voice. But the truth shone III her eyes. He

A Cloudy Day.

The suns bright galleon at morning rode
Across the harbor bar In tranquil seas;
The sky was clear. and soft the summer air
That breathed the liiy's scented secret wide:
The robin whistled from the orchard croft,
And like that soul upon Peruvian hills,
My spirit drank the beauty Of the scene
In love and wonder.
Soon marauding clouds.
Dark swarthy pirates Of the upper deep.
Closed in around the beauty of his way,
And bound his shallop with their dusky bands,
And led it captive down the sombre west.
The midge's wing went out; the robins lay
Grew tremulous along the river vale,
And then my song Of admiration failed.
Toward the night when countless eyes had looked
In vain for his bright presence in the sky.
When robin had withheld his song, and shrines
Where butterflies had worshiped were all gone,
When greenwood theaters where MINISTRIES sang
Were emptied quite and all the players gone.
At this last hour. the suns lost galleon
Triumphant rode into its western bay;
Its boarded gold was pouring from Its crypts.
And fell in benediction on the land.
The valleys caught the splendor. and the hills:
The world glowed In the beauty long withheld,
But then bequeathed In such munihcence
That all forgot the poverty Of noon;
And with the robins soul in song, my own
Revealment made of gifts whose royal tints
Would light the dusky avenues Of night,
And mingle with the golden dreams of dawn!

peared, and within a fortnight eleven men
had been seized, all from one camp. The
third week brought the list of victims up to
fifteen. The sixteenth victim was one OF
the coolie overseers, a huge man. standing
over six feet and weighing more than 200
pounds. He was the first man to reach the
work line in the morning. and just as he
was giving some Instructions a Hon sprang
upon him and dealt him a terrible blow on
the head. crushing the skull: Then ne cooly
began to eat his prey, while the shivering
Indians stood about 300 feet away feeling
that they were safe now that the lion had
got his man. Somehow 1t didn't occur TO
them to shoot until the brute had half nm
ished his meal, and then they blazed away
in a terrific volley and ended the animals
career then and there.
It was not until twenty-eight coolies had
been killed that the large force of workmen
went on a strike. They declined to do an
other bit of work until all the man-eaters
had been cleared out of the. surrounding
country. Work was suspended till a party
of hunters had laid low the last of these
formidable foes of man, and since then no
further casualties of the sort have been re-
ported.

LIONS.
Their Ravages Among Railroad
Builders in East Africa.

Builders I'm East Africa.
New York Sun.
Some further facts have been received OF
the man-eating lions which made such q
panic among 1900 Indian coolies working on
the Uganda Railroad a few months ago. 1t
appears that the first time the laborers
knew anything about lions that make a bus
mess Of killing men to eat was one day
when one of the brutes, in broad daylight,
as the laborers were strung along the line
with shovels In hand. suddenly sprang
in among them. crushed one poor fellows

MANNED another so badly that he could not
get away. OF course. all the Mortified

alarm at the camp miles away. The dis

went to the spot. but the lion had disap-
peared, leaving all of the two bodies that
he could not eat at one meal.

the line of work. but IL made little differ

THE JOURNALS POETS.
A Reverie.

We're ~tottering home with many fears,
For only straws are in our hands
How-be-it through white harvest lands
We've journeyed. 10. these many years.
Relentless mem'ry keeps with care
Life's record without blur or break,
And though our eyes are dim and ache,
They are forever focused there.
We're held as by an incubus
We cannot take our eyes therefrom-
Then does that .chider. Conscience, come
And in reproving tones speaks thus:
See. you have made this glaring flaw.
Mint. anise seed and cumin seed:
You paid your 1.-THE, but gave no heed
To weightier matters of the law"
Faith. Mercy. Judgment. these ought ys
To have done and still not to leave
The others undone to receive
Damnation, thou blind Pharisee.
Although our youthful years were spent
Where homely joys supremely reigned,
We know we might have fought and gained
Fame's strongly guarded battlement.
For once our pathway came upon
Dear Opportunity. whose hand
f1Siu u 10 US n COuqueIlnS WdDGs
We hesitated-she was gone.
Each life. the grave, old sages. all,
Down through the misty ages say,
Has in it an apocrypha,
Wherein is our apocryphal?
Our motives are like roses: pull
A rose bush up-it ends In dirt;
However. no one dare assert
That roses are not beautiful. .
Who knows the future. when stern Fate
May touch the poised kaleidoscope.
Where beckons. now. white hands Of Hone.
May clench the burly fists Of Hate.
A man may be respected we'll
May wear white robes OF piety-
May feed the poor and still may be
A Dives on his road to hell.
The world is crowded full to-day
OF Samsons, shaver. blind and bound
Fast to the prison mill. and round
They turn and grind their lives away.
Upon the fancied ambushes
OF future wants. we train each gun;
While present wants about us run
Like hordes of hungry savages.
When frugal men have fastened where
The grain grew ripe. we let them pass.
To search for flowers among the grass
That Siren perfume said were there.
Or in f1ecked shadows of the copse,
Watched parent birds that sang and few
On eager pinions from and to
Loved nesting in the May bloom tops.
So home we go with many fears.
For only straws are in our hands,
Albeit through white harvest lands
We've journeyed. 10. these many years.
But Hope comes near US as we 60
And whispers: God Is wondrous kind,
And through His eyes Of love may find
Some ripe, rich grain you do not know.

Trouble Brewing.

From present indications there will
be serious squabble between Uncle
Sam and the Choctaw Nation.
A resolution was passed today by
the Choctaw council demanding that
the secretary of the interior account
to Gov. McCurtain for all moneys
belonging to their nation and to
return to them the control of their
schools.
A bill has been introduced and
passed the lower house refusing to
appropriate money to pay for the
schools under Uncle Sans manage
ment, and in the event the schools
are not turned over to the Choctaw
officials all the children will be or

RINGLlNG DAY TOMORRuW
The Visit of the Worlds Grestest
Shows Approschine.

The Visit of the Worlds Greatest
Shows Approaching.
Ringing day is almost here. The
coming of Ringing Brothers famous
big circus tomorrow, Saturday, Oct.
IA, is the one topic of conversation.
Expectation has been aroused as
never before. The public confidently
looks forward to seeing a great show,
and it will not be disappointed The
parade which inaugurates circus day
would be sufficient to stamp the
show as the monarch of all tent
amusements. This stupendous dis
play engages the services of over a
thousand men, women and children,
and fully five hundred thoroughbred
horses. There are over a hundred
magnificentlY carved and gold illu-
minated cages, dens and tableau
floats. Each of the thirty great sec
tions in which the parade is divided
would be lavish display for any
other circus. The procession will
leave the show grounds at ten
O'Clock, and the rou.e will be the
usual one over the principal down
town streets. Do not miss it. 1t
will be the spectacle OF a lifetime.
The magnitude of the parade will
prepare the public in some measure
for the wonders of the exhibition.
Imagine vast hippodrome pavilion,
with seats for is, 900 persons. Fill
this great amphitheatre with rings
and stages, and a bewildering maze
of aerial apparatus. Surround the
rings with great fourth mile racing
track, and fill rings and stages,
track and mid-air with an endless
array of aerialists and acrobats, rid
ers and racers, all attired in the
most beautiful silks and cloth of
gold, and each vieing with the others
in grace, dexterity and daring-ima-
gine all this, and you will still fall
far short of the reality. The per-
formance opens with the beautiful
patriotic spectacle, The Last Days
of the Century" a noble introduc-
ton to a noble show. The arenic
surprises that follow include O'Bri-
ems famous sixty-one horse act;
three troupes of remarkably trained
elephants, embracing Lockhart's
elephant comedians, Souder's sensa-
tional elephant brass band and Mar
chand's pugilistic proboscidians; an
international horse exhibit, intro
ducing beautifully-effective high
class menage riding by Nine. Ada
CASTILLO and Miss Allie Jackson; q
complete company of aerial artists
headed by the great Fishers; the
worlds greatest possible acrobats,
the incompatible DaComas; a score
of famous bareback riders, including
Michael and John Rooney, Edward
Shipp, Julia Lowande, Elena Ryland,
Olga Reed and Albert Crandall,
whose sensational act of equestrian
ism is performed upon the back of a
mule; and scores of others equally
famous. The menagerie is the finest
collection of rare wild animals to be
found within the confines of civiliza-
ton. and the show in its entirety is
revelation of what managerial
ability, progressive originality and
unlimited capital can do in creating
a great public amusement. Reserved
numbered seats and admissions show
day without any advance in price at
Bonner & Bonner's drug store.
