THE TRAILING LRBUrU s.

Oh, the days, the arbutus days
They come from heaven on high;
They wrap the world In brooding haze,
They marry earth and and sky.
What lures me onward DER the hills,
Or down the beaten trail?
Vague murmuring all the valley fills,
And yonder shouts the quail.
Like mother bird upon her nest
The day broods DER the earth;
Fresh hope and life fill every breast;
share the springs new birth.
Awake arise and, April-wise
Seek out a forest side,
Where, under wreaths of withered leaves
The shy, sweet flowers hide.
The bloodroot's face, with sanity grace,
Stars all the unkempt way;
Upon the rocks, in dancing hocks,
Corydalis is gay
The hemlock trees hum in the breeze,
The swallows on the wing;
In forest aisles are genial smiles
That greet thy blossoming.
Again the sun is over all.
Again the robins evening call
Or early morning lay;
hear the stir about the farms,
| see the earth with open arms,
feel the breath OF May.

MKINLEY NAMES DEMOCRATS.
Possible Wedge For Southern White Man s
Republican Party.

President Mckinley did his part in the
launching of the new white mans Repnb-
lcan party of the South when he ap-
pointed John g. Capers, of South Caro-
lima. to be United States District Attor-
ney.
The appointment followed that OF W.
&. Chaifee TO be postmaster at Aiken, ;.
C.. which was made on Saturday over
colored Republican worker named
Dickinson. who was recommended 10y
Mr. Webster, Republican national com
mitteeman from South Carolina. The
Significance lies in the fact that the Presi
dent is cutting loose from the old Repub-
lican leaders in the South; that both OF
these new ofliceholders are Gold Demo-
Gratis and that their appointment at this
time is deemed politically necessary in
connection with the speech to be made
by Senator McLaurin at Charlotte on
April lS. when he will start his boom ON
expansion lines. Mr.. Capers' appoint
ment was made at the request Of ofSenator
McI.aurin. who is still classed asa Demo o.
crat and whose activity in leading the
new party is expected to begin politi-
cal revolution in the South.
In addition To the old Gold Democrats
who have refused to support Bryan.
there is n younger generation. with new
ideas and new ambitions in politics, who
have become Indirectly associated with
the Republican Administration. Mr..
Capers claims to be n representative OF
the latter class Of Southern Democrats.
Senator Hanna believes the South can
be brought to support the Republican
party.
Mr.. Capers il at present an Assistant
AttOrney-Ge in the Department OF
Justice and is engaged in the settlement
of Southern war claims in the Court of
Claims lie was appointed to his pre-
sent position during the last Cleveland
administration. while Mr. Olney was At
torney-General. When Mckinley was
elected he was retained.
The appointment of Mr.. Capers will
create a sensation among Southern Re
publcans. Mr. Lathrop, the present
United States District Attorney OF South
Carolina, was appointed by President
Mckinley upon the recommendation OF
National Committeeman Webster, who
is now again ignored.

Some time later l learned that one of these families so remem bered by me was so impoverish- ed that the only way in which the wife could cook that turkey was by cutting slices from it and tcasting or roas ing them over fire of chips Had thought for a moment. it would have occurred to me that people so poor az to be unable to buy food would also be ,a4able to obtain fuel. Yet. l never once thought of that. Washington Star
