THE WEALTHY PAuPER


Upon an Office stool he sat.
And figured with his pen
His pen was new. his years were few.
His weekly wage was ten.
But still he scrubbed patiently.
And never said word;
And the clinking of the dollars was
The only sound he heard.
His raise came--and another
But still he scratched away;
When he had made his pile, he said,
He'd take holiday.
Yet, while the songs of Springtims
The souls of lovers stirred,
The clinking of the dollars was
The only sound he heard.
And summers fed, and winters.
And love came straying by;
He closed his ears, as one who hears
A SIRENS melody;
And out among the meadows
There caroled many a bird
But the clinking of the dollars
Was the only sound he heard.
Age crept up in the nighttime,
And bowed his busy head;
His eyes grew dim, each stiffening liml
Was weighted as with lead.
"Was that Deaths echoing footstep!
Nay-'tis thought absurd
For the clinking of the dollars
Was the only sound he heard.)
Sad voices chant a requiem,
And still he does not hear:
Great earth-clods fall upon his pan,
But trouble not his ear;
And even the Choir Celestial
Won't wake the senses blurred
By the clinking of the dollars
The only sound he heard.

How Real Virginia Colored Woman

How a Real Virginia Colored Woman
Gets What She Wants.
There is a certain young married
woman in Washington who has a
| charming fat in one of the uptown
apartment houses. She was born and
reared in Virginia, and, consequently,
sets great store by the colored race
from her own particular State, says
the Washington Star. She maintains
that they make the most reliable as
| well as the most efficient help. and her
servants are always from the Old Do
Esminion.
A chum of hers felt privileged to
often admire her exquisite taste in
dress, especially some of the pretty
negliges-which are always particular
~ dainty when worn by pretty wom-
an. While calling on her the other
day this chum asked to see a fimsy
pink thing which she had seen her
friend occasionally wear and which
she wished to have copied. What was
her establishment when her friend said
that she had given it to the cook, who
had such a cute way of getting around
one that it was simply impossible to
refuse the poor thing even ones pref
test neglige.
Being from the North, 1t was utterly
impossible for the visitor to compre-
bend how a colored maid servant could
perform a feat of diplomatic strategy
so complete as to fairly wrest away a
pretty woman's dearest trea sure - a
pink silk kimono, all folds of billowy
lace. However, her ears were soon to
be opened and her eyes made to see,
for just then the mother of the friends
| laundress came into the room and
beam1ng old black NANNY and sat
down Familiarity on a low seat while
Mrs. K. proceeded to count and check
or from her list the clothes the wom-
an had brought. Then began the con-
versation which was to illustrate the
diplomacy Of tie Virginia colored race.
II declar', Hiss Mildred, surely is
glad to see you 50 sprightly this morn
in. nsve. seed you look prettier,
| with the roses all bloomin' in your
cheeks an your face mos fat again.

come for the wash this mornin'. Now,
maybe you don't know ii, Miss Mil
dred, but that there gal O mine surely

Concerted Effort to Dissunde the
Car From Concluding Peace.

ST. Petersburg, June 2O.-The wal
party has by no means surrendered. On
the contrary, backed by the military
element, it is making a concerted ef.
fort to dissuade the emperor from con-
Guiding peace. Even with the two
armies already clinching. members of
the war party are filing st. Petersburg
and Petorhof with optimistic views,
and Lieut.. Gen. Linevitch and his lieu
tenants are reinforcing their argu-
ments with roseate reports of the STRAIT
esic situation. Many Russian corre-
%spondents at the front, evidently in
spired from st. Petersburg, are flood
ing their papers with dispatches in the
same strain.
The Novoe Vremya's correspondent.
IN his zeal against the conclusion of a
humiliating peace, points to the haz-
ards for the government in ~disbanding
an army Of half a million men with

NEGOTIATIONS
MOVING SLOWLY
The Course of Diplomacy Doesnv
Move With Rapid Strides.
EACH STEP CAREFULLY TAKEN
Calls by Minister Tnknhira and Am.
bassndor Cnssini IL the surs of
the Days Developments
AZ Washington.

Washington, June 20.-Practically no
new developments are observable in
the negotiations for peace between
Russia and Japan. President Roose-
welt, for a day of two, has been deeply
! engrossed in other matters, and while he
has not for a moment lost sight Of the
arrangements for bringing together
the far eastern belligerents, he has re-
allied fully that the next move in the
great game of diplomacy now being
played is with the contending nations
themselves. That move Is the selection
of the envoys TO represent them at the
Washington conference.
Both Minister Takahira Of Japan and
Ambassador Cassini. of Russia, called on
the president Monday afternoon. Short
~ before three o'clock Minister Taxa
hira drove to the White House and was
received by the president in the blue
room.
Soon afterward Ambassador Cassinf
drove to the executive residence and
was received by the president in his
private Office. His call was brief. As
he was leaving the White House he
said that the negotiations were moving
forward slowly. He added that he had
not conveyed to President Roosevelt
the names of the Russian p%lenipoten-
~tiaries, and had not received from him
the names of those of Japan.
While the same reserve hat hitherto
has characterized the personal ex-
changes which have taken place were
manifested about the interviews of AM
bassador Ca3sini and Minister Taxa
hira. it is known that they were not
Of great Importance. Each of the
~diplomatists presented to the president
official advices from his government
expressive of the satisfaction felt at
both st. Petersburg and Toxic owe the
selection Of Washington as the seat
of the peace conference. The president
already had been advised by AmbasSa-
dor Meyer, al st. Petersburg. and Min
lister Griscom, at Toxic, of the cordial
feeling felt toward Washington by the
Russian and japanese governments.
Personal assurances Of that feeling
conveyed It him by the representatives
OF both powers served simply to ac-
centuate the official advices received
from this governments officials.
Whether the conference will actually
sit in Washington or not, has not been
determined; of course that is a detail
which will be left to the ENJOYS them
selves by their respective governments.
II is said nat no decision will be
reached on that point until the confer
ees meet here and organize.

Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's

S~cdgwick, Ark, June l9.-The case of w.
s. Taylor's little son - looked upon by
those interested in medical matters as one
of the most wonderful on record. In this
connection his father makes the following
stateHent:-
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen
to such an extent hat he could not walk
or put his shoes on. The treatment that
the doctors were giving him seemed to
do him no good. and two or three people
said his days were short, even the doctors,
two of the best in the country told me he
would not get better. | stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. | gave him three Pills a
day, one :norning, noon. and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth day
the swelling was all gone, but to give
the medicine justice, | gave him eleven
more Pills. l used thirty-ive Pills in all
and he was entirely cured. l consider
your medicine saved my shlld's life. When
the thirty-tive Pills were given him, he
could run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms

After a fever, such as typhoid or scar

this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been i'll with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex-
ceptfo build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how.
ever, she met with disappointment.
81 took the Doctors tonics," she says,
"for two months after I had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me
the good I looked for. My strength came
back so slowly that I scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. Just
then l read in a book thrown In our
yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders and
strength-givers DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are. I got a box of them soon after
this and after I had taken only about
half Of them I could see a very great i'm.
provement in my condition. When I
had used up two boxes, I felt that I did
not need any more medicine. I have
remained strong ever since"

In cases Of debility due to ovcrwork they
