Came from her heart which could have no part
In love with its bill and coo.
She sat and thought, the poor old thing,
Or those day when arm would round her cling
But the thoughts brought back different thrill
That heart mad vanished that heart was still.
And she sat there sigh sigh-signing.
While the emf bers were dy-dy-d dying
She shed but q tear

And the time went Fl fy-fy-hying.

POTENT MONROE DOCTRINE.
Mexican Herald.


Bismarck finds the Monroe doctrine an in-
solent' one Well. he is past master in d.
plomatic bluff and insolence, and ne knows
as we'll as any man that the Monroe doctrine
stands for the perpetual independence of the
New World. The sta tesmen OF the New World
from Washington to Santiago and Buenos
Ayres know that, If the Cabinets of Europe
had their way, they would carve Latin Amer
lea up into spheres OF influence just as they
nave Africa. Bismarck, when in power,
coveted Naboths vineyard in Brazil and had
an eye on other regions AS well. Japan, when
she gets big navy, is likely to pick quarrel
with some Of the west coast repn blics OF South
America just to provoke war and win terri
tory for colonization. But the Americas,
adopting President Daz's enlarged Monroe
doctrine, will stand together against greed and
land-graDbing.
