My heart nor head. .
No genial mood
My soul shall warm:
Nor shall l finch

While others felt
From day to day
The fervor of
Emotions sway,
He marched along
And never had

A generous tear:

Are pulse and breath.
He kept so cool
He froze to death!

THE SACRIFICE.

Ted has left the jungle,

Teddy doesn't grumble now,
Gone is every care
There was bear meeting
In the caDey brake
What bear would give up his life
For the others sake:
One was found-a very
Winklereid of bears
Bidding good bye TO his kin,
Tearfully he fares
Where the hundred dogs are spread.
Where the reporters are
By the thousands, where the guides
Deploy near and far.
Takes his stand resignedly.
Feels the speeding dart
From the mighty Teddy's gun
, Pierce his ursiue heart,
Died he for his fellows:
Cashed his last chip in
Just 70 rid the canehrake
OF the fuss and din.
Gone reporters. guides and Ted,
Gone the dogs. and still
Are the days and still the nights,
But for whippoorwill

For the heroes bold:
But the bcar-his hero heart
Lies obscure and cold.

FASHIONS DECREE.

Has lynching become unfashion-
able; or has crime decreased? Stats
tics, complied by those who have a
mania for that sort of thing, record
that only AZ gangs went out at night
and committed murder in retaliation
for crimes during 1907. This CON-
pares favorably with the record of
~ for the preceding year. The
statistics reflect credit on county and
state authorities; for during the year
they manifested a determination TO
meet attempted mob violence with
force and the mob spirit was quelled,
except under the most severe provo
cation. The crimes for which lynch.
ings were held this year were in
variably assault, attempted assault
or murder. The preceding year
lynchings were INDUCED in for trivial
provocation. One does not count Il
always a low state of morals, when
simple natures obey a primitive in
stinct to wreak instant vengeance,
when the victim deserves the punish,

observe, had not a single lynching
bee.
