OVER THE RIVER.

By Miss Priest. Over the river they beckon to me. Loved ones who've crossed to the father
 side; The gleam of their snowy robes I see, But their voices are lost in the rushing
 tide. There's one with ringlets of sunny gold. And eyes the reflection of heavens own
 blue; He crossed in the twilight gray and cold, And the pale mist hid him from mortal
 view. We saw not the angels who met him
 there,
 The gates of the city we could not see; Over the river, over the river, My brother stands waiting to welcome
 me. Over the river the boatman pale Carried another. the household pet: Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale. Darling Minnie! I see her yet. She crossed on her bosom her dimpled
 hands,
 And fearlessly entered the phantom
 bark: We watched 1t glide from the silver
 sands,
 And all our sunshine grew strangely
 dark; We know she is safe on the farther side. Where all the ransomed ana angels be: Over the river, the mystic river My childhood s idol Is waiting for me. For none return from those quiet shores, Who cross with the boatman cold and
 pale; We hear the dip of the golden oars, We catch gleam of the snowy sail: And To! they have passed from our yearn-
 ing heart;
 They cross the stream and are gone for
 aye, We may not sunder the veil apart That hides from our vision the gates of
 day; We only know that their barks no more May sail with us over lifes stormy sea; Yet somewhere I know. on the unseen
 shore,
 They watch, and beckon, and wait for
 me. And sit and think, when the sunsets
 gold
 Is flushing river and hill an. shore, I shall one day stand by the water cod. And list for the sound of .-ie boatmans I shall watch for a gleam of the Tapping
 sail.
 I shall hear the boat as 1t gains the
 strand shall pass from sight with the boatnan
 pale
 To tho better shore of tho spirit land. < I shall know the loved who have gone be-
 fore.
 And joyfully sweet will the meeting be- When over the river. the peaceful river, The angel of .eath shall carry me.

MIR. ROOSEVELT AND THE SOUTH

From the Washington Post.
 We are vastly interested in recent outburst of gush over the Presidents Southern connection-his mother having been a member of a distinguished Georgia family. It is easy to understand that Mir. Roosevlt. with his daring and impetuous nature, appeals to the Southern imagina- tion. We can see that he might, without much effort. win thousands of Southern men to his following in any great and patriotic cause. We can see. also, that his opportunity to make Republican con verts in the ordinary course of politics Is the most brilliant that has presented it.

The American Beet Sugar Product

The American farmer has suddenly
discovered that he can raise with large
profit as good sugar beets as there are
in the world. and the American manu-
facturer has learned that he can make
those beets yield the highest grade of
pure sugar. Twelve years ago the total
production of beet sugar in America
was 255 tons; six years later the pro-
duction had jumped to $1,000 tons, and
last year (1S99) the production was
about $4,000 tons. For 1900 those who
know predict a production exceeding
10000 tons, nearly doubling the out
put of year ago and making the beet
sugar yield of the country nearly equal
to the cane sugar yield. And thus, out
of almost nothing, the United States
has built a sugar industry in half a
dozen years, the output of which this
year will be about double that of the
island of Porto Rico. And the work
has barely Begun. In 1898 Michigan
had one sugar beet factory; two years
later, in 1900, she had ten factories. In
California the largest beet sugar factory
in the world has just been completed,
larger than anything in Europe, al
though Germany has been years at the
business. This enormous factory cost
So, 75O, 600, and it will turn out upward
of 400 tons of sugar every day, using
5000 tons of beets for the purpose and
consuming yearly the product of 10000
acres of land. Capital is always shy
about venturing into new industries,
but it has taken beet sugar making to
it's heart. Indeed, one who reads Of
the growth of the industry in Illinois,
Nebraska, Colorado, New York, Iowa,
Minnesota, New Mexico, and other
states can hardly resist the contagion
of the beet sugar enthusiasm. At the
rate at which the industry is now
growing, it will be only few years
before the United States will supply
her own sugar needs, great as they are,
thereby keeping at home the large
profits of growing the beets and manu-
Jacturing the sugar, and saving the
expense of shipping the sugar hum
dreds or thousands of miles. From

The Latest in Advertising.

Perhaps you noticed in the February
magazines soap ad. containing the
pictures of United States senator's
wives. We are told that the senators
are having good deal of quiet fun
among themselves over the appearance
in the magazines of the portraits of the
wives of 81 senators used as a border
for soap advertisement. The names OF
the ladies appear under their pictures
and also as indorsing the virtues of the
soap. Mrs. Hanna's picture occupies
the place of honor in the upper corner
of the portrait gallery. Near her are
the artistic features Of Mrs. Thurston,
while Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs.
Martin, Mrs. Bate, Mrs. Hansborough,
and more than two score of the wives
of other senators are placed in what
might be called human fringe. II
asked my wife how in the lworld she
happened to thus appear in soap ad-
vertisement," said one senator to
another in the cloakroom, "and / had

The Kansas Anti-Saloon Crusade.

1t is well to remember that it has
taken our race many centuries to get
rid of the plan of having every man a
law unto himself. Already this Kan
sas crusade has extended from saloons
to drug stores suspected of selling liquor
for other than medicinal purposes. Its
spirit is so intense and uncompromis-
ing that we shall not be in the least
surprised to hear of the smashing of
private houses whose owners are sus-
pected of having dispensed alcoholic.
beverages i'm the entertainment of their
friends. This is by no means fancifuI
suggestion. Mrs. Nation and her
friends say that they intend to carry
their saloon-snashing crusade, not
only throughout the length and
breadth of Kansas, but into all parts of
the country, and especially into the
city of New York, where, of courre, as
Mrs. Nation must know, the sale of
liquors by persons duly licensed is as
lawful as the sale of Bibles-although
most Now York saloon violate the law
in points of detail. Again, it is to be
remarked that it would be useless to
|criticise those women, who are acting
along what they believe to be the line
of duty under a higher law even than
that which exists in Kansas. But the
members Of the State legislature at
Topeka are not moved by these higher
considerations. They are not of the
stuff of which saints and martyrs are
made; they are just ordinary, everyday
politicians, and as such the country
will judge them. If in passing resOlu-
tious or enacting statutes they encour-
age private individuals to smash, with
out usual process of law, property sup
posed to be occupied by men engaged
In unlawful pursuits, they will be

1t is a rare privilege to be permitted
to visit any of the kaiser's palaces. AS
the Neues palace is regarded above all
the others as a haven ofrest, few tourists
are admitted into its sacred precincts.
This palace is one of the most beautiful
in the world, being built by Frederick
the Great for the express purpose Of
giving the lie to those enemies who
spread reports of the hopeless bank
ruptcy of Prussia. The palace is
divided into two distinct halves by a
grand vestibule and the world-famed
grotto. The kaiser occupies the apart
ments on the right of the ground floor
as living rooms the empress those above
The left wing of the palace contains the
"rooms of Frederick the Great" the
banqueting hail. theatre, and the
apartment for royal guests.
The Hohenzollerns, since the days of
their early poverty, have always fur
nished the residedces favored by the
sovereign at one time, with the aid of
the rest of the castles which are occu-
pied. The kaiser has only three or
four official residences, and all the
other royal castles throughout the
states have been stripped of furniture
and art treasures to give the inhabited
ones the the necessary air of COM
fort and luxury. Not that the
kaiser confines himself to the re-
furnishing from ancient habitations.
He is essentially modern-full of new
tangled ideas, and every novelty inven-
ted that he considers makes for comfort
and beauty, is at once ordered to be
purchased.
Every room in the emperors suit is
decorated in diffeIent tint throughout
being selected with view Of effecting
a complete harmony. The bookcases
and shelves in the library are of rose
wood, inlaid with gold. The billiard
room is furnished in damask of a red
purplish hue. The kaiser often likes
to spend an evening in this room with
members of the family and personal
friends; on such occasions no servants
are allowed to enter; the gentlemen
mark their own scores and fill their
own glasses.
The kaiser's bedroom is simplicity
itself 1t is rather a small apartment
and the walls are hung with fiowered
batise.
The brass bedstead is of English
make, such as might be bought for $50
to $50. The bathroom is assuredly the
most primitive ever fitted up for
nineteenth century monarch. Apart
| from the brushes, sponges and robe,
the room contains but deep zinc tub,
rather narrow at the foot and painted
white, with the color worn off in spots.
