Suddenly on April s. 1901, of heart trouble, Au
gustus Brown, of Westminster, Nd, aged 5S years
months and &c days.
No words will ever seem so sweet
As the words he used to say;
No day will ever seem SO sad
AS the day he wentaway.
Years may pass and others forget,
My darling, my pride;
But to me forever his dear form
viii seem to linger by my side. BY His WIFE
Oh papa dear. we are SO sad,
Each one and all of US seven;
God sweetly said, do come home
And join your family in Heaven
We had loving father once,
The pride of all our hearts Mt home;
But an angel came and whispered.
Papa, papa, do come home.
Weep not for me my children dear,
Because died so Young;
The fewer years. the fewer sins,
The Lords will must be done.

GEN. BAUGHMAN'S VIEW.
Gen. l.. Victor Baughman, speaking of the
result of the election, said:
1.-THE Frederick election today has vindi-
Gated in this community the Democratic party
in passing the Election and the census laws
and the Governor ia calling the extra session.
After the Republican party had forced these
issues into this local contest we realized the
importance to the Democratic party through
out the State of winning the fight We stood
shoulder TO shoulder and made "a gallant eff
fort, which has resulted in victory.
'The Democratic State Central Committee
apparently was not impressed with the impor-
tance of this election and left us to contest it
without any aid or countenance from them.
nor did we have aid from any one outside the
county. Ex-senator Newman, chairman OF
the county committee, Joined in with Mr..
Levy, chairman of the city committee, and in
consultation with them and others contributed
all the aid which could bring. The Repub-
licans had pecunary aid from Washington,
am advised, and every Federal oficeholder
belonging in this city was here and at work.
sAfter seeing how the new law operates
cannot understand how any candid gentleman
can complain oft or call it unfair. The Re-
pubhcans instructed their illiterates and we
instructed ours. and not one was denied the
right to vote. All seemed to get along in the
booths without any trouble.
"The Republican leaders were determined
that the ballot law and the census should be
the issue rather than The good government of
Frederick. The issue was forced by them
and upon that issue the election was con
tested. Not only did the Democrats vote
solidly for their party upon that issue, but
strange as it may seem, many prominent Re-
publicans voted with them. To them the
new Election law did not appear as bad as it
was represented and the Democratic Hitter
ates, Of whom there are over 100 i'll the town,
voted the Democratic ticket as usual. No one
was DISTINGUISHED.

with the appointment of Elk Sheriff Fielder

BURNING LIGHTS AT NIGHT.
Many Timid People Think Artificial
Light Protects Them.

"A man troubled with insomnia sees
a good many phases of the city's night
life that are unknown to those on
whom the blessings of sleep descend"
said the man with the red mustache.
81 myself have not known what 1t is
to rest clear through a night for
good many months, and in my pere-
grinations and star-gazing l have OBJ
served many queer things. One of
my curious discoveries is that good
ly percentage of New York's popula-
ton burn light at night. When /
first noticed those faint points Of
light shining through so many Of the
windows in the block that backs up to
ours was alarmed, for l thought that
every house must shelter three or four
invalids, and that made 1t look as il
an epidemic of some kind had struck
our part OF the city. Indeed, so Sc
riously did consider the matter that
I made 1t n point to inquire into the
health of the neighborhood. and as a
reward for my pains ! was informed
that out of a population OF several
hundred souls there were not more
than a dozen people on the sick list.
Upon making n second and more
thorough investigation ! was sur
prised to learn that these lights were
kept burning by nervous people. who.
although perhaps not exactly afraid
of the dark. fancied that they could
not sleep well in the middle OF 1t.
Even in the hot spells n good many
shadow-fearing people have clung to
the midnight gas jet."-New York

THEY COURT CAUTIOUSLY.

Consent to Marriage.

Lapland Girls Must Have Parental
Consent to Marriage.
Getting married among the peoples
of the northern nations is by no means
the off-hand, hit-or-miss affair which
it is with too many people in this
blessed country of the free. In Nor
way before woman can marry 1t is
necessary, under law recently passed,
that she hold a certificate OF house
wife ability. She must pass an exam
ination in cooking, knitting, spinning,
etc., and get her certificate of prof
cheney in these branches before sne can
get her marriage certificate. Also both
bride and bridegroom must show evil
dence that they have been vaccinated
properly. In Lsapland it is an offense
punishable with death to marry girl
without her parents consent. No
elopements in that country! When a
pair Of lovers apparently have reached
that stage of courtship which calls for
the official cognizance of pa" and
ma" the friends of the lovers are in
vited to meet at a specified place to
see the enamored ones run race. To
the girl is allowed in starting the ad-
vantage of one-third of the distance.
SO that it is impossible for the young
man to overtake her unless she is will
ing. II the girl outruns her suitor the
affair is ended and she thenceforward
is "only sister" to him. 1t is a
penal offense for the lover to renew his
offer of marriage. But If the girl is in
the condition Of mind of the immortal
Barkis, she pretends to meet with some
accident-stubs her toe or gets out Of
breath-and comes to a halt before
the course is finished. to be caught by
the Lapland swain and live happily
ever afterward.

The bottom of this pocket was lined

Jason gazed in stupid wonder for
several moments, then mist dazed

rocks he greedily scraped the gold
dust into his handkerchief. and then
cautiously withdrew.
A week later he was at work with

Living Stones of the South Sea

The visitor to the Falkland islands
sees a number of what appear to be
weather-beaten, moss-covered boulders
of various sizes scattered here and
there. On attempting to turn one over
he is surprised to find that it is an
chored to the ground by roots of great
strength. These are not boulders;
they are trees! No other place in the
world can show such n popularity Of
forest growth. The Falkland Islands
are exposed to strong Polar wind
which renders it impossible for trees
to grow in the proper form; nature
has consequently adapted herself to
the prevailing conditions and produced
this strange form of plant life. These
living stones" as they are called, are
quite devoid of grain" and 1t is next
to impossible to cut them up and util-
ize them for fuel.

Under the Naples.
BY EDGAR wELToN COOLEY.

Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
A youth and a maiden stood under
the naples. The youth was holding
the maiden's hand. and his eyes and
the moonlight were looking down into
her upturned face. Her chip hat dan
gled from it's strings, and her hair,
yellow as the moonbeams, clung about
her neck in riotous ringlets. Her eyes
were blue and wistful. but her lips
were as silent as the night.
The youths voice was low and
trembled, as though sob, which he
had tried to swallow. was lodged in
his throat.
In babyhood these two had played
together; in childhood they had wan
dered, hand in hand, across the violet
dotted fields and along the clover-car-
peted lanes. Into each others hearts
they had grown. and to each the future
without the other, seemed uninviting.
But the youth was about to depart
for far country, and they were
standing together under the naples for
the last time, perhaps for years-per-
haps for ever.
Jason was a sojourner on the bor-
der land between youth and manhood.
He was ambitious. visionary, perhaps
and the quiet country town seemed
to possess no encouraging possibilities.
Stories of vast wealth wrested from
the rocks of Alaska had proven fas-
cinating to him and he had determined
to seek for riches in the frozen Klon-
dixie.
Il will return to you some day. my
Princess Mildred" he said, II will re-
turn to you with love in my heart and
gold in my hand and will build for
you palace of marble in the midst Of

glanced up at star in the heavens.

said. Every night l shall look at it

RATES ARE REASONABLE.

A False Impression Corrected - Pam
American Exposition Railroad Fares
and Hotel Rates Low as Could be
Expected.
Buffalo, N. Y, July 30.-A Joint
meeting of railway passenger agents,
hotel and newspaper men was held
this afternoon with the view of adopt
ing some means for correcting so far
as possible the impression that ap-
pears to prevail at distant points that
railway rates to the Pan-American Ex-
position are high and that hotel rates
in Buffalo are excessive. The confer
ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can
accommodate two hundred thousand
visitors in it's private houses and ho-
tells at rates ranging from fifty cents
to two dollars per night, and that no
one need pay more than one dollar
for first-class lodging in private
house. 1t was also shown that the
railroad rate is lower than for any
former exposition for a five, ten or
fifteen day ticket, according to dis
tance, being at the rate OF one fare
plus one dollar for the round trip.
from all parts of the country. The
Niagara Falls cheap, one-day special
excursions of former years, when
trains were overcrowded and everyone
subjected to great discomfort. are re-
membered only so far as the low rate
is concerned, and this is quoted as
showing what might be done. The
passenger agents assert that the pres
ent half rates are as low as can rea-
sonably be expected. An extension Of
the present limit has been looked for,
as 1t gives too short time for anyone
to see the big exposition, but 1t has
not yet been modified. Other points
which the representatives of the pub
lishers' association will lay stress
upon are that the Exposition is COM
pleted in all details and that both
Buffalo and the Exposition are we'll
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country.
A joint committee was appointed to
deal with questions affecting the Ex-
position and the proper welcome and
care of guests. The Exposition has
had in operation for some time a free
bureau OF information for the conye-
nience of intending visitors.

WORKS IN BIG WORDS.
City Onaoial Who Uses Language He Does
Not Understand,

NOT Understand.
There is n certain city official who,
says the New York Times, although
capable enough in his business, is no.
torious for his lack of knowledge Of
the Kings English and for his fond
ness for big words.
ne came into his office one misty,
muggy day, and, noticing that the air
was foul, called out to one of his sub
ordinates: "Open that window and pu-
trefy the airr'
On another occasion, when called
upon to take action for an infraction
of one of the city ordinances, he was
asked where he got his information.
"Oh, 1 got word through unanimous
letter that this work was being car
ried on superstitiously."
Speaking of his horse, n fine trotter,
which he drives almost daily on the
speedway, he remarked: II can't drive
out for some time because Jack (the
horse) has a spasm on his off hind
leg"
On another occasion, speaking Of a
storm in which he had been caught,
he said: at was perfect toronto"
Once in speaking of his daughter,
who, he said, was inclined to be mu.
sical, he remarked: Il am going to
send her to the Controversy of Mu-
Sic"
Once he felt i'll and blue, and to a
friend he remarked: Il am growing
feeble and feel as If my working days
were about over. 1 am poor man
and suppose I'll have to pass my last
days in some institution for indignant
old men,"
