James Whitcomb Riley's new book Of
verse, His Pas Romance" was published
by the Bobbs-Merrill Company on Thanks
giving day. The book takes its title from
that of the first and largest poem, which
is already familiar to many readers of
the Ladies' Home Journal, where it was
published several months ago.
The new book contains a few old friends
and many new ones. On several of the lat
ter lovers of Riley will seize with pleasure
as being in his best, most characteristic
manner. almost Beyond Endurance is as
good a child-rhyme as he has ever written,
and ''The Lisper." "Uncle Doc" Twilight

place among his most popular poems. al

Cannon and His Friend Sibley Sail

Up and Down Potomac.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch
Uncle Joe Cannon has taken to yachting
as a proper diversion for a speaker of the
House of Representatives. So far as known
no other presiding officer ever became in
terested in yachting on the Potomac, but
this may be because he is the first to have
an opportunity to indulge his taste for such
sport. His good friend 10 Sibley has a fine

all very fine.
The first time brother 10 Sibley came to
Congress ii was as a Democrat in an old
fashioned railroad train. He had a hard
time to get elected and was glad to have
right to kick through the green baize doors
that formerly guarded the legislative hall.

constituents saw no sense in his claim. The

Once upon a time on THANKSGIVING
proud little girl was walking along with her

AS she was walking along she saw a poor

is in strict compliance with our national
duty.
There is little doubt of the upshot of the
Panama troubles. The province will secure
its independence in the absence of any Sc
rious attempt on the part of Colombia to
conquer the rebellion. This will be followed
by treaty between the Republic of Pan
anna and the United States under which
our country will exercise a more substan-

canal. And we may say confidently that
all this will be accomplished without a
deviation from the best precedents Of our
national policy or from the honorable
usages of the civilized world.

put when they are quite young they will die
at the smallest provocation. Well, the wet
spring certainly did great deal of damage
to the turkey crop, reduced 1t to a very
great extent.
THE crop was short for some reason last
year, and the farmers in trying TO keep up
with the demand undoubtedly killed their
stock as close as they dared thus reducing
the breeding stock. with the natural conse-
quence that the brood this year was not so
numerous. That is another and n very ap-

A New Electric Heater.
New York Evening Post.

NEW 1OTk Evening foSt
A new electric heater for rapid work has
been invented by Havana engineer, and
is thus described by the Scientific American:
1.-THE inventor claims that with his little
electric heater half a pint of water can be
raised from freezing point to the boiling
point in only four or five minutes. The
heater may be cheaply made, as will be
readily seen from the following description
of its construction: The handle OF the de-
vice, which is made of insulating material,
is secured to tube cylinder of metal
which surrounds core of porcelain formed
with spiral groove to receive the resist
ance wire. The spiral coil of the core may
be cut on an engine lathe by means Of a
diamond or quartz point. The resistance
wire is a small platinum wire which, at its
lower end, Is secured by means of a set
screw TO the metal plug which closes the
bottom of the cylinder.
THE other end of the heating wire is
connected to one Of the main wires or lamp
cords which pass out through the handle.
The other lamp cord is electrically con-

THE JOURNALS POETS.
The Old Songs.

All In dear. familiar room.
At twilight growing dim.
Sing TO my heart no sweeter song
Than some old sacred hymn
That calls across forgotten years
To thoughts that strangely seem
To wake. and thrill with vocal life
The hopeless joys we dream.
Lost chords in all their beauty sweep
Across responsive keys
Called by the passion OF a voice
Alone the chief of these
The wierd and wistful witchery
master bow can win
At twilight from the soul that lives
Within a violin.
Perhaps some other way is known
To reach and read at last
Our title clear to joy that holds
The rocks Of ages fast.
But mortal man has never found
One sweetly solemn thought
That some divinely human voice
Has not his conscience taught
The tender songs of Aud Lang Syns
Were written oft in tears.
Such as the Lover of my soul
Had shed to save my fears.
But life forgets its sweetest Joy
To waste in cruel fray
The strength that should in sympathy
Close every festive day.
In every haunted human heart,
Some sweetest note concealed
A blessing to our common lot,
Had happily revealed
II softly whispered to it's fear,
When twilight fancies throng
The tired day, the hopefulness
Heard in a helping song.
In such little selfish world
OF scattered hopes and dreams
Try as we will. the victory
Only failure seems
II we have lost the perfect key
BY which life is attuned
And may not find it's harmony
Thro' old sweet songs communed.
We search the kingdoms OF the world
For crowns our pride would try.
To give them all for rest We knew
In loves lost lullaby,
And tho we gain the universe,
To hold II hard and fast,
We sigh for some sweet song that may
Redeem our soul at last.
So, In dear, familiar room,
At twilight growing dim.
Sing to my heart no sweeter song
Than some old sacred hymn
That calls across forgotten years
To thoughts that strangely seem
To wake, and thrill with vocal life
The hopeless joys We dream.
