classic tradition, used mainly to identi-
fy the anemone with Adonis, and April
with Venus. It is a working hypothesis
of scientific research.
1t is left to the poet to consider the
inspiration which nature brings to ma
ture love. In lifting measure w. w.
Story sings the sweet relationship:
Life Is in it's prime,
And the glad springtme
Breathes its subtle odors through US, turning
thoughts TO rhyme.
ITO its very rim
Joy lies cup doth brim
Nature. smiling all around us, sings its happy
hymn.
Love its perfect tune
On the harp of June
Plays the while the whole world listens meath
the pdlsing moon"
1t Is with gentle touch that autumn
plays upon the senses, drawing soft
music from their melodious strings.
Here is the song of autumnal love, as
it comes to me in imperfect prose:
1t was cool and quiet in the wood,
and this young girl wandered there
when her heart was heavy, treading
softly lest she disturb the hush that
lay there sleeping. She would close her
eyes, and think that she felt the
shadows on her face; they touched her
eyelids lightly, like fairy fingers. and
pleasant fancies came and went un-
oeasingly.
AS the unseen world opened more
widely before her vision. her heart grew
lighter, and the trouble that had lain
on her spirit lifted, just as the morn
ing mist rises before the early sun.
IN,
dreaming, the thud of acorns on the
wet, black earth, the birds fiuttering in
the branches overhead, the tap-tap of
the hungry woodpecker, the red leaves
tapping deliciously. 1t was all sweet
and strange, and never to be forgotten;
and when she turned homeward the
young girl cast back lingering glance
that had beneath it's tenderness an ex-
ultation, like that which one wears who
has surprised another's happy secret.
She did not know that the secret she
had learned was that of her own soul.
In this manner come the children of
earth TO the great ALI Mother, to sit at
her knee for a lesson in love. With
gentle persuasions of touch and sight,
and sound, she leads them in her ways
OF wonder. Her face is their inspiration.
Her woodlands are very temple Of
the hearts religion; in the stiffness and
awe of them the spirit OF maid or man
is lifted and the soul expands TO new
consciousness of love. The stars Of
heaven. the flowers of the soil. the wind
blowing softly over evening meadows,
the sun ending daylight with a burst
of glory-these are her textbooks and
ba, words of wisdom
The lady-moon, that pale-faced con-
fidante of love- had been identified, by
a scientist who is a poet at heart, with
the same sentiments of love, depend
ence. and reverence on the part of
youth which infancy feels toward the
mothers face.
Thus, with every changing season,
comes to youth and love and sensitive
maturity fresh joys, each one rejoicing
in it's own likeness, and springing all
from

David Harunl.

One of the most important announce
ments of the season is to the effect
that David Harum" with its New

strong cast will be presented at the
Park Opera House February 10th.

enjoyment in it. That they will want
TO see David. Aunt Polly, Deacon

move through the story on the stage
seems but natural. The New York
run of the play was a record breaker
in the matter of receipts and it claim
ed attention there for sixteen weeks.
For six weeks it run in Chicago and
for two months in Boston. The adap-
tion of the book was made by Ripley
and NJ w Hitchcock and they are
asid to have taken very few liberties
with it, adhering very closely to the
story woven so skilfully bv Wescott.
All the scenes are laid in bonneville.

three acts. From appearances it is
not unlikely that the play will meet
with warm reception here and its
presentation be largely attended.

THE DAILY SENTINEL
THE DOG POISONER.

What must be the character of "A
man who will 90 about and wantoply
administer poison to dogs of every
class ard description?
Certainly he cannot be a man of
thought and huamnity To have a tenn
permanent so cruel as to poison dogs
indiscriminately, the man must be
either mental incompetent or one of
wholly depraved nature. Even cruel
men are kindly disposed to dogs who
have always shown their love and
| loyalty to mankind.
The dog has been man $ next friend
to the horse. We can imagine a man
becoming wroth at a dog that has
done him some personal injury. has
bitten himself or some of his family
We can look with equanimity upon a
cleaning ont of worthless ours. that
.have no reason for being permitted to
live. but we cannot see why a human
being can be so depraved as to wage
merciless war for the determination
of all dogs. because of some petty spite
at some particular dog against which
he holds a grudge.
For the sake of studying such char
acter it would be great catch if the
police conld apprehend the poisoner.
The temper of the people. especially
those who have lost valuable and
useful dogs, to which they hsve be-
come attached because of their loyal
ty and faithfulness in many ways,
would brook nothing less than the
most severe punishment
In our Judgment coat of tar and
feathers would be light punishment
for the individual or individuals who
purposely throw poisoned meat for the
dogs to eat.
Doubtless we will be made to suffer
for saying what we have when the
brute and cowardly cur shall read what
we have said regarding the penalty
for such a crime. in the poisoning of
our own dog.
Anyway we shall continue to say
what we have and would be only too
glad to have the privilege of saying
what we have placed on paper to the
individual himself.
A man who will wage n poison war
of determination on the best of domes-
tic animals would beat a wife. ham
string horse or COW of nelghbor or
commit any other cowardly and des-'
picable crime.
He is not the kind who face men
and stand for what they say or do.
We guarantee if ever caught he will
prove to be cowardly skulking cur so
mean that he hates himself.

FATHER OF AMERICAN NAVY. "

The title of the "Father of the
American Navy as it exists today.
was the honorable one which Williem
c. Whitney. who died two days ago,
bore in this country.
AS secretary of the navy. under
President Cleveland. he made . record
in the reorganization of that branch
of the government which will ever be
remembered. Throngb his work, the
manufacture of American armour
plate for the construction of battle
ships was fostered and made possible.
Until his advent into the Cleveland
cabinet. and his assumption of the
active duties of his position. for Will
lam C. Whiteny was extremely pune
tilious in the discharge of his duties
in whatever business he was engaged.
the arrDor plate used by the U. S. navy
was purchased in foreign countries
He did not see his way clear to estab-
lish for the government factory for
the manufacture of the class of steel
necessary and he therefore adopted
the plan of refusing to purchase ar.
NOR plate in England until such gun
atty was needed as warranted the es-
tablishment by the Bethlehem compa-
ny in Pennsylvania of a plant for the
manufacture of arnoi plate.
When such plate was manufactured
in this country bv the Bethlehem com
pany, then began the rehabilitation of
our navy. In fact, previous to that
time, we had few and poor vessels. \
none fitted to cope with the vessels
of the powerful navies of European
countries.
To the minds of some the service he
performed at that time looked as if
it was done to foster private schemes.
in which he might in the future have
some interest. But he was performing
a great work for the American people.
which later was more than repaid by
the victory of the navy at Manila and
Santiago. and which will be recognize
ed by American people more fully now
that he is dead.
Whitney was not only a great dem
ocrat. but great American. He was
descended. being in the eighth gener
alton from the Puritan founaers of
Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
His paternal and maternal forebears
fought for the liberties of the people
in two great wars. preceding the civil
conflict and the family of Whitney has
been associated with the literature and
the arms and manufactures of this
country for the life time of the nation
and anti-dating that period, through
the colonial struggles of the first set
tiers in this country.
As true American, Democrat of
national character. the nation has
suffered keen aud distinct loss in the
death OF William @. Whitney. He
representated best element of Democ-
racy and around linn the thought and
loyalty of the young Democrats of
the nation clustered.

FLUBDUB AND FLUMMERY.

The new secretary of war. Judge
Taft was escorted from the railroad
station to the war department. bv "a
troop of cavalry. The retiring secre-
tary of war. MIR. Root, was escorted
from his residence to the railroad sta
tion by another, or preh aps the same
troop of cavalry. 1t has never been
the custom prior to Mr. Roosevelt $
regime, for even the president of the
United States to be escorted to and
from the railway station in Washing
ton by mounted or other soldiers.
A dispatch published Yesterday said
the escort given Judge Taft was by III p

ing secretaries of war pleasure to be
escorted by troops of cavalry should
the proletariat object?
But, it is pointed ont, when Judge
Taft was escorted by the cavalry he
was only a plain citizen. He had
not then been sworn in as secretary
of war. When Mr.. Root was simari
larly escorted he was also plain pri-

Then the vice president should have
a squadron, the secretary of state three

higher in the line of presidential sue
