TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

A cry of horror burst forth from the

Thousands of willing hands would have
averted the catastrophe If possible, but
everybody realized that nothing could
be done.
Strong men groaned in anguish, and

Was 1t a horrible accident?
Worse than shati

A SPRING NIGHT.


The south wind through my open window
blows
Up from the sea,
And waves Of color veil the stars and bring
Your face TO me.
No spring DER comes. fraught with the
ripening breeze,
That turns those skies
From wintry gray to summers mystic
But your voice cries
Out Of the night and calls me from my rest
To drink your breath,
Blown from the south where Life was ever
And now is-Death.
l stretch my arms to you in the soft. starr'd
And call your name ~
And the lisping tongue of the mocking
south wind breathes
Sweetly the same.
Out of the south you send your breath to
me,
With Memory's waves
And In the incense OF your flowing hair
My spirit laves.
feel your heart I'm the respiring night
Throbblng for me,
There in the south, as trembles the maiden
moon
On the verge o. the sea.

wasp, singing this one and that, and
raising a commotion generally. Mr.
Chandler wearied sometimes of the
purposely start a turmoil, in order to
liven things up. On particularly dull
day, Chandler would nervously twist
about In his chair, glance up at the
press gallery. and, IL he noticed some
of his newspaper friends there, would
look out for some fun"
Then the Senator would inject him.
self into the debate, no matter what 1t
was, and he was invariably able to stir
up the opposition and precipitate a
vitriolic controversy. 1t did not matter
what subject was under discussion,
Chandler could always use 1t as an ex-
cuse for saying something that would
stir up the democrats. When Senator
Ben" Tillman first came to the SEN
ate he was Chambers particular
victim. Tillman did not under
stand Chandler, and looked upon
the latter as possessing all the
narrowness and partisanship That the
southerners had been led to believe
characterized New Englanders. It was
the rule, therefore, when Chandler
prodded the democrats that Tillman
would respond and get quite excited.
The South Carolinian would get red In
the face, and denounce various policies
that Chandler and northerners stood
for, and before the excitement was over
half dozen senators would be mixed
up, and some pretty tart repartee would
be INDUCED.
After getting things moving along
to his satisfaction and having set a
number Of his colleagues by the ears
Chandler would quietly slip from the
chamber. chuckling over the row he
had precipitated.

foreign market. For years past Amer
lean consuls abroad have written re-
ports and given advice upon this sub
ject, and warned American shippers
to foreign ports that they must con-
form to the business methods OF
the countries where they expect
to sell their goods. All this agi-
tation, however, has not made the
American shipper as wise as he should
be.
In recent report from United States
Consul Mentally, in Belgium, some very
appropriate hints are given as to how
to increase American foreign trade.
He says that American manufacturers
contemplating an entrance into foreign
markets must show their products
possess the merit claimed for them,
and must meet the traditional trade
customs, especially in the all important
matter Of credit. Buyers abroad de-
sire to see the goods before paying for
them, and as this right is freely &C
corded them by the manufacturers OF
other countries, they cannot understand
why American manufacturers do not
follow the same policy. In many cities
OF Europe the retail dealer extends to
his customers a credit Of six months
or a year. and manufacturers Of the
larger European countries sell goods on
any TERMS to suit the retail buyer.
The consul expresses the opinion that
when American manufacturers Aeet
those Of other countries In open com
petition. both in the quality Of the
goods and In the terms Of credit, the
markets will be theirs.

spacious garden filled with flowers and
shade trees. 1t was Senator Hanna's
custom to have his breakfast table set

Hanna's friends in the cabinet and IN

Nothing like this toothsome dish had

Its fame spread far and wide, and Sen
ator Hanna never lacked for guests.
Two or three times a week Presi-

to the music of the birds and reveling
in the celebrated hash, the late presi-

public question of any kind arises that
does not interest Chandler, and on
which he does not have his say in
one form or another, and to which he
does not usually contribute illuminat-
ing thoughts and good advice. On the
other hand, there is hardly popular
subject which does not afford Chandler
a vehicle for his well known wit and
satire.
The ex-senator has been having a
lot of fun recently with candidates for
the presidential nomination in 1908
He first sat down and wrote a letter
to Vice President Fairbanks in which
he praised the latter's ability as a
statesman, expressed admiration for
his conservatism, predicted great popu
larity for him as candidate, and
wound up by saying that he. Fair
banks, was the ideal candidate for the
presidency in 1908. In minute
hand Chandler added postscript to
the effect that he had written similar
letter to Secretary Taft, Secretary
Shaw, Postmaster-General Cortelyou
and Senator Foraker. Mr.. Fairbanks
did not at first notice this postscript
and he sat down and wrote a very ap-
preciative reply to Mr.. Chandler, thank
ing him for the expressions of conf
dence he had uttered, and saying that
there was no warrant for the public use
Of his name in connection with the
presidential nomination, but he was
very grateful to Mr.. Chandler for the
latter's preferred support.
The waggish statesman did write
similar letters to all the other candi-
dates, but attached the qualifying post
script. and they all appreciated the
humor, as did Mr.. Fairbanks when his
attention was called to the little joker.
Secretary Shaw cut the postscript of
his letter and sent word to Chandler
he was going to use the latter in his
campaign, and exploit the New Hamp-
shire man as the original Shaw man.
