THE NIGHT BEFORE
By Clinton Scollard

By Clinton Scollard
Bring IVY we samite-mantled maids,
And c1ostral ivy that retains its glow
Despite the leveled ances of the snow
And We youths from out the forest shades
The silent heart of ancient oaken glades-
Bear freshly twined sprays of 1nistletoe
Beloved in Druid worship long ago,
Whose charm, so lovers witness, never fades.
Gather about the back-log-a great bole
That the hearth still keeps it's lyric soul,
And breathes, in memory of the choiring throng
That once its branches haunted, mellow chords;
And while the winged hours speed morrow-wards,
Marry your voices in sweet Christmas song!

dancing grotesquely. Were rich, rich!" he

.BOER COLONY IN
MEXICO THRIVES
BURGHERS ELIMINATE NATIVE
WILL LAY ASIDE MONEY.

MEXICO, August 27.-The colony Of
Beers which was established in the
Valley of the Conchas river in the
State of Chihuahua, about two ears
ago, is prospecting. The promoter Of
this colonization movement was Gen
eral Snyman. He directs the affairs Of
the colony. The land which the colo
nlsts own is very rich and is being
brought to a high state of cultivation.
A large crop of wheat and corn was
grown this season, and the colonists
will lay up money. The farms are well
stocked with cattle, horses and hogs.
Unlike other farmers in Mexico, the
Beers are doing without Mexican la
Dor as much as possible. Their eX-
perience with Mexicans the first year
proved that class of labor unreliable
and unsatisfactory The colony Is con-
stantly receiving recruits from South
Africa. The latest to arrive are w. j.
Viljoen and wifi, parents of General
Benjamin Viljoen. General Viljoen has
four grown sons in the colony.

MAN AS A BAcK NUMBER.

When it comes to sensational state
ments in psychology and sociology,
commend us to Chicago, where they
seem to discover more things which
are not so than any other center of the
globe. One of its learned educators
has just announced that man is a back
number, that women are increasing in
numbers and potentiality beyond men
and that the males will soon be driven
back to the farms for a chance to get a
living. He makes the categorical state
ment that more girl babies than boys
are born and that women have, accord
ing to returns in the last two census
years, leaped from a trife less than
four millions of wage earners to more
than five millions.

on board the submarine torpedo boat
Plunger He was aboard the vessel
three hours At one time the boat
was submerged for fifty minutes and
in that time was put through all the
submarine feats of which she is cap
able.
As soon as the president descended
into the boat, the manholes were
closed, and, conveyed by the naval
tender Apache. the Plunger started
for the sound No maneuvers were
attempted until the vessel was well
/ beyond the entrance to the bay. The
water where the trial took place is
about forty feet deep Soon after
the vessel reached the necessary
dspth she was directed downward
until she rested on the bottom of the
sound. The mechanism of the craft
was then explained infinitely to the
president by Lieut.. Nelson. so that he
afterward experienced no difficulty in
understanding the maneuvers which
were performed
While the president thus was rest
ing on the bottom of the sound in the
submarine boat the storm forty feet
above him was raging unnoticed.
The boat was put through all kinds
OF maneuvers, demonstrating every
movement necessary in the work for
which she is intended The lights
were turned out at one time and the
crew worked in inky darkness with
as much skill as they performed their
duties in the glare of the electric
lights.
The president expressed last night
his delight at the novel experience
and said he was immensely impressed
with the boat and with the manner
in which she was handled. In thus
Drawing the dangers of submarine
maneuvering the president has en-
deared himself to naval officers and
men the world over, and made Lieut..
Nelson the proudest and happiest
man in the navy.

drawn from that fact, and that there
was likely to be a variation of this
character from day to day.

CAIRO'S "AIR-TIGHT" QUARAN.
TINE IN FORCE.
Kentuckians Are Barred From South
ern Illinois Without a Permit
From authorities.

Cairo, H., Aug. 26.-At six o'clock
this morning the air-tight quarantine
of Cairo against the world went into
effect.
Guards have been placed at all the
roads leading into the city. Both
levees are being patrolled night and
day. and Acting Secretary of the State
Board of Health Palmer will draw the
train inspection tighter today, and
not single person will be allowed to
come into the city unless provided
with a permit signed either by DR..
J. A. Egan, the state secretary, or
Thomas A. Fuller, chairman of the
city board.
The quarantine of Cairo and the
state of Illinois against Paducah re-
mains the same, no one from Padu-
cab will today be allowed to enter
Cairo unless they have a permit from
the health authorities of Cairo. These
permits, however, will not allow the
holder to enter any other part of the
state.
This embargo against Paducah will
remain in force until the city officials
there appoint a physician as health
officer in whom the authorities in
this state have confidence and who
will not engage in selling health per-
mits as so many physicians there
have been guilty of doing. DR.. Palm
er has affidavits in his possession
from various parties, showing that a
large majority of the Paducah ply
icians have been trafiicing in per-
mits.

Got Through Quarantine.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 26.--Trav-
cling for 500 miles in trunk Will
liam Wilson is the first man who is
known to have evaded the Texas
shotgun quarantine. He made a bet
with a friend that he could get
through the lines without going into
a detention camp and then had him
self strapped in trunk and check
ed through to Houston. On his arri-
val the following day he wired
friends here to send on the amount
of the bet.
This is only one of the many pc
culiar methods which are being used
to escape the quarantine. Governor
Vardeman has declared martial law
in Mississippi City and any one try
ing to leave there runs the risk of
being shot.
