Eyes that dartle, eyes that dare

Startle and droop and tremble,
And all but shut out my bliss,

Draw me in with kiss,
Sweet eyesi
Draw me i'm with a kiss.
Eyes that weave for mo mystic spells,
Eyes that are deep and fearful,
Eyes that could drown rae in their wells.
If they were not too careful
That carry rlc down, down, down,
In love's divine baptism,

Me at last with loves bright prism,

Eyes that soften and CLINT and glow
Like sun shot dewGrops golden;
Eyes that could pierce lac thro' and thro'
We're they not love beholden-
Pierce me and turn mo and chill me,
And send me adrift-alone-
Eyes that could leave me-and kill me,
III they were not mine own.
True eyes

When it was found that he was there.
one of the minister's friends suggested
that slight modification of some of the

Cecil Rhodes, when called, read a
long statement, which, he said, COW

grievances of the foreigners against

course of the statement he said that

tenths of the wealth and paying nine

paired OF redress by constitutional
means, and had resolved to seek by

KYLE REELECTED
South Dakota senator Again Vic

South Dakota senator Again Vic
torious.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 1S.-Six years
| ago today J. II. Kyle, comparative
ly unknown Congregational preacher,
who had been sent TO the Legislature
by a happy Fourth of July speech, was
elected to the United States Senate by
combination of Populist and Demo
cratic votes. Today he was reelected
by the votes of Republicans and a few
POpulists and Democrats.
The fight has been a long one and
near the end it looked as if Picker
would be reelected. There was a
stormy scene in both the Senate and
the House while the vote was being
cast, but Kyle was eventually victor
ious.
In an interview tonight Senator
Kyle denied the report that he had
made any deal with the Republicans.
He declares that he is a Populist still,
has not changed his principals and
that the Republicans came to him
solidly because they thought Senator
Pettigrew was against him and they
wished to humiliate Pettigrew.
In consideration of Kyle voting with
the Republicans on the organization of
the Senate it is understood that Kyle
will receive the present committe APP
pointments of Senator Pettigrew,
which include the important chair
manship of the Indian Affairs Com
mittee. and that Pettigrew will be eff
fectually turned down. This is said
TO be the revenge that Senator Kit
tredge has planned for his former chief
and present foe.

King George wants Crete.

ATHENS, Greece. Feb. 20.-The
Asthy says that King George, in an
interview with a diplomat today, ex-
planned the attitude of himself and
the Government on the Cretan ques-
ton. His Majesty declared he had
decided to annex Crete to the Greek
dominions. and had ordered the army
of OCCUPATION not to abandon the ISL
an. The King requested the diplomat
TO communicate this decision TO his
colleagues in Athens.
The Greek ironclad warship Spa Zia,
accompanied by a torpedo fiotilla, is
about TO start for Turkish waters.
The SpeZia has been waiting orders
for several days. The inconvenience
of the powers in Greece's action in
Crete does not appear to have had the
deterrent effect that was anticipated,
and Greece is going ahead as though
she had the full consent of the powers
to her annexation of the island.
