POEM WHICH PLEASED QUEEN
VICTORIA.
(From the London Mail.)

(FrOm the DOnOOn MILL
In reference to a paragraph that ap-
peared in The Daily Mail recently, a
sends a copy Of the lit
tie poem "She Noddit to Me-" which
was published about sixteen years age
in The Aberdeen Journal. This poem
pleased the Queen so much that she
ordered a copy of the nothcrn paper
to be sent to her regularly. If Africa
is substituted for the word Egypt
the poem seems particularly appro
pirate at the present moment.
I'm but an auld body
Livin' up in Deeside,
In u twa-room'd bit hoosie
WI my toofa' beside.
WI my COO and my grumphy
I'm as happy's n bee,
But I'm far prooder moo
Since she nouult TO me!
I'm nae sac far past wit
I'm gle trig and hail
Can plant twa-t three tawties,
An look after my kali;
And when oor Queen passes
I'm cot TO see,
Gin by luck she micht notice
And nod cot to me!
But I've aye been unlucky,
And the blinds were aye doom.
Till last week the time
o. her veeslt cam room.
/ waved my bit apron
AS brisk's | could dae.
An the Queen lauch'd fu' kindly
An noddit to me!
My son sleeps in Egypt
It's nae eese to freit-
An yet when l think OF
I'm sair like to greet.
She may feel for my sorrow
She's mither, ye Sec
An maybe she kent OF
When she noddit to me!

st. Joseph. Mo. Jan 23--The cause Of
the suicide Of Frank Harpster, cashier
or the Wathena State bank. has been
found. He had been specializing on the
grain market for several months and
his losses are said to have been very
heavy. His last words were spoken
through the telephone to a St Joseph
commission company regarding a deal
he had on hand. In less than half an
hour he had taken his life. He is known
to have paid a single loss Of l,lO0 a few
days ago
1t is said, that the. depositors in the
state bank viii receive very little Of
thenr money back. The assets win not
exceed $50. 900, part of which is in uncol-
1ectib1e notes, while the liabilities Will
perhaps reach 100000.
Ten depositors who were seen today
had over 81. 600 in the institution. There
are $50 deposifors in all and on this bas-
is the deposits would amount to about
$3.50, 000 Many persons in moderate civ
cumstances will lose practically all they
lad by the failure. A teamster who had
$50 in the bank. had 80 cents in his poclS-
ct when the doors were closed. Fred
Dubach, an aged German who gave
13arpster his start in life. had $4,000 in
cash and deposited It half an hour be-
fore the bank closed. The deposit was
the last cent he had in the world.

Muncie. Ind. Jan. 2S.-Amos Rusie
said today that it is a case of wait with
him. Like hundreds OF others, he is
puzzled over numerous reports flying
hither and thither, and he thinks it is
too early to really predict how all the
fuss and muss will turn out If the
American league maintains its fight
against the National league, it was sug-
gested TO Amos that there would be
good opportunity for him to jump the
traces. leave the National organiza ton,
and Freedman. and join an amateur
team. where he is almost sure to get a
fine position and salary.
What viii you do? How does it
strike your" he was asked.
Il am not saying" he replied. Il
won't do anything rash, but I am about
decided am going to play ball some
where I am fit, and I am going to be
on somebody's payroll next season"
Rusie said President Brush had not
communicated with him in any man
ner. Amos reiterated former statements
to a reporter that he would like to be
with the Reds. He said he has heard
nothing about the report that he is
really Brush's property. having been
traded for HaWley and Selbach, and
that Brush did not take him to Cincin-
natl because he flew up and left New
York, probably getting out of condition
by his subsequent idleneSs.

Galena. Jan. 23.-Fifty thousand tons
of figh-grade zinc ore from the Mis-
souri-Kansas mining district is to be
exported to Europe, this amount Of ore
having already been contracted for by
the European smelters with the Mis-
souri, and Kansas Zinc Miners associa-
ton. Zinc ore has been growing scarcer
in Europe for several years, while this
productive district has been yielding
more ore than the American zinc smelt-
ers could handle. Thus, the American
shelters have had an excuse for ham
mering down the prices Of ore on the
ground or overproduction, and for
year or more the mine owners have been
completely at the mercy of the smelters,
who made the prices as they chose.
This condition Of affairs has resulted
in the shutting down of many zinc
mines, which cannot make expenses at
Miners association is contracting with
all the mine owners in the Missouri
Kansas district for one-fourth of the
zinc ore they WI produce this year, or
every fourth weeks yield. The price is
to be based upon the assay value of the
ore.
Expectation of one-fourth of the
years zinc output will prevent a. sur
plus and by reducing the ore available
to American smelters to barely enough
to keep their plants running will tend to
advance the prices There are now
about 5000 tons OF high-grade ore in
this district, awaiting expectation. The
first cargo will be shipped in March An
other cargo of 1000 TO 5000 tons of ore
will be shipped every month thereafter
until the 81, 900 tons contracted for will
