THE DEAREST GIFT.

When all the dancing feet are still,
The roses bloom is shed and spend,
When she has waltzed her happy fill
With Will and Jack and Ted and
Fred,
Tired of the whirl and jolity.
Her lovely eyes weighed down with
sleep,
Then, at the last, she comes to me.
And she is all my own-to keep!
1 find her gloves and tie her wrap.
We say our good nights left and right;
Now I'm the tobe-envied chap!
All, now, indeed, it is good night!
OF lovers joy let wooers prate;
What could man ask more in life,
Than this best, dearest gift of fate
To have sweetheart for wife?

RECOUNT OF VOTES ORDERED
IN BAILEY-FLY. CONTEST.
Interest in Litigation at Victoria
Almost as Great as in Election.

Victoria, Texas, May S.-The
Bailey-Fly contested election case,
which was expected to come to an
end today, was prolonged by q
demand of the contestee for Il
recount Of the entire vote, which
was allowed.
Ten out of the twenty boxes have
been counted with the result that
Bailey has made net gain of six
votes. As Fly's majority was only
three, this puts Bailey three in the
lead. The count of the remaining
boxes may alter the situation.
The interest is almost as great
over the outcome as it was over the
election; in fact, it is very much
like holding the election over again.

LEGISLATIVE LooTERs.
Minnesota Solons Attempt to Carry

Van SAINT Interferes-

St. Paul. Mimi, May Gov
ernor Van SAINT created sensation
at the State Capitol to-day by per-
sonany interfering with members
of the Legislature who were attempt
inc to LOOT the House Of Representa-
tiyes chamber of desks and chairs
which they had occupied during
recent session.
The Governor set at defiance a
resolution passed by the House, and
at his direction Custodian Trow-
bridge, in preventing the removal
of the furniture, engaged in fist
fight with one of the most promi-
nent members Of the late House, on
the stairway leading from the
chamber.
The House, before adjournment,
passed a resolution allowing men,
bers to loot the chamber of desks
and chairs and other furniture used
By them during the session.
Two members appeared at the
Capitol early yesterday morning
and attempted to cart off the
property. Custodian Trowbridge
at once informed Governor Van
SAINT.
"Inform those men that not a
stick of State furniture leaves this
building, resolution or no resolu-
ton" the Governor directed.
The custodian explained, and
disappointed legislators left the
building with empty hands.
Later in the day a furniture van
backed up to the east entrance and
three other members entered the
House Of Representatives chamber
and succeeded in removing their
desks and chairs to the corridor.
They took different stairways to
the first floor, but the custodian
discovered one member as he was
trundling property away.

the fight ensued.
The Governor appeared on the
scene at once and the furniture was
rescued. 1t was taken into the
Governors private Office, where he
can'keep an eye on it and orders
were issued to lock the doors and
admit no legislators to the House
chambers.
