THE DAWN OF LOVE.

Bright are the skies with the tint Of
the rainbow,
Glad is the earth at the birth Of a
day,
Joyous the trees raise their heads from
the twilight
To catch the first kiss Of the SUMS
herald ray.
Flowers and leaves sing together and
glisten,
Rejecting in dew the joy of the sun,
Scatt'ring the gems for the fairies to
gather,
When the moon-lighted revels at
night are begun.
Glad is the world to the heart of a
maiden,
Joyous and gay, both below and
above,
Filled with the brightness that comes
with the morning,
When in her soul stirs the dawnin
of love.
New is the world to the youth in his
spirit,
Knows the first movement Of love
newly born,
Changed as the world from the gra
Of the twilight,
To the roses and gold that are spread
by the morn.

What the People Are Saying.

What the People Are Saying.
For the Daily Light
The people have very little to say
about the drill. The people were led
to believe that the drill would be the
biggest thing that ever San Antonio
invested in. The Business Mems club
said so, and it must be so.
That there was a mistake made
about the drill is very apparent. The
idea of having a military tournament
in San Antonio, Texas, in midsummer
was something like inviting the base
ball hosts to play champion game in
the summer residence of his Satanic
Majesty.
OF course San Antonio furnished the
money and the audience. The drill
has left the town a little worse off
than it was before.
No matter, the Business Mems club
is game, and from drill it pitches into
a railroad scheme with old man Lott,
of Arkansas Pass memory, as leading
character.
What is the matter with us? Do we
want a railroad? We want something
that is certain. Our real estate is not
worth, under the hammer, the taxes.
We are paying to high for the lux
ury of local government.
Our taxes is consuming our property,
state, county and city. The expendi-
lures for local government should be
brought down to the lowest possible
figure There is no use to submit to
confiscation.
The Business Mems club should turn
their attention for a brief period to
our local affairs. Never mind about
Lofts railroad scheme, which will, like
the Arkansas Pass scheme, make him
rich at the expense of the people who
invested in the road.
San Antonio built the Arkansas Pass
road and yet we could not get the ma
chine shops located at San Antonio.
What good will another road do US?
So far the railroads have taken away
more from San Antonio than they have
brought to us.
Build up more local interests and let
the railroads find us. Towns that have

When through the tunnels gliding.
And when his friends in cruel chaff
Put phos-'hrous on his jacket,
They thought the people wrong to

And kick up such a racket.
We always laugh at love in cot
and the cowardly way it has OF leav-
ing by the window when poverty only
knocks at the door; and we soon at
the pre-occupied youth who hangs up
his cigar and throws away his hat be-
cause he is dead to the work-a-day
world, and is living in the frail palace
of loves young dream, but many OF us
would give all we possess to know
again the delicious altar nations OF
hope and despair, the thrills of JOY and
the terrible earnestness of our cali
love. 1t is an era in our life when
loves dawn throws on our pathway
her first beams of rosy light. The
world is transformed, the common
place vanishes, we tread nair, reed
on nectar and revel in a new heaven
and a new earth. LIES inevitable
clouds soon hide the dazzling splendor,
and, for a time, we think our night
has come; and, though the steady glow
of temperate daylight may return, and
even mellow to almost equal glories In
the calm brilliance of the sunset,
nothing con ever restore to us the per-
fumed vigor the intoxicating fresh
ness.

THE LOVER AND IT'S LASS.

1t was lover and its lass
Who went one day a-wooing.
They sat them down upon the grass
A-billing and a-cooing.
And ere the morrow's sun did set
The sighed a bitter pain-o,
Alas. alas, the grass was wet
They won't go there again-o.
It was a lover and its lass
Who sat down on railing,
And watched the sweeping shadows
pass
And marked the sun APPALLING.
And when they went back home again
Their happiness was tainted,
They heard with mingled grief and
pain
The fence had been freshly painted.
II was a lover and its lass
Who on the cars a-riding,
Would kiss and spoon as bold as brass

MOTLEY MUSINGS.
In Poetry and Prose, for the Sunday
Light by Querque.
Copyrighted by Dave & Taber.)

Love moves alike the mighty mon
arch and the humble peasant. Love
makes the young man blush and STAN
mer and the young girl giggle and
shipper. Love tears inspires apart and
divides the humble inmates of the low
ly cot. Love scrapes the youths
neck with a dreadful collar and helps
the maiden to endure tight-lacing.
Love laughs at distance and dispises
difficulties. Love prompts bad poetry
and leaves breakfast to grow cold.
love is more powerful than ambition
or wisdom OF philosophy and stronger
than death or scent whiskey.

| GREAT is THE POWER OF LOVE.

They say that love is stronger
Than death or anything,
And that it lasts much longer
So all the poets sing
OF love in the morning early
And love in the dead OF night,
And love all the day
Till we're tempted to say
That love is a terrible blight!
They say loves less misleading
Than travel, sport or fight,
And makes much better reading;
So all the authors write
Of love in the morning early,
And love in the dead of night.
And love all the day
Till we're tempted to say
That love is a terrible blight!
When a young man is in love he is
like a clipped poodle-a changed being.
Before, he hated quiet, domestic even
ings. or seeing girls home;" scorned
country walks or midnight music;
laughed at poetry and the demands OF
the toilet. After, he loves the innocent
round game; will see girl home three
times in one night If he gets the chance
and then she will see him home, and
then he will see her home, and so on,
until Aunt Jane shouts from the WIN
dow some irrelevant remark about
staying out all night and keeping So
Der citizens from their lawful sleep.
After, too, he will linger in country
lanes, lean against fences till the barb
ed wire penetrates his gloom and his
clothing, and watch dying sunsets till
he discovers 1t is the reflection from
the gas house. Music and poetry now
throw their glammor over his. he
casts away his mouth organ, and buys
a guitar, which he learns to hold pic
turesqueIy and, sometimes. to tune.
He reads the poets page in the local
paper, and thanks the kind fates that
made rhymes of girl with pearl, flow
ers and bowers, breeze and trees.

Farmers Want Cheap Money!.

The advocates of free coinage in tho
west and south don't take any stock"
in Bryan's occasional assertion that he
contends" that the adoption of this
policy would put up the price of silver
to S1.29. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation If they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti-
ments of these people are clearly ex-
pressed by james Kitchen, an extensive
farmer and stockman of Grayson, KY,
who, when asked the other day why he
was for free silver, made this reply:
81 am for free silver because I am ID
debt. aal If we get free coinage can pay
my debts with one-half of what 1t now
costs under our present money standard.
And another reason, l employ laborers on
my farm. They are the creditors. T am
the debtor. Under tree coinage can pay
them with one-half It costs me now. for It
will raise the price Of products. and can
hire my farm help for GO cents day and
