why 1t Had a Handle.

A large, fiorid complexioned woman car
rying a large bundle wrapped in newspa-
pers, from which protruded the cuff of a
mans Numbered shirt, boarded a Wood
ward-avenue car. She was accompanied by
a small boy, who bore evidence of self-edu-
cation acquired from active membership in
one of the cliques of youngsters that make
many neighborhoods uncomfortable. The
woman seated herself opposite the stove
and the boy forced himself into the few
inches of space between his mother and a
young man. In so doing he smeared a gen.

At the next corner a lady, accompanied
by a gentleman. entered the car Their
dress and manner bespoke social pTomi-

the occupants of the car When its range

loud enough to be heard by all of the pas

The mothers reply was no less audible,

Her Look.

Time may set his fingers there
Fix the smiles that curve about
Her winsome mouth, and touch her hair
Put the curves of youth to rout
But the something God put there,
That which drew me to her first
Not the imps of pain and care.
Not all sorrows fiends accurst,
Can kill the look that God put there.
Something beautiful and rare.
Nothing common can DESTROY:
Not all the leaden load OF care
Not all the dross of earth's alloy;
Better than all fame or gold.
True as only Gtd's own truth,
1t is something all hearts hold
Who have loved once in their youth.
That sweet look her face doth hold
Thus will ever be to me;
Joy may all her pinions fold
Care may come and misery:
Through the days Of murk and shine.
Though the roads be foul or fair
/ will see through loves glad eyne
That sweet lock that God put there.

Who is it sings the Gypses song tonight
To muted strings,
Deep in the linden shade, beyond the light
My easement filings?
Can it be Death who sings? All, no, not he,
For he is old
His voice is like the murmur of the sea
When light grows cold.
The Gypsy song?-
Song of the open road the starry plain
Estranged so long,
Come to the woods, come, for the woods are
green,
The sweet airs blow,
The hawthorn boughs the forest boles between
Are white 80
The wet leaves STIR the dim trees dream again
OF vanished springs
Out in the night out in the slow, soft rain
Ny lest youth sings.

The ceremony took place at Malolos,

his cabinet.
This news comes from Manila, where
the tidings of .Aguinaldo's proceedings
were received with public demonstra-
tons of mild sort.
All is not plain sailing for the insur-
gents, as it is said the rival authorities
at Cebu are fighting.
The trouble has not yet reached an
acute state, but the safety of the town
and surrounding country is in danger.
The northern provinces have. recently
given indications that they are not in
accord with Aguinaldo, and should his
proclamation lead to hostilities with the
Americans, he may have revolution as
well as war of conquest on his hands.
Another serious feature, according to
dispatches, is that the interior Of Luzon
is in "a ferment Native officers have
been murdered and no effort made to
punish the criminals.

Minnesota Railroad Commissioners order
Reduction.
ST. PAUL, JAN 23-The railroad com.
missioners have rendered q decision in
the New Ulm-Duluth hard coal rate
case. They declare that the allegations
of the New Ulm Commercial union,
that the present rates On hard coal are
excessive, are true, and order a general
reduction all along the line and fix j
schedule, which, i'll their opinion, is
proper, reasonable and remunerative
to the railroad companies.
The commission fixed the rate to New
Ulm at $1.95, though the petitioners fol-
a reduction were willing to pay s. pei
ton. The commissioners explained this
by saying the lower rate was made t.
New Ulm in order that consistency
might be preserved. The reduction
averages over so cents a ton.

door of congress. 1t provided for an in

mittee on District of Columbia.
Mr.. Gallinger said there were 8,6 in.

house for males there were 216 hunks

ton to be a disgrace to Washington,
and calculated to bring reproach upon
congress.

Mr.. Lodge then delivered his speech
on the question of ratifying the treaty
with Spain. He believed there was no
other proper course than to ratify the
treaty and then establish stable gov.
eminent IN the islands. We should
keep them under our protection until
such time as they We're able to govern
themselves, and then, if they wished.
give them absolute independence.
Meanwhile we should give them the
largest measure of self government
practicable. He believed as nation we
were both capable and willing to do this.

ernment should make to the Filipinos

dence that are held ont to the Cubans.
