There are some queer judges In the world surely, including that official in Philadelphia who fined a doctor $1O because he kept the court waiting half an hour. The doctor had a patient whose life depended on his attendance, yet the court informed the gentleman that Fit were better the patient died than that the commonwealth should be treated with contempt"

The shrewdness of the Hanna-Mc- Kinley bluff In the senate by antagon- izing appropriation bills with the ship subsidy bill cannot be denied. Hay ing determined that there shall be an extra session of congress any way, they could afford to make this bluff. If they succeed in getting the subsidy steal through by it, they will dodge the charge of arranging for the extra session just to get 1t through; if the may also prevent some of the regular appropriat ton bills from getting
 through, thus furnishing other rea- sons for the extra session than MT Me- Kinley's sudden desire to have con gress provide form of civil govern ment for the Philippines and his anx- iety lest the Cubans should have to wait a few months for congressional action on the constitution they are now making. Unless all signs are wrong, there Is some partisan deviltry behind this extra session plan. It Is easily conceivable that if the republi- cans intend to do some partisan legis- Iating in the fifty-seventh congress, for the purpose of perpetuating themselves in power, they would prefer doing it th.s spring to postponing it to the reg ular session, which will not close until a few months before the next congress sional campaign. The large repubn- can majority in both branches of the next congress will be g great tempta- tion to a certain class of their leaders to indulge in partisan legislation.

BALLADE OF POINT DESPAIR.

Soft were the eyes that were met by
mine,
Soft as summers morn;
Sad was the glance that was giv'n to me,
Sad, and a bit forlorn;
Keen was the thrill that disturbed my
soul,
Keen as a cow-herd's horn.
Swift DER the waves rose a somber mist,
Swift Ger the restless sea;
Deep was the grief on the maiden's face,
Deep as a grief might be;
Low were the words that she slowly
Low were her words to me:
Far to the East has my lover gone,
Far Ger the vastly deep;
Fleet is the pace Of the rising storm,
Fleet it's engulfng leap.
Cold are. the chiHs that enthral my
Cold are the chills that creep.
"Fair was the day that my lover sailed.
Fair for ship to steer;
Sweet the farewell that he said to me,
Sweet for maid to hear.
Dire is the thought that the tempest
brings,
Dire as Watery bier.
Z" IT, said my lover, ne'er come back,
If meath the waves I lie.
A pearl will I send through the sea to
thee,
A pearl from my tearfuI eye.
Shrill is the voice Of the coming storm,
Shrill is the sea gull's cry.
!;
pure is the pearl that tightly clasp,
Pure as q maiden's love;
White is It's tint on my icy hand,
White as a fairy dove
Black is the sorrow within my heart,
Black as the -clouds=abaYe."
Swift Ger the waves rose-a sombre mist,
Swift Ger the restless sea;
Deep was the grief on the maiden's face,
Deep as the grief might be.
Low were the words that she slowly
Spake,
Low were her words to me.

Chicago Chronicle.
Senator Spooner, Of Wisconsin is a.
gallant man at all times, and is espe-
cially so when he encounters a woman in
distress. Some time ago, when the ma
tIonal convention of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance union was in session.
one of the California delegates. an elder
ly woman, went into restaurant, looked
the oil of fare over carefully and ordered
fried oysters.
How many?" asked the waiter.
ON, she said. remembering the
diminutfve oyster Of California, Il guess
dozen and a half will DO"
The waiter lifted his eyebrows. but
took the order back to the kitchen In
due time he appeared with an enormous
platter full Of fried oysters, each half
as large as mans head.
The California woman nearly tainted
Take them away" she gasped. ssI
never, never ordered that great mass Of

That's a dozen and a half fried
oysters, mas am" the waiter replied
There was some historical but vain
argument on the part Of the delega te
from California.
She was told she would have to paw for

less she chose to do so.
Just then Senator Spooner came in and
sat down at the next table. The
Woman's Christian Temperance union

asked 1mploringly: ooh, SIR, do you like
fried cysters?''

CHANGING ENGLISH STAMPS.

An Expensive New Issue Required
by Edwards Accession.
London Chronicle.
Among the changes which the death OF
the queen viii necesSitate one of the
most important. and certainly not the
least expensive, is in the stamp ISSUE OF
the United Kingdom. 1t is vet too carly
70 state the precise nature Of the altera-
tons that will be made. inasmuch as
the treasury, the inland revenue depar.-
ment and the PoStonice, the three gov
eminent ofnceS concerned in the matter
nave not yet made up their minds or the
SUBJECT. Correspondence has passed
among the three departments ana q te-
cision will be made on an early date.
one obvious and necessary change is,
OF course. that the head OF King Edward
VII viii REPLACE that of Queen Victoria
on all stamps; but the question that IS
agltating the minds of the officials is
the position of the kings head 1t viii.
as IN the present issue, be placed within
made from an influential quarter that
the head should be reversed Against
TINS has been urged that ha reversal of
the head would make his majesty look
away from the address
This may appear frivolous objection
but it is, nevertheless, one to which the
authorities are giving serious considera-
ton. Their ideas on the subject of the
new issue will be embodied in a report
which will be placed before the king.
Who will give the final decision This
question of the position of the monarcf's
head is practically the only one that
has to be settled, as we understand It is
not intended as consequence of the
queens death, to make any changes in
the coiors of the stamps. One change
in color will, however shortly be an
nounced to the public but it was decid-
ed on some considerable time since and
has no connection with the death of her
majesty. All the green adhesive stamps
will be abolished and carmine- colored
stamps substituted for them The pOst-
office has been obliged to make this
change on account, it is understood of
the discovery that the green coloring
matter used in the printing of these
stamps is of a poisonous character The
other colors are absolutely free from any
such suspicion.
The cost of the change may be esti-
die to be cut for each separate
stamp, but, stamps being printed in
sheets. each individual stamp in the
sheet must have die. Eighteen post
age stamps ranging in value from one
haifpenny to e5, will be affected by the
change. These stamps are of course,
also available for inland revenue and
telegraphic purposes. There are also
two series of embossed envelopes, one
bearing a halfpenny and the other a
penny stamp, which require separate
cles, as well as newspaper wrappers and
postcards. The preparation of these dies
will occupy at least a twelvemonth. and
when they are ready the printing of the
new stamps will be begun at once.
Gradually the stamp with the familiar
head OF the queen will pass out of use
and find place only in the albums of
philatelists.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
SLEIGH BELLS.


Were the hearts behind the slelghbells
Half SO blithe or half SO gay
AS the Joyous, happy Jingle
That floats merrily each way.
Many homes now sad and cheerless.
Would be bright as sunny May,
Even though the tinkling sleighbells
Told of springtime-far away.
Merry tinkling, tinkling sleighbcllss
AS you ring across the snow
DO your voices never carry
Cheer, from days now long agof
DO they never tell the secrets
Tod behind them, when the snow
Piled the country roads with Wilderness.
And the moon was hanging iow7
Do they never whisper love tales,
do they never tell OF tears
Do they never murmur warnings
Taught them by the passing yearss
Or-are all their tinklings CHEEKY,
Without care; and never sad7
Naugnt know they OF what Is drearY9
Conscious, but OF what Is glad?
Are thy voices slaves of pleasure,
At her dictates to beguile:
Serving always, by their cadence,
To distract from pain the while
Hearts that erstwhile WINGED with sor-
row,
Hearts with carping cares depressed!
Into happiness and rest?
On! ye merry sleighbellst
How your tinkling brings tonight,
TO my longing memory, tidings
81 the days, now passed, so bright,
When the hearts behind my sieighbells
Were as biithe and were as gay,
AS the Joyous happy jingle
Floating mefrily each way
And though years have dimmed the eye
sight,
Though the locks are touched with
gray;
Happy memories still respond, when
Sounds of slelghbeils, far away,
Come across the fields and meadowsI
AS the moon is hanging low,
AS She did that glorious winter,
In the blissful, long ago

WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER.

Dost thou remember the happy hours

HOW we laughed and chaffed in the daisy

Eight hundred years ago?
When the brightest of pictures before us
lay, 10
One hopeful delicious track.
AND was a dude not a bit blase,
a few tr1tdng centuries back?
Canst thou recall the fond DAYS of wore
Our travels on land and sea,
When / was hundred and twenty
four
And you were just ninety-three?
Cans't thou summon ur in thy mind
afresh
The charms of our love divine,
When You were a hundred and eighty
two
And 1 was two hundred and nine?
Oh. then did our love supremely thrive.
We lived in a mutual heaven.
When you were three hundred and
eighty-five
And l was four hundred and seven.
Cans't thou remember the happy DAYS.
For old age makes memory sad
When you were about eight hundred
and eight
The first kick we ever had?
When upon my head you broke a plate.

So strong that naught would come be-

That we may better have insight

OH il knew thee understood
And not unjUstly thought of me,
We then might feel more as We should.
And love each other, as before,
And be again so fond and true.
Oh! let us try to deeper look
And try to take each others view,
And then l feel we'll surely know
How true, sincere, too, is the heart,
And in each other then believe,
And need not in such sorrow part.
Farewell! farewell OH say it not.
1t Is too sad, 1t must not be.
Oh! may our Lord unveil blind eyes,
And teach us to each other see,
AS he beholds our Utmost hearts.
Say au revoir until we know
That we each other have misjudged.
Let friendship not in anger go.
But let US trust that we shall know
Each other, soul to soul, some day,
So that our hearts win understand,
And never from each other stray.
1t grieves me to think that we
Cannot each other understand
OH let us have more faith and trust,
And walk together, hand in hand.

CHECKERS on THE FARM.

The checker board is ali worn out
From use each winters night;
The checkers have BECOME begrimed.
But still the game goes straightway on,
Altho' the squares are blurs,
While Cynthy pens up Ruben's men,
Or Ruben captures hers.
Sometimes the old man takes a hand
To show his practiced skill,
And then the farm hands circle round
While every one is still:
They would not say single word
That would distract his play;
SO GREATNESS they observe him drive
Young Rubens men to bay.
All. what would winter evenings be
Without the checker board,
With double corners. jumps and moves
And fun which they Afford
Our dissipation oft consists
In too much checkers here,
Which makes the gossips tell about
Our checkered iife's career.
