Why Do We Waltz

Why lo we wait till ears are deaf
Before we speak our kindly word,
And only utter loving praise
When not Il whisper can be heard?
Why do we wait until hands are laid
Close-folded, pulseless. ere we place
Within them roses sweet and rare,
And lilies in their fawless grace?
Why do we wait till eyes are sealed
To light and love in deaths deep
trance
Dear wistful eyes-before we bend
Above them with impassioned glance?
Why do we wait till hearts are still
To tell them all the love is ours,
And give them such late need OF
praise,
And lay above them fragrant flow
ers?
How oft we, careless. wait till life's
Sweet opportunities are past,
And break our "alabaster box
Of ointment at the very last!
Oh, let us heed the, living friend
Who walks with us life's common
ways,
Watching our eyes for look of love,
And hungering for a word of praise!

And I'll be there; yes, sir!''
Said Mr.. Hogg of Texas.
sThen," cried our wise Ambassador,
'Go forth without delay,
Get measured for your knee breeches,
And buy your sword to-day;
And don't forget the silken hose,
And make careful note
About the buckles for your shoes
And ruffles for your coat,
O Mr.. Hogg of Texas"
'Now what figure would cut
In such silly rig;
I'd sooner go to Parliament
And dance an Irish Jig.
This plain black swallow-tail of mine,
The tie and other things.
Are good enough for Yankee folks,
And good enough for Kings"
Said Mr.. Hogg of Texas.
All honor to the sturdy soul,
The spirit brave and free,
Among the splendors of court,
Still true to liberty.
Ye sons of Uncle Sam who wear
Imported clothes and spats,
Mark we'll the lesson, all in line,
And all take off your hats
To Mr.. Hogg Of Texas.

FROM IRELAND :

.4so.o
Ger the Rath Of Mu!iaghmast.
Der the Rath of Mullaghmast,
On the solemn midnight blast,
What bleeding spectres passed
With their gashed breasts bare!
Hast thou heard the titful wall
That o'erloads the sullen gale
When the waning moon shines pale
Ger the cursed ground there?
Hark! Hollow means arise
Through the black, tempestuous skies,
And curses, strife and cries
From the lone Rath swell; :.
For Bloody Sydney there
Nightly fills the lurid air
With the unholy pompous glare
OF the foul, deep hell!
False Sydney! Knighthood's stain!
The trusting brave-in vain
Thy guests-ride DER the plain
To thy dark coward snare;
Flower of Offaly and LEX,
They have come thy board to grace;
Fools, to meet faithless race,
Save with true swords bare!
With cup and song abound,
The triple lines surround
The closed and guarded mound,
In the nights dark noon!
Alas! Too brave O'More,
Ere the revelry was DER,
They have spilled thy young hearts
gore
Snatched from love too soon!
At the feast, unarmed all.
Priest. bard and chieftain fall
In the treacherous SaXon's hall,
Ger the bright wine bowl!
And now nightly round the board,
With unsheathed and reeking sword,
Strides the cruel felon, lord
Of the blood-stained soul.
Since that hour the clouds that passed
Der the Rath of Mullaghmast
One tear have never cast
On the gore-dyed sod;
For the shower of crimson rain
That o'erfowed that fatal plain
Cries aloud, and not in vain,
To the Most High God!

Campbell, and Mr.. William T. Daniel,
solicitor for the trustees, was also
present. Mr.. Campbell said that all
the offers would have to be submitted
to the court for approval. The estate
was put up in lots of from ten to sixty
acres, and no more than one bid was
given in most of the cases, and in
many instances no bids were given,
while in two or three cases three bids
were given. At the close of the bid
ding, Mr.. Daniel said that none of the
offers made would be accepted by the
court, as they were not half what the
lands were let for last year.

LOST VALUABLE
 LOT OF PEARLS.

Walter M. Harris is out just $1,01O through the thievery of some rascal, who took advantage of a chance to steal his purse, which contained two pearls, the purchase price of which was $950 and several other smaller pieces, which run the total loss up to the first mentioned figure of $1,010.
 Early Monday morning, MT. Harris had reason to go to the safe in his grocery store and laying out upon his desk, a leather case in which he carried his pearls, he neglected to again return the same to the safe. When his mind was recalled to the oversight, the case was gone and as a number of people had been in the store, he had little evidence to work upon to discover the guilty party. It is heavy loss and we hope that by some chance, the owner may recover his rightful possessions.

It is rumored that Professor Paisley will be a candidate for the office of state superintendent of public instruction and is already at work on his political fences.

CROPS NEED RAIN.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Aug. 2O,-Captain J. M. Hudson, Jefferson County Com missioner of Agriculture, today issued the following report of crop con ditions:
 Extreme hot weather of the past week has had an injurious effect on crops, cotton especially. Shedding and boil worms occasion great com plaint; also there is some rust and blight. Bottom bolls of large cotton are rotting for want of sunlight, and many observing farmers contend that the crop will be very short. The crop in the hill country will be better than the average, but will make no more after this. The plant has stop ped growing and is shedding all blooms. It is opening in the hills, and picking will be general as soon as the weather moderates. The crop will be disappointment to farmers. Rain would be welcomed, as all fall crops would be benefited.

"United States Senator James K. Jones, who arrived in Little Rock,n says the Gazette, Cat an early hour Wednesday morning from Memphis, over the Choctaw, is ill in bed at the home of J. N. Johnson, his brother in law, at 2O9 East Eighth street. He had considerable amount of fever all during the afternoon, the result of a chill which came on in the morning. It is hoped that his condition will not prove serious, and that the attack will not return. While in Wisconsin he suffered from several attacks of the same nature, and until Wednes day it was thought that the recurrence was not probable. He reached the city at 12:30 o'clock, but did not leave the sleeper until several hours later. He then went out to the Johnson home, and soon after began suffering with the chill. He took his bed early in the afternoon and did not leave it again that night. He has a physician in attendance, who visited him sev- eral times during the day. The noise of construction work near by at first prevented his sleeping, but early in the night he fell asleep, and his wife declined to have him disturbed on any account.
 cit is thought that Senator Jones' illness was induced by a lack of rest for several days past. He has been aboard trains for three nights on his way back from Wisconsin, and has consequently been unable to secure much quiet and repose.
 s'It was reported Wednesday in the city that Senator Jones had received letter from President Roosevelt in regard to his appointment as one of 1 the Panama canal commissioners. No one seems to know how the rumor originated, but it had gained consid- erable credence from Frequent repe- tition Wednesday night A repre- sentative of the Gazette called at the Johnson residence, and Mrs. Jones uthoritatively denied the report, de- clining to arouse the senator, who was sick and getting the only rest he has had for several days.
 "'I am positively certain, said Mrs. Jones, that no such letter has been received, nor does Senator Jones ex- pect one from President Roosevelt It seems that the papers are a great deal more anxious on the subject than is my husband. Tbe matter has never been mentioned at Washing ton, either by the president or Mr. Jones, in writing or verbally. The only thing known about it is what the newspapers seem to know. When MT. Jones is better he can be seen himself, but not now.'"
