"UNTIL THE DAY LAX"

A human soul went forth into the night,
Shutting behind it Deaths mysterious
door,
And shaking off with strange, resistIess
might
The dust that once it wore.
So swift its fight, so suddenly it sped
AS when by skillful hand bow is bent.
The arrow flies-those watching round the
bed
Marked not the way it went.
Heavy with grief their aching. tear-dimmed
eyes
Saw but the shadow fall, and knew not
when
Or in what fair or unfamiliar guise,
1t left the world OF men.
1t broke from sickness, that with iron
bands
Had bound it fast for many a grievous
day,
And Love itself with it's restraining hands
Might not its course delay.
Space could not hold it back with fetter-
ing bars,
Time lost it's power, and ceased at last
to be;
It swept beyond the boundary of the stars,
And touched eternity.
Out from the house OF mourning falntIy III
1t passed upon its journey all alone;
So far not even Thought could follow it
Into those realms unknown.
Through the clear silence of the moonless
dark
Leaving no footprint on the road 1t trod,
Straight as an arrow cleaving to its mark
The soul went home to God.
"Alas.' they cried, "he never saw the
morn,
But fell asleep outwearied with the
strife;"
Nay, rather, he arose and met the Dawn
OF Everlasting Life.

Very handsome is a high collar that

Some of the new slippers have toes
daintily decorated with hand-painted
designs. Others have a trifle of rich
embroidery on the toe and lace and

rather the more modish. Very chic is

Slippers are cut as low as possible to

so fashionable.
A favorite combination for a street

drop skirt on a gown of this sort is
prettily made in a series of narrow
pointed panels dividing about a foot
from the bottom. These are separated
by fine cross-stitching of cream anc

the same manner. On the foundation
skirt is circular hounce of the cloth

full, and throws out the pointed panels
in pretty fashion. On the bodice is &

THE WAR TAXES.
Transparent Scheme of Republican
Triclxsters to Rob the
People,

The republicans in congress evil
IDENTIFY intend to make a little reduc-
tion of the war taxation go a good
way. The republican Platform prom
ised the people a reduction, but re-
publican platforms are often made to
get in on, not to stand on.
The house of representatives has
passed bill which makes a slight re-
duction, but even this Disappointing
ly small reduction is held up in sem
ate committee, from which it seems
unlikely to emerge. Meantime, the
cost of the operations in the Philip
pines continues at figure which
must eat up heavy slice of the war
taxes.
In addition, the scale of national eX-
penditure is evidently to be lavish.
Bills to enlarge the army. to enlarge
the navy, to increase the pension list,
to grant civil pension. to grant big
subsidies, and to Improve" rivers and
harbors everywhere, are the order of
the day. Congressman talk in billions
nowadays. The other day a promi-
nent congressman declared that a
river and harbor bill appropriating
$100,O00,000 could easily be passed at
the present session, and he wondered
at the congressional moderation.
No Ding-ey tariff will provide for
any such amount of expenditures.
The Dinglev tariff scheme was on the
point of collapsing when the Spanish
war of 1898 enabled the republican
party to impose war taxes and cum
ningly cover up the failure. By all
indications prosperity" and "expan-
sion" are to be the synonyms, during
Mr.. McKin.ey's second term. for a
wastefulness and corruption not
equaled since the second term of
Grant. The republicans are in full
power, and Hanna is in the saddle

THE PRESIDENTS DOUBLE.
DIR. BuEbee, of New York, Calls ON the
Occupant of the White
House.

DR.. Luther Hazard Bugbee, of New
York, the other day called upon Pres
ident Mckinley at the white house.
The object of his visit was to show
the president the striking resemblance
between the two. For many years
DR.. Bugbee has been mistaken for
the president. This resemblance was
noticed even while President McKin-
ley was in congress. 1t at last be-
came a matter of so much comment
that DR.. Bugbee decided to visit Pres
ident Mckinley and acquaint him
with the fact that he had a double.
A profile view of DR.. Bugbee and the
president would not be wanting in
any detail of similarity. DR.. Bugbee
explained that a number of persons
had spoken to him, believing he was
the president. He said:
81 wouldn't wear silk hat in
Washington for anything. I guess I
look more like the presidents photo
graphs than like the president him
self. l have been mistaken for the
president many years, even while he
was in congress. In 1896 I had to go
to Chicago on business. 1t was just
after the president had been NOM
mated. Many people approached me
and offered to vote for me. [ took it
all good naturedly for some time.
Finally, a big policeman came up to
me one day just as 1 was about ready
to catch a street car. Mr.. Mckinley
he said, in the most respectful man
ner, pardon me, but we are all going
TO vote for YOU"

Latest Fad I'm Fashions

Among barbarous nations the prac-
tice of staining the skin for decorative
purposes has always been found, and
tom in its use of rouge and india ink.
A decided novelty, however, the very
latest" in fashions caprices, is to paint
trails of flowers on the front of evening
bodices, and continue the tendrils or
sprays on the skin of the chest. The

as a sleeve is similarly treated. and the

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.

THE ABUSE OF TIE NAILS.
Annual Report of Third Assistant.
I'ost masser-cemersl Edwin
a.. Maddea.

Washington. Nov. 26.-Third As
sistant General Edwin Z.
Madden. in his annual report, recom-
mends the consolidation Of third aud
fourth class mail matter, an IN
crease OF the limit of indemnity for
the loss of registered matter from
$40 TO 500. and that postal employees
be made liable for the value OF reg
istered matter lost through their
carelessness.
The total postal revenues for the
year. from all sources. were SUI
63l.l93. being S3.923.sss less than the
expenditures.
This is exclusive of the cost OF
transporting the mails over the suhsi-
died Pacific railroads that have not
vet settled their bonded accounts
with the government. The total value
OF stamped paper and stamp books IS
sued during the year was slO4,'>5,s,'.
The issue of passage stamp books IS
regarded as a successful experiment.
The 4.69s.425 stamp books issued
have cost the department s4.69 per
thousand 10 manufacture. There were
65s.6 500 postal cards issued.
The amount of second class matter
mailed free OF postage to actual sub
scribcrs within the county OF puhli-
cation constitutes practically seven
per cent OF the entire amount
mailed.
Mr.. Madden says il is but ques-
tion OF time. ii the rate of increase of
second class matter continues, before
il will consume most, if not all. or
the revenues derived from other
classes Of mail matter.
While second class mail matter,
combined with its necessary equip
mcnt. constitutes approximately two
thirds Of the combined weight of all
the four classes of mail matter, II fur
nishes only slightly over four per
cent. Of the revenue from all posta~es.
About fifty per cent. Of this nominal
and unsustaining rate. Mr.. Madden
SAYS. is due to a construction Of the
statutes which has permitted the adj
mission Of great number of alleged
newspapers and periodicals which are
merely pretensions.
The principal abuses of the pound
rate named by the report are sample
