Il believe President Mckinley will

the ablest lawyers in this country has
given me an opinion governing the

BITS OF VERSE.
Ont on the Sea.

Out on the sea, the dark, sad sea,
Where the breakers are wildly tossing,
The clouds hang low with misty tears,
For another soul is crossing.
The boat has slipped from the golden sands.
Out on the sea so dreary,
And stern-faced Charon bears away
To where there is rest for the weary.
Out on the sea, the dark, sad sea,
The waters the oar is cleaving;
The waves send back to the pebbly shore
A kiss from the one who is leaving.
1t glows and brightens until the air
Is filled with its mournful sweetness,
And it takes its place in the tear-dimmed
world
With more than magic meetness.
Out on the sea, the dark, sad sea,
Where the shadows are grayly sitting,
Meath the cold, cold hand of Icy death
My life and ny hopes are lifting.
And all is but darkness and dread despair
In face of the viewless ages,
For it's written in letters that scar the soul
That for living death is the wages.
D restless seal o dark sad sea!
Whose waters are onward moving,
Bring back message thou voiceless wave.
A hope and promise proving.
But the answer that comes is the surf's
sullen roar,
And foam on the waters cleaning;
But in the dim future we know there is
dawn,
When we've passed through the darkness
of dreaming.
