She loved him, too, and, as is often the
case with n good, pure woman, this

EDWIN A READ.
(Died Christmas, 1899


Goodbye. Ned Read, you left us
Christmas morning,
Just as the day broke on a world Of
cheer,
There was no sigh, no look, no word
of warning.
Although we knew for months the
end was near,
Your dearest ones far from you, all
alone,
You stepped across into the dim I'm
knownl
Goodbye, Ned Read gone is the pain
that racked you;
Gone the great hunger for your souls
release,
Gone the despair that like a demon
tracked you,
And in their stead is Deaths eternal
peace;
Goodbye. Ned Read. and we bid adieu,
God knows some live, who would
change place with you.
Death, the great captain, conquereth
all that liveth,
And he hath set his seal upon your
brow,
Such sweet repose unto your soul He
giveth
That naught can harm, naught can
distress you now;
Yet we who stand today beside your
bier,
IN spite of knowing this let fall tear
Goodbye, Ned Read the world wen
on in gladness.
And you went on into your dreamles.
rest.
In your old haunts will linger long
sadness.
A sense Of loss TO us who know tn,
BEST
Where e'er you went. warm friends ant
firm you made.
Within whose hearts your memor,
shall not fade

ous blow from the panther The dog
returned TO the attack only to be-
knocked out again. BY this time one or
two other of the dogs entered the con-
test. and the panther was finally forced
out OF the tree by the hunters.
The minute he hit the ground the
dogs were on him, and within less time
than 1t takes to tell the panther had
knocked all the dogs silly. He then
beat hasty retreat to a nearby cave,
land had to be smoked out He showed
fight again and laid out several more
dogs. BY this time all the hunters who
had been wandering over the country
came up with the chase, and 1t was de-
cided that il possible the panther
should be captured alive.
One or two expert throwers in the
crowd volunteered to capture him, and
accordingly two OF them lassoed him
thus having the panther in a position
where he could not attack either party
In this manner he was held until an
limprcvised cage could be rugged up
and he was then brought back to town
as a trophy Of the days hunt
The report further states that Mr.
Bryan was mounted on buckine
broncho, wore a sombrero and blew a
tin horn. Bryan urged That the animal
be captured alive. Bill Redd agreed
with him and casting his lasso soon
had the varmint fast in the tolls Of his
rope, which was thrown with great
dexterity. II struggled desperately and
killed two Of the dogs

Writing for Gunton's Magazine for
January, concerning the best form Of
governments for Hawaii and our other
islands, George L. Bolen says. "The in
terests OF the American people and Of
American civilization imperatlvely de-
mand that in the formation by Con-
gress of a government for Porto Rico
and Hawaii they be permanently an
nexed as colonies, with no rights OF
American citizenship or statehood.
This would be a precedent for Cuba. ii
it should eventually be annexed. These
people would then in each case be citl-
zens of their own island and would be
secure in their enjoyment at home of
all the rights and immunities guaran-
teed by the Constitution except the
right TO vote on United States affairs
What more could reasonably be asked
Perhaps there are no freer people than
the Australian colonists. people OF
English blood yet they are not voters
in England and never expect to be
They lead the world in some advanced
methods of free government, and d.
not feel that their highest aspirations
are blighted by reason Of their position
as colonists in an imperial system"
