reported disappearance of Stewart. The
lookout notice was read in the station
and newspapers printed stories of his dis
appearance. Cox. however never said a
word to the lieutenant about the presence
of Stewart in his house. and 1t was only
through the work of the detectives that he
was finally located. This was brought
about by the checks that Stewart had Civ

policeman, and this prompted the belief
that the latter was probably harboring the
missing man.

been assaled without any reason. and a

be a serious injustice to them.
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny said the
case had been Investigated by the district

Modern Sequence"

+"O"'i u
Massachusetts is moving to amend
history by repeating the ordinances
under which Roger Williams was ex-
He'd.
Not only 50, but it is proposed to
eXpunge from the court records all the

in that act of intolerance.
SO that 1t will hereafter appear that,
"oflicially," the Roger Williams in
cident never occurred
There is some comfort in this eX-
ample Of sovereign attempt at restitu-

o1hclally historic perpetulty OF the
provincial ordinance is-''it is not in
accord with the law of modern

ORIGINAL POETRY.


Dear friend, excuse the freedom that take,
Nor blame me for this freak for PHYS sake !;
Scan not my humble verse with critics eye !;
My will is good, so let the faults go by.
Be not severe should perfect rhyme give way
TO rantng verse, in what have to say.
So, while beneath a Texan sky you roam,
Let me describe some little scenes at home
First comes the sanctum, for that has its
share
OF grand disorder and a want of care
Where bits of ore from every State are found
And "cranks'' and wheels of every form
abound
All kinds OF motions made with greatest
care
Though not perpetual you'll find them
there;
OF books and papers not one corner free,
From "Grcely's Farming to philosophy;
And worn-out clocks that have not got the
power
TO beat the seconds for one single hour.
Here "ALEN" rcvels in his ancient lore
Give him his books he seldom asks for more ;
N''''N'i'N' 'ii''' MS S1i'''NS' IVY W 'ltiN'
Each shining planet in the bOundeSs space :;
Stretched out at ease we let him thus remain,
While on the walls he counts his thousands
slain!
And good Old prince still makes his daily
round,
With careful steps, his head bent to the
ground;
In vain he tries well known step to trace,
And looks eXpcctant for the missing face
Poor, noble dog, his limbs bear many scar,
That proves his prowess in each canine war ;
No coward blood, no mean deceit has he
"A living model of fidelity ~
His only pleasure is a masters care
\ simple bone he deems Il grateful share
Give him but these a happy dog is he,
Obeys each word, and guards your property.
So while around that sunny land you roam,
Forget not friends that think of you at home.
Our kind regards, my friend by this you IL
learn,
'Prince' and myself will hail your safe
return.

\ New Definition.

Mr.. Halstead, United States consul
at Birmingham, England, says:
The word imported has not for the ears
of Britishers the dulcet sound it has with us
Americans will certainly pay for an import
ed article more than'for Il domestic article
equally as good, if not better. The people of
Great Britain do exactly the reverse and very
few of them will even buy an article of foreign
manufacture if the same article is made at
home, and this irrespective of cost. If this
example Of British loyalty was followed in
the United States, it would knock out the
whole argument Of the protectionist of this
country.
So that the real definition of "pro-
tective" tariff is-a tabulatod injunc-
tion against popular disloyalty.
