LIES MISTAKES.

We plant sweet flowers above the spot
Where rest our unipFgotten dead.
And while tbs roses bud and bloom
We beautify their lonely bed
We rear the snowy marble shaft
That every passsr-by may learn
How sacred memory keeps her trust
In .votiye git and stOried urn.
But on. the hearts that ache and break
Through all the long bright summer days
For some sweet word of tenderness.
Some generous and outspOksn praise;
And oh the bitter tears that fail
Ger LIES mistakes and cruel fate,
That all things which the heart most Graves
OF love and glory come too late.
Thon take rose that blooms to-day
And lay it in some loving hand,
And wait not till the ear grows dull
To tell the sweet thoughts that you planned
One kiss on warm and loving lips
Is worth thousand funeral flowers,
And one glad day Of tender love
Outweighs an age Of mourning hours.

TIE statistician of the United States
estimates that the school population of
this country is 2O,O99, 1888. Of this num-
Der there were enrolled in 1894 13, 96O,228

TIE statistics Of crime for 1896 show
that 1862 murders were committed
during the year, and that there we're
10 legal executions and 131 lynchings
during that period. The large number
of lynchings show a disregard of law,
but the small number of legal execu-
tons, as compared with the CHASTITY re-
cord Of murders, also gives food for
sober and serious reflection.
y "a
WEB WILDER reCites, in his Annals Of
Kansas" that in 1854, when the first tide
of New England settlers began to drift
hitherward, the Missourians tied COW
to each crossing of the Missouri river.
When an immigrant arrived at the
crossing he was certain to make some
remark about the animal, and if he
said "cow' he was suffered to cross,
but if he said "keow" be was hustled
back east aud out of the country as a
blOody-minded sbOlitionist.
SENATOR THUBsTON of Nebraska says
of Cuba: "This is a burning question
that demands action" and he adds: 81
| don't know so much about the situation
in the east. know that the people out
west are demanding that something be
done" It may be so; but so far as can
be judged from a careful reading of
many western exchanges the question
that burns the hottest in that section
eff the country is the low price of corn,
which has resulted in its employment
as fuel.-Philadelphia Record.

an ordinance restraining the band from

| 800 feet in the air the band struck the
high key in the fatal tune. The man
dropped to the earth dead. On Christ

ures was the entry Of Santa Claus
