A SUMNER NIGHT.

Summah is de lovin' time
Do keer what you say.
Night is allus peart an prime,
Bettah dan de day;
Dough de day is sweet an good,
Birds a-singin fine,
Pines a-smellin' in de wood
But de night is mine.
Rivah whisperin' ''Howdy doc"
Ez it pass you by;
Moon a-lookin' down at you,
Winkin' on de sly.
Frogs a-croakin fom de pom,
Singin bass dey fill
An you listen way beyon'
OF man whippo will.
Hush up, honey, tex my han,
Max, yo' footsteps light;
Somepn' kin o hol's de lam
On summah night.
Somepn' dat yOu neyah sees
An you nevah hyeahs,
But you feels it in de breeze
Somepn' night to teahs.
Somep'n' nigh to teahs? OATS SO:
But hits nigh to smiles.
An you feel it ez you go
Down de shinin' miles.
TEX my han, my little dove:
Hush an come erWay-
Summah is de time fu' love,
Nighttime beats de day!

A baggage man on the Hannibal diEi-
sion Of the Burlington was hauling q
corpse into his car, and imagine his feel
ings when he heard strange, unnatural
voice coming from the oblong box, say
ing: Let me out of here" When he re-
covered from his first fright he ran for
his conductor, who arrived just in time
to hear the uncanny sound, The whole
train crew was called and a brave engi-
neer investigated, Sitting near the coffin
was a small square box. Listening, the
engineer heard a scratching, and again
the voice Let me out of here" The
smaller box opened and a little green par
rot popped out.-Kansas City Journal.

NEW DEFINITION OF SLAVERY.

Slavery: the absolute, irresponsible
ownership of one class of human be-
lngs by another class; contract in
which the only factors are might or
the one side and helplessness on the
other; servitude exacted by force.
Slavery has existed in all countries
from the earliest recorded periods
The most enlightened philosophers of
ancient Greece and Rome were unable
to conceive community of which a
ectlon was not enslaved by the rest
As a system, slavery by its long
continued, universal practice, and the
simple solution it afford of what in our
mouern world is referred to as the la
Dor difficulty, appeals to two powerful
human instincts: conservatism and
cupidity. The ethical unfairness of
one mans being made wholly subser-
Went to the will of another; forced to
labor for him without reward; his
chattel to retain, sell or STAY, as
though he were a horse or a dog, was
perceived from the earliest times. But
those most interested in the over
throw of the system, the slaves them
selves, being ignorant, and purposely
Kept in that condition by their task
masters, suffered on, century after
century finding no champion for their
cause until the advent of the Redeem
er of Mankind. preaching universal
brotherhood and equal rights for all
men.
But the greater the wrong the long
er it takes to right it. and Christs
words were but the seed from which
has sprung our great harvest of free
dom 1t has been a harvest of slow
growth. For ages after the divine
words were spoken on behalf of the
slave ty the first and greatest of his
advocates, slavery was still regarded
by many nations as indispensable to
their existence Indeed, eislteer
centuries elapsed before there was any
Improbable awakening to the deep in

der the control of jurisdiction of the
Swedish foreign minister
The crisis, which yesterday led to
the ending OF the union, began on Feb
8 last, when the then premier Hager,
up, made a sensational speech in the
storthing announcing the failure of
negotiations with Sweden and declar-
ing the time had arrived for Norway
to declare her independence OF
Sweden. The same day King Oscar
gave up the reins of government to
Corwn Prince Gustaf. whose policy
favors keeping Norway in the union
even if force be necessary.
On Feb. % the crown prince sent
a warning to the Norwegian storthing,
way of granting Norway's demands
and closing with the injunction that
the storthing before taking any
radical action consider carefully the
consequences of its act
The crown princes message had no
effect on the Norwegian legislative
body. however for the bill establish
ing separate consular system was
pushed and two weeks ago was
unanimously passed. The king vetoed
the measure. and this veto is what
gave the Norwegians their op-
portunity for dissolving the union.
Upon receipt of the kings veto
Premier Nicholson and his associates
in the cabinet Immediately resigned.
The Norwegians being unanimous in
their demands of Sweden. the king
was unable to find man to form
new cabinet. The king being unable
10 form a ministry, the storthing pro-
ceeded, as planted. to declare his
power at an end AID to dissolve the
union.
That the consular matter merely
was an excuse for Norway's action OF
yesterday is clearly demonstrated by
the fact that. despite the kings veto.
the consular bill could have beeA
made a law under the constitution by
being put through the storrning three
times.
