All me, full many a year has flown
Two decades if a day
Since first l saw that face and /
Alas! am growing gray
And bald; and yet, as dense and dark
AS then, its crown of hair
Surmounts that face which shows no trace
OF trouble, time, nor care.
No cruel crows feet mark the eyes
l gaze upon thro' specs"
And 10! the smile, the self-same smile,
That countepance bedecks
That met my rowing glance lang syne,
The cheeks are dimpled still,
The teeth intact, o it's a fact.
Times conquests here are nil!
Here naughts surrendered to the years,
Nor 1.-THE nor tribute paid;
My best beloveds early bloom
Long years ago did fade;
And still untouched by time see
While / grow old and sad
That smiling face in its Old place
On a cosmetic ad.

She is a charming widow, pretty. bright

of her husband was great loss to her, but
she bore up under it. After the funeral
and a general packing up of things she re-
turned to her old home. The day after
she arrived there she was met on the

Ethil Calkins, a child of about H. was
waiting at the station to take a train
to her home in Georgia, when a traveller
put nickel in the slot of a music machine
in the main waiting room.
The air it then played was the inter-
mezzo from .tCavellera Rusticaua."
Ethel, attracted by the music, stood 81
lently by until the machine stopped; then,
opened violin case and took from 1t a

strains of the great intermezzo fioated
through the crowded waiting room. Peo-
pie gathered and stood entrauced as the
child played When the last note was
dying out such a shout of applause went
up as was never before heard in the NAM

When importuned to continue Ethel re-

MacArthur's Surprise Party.

Alexander Macarthur, author of a sue
cessful study of life in the Latin quarter
of Paris, which brought to the writer bot h
popularity and profit, is also the pupil and
biographer of Rubinstein and is a close
friend of Pawerewski, says the Philadel-
phia Post. The author lived for two
years in st. Petersburg, corresponding for
the London press, and taking part in some
thrilling adventures, but the most singular
of the writer's experiences happened in
Chicago after the novel had been brought
out by publisher of that city. The book
had been so successful that the publisher
decided to give the author dinner TO
which dozen of the leading men of let
tiers in the Lake City were invited The
guests had assembled when the author
was announced.

appeared a handsome young woman at

BEEF RAISING IN FLORIDA.

That the South should rival the West
in the production of beef cattle is the
opinion of MIR. Timothy L. Miller, former
ly of Illinois and now of Florida, after
having studied the conditions in both
sections. For many years previous to his
removal to Florida Mr. Miller was engage
ed in cattle breeding in his native state,
which business he conducted successful
~. His opinion, therefore is that of one
who knows what he is talking about
from experience as well as observation.
The climate, water and feed OF Florida,
he says, are capable of producing the
finest quality of beef Between the Chat
tahoochee river and Pensacola there are
millions of acres of land, Mr.. Miller says.
that may be made the finest cattle ranges
in the world, and these acres stocked with
Hereford cattle to their capacity to fur
nish feed would be equal in every way to
an equal number of acres in Illinois or
elsewhere. Experiments which Mr.. Mil
Ter has so far made in Florida show that
the beeves are finished to the top of the
market" Mr.. Miller thinks highly of
cassava as a feed for cattle, and says it
lies to the people of Florida. By using
cassava two months in the winter and
letting the stock feed on the native grass
during the remaining eight months of the
year, the best results are obtained.
What this gentleman says of conditions
in Northern Florida is, generally speak
ing, true also of South Georgia. In eli
mate, water, topography and products the
two sections are practically the same. In
each state there are thousands of acres of
land, now idle, which might be turned
into cattle ranges. On these lands there
would be no need for shelters for the
stock The winters are short and mild,
and the grass crop is almost continuous.
Losses of herds from billiards. would be
unknown, and dangerous floods are ex-
tremely rare. With cassava and cotton
seed meal to put the finish on the stock
for market Florida and South Georgia
ought to be able to compete successfully
with the West in beef raising.

AN ARGUMENT FOR THE SHIP SUB
SIDY BILL.


1t is being advanced as an argument
for the Hanna-Peyne ship subsidy BILL
that if the bill becomes law three steam'
ship lines will be established between this
country and South American countries.
1t is a fact that this country has
very small share of the trade OF South
America. 1t furnishes them with only
about 10 per cent. of their imports, which
amount to more than 500, 900, 900 annually.
But would il benefit this country greatly
in the matter of trade if it had three
steamship lines to South American coun-
tries? 1t is doubtful if it would. This
country could have a far greater share Of
the South American trade than 1t has if
it would do as the European countries
do, namely, cater to that trade. Our
merchants do not make the right kind or
an effort to get it. They refuse
to recognize its demands. In the first
place our manufacturers refuse to manu-
facture just the kind of goods that are
wanted in South America, and, in the sec
ond place, our merchants refuse to put up
goods in the kinds of packages that are ac-
ceptable to the South Americans
The South American states are not well
supplied with railroads. Goods have to
be transported in to the interior on the
backs of mules. The goods have to be
packed for that kind of. transportation.
The merchants of Europe recognize that
fact, and they take care that goods are
packed for such transportation.
There is no good reason why this cOun-
try should not have the bulk of the South
American trade even under present condi-
lions. If our merchants were to send
agents there and make a study of the
wants of that trade, and then should en-
deavor to meet these wants, there would
be no difficulty in competing successfully
with the merchants of Europe.
Steamship lines to South America would
undoubtedly be of benefit to this country,
but they would not enable us to capture
the trade of the South American states.
To get that trade we must do exactly
what the merchants of Europe are doing,
namely, send to the South Americans the
kind of goods they want, put up in the
sort of packages which meet the demands
of their system of transportation. When
our merchants consent to comply with
the trade conditions existing in the South
American states they will have no trouble
in getting the bulk of the trade of those
states.

THE WATTERSON-BEIM COR
RESPONDENCE

The correspondence between Henry
Watterson and August Belmont re-
specting the position of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad in the Kentucky
campaign last fall, is. of course, a feature
of the present trouble in that state but it
is a question whether there is sufficient in
terest in 1t to justify the spreading of
column and half of it before newspaper
readers throughout the country. The two
points in the letter of Mr.. Watterson that
are likely to attract considerable attention
are his complaint that two newspapers in
Kentucky, that, in his opinion,
were in the pay of the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad, were nag
ging the Courier-Journal and making the
situation for it rather unpleasant, and the
statement OF Mr.. Watterson that under
the operation of the Goebel law the result
is not left to chance" The presumption
is that the result referred to was the
pending election.
OF course nobody knows how well in
formed Mr.. Watterson was as to the plans
of Mr.. Goebel and his advisers. There is
no doubt, however, that Mr.. Watterson
would not have written so positively
about the result if he had not been sat
istied that there was no chance for the
Republicans to win the election. He
seems to have settled ii in his own mind
that II was the purpose of Mr. Goebel to
have the office of Governor whether elect
ed to it or not.
In view of what has taken place since
the letter was written 1t would be of in
terest to have Mr.. WAtterson state on
what he based his assertion that under
the Goebel law the result is not left TO
chance" He was a supporter of Mr..
Goe bel, but it is a question if he was In
the confidence of the Goebel faction If
he was, it is rather remarkable that he
should have made such an admission to
Mr.. Belmont who, as was well under
stood, was an enemy of Mr. Goebers.
The more reasonable supposition is that
Mr.. Watterson knew nothing about the
purposes of Mr.. Goebel, and was not justl-
/ fed in asserting that it was his intention
to have the Office of Governor under any
and all circumstances. He simply stated
what his belief was. though he did not
| put it in a way to convey the impression
that he was not stating fact.
If this letter of his had been published
al the time the Legislature was investi-
eating the question as TO whether Goebel
or Taylor was elected Governor. 1t is
probable the he would have been called
| to testify as to what he knew to substan-
| tiate his assertion that the result of the
election was not left to chance.

Senator Tillman win soon have an OPP
portunity for using his pitchfork, with
good effect upon the tariff and the trusts
II is said the Senate's Naval Committee
is preparing to fix the price 10 be paid
for armor plate at $545 per ton, the sum
demanded by the manufacturers. 1t is
further said that the fifteen armor plate
manufacturing concerns in the world are
upon the point of entering into a trust so
that they may be able to dictate prices
to all the governments. In view of the
enormous profits made by the Carnegie
Company, there are strong grounds for
saying the price demanded is excessive.
1t was Senator Tillman who succeeded in
a former Congress in having the price
TO be paid for armor plate fixed at $500
per ton, and it is quite sure that he will
not see a jump from that figure TO $545
per ton made without entering a charac~
terisically vigorous protest
