!"MY HEART GOES ROUND I'll
WORLp SAILING"

Ny heart goes round the world sailing,
However the winds may blow,
And searches with tears from cline to
cline
For the love Of long ago:
Goes round the world, round the world
sailing,
With passion its pulse to thrill,
ali round the world, round the world sail
ing
In quest of the old love still.
My heart goes round the world sailing,
As ever in days gone by,
Did Fancy sail in her airy ship
To the realms where treasures lie;
Goes searching the cold world DER and DER,
Wherever fond wish may so,
And calls through the length OF desert
years
For what years cannot bestow.
Calls to the sen that's swept by storm
Till its billows roar with pain,
A9d calls to the Wind-yeXed mountain
height,
That frowns on the tranquil plain;
But never the sea gives back response
To the words that burn as fire,
And the mount uprears in silent sccrn
OF the dole Of vain desire.
Yet a-saIllng and a-Saling.
Through storm and through summer
shine,
Shall 90 my heart with fearless trust,
Till that Joy again IS mine;
All round the world, round the world sail
ing,
Till it faint at last with years,
And learn how Idle are human hopes,
And how unayailing tears.
Ny heart, around the world sailing,
Hoping and worshiping still,
Shall seek that love Of the olden time,
TIL death shall the dream fulfill;
All round the world. round the world sail
ing,
With patience that mocks at woe,
All round the world, round the world sail
Ing,
However the winds may blowI

Chapman spoke on the topic,
"The Nesting Season; Mating

"The theory that migration origi-

there can be no doubt that q return: is
made to the nesting place. In study

one must constantly bear in mind tina!
at that this time they are undergoing
a physiological regeneration which
affects every cell in theic bodies.

The Lost Child of Wyoming"


X VERY interesting monument
N is soon to be dedicated on q
NJ high knoll overlooking the
valley of the Mississineva
River, in Wabash County, Indiana.
An address will be delivered by the
Governor of the State, and many dis
tinguished people will be present.
| The monument marks the burial.place
of woman of singular and romantic
history-known as Frances Slocum
among the white people, and as White
Rose among the Iudians-who was
stolen from Quaker parents in the
Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania in
177S, and brought among the Indians
in the West. Her parents were JON
athan and Mary Slocum, of Connecti-
cut, who had moved to Wilkesbarre,
Pennsylvania, when that was small
frontier settlement. There, when
Frances was young girl, their dwell
ing was attacked by Delaware In
dians.
Two or three members Of the family
were killed, and little Frances was
carried away first to Ohio, and later
to Indiana and Michigan. Soon after
her capture her father was killed by
the Indians, but her mother, aided by
Frances's brothers and other white
men, made a persisten! search for
Frances. who became known in those
parts as the "lost child of Wyoming"
She was not found.
70. meantime the Indians had car
ried her far away, over mountains and
through forests. They treated her
kindly, giving her blankets to sleep
upon at night in beds Of leaves. AT
| length, too, they gave her horse to
ride, and dressed her in garments OF
buckskin, decorated with bright beads.
All this pleased her; she dried her
tears, and became happy in her new
life.
She was taught to fear and hate the
white men, and whenever she saw one
she ran away. None of the white men
who visited her tribe suspected, there
fore, that they had a white child among
them. She learned to shoot we'll with
the bow and arrow. When the Della,
wares had a war with the whites, she
was run off into the North with the
other women and children. She did
not lament this.

they are never seen without their feet
being protected. The reason given
for this is that in the streets, which

twenty bloodthirsty warriors.
The number was large for four men
to attack openly, so Grove and his

favorable opportunity offered greater
chances for victory. The opportunity
came on the night following. The In
dians camped near a fine spring. and,
feeling secure on the knowledge that
they were three days tragel from the

their guns against the trunk OF tree

Washington, Dec. 5.-Thc state de-

ters at Picking yesterday reached an
agreement which was submitted TO
the home offices. Secretary Hay yes
terday cabled Mr.. Conger authoriza-
ton to sign the agreement on be-
half of the United States govern
ment. 1t is difficult to gather de-
tails of the understanding at this
time. However. it is known that on
the two important issues that were
still open, namely, those relating to
punishment and indemnity, the view
of the United States government
has prevailed. AS to punishment
they are to be the severest that can
be inflicted by the Chinese govern
ment. AS to indemnity the Chinese
government is to formally aadmit it's
liability and then the matter is to
be left for future negotiation. 1t is
understood that on other points the
French proposition formed the basis
of the agreement.
