Shaw as a Humorist.

Next to Mark Twain, our isvorite
humorist is Secretary Shaw, says
the Omaha World Herald. We CON-
mend him to our readers and to fun
loving people everywhere. One dose
Of Shaw will cure the blues, and the
full treatment OF twenty speeches is
warranted to put an end to the
worst case Of chronic dyspepsia.
Herewith Is q homeopathic dose Of
Shaw, culled from the Associated
Press dispatches:
"The secretary spoke for two
hours, the larger portion OF his ad-
dress being devoted TO explsining
the benefit the tariff was to the coun-
try and how impossibleit was to an
initiate the trusts. He praised the
Sherman law and asserted that no
stronger one could be put on the
statute books"
Nov just let that soak I'M
Isn't 1t delicious, when you get the
full favor Of 1t?
The tariff, which builds up the
trusts, which protects them and
gives them power to levy tribute,
says the secretary, with owl-like wis
dom, Is OF incalculable benefit to the
country. As to the trusts, buttress-
ed and shielded by the tariff, 1t is i'm
possible to annihilate them.
But, nevertheless and notwith.
standing, the Sherman antitrust
law, whose sole and avowed purpose
1t is to punish trust maleiactors end
put trusts out Of business, is accord
ed highest praise by the secretary.
"No stronger one" he says, "could
be put on the statute books"
What joker ever got OF anything
clever than that?
II is impossible to annihilate the
trusts, but the Sherman law, for an
initiation Of the trusts, is q strong
and powerful measure, that alls the
bill exactly!

In review OF the situation which
brings about his change Of heart,
Ar. Lyon points to the fact that the
Republican party has failed In every

went into Office two years ago. He
says he Is convinced that the Repub-

1 Down on the beach a crowd had
gathered. Men we're running to~and

way to the town. He was hatless and
disheveled, and, as he drew near, she
saw that hts face was CHASTITY.

breathlessly. "They have just brought
him in and are carrying him to the
chapel. The Padre is with him, but
nothing can avail him now. He went
out this morning with the fishermen,
and, In coming In, the boat was over
turned. All but Diego was brave.
Thanks to his courage, all were saved
but himself. Two lives hath he res
cued from death, and I, for one, declare
that it had blotted out his transgres-
sions--"
The speaker broke off abruptly and
caught at Rosas arm. Her face was
ashen, and he thought she would have
fallen.
with a bitter cry, she broke away
from him and sped toward the crowd
on the beach.

As if from a dream, Rosa started

as the lilies upon her heaving bosom.

The name fell involuntarily from her
unwilling lips.

children, and they rolled eggs with the
other children, as common clay as their
associates, not the children OF the
President of the United States, but the
children of an American citizen. Per

them, but they didn't know it and they

sters who romP over the White House

There was a time however, when the
children Of Washington did not roll
eggs on the Presidents grounds. Not
that they did not roll eggs though, Oh
no! The have always rolled eggs on
Easter Monday. But they used TO roll
them in the Capitol grounds, down the
steep terrace which was on the west
front of the Capital. Then there came
a time when the Capitol grounds were
changed, and q big flight of steps built
where the terrace used to be, and some
dyspeptic in Congress objected to the
children romping on the smooth grass
of the big sward and rolling their eggs.
General Hayes was President then,
and he heard of it, and how dissapoint-
ed the children were because they had
no place to roll their eggs that year.
and the kindly man said: "Why let
them roll their eggs on the White
House grounds and enjoy themselves. "

A stretch Of azure sky, changing to
the opal tints of evening; smiling ex-
panse Of sea, with long line of curling
breakers flashing the sandy beach
that is what Rosa might have seen as
she stood by the Gala lily hedge, with
the faint breeze stirring the magnolia
blossoms.
Yet 1t is doubtful if she saw any
thing. Her eyes held a dreamy far
away look, and the waving green
branches outlined like laceworlz

the wilderness OF bloom were lost up.

In her arms was q profusion of ILL
les, spray upon spray, almost more than
her slender arms could carry, for the
morrow was Easter day. Tall and stat
ely as a lily herself, Rosa stood, lost
IN meditation, her face scarcely less
fair and pure than the waxen blossoms,
and as colorless, save for the scarlet
mouth with its naughty curves. A
pure, proud face was ners, and cold as
the white mist that, like a dim
squadron, was stealthily marching in
from the sea.
On the still, 1anguorous air, suddenly
clear, sweet note rang out-the
chimes OF the old mission bells. The
sacred music reached Rosa's ears,
arousing her from her reverie. Dis
engaging one slender hand she made
the sign of the cross; her lips moved
silently
There was q sound near at hand of
slow, hating footsteps. A man, young,
but of haggard countenance, was APP
preaching under the shadow OF the
acacias.
But Rosa only heard the vesper
chimes.
Nearer the man drew until he stood
humbly before her, his head barred,
his shabby hat in his trembling hand.
He raised his eyes, full of dumb visit
fulness to her face. The passionate
love and despair of tortured soul was
in them. He stood motionless, as on
awaiting his sentence.
Sweet and high the chimes of the
bells arose and fell. Something like
a sob escaped the mans lips; his thin,
brown fingers worked convulsively.
