LIES BOOK.

| opened the leaves of a book last night,
My mrmory's book of the past,
And | read each page of that record true
From the very first to the last
There are pages there that | love to read,
And pages twere best to forget.
There are pages full Of widest JOY,
And pages dark with regret
There are many records Of sunny hours,
And some of griefs and fears.
On many a page there are laughter and
smiles,
While some are blotted with tears:
There are dreams fulfilled and promises
kept.
There are life's disappontments. too;
1t tells cf the flowers Of long ago
With occasional branches of rue.
OF the smile that concealed tear
1t tells: of heartaches hid from the world,
OF radiant JOY and bitter grief
Which alone / had to bear
And here is Il page of ambition slain,
The next Of 4 dream | priced,
And there is the page of hopes that are
dead
And the next Of the hopes realized.
Just here is page of my dreams and my
plans
That | hid meath the dew and the sod
And this tells the tale Of temptation and
wrong
Known only to me and to God.
There are pages here that seem to eN>Gt
In love. hfe's best gift Of all:
This tells Of the cup Of pleasure |
To find III the bottom lfe's gall.
And here is the VOW / ever have kept.
The VOW that | broke is there.
And this is the page of the songs once
loved
And the next is an answer to prayer
This tells of the spring and of roses red,
That tells Of lovers kiss.
Alas! for 4 page all dark with despair.
And rapture for this one Of bliss.
O sorrow and JOY are strangely joined
In this book that | read last night.
For some of the pages are shadOwed
with gloom.
While some are illumined with light.
Full many a page is dear to me,
That it seems almost divine
And others are here that make me weep
In this wonderful book of mine
O book of my heart known only to nle>
hereyer my lot may be east.
There will still be seasons of pleasure
and pain
When turn to my book of the past.
The book of the past is all | can claim,
The future is mine to win
Yet often | sigh when this book | review
And think of what might have been.

An enthusiastic Georgia poetess writes
as follows:
"My Johns comm home from the army,
An he'll never do fghtin' no more;
He lost one arm
That's all o the harm
But I'm goin' to marry him-shore.
But the above hardly equals the effect

American National Hymn, composed by
Henry De Lorme, one Of this country's
most celebrated tenors, that has a true
spirit of the times, and is full of patriot
ism and character. It is best suited for
solo and chorus, but can be sung by
either at will It's compass is medium,
but majestic, rich in harmony, simple,
yet effective. This musical gem for the
nation, should find it's way at once into
the churches, schools and homes Of our

HAWAII TO Be ANNEXED.
The House By a Vote Of 209 to 81
Passes the Hawaiian An
nexation Bill.

On wednesday afternoon Oy vote Ol
900 to 81, the house Of representatives
passed the Newland's bill providing fol
the annexation Of Hawaii. The debate
which had continued without interrup-
ton since Saturday was one of the most
notable Of this congress, the proposed
annexation being considered of great
commercial strategic Importance by its
advocates and being looked upon by
opponents as involving q radical depar-
ture from long established policy of
this country and likely to be followed
by an inauguration of pronounced
policy of colonization and the abandon
ment of the Monroe doctrine and lead
to international rupture.
More than half hundred members
participated in the debate. From a
party standpoint the result was awaited
with the keenest interest. The Repub-
licans presented practically unani-
nous support to the resolution, and but
three Republican members voted in
opposition.
In the Democratic ranks the division
upon the question was more marked,
10 Democratic members voting for an
nexation.
The vote in support of the resolution
was made Of 179 Republicans, 18 Demo
Gratis, eight Populists and four Fusion
lists, and the vote against annexation
was comprised Of 75 Democrats, three
Republicans, seven Populists and four
Fusionists.
Few members were upon the floor
until late in the afternoon and the gal
leries were packed AS the hour for
voting drew near members began tax
ing their seats. When the first roll call
was taken, the announcement Of the vote
upon the passage Of the resolution was
cheered upon the floor and applauded
generally by spectators. The resolution
adopted in the preamble relates the
offer Of the Hawaiian republic to cede
all Of it's sovereignty and absolute title
to government crown lands, then by
resolution accept the same and declare
the islands annexed. The resolution
provided for commission of five, at
least two Of who shall be residents Of
Hawaii to recommend to congress such
legislation as it may deem advisable.
The public debt Of Hawaii, not to ex-
ceed s4,0O0,0O is assumed. Chinese
immigration prohibited, all treaties
with other foreign powers are declared
null, and it is provided that congress
shall provide for the government Of the
islands.

in the great state Of California, place
where there is summer the year round
and where fresh ripe fruit can be had
at all times, but as far as am con-
cerned, regardless Of all these advan-
tages, I had much rather live in the
state Of South Dakota, where we have
spring, summer and winter. find
here a person has to be very careful OF
he will have a bad cold the year round,
as the weather is more changeable here.
For an example, the day we got off the
ferry boat at San Francisco a person
could wear an overcoat with comfort,
and I enquired if it was the kind of
weather they had all the time and they
informed me that was fine day, one
of the incest days they had, for some
time will state the time we arrived
here 80 that You can compare the
weather We arrived Wednesday, June
1 2, at about 8 o'clock. The wind was
blowing from the ocean and it felt to
me as if it came off an ice berg. slept
on the ground with one blanket and
very nearly froze, or thought I did,
and the result was I caught bad cold
which have with me at the present
time. They tell me they have to be
careful and not catch cold as a cold is
very hard to get rid Of Well to go
back to the weather, Thursday was a
fair day, such as we have in Dakota in
the latter part Of October, clear but
with cool breeze. Saturday was very
hot, such as we have there in July.
Sunday was not quite so warm, and at
about o'clock the wind began to blow
from the ocean and a thick fog en-
veloped us almost q rain. It set the
men hunting for blankets and over
coats. II was very sudden change,
too much so for me- One Of the old
residents here stated that we must get
used to the changes and that the fog
might last three days, but it cleared up
again Monday morning. But clouds
Of fog would sail over and around Us at
times and again the sun would come
