My Nose Wasn't Made for Glasses

Is an expression with which we are of ten greeted by prospective customers Before they leave us we usually con vince them that the question ot whether they can wear nose glass rests more on the opticians ability, than in noses In complicated eye de- fects we sometimes advise the use ot spectdcles instead of nose glasses, and there are, too, some noses on which It is impossible to fit glasses, but they are raritieS WITH US.

EDWIN MARKHAM's POEM on LIN
coin.
Copyright. 1900. by Edwin M'

Copyright, 1900. by Edwin Msrkham)
When the Norn.Moiher saw the Whirlwind Hour.
Greatening and darkening It hurried on,
She bent the strenuous Heavens and came down
To make man 10 meet the mortal need
She took the tried clay Of the common read
Clay warm vet with the genial heat OF Earth,
Dashed through il all strain Of prophecy
Then mixed laughter with the serious stuff
II was stuff 20 wear for centuries,
A man that matched the mountains and compelled
The stars to look way and honor us.
The color Of the ground was In him. the red earth.
The tang and odor Of the primal things
The rectftutle and patience OF the rocks;
The riadness Of the wind that shakes the corn;
The courage Of the bird that dares the sea;
The Justice ~ the fain that loves all leaves;
The pity Of the snow that hides all scars;
The loving kindness Of the wayside we'll;
The tolerance and equity Of light
That gives as freely TO the shrinking weed
As to the great oak faring TO the wind
To the graves low hill to the Mauerhorn
That shoulders out the sky.
And so he came.
From prairie cabin to Capitol
One fair Ideal led chieftain on
Foreverinore he burned TO do his deed
With the fine stroke and gesture of a King.
He tntilt the rail pile as he built the State,
Pouring his splendid strength through every blow,
The conscience Of him testing every stroke,
To make his deed the measure OF man.
So came the CAPTAIN with the mighty heart;
And when the step Of Earthquake shook the house,
wrenchina the rafters from their ancient hold.
He held the ridgenole mp and spiked again
The rafters of the Home. He held his place
Held the long purpose like growing tree
Held on through blame and faitered not at praise
And when he fell in whrlwind. he went down
A. when a kindly cedar green with houghs
Goes down with great shout upon the hills.

Senator Jones Introduces Resolution on
5:i. the Kruse Case. 5
WAsH1NaToN, April 8. Soon after
the senate convened Mr.. Jones (Ark.
offered the following resolution, which
was adopted: s 4. s$s: is.:.
That the secretary Of the treasury
be directed to transmit to the senate q
ttatement of the action Of the treasury
department. in the case Of George Kruse,
q resident Of Porto Rico, alleged to have
been brought to New York to labor in
the United States, together with all
copies Of all CORES dence in the case,
and that he be further directed to in
form the senate what steps, if any, have
been taken to prosecute for violating
the alien labor law, the person, firm or
corporation entering into contract with
said Kruse. # Ss5 S9
Mr.. Chandler asked that the resolu-
tion respecting the case Of Mr.. Quay be
laid before the senate. No senator was
prepared to proceed with the discussion
of the case and Mr.. Chandler consented
that it should go over. He gave notice,
however, that he should expect senators
who desired to speak on the subject to
be prepared and that he probably would
ask that a time be fixed for vote.
Considerable of the Indian appropri-
alton bill was resumed.

Military Authorities Had No Hand in the
Executions at Ponce.
# WASHINGTON, April beyond the
mere announcement that five criminals
We're to be executed ait Ponce for murder
and outrage, General Davis, the COVER
nor Of Porto Rico, has made no repre-
sentations to the war department. on
this subject. The officials here are
somewhat concerned about the situa-
ton, mainly because Of the method
chosen for the execution Of these GRIM
inals- the garrote. But it is explained
that neither for the enforcement Of the
death penalty nor for the repnlsive
method Of, execution are the American
military authorities responsible. These
are the results Of the continuance
in the island Of the Spanish legal
methods, according to the official char
acter. The men who were arrested by
Porto Rican officials were tried by Porto
Rican judges under Porto Rican laws,
and the method Of execution also was
prescribed by the law and custom Of the
island. There is, however, a marked in
disposition to take any official action
that will tend to excite the latent jeal-
ousy of the islanders over any encroach-
ment by the national government upon
their cherished customs and laws; hence
the hesitancy to act in the present in
stance by committing the sentence of
the criminals. 5

AUSTIN, Tex, April At noon q
slice of % feet deep and 500 feet long
was washed out Of the immense granite
dam here, injuring the power house, all
within 10 minutes. The torrent of
water swept down the lower part Of the
city, sweeping fully 100 houses away
with all their contents. The occupants
barely escaped with their lives. Tele-.
graph wires having been swept down,
runners were dispatched down the river
on horses to notify the people living be-
low the city, but the water beat them
and some eight or ten parties are known
to have been drowned. Thousands
of people assembled at the dam,
and the crowd resulted in pushing
10 men onto the sand bank just below
the dam, which gave way with them,
and they were precipitated into the.
river and swept away on the raging tor
rent. Over 100 houses have been count
ed passing here since 10 o'clock, and it
is feared that reports from above here
will bring news of much loss OF life and
property. The water continues to rise
and is now two feet above the flood OF
last spring, the river being one mile
wide here, having risen 80 feet within
eight hours. The loss by the breaking
of the dam is at least half a million
dollars

Strike Will Be Declared OFF Next
Thursday. &
P1TTsBURG, April 9. The executive
committee of the United Mine Workers
has called convention of the miners
of the Pittsburg district for next Thurs
day, when it is expected that formal
action viii be taken to terminate the
present strike. It is belief of the Off
cials of the union that by the time the
convention meets the miners all will be
back at work, but the convention is
considered necessary in order that dele
gates from each mine may hear explain
ations direct from the officials in regard
to the disputed points in the new scale.
About 5000 out of the $4,000 miners in
the district are still on strike. The
miners and operators Id the Irwin
district have agreed upon a scale and
all will return to work Monday. The
new scale affects 5000 men who have
been out 10 days.

RIOT N j: PORTO RICo.


Police Seemed nowerless TO Cope with
the Mob. 3J 4
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 9.-At A
o'clock the natives made concentrated
movement at Porto Tiera. Different
mobs, totalling about 1000 men, at
tackled the foreign colored men. Any.
;English-speaking negro was subject to
attack, particularly the natives Of st.
Thomas and st. Kits. One Porto Rican
was killed, one was seriously injured
and three negroes of st. Kits were
dangerously wounded.
The affair was the outcome of the
pier strike, and the pretense Of the att
tack, apparently was that the English
islanders were usurping Porto Rican
labor. The islanders anticipated trouble
and some Of them were armed with re-
volvers. q. @ n
A company Of infantry under Captain
Alexander and Lieutenants Ansel and
Parker was called out, martial law was
declared, soldiers now patrol the streets
and the rum shops were closed. The
mere presence Of the soldiers dispersed
the crowds.
There were no demonstrations after
the arrival Of the troops. The condition
of affairs necessitates the presence of
troops. The municipal police are utterly
inadequate to preserve order and handle
the crowd. They stood by during the
riot as spectators and made no attempt
to interfere. ....l %S
