The dreary death time OF the year has come;
Ger the gray earth hangs low the leaden sky,
The river runs more slowly to its goal,
And sentinel trees keep moaning watch close by.
The piercing wind shakes here and there a leaf
Left clinging to a bough in lone despair,
While its companions softly drift to earth
And find their grave, or float again In air.
The harvests all are gathered from the fields.
And they In rugged desolation wal.
For kindly Natures coverlet OF snow,
To hide with softened curves their barren state.
Anon the rain falls drearily and cold.
And as We shiver in mute sympathy
Our tears fall too; for youth and hope are lost
Our darkened lives seem but a ceaseless sigh.
Let winter take the sceptre now and reign,
For he in turn must yield 1t to the Spring.
Who brings to earth glad warmth. and thrilling
life
OF trees and flowers. and birds on joyous wing.
Thus in these changing seasons we may read
A counterpart OF what cur lives must be.
Let US remembe through our darkest days
The sun still shines. though dim eyes cannot see.

Si-Lang. Here are situated the western
tombs Of the present Manchu dynasty.
Former dynasties have been content with
one set Of tombs. but the present imperial
lot wanted a pair. which are known as the
eastern and the western. Tung Chr the
Emperor before the present one. had the
sad fortune 10 die OF smallpox. OF course.
there are no board-of-health regulations In
China to interfere with the burial OF an
imperial body. nor even to prevent the
keeping of the remains above ground as
long as may be wished. Yet. for some
reason. the court decided that q special
set of tombs must be had for Tung. When
a tomb is wanted in China and wanted for
a parsonage of importance, the
must be consulted. Strange as it may seem,
there is everything in insuring luck to the
departed spirit. There is something called
"feng-shi," a very fat lot of occult innu-.
ences which control the selection of a tomb
site and provide for or against the future
comfort of the departed spirit. Before the
imperial family got through with the cal
culations of these geomancers it cost the
former a sum of about $780, 900 for the bene-
fit of the latter. The western tombs were
the result of this calculation.
1t was the work of the French detach-
ment officially to desecrate these tombs.
Just what the French idea of dissertation
Is l can explain-it wouldn't look well in
print. But the work Of dissertation was
very thoroughly done-according to the
French idea. Filth and indecency are very
mild words to use in this connection. For
fear the Chinese in that neighborhood
might be aroused to another uprising, a
considerable guard of French soldiers was
left at Si-Lang. ready at a moments no.
tice to RAE the tombs. 1t is really a pity
that that French guard at the tombs can't
be wiped outi r. w. AYMAR.

THE JOURNALS E
Morning and Evening.


"a Song of the Afternoon.)
I sing not now as 1 have sung
In many a former day,
When skies were fair and hearts were young
And evening far away.
But still to me the mornings song
Repeats its vernal joy.
And happy faces round me throng
AS when I was a boy.
The song sings in the longing soul.
But falls not on the ear;
Each sainted face. at thoughts control,
Through many a vanished year,
And past the graveyard's doubt and gloom,
Comes smiling into view.
And youth is sweet with morning bloom
xAnd love is lord anew.
And so the heart again beats high,
The rapture and the glenn
Hang misty splendors in the sky
And glorify the stream.
Thus I relive the olden days
And join them to THE new,
And joys OF youth, down sylvan ways,
With present hope pursue.
Say net. "'Tis but an idle dream.
A foolish sirens songr'
I know the wood. / know the stream,
I know the childish throng.
I hear the manifold. sweet sounds
OF echo murmured joys,
And tread the old, familiar rounds
With winsone girls and boys.
And though i know the grasses grow,
Through changing sun and shade,
Where these I loved so long ago
BY tender hands were laid,
Their past is mine, as mine was theirs.
And mine the cherished thought
That all our pleasures. hopes and cares
And youthful dreams, rewrought
BY loves long magic, as they glow
On mem'ry's pictured wall.
But bid the spirit wiser grow
For love and hope and all
That make each better day the best
The wild'ring soul has known,
And present pleasures doubly blest
Through pleasures that have flown.
So I relive the olden days
And join them to the new.
And ancient good, through modern ways
And present bliss renew.

The Galveston disaster is without a
parallel in the United States. The Hous-
ton Post publishes list of over 400 peo-
pie who are known to have lost their lives
during the inundation and tornado, and
Mayor Jones and other prominent men
now in the state estimate the number who
persisted at not less than 6000. The prop
erty loss is not less than $20,O0O,00O, and
may be twice that figure. Mayor Jones
says that $1,000, 900 is needed to make the
city oelf-supporting, and 100000 could
be used TO advantage. Clara Barton,
the president Of the Red Cross society, who
has seen so much of the sufferings from
war, pestilence and great disasters. says it
would be difficult to exaggerate the awful
scenes which meet the visitors eyes, and
that the loss of life will probably exceed
any estimate that has been made. The
end Of the island first struck by the storm
was swept clean of every vestige of the
residences which covered 1t, and the ruin
is enclosed by towering wall of debris
under which many bodies are buried.
Over 2OOO men are employed in clearing
the streets and in searching for the dead.
The catastrophe which over whelmed the
city of Johnstown, Pa, in May, 1889, was
the most disastrous to human life in 1.-THE
history of the United States before Gal
weston was destroyed. Most people sup
pose that 5000 persisted at Johnstown, but
the records show that PAP lives were lost,
and property valued at S1O,OOO,OO des-
troyed. The greatest disaster of modern
times was the flood from the Yellow river
in China in 1887. Three thousand viii
lagos were destroyed, and the "best in
formed European in Pekin" estim ated the
loss of life at 100000. while no estimate
was less than 100000. In 1876 a tidal
wave OVERLOOKED the island of Deccan-
Shahbezpore, in the Bay of Bengal, drown
ing 100000 people.

Says But Little About she Paramount
Issue---ReIteratss Bis Dsmsn nd for Free
Coinage.
Mr.. Bryan's letter of acceptance, made
public Monday, deals briefly with the varl-
Gus blanks of the Kansas City platform eX-
cept those on Imperialism, militarism and
the Boer war, which were covered IN MS
speech of acceptance. Perhaps the part
most interesting is that relating to the cur
rency question. He reiterates his old stand
in favor of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of l6 to and leaves no doubt that he
will work to bring about that condition.
He resorts to his favorite method OF always
mingling accusation against the Repuo-
lican party's position with declaration OF
his own stand, and charges the opposition
with change Of front and hypocrisy on the
money question. He reiterates his decis-
ion of.1S96 TO accept no second term II
elected, and discusses in somewhat OF de-
tail the trust, labor, and foreign relations
problems. 80 ,S9
Trusts he would remedy by the enforce
ment of existing laws and by legislation
prohibiting a monopoly TO operate in
state outside its home. He thinks con-
stitutional amendment is not necessary TO
accomplish this result, but If 1t is he favors
such an amendment. The rights OF labor
and arbitration are urged, while govern
ment by injunction and the blacklist are
condemned. He advocates the construc-
ton and ownership OF the Nicaragua canal
by this government, liberal pensions, state
hood TO New Mexico, Arizona and Okla
homa, and territorial form of govern
ment for Alaska and Porto Rico. The
Monroe doctrine should be sturdily main
taiued, and he defends his argument that
it should prevail in the Philippines. The
income tax is again favored, and the letter
closes with brief paragraph declaring i'm
perialism the paramount issue.

WILD WEST ROBBERY,
Quechee StOrekeeper Bound, Gagged

Masked Robbers, Dressed as Cowboys,

Fired when sheriff Attempted TO Ar

A burglary Of the regulation Wild West
type was committed at Quechee Tuesday
night Scott Tinkham, postmaster and
proprietor Of tle general store, was about
to close his store for the night, when two
masked men entered, in full view of any
body who might be passing Covering Mr..
Tinkham with revolvers they ordered him
to pull down the curtains, and he obeyed.
Tinkham did not throw up his hands when
first ordered to do so, and bis apparent re-
fusal to surrender led one Of the robbers to
say: Scott, you are the coolest propo-
sition we have been up against for some
time
Turning down the light the men seized
Tinkham and dragged him into the post
office part of his store and gagged aud
bound him to a chair. They rihed his
pockets and the safe, taking all the money
in sight, amounting to about 5000, and also
took his gold watch. They said they want
ed no part of the governments money and
left the post-office funds untouched. They
then told Mr.. Tinkham that if he stirred

at the end of that time his wife would come
TO release him. They went to their horses,
which we're outside, and escaped on horse
back.
Tinkham managed to free himself soon.
He Uelephoned to Sheriff Thomas at Wood
stock that the men had gone towards that
town on the north side of the river. Thorn
as secured a team and a driver and came
down the river at once aud came upon the
men about a mile and a half from Wood
stock. With revolver in hand he seized
the bride of the advance horse and his
companion followed suit with the other.
The burglars at once began firing and a
bullet went through Deputy Sheriff Thorn
ass lantern globe and overcoat. 1t grazed
his breast and was found in his pocket.
Both 81 les exhau ted their ammunition and
then the burglars fled.
They left their horses and il has since
been learned that the animals had been
hired, together with a carriage, from a liv-
cry stable in Rutland some time ago. The
hunt will go on and every effort will be
made to capture the men.
The men posed as cowboys. They wore
broad brimmed hats, flannel shirts and
leather leggins.

BOsrs LoO,InE and Burning.

The arrivalof the British at Komatipoort,
on the eastern boundary of the Transvaal,
after the town had been looted and burned
by the Beers, and the reported heavy fight
ing there, will excite keen interest iu view
of the possible share the Portuguese may
be compelled to take in the events 1t al
ready is reported that Boer "snipersn have
killed and wounded Portuguese troops,
which fact if true will make it easy for her
to help Great Britain if she is so inclined.
Reports from British sources represent the
Boer mercenaries operating in the vicinity
of komatipoort as uncontrolled marauders
who are recklessly destroying and footing,
apparently without reference to the main
object of the war. Five hundred Boer
refugees, among them many wounded, are
reported TO have arrived at Lorenzo Mar
quez. Former President Kruger will not
leave Lorenzo Marquee on the German
steamer Herzog, but has accepted the offer
of the Netherlands government to 90 to
Europe on board Dutch warship. Among
the crop of rumors sent out this morning is
one to the effect that Gen. Vilioen, who
succeeded Gen. Botha as commander-in-
chief of the Boer army, is DESTROYS of sur
rendering.

r,I,pinos United states soldiers.

Native Macabebe scouts have been in
the employ of the United States for more
than a year and have done good work
Permission has recently been given TO
Major Allen of the 43i regiment, on Samar
Island, to organize two companies OF Wis
ayans for use against the insurgents. The
Visayans are the most numerous Of the
Philippine tribes They number $780,
600, while the Tagalogs, represented by
Aguinaldo. number only 100000. In
northern Luzon the Ilocanos show warm
interest in Americans. Last December
900 of them desired TO enlist under our
flag. Permission was not granted, but
they were employed as guides, road-build
ers, and ration carriers, and kept under
observation. In July so of them were en-
rolled as scouts. These were drilled and
put into active service, where they dis
played both courage and obedience. They
will not pilfer or loot. In chasing down
ladrones and brigands, in threading
swamps and jungles, they are superior
even to our own soldiers. Having fierce
tribal hatred for the Tagalogs, they are al
ways eager to be sent against them. Con-
sidering the fact that the time approaches
for the volunteers to be mustered out,
these experiment, which demonstrate the
efficiency and reliability of native police,
greatly relieve the situation.

Form.r Keene Man,s Doubl. CrIms.

Frederick B. Clarke, a real estate man,
killed his wife and then committed suicide
at Chicago Tuesday. Business reverses
are supposed to have prompted the act.
Mr.. Clarke was the only son of Captain Ell
bridge Clarke of Keene, where he was born
March z, 1916. Late in the sixties he went
to Chicago and entered business for him
self, and in recent years had been heavy
dealer in real estate. Anticipating the Co
lumbar Exposition he built a mammoth
hotel in Chicago, which afterward became
Improbable on account of its location. He
had no children, so far as known, and his
wife was a western woman. He had ex-
perienced domestic infelicities, and for
some time did not live with his wife.
