WHILE THE HEART BEATS YOUNG.

The fairest. rarcst morning OF the blossom time

While youths diyiner climate folds and holds
us, close caressed,
As we feel our mothers with us by the touch Of
face and breast;
Our bare feet In the meadows and our fancies up
among
The airy clouds OF mornng-wlile the heart beats
young!
While the heart beats young and our pulses leap
and dance,
With every day holiday and life glad 70.

Williamsport, Pa, May S.-Mrs.
Robert Sherer was burned so bad
ly near Oregon Hill yesterday at
ternoon, in an effort to safe her
son, that she died several hours
later.
The people Of the village had
turned out en- masse about MOON to
fight forest fires, which threatened
valuable property. The tire-fighters
included even the women and child
rem, as the danger was so great.
About 3 o'clock strong wind
suddenly arose, and the villagers
put forth strenuous efforts to stay
| the flames and prevent them from
spreading further. The men OF the
party plunged far into the burning
woods, and the 7.year.old Sherer
boy was observed to follow them.
His mother was told OF the oc-
currence and size started alter the
lad. The women caught sight OF
the lad Just as the flames appeared
to SURROUND him.

clothing caught fire. The wind
tanned it into II lame that enveloped
her entire body.
She ran brayely on, despite her
excruclating pain, until completely
exhausted. Finally she tell, and
with her last strength commanded
the boy TO continue the flight. The
lad escaped, and his cries sum-
moned his father and elder brothers

had not approached, Mrs, sherer

A BOOST FOR DEWEY,

The New York Herald agrees with Ad-
miral Dewey that the Office of President
is not such a difficult one to fill, and takes
the position that the ADMIRAL has all
the qualifications necessary to fill it sat
isfactorially But does it not seem re-
markable that there should be such q
misunderstanding on the part of the New
York World, the paper in which the Ad-
miral made the announcement of his can
didacy of the Admirals position on the
most important public questions? For in
stance. the World says that he repre-
sents anti McKinleyism, anti militia rism
and anti-imperialism." The Herald says
that he is in favor of retaining and de-
veloping the Philippines. of building the
Nicaragua canal and a great navy, and of
increasing the army to one hundred thous-
and men. Clearly, the Admiral ought not
to delay the statement as to his position
on public questions any longer than he
can possible help. Here are two proml-
nent papers which are making contra
dictory statements respecting the Ad-
miral's position on questions which are
now dividing the people
If the newspapers begin to discuss the
Admirals candidacy seriously, they may
succeed in giving some life to it, While
the Heralds article can hardly be called
an Endorsement of him, it is attracting
attention. 1t is pretty certain that all
of those in the Democratic organiza ton
who are dissatisfied with Mr.. Bryan. or
who think it is impossible to elect him,
could be easily brought together in sup
port of the Admiral. There may not be
enough of them to influence the Demo-
cratic National Convention, though il is
impossible to say what proportions a
movement in favor of the Admiral might
reach if some of the Eastern papers We're
to make a determined effort to help it
along.

Judge James Fitzgerald of the New York
Supreme Court is an excellent example OF
what perseverance and singleness of pur-
pose will accomplish, says the Philadel-
phia Post. The Judge, who is about 4C
years old, supported not only himself but
helped his family while serving as a cash
boy in a store, and at night he attended
Cooper Union. Later he read law at night
and managed to be admitted to the bar
at the same age that most young men
begin practice. The Judge has had more
than fair sailing, though,> since he be
came a lawyer. He is a powerful man
physically, ruddy, and as active as a lynx
To his native Irish wit is added a power
of speech that nearly approaches elo-
quence. He soon took a prominent part
in politics and was for years a member
of the Legislature.
Several years ago he was appointed an
additional assistant district attorney al
the comfortable salary of $500 the year
Before taking office he married and went
on a prolonged wedding trip. When he
returned a months pay was due him and
he went to the office for it. During his
honeymoon he had Travelled over a good
part of this country. and as his funds
were low he went direct from the train
to the office.
Here is your money, counsellor" said
the pay clerk, deferentially after his kind
'All right" replied Mr. Fitzgerald, peck
citing the roll of bills.
Sign the pay roll, please" continued
the clerk.
"Of course responded the bridegroom
and, absentmindedly. he wrote as follows
James Fitzgerald and wife"
And the entry is on the city books tc
this day.

The statement is made that the cotton
acreage this year in Texas, Oklahoma and
the Indian territory will be smaller than 1t
has been in years The reason of this is
that the farmers sowed very large acre
age in wheat before the great rise in the
price of cotton took place. They canaot
now. therefore. increase their cotton
acreage Wheat fields are as common in
a very large section Of Texas as they are
in Missouri or Iowa
The opinion ia Texas appears TO be that
under the very best conditions the state
cotton crop will not be more than 100000
bales. That being the case the cotton crop
this year will hardly be a phenomenal one,
Notwithstanding the fact that in all of the
other cotton producing states there is
very considerable increase in the cotton
acreage.
If this years crop should not be an ex-
ceptonally large one, it is safe to predict
that the price of cotton will be very satis-
factory to cotton growers next fall The
demand for cotton goods continues strong
so strong, in fact. that most of the mills
in this country now have orders sufficient
TO keep them busy for six months or mare.
If the price of-cotton should remain nigh,
and the yield per acre should be up TO the
average, the South would be in a more
prosperous condition than ii has bean at
any time since the close of the war of Sc
cession. Even now there is a degree of
prosperity that is attracting very general
attention. The number of cotton mills be
ing built with home capital indicates that
there is a great deal of money seeking in
vestment If this year should prove TO be
as prosperous one as it is now thought
il will be-that is, here in the South-there
will not be as much room for Northern
capital as there has been in the Southern
states Indeed, it is doubtful if Southern
capitalists will not be able to furnish all
the money needed in the South at rates as
low as it could be obtained in the North.
The fact that Texas will not have very
large cotton crop, no matter how favora
Bile the conditions may be, is calculated to
give cotton growers of the other states a
very comfortable feeling. A million and
half or even a million less in the number
of bales will have a very noticeable effect
on the price of cotton. But the farmers of
Texas will not have much reason to regret
that they were not able to pant larger
acreage in cotton. Their wheat, corn and
cattle are yielding them very satisfactory
profits, so that they will be about as well
off as if they had planted more cotton.

Washington is now full of tourists, the
vanguard of the Easter rush. and all OF
them are eager for information. They
have boundless curiosity, and are deter
mined to be astGnished at nothing. The
glazing sign attracted the attention of
hordes of them, and they stopped in front
of it and argued about it.
Il am perfectly sure" said one matron,
with a convoy of daughters, that that
policeman we asked told US this was the
White House.
He must have been wrong, mamma
insisted a daughter, for 1 am sure they
wouldn't press. trousers at the White
House, and they certainly wouldn't call
them pants This must be a big tailor
ing establishment. All buildings in Wash
ington are white, you know"
or, perhaps" suggested another, 'it is
the White House and they have let out
part of it to a tailor I'm sure the Presi-
dent can't want all that big building for
a residence"
This was regarded as a good explana-
ton. and the party passed en-. New tiocks
of tourists arrived and were successfully
astonished for about an hour, when a
lazy-looking colored youth arose from a
comfortable nook, where he had been
summing himself and, doing, shouldered
the big placard, and trudged on to his
employers shop.

Gen. Miles Joke.

Gen. Miles is quite a "kidder," says an
ex-army officer quoted by the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, and he likes to
have fun with new reporters. I remem-
Der some years ago he told an unfortu-
nate Washington correspondent a long
story about a new gun metal that some
genius in Oklahoma or Kalamazoo was
supposed to have just discovered II was
a wonderful alloy which was as tough as
steel and as light az aluminium. BY its
use, the General said it would be possi-
BILE to build guns which would weigh no
more than the immense projectiles which
they fired. The correspondent was de-
lighted, and went off and wrote beau
tiful article, which produced spasms of
laughter throughout the entire artillery
service. You see, it doesn't require a very
profound knowledge of ballistics to know
that if a gun and projectiie both weigh
exactly the same amount they would fly
in opposite directions with exactly the
same velocity when the piece was fired. e"

PATTIsON A CANDIDATE.

There is a chance of course that ex-
Gov. Pattison of Philadelphia will be
selected as Mr. Bryan's running mate
He was mentioned for President in 1896
and might have stood a chance for the
nomination if Mr.. Bryan had not swept
the convention off its feet. He is a pop
ular man, though nobody seems to know
why he is. He does not possess conspie-
uous ability in any direction, but he can
be depended upon 90 do the right thing
pretty nearly every time He made an ex-
celent Governor of Pennsylvania If he
were placed on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan
he would strengthen it, because it is
known that he is a Gold Democrat, though
he supported Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago
platform in 1896
Several men have been suggested for
the Democratic vice presidential nomina-
ton. but 1t seems to us that the most
available one Of them is ex-Gov. Pattison.
Admiral Schley is popular, but his popu-
larty is not the kind that gets votes. Mr..
Towne has a great deal OF strength in
the Northwest, but he Is as strong a sill
verite as Mr. Bryan. From the vote-get-
ting standpoint Mr. Pattison would
strengthen the ticket more than any other
one Of the candidates yet named
