How Shall I Meet Thee

By Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruser Julien Gordon
How shall meet thee? fear thy coming.
have lived so long in deSolate pain,
Drunk the cup of thy love or thy scorning,
Lost the old faith to drain it again
How shall meet thee?
How shall greet thee? fear the message
Which bids me be ready to do thy will
have no lore of loves presage,
have no courage, nor hope, nor skill.
How shall greet thee?
How shall treat thee? fear the breaking
OF the hushed proud silence kept so long;
When the bar once breaks of longing and hating,
Shall know my harshness did thee wrong2
How shall treat thee?
How shall meet thee? fear thy coming:
have planned so often where we should be-
The gown should wear in which to greet thee,
And what should say; but now am dumb.

Virginia and West Virginia May
Reach Agreement

Chairman John B. Moon, OF the Vir-
GINA debt commission, together with
AttorneysGeneral Anderson, held
private conference In Richmond a few
days ago with Governor Swanson rela'
tive to the Virginia West Virginia con
troversy.
It is understood that many persons
in West Virginia are anxious to have
the debt matter closed up at once,
without further recourse to the courts.
1t is believed that some proposition In
an unofficial and informal way has
come to the Virginia state officials,
with a view to obtaining the sentiment
of the people of this State on the sub
iect and to obtain some indication of
what reception would be accorded Il
direct proposition to adjust the matter.
it is also probable that West Virginia
desires to know what this State will
now accept In settlement In full OF the
account.
The governor was asked for a direct
statement as to whether or not he had
received any overtures from the people
of West Virginia. He said;
There are many matters which
come to the attention of the governor
which cannot be divulged at once for
good reasons. l will not say whether
have OF have not received communities
ton OF the sort indicated. l have moth
ing to say except this: The State Of
Virginia and the members OF the debt
commission much prefer to see the
West Virginia debt dispute adjusted
outside of resort to the courts. "
The General Assembly of the State Of
West Virginia is to meet on January
81. One OF the subjects to be consider
ed at this sesslsn will be the debt issue.
The governor of the State. some OF the
leading papers and many OF the best
lawyers of West Virginia are open ad
vocates of abandoning the litigation
This would tie the means OF maintain
ing the present relations between the
two States, would be far more economi
cal and would serve TO maintain the
credit of the State of West Virginia.
Virginia, it is said, will welcome al
EQUITABLE adjustment, in spite OF thu
fact that she has beaten West Virginia
out in the courts, winning PRACTICAL!
every contested point iu the litigation
and that West Virginia has fought
settlement at every turn.

Favor Funerals at Night

Because of the tendency to-
wards show and extravagancy on
the part of the negroes in the mat
ter of funerals, TIE colored minis
tiers of Richmond have taken up
and are favorably discussing a
plan to have all funerals at night
when the show and pomp and out
lay will be bid from view, thus
putting IN end to the foollsh habit
of holding expensive funerals.
1t is believed that If the osten-
tation made by the negroes cannot
be feen by the other admiriDg
colored element it will have the
effect of ending the extravagant
display.
The better class of colored peo-
ME are in favor of the scheme. In
stanses ere on record where the
entire death benefits from secret
