DEEDS AND DREAMS.
dreamed

1oung John Jones sat down and dreamed
" the things he meant to do;
ana the way his fancy schemed
Gave his thoughts rosy hue,
am going to be great"
said young John Jones;
Master great affairs of state"
SAID young John Jones:
Rings and queens on me shall wait"
said young John Jones'
Young BIZ Brown got down to work
In corner grocery store;
And he hustled like Turk
III his master paid him more.
Il don't know what l may do"
Said young Bill Brown
But what l can I'm going to-"
Said young Bill Brown:
and l guess III get my DUE"
Said young Bill Brown.
Young John Jones still thought and thought
OF his futures howery ways
And his fruitful fancy caught
Notes of many nations praise.
So he dreamed and dreamed and
dreamed,
Did young John Jones;
And brilliant boy he seemed
Did young John Jones;
ana bright young man was deemed,
Was young John Jones.
N''o 4|'i' ~ wv II JUST ptSSPu dlOuRt
Learning something every day,
Cheering comrades with a song,
Drawing large and larger pay
HI was rather commonplace,
was young BIZ Brown
But he had an earnest face,
Had young Bill Brown;
And he hit a steady pace
Did young Bill Brown.
Old Jack Jones somehow has failed
TO achieve the shining height
Which his youthful dreams assaied
With such fanciful delight
Couldn't reach the top somehow,
Could old Jack Jones;
Fame has never famed his brow,
Not old Jack Jones';
And he's poor and friendless now,
Is old Jack Jones.
Mr.. William Henry Brown
Runs wholesale store or two
Owns quarter Of the town.
And believes he's got his due.
In the prints we often read
OF w. II. Brown
He's a noted man indeed,
Is W. II. Brown.
Doing things has been the creed
OF w. II. Brown.

That was what Gladys Clayton, lit
tie southern girl, said one morning 10 a
small boy dressed in blue who, upon
her approach, had half risen to a sit
ting posture beside a path which led
both TO spring and a negro cabin,
within haling distance of the spot
where the reclining uniformed figure
was gazing in open-cyed wonder on the
vision of Juvenile loveliness.
Eyes. I'm a Yank," replied the boy,
instinctively saluting; you can tell
that by my blue" then he paused fer
second and said, hesitatingly: "Of
course you are-are-a-"
The boy in blue blushed and the
little maid, with a twinkle in her eyes.
said:
"a little rebel. Do you surrender"
Hardly" replied the boy, making an
endeavor to take his feet, but falling
back until he supported himself upon
his elbow. An expression of pain swept
over his face which startled the child
Us she exclaimed, in sympathetic tones:
"Oh, dear, what pity! You are
wounded, and only a boy" then, rs il
reinsurance, she added: "You needn't
be afraid, Yankee boy; 7 won't hurt
you, and all the gray soldiers are gone
away"
"Where am II" asked the drummer
boy.
"You are on the Clayton plantation,
Yankee boy; my mother says hat it is
20 miles from Nowhere, and the last
place that was made"
"Thcre's been a big fight" said the
boy; (which licked?"
"Mother says" answered the girl,
"that she recllons that they both got
all they wanted, and then withdrew in
good order"
"Nhere is your father?"

with great deal of energy thrown into
the words.
"Oh. MOI" exclaimed the boy. and
then, in spite of himself, he permitted
a groau to escape his lips.

up W Uilil, uic YOU nun mum, ltllc
Yankee boy?"
For the moment the boy in blue had
forgotten himself, as he asked, in anX-
iety:
"Please, little girl, have you seen my
drum"
The girl looked up and down the
path and either side. and at length she
discovered the wreck of the martial in
strument.
"IIcre it is. little boy" said the girl,
with much dignity.
"Thanks. miss" said the soldier boy;
"the rebs have shot it full Of holes, and
it's no good; throw it away"
The girl threw the shattered drum
into the bushes.
"What can 1 do for you?" asked the
girl, somewhat perpleXed at the stua-
ton.
'I'll tell you" replied the boy. "and
I want you TO do it right quick. | want
you to get me out of this right smart
for scouting party of rebs might come

"Yanllee boy, my mamma would have

claimed:

From Yesterday, Last Edition

From Yesterday, Last Edition.
Mr. and Mrs. Alex Holmes were
agreeably surprised at about 7.30 Sat
urday night, when about forty Of their
friends walked up to their door quite
unannounced and signiiied their inten-
ton of spending the evening there.
The host and hostess were somewhat
taken aback at first but We're never
, theless pleased to receive their visitors
and ii very pleasant time was had.
A few weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs.
| Holmes celebrated The 22d annivcr-
sary of their marriage by inviting
some of their friends, including those
who formerly boarded with them at
their Chamberlain house to il social
gathering. This event ON Saturday
night was a return partly given by
guests of that previous occasion.
They We're presented in behalf Of
the party with a nice plush sofa in
token of the esteem held for them.
The evening was passed in singing,
music, and in dancing. Among those
who sang were Mrs. Holmes, Alex
Coutts, Mr.. and Mrs. Pcdronl. Music
for dancing was furnished by William
Troup and George Angus. William
Troup did the sword dance and James
Coutts gave an exhibition Of clog dane
ing. Mr.. pedroni gave fine solo on
the either.
The party broke up at midnight
when all united in their expression of
best wishes for their host and hostess.
The Holmes family is one of the old
est Scotch families in Vermont. The
following is a reprint from the Yer

commanded auntie, who had arrived in
advance of her rheumatic husband.
The labors of years and perfect health
had given the black woman immense
strength, and the drummer boy was
little more of a burden to her than an
infant.
Gladys ran on ahead to the cabin.
Auntie strobe on, taking such immense
steps that her husband, in vain en-.
deavor to keep up, was taken with
fit of coughing, and was obliged to
take long rest by the wayside When
he did arrive at the cabin the boy in
blue was snugly hid away in its privacy,
and receiving the kind Offices of the
colored woman, who had had many,
many years of experience in nursing.
Now that the wounded drummer boy
was made as comfortable as possible.
auntie closed the cabin door and said,
as imprcssivcly as if she WAS reciting
one Of her best ghost stories:
"1ou hear me, Miss Gladys, an you,
ole man, you both done keep your
mouth shut bout this ere young 'un.
You both all know that the missy at
the big house is just pizen on the Yam

an. But for all that we mustn't let her
know of this little chap a-hidin' here

ONE MURDERER YET UNTRIED
The Case of George w. Horton May
He Called Monday.

George W. Horton is the only prisoner at
present in the District Jail awaiting trial
upon the charge of murder. At one time
during the last four months there were as
many as eleven prisoners in jail charged
with murder, but on account of information
received at the District Attorneys Office,
five of these were charged only with man
slaughter when called 10 trial. Those tried
for murder and convicted were William
Stra;her, Charles Winston. Edward Smith.
William X. Reed, James Powell. and
George Grant Sewell. The first two men
toned have already been executed, and
the third is under sentence to be hanged
on Friday.
During the trials Of all the condemned
the Government was represented by Assist
ant District Attorneys Joseph Shillington,
John e. Laskey. and Ashley NJ. Gould.
II is very probable that George w. Hor-
ton will be called TO answer for his crime
on Monday next in Criminal Court No. l,
before Justice Clabaugh and jury. The
crime for which Horton will be called to
answer was committed in open daylight
in Armory Park when the pathway was
crowded with people. He is accused OF
numbering Mrs. Jane Nicholson, a woman
with whom It is said he had been unduly
intimate and with whom he had been out
bicycle riding only few minutes before he
stabbed her TO death.

THE w1ee1ns DIVORCE CASE.
The Wife's Petition Is 10 BE Resub-
mitfed 10 the Court.


In all probability Mrs. Margaret Virgins,
who is suing her husband, John Virgins,
for divorce on the ground of desertion.
will today. through her attorney, John ].
Dolan, again submit her petition TO the
Supreme Court of the District. Seine time
ago it will be remembered Justice Cole,
sitting in Equity Court No. 2, after hear
ing the testimony in the case. granted Mrs.
Virgins petition. but on mcticn of her
counsel, day or two later, the decree was
vacated This action was taken by the
petitioners counsel and the court, because
of letter written by DIR. ]. f. Collins.
q next door neighbor Of Mrs. Virgins. in
which il was intimated that an injustice
had been done the defendant husband.
As soon as Mr.. Doian was acquainted
with the contents OF the communication,
not being willing to be party TO either
Eiea1ding the Court, asked that the decree
be revoked. Since that time, however, he
has taken additional testimony which he
will submit TO the court with the petition
for divorce. Among the witnesses who
were examined with a view of throwing
new light on the matter were Dr. Collins,
Mr.. Elliott, and Mrs. Harper, the latter
living in the same house with .drs.
Virgins for a long time, and Mrs Wig
gins two children Mr.. Virgins, the de-
fendant, was also present at the examina-
tion of these witnesses but was not rep
resented by counsel. 1t is understood that
the evidence given by these witnesses was
In the main corroborative of that previ-
ousiy submitted to the court. tending TO
prove that the defendant, John Virgins,
deserted his wife more than two years
ago and has established separate domi-
cile.
II is said that DIR. Collins, in his testi-
mony before the examiner, admitted that
when he wrote the letter in reference to
the granting OF decree of divorce to Mrs.
Virgins, he had not read the evidence
submitted in the case In this connection
II may be stated that the defendant lad
read the testimony but interposed no cb-
lection TO the granting of the decree.
