Lays their throats will soon be tuning,

In a jeweled chariot swinging
Through the mist;
And my heart OF hope Is dreaming,
AS my messages go streaming
To my queen
When the gold-red sun is setting,
And the wind is but coquetting
With the trees
When horizon blue is tinted
With expanse the sun has glinted
Like a frieze-
When the. rainbow-sky Is blushing,
And the eventide Is flushing
With the breeze
When the twilight fingers lowly,
Fades and fades. and sinks so slowly
TO the leas--
Then my thoughts to her are wnging.
In Jeweled chariot swinging
AS | please
And my heart with love Is toying,
Hope, expectantly, Is buoying
All my dreams
When the tiny stars, assembling
In a galaxy. are trembling
In the sky
When the ghostly moon Is glowing,
Silhouettes of fancy throwing
Ever nigh
When the shadows grim and sleeping.
Tremble as the winds come creeping
With a sigh
When but God alone is reigning-
Other pow'rs are merely feigning
Nearer by
Then my thoughts to her are winging,
In a jeweled chariot swinging,
AS they fly;
Then my heart cries out In longing,
Yearns and throbs, with hope prolonging,
Just for herl
Thus IL Is at eve or morning,
Love my life is all adornip~-

Julius Bauer, ,Laborer,
Falls Easy Prey
to Thugs.

julius Bauer. laborer residing at $40
Nicksburg street. was held up and robbed
at the corner of Washington and Davis
streets early yesterday morning by two
negroes, both of whom are unknown to
the police.
According to the story told by Bauer
at the Central police station he was on
his way to the Hall of Justice to bail out
a friend charged with a small offehse,
when he met two strangers and inquired
the way. These men, who were the rob-
bers. directed him to the Harbor station,
and the trio started down Washington
street. At the corner of Davis the
laborer was seized about the neck by
one of the men, while the other searched
his clothing, taking about $36 in coin.
Bauer claims that his assaiants walk
ed along with him some distance without
giving any hint to their intent. When
the assault came he was totally unprepar-
ed for it and unable TO utter an outcry.
After his money was taken he was left
on the sidewalk gasping and in no con-
dition to raise an alarm Immediately.
When he recovered himself he went to
the Hall of Justice, where he reported the
affair and an investigation was promised.
Captain Martin placed two of his men in
charge of the case, and they expect to
land the offenders behind the bars within
few days.
