THAT MAN A oREAMER7

That man a dreamer? Nay, his soul has
wings
Which lift him from the realm of common
things.
To where he cleaves the limpid upper air
And poised on strong and ~tireless pinfons
Sweeps time and space with piercing. eagle
glance.
Cutting through clouds of earth-bound cir
eumstance.
What cares this man for earthly gauds or
gold?
Before his eyes eternal years unfold;
He sees the motives deeply masked in man,
And that which links him unto some great
plan,
Which he. short-sighted fool. with ban
daged eyes,
Hears of with dim ~incredulous surprise.
He sees in lenses made of human tears
The clear reflections of u~ncounted years,
Inc rays of hope which through such prisms
For him make pictures in a magic glass;
Prophetic pictures, beautiful, sublime,
Etched thus on crystal by the touch of
time.
He sees the forms of mighty things to be.
Inc time when all men shall be wise and
free;
The day when little envies, little hates,
Fan from them as they pass the golden
gates;
And stretching out through spaces yelled
and vast,
The struggles of the present and the past
That man a dreamer? No. his clear sight
sees
"A million truths hid from the restless feas
VINO grope upon the sin-stained crust OF
earth,
And mock at mightiest men of loftiel
birth.
They are the dreamers who half know
laIf see
What God reveals to thinkers such as he
He is Gods priest and prophet, let him be

A HEARTY WELCOME HOME.
GOy-Elect Yates of Illinois Given an
Ovation-AIl Parties United
to Do Hszn Honor.

Jacksonville. Ill, Nov. 10.-Frona
what took place her Thursday even
ing, Gov.-elect Yates should feel well
satisfied thai his fellow-townsmen
love him and rejoice in his success. a
grand ovation was planned for him.
Marching clubs, drum corps, bands
and the citizens generally, irrespec,
tive of party, turned out and paraded
the streets, first going to the depot to
welcome the goyernor-elect. When
he reached the city, at 1880 o'clock,
whistles screamed and bells rang, and
he was borne bodily to his carriage.
AS the procession started, cannon
doomed and the enthusiasm of the
people broke forth. Houses and stores
we're splendidly Illuminated and no
pains were spared to make the occa-
sion a brilliant one.
Cheering crowds lined the streets
and followed the cavalcade to the
great circus tent where Judge Yate
entered amid a storm of applause.
Several times he tried to speak, but
each time cheer after cheer drowned
his voice. This was continued for
| some time, until, from sheer exhaus-
tlOn, the vast InTOHS Qu1eteu, anu
then the judge said:
During the past 65 days I have
visited 95 counties and attended 229
rallies, where / have heard 229 bands,
but the music of none has been so
sweet as that of the juvenile band
here at home. 1 have seen at least 129
professions, but non has been as fine
and attractive as the one composed of
the marching clubs of dear old Nor
gan county. 1 have heard at least 229
audiences cheer, but in all the cam
| paign I have not enjoyed any cheers
as I rave enjoyed those which I hear
tonight. I appreciate your affection
and esteem more than / can tell"
The audience was so enthusiastic
that it was difficult for the speaker
to proceed, and the goyernor-elect
gave way to DR.. Wiley, of Franklin, a
democratic precinct. He said:
"a contest has been held to decide
the most popular candidate for gov
ernor, and it was decided in favor oi
Judge Yates"
A fine silk flag had been awarded
Judge Yates by the people of DIR.
Wiley's precinct, and the banner was
turned over to him.

A singular race for which only
women were allowed to compete, was

arranged a few days ago in the sub
urbs of this city. The distance to be
run was about five English miles, and
the prizes offered were a gold watch
and chain, a silver watch and chain,
gold bracelets and sums of money.
Twenty-seven women were entered
for the race and one was started every
FIVE minutes. Thousands of persons
lined the streets and roads, greeting
the competitors with ironical cheers.
The police had much trouble in keep
ing the course clear and to preserve
order. Agents at different points con-

IN VENGEFUL MOOD.
An Injured Woman Who Couldnss
Find Punishment Severe Enough
for Her

The woman stepped inside the sta
ton house loo and stood looking
around the room. 1t was a pleasant
morning, the windows were open, adj
hitting a refreshing breeze, and the
trees in front cast a cooling shade
over the front of the building. The
place seemed more like the COM
Portable Office of a wayslde inn than
a city police station. The official be-
hind the desk took off his cap and
bowed, for the lady was not such as
he vas wont to receive there. She
came over within conventional con-
yersation distance and bowed slightly
to the official, says the Washington
Star.
"This is the police station house,
isn't it?" she inquired.
'Yes, madam" replied the officer.
"This is where they bring prisoners
when they arrest them, isn't it?"
Eyes, madam"
"Do you keep them here until you
, are through with them?"
"Oh, no; we lock them up in h
cell ROOM"
Indeed! May I see that?"
Certainly, madam" ano the polite
official, bowling, escorted his strange
visitor through the heavy door into
the cell room.
1t was empty and still and clean,
and the fresh air of the morning had
got in and made it most attractive in
its cool cleanness. She looked around
for a minute or more.
D you shut the prisoners in those
iron cages?" she asked.
Eyes, madam"
"What do you feed them?"
"We don't feed them. We do not
keep them here long enough for that"
"Where do they sleep?"
ION the benches you see in the
cells"
"How do you punish them?"
"We don't punish them at all. That
is not our part of the business"
She looked surprised.
"Don't you put irons ON them, OIL
gag them, or douse them in ice water
or put them in straightJackets, or tie
them up by the thumbs, % whip then
with a cat-and-nine-tails, or shut then
in a dark room, or something ikt
that?"
Certainly not, madam, ana IL wa
the officials turn to be surprised.
That is all" she said, and started
for the other room again. Once there
she stood by the desk again.

tatively, rather than didactically
"who comes home about five nights

REFUSE TO ALTER CLAIMS.
Both Sides i'm Kentucky Continue to
Claim the Election.

Claim the EAectAOn.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 9.-Democratic
and republican headquarters here are
practically deserted. Those of the
party leaders still in the city refuse
to alter their claims, the democrats
placing Beckham's plurality close to
5000 and their republicans pinning
their faith on the official count. which
begins in each county to-day. This
official count, the republicans assert,
will bring to the front hundreds of
ballots not yet reported. The unre-
ported vote Of Casey county, which is
practically conceded to the repub-
licans, and one missing precinct il,
Metcalf county, claimed by the re
publicans by So plurality, are expect
ed by headquarters clerks to-day, but
they can have no effect OF the result
as the figures now stand.
Briefly, the democrats say their
candidate for governor stands elected
The republicans say if their candi-
date, Mr.. Yerkes, is beaten, it was
done by unfair means

A SERIOUS OVERSIGHT.
A County Clerks Neglect CoHpla-

Lexington, KY, Nov. 9.-The can
vassing of the returns of Tuesdays
election is likely to cause trouble in
various ways. The county clerk neg
elected to furnish to election officers
duplicate forms for certifying the re-
turns. Thus it happens that in several
precincts the only official certificate
of the vote is locked up in the ballot
boxes. which, under the law, can not
be opened for six months 1t is pos
sible the whole vote of the county
may be affected. A mandamns has
been granted directing the opening OF
one of the boxes. The board of cleo
ton commissioners meets to eonyass
the vote to-day.

He Wanted to Pay the Parson More
But the Rnles and Regulations

THE first charge 1 ever held was in a
small ,itown. in the western part Of the
state, said a well-known minister, who
was IN a reminiscent mood. 'The town
was not very large, and my congregation
was very poor. and unable to contribute
much toward the support of minister, so
they made up what they lacked in cash by
holding donation parties now and then dur

they paid, says the Detroit Free Press.

had was called a pound donation party, at
