A nrennl ln sprinE.

Like weary sentries, grim and gray, The stately houses stretch away
 In long, unbroken line; Their beeLling broWS in anger troWn Upon a cottage old and brown
 Thy home, 0 heart of minc Yet there the velvet grasses grow, And there the pale, wild cowslips blow
 The first wild bluebird sings, In dreams he sees the tiny nest, Where downy hedglings sway to resr
 Beneath his mates soft wings. And there giant maple stands, Outspreading his protecting bands,
 Like plous friars of old, Der sunken roof and moss grown wall Where white catapa blossoms fall
 Snow arrows, tipped with gold' Caressed by bee and butterfly On either side the long walk lie
 Low beds of tangled flowers; And up and down the quiet street The sunbeams dance with tripping feet,
 Through all the tieeting hours. But oh the cottage lies so still! No more it's list'ning echoes thrill
 With childish laugh and song The tlreless netherlands have rest. Clasped close upon the puseless bredst--
 And, oh, the years are long! Yet ever when the faint perfume From nodding purple lilac bloom
 Steals through the spring sunshine, In dreams that old time home l see, Which never more may shelter thee,
 Q lonely heart of mine. Mabel H. Eastman, in Kansas City Star

The automobile is new in the streets and it will take some time to get the law of it established, just as it did to get the law of the bicycle established
 Justice Freedman of the New York Su- preme court has had something to say about the automobiles rights and du- ties in the street which seems reasona- ble as well 2 legal. He points out that no owner or operator of an automobile is exempt from liability for a collision in a public street by simply showing that at the time of the accident he did not run at a rate oI speed exceeding the limit allowed by law or the ordi- nances. On the contrary, no matter how great the rate of speed may be which the law and the ordinances per- init, as a general rule he still remains bound to anticipate that he may meet persons at any point in a public street, and he must keep a proper lookout for them and keep his machine under such control as will enable him to avoid a collision with another person also us- ing proper care and caution.

LINCHING.

The recent burning of a negro in Tex as by lynchers has called attention to the fact that there are habitations Of cruelty in other places than the Philip pines, Senator Gallinger of New Hamp- shire has been so moved by the ac- counts of the Texas tragedy that yes terday he offered a resolution providing that the Judiciary committee of the Senate should make an investigation into the subject of lynchings in the United States with a view of ascertain ing whether there is any remedy for them. MT, Gallinger said that he in- troduced the resolution in full view of the fact that he might be charged with precipitating sectional controversy, but nothing was further from his thoughts. He said lynchings were not, confined to the South. Horrible cases had occurred in the North and white men as well as black had been the vic tims He thought it imperative that the Judiciary committee should take some action upon the subject. If the strong arm of the law could reach out to prevent such occurrences he deemed it desirable that it do so.
 Perhaps it will be found that the Fed eral government is powerless in this matter, and that the States have ex- elusive jurisdiction, but it will be a good thing to have the whole question thoroughly discussed-more thoroughly discussed than it is likely to be.

ONGHV TO IfdHE IT.

We read with interest that several army officers belonging to the Medical corps have started a movement to se- cure medal of honor for Private John R. Kissinger of the Hospital corps, on account of conspicuously brave services rendered in the interests of science and humanity. This is the man who volun- teered himself as subject in the yellow fever tests that were conducted at Hav- ana by board of army officers in the fall of 1900. The officers were experi- menting with the mosquito theory of infection, and two deaths had resulted from the tests. In the face of these fa- talities, and with full appreciation of the dangers that he was mourning, Kis- singer offered to submit himself to the bites of the poisonous insects. The off, cers accepted his services, he was bit ten by the mosquitoes and became in- fected with the disease, but his life was saved.
 Private Kissinger has certainly shown himself to be a brave man, and he should have a medal. It requires quite as much courage to deliberately face mosquitoes full of yellow fever as it does to face the hostile cannon's mouth.

It is related that zack Snyder, a citi- gen of Byron, Illinois, has won wager made twenty-two years ago, and a re- cent storm decided the bet. In 1880 Snyder was in Oregon Illinois, talking to G. A. Mix, when their gaze happened to fall on the spire of the Methodist church which stood across the street. The two fell to speculating as to the probability of the structures topplinG over in a wind storm, and each ven tured prediction as to which way if would fall. Mix bet Snyder that it would fall to the north, while Snyder held out that it would go over to the east. The result was a bet of a box of ten-cent cigars, and they cleverly plan ned to get the weeds in advance. They went into the store of T, A. Jewett, then, as now, a merchant of Oregon, and told him that the loser would pay when it was decided. Jewett, not sus- pecting the term of the wager, turned over a box of cigars to the pair, and he has been waiting for his money all of

Count von Zeppelin, who has the dis tinction of having built the largest of all airships, has been financially ruined by his aeronautical experiments. Un- able to obtain means for carrying out his new projects, he is now breaking up the old framework of his airships in order to sell the aluminium of which they are composed. Zeppelin is 67 years of age. He was a military at- tache of the German embassy in the United States during the civil war and made several balloon ascensions from battlefelds in the south in 1863. He was the leader of the famous cavalry raid in France in 1870 which marked the com- mencement of hostilties of the great Franco Prussian war.

waltz-step of delight,

Because she plans to ask me for another
twenty-five.

That she's tired out with labor and just
pines to get away;

learned to know the sign,
When dollar articles are marked way

stand and take the kiss!
Oh, you, single men, believe me. tits a

The price has made it sacred and no
wonder L hold back,
For a twenty-five is going to the gurgle of

TITS in vain I growl at business and dis
course with much dsmay.
OF losses 1 have suffered and big bills
I've got to pay;
She scorns my pictured ruin and I have to
get in line,
When dollar articles are marked way
down to ninety-nine.
Oh! merchants of the city, pause mo-
ment in your greed,
That you've got to make living I most
readily concede;
But 1 ask you frank and honest-can't
you find some other way
And not torment US husbands with your
blasted bargain day?

And the house is full of notions bought

MANI SHIFTS IN MANEUVERS.
The British Mediterranean Fleet til g
Largest Farce Ever Before
Concentrated.

The naval maneuvers in the Medi-
terranean, in which the channel and
Mediterranean squadrons took part,
comprised the largest fighting force
yer concentrated in one sea. The
most interesting feature was the
flockade Of a collection of battle
hips. cruisers and torpedo craft in
the Gulf of Argosoli by two forces
more than twice It's strength. The
flockaded fleet, which was command
ed by Prince Louis of Battenberg
made its escape without molestation,
to the surprise of everybody.
A correspondent who witnessed the
maneuvers writes that the wireless
telegraph system broke down COM
pletely in the face Of the enemy, who
deliberately and continuously sent
confusing messages. In its present
state 1t is absolutely USELESS for war

WAGES In ENGLAND.
Marked Reductions in the Pay of
Labor in That Country Reported.
The 0fHcial Organ of the London
Chamber of Commerce Declares
That IL FOreshadows n Re-
lapse of Prosperity.

Marked reductions in the wages OF
labor in England are reported in the
official organ of the London cham.

has just reached the bureau of sta.
tistics. There is warning" it says
ito masters and men alike in the
official report on the changes in rates
of wages and hours of labor during
1901 1t foreshadows a relapse from
the prosperity of the last few years,
u decline in wages having to be re-
corded for the first time since 1895.
Moreover, during the first half of
the present year the tendency was
still towards lower wages. The num-
Der of work people affected by reduc-
tons in 1901 was greater than any
year in the period of ls93-l90l. the
computed amount of the reductions
Icing more than the total reductions
recorded in the previous eight years,
at is estimated that the net in
crease in the wages bill last year was
about S7,67O,0OO. compared with net
increase Of $3O,O0OOO0 in 1900. The
fall in wages was confined to the
mining and quarrying and the metal,
engineering and shipbuilding groups
of industries, there being net in
creases in the other groups-build-
ing, textile and clothing
"One most satisfactory feature in
the report is, however. the fact tina;
there was large increase in the per.
centage of work people whose wages
were settled by Cancellation boards,
with regard to changes in hours
of labor, $50 work people had their
hours heightened, and 2S, 500 had them
shortened, the nei result being a re-
duction of 5S,79S hours per week. The
principal changes were in the print
