I've quit O. bein' a Christian, leastways
l have in part,
I've quit tn rule bout holdin' no mall
ice in yer heart,
An I'll tell We why I've quit it. Y'know
Slim Jinks and me
Hev been rowin' for twenty years or
more-we eve could agree,
Wal! The last row ct we fined in
was over a pasture fence,
1 could a. settled tn trouble with a
a of any sense,
But when he got to tellin' ct he guessed
he knew his land,
An calm Of me a liar-'twas more'n
I could stand.
So 1 guess I talked out plainer'n mebbe
l ought to had,
But my tongues a turble trial when
ever I git mad,
l lit into him right peart like-I called
him a thievin' fool
An lowed he must a. studied his
crookedness by rule,
l said he was so blamed crooked he
couldn't keep tn road,
An I sat for half an hour or so on my
market cart and blowed
That ornery rascal up until 1 got so
consumed mad
That / guess I talked out plainer'n
mebbe I ought to had.
I went ITO church las Sunday and heard
the p~reacher~say
That we ought to curb II anger and
aim to keep away
Firm feelin' hard an bitter. It come
right home to me,
1t teched me jes' tn right way. Says
L: "Ill go an see
Slim Jinks first thing tomorrer and
offer him my hand,
An tell him 1 don't feel bitter about
that cussed land,
Although tn aint no question but his
fence is on my field,
I'm willin' to call it quits now an let
the breach be healed.
l got to thinkin' it over while walkin'
down to Sims
l got to swearin' fer quite q spell, an
then I'd hum some hymns,
I met him on tn road an. so 1 says to
him, says L:
"Jinks, when " say that fence amt on
my land " know v lie,
Yer jes' nachelly a scoundrel, an this
amt TIL only case
When we've tried to skin me proper
ye've got right in yer face
The markin's of a sc~alawag-but damn
TIL cussed land,
I've come to call it quits with We, an
offer We my hand"
Then I got to thinkin' bout it an I
got madden still.
An says l again, says I: "Jinks, 1 amt
wishin' We no ill,
But l know We. for Jes' what We are
as crooked as an eel,
TIL biggest rogue that ever stepped on
feet-but / don't feel
No bitterness toward ye-don't We
raise yer hand like that
Or I'll knock We off that wagon
quicker'n woman can say scat.
I jes' come down to tell We that about
that cussed land
l don't feel harsh or bitter an to offer
We my hand"
So I stuck out my hand to him, for
givin' as could be,
An TIL cussed, Ornery, mean ongrate-
full never looked at me,
An never took my hand at all, jes'
turned and druv away,
An lef me sittin there an hOldin' out
my hand. Well, say,
I've quit bein' a Christian, an b'gosh
right here's my stand:
If Sim Jinks puts that pasture fence
ON one foot o. my land,
I'll offer him my hand again, an do 1t
tn next day,
He'll take it too-all doubled up-for
he won't git away.

LOST OPPORTUNITIES.

Sweet songs, half whispering to me in
the solitude,
OF sweeter melody they might have
sung,
And phantom flowers that scent for me
the leafy wood
With wraiths of the perfume they
might have flung.
Sweet faces smiling dimly though the
shadowy light,
Ghosts of the full perfection that had
shone,
Had not the sun sunk down ere it was
night
And left but shadows of the unful-
filled alone.

The prize, and yet in me are blent
All these, the while l am content.
Give me content, nor anything
Beside, uncrOwned 1 were Il king

Keep thou all these, for these all blent
Thou givest, when I have content.

Eager she heard, aud her distress be-
gliled,
Lighted her eyes, the Buddha's name
she blessed
And turned and sped fleet-footed on
her quest.
Sped on the years and yet she sought
in vain,
With eager voice inquired and sought
again,
But here a parent gone and here a son,
And here a daughter, always finding
Forever absent; still, with footsteps
She sped, to find some circle quite COM
plete.
Asked at each door with mutely plead
ing eyes
And hungry yearning for the ordered
prize
Despairing not, till worm with toll and
time,
With patience tireless and with hope
sublime,
Again the ,Buddha in her anguish
seeks,
sRecounts her journeys and her failure
speaks.
The Buddha softly, sadly speaks again:
Hast thou not learned thy search
would not be vain
Were there the power thou wouldst
have me declare.
Dost thou not e that Death is every
where
But in that circle of Eternity
That comes with only waiting pa
tiently."

TO DESTROY THE PALACE.
American Residents at Pekin Recommend
Drastic Measures.

Pekin, Aug. 26 (via Shanghai, Sept. p.
Ching Shin, Ma TuDg and Ching Ii,
members of the Tsung Ii yamen, are try
ing to negotiate with the generals of the
allied forces, through Sir Robert Hart, the
Director of the Chinese Imperial Customs,
in order to prevent the destruction of the
innermost palace of the Forbidden City
With the same object in view the Russians
have occupied the palace.
The resident Americans hope that the me-
gotiations will not succeed. They think that
the city ought to be completely destroy
ed, that Ma lung and Chung Ii should be
beheaded, since they formed part Of the
cabal which caused the murder of Baron
Won Ketteler and attempted to massacre
all foreigners, and that no leniecy what
ever should be shown, or else the next
generation of Cinnamon will repeat the
same crimes.
MANY residents of other nationalities are
moving into the American section in order
to be safe from the thieving that is going
on. Five miles to the westward of Pekin
the British forces have met 300 Boxers and
1000 regular Chinese troops. The latter
fed without shot and the Boxers follow
ed suit after losing seventy men.
Looting continues and Boxers concealed
in several different sections of the city still
keep up desultory fire. The streets are
picketed by the allied troops. The first

Ii HEARS
FROM BERLIN.
Chinese Minister Tele6raphS That Ger
many viii Follow Russia.
AGREEMENT TO PARTITION EMPIRE.
Landing of Japanese Troops at Annoy Due
To Alleged Understanding Between
Car and Emperor william.

Shanghai, Sept. 3.-A telegram received
by Ii Hung Chang from the Chinese min-
lister at Berlin on Friday states that Ger.
many is prepared to act in concert with
Russia with view to the settlement of the
China question. Russia having consented
to withdraw troops from the capital, Ger
many will probably follow suit.
While it is evident that the return of
the Emperor and court to Pekin is neces-
sary to enable final negotiations to pro-
ceed, and also that the existing situation
is fraught with serious danger there is no
reason to anticipate that the southern vice.
roys will have any great difficulty in per-
suading the Empress to return, provided
her personal inviolablity is guaranteed.
On the other hand it is absolutely GER
tain that a general Withdrawal of troops
would be followed by protracted pour
parlers, compromises and intrigues, such
as were foreshadowed by the appointment
of Ii Hung Chang as plenipotentiary.
This would be equivalent to a complete
surrender of the rights of civilization in
China, and likely would entail renewal
of disorder at no distant date Failure to
punish the guilty and exact satisfactory
guarantees for the future before the evacu-
alton of Pekin by the allied forces would
nullifv the results achieved and increase
hereafter a thousand fold the influence OF
the antiforeign party.
Chinese public opinion is freely express
ed, even by officials, to the effect that if
the reactionary leaders are not made to
suffer the extreme penalty, reorganization
aud reform would be alike impossible.
The explanation of the landing of the
japanese troops at Annoy, as generally ac'
cepted by local officials acquainted with
the nature of Ii Hung Chang's recent
negotiations, is that the japanese govern
ment obtained information that it had
been arranged at the suggestion of the
vlceroy for Russia and Germany to enter
into an agreement to take the lead in ne.
gotiations for final settlement, with the
view of obtaining the consent of the powers
to terms as satisfactory as possible to
the Chinese government, as heretofore
constituted including recognition OF the
heir designate.
China, on her part, was to agree to here
after cede Manchuria to Russia and make
considerable addition to German territory
in Shantung. In these negotiations LII
Hung Chang was acting as plenipotenti-
ary Japan, regarding this arrangement
az equivalent to declaration Of Partition,
landed troops at Annoy to emphasize her
claims in Foklen and Chekiang.

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
European Foreign Offices Discussing The
Ioint Proposal.

London, Sept. 9.-Though commuulca-
lions are passing between several Europe
an foreign offices, no agreement has yet
been reached. The German Government
las not, as stated in some quarters, re-
piled with flat negative to the evacuation
scheme. 1t should be remembered that
the Washington circular note which
brought the Russian proposition to the
formal notice of the allied cabinets invited
suggestion and information rather than an
immediate decision. 1t is probable that
Diplomacy will continue active for some
days, while the various governments en-
deavor to ascertain each Others views.
Germany has every motive to postpone
a definite answer as long as possible, since
every day that passes brings Count Won
Waldersee nearer to the scene of action.
There is no doubt that the manner in
which Russia bss taken the lead out Of the
Kaiser's hands is mortiIyIng to German
bride. But Germany owes hussla sollie
consideration in return for the Cars ac-
quiescence in the appointment of Won
Waldersee.
Nervous Russophobes here see in the
whole situation an elaborate plot against
British prestige in the far East. Russia,
they say, has squared Germany by allow
ing her to effect a partial reconciliation
with France, which has been the object of
the Kaiser's policy for years. In return
the two western military Powers are to
support Russia in settling the Chinese
question in her own way, which is not that
of England. Advantage has been cleverly
taken of American anxiety to avoid exten-
sve entanglements in China, in order to
induce the United States to support the
policy of withdrawal from Peking, which
must eventually end in stereotyping the
weakness in the Celestial Kingdom, to the
benefit chiefly Of China's powerful north
ern neighbor.

Bryan as demagogue is "a l." as
statesman he is "a o."
Beckham is undertaking to defend Goe.
belsm in Kentucky. The people of that
State will hardly support man tor Gov
ernor who defends such an Infamous ism.
The Fredericksburg Free Lance says :
"How to handle Mr.. Wellington is the
problem before the Republican chieftains."
What is the necessity of handling him,
they have already booted him.
Carl Schurz has been nothing but a po'
litical sorehead and critic for number Of
years. He is very egotistical and the
party which he supports is not to be con-
graduated. Mr. Bryan is welcome to Carl.
The Democrats have been unable so far
to find anything in the policy of the Ad'
ministration toward China that they can
criticise. They are anxiousiy awaiting
some action that they will be able to pro-
nounce blunder.
We frequently hear Democrats express
ing doubts as to the prosperity this coun.
try has been enjoying for the last two
years. Persons who express such doubts,
are either blinded by prejudice or cannot
see, hear or think.
One great party is supporting Mckinley,
while nearly dozen parties are support
ing Bryan. The fact that one party is
able to cope with and conquer such
number of adversaries combined, is strong
proof of the merit of the one party and its
candidate.
The Virginia Democrats say: "Hush !
Don't let's make an ssue Of that constltu-
tional convention. We may not be able
to fool the fellows enough to make them
vote with us this time, if they find out We
are going to take away their right to vote
before another national election"

Roosevelt did not. Which showed the
best taste
In speech at South Bend, Ind, on the
lst inst. W. ]. Bryan said: Republicans,
you want the flag to be feared, but | want
it to be loved" 1t is a strange way for
man to show bis love for a flag by en-
couraging its enemies to shoot at it, and to
say that he would haul down the flag be-
fore foe. That is the way William Jen-
nings Bryan has shown his love for the
''Stars and Stripes"
Poor old George d. Wise has said to a
reporter of the Richmond Times that Bry-
an will carry the State of New York.
George ought to know that even the Vir-
ginia Democracy, with its flexible election
law, could not steal New York for Bryan,
if it had charge of the election machinery
in that State. What the Virginia Democ-
racy could not do on that line will be im'
possible of accomplishment by Croker.

A Successful Enterprise.

On the 18th of January, 1900, we fur
nished our readers with what was pro-
nounced a very accurate pen picture OF the
splendid grocery and cold storage estab'
lishment of Buston u Sons. Those who
read our description and afterwards visit
ed the store, were more than satisfied that
we had not overdragn the beauty and
merits of the establishment.
When the Messrs. Buston moved into
their new store, about the 1st of last jan
uary, it was frequently remarked that
there was not only nothing like it in Vir-
ginia, but that it was too big for town
like Tazewell. In the face of such doubts
the enterprising owners went steadily on
with their work of perfecting their plans,
and now have attained point of CON-
pleteness that cannot be excelled any
where.
A very fine 12 horse power gasoline en-
zine has been placed in the basement,
which furnishes the power for running an
ice plant with cold storage, for running
five large ceiling fans and for pumping
water from 200 foot well.
An ice plant, with capacity OF six tons
daily, has been placed in the basement,
and is now turning out 1900 lbs. OF. ice
daily. 1t is the purpose of Buston q Sons
to increase the output as the demand in
creases. The quality of the ice is very su-
perior, is made from the town water, is
harder frozen than the ice that has been
brought here from other factories, and,
therefore, keeps better. The Messrs. Bus
ton declare their intention of giving to the
trade absolutely pure ice, and will spare
no trouble or expense in attaining that
end.
Water is pumped from we'll two hun
dred feet deep, and is used by the engine
and for cooling the condenser coils of the
ice plant and cold storage.
The cold storage is magnificent feature
of the establishment. 1t it divided into two
apartments or compartments, one being
used exclusively for cut meats and the
other for whole carcasses and quarters.
The temperature can be reduced consider
ably below the freezing point, and meats
preserved for several weeks.
The first floor, the main storeroom, Is
supplied with five large ceiling fans, that
are used very effectively for the double
purpose of cooling and driving flies from
the room. These fans are run by the en-
glne, and their usefulness has been fully
demonstrated.
AS we have before said the new enter
prise of Buston & Sons has proved com
plete success in detail, for the purposes for
which it was built. 1t has been also prov
en- that its founders were not mistaken II
their judgment with regard to the support
If would receive from the trade. Then
business has been constantly increasing
and will continue to increase, for the Bus
toms have wonderful faculty for know
ing what the public wants, and prepare
themselves to supply such wants. They
now have the most complete establish
ment in their line in Virginia, and ont
that cannot be excelled anywhere. Taze
well is justly proud of the enterprise.

land, is strongly opposed to Bryan IN this
campaign. In 1892 Judge McHugh was
among the most active workers for Mr..
Bryan in bis Congressional campaign.
