GYPSY JANE.

She had corn flowers in her ear
AS she came up the lane;
"What may be your name, my dear?
"Oh, Sir, Gypsy Jane"
"You are berry-brown, my DEAR"
THAT, sir, well may be;
For 1 live more than half the year
Under tent or tree"
Shine sun; blow wind!
Fall gently, rain!
The years declined, be soft and kind,
Kind to Gypsy Jane.

A SONG.

Dear Love, the days when you are far away
Are very gray, autumnal days and drear;
Yet can light the twilight of each day
With the remembrance that you once
were here.
And though your coming lights the world
anew,
My world unclouded never can remain
My heart. remembering how it ached for
you,
Foresees the hour when 1t must ache
= again.

made
DR.. w. H. Ballard, 404 Stimson Block:
Dear Sir-Having been a sufferer for
more than eight years from pulmonary
rouble, which had reduced me in health
and strength to such an extent that l
had almost given up all hope of ever
gaining relief, was induced to try your
Improved Koch treatment and I am
glad to be able to testify to its merits as
a complete cure for consumption Ifeel
better today than for years, and I am
steadily gaining strength In fact, am
experiencing the great boon of health
after years Of suffering. I have tried all
of the noted health resorts of the west,
but the effects, while beneficial, were
not permanent. l consider that your
treatment has prolonged my life, and
am indeed grateful to you Trusting
that others may find that relief which
l have experienced through your treat
ment, am very gratefully yours,

MY SWEETHEARTS.

My first was young and very fair,
With bright blue eyes and yellow hair;
A surplice white in church he wore;
loved him for a month or more.
My second. he was gaunt and thin;
All round the hemisphere he'd been;
He'd shot at lions, killed bear;
loved him for about year.
My third had flowing coal-black locks
q wore then green and yellow frocks).
He played and sang my heart away;
1 loved him for one year and day.
My fourth was handsome, but so poor.
That only made me love him more;
l wept and sighed, but had to part.
1t almost, almost broke my heart.
My fifth was-well, / cannot say
What he was like; but one fine day
I swore to love him all my life:
And now he calls me Little Wife,"
My sixth? My sixth is very small;
He hardly seems a man at all;
But. Oh, could not bear to part
With either Fifth or Sixth Sweetheart!

TIE JAPS WILL ARBITRATE Formal Acceptance Made Known
 to President Dole. THE ONE STUMBLING BLOCK Which Is Protested by the laps Is the Tax on Sake Insisted by the Hawaiian
 Legislature.

Washington, July 30-The Japanese government has accepted the offer made by Hawaii to arbitrate the dispute be tween the two countries. The state de- partment has been informed of the offer and It's acceptance The subiects tor arbitration win include not only he diff ficulty over the landing of iha. JapaneHe immigrants. but will also incdlde .,ther disagreements between the two conn- tries, the most important of whic1 Is the imposition of the Sake tax on Japanese liquor greatly imported and consumed by the Japan. SC in Hawaii.
 The acceptance o1 inc offer O. arbira- tion. brief synopsis of which has been cabled to the Japanese minister here and given the state department, states that the Japanese government accepts arb.- tration in principle and is prepared to enter upon q settlement of pending di1 faculties.
 The formal letter of acceptance has been sent to Hawaii and the conditions of arbitration will be contained thes e n. These conditions are not known h. re. Pending the arrival of details Ill other questions pending arbitration will te discussed.
 The Sake tax, of which the Japanese comp.ain, is an increase of the duty on this liquor from 15 cents to $1 per gallon. HIS 'eaX was p1sszi Dy the HaWallan legislature and vetoed by President Dole that it is unconstitutoaal and in violation of the treaty with Japan. who had rights under the most favored nation clause, Tho tax was passed over the veto almost unanimously, only ore vote being cast to sustain the president. The pressure to tax sake was from the saloon keepers and manufacturers of liquor, as the Japanese use this liquor almost wholly-te. the exclusioa of other beverages.
 It is not expected that the state de-, pertinent will make more than a formal acknowledgement of the notice of arbitra- tfon with Hawaii, tts understanding be- ing that all future negotiations will be conducted by Minister Buck and the Japanese foreign office at Tokio

DEBS AND HIS NEW SCHEME
Says It Is Industrial. Social and Political and Will Soon Have a National Plat
 form to Stand On

Chicago, July 30.-The New Timfs on Monday will contain an .dcle by Eugene ". Delbs, in which he says:
 'sfhe social democracy is industrial so- cial and political. It is at once national and international. Politically speaking it is a party within and for itself Within twelve months it's national represen n- tives will havr formulated a national political platform. similarly the various stale representa- tives will have adopted state platforms and .ihe municipal repre- seftativcs local platforms.
 By far the greater part of the criti- cisms have been directed against the coloniza tion scheme. and there are still those who insis that this is all there is to the movement, or at least that this is it's chief purpose.
 "To all of these le; it be said that the propos d colonization scheme is simply one of the features of the government and has been assigned a special department known as the colonization department there has nevir been any intention to or ganize isolated colonies, and they who have worked themselves in showing the fate of othst colonies and predic ing calamity are wasting time"

Is the South Carolina Senatorial Contest
 Being Carried On.
 Easley, S. C., July 30.-The senatorial meeting today at Greenville was attend ed by large audience. Senator Me- Laurin, was not as well received as al previous meetings. The trouble was oc= casioned by few friends of Irby and Evans. MT. McLaurin. in talking abou [ Calhoun's views, said that T/ans was trying to appeal to the ignorance of the audience. meaning the lack of familiarity with the writings of Calhoun. This, some one construed to mean reflection upon the audience. and McLaurin was criti- cised for the remark which he satisfac- torily explained.
 Senator Tiflman sent a telegram to ex-Senator Irby in reply to an inquiry as to whether he was responsible for an Interview in the Charlotte News in which it was said by Tillman that Irby was probably dead and buried.
 The senator (Tillman) telegraphed that the interview was fake; that he had seen no newspaper man while in Char lotte and further that he was hands off, in the senatorial race.
 MT. Irby said he would have resented the insult had not Tillman disclaimed the interview.
 Senator MeLaurin said the day for fac- tional differences was at an end and as the reformers had got all their places in the democratic platform there was no need of factional lines now except to get certain persons in office.

WITH BATED BREATH
Anxious Citizens Await the Decision of the Jury in the Flanagan
 Murder Case.

Atlanta. Ga, July 90.-Concluding argu- ment was made today in the Flanagan murder case and at midnight the jury is out having been in delibera ton for nine hours.
 Tn the little town of Decatur, where the trial is being conducted, a large crowd of excited citizens have gathered who are discussing the events of the trial and the nature of the verdict that is momantarily expected from the jury While the excitement is intense no threats of lynching the prisoner have been openly made, but in the event there is a mistrial, which would ssean delay, the officers fear there will be mob vio- lence. The indications now are that the jury cannot agree and mistrial is anticipated.
 Flanagan is locked in the Decatur jail. guarded by number of determined dep utes who are heavily armed.
