The Poet and the Check.

Getting a check cashed is no easy
matter sometimes. 4 poet solved the
difficulty last week pretty successfully.
Walking into the Fifth Avenue Bank
he said to the cashier, Il don't suppose
YOU will cash this check without l am
identi6ed?' The cashier seemed to
agree with him that something of the
sort would be required and handed him
over to the manager. The latter
scanned the check and said: "Well, l
know your writings. but l have not
had the pleasure OF meeting your be-
fore" The poet said the disappoint-
ment had been mutual. Then there
was pause. Have YOU got anything
about you, except letters, which would
be likely to lead to your identitca-
tion" The poet said he had not.
We'll" hummed the manager, have
you. for instance, any initials in your
hat?" The poet said lie had rot. but
if the manager would allow him five
minutes grace, he would so round to
the nearest hatters and have them put
in. Then there was 4 mutual smile.
"Have you a card:" The poet had.
AS this did not seem to satisfy the dis
penser of cash, the poet at last said
with a sigh, 'You say you know my
writings:' "Yesw well 1 will sit
down now, and write you a poenl----'
"Mr. -" hurriedly calculated the
manager, I'VE will cash your check"
And he did it at once.-The Journalist.
The Bear and the Child.
The London Graphic obtains from &
correspondent at Sebastopol an inter-

preached near to the village and car

Telford Case, Macadam Top.

Where the material is springy on the
line of a proposed highway, telford
base Of eight inches and macadam
top of FIVE inches should be provided.
making thirteen inches over all. On a
gravel foundation the Highway Com
sioner of Connecticut has used a five"
inch treatment. four inches Of macad"
am and one inch Of bonding and wear
ing surface. Upon some of the roads
be has used a foundation of Stag, with
two-inch treatment Of crushed stone
and one inch OF screenings, making a
very good road. The engineers put on
the profile for his information the char
acter Of the material found at each sta
ton, so that he can select the most
economical treatment.
Where macadam is laid with no curb
ing to retain the stone in the position
that it should occupy, it is essential to
build a very solid, compact and firm
shoulder of the very best material.
This very valuable precaution does not
receive adequate attention. In the
forming OF shoulders the rule with
contractors is to line out of the road
and establish the height of the shoul-
der. and where shoulders are to be
made to build the shoulder material
flush up to the line, instead Of allowing
the material to leak over into the trav-
eled part not less than from eight to
ten inches. This gives an opportunity
for rammlng the shoulders down good
and solid and then cutting back to the
line, thus forming good firm edge to
work to. When shoulders are thus
made the metal used in the roadbed Is
retained in position, and does not work
out into the shoulders, robbing the
road of material that properly belongs
to it.

that ridiculous idea Of Prof. Andrews

Eyes, indeed! Only think OF having

THE FACE AGAINST THE PANE.
THOMAS BAIxxY AlDRIcH.

OF the sailors on the sea!
God pity them, God pity them,
Wherever they may be!
God pity wives and sweethearts
Who wait and wait in vain!
And pity little Mabel,
With face against the pane.
A boom. the Lighthouse gun!
(How its echo rolls and rolls!)
It's to warn the home-bound ships
Off the shoals!
See! rocket cieaves the sky
From the fort:-a shaft of light!
See! it fade;, and fading leaves
Golden burrows on the night!
What makes Mahel's cheek so pale?
What makes Mabel's lips so whitcs
Did she see the helpless sail,
That, tossing here and there,
Like 4 feather in the air,
Went down and out of sight?
Down, down, and out of sight!
Oh. watch no more, no more.
With face against the pane;
You cannot see the men that drown
BY the Beacon in the rain!
From the shoal of richest rubies
Breaks the morning clear and cod;
And the angel on the village spire,
Frost-touched. is bright as god,
Four ancient fishermen.
In the pleasant autumn air,
Come toiling up the sands,
With something in their hands
Two bodies stark and white,
All. so ghastly in the light.
With the Sea-weed in their hair
o ancient fishermen,
Go to yonder cot
You'll find little child.
With face against the pane,
Who looks toward the beach,
And looking, sees it not.
She will never watch again!
Never watch and weep at night.
For those pretty, sanity eyes
Look beyond the stormy skies.
And they see the Beacon light.

Mabel little Mabel.

Mabel, little Mabel,
With face against the pane,
Looks out across the night
And sees the Beacon Light y
A-trembling in the rain.
She hears the sea- birds screech,
And the breakers on the beach
Making moan, making moan.
And the wind about the caves
OF the cottage sobs and grieves;
And the willowtree Is blown
10 and fro, to and fro,
Till It seems like some o!d crone
Standing out there all alone
With her woe,
Wrlngins as she stands,
Her gaunt and palsied hands!
While Mabel, timid Mabel.
With face against the pane,
Looks out across the nght,
And sees the Beacon Light,
A-trembiing in the rain.
Set the table, maiden Mabel,
And make the cabin warm;
Your little hSher-lover
Is out there IN the storm,
And Your father-you are weeping.
0 Mabel, timid Mabel.
Go spread the supper table,
Aud set the tea a-steeping.
Your lovers heart is brave,
His boat is stauuch and tight;
And your father knows the perilous reef
That makes the water white.
But Mabel. darling Mabel,
With face against the pane,
Looks out across the night
At the Beacon in the rain.
The heavens are veined with FIRE!
And the thunder how it rolls.
In the lulling of the storm
The solemn church-bell tolls
For lest souls!
But no sexton sounds the hnell
In that belfry old and high;
Unseen fingers sway the bell
As the wind goes tearing by;
How it tolls for the souls

ONLY FOUR MET DEATH
FEARFUL COLLISION HAS
SMALL CASUALTY LIST.
Pennsylvania Express Train Going
at Full Speed Crashes Into a
Coil Ger and the Wreckage
Catches Fire.

xenia, O.. July 25.-only four killed and
a dozen injured is the almost miracul gus
result of the collision last night of a
Pennsylvania express running seventy
miles an hour. carrying fifty persons ara
meeting a loaded car descending a long
grade at the highest possible speed near
Trebens.
The express was No. .. limited, which
left st. Louis at 1 p. m, Thursday and
was due in New York tonight. 1t car
ried two mail cars. a baggage car, day
car, and four Pullmans 1t left Dayton
twenty minutes late and was running to
make up lost time. The engineer could
see nothing Of the coal car until his head
light flashed upon the obstruction. The
coal car was torn to pieces; the engine
was turned over, shapeless wreck. All
the cars except the two rear Pullmans
were thrown into heap together and a
gas tank under one of the cars exploded
and the wreckage caught fire.
To the presence of mind of Clarence
Kincaid, Treasurer Of the Colonial Dis
tilling Company, at Trebeins. was due the
prevention of another fearful wreck. He
was the first man to reach the scene. In
the confusion and terror of the situation
he alone remembered that a fast freight
was about due. He telephoned to Aenia
only to find there was no way to stop
the freight by telegraph. He then called
upon the agent OF the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton road, which parallels the
Pennsylvania, and succeeded in tagging
the freight.
Help from the Xenia and Dayton fire
departments was obtained to extinguish
the flames. The passengers who escaped
did all in their power to rescue those less
fortunate.

1t was generally supposed that several
passengers in the day coach were burned
to death. but the railway oficials, after
completing a thorough search. declare
that no passengers met death in the de-
bris. The coal car which was the cause
of the disaster. was being switched at

PROTEST OF PRIESTS
AUGUsTINIANs SEND REsoLU-
TONS TO PRESIDENT.
Deplore Condemnation Of the Philip

the Civilization and Educa-

New York. July 25-The Rev. J. r
O'Reilley of Lawrence. Mass, made pub
lie today resolutions adopted by the
quadrennial chapter of the Augustinian
Order at Villa Nouva, Penn. July 16 and
presented to President Roosevelt today
at Sycamore Hill. The priests in attend
ance at the Villa Nouva meeting repre-
scented the Augustinians of the United
States and Cuba. The resolutions fol-
low:
Whereas we, members of the Angus
tinian Order, assembled in Quadrennial
chapter at Villa Nouva, Pa. rejecting
on the sad straits of our brother religious
orders in the Philippine Islands, wherein
they have manfully labored for 800 years
and upwards as philanthropists, educators
missionaries and pioneers of civilization,
now suffering under grave dangers to
civil and religious liberty. threatened
moreover, with ignominous exile from a
country whose very civilization is the
conquest of their heroic labors and self
sacrifices, do deem 1t out duty as Ameri-
can citizens who confide in the honor and
integrity of our government and the jug
tice of our people to raise our voice in
behalf of these Catholic missionaries.
the Friars of the Philippines.
Therefore, be 1t resolved, that we ener-
getically protest against the concerted
effort which is being made to defame and
to villify the Friars of the Philippine
Islands and to ALLEVIATE from the love and
reverence of a people whom they have
ransomed, from ignorance and barbar-
ism.
Resolved, that we. deploring the SEEM
ing disposition of our government to dis
credit the services OF the Friars in the
Philippines, do regard any hindrance to
the legitimate exercise of their labors as
a serious menace to the civil and moral
well being of the people of these ISLANDS
an unwarranted precedent, fraught with
peril to the Catholic Church in the Unit
ed States grave violation of the treaty
of Paris and a fatal departure from the
time honored American principle of sepa-
ration of church and State.
Resolved, that we protest against the
general condemnation of the Friars for
what may have been the errors Of indi-
vidual members of their body, and de-
mand for them that same measure of jus
tice and protection which is so truly ac-
corded all other persons and corporations
under the jurisdiction of the United
States.

WILL RIVAL MORGAN.
Plans Of the Canadian Pacific
Line.

London, July San announcement
from Montreal by Sir Thomas Shaughn-
essy, President of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad that the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, at the request of the Canadian min
listers now In London. offered to establish
and work weekly fast service between
Quebec and Liverpool In the summer and
between Halifax and Liverpool in the
winter was a good freight service. plac-
ing in commission a feet of steamers sec
ond to none afioat as regards speed and
equipment, is causing considerable stir In
England, where II is hailed with delight
as being an offset to j. p. Morgan's ship
ping combine.
The evening papers have flaming pla-
cards reading: =
English combination to fight the Amer
lean trust etc.
The officials of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad here deny that they have any
such intention, but.they as well as others
believe that the long discussed Canadian
fast service is finally approaching reali-
cation. H..
The chief indication of this Is the fact
that the offer was made by the Canadian
Pacific Railroad at the instance of the
Canadian ministers here, and now that
they are fully aware Of the conditions the
AAhPChAoh SONCA 10 PiCPutN0 W az
cede to Lord Strathcona and Mr.. Royal.
The Canadian High Commissioner. in
an interview, said today:
while I am unable to add to the in
formation already published. the terms
are reasonable and probable.
''The reported subsidy of 100000 pounds
shows an advance over the original offer,
but 1t always has been understood that
Great Britain would supplement Canada's
offer, though I am not saying to what
extent"
One of the Canadian Pacific Railroad
directors confirmed to a reporter OF the
Associated Press every particular of the
Canadian Pacific's offer to build and OPP
crate a subsidized line and both he and
others interested are confident that the
project would be accomplished.
The chief requirement Of the imperial
government will be that the steamers
shall become auxiliary cruisers, the same
as the Canadian Pacifc's Railroad ex-
press pacific liners.
The principal points on which the Can
adam government will insist relate to
refrigerating plants, speed and cargo ca
pacity.
It is admitted on all sides that the pres
ent movement was FASTENED by, II II was
not the immediate outcome Of. the forma-
ton Of the immense shipping combine.

cH1CKAMAUGA POST.
Board of ohicers Appointed to Select
a Site.

Washington, July 25.-A board of on
GERS consisting of Major Walter s. Schuy-
Ter. End Cavalry; Major Jefferson r.
Kean. medical department. and Captain
Herbert j. Slocum. It'll Cavalry. has been
appointed to select site for the new mil
itary post at Chicksmauga, Ga.
The board had an informal meeting to-
day and will meet again tomorrow to
receive instructions from the quarter
masters department as to size and num-
Der of buildings and other necessary ap-
purtenances. The military post will be
north of the military park.
The board today looked over various
plans for post. 1t has been decided that
the water for the men shall be obtained
from driven wells, a plentiful supply be-
ing obtainable at ninety feet. The men
now stationed there are thus supplied.
while the horses are supplied from Chick
amauga Creek.
The most important problem the board
will have before 1t is the disposition OF
sewerage, but this, 1t is expected to over
come by the use OF septic tanks, plan
that has been found very satisfactory at
Santiago. The board will go to Chicka-
manga to complete it's work before re-
porting to the Secretary of War.
