In RE MAUD MULLER
~ AND The JUDGE.
~ Mrs. Roger A. Pryor.

Maud Muller. on summers day,
Raked the meadow sweet with hay.
The Judge rode slowly down the lane.
Smoothing his horses chestnut name.
She stopped where the cool spring dubbed
up,
And fll'd for him her small tin cup.
And blush'd as she gave it, looking down
on her feet so bare and tatter'd gown.
At last, like one who for delay
Seeks vain excuse. he rode away.
Maud Muller look'd and sigh'd: "Ah, me!
That the judges bride might be!'
He welded a wife of richest dover,
Who lived for fashion, as he for power
God pity them both. and pity us all.
Who vainly the dreams OF youth recall.
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: 1T might have
been"
From Maud Muller" by John Greenleaf
Whittier.
Imprimis-I think that the rustic maid
Too near the public highway strayed.
Who ever heard OF raking the grass
Near dusty road where travellers pass?
Her gown was tattered. her hat was torn
The poet says, by brier and thorn.
This sounds picturesque, but may / inquire
How she walked with bare feet through
bramble and brier?
IT may be she ran quite regardless of pain.
AS the judge in his majesty rode down the
lane.
But we let that pass! God forbid / should
grudge

NERVOUS WOMEN.
During the "Dark scenes"
ut the Play.

Ozark changes" at the theater--when
stage and auditorium are suddenly
wrapped in black darkness, while a
scene is changed-are greatly dreaded
by many women play-goers, who in
stantly become nervous till the lights
go up again. II never have an instant's
peace" said a lady, speaking of her
dread of the incident, still the light is
turned on again. Sometimes feel that
shall scream aloud il the darkness
continues another second. i get 'suf-
locating feeling and sometimes feel
as though l should faint if didn't see
light somewhere. For heavens sake,
whoever introduced the idea, and why
in the world do they have those hor-
rid, awful, terrifying dark changes?'
The dark change" is not of very re-
cent origin, and is introduced to height
en- the dramatic effect of the play-to
prevent the audiences attention wan
dering from the story as told in one
scene till the thread is taken up in the
next. What the dramatist and man
ager always aim at is to gain and hold
the auditors attention, not to let it
wander, as it does during an entr' acte,
when the curtain goes down, the lights
go up and buzz of conversation
springs up all over the house.
Try the theory on yourself. Begin
to tell a story. Let no interruption &C.
cur, and, see what sort of hit you
make when you have to begin again
with: ''As l was saying" It's apt to
be more like "As l wasn't saying" for
you'll find that the attention of your
audience has to be gained over again,
and the restarted story does not seem
like the same thing.
The dark change" prevents this,
What a dim quiet there is in the audi
forum, with all(eyes-though you cant
see them-riveted on the darkness into
which the stage vanished.
This is the theatrical why" of it,
but for the benefit of nervously inclined
women who ''get smothering feeling
when the lights 60 out and who repress
desire to scream some words of COM
fort may be said.
Don't get scared when with a sudden
click every one of the hundreds of cleo
trio lights goes out. Don't imagine that
the man who turned them off has gone
away and can't instantly relight the
house. With the turn of single but
ton he has plunged the auditorium and
stage in darkness, but with another
turn of the button, on which he keeps
his hand, he can instantly fill the the
alter with blaze of light.
He stands in the proscenium arch,
just off the stage-the first exit"-and
never leaves his post. He keeps his
hand on the button and the attention
of eye and ear upon the house. If you
were to utter that repressed cry or
faint in half second the house would
be relighted, whether the stage was
set or not.
It's the business of "the man at the
electric switchboard" to watch the
house narrowly. You needn't be ner-
vous.
But suppose screamed and the but
ton didn't work?' Miss Nervous says.
Don't scream. But if you did and the
button didn't work, shrouded gas jets,
lit, are in the auditorium, and they are
ready to at once make the place light
and discover you looking exceedingly
foolish.
! Don't be afraid Of "the dark change

SAYINGS FROM THE CHINESE.

The money that in charity you spend
You do not wholly lose-you merely lend;
Some day its echo will yourself befriend.
The cargo of a small boat should be small
Too much Is worse than having none at ALL
So, on the child's mind put but little draft,
If you would save. rather than sink. the
craft.
To rear indoors the tigers cub.
While ii is young. Is nothing new;
But, by and by-ah! there's the rub
When grown, he'll make his meal of you.
The things we speak melt In the air to-day,
But what we write no power can wash
away. C
To one quite hungry every dish is good,
And relish waits on cen the plainest food
The one who's thirsty does not stop to
think,
But finds nectar in the stalest drink.
Bring up good children, and, when they
are grown.
Homes they will find. and houses of their
own.
You do not cast away a stick of wood
For one small flaw and say it is not good /:
Then why not treat your fellow-man the
, same?
One fault deserves not universal blame

The London Statist Comments on Trade
and Agricultural Conditions

LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Statist, writ.
ing on American prosperity, said:
"There will be very large exports of
wheat to meet the demand of Western
Europe. American farmers are dispos-
ing of their crops rapidly and at toler.
ably good prices, and they will be able
to purchase from the east and Europe as
fully as they have been doing this year
The United States has made great prog.
ress Of late years in manufacturing and
trading, but it is still an essentially ag-
ricultural country, and It's prosperity
depends entirely on its harvests. There
fore, fair wheat and good harvests of
other productions mean the continuance
OF the wellbeing of the farmers, who
are the backbone and life blood of the
country.
The Statist then added:
"Under the circumstances, it is reason
ably certain that railroad traffic returns
and foreign orders for locomotives, etc.,
will continue to increase"
The tenor Of the article prophecies
al increase of the present prosperity Of

gems and Militia to Go After
Negroes In a Swamp.


DARIEN, Ca, Aug. 26.-A conference e
was held between Sheriff Blount, mill
tia officials and citizens committee
and it was decided to take decisive
action against the negroes who are
massed and armed in Delaget's swamp,
IL miles from this city.
The sheriff wired Colonel Lawton,
who is in Savannah, to send the militia
at once, and he received a reply to the
effect that the men are ready and that
the Liberty county troops will start
from Hinesyille for Darien.
The Mcintosh dragons are at their
armory here with horses. The citizens
will move from Darien on special
train for the swamp and the militia
about 10 in number, one hour later.
The negroes are armed in defiance of
law and the purpose of the militia is
to surround the swamp and relieve the
blacks of their firearms and arrest
them.
An outbreak by the negroes has been
momentarily expected since the killing
by John Delagell, negro, of Joe Town
send, prominent citizen and deputy
sheriff of this county.
The sheriff and his deputies continue
to make arrests of the rioting negroes
and the Jail has large number in it
This was precautionary measure to
prevent an attack on the Jail by the
negro friends of those imprisoned and
make room for those who have been ar
rested since the removal.
The negro citizens outnumber the
white citizens about here.
A tugboat left for Savannah with the
riot prisoners on board. 1t was thought
best to take them there for safe keep

reason that the Jail here is crowded.

ADMIRAL WATSON ILL.
Heart Trouble Produced by the Shock
From an Accident to His Launch
While on a Cruise.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The Army
and Navy Register, in its issue today,
said that recent letters from Manila say
that July II Admiral Watson started in
his launch for trip up river. A strong
wind was blowing and as the launch
went under a lridge the strong current,
aided by the wind, set against the little
boat and she was taken out of her
course and thrown against a hawser
from sailing vessel. This rope carried
away the awning and, striking the
smokeSt took that also.
Admiral Watson showed no conscious
appearance of having been startled ex-
cessiyely. Later, however, in fact be.
fore his return to the flagship, serious
heart trouble developed and, in conse-
quence, he was regarded as extremely
i'll up to the date of the letters of the
18th. No one but his physician was al
lowed access to him, and all business of
the fleet was forbidden. 1t was hoped,
however, that the enforced quiet might
restore him to his previous health.
