The poem which aroused the ire of Clustering Bill was composed by Capt. Jack Myers, of the OIym- pia mar ines, and Tecited at pri vate banquet by Capt.TophIan. As the poem has caused slight lnterna tronaf unplel santaess it becomes historical matter. and IS thns given dignity which it's real worth as a literary production does not merit. Following is copy of the poem:
 HoCH DER KAISER. Der Kaiser ion das Faterland. Und Gott und all dIngs command; We two, ach, don't you understand!
 MEINSELF-und Gott. Vile some men sing der bower di-

The Southern Girl.

In concluding an editorial inspired
by a Southern girls regret that she
cannot go to college, Edward Box, in
the Ladies Home Journal, has this to
say of the girls of the Southland : 1.-The
Southern girl is surrounded by life
far truer and more conducive to self
development than girls living in other
sections, because social conditions are
more normal. Her life is healthier
because it is saner, and her mind, by
reason of it, is clearer and more con-
stantly at rest. The rush Of life Of the
North and West is not so stimulating
as many girls suppose. On the con-
trarv, it wears women out as often as
it develops them. In no part of our
country do women look younger at
maturity than in the South. To the
Southern girl, too, nature blooms IN
profusion as she does nowhere else.
The natural history which the North
ern girl must get ont Of books South
ern girls get direct from nature own
hand. She is born Of soil as rich
and coIorful in romantic history as is
the literature of Spain. This she re-
ceives as natural heritage. Her par
ents are, and her ancestors were, among
the best types of American chivalry
and American womanhood. She hears
but one language spoken, and that Is
her own. If there is the introduction
of another tongue it is French, and
with these two she can travel the world
over and never be at disadvantage.
The religion which she learns from
her mother is the highest and best be-
cause it is untainted with modern rev
elation.' The truest friend and safest
teacher in highest living girl can
have is her mother, and in the South
mothers have a way of finding time
for their daughters and being compan-
ions to them. The Southern father is
fond of his children, land proves it by
his presence at the domestic hearth af-
ter his days business is over.

A day or two ago Willie, the seven
year-old son of G. w. BIoss, of North
Branch, near Cumberland, Nd, had a
bloody encounter with game rooster,
which sprang at the boy, striking him
with such force as to fell the lad to the
ground. The boy showed fight, but
he was unevenly matched, as the cock,
with the quickness oflightning, struck
him repeated blows in the face, knock
ing him down twice more, each time
causing the blood to flow freely. The
lads father arrived in time to prevent
serious injury.

A dreadful occurrence is reported
from Cumberland, Nd. The other
night a man about forty years Of age,
moderately well dressed, was found
cut in two on the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks below the Oldtown crossing.
His body was in two separate parts,
the trunk being apart from the legs,
which were separated near the abdo-
men. He was still living and able to
talk. Eye witnesses say that when
they came upon him he was dragging
his trunk by his arms, in which he
seemed to have great strength, on the
track to Join it to his legs. 1t re-
quired three men to hold him in his
frightfully mangled condition. He
gave the name of Bradford Joe. "
He lived about twenty-five minutes
after being found, The only means
of Identification was little book in
which was written the name flames
Donly, Connellsville, Pa" The Lord s
Prayer is also written in the book in
lead pencil. The man, it is supposed,
was a peddler.

The foundation of the $4,000 execu-
ton building, authorized by the State
prison board, is now completed at the
penitentiary at Moundsville, and the
entire structure will be completed and
ready for occupancy within month.
AS the new State law requiring all
executions in West Virginia to take
place at the penitentiary becomes eff
fective only for sentences passed after
July l, the building will be ready in
ample time. 1t is to be quite large
building, 104 feet by 40 feet, Of brick
and two stories in height. In addi-
ton to the large execution room at
the rear, which is so feet by 40 feet,
and the full height of the building,
the prison hospital will be located in
the new building, together with the
prison physicians offices and the tail
or shop. There will be four death
cells, where persons given the death
sentence will be confined until exc.
cuted. The executions will be prac-
ticaIIy private, and the hanging will
be conducted by Warden Sam Hawk
officials from the county where the
sentence was imposed and newspaper
men will be admitted, together with
relatives of the condemned when they
desire to attend.

Rehearsed His Own Funeral.

Parker R. Mason, a Chicago million
aire property owner, died on Thursday
in his old-fashioned mansion near the
lake, not far from the Marine Hospital.
Before his death he had the burial SER
vices read, funeral hymns sung, select
ed his pall-bearers and made every
preparation for his funeral.
Just before his Death he summoned
into his presence the quartette that
was to sing at his funeral and had
them rehearse the hymns to be sung
over his lifeless body, after which he
paid them for their services. Then
he asked to see Rev. John Hoke, the
Presbyterian minister Of Washington
Heights, who had often been his COM
panion on fishing excursions. He
showed the clergyman the place where
he wished to be buried, paid him for
the funeral sermon he wanted preached
and had the minister repeat the text
and part of the sermon to him.
Next he paid for his coffin and set
tied all the undertaker's fees, picked
out the suit he wished to wear in his
coffin and after designating that huge
boulder, which had been dug up in his
yard thirty years ago, be placed over
his grave, closed his eyes and died.
Mr.. Mason was ffty-six years ofage,
was born in Chicago and leaves wife
and four dauphters.
