Only a SONG.
KANSAS

1t was only a song, when the world was
May
And the birds were singing that world
away;
When L heard your heart beat
In the blossoms so sweet,
And Midnight and Morning had one word
to say:
81 love you in darkness-I love you in
day.!
1t was only song when the world was
May
And l dreamed not of Winter and Sorrows
that Stay;
When / said God hath furled
His storm-hags DER the world"
And His excellent angels had one word to
say:
II love you in darkness love you in
day!
1t was only song; and the flowers decay
But song is like Memory over Life's May;
And the same song is ringing
The same heart is singing,
And the world and the great stars have
one word to say:
Il love you in darkness-I love you In
day."

Another Goose.

The sable cook who presides over
the kitchen of a Boston house was fired
with Indignation one day when she
saw a goose which had been sent by
the butcher for the family's Sunday
dinner.
''Don't-don't you think it's good
goose, Hester?" timidly inquired the
butchers boy, who stood in great awe
of the bog cook.
swat you mean by good goose,
boy?" sternly demanded the irate
Hester, as she shook the offending
fowl at him. MAY hab been a good
goose in her day, fo' all knows, but
wat you got to do now is to kyarry de
po' ole ting back to de butcher, and
say to him dat he's made mistake.

Solitary stood at the brink of the
forest, looking after them and mus
ing sadly. lob, despite his lowly sta
ton, was a man l cared for more
than many. Like all seamen, I knew
that he paid his devotions to one of
the obscurer gods, but till then I had
supposed him devout in his worship.
His new avowal came to me as des-
olating shock. If a man like lob
could forsake all the older gods to
set up on high some poor mortal who
had momentarily caught his fancy,
what could be expected from the
mere thoughtless mob when swayed
by such a brilliant tongue as Pho
renice's? It seemed as if I was to
begin my exile with new dreariness

poets of Atlantis.

the banks, fires lit, and the meat

when as much was cured as the ship

final gorge on what remained, filed
up great stack of hollow reeds with
drinking water, and were ready to
continue the voyage.

looked down and did their work from
another place, there have always beer
areas of the land ill-adapted for his
maintenance, but none more SO than
that part of Atlantis which lies over
against the savage continents of Eu-
rope and Africa. The common peo-
pie avoid it, because of superstition
which says that the spirits of the
evil dead stalk about there in broad
daylight, and Stay all those that the
tmore open dangers of the place might
otherwise spare. And so it has hap
Ipened often that the criminals who
might have fled there from justice
have returned of their own free will
and voluntarily given themselves up
to the tormentors rather than face its
! fabulous terrors.
To the educated, many of these
legends are known to be mythical;
but withal there are enough disqui-
etudes remaining to make life very
arduous and stocked with peril.
Everywhere the mountains keep their
contents on the boil; earth tremors
are every days experience; gushes OF
unseen evil vapors' steal upon one with
l -
often hard to flee in time before one
is choked and killed; poisons we'll up
into the rivers, yet leave their color
unchanged; great cracks split across
the ground, reaching down to the fires
| beneath, and the waters gush into
these, and are shot forth again with
devastating explosions; and always
may be expected great outpourings
of boiling mud or molten rock.
! Yet with all this there are great
somber forests in these lands, with
trees whose age is unimaginable, and
fires among the heritage are rare. All
beneath the trees is water, and the
air is full of warm steam and wetness.
! For a man to live in that constant
hot damp is very notifying to the
! strength. But strength is wanted,
and cunning also beyond the ordinary.
for these Dangerous Lands are the
abode of the lizards, which of all
beasts grow to the most enormous
size, and are the most fearsome to
deal with.
There are countless families and
| species of these lizards, and with soma
of them a man can contend with pros.
pect of success. But there are 9th.
ers whose hugeness no human force
fcan battle against. One 1 saw, as it
| came up out of lake after gaining
its days food, that made the wet land
shake and pulse as it trod. 1t could
have taken Phorenice's mammoth into
tits belly,* and even a mammoth in full
charge could not have harmed it.
Great horny plates covered it's head
and body, and on the ridge of it's back
and tail and limbs were spines that
/. tore great slivers from the black trees
as it passed among them.
*Translator's. Note.-Prof. Reeder, of the
Wyoming state university, has recently
unearthed the skeleton Of Brontosaurus,
! $50 feet in length, which would have
weighed so tons when alive. 1t was 80 feet
in height at the hips, and 25 feet at the
shoulder, and 40 people could be seated
with comfort within it's ribs. It's thigh
| bone was eight feet long. The fossils of a
whole series of these colossal lizards have
been found.

THE KAHUNA AT
WORK ON MAUI

An interesting and illustrative case
of kahunaism was on trial before Judge
McKa-. OF the Waikiki court this week.
In March, Kanohokuahiwi, and his
two sons, Kalani and Kaianui, were
taken sick at their residence, near Wal
hee, and Neau (w) was called in as ka-
huna. In a couple of weeks Kalani
died, and according to the evidence,
just before he died, he mewed like
cat. This, assisted Neau materially in
the diagnosis of the case, and she as
serted that it must have been he that
had killed a favorite cat of her grand
child. She also added that all others
who assisted in killing the cat would
surely die. Now, by a singular coin
cidence, the other two sick members of
the family were the identical ones who
had assisted in despatching the feline.
OF course the case was desperate and
the wife of the sick man went to Neau
and begged her to use her magic pow
ers to cure her sick husband and son.
NBdu dQIiiltteu that III view VI tAC
crime that been committed the task
would be a hard one, but she agreed
to buckle to and see what could be
done. A pig was imued and eaten with
mysterious rites anu incantations to
Wahineaea, and other aumakuas, then
second, a third and finally fourth
pig shared the same unhappy fate.
But all was of no avail, and the father
and remaining son both died.
Then the widow had Neau arrested
for practicing witchcraft. Neau, an
aged but vigorous looking Hawaiian
woman, as she appeared in court, was
an absolutely perfect picture of one of
Macbeth's witches, the same jutting
forehead, bright eyes, wrinkled face,
and peaked, witch-like features, re-
semblance which was added to by the
cone-shaped hat running UP to sharp
point which she wore.
Deputy Sheriff Saffery skillfully
brought out the whole story from the
relatives of deceased who had been
called on to assist at the incantations.
The case was argued and submitted
on Thursday afternoon, and Neau was
found guilty as charged and fined $125.
