Third Amendment.

Jefferson City. Mo-. Feb. 6--By
a vote If ~ to 9, the senate to-day
passed the joint and concurrent res.
olution submitting to the qualified
voters the proposition To repeal the
the third constitutional amendment
taxing mortgages adopted at the
November election. The question
was debated in the senate for sew
eral hours. Senator Marshall, Of
Scott county, is the author Of the
bill asking for resubmisSion. Biggs
of Audraiu, Martin If Saline aud
Clay of st. Francois opposed the
measure. on the ground that the
people had passed the amendment.
aud that il had carried by over
$4,000 majority. Statements were
also made that IN case the amend.
nent stood as IL is ut present no
additional interest would he charg.
ed borrowers Of money by lenders.
bat that lenders would lie compelled
to pay taxes on the which
they received ~ security.
Almost every senator in favor Of
resubmission spoke on the subject.
Costello Of DcKalb. Drabelle Of 81.
Louis. Walker Of ST. Charles aud
Haynes Of Buchanan spoke at con.
siderable length. The argument
advanced for resubmission was that
the people had not given the matter
sufficient attention. and that out Of
almost 100000 votes in the state.
considerably less than 900, 900 cast
a vote either for or against the

The little s year.old daughter OF

a horrible accident upon Wednesday

suited Thursday. The hours which

rible agony by the child who had

of the store buildings in Grand
Pass. She was standing near the
stove. her mother having left the

less innocent in her arms, she ran
to a porch, screaming for help. but
the breeze Of the open air only i'm.
parted lite to the flames.

from her body almost entirely, one
side Of her form being a mere crisp.
Recovery was impossible, yet the

was terrible.

Come, pledge me, Love; and let
the draught be deep,
The Night for Music and the Day for Sleep.
To morrow? Nay that leads
to dusty DEATH
Then laugh tonight, tomorrow
We must weep"
With sudden touch of seriousness
Fitzgerald declares:
The Revelations Of Devout and Learn'd
Who rose before Us, and as Prophets burn'd,
Are all bot Stories, which,
awoke from Sleep,
They told their comrades, and
to Sleep return'd."
To express the same idea the new
translator writee:
" The grave philosophers, who seek to teach,
And wild enthusiasts, who
fain would preach
OF Gods mysterious purpose, know it all.
Did not to Heaven the Tower
Of Babel reaeh?"
In a defiant. yet proud admission Of
his slavery to wine and with prioceIy ex.
travagance OF expression. Fitzgerald
says:
All, with the Grape my fading
Lie provide,
And wash the Body whence
the Life has died,
And lay me, shrouded IN the living Leaf,
BY some not unfrequented Garden side!"
A decided contrast is the Ieaden indif-
ference Of the later version:
II can not live without the ruby wine,
Vitality itself comes from the Vine;
Without its tonic could never bear
My heavy load On earth, nor
aid with thine"

When a man dies nowadays the first
thing they ask is: "Was he insured
and for how much?" The papers also
generally wind up the obituary with the
amount Of insurance. Soon Obituary
notices will read something like this:
"Peter Jones died and left a wife ana
two children. Loss fully covered by
insurance." Or If the deceased i2 nor
insured, it will read about as follows:

The Rubaiyat of Mira Mem'n.

The Rubaiyat of Mira Mem'n.
Sincerity is the measure Of greatness
and inheres only in large natures. To
get away from their own individuality,
to view life impartially. is faculty pos.
seseed by few. The truly great must
clan blots out his own personality and
becomes simply an interpreter of the
great masters. In the presence of q
great painting one lie conscious Of neither
art nor artist. but sees only the subject
itself, surrounded by its own peculiar
atmosphere.
Most OF all in the translator is perfect
sincerity indispensable. For the mo-
ment he must be one with the author,
living that authors life, thinking his
thoughts, and moved by the same emo.
tons.
In the Fitzgerald translation OF the
Rubsiyat Of Omar Khayyam, the spirit
Of the original Rubsiyat has been pre-.
served. Whimsicslly and persistently
Fitzgerald carries his fantastic theory
through hundred and one verses, re.
minding one in his April changes from
seriousness to humor, OF an impetuous
child. Everywhere there Is rich, orient.
al coloring. with here and there elints
OF barbaric splendor.
"The Rubaiyst of Mira Mem'n" has
recently been issued from the press of
Henry Olendorf Shepard. With numer
Gus illustrations, shut between covers
OF artistic coloripg, the fact still remains
that this lie translation of tints. faded
and pale when compared With the tropi.
cal richness Of the earlier translation.
There is an impression of pure mental
ity. OF spirit free from earth. chains
and endowed with supernatural vigor, in
the work OF Fitzgerald; while in the
new translation the spirit struggles With
heshly limitations, and lacks the buoy
ancy and elasticity which recall Shelley.
The verses creep where they should fly.
Cold. colorless statements and heavy
metaphors take the place of the intense,
living figures flung out by Fitzgerald.
Few are unfamiliar with this verse OF
Fitzgersld's:
"A Book of Verses underneath the Bouob.
A Jug Of Wine, Loaf of Bread Tho,,
Beside me singing IN the Wilderness
Oh, wilderness were Paradise enow!o
In the latter translation the parallel
verse is this:
witt Omar's Poem, Oriental Pearl
of mine,
The Palm slow dripping for Us
fragrant wine,
The 'nectared mangusteen'
hung at our bps,
And thy low singing: ali,
'twould be divine :"
Again Fitzgerald cries, impuIsiveIy:
All, my Beloved, fill the cup that clears
10 day OF past Regrets and future Fears:
10 monow!-Why, To morrow NAV be
Myself with Yesterdays Sewn
thousand Years.
For some we loved, the loveliest
and the best
hat from his vintage rolling
Time hath prest.
Have drunk their Cop Round
or two before,
And one BY one erept silently to rest"
The corresponding verses in the new
version are:
