TIE Lion And The Lady.

A beautiful lion went out TO play
Where the woodlands rang with the
breath OF day:
Along came lady. whose cheeks were
as bright
As roses OF love in the sweet summer
light:
And what did the lion do. and what
did ha think, E.
With his instinct so cunning for meat
and for link?
The lady she h!uHh7d and then she
plead
And she thought every moment To sec
herself dead:
She curtsicd and oggl"d and cast iltti'
eyes
At the king Of the beasts. who looked
on with surprise
She ticklcd his fancy, and thus wei"
lneun.
She thought sh" would wal; Tor nor
chance and then run!
All lions are so human and ladies Sc
fair.
They leave the whole world In IN"
depths of despair;
Did IN. lion eat tn" lady. IN" lady th'
lion
Win over at last with her winkin' ana
irwin?
Or there IN the path are they staining
and waiting.
The lady still trusting. the beast still
debating?
We know what we'd do II we were
Il woman.
For ladies' are like all the rest OF us.
human
But nothing my vision discloses has
shown
II the lion is still there or the lazy
hath flown:
It's n matter for guessing. ana Ill!
guess il this
He'll yield in the end, and she'll win
with kiss!

IRON ARiasolD 70 FORAKER
lnde pendence Lacquer Charges Stand,
ard Oil Welcomed by Democratic
ORGANIZATION After Roosevelt Had
Driven the Trust Out Of Republican
Party.
(By Associated Press).

COLUMBUS. O.. Sept. l1.-Thomas
IL. Hiss III candidate of the lndepeh
ience party for president, and W"
liam II. Hearst addressed a meeting
at Memorial Hall tonight, under the
auspices Of the local organization OF
the party.
Mr.. Hearst read letters watch he
said had been written by John ID
Arcnlo,d, OF the Standard Oh Com
pany, TO Senator }. b. Foraker, o.
Ohio, referring to legislation p"ndlnt
in Congress. and mentioning two IN
closures of Oh .cks. one for $4,000 ahC
another for $4,000.
Mr.. Hearst said: I'VE claim thai
the Republican party has been fol
q long time the beneficiary OF trust
corporations and that the Democratic
party has only waited an opportunity
to share its sisters profitable ln1amy
I'VE claim that the Democrats ar
today eagerly competing with the ne
publicans for trust favor
I'VE claim that when Theodore
Roosevelt whipped the Standard on
ont of the Republican party the Demo
cratic party welcomed that convicted
criminal with open arms.
I'VE claim that the Democratic
party killed for Rockefeller the fat
ted calf and that there is more re-
ioicing over this one sinner who ha-
Joined the Democratic cause than
there is over the hundreds OF 'hous
ands of honest, faithful citizens Who
constitute the Democratic masses.
Il am not here with empty asse7'
tons but with legal evidence and docn
mentary proof.
Il am now going to read copies OF
letters written by Mr.. John d. Arch
bold chief agent of the Standard Oh
an intimate personal representative
CT MIR. Rockefeller and Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Hearst then read four alleged
letters frcn MIR. Archbold addresac..
to senator Foraker, dated March y
March 2. February l6 and April L.
1890 respectively. The first refers
to two bills, one mentioned as House
Bill No. 500. in relation TO foreign
corporations against which he des!r'
ed demonstration made.
Following it II days later the sec
end letter refers to an enclosed Ger
tificate of deposit to the senator's ia
vor for $4,000. The third refers tc
another very Objectionable bill
which he hoped there would be no
dificulty in killing"
The fourth is as follows:
20 Broadway. New York. April H.
1900.
My Dear Senator:
Il enclose you certificate of deposit
to your favor of $14.500. We arc
greatly at a loss in the matter but
send this and will be glad to have
a very frank talk with you when op
portunity offers if you so desire.
Il need scarcely again express cu'
great qualification over the favorable
outcome of affairs.
Very truly yours.

at him. Instinctively perceiving, with
diabolic instinct, what would be his

struck beseeching attitude and called

A Change Coming
Over the People.

The Arcadia Champion, one OF the
papers published in Gilchrist's home
county, has had its eyes opened since
the first primary and it now contains
the following very pertinent comment
on the campaign of the gentleman
from DeSoto:"
The Gilchrist organs are rejoicing
over the handsome majority given to
the gentleman from DeSoto" in the
recent primary. Some OF those VINO
voted for the general in the last pri-
mary in this county will stop AMI
consider before casting their votes IN
the next primary after seeing that
his large ma5oritieS were mostly
made in wet counties and after hear
ing of the organized effort the whis-
key men will make for his election in
the next.
The Champion then explains its own
position in the campaign as follows:
We don't want our friends and
reighbors to think that our opposition
t., General Gilchrist is personal
matter. The Champion force would
be as proud to see old DeSOto furnish
a governor as any citizen in the coun-
ty if we thought he would properly
represent this as we'll as the other
counties OF the state and We would
net object to the general If We thought
him the man necessary for this re-
sponsible position, but we would CON
Siier it a disgrace to this as a pro-
Inhibition county to furnish the next
governor and he man who if not
openly working with the whiskey
forces is not opposed to them and in
whose support they are very active.
Evidently great change is coming
over the people even in General Gil
ohrist's own county and what is oc-
curing in other counties OF this state
can only be conjectured. II would not
DO surprising If Gilchrist's vote in\the
second primary was smaller than in
the first. The people are waking up

A Local Enterprise That
Should Be ENCOURAGED.

In a recent issue of The Journal
the attractive program of the boat
club of the Y. NJ. c. A. of this CITY.
looking to big picnic and regatta at
Bayou Chico on July 1 was fully given
and there is every reason TO suppose
that the occasion will be a success.
No city in America has better natural
advantages to encourage boating. one
OF the finest of sports, than Pensa-
cola, and our local boat club should
be sustained in every possible way by
our citizens. even as a matter of bust
ness and advertising for our city.
If the proper encouragement is
given We can in time have annual re-
sattas here that will draw great
crowds and attract attention all over
the country. We are by no means
getting the full benefit of our glo-
rious bay and adjacent waters, as MIR.

Gently remarked, and a good way to
start in would be to encourage boat

great stroke for Pensacola TO have
the annual st. Johns regatta held

New Orleans TO participate, and this
can be done by proper effort.
