THE OLD MAN INAPALACE CAR.
BY JOHN s. YATES.

BY JOHN s. YATES.
Well, Betsy, this beats everything our eyes have
ever seen!
We're ridin' in palace fit for any king or queen,
We didn't go fast as this, such cushions
rest
When we left Maryland years ago to seek a home
out West
We rode through this same country, but not as We
ride;
You sat within stage coach, while I trudged on
by your side.
Instead of riding rail, carried one you know,
To pry the old coach from the mire through which
we had to 60
Let's see; that fifty years ago-iust after we were
wed;
Your eyes were then like diamonds bright, your
cheeks like roses red.
Now, Betsy people call old, and push us off one
side,
Just as they have the old slow coach in which we
used to ride.
I wonder if young married folks today would con-
descend
To take weddin' tour like ours with log house
at the end?
Much of the sentimental love that sets young
cneeKS aglOW
Would die to meet the hardships of fifty years ago
Our love grew stronger as we toiled; though food
and clothes was scarce,
None ever saw US in the courts huntin divorce
Love leveled down the mountains and made low
places high;
Love sang q song to cheer us when the clouds and
winds were nigh
I'm glad to see the world move on, to hear the en-
gines roar,
And all about the cables stretchin' from shore
to shore.
Our mission is accomplished: with toll we both are
through;
The Lord just lets us live awhile to see how young
folks do.
whcw Betsy how we're ayin See the farms and
towns go by
1t makes my gray hair stand on end; it dims my
failin' eye.
Soon wen be through our journey and in the house
so good
Which stands within dozen rods of where the log
one stood.
How slow-lke old time coaches-our youth-yea
went by
The years when we were livin meath a bright
Maryland sky;
swifter than palace cars now hy our latter years
have flown,
Till now we journey hand in hand down to the
grave alone.
hear the whistle BLOWN on life's fast ying train;
Only few more stations in the valley now remain,
Soon Wen reach the home eternal. with its glories
all untold.
And stop at the best station in the city built of gold

When Foxes Trick Dogs.
From the New York Sun.


A well bred foxhound will run from six
to ten hours at a pace of between seven
and ten miles an hour, when at consider
able distance behind fox At distance
of hundred yards or so, although he may
not see the fox, he knows Of its proximity
by the warmth of its trail, and he will
run, in his eagerness to overtake the
quarry. at the rate of fifteen or twenty
miles an hour. Such pace is killing, and
can be maintained only short time.
The willy fox knows this we'll, and when
he starts on a race in which his mate is to
aid him, he keeps but short distance
ahead of the dogs, but sets the killing
pace. He keeps this up for perhaps eight
miles, gradually circling back to the start
ing point Here the female, all fresh, is
ready to carry the trail at the same pace,
while her mate diverges from it at right
angle to rest and freshen himself to 60 on
with the race when she has led back to the
post The hounds keep right on after the
female, ignorant of the trick the sagacious
beasts are playing She in turn is relieved
by the male fox, who starts in as good as
new, and this is kept up without cessation,
so that in two or three hours, if not less,
the dogs are exhausted, and must give up
the run. When thus worn out, with the
trail still warm under, their noses, the
hounds abandon the chase with distressful
yelpings, as if feeling that they must be
victims of unfair dealing of some kind.
This unmistakable signal of defeat is what
the foxes have been working and waiting
for, and the one that is in hearing immedi-
ately answers it with sharp, aggravating,
mocking cries. This is the finishing blow,
and the dogs sneak home in humiliation and
silence Some of them will get over the
disgrace by next day, some not for weeks,
while others can never be induced to follow
fox 8 trail again, and these always the
very best dogs in the pack.

Senator Putzel, a Republican hero of
many reforms, has introduced bill in the
State Senate legalizing the intermarriage
of white and colored persons. The Balti-
more Senator might, it is fair to believe,

From the Hartford democrat.

During the campaign last fall the Demo
crat called attention to many excesses the
Republicans, if permitted to control the
Legislature, might commit in order to hold
the negro vote, but had too much respect
for many honorable men in their party to
suggest that they would so legislate as to
encourage the marriage of negroes with
the white people of the State We regret
to state we under.estimated the strength
of the affections of the Republican party
leaders for that race Heretofore the Re
publican leaders have been content to make
the negro such promises as would secure
his ballot and after election give him such,
minor appointments as white men did not
care to have. Now the Republicans have
full sway at Annapolis, they propose to
take the dusky angels to their bosoRs and
make them their social equals.

FIUIH
Senator Putzel says that he never in
tended to introduce bill for the repeal of
the law prohibiting the intermarriage Of
whites and negroes, but that such bill
was placed in his hands and sent by him
to the Engrossing Committee. A member
of the Senate of Maryland should be above
touching or handling measure having
such purposes in view as are embodied in
the proposed measure, and the constituency
which will endorse or advocate such legis-
lation cannot have high idea of morality.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1898-03-05
From the Hagerstown Mail.

When Senator Putzel gets his bill
passed to allow white and colored people
to inter marry, the cabmen will do away
with match teams and drive one white
horse and one black, and there will be
rivalry between the white and the black
ministers for the jobs, and pigs will fly and
turkeys commit suicide on Thanksgiving
day.
1t is easy to see that,
There is far reaching impression that
neither race wants this mixing business
just as yet, and both are doing as well as
can be expected without it.

takes nourishment in small quantities,
avoiding, a full meal, which would inn
pede swift escape. In lying down no at

The Spaniel at Hi. Best.

To see the spaniel at his best he
should bs tskea to the haunts Of the

lakes and streams Of the east,e and in
the prairie sloughs of the west, he is in
deed a great little dog. His stumpy
legs may be poor performers on dry
ground, but they are vsry efficient when
IL comes: to swimming. The dog. too, is
a hardy fellow,ready t0"face any weather
and cold water whenever asked. As q
retriever from watershe lie most desira-

form make him the best of dogs for the
duoking skiff. OF course the Irish water
spaniel is excluded from all references
TO short legs and clumsiness. A good
specimen Of this dog appears to be quite
long legged. =.
The chief value Of the Irish spaniel
to the sportsman is as q retriever. He
is a worthy rival Of the famous dog of
the Chesapeake, and no weather is too
severe, while few tasks are too difficult,
for him. He lie game to the core, a very
powerful, magnificent swimmer, and to
all intents a natural retriever. His oily
coat can bid defiance to cold water,
while a vigorous shake appears to at
once dry It. He is as hardy as a badger.
He is a most Intelligent and willing
worker, and will show to the greatest
advantage under conditions which
would battle almost any other retriever

A source Of trial IL what appears to
us the outlandish method Of having

other and ribbons In Q third. At none
Of these can one buy needles cad thread.
II a woman wishes to hang a pair Of
curtains, she purchases the materials at
one shop, the rod and rings at a differ
emit place, the iron fixtures at a third
and has to 60 to q fourth TO ind an up
holsteser to put them up. She must
visit q tobacco shop for salt and cannot
find, al with n, vegetables, fruit or

be seen that must travelagood deal

Add to all this the confusion incident
to the fact that the standards Of measure
and weight are different from ours, q
meter exceeding a yard and a pound
containing but 10 ounces, and faint
idea may be formed Of the mental com.
plications of the traveller.
There is also a certain amount Of
beating down to be done in nearly every
shop, and even after half an hours bar

doubts lest she might not have bought
the thing cheaper. Shopping IL really

When $1,000 Looked Big.

Divide anything up into pairs and
you magnify it. A certain wise man
took this way to give his wife an idea
Of how much $1,000 is. She had no
idea Of money. Her purchases were
enormous. It happened one day that
her eye fell upon q magnificent ring,
and she coveted it. It cost 81, 900. But
what was 81, 900 to her in comparison
with the ring? OF course her husband
consented to the purchase. What else
could a dutiful, affectionate husband
do? But he tried this method of educat-
ing his wife concerning the great price
Of the ring. He instructed his banker
to send her the 81, 900 in small pieces
pennies, dimes, quarters. In came the
money, bagful after bagful. She never
had such an idea of ST. 900 before.
When the money was piled before her,
it alarmed her. The price of the ring
went up q hundredfold, and was con-
sidered at once an extravaganza which
