THE LONG WHITE WAY

Ho, straight ahead DER the level plain,
In a ribbon of light 1t lies;
And II may be wet with the driving rain,
Or dry to the drifting skies;
But II lures me on to the lands afar,
Through the arch of the azure day,
To the purple t%wilight's swinging star.
AS l ride on the long white way.
And I'm out on the long white way once
more,
The path to the skies OF blue,
OF my broken prison, the open door,
To things that are strange and new.
l can see the light on its level track.
In the sun of a vanished day;
And the singing cities call me back,
From the end of the long white way.
Ho, straight ahead from the harbor's
mouth,
In a furry Of foam. II lies:
A ships white wake to the burning south.
With its blazing sapphire skies.
She has dipped her flag TO the fortress
grim,
The guard of the outer bay;
She has dropped the hand meath the
oceans rim;
And she's off on the long white way.
And she's out on the long white way once
In the salt of the ocean breeze.
The long white ride to n distant shore,
on the backs of the long white seas;
Where the wind-whipped pillows smok-
ing crests

TAINTED MONEY" FOR CHARITY

An interesting story is that of what
is known as the Prescott Fund" OF
Prince Williams parish, now parts OF
Hampton and Beaufort counties, South
Carolina. 1t seems that in the early
part of the last century an old woman
who lived alone in an isolated portion
of what was then Beaufort District
was on her deathbed, and sent for a
lawyer to draw Ter will to dispose OF
the little hut and the few acres Of land
she had.
After she had designated to whom
these were to go the lawyer told her
that to avoid any legal trouble over
her will she should insert a clause dis
posing of whatever else she might
have overlooked. She therefore desig-
mated that if there should be found
anything else belonging to her undis-
posed Of that it should he taken in
charge of by a certain prominent citi-
zen of G|illisonville as trustee for the
use of the white poor of Prince Will
liam's parish. Then she died.
When the old woman's household eff

much, and for which he was duly
thankful.
But it couldn't continue forever, as
much as he may have wished it
might. One morning as he came up
from the basement entrance he was
met by a friend of the family who
was making an early call on business.
This man, who was as hard-hearted
as the lady was not, recognized the
tramp and made some inquiries about
him of the lady. She told his hard luck
story, and the hard-hearted man in
formed her that the tramp had been
riding up to her house every morning
in the street car to get his breakfast.
That ended his snap. and where he

Daniel Webster had a habit, while
speaking in court, of putting on Did

ed over the ears. After reading any
passage desired, he used to raise the
spectacles from his nose and push
them up over his forehead until they
rested on his head.
One day a waggish member sitting
in the next seat to Mr.. Webster placed
his own spectacles in front of Web

he picked up the new s]pectacles at

as she had directed, a quantity of gold
and silver coins, said to amount to
about $4,000, were found under her

that this money had been given to the

About the early part Of the last cen

from the hanging of some of these men
by a mob, headed by a man named
Lynch, in Virginia, that the term

rived. Mrs. Prescott lived in a very
isolated part Of the district, and 1t has

tell of It's possession even on her death.

Seeking A Seaboard
Outlet.
Wabash Railroad Makes Connection
With Tidewater and Deepwater
Railroads.

Norfolk, Va, May 26.-From reli-
able authority it is learned here that
the Wabash railroad is so closely
identified with the tide-water deep
wlter railroads, now being con-
structed from Norfolk to Charleston,
W. Va, that it will be used as an At
lantic seaboard outlet by the Gould
lines.
The tide-water deep-water lines
penetrate the coal fields OF West
Virginia. At Charleston, which will
be the Western terminus, connection
is made with the West Virginia Cen
trail a Wabash property over q friend
ly Davis-Elkin line The West Vir-
ginia Central taps Cumberland, and
from that city the Western Mary
land, another Wabash property, is
building a Pittsburg connection thus
completing the link.
That Wabash interests are identified
with the tide-water deep-water lines
was developed in a discussion OF
terminals for the latter system i'll
Norfolk.
The construction of the tide-water
deep-water lines is the most remark
able railway building i'll American
history. With absolutely no regard
for towns, mountains and valleys,
the tide-watcr seeks from Norfolk on
almost a bee line, the great and un-
developed coal fields Of West Vir-
Ginia.

4 New Wireless Record.

Chicago News
Even though the wireless telegraph
has not been perfected SO far as to
be of commercial tility as n regular
channel of communication, evidences
that it is already of immense practi-
cal Importance are increasing. The
remarkable achievement of theFrencll
liner La Provence, last week, in car,
rying on communication with both
shores while in mid-Atlantic, makes
q new record in wireless telegraph
annals and demonstrates afresh the
Importance OF this invention to the
world.
Heretofore it has been found i'm
possible for any ship equipped with
wireless apparatus to keep contin-
uously in touch with land while cross
ing the Atlantic or to hold commune
cation with both shores simultan-
eously. The operators after getting
a certain distance away from one
shore have been out of reach of land
until they ''picked up Il station on
the opposite shore. La Provence,
while practically midway between the
Cornish staff N at Poldhu and the
one sat Cape Cod, received messages
from both points. 1t had picked
up" America before it dropped" the
Old World, there being no moment
in the time OF its whole journey when
it was not in touch with the land
There is no good reason to doubt
that with the further Improvement
of wireless telegraphy and the estab
fishing OF more stations the ships on
the great seas will be able to hold
communication with land uninterrupt
eddy. In time it will be possible tC
send aerial messages from continent
to continent over distances of thous
ands of miles. But the possibilities
to which the achievement of La Pro
yence points are i'll themselves o
vast Importance in the immediate
present.
