A Sea Lyric.


There Is no music that man has heard
Like the voice of the minstrel Sea.
Whose major and minor chords arc
fraught
With infinite mystery.
For the Sea Is harp, and the winds OF
God
Play over his rhythmic breast,
And bear on the sweep Of their mighty
wings
There Is no passion that man has sung
Like the love of the deep soulcd Sea
Whose tide responds to the Moons soft
light
With marvellous melody.
For the Sea is harp, and the winds OF
God
Play over his rhythmic breast.
And bear on the sweep OF their mighty
wings
The song of n vast unrest.
There is no sorrow that man has known
Like the grief of the Wordless Main
Whose Titan bosom forever thrUbs
Win AN untranSlated pain.
For the Sea Is a harp, and the winds of
God
Play over his rhythmic breast
And bear on the sweep of their mighty
wings
The song Of vast unrest.

An Elusive Criminal

THE most peculiar experience in all
my professional career" said the Sc
cret service man, occurred in a small
but ambitious city in Missouri. ! do
not believe ! ever related all the par
tculars, even to my most intimate
friends, and | am sure my official re-
ports failed to relate the story in its
entirety.
Il was in search of young man,
who was wanted for using the mails
to defraud. and | had reason to believe
that he was hiding in this little Mis-
souri, city. | had not traced him to
the place, but | based my belief on my
knowledge of his habits: coupled with
the information that he had relatives
in NJ.
so | took two men and went to NJ
to investigate. We put up at an OBJ
scure lodging house, and l made eau
tious inquiries. ! found many who
were we'll acquainted with the man l
was after, for he had been a frequent
visitor in the place, but none of them
had seen him for several months.
Moreover l learned that the relatives
who. had been led to believe. were
concealing him. were the mayor of the
city and his family.
Now, the mayor aside from having
an excellent reputation for honor and
honesty, was one of the leading poll
ticians of the state.
Firmly believing that the naycr
was harboring criminal, dare not
lnt l. hat
such a thing unless was absolutely
certain that such was the fact. For. il
I was wrong, the mayor. who very
naturally would feel highly indignant
at me, would doubtless take such ac-
ton as would certainly result in my
losing my official head.
Still, my sixth sense told me that |
had my man located, and l have al
ways found my sixth sense unerring.
In my extremity enlisted the aid OF
a man and his wife, in whom | knew |
could place implicit confidence, and to
them | explained the situation. They
were neighbors of the mayor and his
family and they agreed to assist me.
Following my suggestion, the hus-
band called upon the mayor at his
Office, and the wife called upon the
family at their home, at the same
hour of the day. Thus, separately and
apart, the mayor and his wife were
casually questioned about their nephew
who, it was rumored, was visiting
them.
Both expressed genuine surprise at
the question, and both. with all the
semblance Of candor and truthfulness.
denied that they had seen the nephew
for several months.
THE woman whose services | had
secured went even further. With
great adroitness she obtained permis-
sion to examine every room in the
house under pretense of inspecting
the arrangements of the building. But
she saw not the slightest thing to in
dicate that anyone was in hiding.
Boys said I, I am positive the
man is in that house, and | am going
to find him. | intend to burglarize the
place tonight. If | am discovered !

SILVER GOING UP.

New York, March 27.-As the
result Of purchase by the United
States government yesterday oi
2Jo,oDo ounces Of silver at fraction
over ~ cents an ounce. the price OF
bar silver here To day jumped from
iss yesterday To 49, cents today.
There is confident hope of 30 cents
an ounce in the near future. The
government demands will require
i,Un,Eo a month for about two
years.
This leads one 10 wonder what an
unlimited demand at sl2q pel
ounce would accomplish and whether
the republican party has not con-
xicted itself Of most fragrant chican-
cry and political hypocrisy when
after its leaders had exhausted the
vocabulary Of vile adjectives against
silver. these same leaders find il
necessary 10 buy twice as much
silver every month as the Sherman
law allowed in order to keep ur
prices and increase the volume a
money 50 we can continue having
good times.
