A BALLAD OF CHANCE.

Ny first were innocent and sweet :
their charms in mawkish verse sung;
loved the ground beneath their feet
That is the way when one is young,
A something seemed to tie my tongue
And so my love never told;
What chances then away flung! .
IT'S different when one is o.c. ~
And next, in manhoods noondav heat,
From fair to fair lightly swung;
Halfway they would my wooing meet
This is the way when men are young,
About their petticoats | hung
trow they never found me cold;
Loves changes then l gay ly rung;
IT'S different when one Is Old. =.
To sit upon the anxious seat.
The all-too-wiliing maids among.
With foolish dreams ones self to cheat
That is the way when men are young
With sweetest poison to be stung.
To be too shy or overbold.
To waste at spigot and at bung!
IT'S different when one IS old.
L'ENVOI.
To chant loves lay with lusty lung,
That is the way when one Is young.
To lightly win and loosely hold;
IT'S different when one is old.

HOW JAP SHIPS FOUGHT.

An Associatd Press dispatch 1rOE-
Chez Foo says: The last battle OF
Port Arthur was a Japanese victory.
At about 10 o'clock IN the morning The
Japanese feet, composed of fifteen bat
tie ships and cruisers, under command
of Admiral Togo, appeared. The forts
opened fire at long range, but the fleet
steamed on without notice till within
5000 yards range, and then began a
bombardment which was furious and
continued.
The Russian cruisers Askold, Bayan
and Novik, with four torpedo boats.
were in the outer channel. They
steamed out of the fire zone of the
forts and replied to the Japanese fire.
The Retvizan also took part.
Togo's feet steamed slowly in con-
centric circles. the ships IN perfect
alignment as if on magnificent pa
rade. The guns were splendioly serv-
ed and did mueh damage to the forts
and town.
One Russian torpedo boat was sunk
quickly. The cruiser Askold. in &
sinking condition, retired to the har'
bor. Tugs steamed out to ner assist
ance. The Novik and Retvizan was
badly damaged. The NoYik was forced
to retire. The other torpedo boats
kept in the background.
The forts had five guns sliencea'
while the damage to the town was Sc
rious. One shell struck amid the an
chorage of junks, blowing many 10
atoms.
Several shells fell just short OF the
arsenal, striking the mud wall sur
rounding it, but doing no damage.

A Washington special says: In the
United States court of claims Monday
the chief justice announced, in the case
of the state Of South Carolina against
the United States, to recover various
sums as special taxes for the sale of
liquors in the state at the various dis
pensaries by the officials in charge OF
these dispensaries, that the petition
of the state of South Carolina was dis
missed and that the opinion would be
handed down later.
This is one of the most important
cases that has come before Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes for
decision since he has been in office.
The state of South Carolina made
claim before him for the refund OF
these taxes upon the ground that the
state dispensary law was constitution
al, as decided by the supreme court
of the United States, and that the col
lection of these taxes, and that the col
tax levied upon state officials and
upon the exercise Of a governmental
function and power.
The commissioner rejected the claim
and suit was then brought in the court
of claims and by its dec c-sion Mr..

MAJ: Clerks by Negro.
According to reports received In Bir-
mingham by the Alabama Great South
ern railway, the shooting of two pos
tai clerks on northbound train No. 2,
early Monday morning, two miles
north of Meridian, Miss, was part OF
a bold plot to rob the train.
The shooting was done by Jim Par
is, negro, who boarded the train IN
the Meridian yards, as it was pulling
out. Before it was fairly under good
headway, Paris entered the postal Gar
and opened fire on Postal Clerks J. T.
Stockton and Al. Bass, killing Stock
ton instantly and woundlng Bass in
the arm.
The negro then seized a package OF
registered mail and jumped of.
In leaving the train he fell and had
one foot crushed under the wheels, but
managed to drag himself three miles.
Bloodhounds. were secured at Merid-
ian, the train having backed to that
place, and they traced Paris, who they
found with a number Of registered let
ters in his pocket. He is now in jail
at Meridian. A mob was at once form
ed to lynch the prisoner, but Governor
Vardaman called out the militia and
frustrated their plans.

Law May Soon be Tested.

A Columbia special says: The con-
stitution of this state, which practi-
cally takes away from 10000 negroes
the right to vote. may be tested in the
courts soon. At the meeting Of the re-
publican convention resolutions were
offered and adopted calling for a per-
manent organization with this in view.
1t is not thought that the fight will
amount to anything, but it may be
used with some effect at conventions
and some of those on the committee
will induce northerners to contribute
something toward a litigation fund to
fight the suffrage clause OF the consti-
tuition.
A member of the committee, a ne
gro, stated that it was the purpose CT
the committee to extend the organiza-
ton into other states, as in Georgia
and Alabama. 1t was pointed out that
the supreme court Of the United States
had practically decided all this, and he
replied that he was aware Of this, but
that the organization would have a
most potent political influence with
the republican party whether anything
was accomplished or not.
