MY BLYTHE AM BONNIE LAssir
By James Hogg.

 How sair my heart nae man shall ken Whne l took leave O wonder glen, Her faithful danes, her honest men, Her streams sac pure an glassy, O; Her woods that skirt the verdant vale Her balmy breeze sac brisk an hale, Her flower of very flower the vale. My blythe an bonny lassie. O! The night was short, the day was lang An aye we sat the birks amang. Til O CT may head the blackbird sang Gae part vii that dear lassie, O. When on Lamgaro's top sac green The rising sunbeam red was seen, Wi aching heart I left my Jean.
 My blythe an bonny lassie, o! Her form Is graceful as the pine; Her smile the sunshine after rain; Her nature cheerful, frank an kind, An neither proud nor saucy, O. The ripest cherry on the tree Was neer sac pure or meek to see, Nor half sac sweet its juice to me,
 As kiss O my dear lassie, O. Whate'er I do. whate'er I be, Yon glen shall ay be dear to me; Her banks and howms sac fair to see; Her braes sac green an grassy. O; For there my hopes are vcnrcred a; An there my heart was stol'n awa';< An there mn Jeauic first I Saw.
 My blythe n bonny lassie. O!

The czar as PIouqhman.

From the London Chronicle
 The latest royal parsonage to join the list of those who have found that the sweat of one s brow is not very terri be thing when one does not have to earn ones bread by 1t is the czar of Russia, who thus shows himself a worthy de- scendant of Peter the shipwright. The occupation which Nicholas 1T has chosen is that of farm laborer. He has long taken an interest in the theoretical side of agriculture, and is now finding relaxa- tion from the cares of state in the prac- tical side. Two photographs have lately been published, one of which shows a group, consisting of himseir, M. Witte. M. Yermoloff (minister of agriculture. and an engineer, the last of whom is giving the czar the final instructions with regard to the management of a newly invented blow. The other photo- graph shows the autocrat of all the Rus sas guiding the plough as it turns up the furrows.

Just why such beautiful sea- son of the year should be the source of so much distress is not apparent.

 It wouldn't be so irritating if the victims only knew how they contracted the af- fiiction.

The victim has no lesson from the ex- perience by which he may profit to forti- fly himself against the next attack.

HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS.

From Success
 There are times when the most tactful of men are taken aback by some unex- peeted retort. Such an experience befell King Edward of England in connection with the visit of the South African con- tingent of colonial troops to London at the termination of the Boer war. One of the Cape scouts was an unmistakable mulatto, with a magnificent record for gallantry, however. The king was re- viewing the men, walking down their ex- tended line, and occasionally speaking to one of them. Opposite the colored man he stopped
 And who are you, my man." he asked
 I'm a nlgger, youah majesty"
 The most tactful ruler in Europe was nonplussed by the unooked-for reply. But he managed to say
 Good. Then remain so, my brave fel- low With this he passed on.

 It is announced that Senator Morgan will introduce at the extra session of con- gress resolution to definitely abandon the Panama canal route and take up the Nicaragua project. Commenting upon the fact the Philadelphia Record says:
 This will cause much debate; but 1t Is not likely to lead to any practical result, at least in the extra session. The admin istration is evidently indsposed toward the Nicaragua route so long as there is reasonable prospect of completing the construction of the Panama canal If the two oceans are to be united physical geography indicates Panama as the place of juncture."

John Nelson reported to the police last Sunday

parties while walking along the highway in the
eastern part of the city and severely handled.
When first seen his face and clothing were covered
with blood and he was in dazed condition. DR..
Finucane was called and sewed up the wound,
which required six stitches. Nelson, it seems, was
slugged once before, about two weeks since, and
the affair was a mystery at that time; but it is now
known that at least of his assaiants is among
the exiles in Denver. There is considerable mys
terry connected with Sunday nights occurrence, as
the local seuths found great deal of blood on the
sidewalk in front of the Hanchett block and it is
evident that the injuries were received at that
place. Dr. Finucane states that the wound could
have been inflicted by blunt instrument or been

Burton in the Tolls.

Another phase of the attempt of the New York
Central and Hudson River railway officials to
place Francis L Blu of the KokomoP Pioneer
mining company behind the bars occurred Tues
day. Armed with a requisition from Governor
John c. Bates of Massachusetts, and which had
been honored by Governor Peabody Inspector J.
A. McGarr of the Boston police force and John r.
Carey of the Pinkertons proceeded to Dumont to
arrest Burton Upon being arrested Burton oti-
fed his Denver attorneys, who Immediately ap-
piled to Judge johnson for writ of habeas corpus
which was granted In the meantime they notified
J, w. B. Smith of this city to keep an eye upon
the party and accompany them to Denver, where
the attorneys and the writ were in waiting. The
Boston party, however, suspected something and
left the train at Arvada, where they had convey
waiting to take them to Brighton where they
intended to take another road out of the state.
Smith, however, had kept the attorneys posted by
telephone. and then followed the fugitives on
horseback This and the activity of the Denver
officials resulted in the serving of the writ, and
the hearing will probably take place today.
Burton is charged with having obtained $z5oo
from the railroad company in 1901 through falsely
claiming to have been injured in accident to
the sleeper in which he was a passenger. He
claims that he thrown violently from his berth
and rendered unconscious besides receiving in
juries that incapacitated him from his duties for
some time. He was waited upon by the railroad
attorney and f25oo was finally accepted by the
judge as compromise and partial recompense for
wounded dignity and loss of cuticle This SEEM
ingly ended the incident, but ugly rumors soon
reached the company that the judges injuries
were not attributable to the accident but to an
encounter with an indignant miner in Denverswho
had been unable to collect pay for his services
the Dumont properties. This led to the arrest and
temporary incarceration of Burton. However, he
succeeded in obtaining his liberty and arriving in
Idaho Springs in time to attend the annual COM
pany meeting. Since that time he has had an
other legal encounter in Boston, and it seems the
end is not yet. The result of the proceedings to-
day will be awaited with interest.
Burton claims that he is the victim of plot to
remove him from the control of the Kokomo-
Pioneer mine, aud that the Boston stockholders
are responsible for his troubles.

Meeting of the City Council.

An interesting meeting of the city council was
held Thursday night. There were several visitors
and they were given the first hearing. Mr.. J. N
Bradley asked for a water franchise for domestic
purposes for the Blue Ribbon company. for a term
of wears to be decided by the council, conditioned
upon the company erecting hotel to cost not less
than 500 600 and to be begun within two years.
This matter was taken up later in the evening,
and it was unanimously decided that the board
would refrain from committing itself in advance
TO auy company corporation individual in the
matter of water franchises, but that the first hotel
erected would be the fortunate enterprise. This
course has been decided upon after considerable
thought and some experience in the past While
the board so far has committed itself to but the
first hotel there is doubt that the big ones to
follow will be treated generously.
Messrs. George Oxley and Joseph Bradley repre-
scented Sunnysde, and urged the necessity for the
board to act Immediately upon the petition for
new avenue at the Newhouse dump, as the tunnel
people had already covered about rs feet of the
east end of Virginia street and were already
croaching upon the space for the proposed avenue.
Mr. Comstock chairman of the committee, stated
that from his interviews with Mr.. Hanchett he
was satisfied that the city would find the latter
ready and willing to do the right thing. 1t seems
that the ground on the south side of the creek is
owned by an individual, not the company, and
If is probable the western portion of the tract will
he laid off in lots, the owner is as anxious for
avenue as any one.
Mr.. Anderson, chairman of the sewer committee,
reported that some progress had been made still
the field was yet rich for the plumbers in some
localities sewer map would aid the committee.
Chairman. Christensen reported that the Chicago
creek pipe line was completed and the water
nf he -, o11
sections of the pipe had developed through press
ure, necessitating the employment OF bands. The
new work done upon the line is praiseworthy in
every particular but to prevent further trouble it
will require instant action and heavy expendi-
ture upon other parts of the line. 1t was the
sense Of the board that the whole line must be put
in frst-class shape. and have the preference over
other work. 1t was also decided to compel large
users Of. water to put in meters
