TO Be M'KINLEY'S
RUNNING MATE.
Thar is Whaf Washington Gossip
Says of Roosevelt
LEADERS DISCUSS POLITICS.

Washington. Nov 4 According
to gossip floating around this city
today, republican politicians are
already specializing on who will
be Mckinley's running mate next
year 1t is known that even tho
Mr. Hobart should recover, he Will
entirely withdraw from politics,
The candidate most talked of is
Governor Roosevelt. The know
ing ones, however, say it is really
too early to discuss matter of
such vast political Importance.
Their idea is that sentiment will
hardly take definite shape before
the assem- bling of the blican
national committee next month.
Then not only will all the congress
men be on hand, but influential
republicans from all parts of the
country will be here.
Gossip says that Roosevelt would
accept the nomination if the party
leaders should agree upon him.
Senator Chauncy NJ Pepew is
boosting Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff of New York as can
didate for the vice presidency next
year, but in an interview today
said he had nothing to say to the
public.

Cape Town, Nov. 4. "A dispatch
from Pietermaritzburg says that
the Beers are apparently retiring
from their position before Lady
smith and going toward the south.
This is undoubtedly the Boer
movement upon Colenso which was
mentioned as probable a few days
ago. This conflicts, however, with
the report received today that both
sides were holding their positions
Wednesday afternoon, and the dis
crepancy cannot be accounted for.
London, Nov. A dispatch
from Cape Town says that the stu
alton in Natal is serious. as the
Beers are liable to overrun the
whole province.

Help that Comes too Late.

It's wearisome world, this world OF ours,
With its tangles small and great,
LIS weeds that smother tine sprlnglng mowers,
And its hapless strifes with tate;
AND the darkest day of its desolate DAYS
Sees the help that comes too late.
All, woe for the world that is never said
iii the ear is too deaf to hear,
And woe for the lack to the falntlng head
VI the ringing shout OF cheer;
ANA woe for the laggard feet that tread
In the mOurnful wake OF the pier.
What booteth help W hen the heart is numb
w nat booteth broken spar
Ut love thrown out when the lips are dumb
And LIES bark drfteth far
Oh! far and fast from the alien past
over the morning bar?
A pitiful thing the gift to-day
That is dross and nothing worth,
Though if it had come but yesterday
1t had brimmed with sweet the earth
A fading rose in death hand
That persisted in want and dearth.
Who fain would help in this world of ours,
Where sorrowful steps must fall,
Bring help in time to the waning powers,
Ere the brier is spread with the pail;
Nor send reserves when the flags are turled
And the dead beyond recall.
For battling most in this weary world,
With its tangies small and great,
Its lonesome nights and it's weary days,
And its struggles forlorn with fate,
Is that hitterest grief. too deep for tears,
or the help that comes too late
Margaret E. Sangster.
