THE FIRST KISS.

Sweetheart, twas but while ago-it
scarce seems yesterday,
Though now my locks are white as snow,
and all your curls are gray
When. walking in the twilight haze, ere
stars had smiled above
/ whispered soft: II love YOU" and you
kissed me for that love.
The first kiss, dear. and even your hand
your little hand so sweet,
And whittier than the white, white sand
that twinkedsat your feet
Laid tenderiy within my own! Have
queens such lovely hands!
No wonder that the whippoorwills made
sweet the autumn lands!
1t seemed to me that my poor heart
would beat to death and break
While all the world-Sweetheart! Sweet
heart seemed singing for your
sake!
And every rose that barred the way in
glad and dying grace,
Forgot it's faded summer day and, lean
ing, kissed your facet
| envied all the roses then and all the
rosy ways
That blossomed for your sake are still
my life's bright yesterdays.
But thinking of that first sweet kiss,
and that first clasp of hands,
Iife's whipporwills sing sweeter now
through all the autumn lands!
IF. l.. STANTON.

'claims have already been staked and tnat
it requires from four to seven years
to work out a claim with five men. New
claims are constantly being staked. Mr..
Thagard said that experts in the Klon-
dyke estimate it will in few years be
producing as much gold as all the rest
of the world. A tramway over the Chill
koot pass will soon be completed and
then the trl, be made by river and
rail. Already u re are 112 steamers
that ply on the Yukon, some of them
being very fine boats.

$500 year. They sell at
fifty cents a. copy in the towns.
We learned of the war first
from a man who came through with a
copy of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
containing the news of Dewey's victory.
He rented a hall, charged $3.50 admls-
sion to hear the news read and cleared
So. 800 off his single copy" Mr.. Thagard
said the great worry of the editor in the
Klondyke was to keep his compositors
from boiling to the gold diggings.
A peculiar thing about the country is.
he said. that all the streams except the
Yukon freeze solid, the freezing taking
place from the bottom as well as the top.
Snow and ice are melted for water and
baths are a costly luxury. Nothing edible
can be grown ecept onions, lettuce and
such Like and gardening is done on the
dirt roofs of the houses.
Mr.. Thagard goes to London in a
few weeks, English capitalists being in
terested in his ventures. Next summer
he expects to take in mining machinery.
He has with him bag of nuggets to
show his friends the color of Klondyke
gold. Most of the nuggets are inter-
fused with quartz showing that the gold
was melted during the volcanic period of
Alaska. Some of the nuggets, however,
are nearly pure gold.
Mr.. Thagard has watch chain made
of the quartz and gold nuggets which
is very handsome affair beside being a
very unique piece of workmanship.

If is seen that from 1850 to 1860 the
blacks were only little more than one
third of the population, while the whites
lacked only a fraction over per cent
of constituting two-thirds. There mas
been a slightly greater increase OF the
blacks than the whites, until the decade
between the years 1880 and 1890, when
the blacks fell off 3.29 per cent. This
was caused by the great emigration OF
that class to the South during the latter
part of the decade, while there was a
considerable increase of the whites. II
is probable that the whites are now in
creasing faster than the blacks. This
change is going on still more rapidly
from Virginia.
During the early years of the century,
prior TO 1908, slaves were imported
fro, Africa. and although the trade was
prohibited in North Carolina. they still
came in from South Carolina. That
State too stopped the trade for while by
a State law. but probably not effectively.
And in 1901 or 1902 the State of South
Carolina reopened the African trade.
which they could do, prior to and until
1903: and under this State law forty
thousand slaves were imported, Of whom
South Carolina imported about 5000;
New England, mostly Rhode Island. inn
ported about $4,000, and Old England
tbe remainder. about $4,000. A Mr.. De-
Wolf. Of Rhode Island, had ten ships in
the trade. and was afterwards elected
TO the United States Senate But they
all got religion afterwards and denounced
the South for buying the negroes from
them. DANIEL II. GOODLOE.
