THE SILENT SEARCHERS.
HENRY RIPLEY DoRR.

When the darkness Of night has fallen,
And the birds are fast asleep,
An army Of silent searchers
From the dusky shadows creep;
And over the quiet medows,
Or amid the waving trees,
They wander about with their tiny lamps
That flash in the evening breeze.
And this army Of silent searchers,
Each with his flickering light,
Wanders about till the morning
Has driven away the night.
What treasures they may be seeking
No man upon earth can know;
Perhaps tis the home Of the fairies,
Who lived in the long ago.
For an ancient legend tells us
That once, when the fairy king
Had summoned his merry minstrcls
At the royal feast to sing,
The moon. high over the tree tops.
With the stars, refused to shine,
And an army with tiny torches
Was called from the oak and pine.
And when. by the imps of darkness,
The fairies were chased away,
The army began its searching
At the close OF a dreary day.
Through all the years that have followed,
The seekers have searched the night,
Piercing the gloom Of the darkness
With the fash Of their magic light.
Ruld you see the magical army?
Then come to porch with me.
Yonder, among the hedges,
Aud near to the maple tree,
Over the fields of clover,
And down in the river damp,
The fire. flies search till the morning,
Each with his Pickering lamp.

DID NOT SALUTE THE NEGRO
EXPERIENCE OF A BIRMINGHAM (ALA.
BOY WHO KILLED A NEGRO
LIEUTENANT.

Birmingham (Ala.) Ledger.
1t remained for a Birmingham boy
t0 demonstrate to a negro officer in
the Philippines that white soldier
was not compelled under the laws Of
white supremacy to salute him.
"Nick" Hickman, son OF Daniel B.
Hickman, the well-known clerk in
the county treasurer's office, and a
brother of Ped Hickman, the cclebra.
ted wheelman, killed negro lieuten-
ant some weeks since in Manila.
Hickman will suffer no penalty as a
consequence.
lie belongs to Company G, Twenty
first United States Infantry. He.
with the other soldiers of the Twenty
first, had been acting as a provost
guard ia and about Manila for some
time.
A few weeks since, as Hickman,
according to letter he wrote to his
parents, was walking to the military
postofiice, he saw the negro lieuten-
ant, who belonged to another regiment,
passing by. TO avoid saluting him
Hickman glanced away, and as the
negro approached failed to cover the
eye nearest to the commanding officer
with his hand and keep it there until
the commissioned officer returned the
salute, according to regulations of the
United States army.
The fact that Hickman pretended
not to see him nettled the lieutenant,
and he sought revenge He contrived
to meet the soldier again, and when
he did so and he failed again to salute,
he asked him why he did not give
him the salute his commission entitled
him to. Hickman told him in effect
that he was a Southern man and that
Southern men were not in the habit
of saluting negroes.
The officer mathematical the sol
dier and slapped him. Hickman then
drew a revolver and shot him twice
The negro died soon after.
Hickman was, of course, placed
! under arrest and given a general
court.martial. He was acquitted o.
the charges and specifications ant
| restored to his duty as a soldier.

The Mormon missionaries who are
going about the country preaching
their expurgaled doctrine, which is
in that form really an oflshot OF
Christianity, are being shot, lynched,
tarred and feathered, ridden on rails
and chased out Of the country, ac-
cording to the temper of the people
they are laboring among. The Sal
walton Army had to fight for ten years
to get the right to hold meetings on
the streets without being stoned by a
mob or arrested by the police. Only
ten years ago, over million men in
this country were banded together by
solemn oath to boycott every member

WHEN THE HEART IS HEAVY.

Worry kills. 1t wears upon the
brain as dropping water wears away
stone. The habit must be killed by
eternal vigilence. resolution and good
sense. Worry, like bad air or an OBJ
noxious person, must be driven out,
and the best way to drive either out
is by the introduction OF the good.
You can all your mind with comfort
ing. calming thoughts, leaving nc
room for the harasing ones. You can
food out the enemy, just as by pour
| ing a stream Of clear water into a
tumbler filled with discolored liquid
you can soon force out the muddy
contents of the glass and leave it
filed with liquid crystal. Don't let
events depress you. Maintain your
equilibrium, and let mind rule matter
and good sense Judge events. The
emotional nature is always watching
for a chance to exploit itself. Keep
it in reserve, ready for every touch of
human feeling, responsive to good
ness, honor, cheerfulness and all
healthy feeling, but do not allow it to
tinge your understanding or in any
way affect your sane view of business
or the affairs of life. Check express
sion when bitter or somber feeling has
the best of you. TO say how sad or
perplexed you feel when your
heart sinks for the moment deepens
your inward troubles, and at the same
time spreads it to outside people.
You would not spread disease; do not
spread mental distress. Your des.
ponding words, bursting impulsively
from full heart in the presence of a
friend, add to the burdens of another
human being-one, perhaps, already
weighed down by cares and anXieties.
TO so speak is to allow yourself to be
ovcrbornc by "things" ruled by the
natural course Of the world. You can
not rule the world, 1t is true, but you
have the power to rule your part Of
! it-that is, yourself. Don't hate and
don't wary. This is the advice given
by Il hale and bcnetcent old man to
those who asked him for the secret OF
length of days. He might have added,
don't get angry.-Ada G. Sweet, in
the Woman's Home Companion.

what kind Of labor it is, SO that 1t is
labor, either physical or mental. The
boy who will take a bnck-saw and
earn something with it rather than
be idle is entitled to the respect Of all
good people and may be expected
some day to fill higher places OF trust
and honor. 1t is worse disgrace to
be idle than to be a Uot-black.n

HOW BRYAN TALKS TO RE.
PUBLICANS.

Republicans, you must assume the
responsibility for the making OF the
treaty and for everything that has
happened since that treaty was rati.
fled. 1t was a Republican President
who appointed the commission that
made the treaty, and the treaty was
made according to the advice OF the
President. 1t might have given indc.
pendence to the Filipnos when it did
to the Cubans.
But l will say that if the Republi-
can party will not assume the re.
sponsibility for the ratification Of lie
treaty will do it myself. | favored
the ratification of the treaty. WAS
not a Senator and did not have a vote.
| do not know that my ,oic. changed
one single vote, but l am willing to
waive all that, and ! am willing to
assume the responsibility for the rati.
ficati0n of the treaty.
When you accepted the treaty it
ended the war, aud ! believed then,
and still believe, that this nation,
acting alone. could do by itself every
thing that il could have forced from
Spain, | favored the ratification Of
the treaty, not because il was good,
but because it was easier to see it's
mistakes 10y legislation than by di-
plomacy. Lincoln, in appealing to
the South iG his first inaugural ad-
dress, said: Can aliens make treaties
easier than friends can make laws?
Was it easier TO make the treaty with
Spain, give independence to the Fill
pinus, than 1T was to give them indie
pendcnce 10y act of our own people?
preferred to let the American peOpl
give independence to the Filipino
rather than ask an unfriendly peopl
to do so.
When you hear Republican sa
that am responsible for the ratitic;
tion Of the treaty | want you to liste
and see If he adds that l also favOre
Il resolution promising independent
to the Filipinos. You will listen /
vain. The Republican who charge
me with helping to ratify that treat
is not honest enough to tell you a
the same time that | favored a resolu
tion that would have prevented blood
shed in the Philippines and made then
our friends instead of our enemies.
If the Bacon resolution had passed
we would not have war today in the
PHILIPPINES. Republicans, you arc re-
sponsible for the defeat Of the Bacon
resolution. 1t was your Vice Presi-
dent who cast the deciding vote, and
from that day you have never prom.
ised independence to the Filipinos,
and you, who prevented the prom.
ise of independence, are reSposible for
the conditions that now exist.
You Republicans are very much
afraid of a ffty.cent dollar, but
you are not afraid of the So per cent
citizen that you have made IN Puerto
Rico You are very much afraid that
we cannot maintain the parity be-
tween gold and silver, but you do not
worry about the difficulty Of main
tanning the parity between the citl-
zens here and the citizens in Puerto
Rico and the PhiliDncs.

ion In too many instances, you play

loud, and shout, but very many hide

many church members. Open cohabi.
tation is boisterously and malciuusly
