titled THAT Old Sweetheart OF Mine?"

MARIE SCOTT.
In the evening shadows dreaming DER an
album all alone.
Nursing on remembered faces OF the
friends that l have known,
There turn the leaves OF memory. till In
fanciful design.
l behold the smiling features Of an old
sweetheart of mine.
And the lamp light seems to glimmer with
flicker OF surprise,
AS turn 1t low to rest me Of its bright
ness In my eyes,
For TO dream the old dreams over Is
luxury divine,
When my truant fancy wandcrS with that
old sweetheart OF mine.
a face OF dreamy beauty, form OF airy
grace
Is floating DER my vision like perfume
from 4 vase.
! thrill beneath the glanccs OF azure
eyes divine,
As once more I hear the voice OF that
old sweetheart OF mine.
Though hear beneath my window like
u fiuttering Of wings.
The sweet voices OF my children and the
mother MS she sings:
Yet feel the twlhge Of conscience. for
Il seems to bring Il thought

gloom which Time has wrought:
l can see the quaint sunbonnet and tho
pretty chcckcred dress
That she wore when first I kissed her,
long before she answered yes"
When she told me that as surely as the
stars above us shine
That With heart aud soul she loved me
true-tftat old sweetheart OF mine.
We were then to live together in u cosy
little cot,
Hidden in n nest OF roses. with n tiny
garden spot,
With the flowers ever blooming and the
weather ever tine.
And the birds so 5wcetly singing for that
old sweetheart of mine.
But bark! my dream Is broken by n step
upon the stair.
And Tho door Is softly opened ard my wife
Is standing there.
All! With eaEernGss and rapture all my
visions resign
AS ] meet with fond embraces now that
old sweetheart OF mine.

a fair Indication Of the fact that sem
ators, and particularly the two Repub-
lican senator's who voted against the
peace treaty, did not reprds2Ht the
sentiment of their constituencies is
found in the actions OF the Massachu-
sets and Maine legislatures when the
news was received of the ratification.
Shortly after the vote WIZ taken Mon
day II message was read In the Maine
legislature announcing the result. Sen
ator Hale. Of Maine. was one OF the two
Republicans who had voted against the
treaty. When the message announcing
Its adoption was read In hotli branches
of the legislature the, members broke
into voCifcrous cheering. and rcsolu-
ton was passed instructing the speaker
Of the house to express to President
Mckinley the qualification OF that body
ut the result.

the question at issue. the manlfesta-
lions above noted slgnifled that in cast
ing their votes they did not represent
the sentiments existing in their state.


Agonclllo, the representative VI
Aguinaldo in Washington. whose flight
to Canada was almost Simultaneous
with the news Of the uprising of the
insurgents at Manila, an act which was
very suspicious to say the least, gave
as an excuse for his remarkable conduct
that, owing to the American censorship
over the cable at Manila, he was obliged
10 go to Montreal to do his work. as he
found It impossible to get messages at
Washington.
Z In View Of this explanation Agoncillo
betrays himself as lacking in either
shrewdness. logic or truthfulncss. II
the Americans censor the cable at Ma
Mia. Agoncilo should know, and Of
course did know. that removal from
Washington to any other country would
not give him any better advantage. The
cable being in the hands Of the United
States authorities at Manila, how could
he expect to receive from or send to
Manila a dispatch he did not want our
government to know about from Mon
treal, or even London, or Paris, or Ber-
lin. or Constantlnople, or any other
point on earth, without the knowledge
of our authorities at Manila?
So nlmsy an excuse can have but one
meaning. 1t Is proof conclusive that
the reason Agoncillo gives has not one
element Of truth in It, but that he es-
capped across the Canadian border to
avoid arrest. His only purpose In re-
manning In Washington until almost
the last moment before the news of the
attack at MANILA which he evidently
knew:was to occur. was to use as much
time as possible to work among the OPP
ponents OF the peace treaty.
The Washington Star declares that
Agoncillo knew enough. or was we'll
enough advised to know. that the mo-
ment his people attacked the American
position at Manila, they became enc
mics of the United States. whittier sub
jects OF Spain or not, and that he, as
their representative, became foe and
liable to arrest as spy" 1t has been
long suspected that Agoncllo has been
virtually acting as spy ever since he
came to the United States. The Star
has the following:
In view of the bloody dcnouement of
Saturday night. it is plain to most
minds that he has been working all
these weciis for no other purpose than
to place the American government in
predicament. Senator Morgan was re-
ported in the news columns of yester-
days Star to the effect that he had in
formation that Agoncillo had actually
advised Aguinaldo to precipitate hos
Titles before the vote on the treaty.
This suggestion squares with the pub
LEGATION of ten days or more ago con-
corning an intercepted cablegram 1t
is likewise strengthened by the fact
that the American lines at Manila were
at every point ready for the assault
when it did come. showing that the
government probably had Information
of this advice from Agoncllo to his
chief.
1t may be that this government will
not bother its head about the actions
Of Agoncillo: there is satisfaction in
the manner in which it is dealing with
his chief. who has shown his treachery
and deserves no quarter.

King Oscar II. has retired from the

of the government in the hands OF his

Such a step was highly contrary to
the wishes of His Majesty. but his con-

physicians were compelled to demand
1t. They claim that. although the king
has improved wonderfully since his
serious illness last December. further
participation in public affairs would
undoubtedly prove fatal.

age. since he was born in 1858. He has

The Martinsburg Statesman (mis-

Legislature authorized a commission to
revise the constitution and to report
amendments. The people paid the bills,
but what became Of the report of the
commission? What have the people got
for their money!" The Statesman
should read the newspapers and keep
posted about the legislative proceedings
The report OF the commission was made
early in the session and has been pcrG-
ing for several days. The dispatc;las
from Charleston constantly refer to 1t,

mission has rendered Il good account Of
itself. Only yesterday the report OF the
commission passed the senate and 1t
now goes to the house.

Of Great Bend, missed good opportu-

around making his pastoral calls when
he visited the Williamson house. After
discussing the weather, the crops, and
looking at the POULTRY, It was deemed
prudent to have q brief religious SER
vice. Mrs. Williamson provided the good
