GONE

She's gone-my angel, my darling!
Away to the mountains has flown,
And / am sitting and dreaming,
in tenderest sadness alone.
There's nothing to shatter the silence
That broods like fathomless pail
Orr space that was once full of music,
Save the sparrows' monotonous call.
OF days that were trimming with cheer,
When she, my radiant angel
From the kingdom of Heaven, was near.
The marks of her pink baby fingers
Are still on the windows bright pane,
Where fond in my arms 1 upheld her
To look at the glittering rain.
Her rattle still lies on my table,
With all of it's poor, battered bells,
And oh, what story of transport
The dear little plaything now tells.
On chair is her shoe like a flower
A lover in his passion has pressed,
It's beautiful petals all faded,
That his sweetheart once wore on her
breast.
IT'S true she has only departed
To cross a brief channel of time,
Put, oh, what sitting measure
1t makes in life's musical rhyme!
What a pause and a silence oppressive
That makes the yearning heart ache
And feel that time is now coming
When the chain that is golden must
break

she replied: "Why do, you suppose ]
turned down the light am hour and a
half ago." And yet he wondered, poor
fool, how other young men who had
started far in the rear were able to
pass him I'D the race of life.-Cleveland

 Secret service officers arrested J. H. McQuirk and James Covin at Texark- ana few days ago on the charge of counterfeiting, and found in their pos session s6,310 in counterfeit sl0 silver certificates. The details of the capture are interesting. Operator Dickey, of the Little Rock district, received notice that box had been shipped from Fair Oaks to Texaraana about which there was suspicion. The officer immediately went to Texarkana and examined the contents of the box, which he found contained the spurious certificates. He waited at the express office two days before any one came to claim the pack age, when McQuirk, giving the name of Covin, called for it. After he had Quirk was arrested. He acknowledged his name was not Covin, but informed the detective where Covin could be found, and in few minutes the latter was also under arrest. The money was all in $10 bills, and is a poor counter felt. It is believed the men captured are part of a gang that has been oper ating in the rural districts of southern states for the past two or three years. They were examined before Commis- sioner Somervell, who held them to the Federal grand jury in the sum of s2, 900 each, and they were taken to Fort Smith and placed in jail in default of bond

PATRIOTIC MEXICO.
Excursions Arranged From Arkansas and Texas on the Occasion of the Repub-
 lies National Holiday.

Of all that extensive empire which once acknowledged the authority of Spain in the new world, no portion for interest and importance can be com climate and inexhaustible stores of min eral wealth are incompatible. In seen. cry Mexico is grand and picturesque beyond example, and traces of its ancient inhabitants still remain, show irg a degree of intelligence far surpass- ing that of other North American races. The conquest and final independence of this great domain furnishes a thrilling story of adventure and romance, equal ing in interest any legend devised by Norman or Italian bard of chivalry.
 On the night of September 18th begins the national holidays of Mexico. Presi- dent Diaz was born on September 18th, and the nations independence was de. clared on the 10th. The two days are given up to celebrations. which, for extravaganza and pomp, outrival any festivities ever witnessed in the United States. In Mexico City alone there are usually a quarter of million of people in attendance, and from every city, town, hill and dale over the great re- public, one mighty shout issues from a million freemen's throats, Viva Mexico." "Viva el Presidente"
 It is not importunate, therefore, on an occasion of this kind, that citizens of Arkansas and TeXas-now more happy than ever that freedom reigns in our sister ublic-should be offered an opportunity to pay it a friendly visit. Mir. D. J. Price, the ever thoughtful and clever passenger agent of the In- ternational X Great Northern railroad, is given credit for planning an excur- sion to Mexico on this occasion, and the Iron Mountain Route, operating in con- nection with the above line, will place tickets on sale from all principal sta tions in Arkansas, good going on Sep tember 9th, 10th and 11th. Tickets to Mexico City, limited to return 30 days from date, will be sold from points in Arkansas at the following rates: Little Rock, S37.25; Pine Bluff, s37 40; Fort Smith, ,s39; ;Russellville, ,S39: Conway, s3s : 15; kenset, S3S 70: Philadelphia, s35. 30. Tickets to Monterey or Saltillo will be sold from any of the above points at approximately less rates; the return, however, being limited to use within ten days from date of sale. See local ticket agents for further particulars.
