SONGS OF ASPIRATION.

Aspiring toward the peaks your fond
eyes hold me,
And teach, not show. disdain
For all the vision-dwarfing things that
now enfold me
cannot love the plain!
This be my title 70 you, DEAR
care not for mems shout;
His song was but a seeing clear;
His life, its living out.
H.
Not a wave doth pause the prov,
When we shape the downward
course;
Seeming to stand still, somehow
We are baffled from the source;
Fair as are these sheltered ways,
Dream we still of brighter days.
Only those who follow far
Know thee, light of souls desire;
IT'S enough to see the star,
We must burn within its fire;
All who would make true their dream
Must follow far, against the stream

Something is happening to some
body or something all the time, and
in the degree that these somebodies
and something's are known to others
he narration Of these happenings be-
comes news of interest. Under this
definition it will be seen that news
must relate to persons and things
that are known as well as appeal to
the reader through acquaintance, in
terest or humanity.
1t follows. of course, that a great
deal of the matter which appears in
the -ewspapers is not news. This is
true. and it is true also that nobody
pyetends ii is news. The newspaper
must be published at stated hours
ana whether there is news or not its
columns must be filled. To this end
it draws upon every resource at its
disposal, making the most of such
news as it may obtain, and aiming,
where it cannot inform its readers. at
least to entertain them.
News is good stuff" as any old
newspaper man will tell you. Any

others may reasonably be supposed to

LEAF FROM Elm HELDENLEsEN
How a German Policeman Made an
Exasperating Blunder.

German policemen appear to have
got bee in their bonnets just now as
the court orchestra director, Herr
regards women. A few days ago
Richard Strauss, was at Brunswick
with the Berliner Tonkunstler or
chestra, with view of giving con-
certs. A matinee had begun and
"Auf der Campagna" had just been
performed when Herr Strauss was
called out of the room in order to be
told by policeman that the music
must stop. "Why?" said the 'ndig
nant and surprised director The
only answer was a repetition of the
prohibition in more peremptory
form. The orchestra, consisting o.
seventy musicians, were packing ur
their instruments, amid a regular
storm of Indignation from the audi,
torium, when a messenger came say.
ing the order had been rescinded. II
turned out that the policeman ha
acted on his own responsibility, anG
when asked to give a reason for his
arbitrary conduct replied: Il thought
it was a kind of ladies' orchestra tina;
was playing there" 1t must be add
ed that if this had been so the ladies
would have had to have obtained per.
mission to play Telegraph.

MoRocco'S SULTAN's REFORMS

Travellers received by the Sultan or
Morocco were at one time required to
make the customary obeisance of the
country; but that ceremonial is now
omitted. The reason, according to
Lady Grove, in her "Seventy-one
Days Camping" goes back to a
slight social awkwardness involved in
carrying out that prescription: A dis
tinguished naturalist had been pre-
sented to the sultan, and as he bowed
his head to the ground, instead of
supporting himself with his hands, he
placed them behind his back. Conse-
quently his forhead came against the
marble floor with a loud bang, and
he had some difficulty in recovering
himself.
The sultan was amazed. Has not
the gentleman had the honor of en-
tering the presence of his own sover-
eign?" he asked another visitor, later.
Probably he has had that honor,
your majesty" was the answer
Then said the sultan, che should
have learned the art of making salu-
tations without the occurrence OF
such accidents"
Thereupon his majesty learned with
establishment that this lowly form OF
obeisance is not observed at Europe
an courts. and he Immediately decreed
that none but the usual customs de-
manded by European sovereigns
should be required of Europeans when
they entered or left his presence

WHAT CONSTITUTES NEWS?

News ought to be and is informa
ton which is interesting to every
body or to somebody. II is almost as
difficult to define nevis with accuracy
as it is to describe an agreeable per
fume or to convey to another the
idea of charm whose manners are
captivating.
Real news must OF necessity carry
with it an element of surprise. A
newspaper article may relate to per
sons or to things, but It cannot be news
If IT has been treated Of before, # no
new light is thrown upon the subject

spots allo Stains.

Blood stains should be dipped first
in kerosene oil before the fabric is
washed. Peroxide of hydrogen is also
useful in removing blood stains. It
may be poured on and the fabric then
rinsed in warm water. Fresh blood
stains can often be removed from
delicate fabrics by 'wetting immediate
ly in lukewarm water. 1t must always
be remembered that lukewarm water
is water which feels neither hot nor
cold to the hand Wet the stain and
rub with a clean cloth. Put on more
water as needed, and keep rubbing
till the stain disappears. Tho per-
oxide of hydrogen acts by destroying
the coloring matter of the blood.
Blotting paper is not good for re-
moving grease spots. Use thin, brown
wrapping paper or clean butchers
paper; lay it over the goods and set
the hot iron over it. Do not rub the
iron back and forth; hold it still for
an instant. then remove and repeat
the operation with a fresh surface of
paper. A grease spot will appear on
the paper when the iron is lifted. Be
sure that in applying again this spot
does not get against the fabric and
retransfer itself. Keep using fresh
paper until the hot iron brings away
no more grease, then brush thorough
ly. Drippings from wax candles can
be removed in this way.

a WORDSWORTH CULT

There is some disposition on sthe part
of the cult makers to get up a Words
worth reviVal.rS. Why not?
When he was. only 18 OR 10, before he
made UP his mind to be a poet, Words
worth was stirred TO his inInost nature
with enthusiasm, like thousands of others,
over the taking Of the bastile, believing
that new era was da;wning for oppressed
humanity and the old tyranniess We're
going to pieces. He thought
Prophetic harps
In every grove were, ringing, sMarshall.a cease,
Did ye not hear that conquest is abjured?
Bring garlands, bring, forth choicest flowers to
. deck
The tree Of liberty
Wordswoth's enthusiasm was chilled
somewhat by the hideOus blood-thirsti-
ness OF the men who thought they were
the promoters Of human liberty, instead
Of rdespotism but his zeal for the prog
ress of the individual man influenced him
more or less thru his life. He, however,
was more a poet of nature than a poet of
humanity. Wordsworth never had an atom
Of humor In his nature. In company
with Tom Moore and others one day,
Wordsworth remarked that he did not
think he was ever witty but once in his
life. Asked. as to the occasion the ls%1-
reate said: IT was standing some time ago
at the entrance of my cottage at Rydal
Mount. A man accosted me with the
question: Pray, sir, have you seen my
wife pass by?' Whereupon said, Why
my good friend, didn't know, till this
moment, that you had a wife!" The
company stared, looked puzzled, trying
to discover the point Of the 'sjoke," anc
then burst into a prolonged roar of laugh
ter to hide their own dilemma and the
poet regarded 1t as a. great tribute to hi
wit. Wordsworth's "joke" was a poser
to them the rest of their lives.

Mitchell, S. D., July 2s.-The wheat
harvest commenced in this county to-day
and immense crop will be garnered-
There has not been day since the wheat
was first sowed until the present time
that has been unfavorable to the growth
and development of the cereal. The
weather has been practically ideal, the
moisture has come along at regular inter-
walls and there has not been the suspicion
of hot wind this summer.
The wheat has had the strength to re-
sist lodging and very little, if any, wheat
will be lost on that account. 1t is con-
fidently believed that wheat will average
over 20 bushels an acre, and there will
be many pieces that will go over 80 bush-
els The harvest will be finished by the
middle Of next week, and the threshers
are ready to go into the fields at the
present time. Some oats and barley will
be threshed right away.

AT THE THEATERS
Lvceum-"on the 3Ohio."

-
T Like the pneumonia of the lungs"
mentioned by a local newspaper; yester-
day, con the Ohio is described as a
comedy DRAMA comedy, to-wit that
is also a drama. In this the play Is pc
culiar. It Is famous" too, as the bill
boards assure us. That is also peculiar.
Without such information in advance,
one would say that "On the Ohio" Is a
melodrarna, a popular melodrama, with
the vapid mediocrity that the phrase i'm
plies. It's melodrama Of the rural type,
about that eternal "city chap" with the
zine clothes and the stllted language,
who steals away "our little gall from
body is virtuous and worthy in proper
ton as they vulgar, and the moral
from which there is no escape depicts
the sin of soap, the nobleness of igno-
rance The mixture, furthermore, Is a
libel upon Ohio farmers. who are both
progressive and intelligent. Needless to
say, other inconsistencies abound.
The actors, we trust, do not imagine
that they are representing life. They
know that their task is dictated by box
office arguments. Yet the audience APP
peared no larger last night, no more en-
thusiastic. than when really excellent
comedies were presented by the Ferris
stock company several weeks ago. The
best, indeed that can De suggested Of the
present production is that it makes a toll

say, is Margie Putnam bombproof against

At Kogota and Panama.

The statement made by Consul General
Gudger at Panama to the department OF
state yesterday, while not as clear as 1t
might have been, indicates that the situa-
ton, as Mr.. Gudger says, Is grave
The descent of the national troops upon
the governors house and the arrest OF
several officials Of the Panama govern
ment, the governor escaping, is not very
unusual in the United States of Colombia,
for under the revolutionary changes dur
ing the last decade or so, the former au-
tonomous states have been reduced prac-
tically to the condition of departments
subject to the central government at Bo-
gotta. The governor, having failed to pay
the national troops, and the department
having money, according to Consul General
Gudger, the military commander concluded
to help himself as best he might, and made
the descent upon the Panama government
It Is very probably a correct surmise as
expressed IN Washington, outside the Co.
lombian legation, that the Bogota govern
ment believes there Is some substance to
the stories circulated few months ago
+ to the effect that there was a movement
in Panama to sever the isthmus from CO.
lombian sovereignty and effect an ar
rangement with the United States as to
the canal construction, If the Colombian
congress fails to ratify the canal treaty.
President Marroquin may have in view the
Tightening of the hold upon the department
Of Panama, under such conditions
The outlook for the ratification OF the
treaty is by no means encouraging. Ac-
cording to the terms Of the treaty (Article
2S), the treaty must be ratified and ex-
changed within eight months from the 22d
day of January, 1903, and the time will be
up on Sep. %. The Colombian congress
has been in session about six weeks and
has taken no action the treaty, but
has developed much opposition to 1t. The
attitude of the congress was defined the
other day by Senior Pedro Yelez. mem

the gallows he SO richly deserves, he must
be caught, tried and convicted. How to
do that with a local jury, is the question:
Professor James suggests that the lsitua-
ton demands the enactment of special
legislation regarding the trial and punish
ment Of slynchers, If they are to be pun
ished at all. If there were no punishment
for any crime there would be vastly more
crime than, there is Hence 1t is no won
der that SINCE lynchers, who are usually
very public and SPECTACULAR in their bloody
work, are not punished. lynch law should
80 flourish Let an individual kill another
and the chances are that he will go to
prison or hang. But let him charge his
victim with heinous crime, gather a
mob and perform the crime collectively
and publicly, and he goes free.
Truly. now that we have begun to shoot
lynchers down like the beasts they are,
the next step Is to hang some of the prom
inent citizens among the survivors.

Reliance, Defender.

The new yacht Reliance was yesterday
chosen to contest with Shamrock III for
the Americas cup. There was no Ques-
ton before the committee. It was as
plain as could, be that Reliance was the
best boat Of the three-Columbia, Con-.
stitution and Reliance.
The trial races have been a surprise to
the general public In that they have
proved that Constitution, built to defend
the cup last time, but rejected then in
favor Of Columbia, the defender OF the
first Upton race, Is a. faster boat than
Columbia. Columbia has uniformly come
in a poor third In all the races, whereas,
O time allowance, Constitution has
beaten Reliance once or twice. tho the
new yacht has always crossed the line
first, This demonstration Of the super
iority of Constitution to Columbia proves
the wisdom Of the Herreshoffs In Judging
that In building Reliance they ought to
improve on Constitution instead Of Co.
lumbia-
From the performances Of. Shamrock
III on both sides of the Atlantic, 1T Is
apparent that the International race will
be great contest. Americans are con-
fident that the Reliance will win. and
they have the satisfaction Of knowing
that they are to be represented by their
best boat. '.sazs, ,-.-,s, ~oe's

AN INGENIOUS cABMAN
Spare Moments.

It was nearly midnight, and the group
of cabmen standing outside, the BANQUET
ing hall were Respondent. The night was
so warm and fine that the guests at the
banquet would be sure to walk home IN
stead Of riding.
At length one cabman hit on a brilliant
idea. He brought a bucket of water from
the horse trough. and poured it well over
the steps of the hall and the pavement in
front Of the entrance, so that it looked as
if there had been a. heavy rain. Then he
took an umbrella and dipped it In the
water trough, and, as the beadle threw
open the door for the departing guests
the ingenious cabman stood in the door
way with his dripping umbrella.
"a fearful night! Raining cats and
dogs!" said one of the guests.
Cabs were in such great demand that
there; was not one Of them went away
without a fare.
