tell him so and let him have his own

Even when he was thirty and had
bad set of Whiskers and no Shape to
speak of, he wanted all the Women to
rush to him when he entered a Room.
He wanted to sit in somebody's Lap
and have her tell him that he was too

Passlna Of sectIonaIism.

Newark On. j. Evening News.
There used to be a sharp line between
the north and south. 1t marked a con-
fiict of civilizations and became the scene
OF perhaps the greatest war In history.
It survived the war to separate the hearts
of the people and divide them into bitter
" hostile political camps, and there was
potent promise that so long as time en-
dured that line would stand-the north
on one side and the south on the other.
But the promise has not been verified.
A common Americanism has been grad
ually cementing the sections. Two
years ago the south Loyalty sprang to
the call for war, and one nation faced
Spanish. tyranny in the magnificent eff
fort TO give liberty to this continent.
The blue and the gray melted into the
khaki that fought at Santiago and swept
triumphant over Porto Rico. And now,
when President Mckinley lies dead in the
city Of Buffalo, there has come to his
bedside such assurance Of southern fealty
and sympathy as demonstrates that all
the old bitterness has passed forever.
There used TO be line between the north
and south, but II has been obliterated.
Webster's dream is realized in a oneness
that gloriles the American people and
prophesies the fnlAlment of the utmost
hope of the fathers Of the republic"

See the bubbles as they float on the stream
They are menl
You are there and moving swiftly on your way;
j behold you pass. and then
Find myself q peaceful eddy, and stay
There and dream.
See the bubbles bursting ere they start;
See the bubbles that have troubles as they 60;
Zach Is some ones counterpart,
Each Is doomed to veal or woe. .-.-.
Some are carried with the current; some are
dashed
To destruction on the shores. some are dashed
BY the water which is Fate,
And the bubble that is great
Oft Is whiried around forever in some dark
secluded pool
Where there's many a little fool
OF bubble that goes floating smoothly mast
Ali the bubbles are but men-some are tossed
Fiercely out against distractions and are lost
Some are cast
In the stream where all is clear
And al last,
Whether Justly or unjustly II has got
Far away from where IL started forth or not
Each frail bubble has TO burst and disappear
Where they sparkle now and CLEAN
Others shall appear again;
The bubbles come and go upon the stream.
They are men.

a Hotel than he can in a Kindergar-

Scheme II would be to lure Claude In
to the Kitchen and Fricassee him.
Mamma would come to Breakfast
wearing all her Diamonds, and she
would expect the entire Staff of En-

into his Head that the entire Popu-

put here for the express Purpose of
humoring him and giving him Nickels

In the rest that was desired

Not a shadow on HIS face,
Where a smile has left its trace
As though Death his marble lips
Touched with tender fngertips.
And we wonder II the peace
Which his form encompasseth
Is the glory OF his life:
Or the majesty OF death. ~
And from all the land there comes,
As the requiems grandly surge,
With the Tilt OF muffed drums,
Signing strains OF Sorrows dirge.
Ayei A nations heart is rent

See the Gate OF Grief unpent;
Hear a stricken nations so6s!

Weary hands, that rest today
From their pointing out the way
Weary hands, that wrought Tor peace
Hands that babe the warfare cease;
Weary hands-as white and fair
AS the waxen lilies there.
Though his soul has 1Ourneyed on,
SIN there is the coming dawn.
And the Sorrow OF today
Brinseth Hope with her Away.

Who can sing a good mans worth,
When his wisdom planted seeds

When his Wondrous mind and hand

That endureth for all time.
At rest
Quiet hands across his breast.

And the South her lilies white,
And the daisies OF the North
Be the stars in Sorrows night.

Of his usual truculent and .swash-

beauties Of peace and universal good
feeling. He declared that hereafter
his whole task shall be to SOW the
seeds of peace and security and to
cultivate them carefully. He even
said he hoped that new places might
be found on which to hang the Ger
man armor. Whether he meant that
as having reference to the POSSIBLE

used the pretty smile as indicating
that when the time came he hoped
enough nails would have been driven

the United States or any other inter
fering power all it wanted, OF whether
he really meant that he hoped the
time would come when there would
be no further use for armor, except
as b~ric-a-brac cannot be told. His
reference to the work of the allies in
China as calculating to foster and
promote peace and good will among

the United States senate to the Hay

the treaty which he believes the
senate will be likely to ratify. This
has been submitted to the British

hope Is entertained at Washington
that q treaty along these lines will
be ready for submission to the sen

treaty submitted by Secretary Hay
is said to contain q provision for the
absolute and specific repeal Of the

by the British government will open

It is expected that the negotiations
can be carried on between Washing

sity Of the return Of Lord Pauncefote

completed by fall. AS soon as this
