Mr.. President, let me say in conclu-
sion that have hope that this body
is too patriotic to endanger this coun-
try by selling our birthright to Eng
land or any other nation for mess of
pottage, nor will ever give my con-
sent to enter into any treaty or en-
tangled alliance with any other nation
whereby our peace, prosperity and
freedom shall be endangered. Nay,
not even at the cost of this canal.
But we can build this canal ourselves.
We need not ask the aid of any other
power to assist We need not 90
abroad to seek capital or aid; and
rather than be beholden to any other
power by an alliance which brings us
nothing but a mess of international
complications, and make US the tool to
assist England in every quarrel she
may have in the future, should vote
to table the bill for the canal as we'll
as the treaty. If this republic is to
endure, let us not pin the stars and
stripes to any other flag.

You may talk of eyes of grey
Soft and soothing in their light,
And of blue eyes shining brightly
Like the stars at hush of night.
But no eyes to me so bright
Whether far or near roam,
AS the eyes of brown that sparkle
In my sweet happy home.
You may talk of faces fair,
Pure. and classic in their mould,
And of beauty in the features,
Shed from souls that are pure gold,
But no face to me so fair
Wheresoever may roam,
AS the pretty face that's waiting
Every night for me at home.
You may talk of lips that kiss
All the sorrows from the heart
And the clinging of caresses
Where the soul is but part.
But no lips can ever give

For the kiss when 1 60 home.

their peerage here to steal every beau
tiful American girl or heiress of a
fortune large enough to attract their
attention, and carry her and her for
tune across the water, leaving the
American youths to take the poor girls
or live alone. They are also beginning
to take our millionaires too. Witness
the recent removal of Astor, Carnegie,

blessing in disguise
They have finally made us swallow
our famous and sacred Monroe Doc
trine by creating an ambition into us
to go gadding across the seas into the
far east and obtain new lands and
territory out of which to form an
empire as soon as we are ripe for the
change, and at the present rapid
progress it will not be long until we
are ripe. They have taught us the best
mode of civilizing such people as the
F'ilipinos, by sending our armies
there to kill them off, so that if ever
we are to assert the Monroe Doctrine
again, they can hold us up to the ridi-
cule and laughter of the nations of the
earth, as they tell us, "why don't you

their parliament or edict of that crown

States? Not one: they did not even
make any pretension of friendship
toward us until in recent years. They
certainly gave their moral support to

You may talk of hearts that beat
Pure as angels in their love,
And of hearts whose tender passion
Shines as true as stars above:
But no heart will ever throb
With love for me, like one
Whose dear love is never failing
On the Altar of our home.
For my home heaven is,
Of serene and calm delight
Where not cloud of sorrow
Comes with its whitening blight,
And an Angel dwelleth there
And her presence cheers my life,
For the thought is present ever,
That this Angel is my wife.

Ger the ruins of that home;

Waits no more for me to come.

For crime that clouds my life,

Cost Of Trip to South Africa.

In spite of the large American inter
ests in the Transvaal and other parts
of South Africa, no direct lines of
passenger communication between the
United States and that country have
ever been established. All passenger
traffic for the scene of the present war
between the Boer and the Briton must
be by way of Europe. From there one
may have, the choice of several lines.
The steamships of the German East
African line touch at Amsterdam
twice month on their way to Delagoa
bay and Durham. Steamers of the
Union and Castle lines sail each Satur-
day from Southampton, Eng, for
South African ports, but first go to
Holland to pick up passengers and
freight. The British and colonial
steamships sail every fortnight direct
from London to Cape Town. They
are Of light draught, especially de-
signed to cross the bar at East London
and Natal, but carry only first-class
passengers. Rates of passage from
London to Cape Town range from
$66.43, third class, up to $199.28, first
class. The distance from London is
1891 miles, and the average time of
the voyage by royal mail steamers is
II days and by other lines about 81
days. From New York one must add,
of course, to these figures from six to
nine days of the time, and from $50
to $100 for fare. In brief, a traveller
from New York to Cape Town, by way
of England might reasonably hope to
make the voyage in something less
than 80 days, and possibly in 25, at an
expense for steamer fare Of from
$13643 to about $500, according to
the accommodations desired. Most of
the English lines sell through tickets
to johannesburg by way of Cape
Town, the first class +are being
$225.13, and the additional time from
Cape Town by rail about two days.
1t is hardly necessary to add that
during the reigning unpleasantness
there is no railway communication be-
tween Cape Town and Johannesburg,
nor is there likely to be until the way
is forced open by the British army
with bayonet and cannon

One day l trod upon heart
Set heel upon it where it lay.
My shoe was purple, and my art
Could wash the stain away.

Crushed between breasts of lovers

Or like the bruised wistaria does
Beneath a summer hail.
| washed my shoe within brook
And dried it on the FURNISHED grass;
The water laughed up at my look,
But the bent sky was brass!
I passed again along the way
When the rich, fallow evening
swooned.
I saw the same heart where it lay;
1t never showed a wound!
But as I walked my nostrils filled
Full of that rose scent, overfair,
Like fine Persian altar spilled
Far faint on the heavy air.
I flung away the purple shoe
And naked footed took the sod,
But every footprint, well I knew,
Smelt guiltily to God.

CURES coLoRED SLIDES.
FROM NEW YORK MUSEUM
Society's Purpose to Make Children CT
the State Familiar With Native
Birds as Means of Preventing Their
Destruction-Slides Are to Be
Loaned to Schools.

The Madison Audubon society, by
tional department of our state and
that of New York, has recently pur-
chased seventy colored bird slides
from the American Museum of Natural
History Of New York city. 1t is the
desire Of the society to make such use
of the slides as will arouse an interest
in the study of birds among the school
children throughout the state. Other
sets of slides are being made from
photographs of living birds in the VI
cinity of Madison and elsewhere and
these will be used for the same pur-
pose. All money which the society re-
ceives over and above expenses will be
expended in the preparation of these
additional Slides 1t is hoped that in
this way the children of the state can
be made familiar with most of our ma
tive birds and an interest be thus
aroused which will prove an efficient
means of defending them from wanton
destruction Bird study, as method
of interesting both old and young in
udIuIO WOIh, CctA LAItO OC pOpo1C1A 1870
The society earnestly solicits the aid
of all bird lovers in this work. 1t is
the ultimate purpose Of the society to
have made number of sets of slides
covering the whole range of the AMI
NAL world. All amateur photog-
raphers who have negatives of living
animals are asked to aid the society by
the loan or gift of such negatives as
are available for the making of slides.
In order that the various schools in
the state may have convenient access
to these slides, the following rules are
deemed advisable.
/. The payment Of SIS entities any
school, public or private, to the use of
the slides for period of time not ex-
ceeding three days, from the receipt oil
the slides to their return shipment.
ANY society or other organization may
have the same privilege of using the
slides, provided that the schools shall
have the preference as to dates
2. An additional fee of So entities
any school to further use of the same
slides Cor of any others which the So
ciety may purchase) during the cur
rent school year on the same condi-
lions as before.
8. In order to secure the Audubon
society from all loss by accident or
otherwise, the school, society, or other
organization to which the slides are
sent shall furnish a guarantee signed
by three responsible citizens that the
slides will be returned in good condi-
ton.
4. The following additional eX-
penses must be paid for the use of the
slides: ID Express charges both
ways. CD In case a lecturer is sup
piled by the society his expenses must
be paid CD If lantern is required
to be sent with the slides, the expenses
will vary with the kind of lantern de-
sired and whether an operator is fur
nished by the society.
Prompt application to Prof. W. S.
Marshall, president of the Audubon
society, will assure preferred dates.
The slides will be sent out to the
schools from Dec. to June Is of the
current school year.

REPORTER GOT EVEN.
Mariner Told His Sea Serpent Yarn
Once Too Often.

In the haunts of the marine men are
a number of both real and Would-be
practical jokers. They usually vent
their surplus energy on the newest
newspaper man, or the young fellow
who is just trying to learn the intrica-
cies of the marine business. A few
stories that are usually told these new
reporters are so old that the old
timers can spy them out when they
see the headlines over them. They
are told to every new man in the bust
ness and sometimes get into print.
One of them is about a phantom ship
that in years past made it's appearance
every spring. Another is of a
schooner which never existed that
comes from some unheard-of and
equally mythical island, with a
strange cargo The third is a sea SER
pent story, the latter probably having
been worked the hardest.

again. He told it to a reporter for an
afternoon paper some years ago, and
the next morning he went into the
tug office in high glee with a copy of
the paper in his hand The reporter
had written up a narrowing ex-
perience that this man YVES supposed
to have had with the sea serpent, and
entered into details as 10 what the
beast or reptile or fish looked like.
All had a good laugh over it and the
company separated. That afternoon
the old tar made his appearance in the
tug office, but this time he was white
with rage and swearing variegated
oaths. He swore he would annihilate
that reporter on sight, and as some of
them took him seriously they tele-
phoned the scribe to favor that Office
with his absence that afternoon.
The tar foamed and fretted and
swore for the better part of two hours
