great hat and made sweeping bow up
at the window where Aneta and the
little colored maid were.
A few days after that Aneta visited
some friends. There were strangers
visiting them, Americans, and one of
them was tall man dressed in Rough
brown clothes.
When he saw Aneta he rose and made
her sweeping bow. He wore a knot of
cape jessamine in his coat.
The troopers name was jenkins. Jim,
the men in his regiment called him.
"Meester Chenkeen." Aneta said, you
are fond of the so sweet jessamine of my
country"
That's what" said Jim jenkins.
"Prettiest flowers l ever saw, and they
look just like beautiful woman to me. +"
Aneta blushed and famed herself.
One day Trooper Jenkins went to the
Ovideo house to call.
Aneta's father thought the trooper
too presumptuous upon slight acquaint-
ance.
The two men quarreled, and the hot
tempered Cuban would have killed the
trooper if Aneta had not clutched mis-
hand before the knife had time to de-
scend.
After that Areta saw the trooper
often.
He never said anything about the jes-

LOVE AND DEATH
A Romance of Cuba

Tim JENKINS is dead. Aneta Ovideo
u is dying. jim Jenkins died in In
dian territory. Aneta Ovideo is dying
in Cuba.
Every day she creeps down to the
waters edge and drops knot of cape
jessamine into the ocean.
If the waves bring the knot OF cape
jessamine back TO the shore Aneta
Ovideo cries-that means that she will
live another month. If the waves carry
the knot of jessamine out to the open
sea Aneta Ovideo smiles pale little
smile of happiness and peace for that
means that she will die before the
month"; is out.
Her sweetheart is dead; dead and
buried out in the snow in the west and
she is all alone down in CIpa; alone
with the moonlight and the waves, and
she wants to die.
She Is Cuban. Her father was rich
merchant of San Juan.
When the Americans entered San
Juan Aneta decorated the squat, square
house with wreaths and with great knots
of cape jessamine, And she and the lit
tie colored maid stood at the easement
and clutched each other and cried and
laughed and tried to sing the strange
marching song which brought the
ericanos into the city.
The rough riders came up the mar
row streets of San Juan. They were
dusty, and their clothes were torn.
The troops caught sight of the knot of
jessamine, and one of them swung his

FATHER LOVE.

o earth is full of lovely things
Which our dear Father-God has made,
OF buds and blooms and cleaning wings,
And bursts of light and depths of shade
o, thick across the purple skies
The wondrous flashing stars are strewn
And bright with cherub-children' eyes
The glowing world is overgrown.
But never, in the woods at noon,
Or underneath the stars at night,
Or in the low sweet wales of June,
Or on the mountains upper height
o. never thrilled my blood so much,
And never leaped my heart so wild.
As when / bowed my head to touch
The sweet lips of my first-born child.
All! and know that evermore
l have held higher talk with Heaven,
In deeper whispers than before
That large new blessedness was given.
] could not part her precious hair.
Nor look upon her sacred eyes,
And not within my full soul swear
To mark her steps in Paradise.
hear her low voice in the hall,
Her liquid laugh among the flowers;
And pulse leaps unto pulse, and all
My life goes seeking her for hours
And when she rises to my knee
Ana llghtly nestleS toward my cnceK
With love that clings so utterly,
l clasp her, but / cannot speak.
O. mid the tumult of the town,
The care, the canker and the doubt,
And when the flaming sun goes down.
And when the holy stars are out;
In the great stiffness of the night,
And in the front of garish day,
She wraps me like a robe of light,
And turns to spirit all my clay.
God bless my child! I never knew
LIES vastness until she was born.
God bless my child! and keep her true
Through all her deeper widening morn.
o, reach Thy hand out through the years
And hold her near Thee undefiled;
And give her oil of joy for tears,
And, Father, Father, bless my child!

of Monday when he was seen about

the hill where he could take in the

what really was taking place, and

what was once his roaming and feed
ing grounds. The old fellow felt blue
as his looks and actions showed it. for
he finally shook his head so that his
antlers swayed like trees. then with a
tear in the other eye he turned his
back upon the scene and made off in
another direction. The sound and ring
of an anvil soon struck his ear and
seemed to entice him toward it, and
soon the blacksmith was almost thun-
derstruck to see the monster bull
moose coming toward him. He seemed
thunderstruck. hardly knew what to

The Rules Of the National House.

Congressman Hepburn of Iowa
would, if correctly reported, like to see
the Speaker Of the National House of
Representatives obliged by the rules
of that body to recognize any member
who desires a chance to ventilate his
views upon public questions. This
sounds very well in theory, but the
chances are that it would operate in
practice as Il very effectual bar to the
transaction Of public business. There
are many men of many views in the
National House, and a comparatively
few Of them. with specially loud and
sonorous voices. are quite capable of
consuming all of its time. The fact
has been demonstrated pretty conclu-
sively that the Reed rules are practi-
cally the only ones which will enable
the National House to transact any
business under modern conditions. 1t
will be remembered that the adoption
of those rules was strenuously opposed
by the Democratic party, under the
| able leadership of the late Represen-
tative Crisp of Georgia. Mr. Reed was
vigorously, not to say violently, as
| sailed; but remained steadfast to his
purpose and carried his point. Under
his strong leadership the National
