II you were fit for heaven,
You might not nestle here.
Gerald Massey. In N. z. Ledger.
Twilight.
Sweet twilight trips with lightsome grace
Adown the western hin,
And holds In leash the winds of eve
To let them go at will.
Arrayed In robes of beauty rare
OF ever changing light.
She beckons as she heralds now
The coming of the night.
On. on she glides and touches now
The stars, and one by one
They CLEAN and sparkle round her head
Like dew-drops in the sun.
And Luna. riding high above,
Cleans with luster rare;
The starry hosts pale low before
The queen Of heaven fair.
w. T. Olcott. In Peterson's Magazine.
From the Monkeys Point of View.
The ostrich has wings. but he cannot fly;
The horse has only one toe;
Have you noticed the size Of the elephants
eyes?
Or the pitch Of the ROSTERS crow?
The fox has brush, but he does not paint
And l think 1t a capital Joke
That the goat has horns which he cannot
blow
And beard that he cannot stroke.
think this Is quite the funniest world
That ever a wight could see.
But the most ridiculous things Of all
Are the people who laugh at me!

THAT PHILADELPHIA VISIT.

The Philadelphia Ledger. loyal to it's
city and people, declares there is evil
IDENTIFY transformation in Washington
on the subject of the callers upon
President Mckinley during his stay in
that city on the occasion of the dedi-
cation Of the Washington monument
1t says a cabinet officer is quoted as
saying that the president was impor-
tuned by office-seekers at all stages
of his visit, when, as a matter of fact
special care was taken while he was
there to protect him from annoyance
The mayor and members of the So
ciety of the Cincinnati were with him
during all of his waking hours, says
the Ledger, and none of those would
be guilty Of the. discourtesy of making
his holiday dreary by harassing him
with talks on politics, and that while
in his apartments at the hotel the
doors were guarded by agents of the
police department, and no one was per-
mitted to intrude upon his privacy. 1t
is possible that the cabinet officer in
question may have met with some of
the politicians, but there is every rea-
son to doubt that the president was
importuned by such persons. Before
his departure he expressed himself as
delighted with the arrangements made
for his safety and comfort, and there
is abundant warrant for the belief that
at no time was he bothered by any
body's intrusions or duplication.
OF the personnel of the Society of the
Cincinnati we know nothing but they
must be a remarkable set of men from
what the Ledger says of them. 1t
would not be bad idea TO make them
permanent body guard to the presi-
dent to protect him from the office
seekers. They might become a part
of the presidents official household
That the president enjoyed his visit
to Philadelphia there can be no doubt
The place itself is so quiet and restful
and it would seem doubly so after the
turmoil incident to new administra-
ton in the first few months after its
Inauguration.

be prepared for such event. There is
not, however, the slightest likelihood
OF Spain declaring war against the
United States. 1t would be the height
of folly. Spain is in no way prepared
for hostilities. If Morgan's resolution
goes no further than the senate it will
have a deadly effect on Spanish credit.
Spanish bonds are at discount; her
paper money possesses but little value;
her credit is practically gone, and she
is making a desperate effort to create a
larger bonded Indebtedness and re-
establish her credit, and this resolution
will of itself make that event almost
impossible.
That the effect would be as here de-
scribed. so far as the right to buy arms
and ammunition and the like is con-
cerned, is as stated, but we confess we
do not like what the senator says about
the likelihood of Spain declaring war
as a consequence of the recognition of
Cuban belligerency. 1t looks as though
there were a desire to take advantage
of decadent nation at a time when
Its treasury and credit are at the low
est and its resources of men and ma
terial are practically exhausted 1t
lays the United States open to the
charge so frequently made against
Great Britain-that she is always bull
lying small and weak nations while
studiously avoiding any possible con-
fiict with nations of like power and re-
sources with herself. Spain probably
wouldn't consider the height of folly
nor her unpreparedness for war should
she feel that her national honor re-
qu1red her to declare war. She is q
nation of great pride, and great pride is
about the most stubborn and unreason-
ing thing on the face of the earth.
Then this country isn't overwhelmingly
prepared for war; nor is it improbable
that Spain would put up much better
fight than many imagine. But whether
she would or not, Senator Aliens talk
strikes US as being in quite bad taste.

SOME ADVANTAGES OF AGE.

Old age has its advantages, as we'll
as youth, and a retrospect may be
more beautiful than prospect. A
prospect may turn hope to disappoint-
rnenI, but around a retrospect there
are the memories of lifetime, mem
cries mingled with sadness and joy,
but dear withal.
Yesterday 4 number of gentlemen
were gathered in the Office of leading
business man and conversation soon
became reminiscent. The gentlemen
We're not aged. nor were they youth
full; perhaps most of them had passed
the meridian of life, but whether they
count many or comparatively few mile
stones along life's highway, they were
in a youthful. in fact a mirthful, mood
yesterday. After indulging in the
pleasant pastime Of picking a few of
their friends to pieces (men are gossips.
trary Notwithstanding one of them
said that age had one decided advan-
tage over youth. This decided advan-
tage was. that of drawing the long bow
and having no one to question: or doubt.
The advantage is great, is inestimable
When seventy years have rested down
upon ones head and siIvered his locks
it is his privilege to be as egotistical as
he pleases, for his vanity is no longer
called by that harsh name. When a
man looks venerable he is usually
treated with generation, and it is the
privilege of the generation and time to
which he belonged to seem great, and
if he tells of that greatness, can any
doubt il? If he relates deeds that pro-
claim his own valor, where are his
contemporaries to dispute him? If he
tells of deeds done and dangers passed
that would be impossible to men of the
present generation, one does not be-
come incredulous, but says: There
We're giants in those days The simple
fact that a man has lived three score
and ten years is something to boast of.
Yes. Age has its advantages, not the
least valuable of which is that of tell
ing unconscionable yarns and having
them accepted as the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth.

EFFECT OF MoRGAN's REsoLU-
TON.

The Omaha World Herald asked
Senator William V. Allen what would
be the effect of the Morgan resolution
when signed by the president. After
stating what would be the legal effect
of the resolution, Senator Allen said,
in part:
The enactment of Senator Morgan's
resolution into a law would in itself be
a. recognition of beiligerent rights in
the Cuban insurgents and would place
them upon an equality with Spain IN
our markets and ports. They could
then buy guns. ammunition and sup
plies of all kinds as freely and unre-
stractedly ass can Spain or any other
country. 1t might be construed by
Spain into a casus belli, but we should

as usual. but seeming to be all right, and
Wednesday morning he was found dead
in his bed. AS men average UP out this
way, the major was a good man. We
early discovered that he fed from the
east on account of embezzleme1t, but
even when he threatened our life, as he
did on several occasions, never mentioned
the fact to him. He wanted to run US as
editor and mayor, and because he could

about half the time. We had to shoot
him on three different occasions. but we
always shot gently, with no intention TO
kill. ard have the receipts to prove that
we paid his doctor bills. When his better
nature prevailed he was our good friend
and kept our demijohn always empty and
was always in our debt for borrowed
money. We can't say that the soul of
Major Williams went straight from Give
adam Gulch to heaven, but we do believe
that much of the rough trail was made
smooth and that the change has been to
his benefit. NJ. QUAD.

ARIZONA KICKER STORIES.
He is Mistaken.

Mr.. Silas Jackson of Pine Hill spent
Wednesday night last in the town lock-
up at Giveadam Gulch and next morning
he went home threatening a damage suit
against us as mayor. He got drunk and
fired seven bullets into the front doors OF
the city hall. and as the city marshal was
not at hand we gave him the collar and
marched him off. Mr.. Jackson claims that
the first he knew of our presence was
when his heels struck a billboard at a
height of six feet from the earth. He
contends that he was acting in a riotouS
manner and that it was our duty as
mayor to have read him the riot act and
commanded him to dispense. He will base
his suit on this, but we wish to inform
him that technicalities don't go in this
town. We have always carried a copy of
the riot act in our vest pocket since being
elected to the mayoralty. but have never
yet met with a riot which seemed too big
for US to suppress in the ordinary way. If
We buck up against something with four
or five good men in the front row we shall
stop to read the act in a loud voice. but
if there is only one man. and we can get
a hand on his collar and our knee in the
small of his back he's got to dispense
without any further formality. Mr.. Jack
son shouldn't be captious over small
things.
