A LITTLE BOYS LAMENT.

A-gettin' worms fer bait.

When laid abed so late.
He said that pie was good fer boys,
An candy made 'cm grow.

An loaded it for me.

The hens flew up tree.

With twenty other boys
Pm goin' back to grandpa's,
Where they amt afraid of noise.
He didn't make me comb my hair
But once or twice week;
He wasn't watchin' out fer words

He told me stories bout the war
And Injuns shot out West.
Oh, Pm goin' down to grandpa's,
Fer he knows wot boys like best
He even run race with me,
But had to stop an cough.
He rode my bicycle and laughed
Bec'us' he tumbled off.
He knew the early apple trees
Around within mile.
Oh, grandpa was dandy,
And was Gin it" all the while.

When you took me away.
When you talk to me of heaven,
Where all the good folks go,

An we'll have good times, know.

THE Kansas City Times and other Demo-
cratic papers continue to try to belittle the Pop
ulists who are opposed to fusion. If those pa
pers really desire a union of the forces opposed
to Republicans, they should lett up on this abuse
of those who do not think just as the editors of
those papers do.

GOVERNOR PINGREE has been relieving his
mind again, and the wholesome truths he ut
ters are anything but agreeable to the exploit
ers of the people. "When millionaire SEN
ator sits down to a meal" he declared last
week, 'says grace and puts sugar in his cof-
fee, | wonder how the poor man thinks he is
going to get money to pay for his sugar"
Why, the millionaire senator never bothers his
head about the poor man at all, for he does not
owe his office to the poor mans vote. He owes
his office to the votes of the members of the
legislature whom he has bribed or corrupted.
Governor Pingree said last autumn that it is
wrong to support government by taxing the
people who have no property, and he says now
he is willing to repeat the assertion con every
corner of every street of every city of this
country. "-Twentieth Century.

Perhaps This May Help You.

"My food does me no good" you say.
Then 1t does you harm. There is no,

D;gested food alone gives health and
strength. Undigested food sours, or fer

poison to the whole body. 1t causes head
ache, heart palpitat:on, liver and kidney
trouble, distress after eating, pains in
the chest and sides, and the tired, Ian

about When the digestion goes wrong

Yes, and the mind, too. Men fail in bus
mess and die poor for no other reason
than this-they are weakened, dulled
and stupefed by dyspepsia. The lives

same way. You may be one OF this mis-

THINKS 1T MAY BE HIS BROTHER
A Chicago Business Man Writes Here
About John d. Groves.

Mayor Russ yesterday morning receiv-
ed a letter from a man named George
Groves in Chicago, containing clipping
from a Richmond paper in regard to the
trial of John D. Groves for the murder
VI Henry Wall. near Forestvilie. The
writer Of the letter wanted to know IL
John d. Groves was John Daniel Groves,
his brother. He went on to say:
'My brother left his wife and two
children about four years ago, and the
last time anything was heard Of him was
about two years ago from a town In
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. He was
then sailing the seas. He is now twenty
eight years old, about 5 feet, 8 inches
When saw him six years ago, he had
no sign Of beard; fair complexion, promi-
nent forehead and blue grey eyes. You
can probably inform me if the person is
my brother. or is he man who has all
ways lived in North Carolina. have en-
deavored several times to locate him, but
this is the first clue / have and fear
it is too true that it is he"
Groves was seen in Jail by q News and
Observer reporter and shown a copy Of
the letter. He said he was not the man
inquired about, though the description
given fits him exactly, except that he has
mustache. He said his name is John
Dawson Groves. He was born In North
Carolina-in Duplin county-and lived
there until he was 10 years old. Sine,
then ne has principally been employed as
section hand on railroads in North
Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia
He thinks, however, that it Is not
improbable that the writer Of the lette4
may be his cousin, as he had two uncles-
one in Baltimore and one in Pittsburg
Pa. The Baltimore uncle was named
John Daniel Groves and Pittsburg rela-
tive was James Groves. Both Of then,
are now dead, but they had children, and
though Groves never saw any of then,
or heard their names, he thinks tn,
writer Of the letter and the lost brothe,
may be members Of one OF these branches
Of his family.

ShtaJ Was Not Bad.

A packed gallery and a good house
greeted the first minstrel show of the
season here. 1t was Barlow Brothers at
the Metropolitan Opera House last night
AS it was the first minstrel of the
season, and the audience was
generous. The occupants Of
the reserved seats applaud
ed some and laughed more, the gallery
gods yelled and stamped and could never
get enough Of song, dancing and music
There were some hoary old jokes that
come every season and songs that our
fathers used to applaud on similar occa-
sions, but for the most part the show
was good one. The costumes were
new and bright, the music was good, and
the dancing was excellent. The
"Posum ala" dance was something new
and original. With the exception of
Eberhardt, in his astonishing feats Of
ingglery, it was the best thing in the
show.

ON 'CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, May 6.-There was consid-
cradle strength apparent in today's market
but 1t was due rather to the combined
effect of special influences on individual
stocks than to any developments in affairs
affecting values generally in the market.
The narrowness of the market and its pro-
fessional character left it very suscepti-
Bile to such influences and the fact that the
hort interest has been largely reduced
was shown by the small dimensions of the
manipulate movements to offset the ad-
vances. 1t will be remembered that the
prices were sold off to some extent yester-
day on the supposition that British hold
erS of American securities would reflect
the public resentment heretofore mani
tested over the rejection by the senate of
the arbitration treaty by offering them for
sale. AS nothing of the kind occurred the
international stocks, on the contrary show
ing rather exceptional strength it was
natural that there should be some recovery
of yesterdays losses. Another favoring
influence was that today was the time set
by the exchange houses for definitely de-
Gliding. whether they should make further
gold shipments as protected was accepted
as an encouraging feature Of the general
situation. Many stock movements were
largely due to special influences and their
influence on the general list was only SYM
pathetic. There was more or less restric-
tion manifest in the movement of Sugar

THE LIFE AFTER DEATH
Mrs. Besant's Last LectUre-She Goes
North Today

At Mrs. Besant's fourth lecture yes
terday afternoon in Odd Fellows hall,
there was a large audience who were
anxious to learn what she had to say
of the life hereafter. She assured her
hearers that what she was to tell them
was not theoretical nor speculative, but
actual and accurate deductions based
upon personal, first hand experience, as
one would state fact of science de-
duced from careful experiment.
Reference was made to the belief that
death is but the gate-keeper into life,
and that fhis life is but trying ex-
perience. The speaker held that such
a view of death was more RATIONAL and
that if one believed at all in immortality
it was inconsistent that they should
view death as lamentable. Men should
try to realize that they are the soul and
that the possession df this body by the
soul is incidental. The soul does not
change it's character after death, it is
only the habiliment that changes, and
as the soul increases in wisdom, knowl-
edge and power here, SO shall it have the
more to take with it from life to life via
death and re-birth.
Mrs. Besant then proceeded to differ
entiate the various bodies or vestures
Of the soul in the astral and heavenly
worlds, in which she dwelt and forcibly
reiterated as she has in her other lee
lures the vital necessity of right living
and right thinking in this life that the
next step might be an advance and so
on through the infinite number of con-
ditions and degrees of soul evolution.
Mrs. Besant leaves today for San Fran
cisco.
