X Osalie the Prairie Flower.

Resale, the Prairie Flower.
On the distant prairie where the heather
wild
In its quiet beauty lived and smiled,
Stands little cottage, and creeping
vine
Loves around it's porch to Irvine.
In that peaceful dwelling was lovely
child
With her blue eyes beaming soft and
mild.
And the waving ringlets of her faxen
hair.
Floating in the summer air.
CHORUS
Fair as a lily. joyous and free.
Light Of the prairie home was she.
Ev'ry one who knew her felt the magic
power
or Rosalie. the prairie flower.
On that distan. prairie when the days
were long.
Tripping like a fairy. sweet her song.
With the sunny blossoms and the birds
at play.
Beautiful and bright as they.
When the twilight shadows gathered in
the west,
And the voice of nature sunk to rest.
Like a cherub kneeling seemed the lovely
child.
With her gentle eyes SO mild.
CHORUS.
Fair as lily. joyous and free.
Light OF that prairie home was she.
Ev'ry one who knew her felt the gentle
power
or Resale the prairie flower
But the summer faded and the chilly
blast
Ger that happy cottage swept at last:
When the autumn birds woke the dewy
morn.
Little prairie flower was gone.
For the angels whispered softly in her
eur,
Child. thy Father calls thee; stay not
here"
And they gently bore her. robed in spot
less white.
To their hlissful home Of light.
CHORUS.
Though we shall never look on her more
Gone with the love and joy she bore.
Far away she's blooming. in a fadsiess
bower
Sweet Rosalie. the prairie flower

zone Touch Of Nature"
For time is like a fashionable host
That slightly shakes his parting guest by

And with his arms outstretched, as he
would fly.
Grasps in the conner; welcome evel
smiles.
And farewell goes out signing. o, lei
not virtue seek
Remuneration for the thing 1t was;
For beauty. wit.
High birth. vigor Of bone. desert in ser

Love. friendship, charity. are subjects al
To envious and eliminating time.
One touch Of nature makes the whole
world kin
That all. with one consent, praise new

Though they are made and nodded o.

And give TO dust that is a little gilt
More laul than gilt O'erdusted.

From the Denper Republican,
White robins are almost as scarce as white
blackbirds. but for some reason this season
has been favorable for this kind Of sport
from nature. and several white nestlings
have been reported IN Denver and vicinity.
The only white robins to reach maturity
are those belonging to G. A. Lyman Of 1902
Race street, The eggs from which they came
looked just like the other two. There were
three robins Matched. but one was just like
his father and mother, an ordinary redbreas
The white robins were especial favorites
with the parent birds, and grew more rapidly.
After they had begun to fly out Of their nest
in an elm tree in his back yard Mr.. Lyman
Gagged the fedglings. but the mother con-
tinued to feed them until about a week ago.
Since she quit them they have become quite
tame. and eat out of their owners hand
The white robins are the same size and
shape as the redbreasts, but every feather
is snowy white and they have bright pink
cyes. AS is the case with most slbino animals
their sight Is not very good. and they will
peck at a worm several times before finally
getting it in their mouths.
Three years ago q white robin was Matched
out in nest In the same tree. but it died
before reaching maturity. The pair of robins
which Matched these white birds are old
birds. and Mr.. Lyman thinks they are the same
as those which Matched the white bird three
years ago.

 not inconsistent with the rules Of tn ? convention. At the suggestion of Sen. ator CullOm, of Illinois, the reading of
 the report was discontinued
 Senator Foraker of Ohio, offered the following amendment: Resolved. that the report of the committee on rules be amended so as to allow six dalegates from Hawaii, with six votes, in con- formity with her sister territories, Ar zona. New Mexico, Oklahoma, InJiln territory and Alaska" Senator For aker suggested that Governor Garter, cf Hawaii, who was on the platform, be heard from.
 With some excitement, Governor Car ter dashed to the front of the plat form. "Gertlemen of the convention Of the republican party" he said, there seems to be an impression on the part of some that Hawaii is not a terr'- tory. wish to call their attention to the fact that Hawaii is on the map of the United States and is now one Of it's possessions. God grant that the occa- sion may not arise, but if war comes in the Pacific, the Sandwich islands vii be necessary to the American people. and Hawaii will not be found want ing"
 MT. Bingham offered a substitute as follows That the representation from Hawaii shall be two delegates, provided that this shall not impair the rights and privileges of the six delegates al. e3dy seated in this convention"
 On this the first rollcan of the con- vention occurred. Senator Foraker moved to amend the substitute by in cludng in it Alaska, Arizona and New Mexico. The motion was not enter tained as a rollcall had been ordered. Oklahoma cast two ayes and Hawaii dcclined to vote at all. The vote re- suited 497 ayes, 49O noes. The chairman then put the vote on the adoption cf the substitute and declared the suhsti-. tute adopted by viva vooe vote. The report of the committee was then adopted amid cheers.
 Senator Lodge, of Massachuse t, chairman of the committee on resolu- tions, then proceeded to the rostrum platform in hand. MT. Lodge read the report of the committee in a clear car rying voice that reached the remotest corner of the hall and commanded close attention.

PROTECTION.

The platform declares adherence to the following principles: Protection which guards and develops our indus tries is a cardinal policy of the repIb- liCan party. The measure of protec- ton should always at least be equal to the difference in the cost of production, at home and abroad and there fore rates of duty should De re-adjusted only when conditions have SC changed that public interest de- mands their alteration. We believe in the adoption of al! practicable me thods for the further extension of our foreign markets. including commercial reciprocity wherever reciprocal ar engagements can be effected consistent with the principle of protection and without injury to American agriculture, American labor and American industry.
 It is the duty of the republican party to maintain and uphold a gold stand ard. It approves the creation of q merchant marine commission, favors legislation to encourage and upbuild an American merchant marine. It calls for a navy powerful enough to defend the United States against any attack to uphold the Monroe doctrine, watch over our commerce and the welfare of the American people. It approves ti,e administrations attitude toward Chi nese exclusion. It renews adherence to the civil service. It recommends q liberal administration on the pension laws.
