THERE'S NO ONE LIVING THERE.

The old home is deserted and there's no
one living there;
And the signs Of wreck and ruin are
about it everywhere.
The stables all have fallen down, the
meat-house-all is gone;
And through the broken windows, day
and night the Wild winds moan.
The palings all have rotted off, the yard
shows lack of care.
For the old home is deserted, and there's
no one living there.
The stoves gone from the kitchen, where
in happy days of old
| hurried in to warm me, when the after
Moons were cold
Gone are the fragrant odors which in
those days used to greet.
The men folks as they waited, while
Kitty fried the meat
And the fires out in mothers room, the
big room up the stair
For the old place is deserted, and there's
no one living there.
Long ago the light left mothers eyes,
and we laid her down to rest,
In quiet and unbroken sleep meath the
green earth's grassy breast;
Long ago the nest was broken up, and
each one went his way,
To seek his fortune far afield, and |
alone today,
Stand and view the spot where once /
roamed, boy without care,
But the old homes now deserted, and
there's no one Lying there.
So sadly now, turn again to where the
great world lies,
With its struggles and its burdens, but
the tears are in my eyes
To seethe wreck which time has wrought
with what / loved SO we'll
And something rises in my throat and
seems to choke and swell.
For soon there win not be trace of what
was passing fair,
Ere the old home was deserted when
we all were living there.

WILL Go TO NASHVILLE.
The President and Party will Attend
the Exposition Wednesday, The
Tariff Bill Progressing.
(From our Regular Correspondent

(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 7, I8o7.-Presi-
dent Mckinley is naturally of an
obliging disposition and nothing
would please him more than to accept
all the invitations that have been ex-
tended to him by cities and towns
through which he will pass on his
way to and from the Nashville EXPOSE
ton, but it is absolutely impossible
for him to do 50, as the time set aside
for the trip is necessarily limited. He
will leave Washington next Wednes
day morning, accompanied by dis
tinguished party made up of members
of the Cabinet, Senators, Representa-
tives and other officials, many OF
whom will be accompanied by the
ladies of their families. The party
will be in Nashville on Ohio day at
the Exposition.
While the progress on the tariff
bill in the Senate is not altogether as
rapid as Republicans would like it to
be, it is, circumstances considered,
satisfactory. More so. in fact, than
many had expected it to be, just as
the bill is being made better than
many Republicans expected it
would be when the amended bill was
reported to the Senate. The original
Dipgley bill was far more satisfactory
to Republicans of the rank and file
than the bill as amended by the Senate
Committee, and they are correspond
ingly pleased at the tendency of the
steering committee of the Senate to
restore the House schedules, or at
least to make them nearer them than
to the schedules of the amended bill,
While it cannot be officially announc-
ed that the sugar schedule Of the
original bill will be restored, it seems
to be almost certain that the Dingley
schedule will be made the basis for
the sugar schedule that will be in
serted in place of the one prepared by
the Senate Finance Committee, which
many Republicans considered one Of
the most Objectionable in the amended
bill. All ofthis makes it certain that
the prophecy in this correspondence
that the bill as finally passed would
be good one will turn out to be true.

Fashion Notes.

The coloring Of oriental rugs is less
likely to be out of harmony with wall
decoration than any other borrower
ing.
| Painted woodwork is more desirable
than natural finish for bedrooms, or
wherever especially dainty effects are
desired
Lace draperies are used on almost
all dress materials. Combinations of
color are among the favorite studies OF
artists in costuming.
Hairdressing is growing more and
more elaborate. The tresses are close
ly crimped and arranged very loosely
over the sides of the head.
Silk is SO cheap that it is almost a
glut in the London market. The
newest patterns are early Victorian in
design and color. Small and large
checks, conventional flora, and geome-
trio figures denote return to old
modes.
Women of wealth who have stores
of costly lace are having priceless
shawls made over, or draped, into the
popular style Less fortunate ones
have the opportunity to buy lovely
garnitures ready made for small
sum.
Taylor-made coats and skirts alike,
OF cloth, tweed or cheviot, are quite
as much worn as ever, and there is no
end Of fancy waists to wear with
them, the most pronounced Of all
being those Of bright plaid silk, made
up in the shirt-waist style.
The latest fancy in nightigowns is
called the Bernhardt; it is very full,
gathered into form an empire waist,
has voluminous sleeves, and is made
Of India lawn or China silk. Chiffon
cite. a finer, softer silk. is the perfec-
ton Of material for this sort Of a
gown. but nothing is so satisfactory
after all as the India lawn and fine
nainsooks that can pass muster in the
laundry.

The Latest Scientific Explanation Of
Its Origin and Purpose.

Ing LATEST 0(tCtttAft@ GAVtNuMttVU VI
It's Origin and Purpose.
Where did the camel get its hump
Be it known that camels did not
originally have humps on their backs.
So says Professor Cattaneo of the Ital-
ian Institute Of Science. The proof
that they did not and the explanation
of why they have them now is given
by this savant in recently nnhlished
monograph, which is the result Of
scientific study of the subject
The llama is known to haye been
used as beast of burden centuries be-
fore the discovery of the Western
Hemisphere, but it is asserted that
thousands Of years before the first
llama carried load upon its back the
camel had been domesticated and was
used for the transportation OF burdens.
1t is upon this point that the italian
savant rests his theory as to the
formation Of that animals hump.
In the beginning. he says, the camel,
like the llama, was straight OF back,
but 100 centuries, perhaps. of making
pack animal Of the camel have
brought about the change. AT first
the skin grew loose upon the camel's
back. Then there and upon its knees
the skin grew thick and callous. Soon
nature began to pad this burdened
part with fat and muscle, then for
countless generations heredity did its
work. Little by little the hump
grew. until it finally acquired its
present size.
The use of the camel in the desert
places of the world also played its
part in the formation of this portion
Of its anatomy For, being forced to
20 without food for days at time,
nature came to the rescue of the cam
Ell and providently stored these humps
with fat which should nourish the
beast through its periods Of privation.

THE MAN THE PRINTER LOVES.

There is man the printer loves.
and he is wondrous wise; whene'er he
writes the printer man he dotteth all
his is. And when he's dotted all OF
them with carefulness and ease, he
punctuates each paragraph and cross
es all his It's. Upon one side alone
he writes, and never rolls his leaves,
and from the man of ink smile and
mark ''insert" receives. And when
a question he doth ask-taught wise
ly he has been-he doth the goodly
stamp enclose for postage back put in
He gives the place from which he
writes--the address the printer needs
and plainly writes his honored
name, so he that runneth reads. He
writes, revises, reads, corrects and re-
writes all again, and keeps one copy
safe and sends one to the printer man.
And thus by taking little pains. at
Timing SdAC am Soott assures ulHSClI
his manuscript will not be burned or
lost. So let those who long to write
take pattern by this man. with jet
black ink and paper do just what
they can, and then the printer man
shall know and bless them as his
friends all through life's journey as
they 60 until that journey ends. ~ Elk.

and their successor appointed as early
as possible This does not indicate
any change in the policy OF allowing
postmasters to serve a full term of
four years, unless there are causes for

sible, be in charge of their offices at

The first result of the investigation
of the workings of the civil service
rules IS the unanimous report OF the
Committee on reform in the civil service
in favor Of Senator Gallinger's amenc-
rnent to the general deficiency APP
preparation Bill abrogating all civil
service rules which apply to any
class of laborers. This amendment
is in line with common sense, and
will be sure to become a law. Talk
with Senator Pritchard and other
members Of, the committee makes it
reasonably certain that other and
more important recommendation as
to exceptions from the civil service
rules will he made by the committee
a little later.
In accordance with decision ar
rived at soon after his inauguration,
President Mckinley has nominated
EEllis II. Roberts, of New York, to be
Treasurer of the United States al d
Conrad N. Jordan to be Assistant
Treasurer at New York. Mr.. Jordan's
nomination is for a second term, as
he is Gold Democrat and held the
position under the Cleveland admins
tration
There is another B in the field for
the Democratic free silver and free
trade presidential nomination in 1900.
1t is Bailey, OF Texas, who has the
support of majority of the Demo
Gratis in the House in his efforts to be
their leader. Mr.. Bailey figures that
he is quite as much of an orator as
Mr.. Bryan, and quite as much entitled
to the nomination. After the nomi-
nation of Bryan. no sensible man
would doubt the possibility of any
action by Democratic convention.
Neither Of them are fitted for so
responsible place as the Presidency,
but Bailey has been regarded as less
of a demagogue than Bryan, although
getting the Presidential fever may
cause him to ut-Bryan Bryan in that
direction.
Attorney General McKenna is
going to try his hand at enforcing the
Sherman antitrust law. which the
Cleveland administration declared
could not be enforced. He has direct
ed that suit be entered in the U. S.
Circuit Court against the Traders
Live Stock Exchange, of Kansas City,
for violation of the antitrust law by
boycotting commission merchants
who sold stock to those who did not
belong to the exchange.

faithful and cannot deny Himself.
Then strive not about foolish words,
babblings; but shun them another
reason: The Lord Is sure and knows
