Nuisance Not Easily Abated

1t is impossible to suppress the tramp
with our present legal facilities and al
most equally impossible to detect him
in the commission of crime, while, he has
at command a system of terrorizing
which makes a man, or even a commu
nifty, afraid to antagonize him, lest he
take stealthy but summary vengeance.
In short, the tramp is a law-defying and
law-escaping nuisance, who grows bold
er and more of nuisance continually
but whom society has yet found no ad-
equate means of abating.-Philadelph

At this moment we are passing over
that tract Of political territory which
intervenes between a definite past and
possible future. We can look back and
see very clearly all that lies behind.
But in front of us the way is not SO
certain. Mists obscure 1t; and through
the mist We hear strange, dissonant
voices. All that we surely know is that
it is beset by many difficulties.

Senator Morgan's Visit

The Pacific coast has no better friend
in congress than Senator John T. Nor
gan of Alabama, who will soon visit
California. He has been a staunch and
true friend of our every interest and
should be made to feel that we appre-
ciate his stand in our behalf. He Is the
especial advocate Of the building Of the
Nicaragua canal and has practically
kept that enterprise alive in the senate
for the last six or seven years. Cali

HOW 1T HAPPENED

pray you, pardon me, Elsie,
And smile that frown away
That dims the light of your lovely face
AS a thunder cloud Of day;
really could not help it
Before thought twas done
And those great gray eyes flashed bright
and cold
Like an icicle in the sun.
was thinking of the summers
When we were boys and girls,
And wandered in the blossoming woods,
And the gay winds romped with your
curls
And you seemed to me the same little girl
l kissed in the alder path
kissed the girls lips, and, alas!
have reused woman's wrath.
There is not so much to pardon
For why were your lips SO red?
The blond hair fell In shower of gold
From the proud, provoking head,
And the beauty that flashed from that
splendid eye
And played round the tender mouth,
Rushed over my soul like warm, sweet
wind
That blows from the fragrant south.
And where after all, is the harm done?
| l believe we were made to be gay,
And all Of youth not given to love
| Is vainly squandered away
And strewn through lifes low labors.
Like gold in the desert sands,
Are loves swift kisses and sighs and vows
And the clasp of clinging hands.
And when you are old and lonely,
| In Memory's magic shrine,
You will see, on your thin and wasting
| hands,
Like gems, those kisses of mine
And when you muse at evening
| At the sound of some vanished name.
The ghost Of my kisses snail touch your
lips
And kindle your heart to flame.
