Thus Nature closes with each year
Her Book of Shadows, where she keeps
The records of our hemisphere;
And maid who smiles, or man who weeps
Can find on pages blurred, yet filed,
With rose leaves or with sprigs of rue,
To mark where some sweet hope was killed
Or where loves prophecy proved true.
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

AI.
And worshippcd him on Bonded knee
A king, as proved by prophets pen,
Who, later, walked in Galilce
Despised, rejected among men;
Yet who new Commandment spake
That held the essence of the ten,
So all the way to bliss might take
Through Love, creations gift to men.

What wonder, then, we doubling stand
And watch salvation hosts go by!
The roads are many to the land
That lies beyond the human eye;
And if they meet and merge in one
Or further verge, who, living, knows
If angels, shining as the sun,
The gates of glory ope or close.
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

The shadows of the closing year
Are there; they in their bosom fold
Close clasped, the tale of smiles or tears
That comes to each, or young or old.
A Book of Shadows; on each leaf
Some moving finger wrote, and then,
A need of joy, dole of grief,
Sent as message unto men.
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

If, one by one, these pages closed
With words that varied with the day
If in each bosom hope reposed,
Where no dread dragon barred the way
If Youth and Beauty, hand in hand,
Saw only roses where they walked
In bowcrics of overland
And of Edenic pleasures talked
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

For Youth, you know, has only eyes
For what lies close within its ken;
And years are needed to be wise,
And grief, as WE'LL to make us men,
With hearts where love is shrincd, to hold
All humankind as near of kin;
With arms that open to cnfold
Some child of sorrow or of sin.
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

AS the last pages of the year
Are closing for us, young or old,
Can we therein our title clear
Read, writ in words of glowing gold,
For that reward which comes to all
Who, from the rise to set of sun,
Would not single word recall,
Who have no duty left undonc?
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23
XII

Through centuries of doubts and fears
The soul, an hungered, dimly knew
The primal truth; while through these years
Mems crccds to greater number grew.
The martyr sought it at the stake,
The novice at the sacred shrine,
And holy wars were fought to make
The Cross salvation's only sign.
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

These, Bcthlehcm's gift on Christmas Day;
FAITH, standing on the Swallowed shore;
horE, pointing to the upward way
LOVE, the fulfillmcnt of all law.
these three are ours, despite all crceds,
For simple souls to hold most dear;
TO benson all human needs
And crown with JOY the closing year.

XIV.

But, in the passing of the year
That to the limbo of the past
Goes slow, as if it went in fear
OF shadows from its own book cast
And in the coming of the new
Who halls us in the rosy light?
Behold! these angels rise to view,
Whose radiance lights life s starlcss nj
The sun. (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1905-12-23

What mattered it if 0vcrthrown
Were those who in the shadow stood,
Who in their sunshine had no share,
Who were not of their brotherhood?
Whose books of years might number scores
While theirs had scarce the first one passed.
Whole ships, perchancc, on rockbound shores
Lay, shorn of anchor, sails or mast?

from her infancy, and can mount and
manage any of the animals her father
keeps. When she went into the burn

smoke and were pulling at their halt
ers. They all became docile under
her hands, and when taken out allow
ed other members of the family to tie
them to trees and posts.
After the fire Chief Allen congratu-
lated Miss Roebling highly. He said
that if she had not acted so promptly
the animals would have been smother

went into the house to change her
drenched dress.

Stories Of High Society"

Of features. The late emperor had re-
cruits sent to him and told them off
according to their looks. What child
ishness! There is one regiment of
men all marked with the smallpox
This Paulovski regiment did one thing
which amused me. Just before the
cortege came up they all blew their
noses with their fingers at the word
of command, and this was in order
that none of them might sneeZe when
the emperor passed, as their doing so
would bring him bad luck!"
When Mr.. Motley, the historian,
was American minister to London he
had trouble at his first dinner party.
Mr.. Leveson-Gower says: "At that
time couples were sent in to dinner in
pairs, but nobody's place was fixed.
Unfortunately the Turkish ambassa-
dor was allotted to Lady Waldegrave,
who did not care to have him as her
neighbor. She consequently told him
that his place was at the other side
of the table. He, with oriental polite
ness, did as she babe him, and sat
down opposite to her. This upset the
whole arrangement. The couples wan
dered about the room like sheep that
were being driven out of field. Mr..
Motley, who had every merit except
a good temper, went into a passion
and nearly died of laughing"

F. Leveson-Gower, long prominent
in England, has lately published vol
ume of "reminiscences, in which he
tells the story of Princess Lieven:
What the princess chiefly suffered
from was intense boredom, which
amounted almost to a disease. If no.
body called during the afternoon she
would roll on the floor from ennui.
On one occasion, when on her way
from England, she got so much alarm
ed at the prospect of travelling from
Calais to Paris alone that she offered
a seat in her carriage to a respectable
looking clergyman on board the
steamer, which he joyfully accepted.
When seated beside her he talked so
necessarily as to drive her wild. She
could only relieve her feelings by put
ting her head out of the window and
screaming out to the wind, IL men

In the EOS Mr. Leveson-Gower re-
sided in st. Petersburg. He tells this
story: Composite to our house was
drawn up a regiment called Paulov-
ski, formed by the Emperor Paul, all
the men having turned-up noses, and
therefore resembling him. 1t seems it
was the fashion here to compose regi-
ments of men who have the same sort

Brave Woman Saved Horses

Miss Emily G. Roebling, the young
est daughter of Charles G. Roebling,
head of the Roebling corporation of
Trenton, N. j., while sitting at her
drawing-room window a few days ago
saw flames coming from her fathers
immense stable. Miss Roebling rushed
out and unaided rescued nine thor
oughbred horses, says the New York
Times. The gardener summoned the
fire department.
When the first hose carriage turned
into the yard the horses took fright
at the steep incline to the barn and
started to run away in the direction
of the large conservatory where Mr..
Roebling raises his valuable and ia
nous orchids.
Miss Roebling, who is noted for her
daring horsemanship, grabbed the off
horse by the bride and this turned
the animals head away from the glass
house. BY this time Miss Roebling
was n full-nedged volunteer member
of the paid fire department. She as
sisted in recoupling a burst length of
hose and seemed to enjoy the wetting

but $500 damage.

HUMAN BEINGS With TAILS.
Belief In Existence Of Such People
Quite General.


Mention of an obscure belief in 9th
err countries that Englishmen used to
wear tails has prompted correspond
ent to submit further information re-
garding the subject of tails in general.
DR.. John Wolff, an old-time writer,
said: There is even In England
gentleman of dark complexion and OF
great talents who walks exactly as II
he had a tail, and people OF high rank
told me that he and his family were
known to have tails, and therefore In
his carriage there is hole in the seat
where he sits, in order that he may
be able to sit comfortably"
Barring Gould's Curious Myths OF
the Middle Ages" contains the follow
ing: CDR. Wolff in his travels and
adventures SAYS: There are men
and women In Abyssinia with tails
like dogs and horses Wolff also heard
from a great many Abyssinians and
Armenians land Wolff is convinced OF
the truth of IT'D that there are near
Narea, in Abyssinia, people-men and
women-with large tails, with which
they are able to knock down a horse,
and there are also such people near
China" A note in Baring-Gould's
book adds: "In the College OF Ply
sicians and Surgeons at Dublin may
still be seen human skeleton with
a tail seven inches long. There are
many known instances of this elonga-
ton of the caudal vertebra, as in the
Poonangs in Borneo. "-Chicago News.

No Freemasonry in China

The installation of grand master
of the Chinese secret orders in the
United States, popularity known as the
Chinese Freemasons," has aroused
interest in the question of the connec-
ton between the Chinese secret socie-
ties and the Masonic body. says the
Washington Star. Allusions to Chi
nese Freemasonry" appear periodical
ly in the newspapers, though, accord
ing to the Cyclopedia of Fraternities,
there is no such thing as Freemason-
ry among the Chinese.
The only Masonic lodges in China
are in the foreign concessions at the
seaports. Their membership Is COM
posed exclusively of others than Chi
nese and they are conducted under
foreign warrants. The rites of the
Chinese secret societies bear some re-
semblance to those of the Free
masons, which accounts for the popu-
lar supposition of connection be-
tween the two. The similarity, though
more apparent than real, is remark
able in view of the antiquity of both,
and the impossibility of either to have
been patterned after the other.
China is filled with secret societies,
most of which have for their object
the overthrow of the Using dynasty,
with a pretended benevolent signifi-
canoe of the organization. The most
powerful of these societies. the Ka-

WATER MEETING.
farmers Con0resate to Hear State Engineer
fxplaia Ills Plans for Settlement of
Water Matters,

State Engineer Thurtell arrived
here last Saturday from Carson and
that afternoon held a meeting in
Craig's Hall to discuss water mat
tiers. The afternoon meeting was
very largely attended PAd consider
able y rest was shown. Mr.. Thur
tell explained his method of proceed
ure in substance as follows:
Blank forms are prepared and
given to each water appropriation to
be by them filed out. These forms
require the appropriation to make a
sworn statement of the time his
ditch was taken out, how much
water was claimed, how much land
was irrigated the first year and each
subsequent year, etc. These state
ments will be collected and printed
in pamphlet form and each water
appropriation will receive one. Sixty
days will be allowed after the pub
LEGATION of proofs for fling of pro-
tests, and all protested claims will
be tried before the State Engineer
at Yerington and Wellington. No
evidence will be allowed in these
hearings except the sworn evidence
of witnesses and competent docu-
mentary evidence. From this evil
dence the State Engineer makes
his findings and determines the pri-
ority and also the year in which
each claim should be listed. These
findings with the evidence will be
filed with the Court and reviewed
and corrected, and the result will
be decree of the Court.
After discussing this method tor
some time all present at the meet
ing agreed to adopt this course, pro-
vided Miller & Lux would Join
hands. This the Miller & Lux peo-
pie have agreed to do, we are in
formed, and Mr.. Thurtell and his
assistants expect to begin the secur-
ing of evidence at an early date.
The time required to prove up
rights by this method will be much
shorter and the expense consider
ably less than if the suit was to go
on, and it now looks as though
there was a chance to straighten
out the tangled mess into which
the water question has fallen in this
section and get at the true solution
of the whole business by organic
ing and storing water.
