HIGH NOON.

Here where the faint breeze droops upon tn,
grass,
Whore summer incense fills the air with PIKE,
Upon the highest hillside where the sun
Lifts nature to himself. ! raise my shrine
To thee. High Noon,
In whose clear eyes, undimmcd by doubt or tear,
No secret shadow Of the soul is good
Others may dread thy burning judgment white;
For them be twilight affairs in the wood;
To thee High Noon.
Bare breasted as pagan would come!
Test thou my heart, that, proven. may dare
Exut to shrive me in thy riteless peace
And sacamental faith eternal swear
To thee, High Noon!

UNDER THE LABURNuM.

Beneath the slim .apurnum tree.
Where lights and shadows meet AMI av.
Sunk deep in drowsy thought sits sbe.
Still while the lettering hours 20 BY.
Lulled by the dusky wandering bee
Sung by the hidden thrush on high.
Winds through the trailing branches 20
And loose the fragile blossoms hold;
They part, and where she sits below
Down in broken rain are lolled:
The petals, light as fakes of snow
Lie on her curls, pale gold on gold
The dropping notes about her rouse
Thoughts Of tale OF old renown,
And she is Danae in browse.
Fallen now her high towers brazen crown.
And through the bright laburnum bourbs
Jove in golden shower comes down

AN INDIAN MoUND.-At Osborne
near the banks of the Chiokahominy
river, once the residence of Colonel
Lacey, now owned by L. F. Barnes and
in charge OF Assistant Chief A. j
Brady, OF the Chickahominy tribe o.
Indisns, there has been recently discov'
cred an "Iudian mound"
The assistant chief OF Chickahominy
Tribe not being familiar with the Gus
toms OF ancient Indians, sent for the
Chief of the Pamunkey Tribe who, OF
Investigation, found it to be an Indian
mound" Of ancient origin.
The mound was found under the
corner OF Bradby's house on the banks
of the Cnickshominy river. 10 the
mound was found a large quantity oil
skeleton bones, such as skulls, legs
arms, etc.
A council of both tribes of the To-
dams was held February IA, 1901, al
the home OF Assistant Chief Brady o.
Chiokahominy Tribe, as to what dis
position was to be made OF the remains
of their ancient ancestors.
1t was decided by the council that OIL
q certain day, which ia to be set later
the bones be reinterred and buried
in a prominent place and monument
be erected over them.
Meantime further investigation will
be made to find out how long and how
this mound was placed there. There Is
a good deal Of speculation among the
Indians in regard to the mound of their
ancestors.

In day or 30 complying fully with the
demands regarding the punishment oil
the guilty officials.

tory, If the other punishmeDts we're in

Chinese Commissioners are acting Of
their own volition or 10 response to an

Chao Shu Chao and Wing Lien are the
only officials whose punishment is
causing trouble. OF course, If an ediot
Is issued complying with the demands
for punishment, the plan for military
