There be Arias pulsing on ears hat
are dumb
There be grandest of poems hath
never been heard;
The magicians of music, whose lips
shall be dumb,
Till unfolding Intention shall say
the glad word;
Shall the gamuts long silent ne'er
give up the tones
Of their limitless potence of pos
sible song?
Shall those Princes of verse eve
come to the thrones
Of their title supreme, nor fill up the
wide zones
Of the gladdening earth while it
gleefully owns
The approaching of harmonies wait
ed for long?
o, it must be a part of the dominant
scheme!
That, enfranchised and free as the
light on the waves,
Shall the song, never heard but in
Prophets wild dream,
Make the answer at last, that en-
larges and saves!
0, Poets, mute!-O, rhythmic
men!-
Somewhere -Somewhenl
There be acts and the actors await
ing their day,
There be weary and moiling ones
looking for rest,
There be sculptors and limners ex-
pectant Away,
There be poets and singers await
ing Gods hest;
Must those long-waiting souls be for
ever denied
The fulfllment of hope and the
need of renown?
Shall the less be enthroned at the
last in it's pride,
And the limitless mind cover down
at its side,
While the impish of spirit shall jeer
and deride
The ~undiademed great, when it
fails of it's crown?
o, it must not be so, in the fast-com-
ing years,
Sweeping on with the guerdon for
manhood unknownl
1t hath Away been else in the dream
ing of Seers-
And fulfllment of Prophecy set
teth her throne!
o, manhood great!-Ye longing
men!-
Somewhere i-Somewhen

Why did the town nestle among the
hills2
Why did she feel a mantling blush
steal over her cheeks?
How did it happen hat a strange
sense of unrest swept over him?
What was it that she swept out of
the room?
Why did she never look more
strangely beautiful than upon that
evening?
What made him feck the ashes
from his cigarette?
How long did her heart stand still!
Who deserted the ballroom, and
Who deserted the ballroom, and
why?
Why did the cold wind that famed
their cheeks feel so good?
Why did it seem to her as If all
the life had gone out of her young
life.2
What made the house stiller than
death that night?
When confronted by the lawyers
why was he yisibly affected?
Why was she the life of the whole
gathering when her heart told her
that all was lost?
Why did the dog look up at thaU
moment and wag his tail, as II ne

What choked his u~tterance!
What made her look back on tna'

Why was there a long pause!
Why were her hands so nerVeleS'

What made her suspect that 10

Why did he clutch the phOtograp"

Anecdotes of " uncle Joe" Cannon.

GASS0OS@S
In his article on "Uncle Joe Can
non as Speaker" in the December
Worlds Work, Otto Carmichael tells
some new stories about the pictu-
rescue Congressman from Illinois.
While serving his second term In
Congress, he was driving on a muddy
road in March, after the adjourn
ment of a short session, when he met
a township supervisor, who said:
"Joe, do they dock you when you
are away from Congress"
"No; my wages run on just the
same" said Uncle Joe.
"The township don't pay people
when they don't work." said the far
mer.
81 expect it would be better to-dock
us when we don't work." replied On
Gle Joe gravely.
A Democratic member once ven
tured to challenge one of his senti-
ments.
"Mr. Blank is mistaken" sharply
replied Cannon. This form of denial
was contrary to the rules because it
mentioned a member by name instead
of as "the gentleman from Indiana"
The offended Democrat called the
Speakers attention to the breach of
rules. The Speaker explained, and
instructed the new member to pro-
coed in order. With a sweeping and
courteous bow, which has since be-
come famous, MI. Cannon said:
off the venerable august gentle
man who is such a stickler for the
rules will bear with me, I beg to in
form him that he lies under a mis-
take"
Once, after a New York Demo
cratic Congressman finished a high
falutin speech, full of partizan criti-
cism of the Republican party, Mr..
Cannon said:
"Now we will esume the regular
order and fool the people some more"

GAUSS HAS ARRIVED
German Antarctic Steamer
Reaches Simonstown.
EXPEDITION WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
A New Country Was Discovered aud
Named Emperor william II. Land.
Expedition Brings No News of
the steamer Discovery.

SIMONSTOWN, Cape Colony, June
10.--Thc German antarctic steamer
Gauss has arrived here and will re-
main about three weeks to refit and
then will proceed homeward. I ne YES
tel shows outward signs of her eXpe-
rienccs in the ice. The expedition has
been a great success, and not a single
casualty occurred among those on
board throughout her stay in the ant
arctic regions.
After sailing from Cape Town Dec.
{, 1901, the Gauss called at Kcrguelen
island where a party was landed. Tho
vessel reached floating ice Feb. IA,
1902, and was iccbound on Feb. % in
latitude $3.50 and west longitude 90.
The expedition discovered a new land,
which theJ named Emperor William
ii. Land. 1t was covered with ice with
the exception Of an inactive volcano.
The expedition was icebound here for
almost a year, the ship being fast in
pack ice. The crew went into winter
quarters, and many scientific investiga-
tions were carried out during this pc
riod.
Several expeditions with dogs and
sleighs left the winter quarters, but
found the season too advanced, and
their progress was hampered by fear
full snowstorms and darkness. The
Gauss made her way out of the ice
with northward flowing currents, and,
leaving the ice April of this year,
she proceeded to Durham, passing Ker-
guelen island and calling at st. Paul
and New Amsterdam islands.
The expedition enjoyed good health,
and there was no sickness, accident or
death among its members. Professor
Drygalski speaks in the highest terms
of the vessel both at sea and in the
ice and as regards its equipment. There
were enough provisions on board to
last the expedition another two years.
The results of the expedition are
briefly: The discovery of a new land in
the polar circle and innumerable inves-
legations of interest to scientists. Spec
linens will be sent on ahead to Berlin.
The expedition did not sight the Brit
ish antarctic expedition steamer Dis
covery, now icebound in the antarctic
regions, nor the ship Morning which
was sent to the Discovery's assistance.

O'CONNOR'S ULTlMATUM.
Aneer of Figuig Must Come In and
submit.

BENI-OUNIF, Algeria, June TO-
During the day ENJOYS from seven vii
lagos around Figuig came to make
their submission to the French COM
mander, offering to accept any terms
General O'Connor refused to receive
them, saying he would only treat with
the ameer or with the head men of the
villages personally. AS Figuig was in
dependent and did not recognize the
suzerainty of the sultan of Morocco,
General O'Connor would only see those
whose authority was recognized by
each tribe.
The general is skeptical regarding
the promise of surrender owing to the
fanaticsm of the population. The rails
ing of the standard of holy war by
any chief would lead to the promises
being repudiated. General O'Connor
has decided TO wait twenty-four hours.
when If the head men have not made
their submission he will resume opera
tons.
The inhabitants of Figuig are ter
rorizcd by the power of the French
shells, which reduced the town to
mass Of ruins and they are particu-
larly impressed by the fact that the
French did not have a single man
killed or wounded.

THE WELCOME RAINFALL.
Relief Comes at Inst For sun Dried
Lands.

NEW YORK, June S.-As n forerun-
ner of the rainfall came the slight driz-
zle that settled over New York city
yesterday morning, but the center of
the trail of rain is in the direction of
Syracuse and Rochester.
There was very heavy rainfall in
Detroit. Nearly three inches of rain
descended, and the downpour contin-
ued late into the night.
Conditions are favorable for the first
time in ffty-two days for relief from
the drought that has proved so calaml-
tous for New York eastern Pennsylva-
mia, New Jersey and New England.
The drought was broken at Hoosick
Falls, n. Y, after lasting fifty-two
days. Rain began to fall early yester-
day afternoon, lasting long enough to
give the farmers some relief and to en-
courage those who are replanting and
trusting to late crops. 1t has come too
late to save the grass upon which
farmers depend for pasturage, as that
growth was burned up weeks ago. The
rain has helped to extinguish the forest
fires I'm this vicinity.
Half an inch of rain fell in the Mo
hawk valley. None fell in the lower
part of the Adirondacks where the
fires are raging.
In many churches throughout Or
ange and Sullivan counties special
thanksgivings were offered for the rain
which fell continuously. There is great
rejoicing over the prospect of saving
the crops.
For the first time in several days the
sun was not obscured at Saratoga.
n. Y. by smoke and ashes from the
forest fires in the Adirondncks. A
slight shower fell, and the indications
point to more rain.
The long drought in the Glens Falls
On. " section was broken yesterday
afternoon. The smoke in the atmos-
phere cleared away almost entirely.
and for the first time in several days
blue sky was seen. Telephone mes
sages received here from North Creek
and from Newcomb state that there
was no change in the forest fire situa-
ton. The wind was blowing and the
fires spreading slowly, but the situa-
ton is not considered serious.
The long drought was partially re!
licved at Newport Il. l., by rainfall
lasting all day, being the first rain in
several weeks. 1t will be of immense
benefit to vegetation, which has every
where suffered almost irreparable
damage from the continued dry wealth
er.
Rain fell plentifuly nearly all day
yesterday at Upper Montclair, n. J.
Gardeners and residents generally
were rejoicing at the seeming end of
the long drought.
Considerable rain fell in the Adiron-
dacks yesterday forenoon and last
night Preceding IT the wind blew
from the south for several hours, and,
while it turned the flames in Il new di-
rection and away from valuable prop
erty endangered here, the strength of
it caused some alarm. AS rain had
not fallen in fifty days TO any appre-
ciable extent, when it did come there
was tremendous rejoicing.

CLOUDBURST RUINS TOWNS.
PncoIet and Clifton Inundated and
Many Lives Lost.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June S.-By
a cloudburst, followed by tornado,
ruin has been worked upon a great
portion of what is known as the Cliff

which occurred at an early hour Sat
urday, is believed to have destroyed at
least $4,OOO,OOO worth of property and
TO have cost scores of lives. Railroad
