Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Circle.
Oliver Goldsmith,

There is difference of opinion re-.
garding the writer's of the past and
present centuries. Able writer's have
laid themselves open to criticism; their
popularity has induced publishers to
demand of them literary matter which
brings a revenue, knowing that the
popularity of the writer would insure
its ready sale. AS result some very
popular authors have written very
commonplace matter.
Among the writer's who refuse to
respond to this demand is VIM. Dean
HOwells, and he stands today without

| Wonder?

wonder just how many men
In fancy turn to youth again,
And see the same gold haze as when
They played at being ''Injun" long ago?
wonder ii, through all the pain
Of greed and strife for gold and gain,
They still recall that glorious reign
AS Mohawk chief in war paint long ago?
wonder too, what man believes
He'd lose the scars that living leaves,
And find the same bright gold in leaves
That he found when playing "Injun, lone
ago?
l wonder If the tree still stands,
Beneath whose bOughs our boyish hands
Built council lodge of warlike bands,
In days when we played "Injun" long ago:
The little creek our tribes we're wont
10 deem Rhine or Hellespont,
We fortified and named our front,
When we played at being "Injun" long ago
wonder if the Autumn breeze
From maple, oak and Eastwood trees
Still strip the yellow golden leaves
Just as when we played at s'Iniun" long
ago?
noisy rill came rushing through
darksome glen where harebells grew.
There Mohawk met the bloody Sioux,
In the days when 1 played .InJun" lone
ago.
If time had touched with gentle hand
The wood. the rill and meadow land,
And altered naught, would we understand
That joy of playing 'Injun" long ago?
say l wonder if we'd find
The same sweet joy and peace of mind.
Or could we leave our load behind
And play at being ''Injun' once again?

OUR new DEPENDENCIES
President Mckinley Outlines a List of
Regulations.
GETTING READY FOR HIS MESSAGE
Make Up the General Policies of
Government for the New
Possessions.
A special from Washington saws:

special from washington says:
There is good authority for the
statement that the president has re-
turned to Washington with these gen
eral ideas nppermost in his mind as
to the future course in relation to the
new dependencies:
"Civil government by three com.
missioners to supplant military rule
Immediately after the rebellion is
crushed.
Continued military control until it
is determined by means of general
election whether the inhabitants want
independence of annexation.
If Independence, the new govern
ment elected will be recognized by
the United States and will be given
encouragement and every opportunity
to establish its stability.
IF annexation, the president will
be governed by the sentiment of
American citizens as it may then exist.
Civil government of the territorial
form, similar to that which prevails in
Arizona.
Territorial form of government, as
recommended by the Hawaiian COM
mission and as provided for in a meas
ure now pending in congress.
Some weeks will elapse before the
president settles down to the actual
preparation of his message, but he has
returned from his vacation with some
we'll defined views as to the difficult
problem which confronted him and
will Immediately go into discussions
Of details with the members of his
cabinet"

Six Mormon elders were conduct
ing meeting in O school house at
Pine Bluff, Stewart county, Tenn.
when the building was stormed by a
mob of over one hundred men. Eggs
and rocks were thrown through the
windows and the building almost en-
tirely demolished. Those present fed
to save their lives, as bullets oom-
menced to strike the building thick
and fast.
Miss May Harden, popular young
woman of the place, walked between
the elders, Olson and Petty, with a
view to checking the work of the mob.
While the trio passed down the road
shots were fred from ambush, and the
woman was hit by ball and almost
instantly killed. Burton Vinson, Q
prominent young farmer, wrote con
fession, stating he had killed the girl,
but that it was an accident. Shortly
after the confession bloodhounds
trailed him to his home. Vinson
turned, picked up knife and cut his
throat, almost at the same instant
