THE OLD SWEETHEART.

Long years ago she won my love, 9
love that yet is warm
AS when it first burst into light upor
the old home farm
A love that death alone can dim, and
when our souls arise
Twill burn again with added light
up yonder in the skies.
We look into each others eyes and
read our story there.
As dear as ere the frost of time had
touched her wreath of hair;
A story tinged with gold of love In
every tender line,
And ever sweet to me as to that old
sweetheart of mine.
In early years when clouds OF care
tinged all my clouds with gray,
Her smile would, as CHEEKY sun,
drive every cloud away,
And in the magic of her kiss the world
would seem more bright
A magic that oft put the dark winged
birds of care to flight.
Fen yet when by the care of life an
noyedsor sore distressed,
love to lay my troubled head upon
her loving breast
And listen to the cheery words that
flow as sweet as wine
From the smiling lips Of mother dear,
that old sweetheart of mine.

Judge Reagan Thinks the Republic
Doomed.

John 81. Reagan, Postmaster
General of the Confsderacy and
the sole survivor of jefferson Davis
Cabinet, who celebrated his eighty
fifth birthday on the 9Th inst. in
an interview, says:
81 feel that the American Re-
public is doomed. In that event
Texas is the hope of the people
for free, representative government.
Some day there will be at least
thirty million more people in this
State than there are now. 1 do
not want Texas to be divided.
When Texas was admitted into
the Union the right wss reserved
to make five States of the territory
embraced in Texas. That should
never be done. / do not base my
opposition upon the pride that all
Texans have in the territorial great
ness of their State The reason
Texas must never be divided is
this: There-can be but two kinds
of republics. the confederation of
States and the centralized govern
ment, the latter of which becomes
nothing in the end but mon-
arohy.
The United States is drifting
rapidly into a monarchial form of
government. 1t is even now gov
erned by money. The power of
the financial interests is paramount
to the power of the people. The
result will be the dissolution of
the confederaoy of States, or a
monarchical form of government.
1 want Texas to be big enough to
stand alone, to be once more the
Republic of Texas. when the dis
solution of the Union shall come.
That is reason enough for never
dividing this State"

Waiting for the Train.

Hello, Ribsl He amt on this
trainI" Thus brakeman or bag
gage master greets big black and
white dog which every evening
trots down to the station in small
Pennsylvania town to meet the
train on which his master used to
come home home. The Indianap-
oils Sentinel tells the story:
Ribs master has not como on
the train for many months. He was
the conductor of train which was
wrecked and was killed. But Ribs
has never missed a train. He
stands on the platform wagging
his tail. his tongue hanging out, an
expression of anxious hope in his
big eyes, waiting for his master.
When one of his trainmen ex-
plains, HE amt on this train" the
red tongue goes slowly back into
the big mouth, the strong jaws
close. the shaggy tail drops. and
Ribs turns and walks back to his
kennel. But on the following day
he appears promptly in time for
his masters usual train and waits
until some one of the plying train
hands tells him. He amt come in
yet"

THE GREAT INSIDE IEN.p
wonderful Hotel Built and Conduct
ed by a West virginian.

~4e1I = " 80 v - . @~-@----"
Many people have heard of the
wonderful Inside In," now being
built on the Worlds Fair grounds
at st. Louis, but few comparatively
are aware that the protector and
proprietor of this great caravansary
the largest the world has ever
+seen-is former West Virginian.
in the person of Col. E Nj. Statler,
who until five years ago was in
business in Wheeling. where he
was born and bred. Since then he
has conducted the restaurant of the
Ellioott Square office building in
Buffalo, and in 1901 conducted the
great Ststler's Hotel near the Pan
American Exposition grounds in
that city. His success there caused
the Worlds Fair officials to engage
him to take up the "Inside Inn"
project at st. Louis. This hotel
is located inside the Worlds Fair
grounds, and is the only one SO
situated. 1t will have 5000 rooms
with a capacity of 5000 guests.
Here the visitor can spend week
or more, and see the fair consecu-
lively without once leaving the
grounds if he SO desires. At no
other fair has anything like this
been possible.

YictorY in che Air.

The reports Of the refusal Of
Senator Hanna to serve as national
chairmsn during the next oam-
paign are especially significant in
view of the known fact that the
Ohio senator is at outs with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The reports. once
SO strenuously denied, are now al
lowed togo nnqnestioned and there
is little doubt that Hanna has end
cd his career as national chairman.
Somebody has been dumped.
The only question is as to whether
Roosevelt has dropped Hanna or
Hanna has dropped Roosevelt. and
the democratic party doesn't need
to worry over the proposition. In
either case the fact that there is 8
terrible row on among the repub-
Iican bosses is patent, and that
means greatly increased prospects
Tor democratic victory next year.
The party needs a strong organizes
tion with strong men at its head,
and the party is going to have
them.
The republican party have drunk
too deeply OF power It has gone
too far along paths of arrogance
and iniquity. 1t is nearing the
end OF its days of unquestioned
control and the time of accounting
is coming fast. There is promise
OF demooratio victory in the very
air. Its coming is as certain as
the rising and the setting of the
sun. With unity of purpose and
wisdom Of policy the democrats
can win in the next campaign
with long pull and strong
pull and pull altogether" the con-
troll of the country is to be wrested
from unfit hands.-Indianapolis

Get One.

A baby is joy forever until he

story window, turn over the water
pitcher, hammer the china to pieces
with his fork and investigate the
medicine bottles ON the shelf.
Every baby is eternally trying to
find out more than he has any
business knowing, and the habit
of asking questions. The touch of
a baby's hand opens up heaven to
woman, and makes a man willing
to wear patches the rest of his nat
ural life. It has been said that
every woman is entitled to at least
one child. So is every man, but
nobody has ever mentioned the
fact.

not be amiss further to observe,
that il the scheme for establishing

Rando1ph and the Ronifaee.

''Many yarns have been told of
that irascible, though brilliant and
keen witted statesman. John
Randolph of Roanoke" said an old
resident to party of friends. Il
never had the pleasure of meeting
the distinguished Virginian myself
but some of my relatives many
years older than myself knew him
personally.
"One Of the most amusing anec-
dotes 1 ever heard of him related
to an event that happened in Vir-
ginia at one of the roadside inns
where the famous Senator, in the
course of a business journey, had
been forced by the coming on Of
darkness to tarry for a night. The
landlord made everything as COM
Portable as he possibly could for
his guest. who by retiring manners
made it evident he would not allow
any approaches of sociability.
Bonifaoe could not, however, re-
! frain from asking the Senator as
he mounted his horse to ride away
in the morning in which direction
he was travelling.
"Mr. Randolph said: is my bill
settledf Do I owe you anything2''

erything is perfectly correct, Mr..

Then said the departing states

understand I am going where

-Randolph rode ON, but soon
came to a place where the roads
forked. He was non-plussed and
decided to return and inquire OF
the deeply insulted landlord which
of the two roads he should take tc
reach his destination.

Being rather skeptical asto wheth-

he got a man to take him round to
some of the best places. He spoke
in such a tone of command that
the man was annoyed and determin-

took him to a hill just near the ale
house door and said: "Shout as
