Cans,t Thou Foreet2

Canst thou forget, beloved, our first awakening
From out the shadowy calms of doubts and
dreams,
To know Loves perfect sunlight round us
breaking,
Bathing our beings in its glorious CLEANS
Cunst thou forget?
A sky of rose and gold was DER us glowing,
Around us was the morning breath of May:
Then met our soul-tides, thence together flow
ing,
Then kissed our thought-waves, mingling on
their way;
Canst thou forget9
Canst thou forget when first thy loving fingers
Laid gently back the locks upon my brow?
All, to my womans thought that touch still
fingers
And softly glides along my forehead now.
Canst thou forget?
Canst thou forget when every twilight tender,
Mid dews and sweets, behold our slow steps
And when the nights, which come in starry
splendor,
Seemed dim and pallid to our heaven Of
love?
Canst thou forget?
Canst thou forget the childlike heart-outpour-
ing
Or her whose fond faith knew no 1alterlng
fears?
The l;shes dropped to veil her eyes adoring,
Her speaking silence, and her blissful tears:
Canst thou forget?
Canst thou forget the last mournful meeting.
The trembling form clasped to thy anguished
breast;
The heart against thine OWE now wildly beat
ing,
Now tluttering faint, grief-wrllng, and fear
oppress d
Canst thou forget?
Canst thou forget though all loves spell be
broken,
The wild farewell which rent our souls apart:
And that last gift, Affections holiest token,
The severedtress, which lay upon thy heart
Canst thou forget?
Canst thou forget, belov'd one comes there
never
The angel of sweet visions to thy rest?
Brings she not back the fond hopes fed forever
While one last name thrills through thy
sleeping breast?

Warned by a Dead Man.

The Salisbury, n. c., Sun relates
the following: Mr.. J. S. Marable,
who died on Monday night related
several days before his death a re-
markable experience. He was covers

weeks ago." said Mr.. Marable, when
I was walking home became so weak
that I was compelled to sit upon a
rock to rest. While resting Tom

said, "Well old fellow, your time is,
about up and you had better get
ready to die. knew Tom Sparnell

KILLED BY HAZERS.
a Medical Student Was Killed by
Savage Ilitis,tion in Baltimore.
LAID NUDE ON BIG ICE CAKE.
A Relative Of the Slain Youth Tells
Of the Treatment the Victim
Received and Calls it
Foul Murder
Foul Murder.

Martin Loew, twenty-seyen years
old. dental student at the University
of Maryland Medical College, who
died on Sunday from the effects Of
brutal hazing by fellowstudents at
Greek letter society initiation, was a
New Yorker he had been q. student
at the Maryland College for three
years, and was to have graduated in
June, 1904.
The New York American says DR..
Leopold Hirschmann, Of No. 81 East
Eighty-sixth street, New York, a
cousin CT young Loew, was bitter in
his denunciations Of the treatment
his relative received.
"a fellow student Of Martin came
all the way from Baltimore and gave
me full details Of the case," said DR..
Hirschmann.
He said that a week ago last
Saturday Martin received notice that
be was admitted into Phi Psi Chi
fraternity and was wanted Immediate
ly at Mechanics Hall, No. 100 North
Paca street. He hurried to the hall
and was met by twenty-five members
Of the frat"
DROPPED TWENTY-FIVE FEET.
HE was told to undress, and after
doing 50 was blindfolded and taken
into room, where he was laid upon
cake Of ice.
He was then carried upstairs to
the balcony and thrown over the rail,
a drop Of twenty-five feet.
On the floor beneath stood num-
Der of students holding sheet.
When Martin fell into this he was
tossed up and down until he was un-
conscious. After being reviewed he
was beaten until his body vas a mass
Of bruises.
''That night be was in such
wretched condition that his room
mate stayed up all night with him.
Whiskey and quinine were given tt
him during the night, and in the
morning Martin said that be felt re-
lieVed.
AFTER SECOND DEGREE DEATH.
''The following Saturday Martin
took the Second Degree, while his
chum, Eph Stone, took the First
Degree Before starting for the hall
he said that he vas afraid. Little is
known Of what happened at this
meeting.
''The following morning my cousin
was found dead and his chum was in
a serious condition.
"The latter has given out contradic-
tory statements and the true facts OF
the case may ever remain mystery.
II was medical student and knew
all about hazing, but this case is ac-
tual murder. He was a strong, athle-
tic young man, Of the best habits, and
neither drank nor smoked. The guilty
ones should be sent to the gallows.
They are murderers."

Indian Medicine Man.

Ernest Thompson-Seton was talking
about the Indian medicine man the
other day.
did you ever notice." said he, "that
the Indian doctors two prime rene
dies are to-day the prime remedies OF
the most advanced medical science
also They are massage and the Vapor
bath. The early explorers all ridiculed
these two features of the medicine
mans treatment as much as they did
any Of the rest; but enlightened ply
sicians have adopted them now. OF
course, the medical men practiced all
sorts Of fraud and deception. But they
were shrewd judges OF character, and
that was the reason Of their holding
the positions they did. Here is an ex-
ample Of it:
Running Deer and Lame Dog had
quarrel. 1t was smoothed over and
forgotten. A year afterward Running
Deer was found dead one morning in
his tepee. The medicine man retired
and remained invisible for two days.
Then he called council.
when all were seated il order, he
said. 7 have tasted and had visions,
and knowledge has been granted to
me. You see this knife. There are
three spots Of blood on this side the
blade, three on the other side I wipe
off the blood; this side is clean, this
side is clean. l put the knife behind
me, so, in the council fire. Each man
shall stand In turn. When the blood
spots come back on the blade, that
man will be the guilty one.
Storm Cloud. stand up. No blood
comes on the blade. Storm Cloud, sit
down; you are not guilty
"tBlue Buffalo, stand up. No blood
comes on the blade. Blue Buffalo, sit
down; you are not guilty.
Lame Dog, stand up. See, tho
blood comes back on the blade. Lame
Dog is guilty
Confronted by this supernatural
proof of his guilt, Lame Dog broke
down and confessed, and was thus
brought to justice through shrewd
judgment and simple trick of sleighr
Of hand"

NEGROES IN CONFERENCE.
Booker Washington as Usual Gives
the Leaders Good Advice.

At Washington on Tuesday Of last
week Booker T. Washington spoke at
the conference Of negro leaders on the
race problem. Despite the fact that
the special problems of tie city negro
and rape and lynching were before the
conference for discussion, he carefully
avoided them, devoting his time to
general advice to the conference. /
feel,' he said, If l had listened more
and talked less than have done, /
should have accomplished more in the
work l have tried to do" He referred
to the need for harmony among organ
izations and repeated that the Nation
al Sociological society had work to
do which no other organization could
perform.
Continuing, he said: L am glad we
are getting to the point where we can
come together without regard to de-
nomination, even to party, to discuss
these problems. There are two things
that I want to say to you. l hope
you will bear in mind that the great
body Of your people live in the south.
There are 100000 in the south and
they will be there for years. II you
will help US you will keep in touch
with US who are striving to better the
conditions there There are those Of
US who expect to remain right in the
south and if our people suffer to suffer
with them. In the discussions Of this
conference condemnations Of wrong
should have large part, but very
large part should be given to bringing
out something constructive. There
are wrongs to be sure. Some Of US
live in sections where we hear them
and eat them for breakfast, dinner
and supper. But along with condem-
nation there is a demand for some
thing constructive. What can you
actually project or what relief can you
bring?"
Before leaving the floor Prof. Wash
ington was asked by the Rev. Henry
Johnson Of Baltimore if he saw any
tendency toward the adoption of his
OWL constructive theories, to which
the leader replied: My own feeling
is that we must do our duty in the
light of human progress and If we ind
immediate results or not we should
trust to God to help us out"
J. w. Lyons, the negro leader and
register Of the treasury, also spoke,
advising the conference to ferret out
the crimes which had brought about
the numerous lynchingS in order to
show the wrong done the race.
A committee vas appointed to show
by the records the truth Of the state
ment made by the Rev. DR.. Caruthers
of Washington that the white men OF
Chicago had been guilty of the social
crime more than the entire negro race
il the same length Of time.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.
The Republicans Messing With the
Race Problem in Congress.

The Washington correspondent Of
The State says widespread comment
was aroused at the capitol Friday by
the action OF Representative Dick Of
Ohio introducing resolution proyid-
ing for a congressional inquiry into
the alleged disfranchisement Of vot-
ers in the south and for the reduction
of congressional representations of
those States wherein Sucu conditions
are found to exist.
Representative Dick is an intimate
friend of Senator Hanna, strong
man in the house, and one of the big
men in the Republican party. For
this reason there is rightly attached
a farleaching significance to his reso-
luton that others of the same charac-
ter introduced by less prominent Re-
publicans entirely lacked. The resolu-
tion, after reciting the law regarding
the suffrage, says:
sWhereas, it is matter OF COM
mon information and belief that the
right of some male citizens being q
years Of age to vote at elections named

FOB a RAZORLESS SHAVE.
A Harmless Mixture That Will Do 1t
Better Than Razor.

DR.. Wolfram E. Dreyfus, chief
chemist of the New York Department
Of public Charities, has compounded a
little mixture which, if rubbed over
the face, will shave you as quickly and
as well as the finest Sheffield razor.
This is the wonder-working COM
pound:
Barrii sulphidi, 25 parts.
Saponis pulvis, parts.
Talci farinae, IS parts.
Tritici farinae, 35 parts.
Benzaldehdi, quarter solution.
1t appears in the new hospital
formulary which DR.. DreyfuS issued
recently. This formulary contains
3S7 formulas and is the most exten-
tensive ever used by a hospital. DR..
Dreyfus has been working for long
time on this ''pulviS depilatorius, F."
or shaving powder, and after many
experiments he says that he has found
something that is satisfactory and
harmless.
The several ingredients mentioned
above when mixed together make a
power. For the new scientific ra-
zorless shave you take one teaspoon
full of the powder and mix it with
three teaspoonfuls of water, making
paste which you apply to the face
in moderately thick and even layer
with a brush from your otherwise
discarded shaving outfit. After four
OF FIVE minutes moisten the lather
with sponge, and in five minutes
more you can wash The mixture of,
leaving a breadless, gashless face.
AS DR.. DreyfuS explained it, this
new shaving mixture didn't seem so
wonderful after all. The essential
ingredient is barium sulphide, which
is contained in all depilatory mix
lures and is also used extensively in
tanning. A solution in which the
barium sulphide is the chief ingre-
dent is rubbed over the hide and the
hair can easily be scraped off immedi-
ately after. Barium sulphide, now
ever, is very powerful, and the trouble
with all depilatory powders, even
those which are used as an adjunct to
surgical operations, is that they are
injurious to the skin. DR.. Dreyfus
therefore looked around for something
that would render the powerful sui
phide harmless.
The ingredients which he found
would have that effect, and which
are set down in the formula given
above, have strange and impressive
names, but they are really our every
day friends. Saponis pulvis is plain
powdered soap which makes lather
Talci veneti pulyis is talcum powder,
and Tri6ici farinae is wheat flour,
both Of which are cosmetic in their
effects. Benzaldehyde is practically
an artificial almond oil, the pleasant
ordor Of which neutralizes that Of
the barium sulphide, which is not so
pleasant.
A dash Of this over the face, ten
minute wait, a wash, and there you
are, looking as clean and feeling much
better than if you had submitted to
one Of the old-fashioned razor opera
tions with witch hazel or bay rum
Sir?" accompaniment. The new
hair grows much more slowly, but
otherwise; the effect is the same as
that Of a razor shave, except the cost
Of the new process which is hardly
worth considering.

An Ugly Affair.

The house of Mr.. Jerough near
Nayesville was burned on Tuesday
week ago. The fire was Of incendiary
origin. 1t seems that negro hand
was not satisfied with an account Of
his with Mr.. Jerough. Mr.. Jerough
is overseer for DR.. Banker. The negro
threatened to kill him and all of his
family and burned him out, and there
seems to be no doubt Of his doing the
latter, for he has disappeared since
the fire. There have been no steps
taken to apprehend him.

FACE ROCKS OF NATURE.
Specimen ProfIes In the California
Mountains.

All outdoors is a puzzle picture, ike
those made for sharpening childrens S
wits.
Clouds pile themselves into fantastic
shapes and cast weird shadows on the
ground. Trees and shrubs mimic
things Of animal kind, and rocks as
sumo forms so foreign to their sub
stance that it sees as if only the
hand Of a master artist could have
made them so.
There are many people in the world
like Wordsworth's Peter Bell:
A primrise by the rivers brin
A yellow primrose was to him,
And it was nothing more.
To Peter Bell a rocks a rock, 3
trees a tree, clouds a cloud, and 1t
is nothing more. However, we are not
all Peter Bells, and if we go to Mount
Tamalpais we find some astonishing
modellings by nature. Of these the
most familiar are the Yelled Prophet
ess and the Old Lady OF Tamalpals.
On a ragged cliff so high that the se'
quotas Of Mill Valley seem like stunt
ed shrubs, the bowknot Of Tamalpa1s
railway narrow ribbon and the Gold
en- Gate but shiny streak, sits the
Yelled Prophecies Of Tamalpais. I'm
mutable, inscrutable, sphinx-like, the
faces Of the seeress is turned ever to-
ward San Francisco, and only the
winds from the ocean may gather
from her lips the secrets Of the tut
ure.
A few minutes walk from the tav-
ern Of Tamalpais on the trail that cir
cles the crest of the mountain brings
one to the Old Lady that guards the
path where it narroWs on rocky,
sheer-walled ledge. The profile Is per-
feet
But Tamalpais has not the only col
lection of nature sculpture in Cali
fornia. There is the George Washing
ton rock, about thirty-fve miles north
west Of Los Angeles, in the Santa Su-
sana Mountains. a chiselled monu-
ment could hardly bear truer likeness
to George Washington than does this
rock.
With Squaw Rock comes romance.
A chiefs daughter loved white hunt
er. He died. She returned to her
fathers wigwam. The chief turned
her out and she found a resting place
in Russian River. When the Indian
women went next day to the river for
water they saw engraved on the rock
where the rivers course turns sharp
ly the features Of the chiefs daugh-
ter. The Great Spirit had fashioned a
marker for her grave.
But nature is versatile. Her rock
pictures are not ali alike. The caves
of La Jolla clai style Of art, unique,
distinctive. Looking out from within
out Of these great caves the entrance
forms perfect silhoutte Of woman,
tall, stately, In trailing robes. Unlike
the people Of the mountain, this fig.
ure does not play at hide and seek.
Perhaps she is the image Of constancy;

A Valuable Dollar.

A silver dollar coined in 1904 was
sold at Denver, COL, on Fridry by r.
G. Parvin Of Denver to H. G. Of Port

A LITTLE HEROINE +,
Who Refused to Sing the Song March
ing Through Georgia,
GIVEN a R0UsING WELCOME
In Augusta, Georgia, by the Old
Confederate Veterans, Whose
Honored Guest the Lit
tie Lady Was.

The Confederate Veterans at Au-
gusta last week went wild over Miss
Laura Talbot Gait, OF Louisville
KY, the little girl who refused to sing
Marching Through Georgia wheh
ordered to do so by her teacher lasC
year. She has been invited to Augusta
by the Veterans and arrived ID the
city on Monday afternoon Of last week.
The Augusta Chronicle says long be-
fore the hour for the arrival OF the
train hundreds Of men, women and
children began to gather at the Union
depot, anxious to be the first to catch
a glimpse Of the little heroine and
welcome her to the city.
Shortly before the scheduled hour
for the arrival of the train Camp 435
met at the monument on Broad street,
in full uniform, and marched to the
depot in body, headed by the Robin
son Carnival band. A carriage drawn
by four white horses, and driven by
Capt. Newt Heggie in person, was on
hand to drive the young lady to the
Albion. When the news reached the
Depot that the train was pulling
through the yard into the station, the
old Veterans fell in line, the band
struck up My Old Kentucky Home, :"
and when the great engine Of the train
pushed under the shed mighty shout,
and rebel shout at that, went up,
the crowd surging wildly to the train.
For a moment confusion reigneo
supreme.
A committee, composed of Captain
William Dunbar aud Samuel Wilson,
had gone up the road and boarded the
train before it reached the city. When
they appeared at the door Of the Pull
man, leading beautiful young child,
dressed in gray and wearing a jaunty
gray cap, a mighty shout rent the air
and the band struck up Dixie" :"
Again there was pandemonium. Miss
Gait was yisibly affected By the
demonstration. Hundreds Of hands
were stretched forward to grasp hers,
and it was with the utmost difficulty
that she could make her way down
the steps Of the car. Slowly the party
had to work it's way through the
maSsed people, few able to catch a
glimpse Of the little heroine, owning
to the crush.
