Where ogres dwell In castles huge.

She helped him out: she vas most kind,
And knew the poor youth could not ind
Words his Ideas to express
because OF his sad bashfuiness
And some denciencles OF mind.
He really thought she was Inclined
To him. but vanity In blind:
Because she pttied his dlstress
She helped him out.
But when he showed that he desi gned
In matrimonial chains to bind
The maiden, who then liked him lee,
Her father. coming up behind.
Just helped him out.

BOGUS POSTAL CARDS.


New York, April ss.-The postal au-
thorities are exercised over the dis
covery Of counterfeit postal cards in
the mails from nearly every part Of
the United States. Postmaster Van
colt said last night: 1--WE have re-
ceived only q few Of the cards st
the New York post office. What
bothers us Is the fact that those re-
ceiyed have come from SO many diff
ferent sections. Several inspectors
are working on the case. The cards
are poor counterfeit"
The description Of the counterfeit
cards given by the postal authori-
ties follows: "Top of name line runs
together, genuine is spaced. Lines Of
Jefferson's face are coarse and
coarse and broken, wreath not uni
form. Word Jefferson is light face,
genuine is bold face type. 1t is =
coated paper, not used for cards.
The whole appears to be copy from
an old, worn-out plate"

THE popE's CONDITION.
". Bourke Cochran Says His Holiness IL
Stronger Mentally and Physically ThAn
when He Ssw Him Before.

London, April CIV. Bourke Cock
ran, of New York, who sails for the
United States to-day, described to .
representative Of the Associated
press yesterday his recent audience
with the pope. Mr.. Cochran said:
at was five years since l had seen
his holiness and rather dreaded this
visit, lest / might see some of the
cruel inroads of age. To my as
constituent I found the pope to be
stronger, mentally and physically,
than when l first saw him. The &C.
curacy of his memory, the sweetness
of his voice and the brightness of
those wonderful eyes seem to have
been accentuated rather than dimin-
ished by the intervening five years.
His holiness expressed, as he always
does, his great friendliness for Amer
lea and exhibited keen knowledge
of American affairs. Nothing relst-
ing to the Philippine islands or to
politics was mentioned; our CONVEX
sation was almost exclusively upon
ecclesiastical matters"

Denver, Col, April 23.-Gen. Fred

most daily for several months.
"If Nicholson makes this statement
under OATH" said Gen. Funston, "he
will land in the penitentiary for per-
jury. am inclined to believe, how
ever, that Nicholson is a myth. l

son. Not only did l not practice the
water cure, but / issued strict or
ders against the use of 1t or any
other form Of torture to secure in

It was resorted to by any Of my com
mand. I have extracted valuable in

COL. CRowDER's REPORT.


Washington, April 23.-The report
Of Col. Crowder, who investigated the
shipment of horses and mules to
South Africa from the port Of Chal-
mette, La, was laid before the cabi-
net yesterday by the president.
While the report is incomplete, it
developed that the conclusion was
reached by the president from what
he had seen Of it that there was not
sufficient evidence to show past or
previous violation Of neutrality laws
and consequently there is no warrant
for Intervention. It is probable that
the government will now turn Its at
tentibn to the alleged British relay
