THE BELLE OF THB MOHAWK VALE
oh. sweet is the vale where the Mohawk
gently glides
On its clear winding way to the sea,
And dearer than all storied streams on
earth besides
Is this bright rolling river TO me;
But sweeter. dearer. yes. dearer far than
these.
Who charms where others all fail,
Is blue-eyed. honny, bonny Eloise.
The belle OF the Mohawk vale.
CHORUS.
But sweeter. dearer. yes. dearer far than
these.
Who charms where others all fail.
Is blue-eyed, bonny. bonny Eloise,
The belle Of the Mohawk vale.
Oh. sweet are the scenes of my boyhood's
sunny years.
That bespangle the gay valley DER,
And dear are the friends seen through
memory's fond tears.
That have lived in the blest days OF
yore;
But sweeter. dearer. yes. dearer far than
these,
Who charms where others all fail.
Is blue-eyed. bonny. bonny Eloise.
The belle of the Mohawk vale.
Oh, sweet are the moments when dreaming
/ roam
Through my loved haunts. now messy
and gray,
And dearer than all is my childhoods hal
low'd home.
That is crumbling now slowly away;
But sweeter. dearer. yes. dearer far than
these.
Who charms where others all fail
Is blue-eyed. bonny. bonny Eloise,

Where Are the Friends of Nv
Youth?

Where are the friends OF my youth,
Say, where are those cherish'd ones gone
And why have they dropp'd with the leaf,
All. why have they left me TO mourn?
Their voices still sound in mine ear.
Their features l see in my dreams:
And the world is wilderness drear
As a wide-spreading desert it seems.
CHORUS.
All. where are the friends Of my youth.
All. where are the cherish'd ones gone?
And why have they dropp'd as the leaf.
All, why have they left me TO mourn?
Say. can / ever again,
Such ties can l ever renew,
Or feel those warm pulses again
Which beat for the dear ones 1 knew?
The world a winter is cold,
Each charm seems to vanish away;
NY heart is now bllghted and oiJ,
1t shares in ali natures decay.

When the Roses Come Again.

Meath the shadows down the meadows,
Dead leaves lie on every side
By the river flowers shlver,
Fading dying in their pride:
Some ones straying. long delayins.
Sad the parting down the lane.
Il must leave you" some ones saying,
"'Till the roses come again."
The St. Louis Republic., 1901-01-13
CHORUS.

When the roses come again.
When the roses come again,
1 will meet you, will greet you,
When the roses come again,
As wander / will ponder
On happy by and by,
OF T. summer over yonder.
Fraught with JOY to you and 1:
Do not borrow grief or sorrow
In the hours that yet remain.
We shall know a glad tomorrow.
When the roses come again.
Sunshine over crimson clover
Blossoms on the meadows wide,
Summers fingers sweetly linger.
Everywhere on every side;
Some ons's roaming in the cleaning.
Happy hearts that feel no pain;
whS roses come asain.

OF all the farcical, rotten and corrupt
Legislatures Colorado has ever had the
Thirteenth General Assembly takes the
lead. There was corruption from the
very beginning in choosing a speaker
of the House, followed by larger dose
when United States Senator was
elected and it has continued in Il greater
or less degree through the entire ses-
sion, the last consisting in turning the
clock back and thus killing the revenue
bill. There was absolutely no excuse
for this. Had the members attended
to business and worked at the beginning
of the session every good bill could
have been passed and every bad one
killed in sixty days, and the Legislature
could then have adjourned and saved
the state large expense bill. But the
members held their 800 per day too
sacred to be sacrificed and railroad
passes were coming in too freely to be
ignored, so they dilly-dallied and have
now saddled the expense of an extra
session upon the already over-burdcned
tax payers. Such work should call
forth the unanimous condemnation of
all and before another election comes.
the chaf should be thoroughly sifted
from the wheat and only the very best
men sent to the next General Assembly.

A New Rule
Hereafter THE STAR will charge reg
ular advertising rates for certain matter
which has heretofore been published
free of charge and which is properly
advertising matter, namely;
Advertising lodge, church and soci-
cites entertainments, etc, where an ad-
mission fee is charged, or which is
given for the purpose of making money,

Cards of thanks, ) cents per line.
The STAR has always and will in the
future be liberal in printing announce
ments and other matter which the diff
ferent organizations wish made public.
but when publicity is necessity it is
worth paying for, and we think this
new plan is perfectly fair and Just.

That was impossible, as he was known
to be at a hotel in Brookly, and had
been seen there the night of the murder,
sauntering about in his usual way. How

that Jefferds, just as an innocent man
would do, sent word to the coroner that
he would place himself at his official dis
posal, for, said he, ST am getting sick
of the talk connecting my name with
that awful crime True to his word, he
appeared before the coroner and horde
of respectable men testified that they
had seen him at the Brooklyn hotel the
night of the murder about the Ame Wal
ton was said to have been killed.
Everybody was convinced that JEFF
ferds had nothing to do with the murder
and the coroner apologized to him for
the unnecessary trouble he had been
put to. But everybody was not convinc-
ed-the exception was Nelson J. Water
bury, the district attorney. He got the
grand jury, in some way to indict young
Jefferds for the murder The trial soon
followed. 1t was on every tongue while
1t lasted. The newspapers were full of
it. Well, when it ended, Jefferds, amid
the cheers of his friends, walked smiling
ly out Of court-a free man. The Jury
had acquitted him.
That ended 1t all, said Jefferds friends.
and the general public agreed with them.

the murderer. True, Jefferds acquitted.
