He tosses her above his head,
He romps until his face is red,
He holds her arm's-length just to see
The wonder of her witchery;
He talks in language soft and slow
That only babies know,
He pauses now and then TO gaze
Far off, as IL 'twere in maze,
And then with sudden sigh and start
He pressSs her unto his heart.
He sits her highnes on his knees
And huns her nursery melodies,
He shakes her rattle, jingles bells.
And, oh, such wondrous stories tells;
He lifts her little face to lay
Its softness on his own, and play
Her dimples were the deep wherein
"A thousand drops OF dew had been
And with his lips upon the brink
He'd lean to them to kiss and drink.

sixty degrees centigrade. which is
best obtained by the action of hot
iron.

The next time you buy syrup at the
grocery store don't make a point of
picking out a pale, light-colored art
icle under the impression that such
syrup is superior in delicacy to that
which is darker colored. The abb
sence of color in these light syrups
is said to be due either to the fact
that all the nutritious qualities have
been refined out of them or else that
they have been diluted with glucose
or bleached with sulphur.

Much interest is taken in the re-
cent opening of a gigantic siphon that
carries the water of the Aragon and
Catalonia irrigation canal across the
valleys of Soso and Ribabona. BY
this means water is brought to more
than 247,000 acres of land hitherto
virtually barren through lack of ir-
rigation. The great siphon consists
of two main tubes, five-eighths of a
mile long, and twelve feet five inches
in diameter, lined with steel plates
three millimeters thick, bound with
iron hoops and encased in concrete.
The tubes have a capacity of 1900
gallons a second.

Standard Oil Magnates Invest Their
Cash and Employ Hundreds OF
Thousands OF WOrkmen.

One thing about Standard oil and
the rich men who are recognized as the
Standard oil group-they keep their
money busy, says W. G. Nicholas, the
Washington correspondent of the Sa-
vannah News. They have it invested
in railroads, industrials, mines, steam
boats and numberless other going en-
terprises. They give employment to
hundreds of thousands of men and they
are actively developing the resources
of the country in every direction.
The leaders of the Standard oil
group early acquired habits of indus
try, close attention to business, the
knack of applying improved methods
to the conduct of their affairs and a
callous indifference to the opinions or
the welfare of whoever might run
against them or their plans. In the
making of their money they have al
ways recognized the fact that they
must keep their capital employed. In
the language of old BILL" Devery,
they have from the very beginning
exercised" their money. They have
never given it rest, and consequent
ly there is not rusty spot on one OF
their dollars. The most discreditable
feature which can be mentioned in con-
nection with Standard oil activity is
an uncontrollabl weakness for rig
cling" the stock market and trickily
separating the gambling public from
its surplus.
The Standard oil millionaires did
not get into Wall street until they had
made great fortunes in petroleum and
its bv-products. They knew nothing
about the stock market until late in
life, but once being bit by the bug of
speculation they never get enough OF
the game They find thorough enjoy
ment in putting up a job to milk the
market and are OftantimeS satisfied
with stingy profits that would hardly
engage the attention of some of the
combinations of the second class. The
excitement of the play fascinates them.
To trim" the street is their diverse
ment. With them rigging the stock
market takes the place of the horse
show, grand opera, monkey dinners
and other novelties which amuse So
cietv. Their Wall street speculatiOnS
are never allowed to interfere with the
serious business of running railroads,
manufacturing plants or mines for
what there is in them in the way OF
legitimate income.

A STRANGE CAMPAIGN.
Race Against Death in Alabama for
for United States Senator.

Race Against Death in Alabama for
for United States Senator.
1.-THE race for the succession to the
United States senate in our state is a
unique spectacle in American poll
tics, says Captain Milton Humes of
Huntsville, Ala. 'The term of Sena-
tor Morgan will expire in March, 1907,
and of Senator Pettus in March, 1909.
Probably no man in Alabama could
supercede them if they we're to make
the fight, and the contest now on is to
secure the endorsement for the success
sion in the event either of these dis
tinguished patriarchs should pass
away before the legislature convenes
in regular session.
"It presents a strange spectacle,
but in view of the advanced years of
both of the present senators and the
long period between the sessions of
the state legislature there seems to be
probably no other way out of the
question.

AFTER BETTER BULLET.
Government Making Tests at Spring
field ArmOry.

ACSNo at
field ArmOry.
Bullets which are lighter and more
pointed than those now in use are be-
ing tested at the government armory
at Springfield, Mass. The new bull
lets have much hatter trajectories than
the old type, and consequently are
more efficient against advancing ene-
mics. On a 1,000-yard range the light
er bullet passed through a screen at
the 500-yard mark at an elevation ten
feet lower than the bullet now in use.
1t is believed that for a distance of
700 yards out of 200 the lighter pro-
jectile is capable of damage, while a
heavier bullet would pass completely
over the heads of the enemy for a
much greater proportion of the dis
lance. The heavier bullet is admitted
to be more accurate and thus better
for sharpshooters. The test to deter
mine the comparative merits of the
pointed and blunt forms have not been
completed

Judge Arthur Darlington and Re
corder Henry L. Yost of Montclair,
n. j., had an unusual experience while
fishing in Pine brook. In an extra
effort to throw the line far into the
stream the recorder threw it high in
the air, with the result that the hooks
sinkers and line became lodged in Il
tree thirty-fve feet high. The fisher
men got a boy to climb the tree and
release the fishing tackle. When the
lad reached the limb on which the line
was entangled he shouted, you've
caught a flying fish," and descended
with his prize which was fast to the
hook An examination showed that
instead of a flying fish the recorder
had hooked a blue jay.

CoNyICTs ESCAPE ON ENGINE.
Locomotive Sent Back to Camp With
out Guiding Hand.


Two negro convicts, Bob Henderson
and Pete Williams, made their escape
from the convict camp at Milltown last
Wednesday by boarding an engine
that was standing just outside of guard
lines and opening the throttle. The
engine darted along the track toward
Naylor, and when four or five miles
away the fugitives stopped it and dis
mounted.
The engine was then reversed and
sent back toward Midtown at the rate
of 40 miles per hour. A switch was
thrown open and the engine was stop
ped by collision with some empty
cars and badly damaged, the tender
being demolished. A posse left imme-
diately in pursuit of the fugitives. and
track dogs were secured from Valdos-
ia. but they were not captured. Hen
derson was in for life term and Will
liams for twenty-year term.

POULTRY RAISING ON FARM.
Baker County Man Sells Wagon Load
of Chickens tor $50.

or ChICkenS IOr S0O.
Mr.. James NJ. Barnett, of Barnett's
Mill, Baker county, we'll known far
mer of this section, was in the city
today, with wagon load of chickens
for the local market. He says that
poultry raising as 'side line' on a
farm, is very profitable branch of
the industry. OF the IS chickens
which he brought to town, Mr.. Bar
nett sold fourteen for 40 cents each,
and II for IS cents each. These
chickens were all raised in his yard
and he considers them a good "pick-
up" He expressed the opinion that
more of the farmers of this section
would find poultry raising an easy
and profitable business if they under
stood better what good demand
there is for chickens and eggs, and
what good prices they bring in the
local market. Mr.. Barnett is an advO-
cate of the diversified farming" idea,
and says that as consequence of this
fact he feels as though he were more
independent than he would otherwise
be. AS proof of this fact, it may be
stated that Mr.. Barnett has cotton
which he is still holding from last
year, and he is not compelled to sell
his products until he gets ready, which
is generally at the most opportune
times from the standpoint of good
prices. Albany Herald.

hole.

While fishing in the Lehigh river
near Whitehaven, Pa, Patrick Tully,
Lehigh Valley conductor, hooked a
catfish which he could not land. He
was about to give up in despair when
another fisherman offered to wade the
stream and spear the fish.
To his surprise, the fisherman found
his line entering the bunghole of a
beer keg. The keg was dragged ashore
and found to contain four pound cat
fish, which had grown too large to pass
through the bunghole.

snake until it was stunned. Then
Miss Rice pinned it to the ground with
a hatpin, and 1t was soon killed. Then
the girls carried the dead snake to the

"MY SOUL TO KEEP. "
From the Atlanta News

How little do we know of the human
hearts that throb all about us-their
fierce temptations, their wild passions
their struggles, their triumphs and
their defeats.
whats done we partly may compute;
We know not what's resisted.
And in it all how the little prayer,
with all it's memories, is Rugged to
the bosom, as a shield between one OF
Gods children and the dark abyss OF
eternal despair.
1t is one of the finest poems in the
language, simple in its expression
and sublime in it's thought. Young
in its strength, Manhood in its prime,
Whitened Age, Ambition, Power,
Success, Failure, Agony and Sin,
should hold ever in the heart this gem
of prayers
Il pray the Lord my soul to keep"

Cuba's Progressiveness.

Cuba's determination to spend ST.
600, 900 for the purpose of inducing de.
sirable immigrants to settle in the
island shows the Cuban government
to be progressive and awake to the
need of the country. 1t is a signiti-
cant fact that especial efforts are to
be made to secure immigration from
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and other
northern countries, while practically
no attention will be paid to Spain.

William travels by rail In Germany
he insists that his train shall go to its
destination without stopping. The
time of departure is fixed in such a
way that his nights rest Is not inter
fered with, the start being made either
in the morning or shortly before his
usual bedtime.
His special train is fitted up so COM
fortably. according to his own tastes.
that he feels quite at home in it. On
entering it. should it be early in the
day. ne goes to his study and sits at
his writing table. where the rays of
an electric lamp fall on a beautifully
framed photograph of the Empress and
their children.
He first hears reports from the
various ministers, then signs docu-
ments, looks through the newspapers
and devotes a period to reading.
Then he summons a secretary and
dispatches letters in several languages
to other monarchs or personal friends.
He often consumes several hours.
Though the sentences are spoken rap
idly, corrections are never necessary.
The Emperor has the gift of concen-
in hand and he expresses himself as
precisely in the foreign languages as
in his mother tongue.
The meals are taken at the usual
times and the dinner may not last
more than an hour.
After dinner the Emperor assemblies
his suite for an unconstrained chat,
accompanied by beer and cigars.
The bedroom is very simple. His
Majesty always sleeps well in the
train, rises early. takes a bath in the
bathroom adjoining his bedroom, and
then puts on the clothes he will wear
on leaving the cars, either gala uni
form if there is to be a great recep-
tion. or simple fcrester's costume II
he is visiting a friend for the shooting
If the train arrives at its destina-
tfon very early in the morning it is
run on a siding until his Majesty
awdkes and finishes his toilet.
This method of travelling explains
why the Kaiser always looks so fresh
and bright when he appears before the
