que representa- Cristo, cuando inerte
va sin fuerzas en- la Cruz, batalla
con las feras congojas de la muerte.
Sin forraa escultural, tosco, NAL hecho;
pero la sola herencia que en- el mundo
mi madre desolada al pie del lecho
recibi0 de su padre moribundo;
ese Cristo, sin arte y sin historic,
fue para el potre hogar que lie dio abrigo
urna de bendicion fuente de gloria
mudo, 81, pero inmutable amigo.
Ell, en- la adverse y pr0spera fortuna,
aviv6 la piedad de mis- abuelos.
llor6 sus dulces suefios en- Ia cuna
Y les mostr0 la senda de los cielos
FL les dio IN coraz6n entero y sano,
nunca sobresaltado por el grito
del pertinaz remordimiento humane
que acosa al criminal con su delito.
Ell calmo su angustiado pensamiento
en- las hora sin luz de la agonia,
' recogi6 su postrimer aliento
' 50 Ultima miTada incierta fra.
Por el, cuando la hambrienta sepultura
aauel honrado hogar dej6 vacio,

sAvAGEs IN HOTELS.
PIaint of Host wAo Sees How His Patrons Disregard Decency
 and Destroy Property.

In all the big hotels of New York there are rooms that the guests never see or hear of. Some of them are in the base ment and some are on the roof, accord ling to the convenience of the manage ment. They belong to the carpenters, l engineers, electricians and other work men who are kept busy every day all i the year round, says the Times. In every hotel of pretensions large force l is required to mend furniture, do odds and ends of painting, put on door locks, repair broken water pipes, and do any number of other things that are indis- pensable if the house is to appear in | good order all the time.
 "It is my experience" says the man. ager of a hotel in Broadway, '4hat men and women who will put up with no end of inconvenience and disorder at home or in cheap boarding house kick nightly if they do not find everything spick and span at a hotel. A man who will sit night after night in frayed chair in his parlor at Four Corners will 1 make an awful fuss if he finds a neglect ed piece of furniture in hotel parlor or bedroom A women who has to light the parlor stove every day when she is at home and spend half her time in keep ing the house warm, will say she is cold even if the steam is on at full pressure in her room at a hotel and she will keep a man busy two or three hours a day running around to see if there is not something the matter with the 1 pipes. s4
 ''It seems to be weakness with some folks to take it out of the furniture in hotels in order to get their moneys worth A man who will not dare to throw a burnt match on the carpet in his own house, and who would as soon think of flying as of lying on the bed with his boots on, will do these things and worse in a hotel bedroom. It takes two or three hours to put the room in ! order after he has gone. Often we have to send at least one piece of furniture to the repair shop. If one of the small furniture dealers scattered around the city could get as much furniture to mend as is sent to hotel repair shops every day he would begin to talk about 1 prosperity.
 Perhaps am putting it strongly, but in all seriousness, carelessness and will full neglect of guests in great hotels men and women from whom such a thing would not be expected-puts us to great expense. Would man spit to- bacco on a carpet or burn curtains and bed covers with cigarettes if they were his own property? These things are done every day in hotel. Some men will not scratch match anywhere else if they can scratch it on the wall pa per.
 Again, lot of room we should like for other purposes is occupied with un- claimed trunks and other baggage be- longing to persons who have forgotten to pay their hotel bills. Most hotels keep rooms especially for this, and they have anywhere from 100 to 150 trunks on hand all the time. They are obliged by law to hold them three months be- fore sending them to the auction room Many proprietors keep them year"

Burglar Bees.

To the person who knows nothing about bees they represent the supreme type of industry But even the bee com munities are disturbed by those of their own kind who break through and steal. Robber bees are always a source of anxiety to beekeepers, and at this time of the year the marauders seem partic- ularly active. Having gathered no honey, or atany rate an insufficient SUD- ply for themselves, they will descend upon a hive, kill it's industrious occu- pants and carry off the golden treasure in an astonishingly short space of time. We know of a recent instance in which the attack was developed and the home bees killed in couple of hours. Some times hive will attack neighboring hive. In such cases the old straw skip was better than the modern arrangement, for knife thrust through the top would break the comb and set the honey free, at which the thieves would instantly return to seal up their own store. It is not primarily in their industry that bees are human-London Chronicle.

PICTURES FROM LIFE,
Writers of the Present Day Deal More with Fact and Less with
 Fancy.

The number of capable writers who in the form of fiction is much greater than contemporary pessimists realize, states the Detroit Free Press. There Is, indeed, no corner of human experience which cannot produce It's able, enter taining representative. Let us take some traditional forms of the novel, the sea story, say. Capt. MarryaC was indeed master, and yet w. Clarke Rus sell and Conrad and Jacobs! Tn the work of all of these men one has to ac. knowledge that romantic fidelity to the facts rather than the fancies of the sea which l have spoken of as the note of the modern romantic realism. In the case of Conrad we have also writer of the first literary importance-a novelist of action and serious vivid detail, who does not scorn to write good English
 but who more than that Pole as he is- and there is an additional marvel writes English of a quality so English that incredible as it may sound, his words are no less exciting than his ad- ventures. It may almost be said that the fact of his being a foreigner" using our English tongue has possessed him with a regard for classical English which fostered in him the journalistic impress sion of such a vociferous English writer as, say, MT Kipling-Mr Kipling, who is patriotic in everything but his language.

Eldora, May 1o.-The Hardin county
board Of supervisors have finally dis
posed of the bills which were filed IN
the Blydenburgh murder case and
which bills in several instances We're
by the board deemed SO large that they
have been the bone of contention Tor a
number of monthly meetings. Profess

$372S5. These witnesses We're subpoe>
raed by the state as expert witnesses
and would not have come to the state
were they not promised extraordinary
fees above the legal rate allowed for
ordinary witness fees.
The board has allowed the bill OF
the Ann Arbor toxicologist in the sum
of $T1.60. and that Of the Ohio doctor
at s69.S0. The supervisors took legal
advice in the matter and from the best
information that they We're able to OBJ
tain they were led to believe that they
could allow no bill in excess Of what
the statutes of Iowa authorize. They.
therefore, allowed 81 per day for ex-

Mr. Seakatz states that the depart
ure OF the fishermen was not SO sud-
den but that he positively recognized
several of the party.
Mr. Seakatz seized the seine and was
upon the point of removing it when
Policeman Searles appeared upon the
scene and took it away from him, bas-
ing his claim on the fact that he was
sworn officer of the law. Searles
admits that he now has the seine III
his possession.
Informations are being prepared and
numerous arrests will doubtless speed

Lincoln has been sent for and is ex.
pected to arrive at Waverly today.
The excitement in regard to the al

streets. Public sentiment is in favor
