The Bulletin would like to have the
Attorney Generals financial agent ex-
plain what the rest of the community
would be doing for coin while the pur
ported gamblers agent was paying him
this tremendous income of s72, 900
over seven per cent on million dol
lars. This is more than the Territory
is losing by the failure to make pay
ment OF the $1.000.0 600 of fire claims
coin. 1t is not to be presumed the
gamblers would pay more than half
their income for protection and on this
basis it is fair to draw the concur
sion that the gamblers contemplate
making something over fourteen per
cent on a million dollars from gam
bling operations in this town.

The attitude of the local papers on

and makes appropriate comment. The
Independent which, next to the Star,
is the most intelligent evening paper

A sudden exclamation from my mas
ter interrupted me. and turned In

recovered himself Immediately, how
ever.
"Dr. Squires and Miss stetson. you

Eyes. SIR"
Then with admirable composure and
with great tact he said:
"Oh. yes; I forgot to tell you, VII
liam. that they were coming here to
lunch today. Have a good lunch for
them at 2"
Then he hurriedly changed his coat
and appeared In the courtyard In time
to greet the guests. Through the open
doors I could hear their voices.
"How do you do, Charles? Ready
for early visitors? I didn't believe you
were up yetT
1t was the loud. gruff voice Of the
doctor. Then a feminine voice said
apologetically. thought:
"Good morning, Charles! was out
riding this morning with my man, and
we met DR.. Squires. He insisted that
we should come around here. So |
consented provided he would promise
to make you go off for ride with u.s."
Eyes, that was the agreement. and to
make my word good you must get
ready and CO."
"Well, l hadn't thought Of going out
this morning, but l will accompany
you If you will both agree to come
back here and take lunch"
That's the man Of business"
laughed the doctor. HE exacts a fee
for everything he gives. He won't even
ride with US, Miss Belle, unless we
swear to return and lunch with him.
Well, as for my part agree to 1t, for
Charles always tempts me with his
good lunches"
I could not hear the replies as they
moved into the parlor, but l knew
enough to convince me that my master
was very sensitive about his jealousy

A poEM BY sToNEWALL JACKSON.

A POEM BY sTONEWALL JACKSON
The Richmond Times is authority fol-
the statement that t,.is poem was writ
ten by Stonewall Jackson while he was
serving with the army in the Mexican
war:
The tatto ,s beRts-the lights are gone
The camp around in slumber lies:
The night with solemn pace moves on,
The chadows thicken DER the skies;
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown
And sad uneasy thoughts arise.
I think of thee, o, dearest one,
Whose love my only life hath blest-
OF thee and him-our baby son
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast.
God Of the tender, frail and lone,
Oh, guard the tender sleeper's rest.
And hover gently. hover near
To her, whose watchful eye is wet
To mother, wife-the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly
met
Two streams Of love 80 deep and clear
And cheer her dropping spirits yet.
Whatever fate those forms may show,
Loved with q passion almost wild
BY day-by night-in Joy or woe
BY fears oppressed, or hopes beguAed,
From every danger, every foe,
o, God, protect my wife and child.
Now, while she kneels before Thy
throne,
O, teach her, ruler of the skies.
That, while by Thy behest alone,
Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise,
No tear Is wept to Thee unknown,
No hair Is lost, no sparrow dies!
That Thou can'st stay the ruthless
hands,
OF dark disease, and soothe its pain;
That only by Thy stern commands
The battles lost, the soldiers slain
That from the distant sea or land
Thou bring'st the wanderer home
again.
And when upeaa her pillow, lone
Her tear-wet cheek Is sadly prest,
May happier visions beam upon
The Frightening current Of her breast,
No frowning look nor angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath Of her rest.

These sturdy little ponies are, there
fore. q part Of the romance which
hangs about this quaint part Of North
Carolina. There are persons who hold
that Raleigh's colonists first landed on
shackleford's banks and later went to
the isle Of Roanoke, where they built
their fort, because 1t was more defen-
sible place. and that they left the "lit-
tie Barbary horses" on these banks un-
til better times should come.
The banks" at Hatteras and also to
the southwark were even within many's
memory far more heavily wooded than
they are now, the overwhelming sand
dunes, or moving mountains Of sand.
having swallowed up large stretches Of
forest. AS the dunes pass on, moved
by the winds, they leave only stumps
Of trees, or at most mere snags, polish,

1t In One Of the Darkest Chapters In
the History Of the World.
Whatever the desires and purposes Of
President Roosevelt may be relative to
the black man and his rights. he must
realize that his views and designs do
not stand fully approved by Republican
senators. The appointment Of Mr.
Byrnes was turned down because of the
unsatisfactory record of the man. In
the Crum case it must have been diff
ferent. Before nominating him, the
president made 1t point to investigate
his record. He declared in an open let
ter that any weakness or defect in the
record of DR.. Crum would be considered
and held against him, but not his color.
1t Is evident that distinguished men,
bers Of the party are not with him IN
his policy relating to the appointment
Of Negroes to public offices.
This fact was brought out by Secre-
tary Root in his New York speech-a
remarkable speech in its way. Mr..
Root conceded that the constitutional
amendments and the laws enacted for
the purpose Of granting the suffrage to
the Negro in the south and protecting
him in its enjoyment have failed. And
now, thirty or more years after their
enactment, the Negro Is disfranchised
in every state where he constitutes any
considerable portion of the population.
The New York Tribune and other Re-
publican journals attempt to account
for the change, while justifying the
policy and conduct Of the party to
which they belong. They charge the
Negroes failures up to the wrong peo-
pie and to the wrong party. This leads
the Baltimore Sun to reply in an able
presentation Of the truth. The Sun
notes that, in the first place, it Is re-
cognized fact that the amendments
comforting political rights upon the Ne
groes were never regularly adopted by
three-fourths Of the states, as the con-
stitution requires. They were in fact
forced upon the country by the military
power and against the will Of the peo-
pie. The Baltimore contemporary
adds:
But, notwithstanding this fact, the
Negro enjoyed the unrestricted right to
vote during a portion Of the admins
tration Of Andrew Johnson and during
the two administrations Of Gen. Grant.
It was the white people of the south
who were disfranchised for a period OF
more than ten years and the Negroes,
backed by the United States army, had
an ample opportunity to show their
capacity of self-government and their
fitness for the exercise Of the SUI
frage. Figures may give some little
idea of the results Of unrestricted Ne
gro suffrage during that terrible time.
But neither words nor figures can make
an adequate description Of the satur-
MALTA of grand and petty larceny OF
violence, of plunder, or fraud, OF lust
and of every crime in the Newgate CAL
endar. Not even the most laW-abiding
nor the quietest citizen was safe from
violence. Thousands and tens Of thou
sands of citizens upon the f1imsiest
charges and without a particle OF EVIL
dence, were torn from their homes and
families and cast into prison. In North
Carolina the legislature authorized the

and It was q satisfaction to look at all
this wealth even though had no right
In any Of it. The curious circumstance
that should ever be placed as guard
over so much treasure amused me and
Induced speculations in my mind about
the uncertainties and inconsistencies
of life. A man of my profession must
Of necessity be something OF a philos-
opher. How else could he accept the
continual risk Of capture and convic-
ton and silence all qualms Of fear and
conscience when engaged on delicate
and dangerous jobs? There are ups
and downs In every life, suppose. but
none more so than In that Of the pro-
fessional burglar.
The second day Of my installation as
butler In the house was marked by an
interesting event. DR.. Squires and
Miss Stetson both appeared at lunch.
This meeting was not premeditated
by my master. 1t was apparently
purely accidental.
About noon the two visitors appeared
at the house on horseback. My mas
ter did not see them at first. He was
smoking in his dressing room when
the clatter Of horses hoofs on the hard,
gravelly drive attracted his attention. /

and my master on her left with bis
fine white Arabian mare. It was q
spectacular sight to watch them, know.
ing as did something Of their lives. I
wondered which she would select in
the end-the black or the white?
Promptly at they returned, little
fatigued by the ride, but jovial and In
excellent spirits.
When the doctor came into the dining
room, scrudnized him carefully. he
gave me no particular notice, and this
left me to myself to examine him. My
distant view through the f1eldglasses
had been pretty correct but on closer
examination he revealed the most dis
tinct features of his face-his coal
black, brilliant and restless eyes. These
eyes never laughed, not even when he
was convulsed with merriment. They
were always cold, penetrating and, as
thought, sardonic. They seemed to
repel and fascinate at once. They cas-
lily dominated everything that came
under their sway.
He was talkative and lively to de-
gree. forming the life Of the party, but
the eyes that so attracted seldom took
notice of me. An uncomfortable desire
to have them centered on me for an in
stant to fathom their meaning seized
me. To accomplish this spilled some
of the salad dressing on his coat sleeve.
He turned a wrathful look at me, and
had one long. steady gaze into those
eyes. So intent was that forgot to
be confused at my mishap. The Incl.
dent occupied only a minute, but in
that short space had read the char
acter Of the man.
what sort Of servants do you have
here. CharlesT he broke out savagely
when the dressing filtered down from
his coat sleeve to the floor.
My master looked annoyed and quick
ly apologized.
"He is a new man, doctor, and you
must overlook this accident"
The conversation flowed on freely
after that. and the mishap was soon
forgotten.
When the wine and cigars were
brought. they retired to an open bal
cony just Off the dining room. Through
the open window could still hear
their talk Most Of 1t was Of little
consequence to me. but finally the
words of the doctor made me prick up
my ears.

"Yes, can get them and make you

doctor slowly.
