THE TRUTH THAT LIVES.


The jewel fades the purple pa1es,
The sceptre falls, the throne Ger
aurned,
The temple t%otters, the light fails,
Ash lies where hot the embers
burned,
The cheek we kissed is clay and cold,
And listless the life-lighted eye,
For only Truth lives and is old,
All else is false, all else must die.
Comes down from depths of the dim
past
To us the self-same story told,
'Tis now. twas then, twill be at last,
When stars are dim and suns are
cold,
We live. love, inger, and decay,
The voice of ages heaves the cry:
Truth lives alone beyond the day,
All else is false, all else must die.
Truth, subtle messenger Of Time,
That tells the soul imbreathed in
Man,
That springs from Hope and Faith
sublime,
That teaches Purpose, Plot and
Whose winged whispers float in air.,
That speaks in Earth and Sea and
Sky,
OF the Something that lives Some
where,
That lives and loves and will not dis

SOME PRAIRIE BREEzEs.
WE HAVE STRUCK.

SESS$fSGEEGAW SlAs&SSS7S&StE
Dear Uncle Sam, l pray you now
Repeal the war stamp tax,
That we may breathe free men again
And vigilance relax,
For now each time we turn around
We're apt to get in jail. ~
Unless we stick a stamp somewhere,
Lord help us IF we fail!
Whenever we draw a check we must
Lick stamps. the law so saith,
Indeed we re called to lick one most
Each time we draw our breath,
1T Isn't paying for the stamps
That makes us fret and rage,
It's getting our ailmentaries
Sc full of mucilage
The nation for a hundred years
Has been democracy,
But grounded well are peoples fears
OF aristocracy,
For since the stamp tax came about
So muchEof glue we sup
We are no longer humble men
We're getting SO stuck up.
We roam about with sombre face
And cheeks all pale and wan,
Just looking for some vacant place
10 SUCK a TAX stamp on,
Our fences lie in ruins quite,
Untrimmed and dull our lamps,
We haven't time to fix them, we're
So busy sticking stamps.
We've left off family prayers at home,
And now each blessed day,
We gather round the old hearth stone
And read through Schedule "A
So many, many ways there are
To get inEjail you see,
It's by eternal vigilance
We keep our liberty.
Our arteries are clogged and full,
Our blood will not pass through,
We've licked so many pesky stamps
It's all stuck up with glue.
The age of stone, the age of steel,
Are taught us by the sage, :
But by the grace of thy stamp tax
This is the mucilage.
With cold we cough, we wheeze, we
sneeze, @$s
In seasons chill and damp,
But cannot buy cough syrup till
We cough up a tax stamp, &
We may not stick a plaster on
Our backs, for so tbs writ,
Unless before we stick it there
We stick a stamp on it.
We stick and stick and stick and stick
Until stack we've stuck,
Our stock of sticks is running low,
And now, by gosh, we've struck.
And if we may not have this plan
Of sticking stamps revamped,
Well fly into some distant land
Where we may die unstamped. I.

Kentucky Election Board sustains tho
Democrats.
FRANKFORT Feb. 27.-The state con-
test board yesterday awarded certifi-
Gates of election to all of the demo-
cratic contestants for minor offices.
Immediately afterward the contest
ants were sworn in and repaired to the
state house in a body, where they
made formal demand upon the re-
publican incumbents for possession of
the Offices, but the demands were not
acceded to. The democratic contest
tants sworn in are: Secretary Of State
Hill, Attorney General Breckin-
ridge, Auditor Coulter, Treasurer
Hager, Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction .McChesney. Clerk
of the Court of Appeals Shaclxelford
administered the oath of office to all
the contestants for offices other than
governor and acknowledgement.
The principal grounds set out in the
report for the finding in favor of the
democratic contestants are: Because
OF military interference in Louisville,
on account of which the election there
should be thrown out entirely; the
alleged illegal actionof Judge Toney
in granting an injunction allowing
Brown inspectors inside the polls, and
also that Judge Evans Of the federal
court contributed to the result by a
threatening charge to the United
States grand jury.

Navy Department Makes Good Its Title
to Disputed Possessions.
( WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Ameri-

island or on Cagayan island. Spain
has been demanding that these islands
be returned tot it. The war department.
was ready to make the return, and so
was the state dedartment. The navy
department was, However, unwilling
to surrender anything it had taken,
and has made its title good to the is
lands. The state department will in
form Spain that the islands are the
property of the United States and will
hold them. Sibitu was saved to. the
United States by the discovery of an
old treaty between Spain, Great Brit
ain and Germany, which specifically
says that Borneo's holding shall not
extend farther than three miles from
the coast of Borneo Sibuta is on the
opposite side Of the channel separating
Borneo from the sulu archipelago. AS
to Cagayan island the records show
that it was at one time used as a penal
colony by Spain, and the latter is
therefore stopped from denying that
it was used as a part of the Phil
ippine group. -

Ready to Receive Roberts when He Gets
Through With Cronje.
+ LONDON, Feb. ~. The Beers are as
sembling an army near Bloemfontein
to dispute the invasion of Lord Rob-
erts. This intelligence comes from
Pretoria by way of Lorenzo Marquee.
The commanders are described as
'shastening from all quarters of the
two republics. No estimate is made
of their numbers, but the withdrawal
of the Beers from most of the places
where they have been in contact with
the British in the district near Lady
smith may raise the resisting force to
80, 900 men. This figure assumes that
the Beers have had between 60, coo and
7o,o 600 men in the field. The gather
ing of this army across the. path of
Lord Roberts gives significance to
General Cronje's steadfast defense.
lie has engaged the corps Of Lord Rob-
erts for ten days now, and whether he
is relieved or not, he has given time
for the dispersed Boer fractions to get
together and to prepare positions to
receive the British advance when Cen
eral Cronje is overcome and Lord Rob.

CANNOT ESCAPE.

British Authorities Believe Cronje VIII
Surely BE Crushed.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-Since 3s15 o'clock
yesterday afternoon nothing has been
received from the scene of what the
London papers call General Cronie's
death struggle. They stated that they
believed it impossible for Cronje to
escape from the grip of Lord Roberts.
The report circulated in Berlin that
.Cronje had succeeded in making his
escape came from the Boer head
quarters in Brussels, where it was
stated that details were still lacking.
The only newsfrom the other parts of
the seat of war received during the
night is q special dispatch from Colen

the British, inspite of strong oppose

will be the firstseity in the west to
have an automobile factory. And not

project only awaits the action of the
patent Office at Washington on claims
that are now before it. That the ac-

will be favorable to the inventor is
lot to be questioned, for the parts Of
vehicle Oh which he asks patents are
entirely different from any now in use
by other makers of automobiles.
