MISUNDERSTANDING IN SOUTH.
The I1arm Is Inflicted on the Negro

tests of white citizens of lndianola.
There has lately been remarkable In

LIGHT CHAT WITH BURGLAR
Funny Householder Tries to Follow

The burglar nodded, and passed out

chuckled softly. and when he got up the
next morning he told everybody in the
suburban town who would listen 10 him
of the easy-going little talk he had had

DRUNKEN MINER SELLS SECRET
Tells of Rich Mines Location for 90
Per Cent Of Proceeds.

After three years of vigorous search
Ing for a mine of almost fabulous
wealth, the Hobart estate, which owns
eleven square miles of land in the Sierra
Nevada foothills, concluded to give
Bud Barclay 20 per cent of all that the
mine produced providing he would re-
veal the location OF the ledge to the
owners of the property.
It is now nearly four years since Bar
clay created intense excitement In Car
son and Virginia cities by exhibiting,
while under the influence of liquor,
specimens Of what was said to be some
of the richest gold bearing quartz ever
seen in those parts. Barclay claimed
that while chasing a wounded deer he
was led into thcket, where he made
his remarkable find The assay proved
to be so fabulously rich as to cause Car
son people to doubt the existence OF so
rich a mineral discovery.
The Hobart estate at the time offered
Barclay 10 per cent of all the gold taken
out If he would show down" his mine.
The land in question was taken up
under the congressional act in force
prior to 1879, which allowed those TAX
Ing up timt err lands to control all min
eral found thereon. Thus prospectors
we're prevented from working upon the
estate, which was stealthily watched
by numerous detectives employed by
the Hobart people. with the hope of
stumbling upon the discoverer some
where in the vicinity OF his reported
gold discovery. Every movement of
Barclay wa closely watched by sleuths,
although he always carried a rife and
threatened 20 shoot any one he caught
logging his footsteps. Barclay has at
different times, so II is said, routed in
nocent people out of bed at all hours of
the night, and, confronting them with
a rife. made them swear they were not
hunting for his mine.

the rich ledge They say that Barclays
uncle knew OF the mine and at his death
disclosed its location 70 his nephew. The
old man always seemed to have plenty

also claimed that the location OF the
mine has been a secret In The Barclay
family for years, until ita latest custod-

Her Ingenious Suggestion.

She is little, but she has the true
feminine idea.
A boy of about her own age has been
so devoted to her that 1t has attracted
the attention of his playmates, and the
result has been distressing. He has
been leased until life has become bur
den to him In an effort to escape his
troubles he has forsaken her. His heart
is still true. but he dares not look at
her or speak to her when any OF the
other boys are near.
This being the state of affairs, II will
not be difficult to imagine his distress
when his mother decided to give a
birthday party for him. He made up
his own list of guests, and when it
was finished his mother noted that one
name was missing.
You've left out Mamie" she sug-
gested.
YES" he replied, regretfully. II
want to invite Mamie, but the boys
tease me so about her that am afraid
to do It,
But she'll be offended"
Cant you explain it?" he asked.
His mother laughed, and, meeting
Mamie's mother, told her about the
boys troubles-and such troubles are
very real to boy.
NAMES mother was amused and told
Mamie.
Tommy is very anxious to have you
at his party" she said, but the boys
will tease him go that he is going TO
leave you out"
Here is where the truly feminine ap-
pears. Mamie considered the matter
deeply for few moments, and then
said ingenuously:
We'll why doesn't he leave out the
boys then and invite me?"
When Mamie gets little older she
will find many young men only too de-
lighted TO give parties on exactly that
principle. but very likely her own
views will have changed by that time
at least TO the extent of keeping such
ideas to herself. Brooklyn Eagle

OFT IN THE Silly NIGHT.

One OF the most popular of modern
song writers was Thomas Moore, who
not only wrote the words, but frequent
ly composed the music. He was also an
accomplished musician and singer, and
has been known 10 sit down at the
piano and in a few minutes composed
the words and music of song and sing
II.
Tom Moore was born upstairs over a
grocery store in Angler street, Dublin,
Ireland, May rs, 1879. While the father
was attending to his duties downstairs
In his shop the mother devoted herself
to taking care of her babies and house
hold work upstairs. She was woman
of more than ordinary intellect and
character, and for her Toms love never
diminished After the death of both
over 1000 letters, written in the most
endearing terms by him, were found
among her Napers.
His marriage to Bessie Dyke, an
actress. was a happy one but much sor-
row came to him in his late years. His
eldest son turned out badly the second
son died in youth and his only daughter
met tragic fate She was kissing her
hand 10 her father as he was going
down the stairs one day, and fell over
the banister and was killed Moore
was of the more jovial nature and ten
der hearted to the extreme. The death
OF his children changed his nature and
he never after sang in public as he was
fond of doing.
"Oft in the Silly Night" of which
he was author and composer, he sang
with entran ing sweetness. Ii has been
extensively paraded, but 1t nevertheless
remains a perfect poem and perfect
song:
Oft in the Silly night,
Ere Slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond Memory brings the light
or other days around me;
The smiles the tears,
OF boyhood's years
The words of love then spoken;
The eyes that shone.
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken
Thus in the Silly night.
Ere Slumber's chain has bound me,
Sad Memory brings the light
OF other days around me.
When l remember all
The friends so linked together
I've seen around me fall.
Like leaves in wintry weather. =
| feel like one
Who treads alone If
Some banquet hall deserted
Whose lights are fled.
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he departed.
Thus In the Silly night,
Ere Slumber's chain has bound me.
Sad Memory brings the light
OF other days around me.
