There are stains On the laurel-leaf,
And the pages Of Fame are hlOttsd
With the tears Of needles Erisf.
The bird is slaughtered for fashion,
And the beast is killed for sport;
And never the word compassion
Is whispered at MoiOeh's court
For the parent seal in the water

That some sister OF wife or daughter
Her beauty may beautify.

The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1899-12-15

A resolution has been introduced
IN congress expressing sympathy with
the Beers in their unequal conflict
with the British. 1t is not likely to
be passed because Of the administra-
ton majority, but it will cause q lively
debate. 1t would be unfortunate in
deed if the people Of the greatest re-
public on earth, with all the lingering
memories Of our colonial conflict with
the same great power, and our indie
pendence finally secured by the time
" and friendly aid Of France. should
not at least sympathize with the little
Dutch commonwealth. Otherwise our
meanness would be more colossal than
our magnitude.

The worst thing about being fat is that you
are so much In your own way.
The only thing a man won't forgive woman
he loved for is being able to live without him.
Probably the original idea Of giving love
wings was 50 man could use them after he got
married.
The man who gets his rights isn't the one who
always insists on having them be is the man
who insists on other peoples insisting on his
having them.

many things showed blindness. They ac-
copied the mailman Quesnay de Beaura-
paire, as their spokesman, but they had a
keen instinct for the ultimate trcud Of

orally unfortunate in the use OF the pen.
He lacks artistic sensiblities and can
not disassociate himself from his ego to
fly into the feelings of others, One sees
this harsh egotism In his correspondence
with his wife. He was never more un-
fortunate than in the letter complaining
that Nj, Casimer-Perier did not keep a
promise to him. II exasperated Casimir-
Perier, who treated as foul libel the as
sertton that he. as president OF the rs-
