A Hymn of the Homeland.
The Homeland! The Homeland! The
land of the freeborn;
There is no night in the Homeland, but
aye the fadeless morn.
I'm singing for the Homeland, my heart
Is aching here;
There's no pain In the Homeland to
which I'm drawing near.
My Lord is in the Homeland, with angels
bright and fair;
There's no sin in the Homeland, and no
temptation there.
The music Of the Homeland Is ringing in
my ears,
And when l think of the Homeland my
eyes gush out with tears;
For those l love in the Homeland are
calling me away,
To the rest and peace of the Homeland.
and the life beyond decay,
For theres no death in the Homeland,
there's no sorrow above;
Christ brings us all to the Homeland of
His eternal love.

Better No Food than No Opera.

The creole would rather do without
few meals than miss a good opera
with fine cast, nor does this admira-

exquisite, in loge grille at the opera.
1t matters little In New Orleans to
what unfortunate straits adversely may
have driven lady, even though she
may do typewrlting for people whom
she meets socially, there are enough
noble minded people Of the ancient
regime who will help her to forget the
pinch of poverty and see that she re-
ceives the greatest consideration. This
inbred chivalry Is one Of the most
marked and endearlng traits of the
southern character, lending to the
South an atmosphere free from our par
asltical fiunkyism over mere money or
Its insignla.-C. II. White In Harper's

FELL FROM WINDOW.
Jake Johnson in Hospital With a
 Fractured Skull.

While leaning from a window of the block at Il Grand street last night about 12 o'clock, Jake John. son lost his balance and fell to the ground about 30 feet below. John son was stopping at the Wayside Inn and was apparently about to retire. It is thought that he was taken sick and while hanging over the window lost his bearings and took the drop. Although the mass of wires broke his fall somewhat nevertheless John- son landed with so much force that his skull was fractured. He was removed to the Waterbury hospital and his condition to-day was said to be a tritle better although it is still serious.
 According to Pop" Erwin, pro- prietor of the inn, Johnson worked last at the Chase Rolling mill. The past few weeks he has been loafine. Although the fall was enough to al most kill person, it did not for the time being make Johnson even un- conscious.

Second Ward Democrats to Meet

All democrats in the second ward who are interested in the success of the party in the coming election will be called upon to attend a meeting in few days. It is quite probable that the place of meeting may be the quarters of the Democratic club on East Main street, opposite Phoenix avenue, or the city court room in the City hall. The ward committee Hubert M. Rigney. Timothy J. Bren- nan and Attorney Henry w. Minor, are considering the advisability of calling meeting of the democrats of that district. It is doubtful if more than one ticket will be in that ward on primary day, unless there Happens to be rush for places on the various conventions.

They saw the lawyer seat himself up
on the chair at a gesture from the
prisoner, who restrained him with an
other as he edged it nearer and nearer
the bed. They heard the lawyers whis-
per, low and rapid, and saw his dirty,
g%esticulating fingers, but not his face,
only that Of the prisoner, calm and
cold. Suddenly 1t flared up, and next
instant the visitor was hurled through
the open door, and Thomas Erickson
stood with the empty chair poised a
moment before dashing it after him
with a yell Of rage.

but meager entertainment that I can
offer you. Well, we'll, if you insist!
But that's the door. Pray walk in.

And ere the chirruping laugh had
ended Toms flight was over and he
was in the hands of two policemen,
who had securely pinned him by either
arm. Resistance was useless. But
