The shades of night were falling fast.
When up through West Virginia passed
A youth who held within his hand
A banner with this strange command:

He sang. as Davisward he set;

Try not that task" the maiden cried
But only fruitlessly she sighed.
For he replied: I'VE need :he stuff,
And chortled then in accents gruh;

At such self-confidence appalled,.
"Dost think his name is GiyeawnyT
The youth sang. through the dying day

On. on he went, by hill and dale.
Until the night at dawn grew pale.
And then at last, with heart elate.
He murmured TO the candidate;

He saw the barrel round and fair
Alasi he saw no bunghole therei
The candidate without his specs

"You heard when yon were notifeds'
The earnest youth at once replied
And then more vigorously cried:

They found him. frozen stif and cold
His banner still within his hold
And now they send no strange device.
They simply say: 1--WE want the price

BY actual test In southern California
it has been found---counting the urban
and rural populations together-that one
and one-half acres Of irrigated land will
support one person. and it is estimated
that this can ultimately be reduced to
single acre for each individual.

Benjamin Brown, of Richview. Illinois,
has been somewhat neglectful concerning
his registration as a voter. Now he has
registered, because he wants to vote foi
Roosevelt. The only remarkable featur,
about this case is that Mr. BENJAMIN
Brown is just one hundred years of age
But, after all. even this feature is moi
remarkable. because no American citi.
zen who has acquired the wisdom OF
hundred years could do anything else
than vote for Roosevelt in this campaign.

London, April 1s.-Viceroy AleNieff,
tclegraphing says;
"At Q a. m. until d p. IN. Il japanese
fleet of II vessels in two divisions
BON barded Port Arthur and fired ls5
proiectiles ut the Russian fleet. The
battleship Pobeida answered from her
anchorage The battleshipa replied.
Five men were wounded The town
sustained no damage.
Paris. -Information received in gov
eminent quarters now establishes the
fact that n naval battle occurred be-
tween the Japanese fleet, consisting OF
fourteen war ships, and the force I'M
der the late Vice Admiral Makaroff.
From this the officials strongly incline
to the conclusion that the destruction
of the Russian ships and the loss of the
admiral resulted in naval engage
ment. However, the only definite Off
cial information is that battle
occurred and it is said that japanese
submarine boats took part in the en-
gagement and caused the destruction
of the Russian battleships.
st. Petersburg.-There are now only
two unchanged battleships-the Per-
esviet and the Sevastopol-in the har-
Dor at Port Arthur, but some OF the
damaged vessels have been repaired.
London.-A correspondent at sea off
the coast of Korea says be believes
that the entrance of Port Arthur is
sealed.
Paris.-A cable report received at
the foreign office here says that the
imperial palace at Seoul. Korea, is
completely destroyed by fire. The fire
began in the evening and lasted
throughout the night Only-the ruins
of the palace remain. The emperor
and his suite succeeded in escaping to
a nearby refuge The report does not
mention any loss of life nor does 1t
give the cause of the fire, but the re-
cent political unrest in the Korean
capital leads to fears that the destruc-
ton of the palace was the work Of the
rebellious element.

RUSSIA LOSES A BATTLESHIp.
While RetreaiIng From a Naval Battle

ing out to meet the Japanese fleet off
Port Arthur, the Petropavlovslf struck
n mine in the outer roadstead, heeled

Only four officers We're saved, among
them being the Grand Duke Cyril. The
Petropavlovsk was flying the flag of
Vice Admiral Makaroff, who was one
of the victims The action fought of
Port Arthur appears to have consisted,
according to the reports received here,
of an unsuccessful attempt made by
four Japanese cruisers and one battle
ship to intercept large Russian
cruiser coming from the east. The
Russian protected cruiser Askold and
II battleship of the. Pobedo type went
to the assistance of the Russian
cruiser. The forts at Port Arthur did
not participate in the action.
The mass of the reports agree IN
two statements that Grand Duke Cy-
ril between whom and the throne
there is only single life. was
wounded, and that the Petropavlovsll
was lost. 1t is estimated that from
600 to 700 men persisted.
Viceroy Alexeiff sends this to the car:
According to reports from the COM
mandant at Port Arthur, the battle
ships and cruisers went out to meet
the enemy, but owing to the enemy
receiving achievements making his
total strength 30 vessels, our squadron
returned to the roadstead, whercupon
