A WARTIME LYRIC.

(These beautiful and pathetic lines were
furnished by Miss Belle Boddie.)
When ! Was Little Boy.
[ have found the wisdom born Of pain,
The sorrow that comes with years,
And paid the price that Adam paid
For knowledge and for tears.
But / we lost my faith in friendships vow
And love is broken toy,
[ used to trust in mother and God,
When was little boy.
sadder than death is the bitter change
In the trusting heart Of youth
Better believe in wholesome lie
Than to forever doubt the truth.
What care I now for authors fame,
Or the ten years siege of Troy?
The heroes are myths that I used to love
When was little boy.

Civil War by brave and talented young Con-
federate who was being harbored for few

Block l, Room IL.
Johnson's Island, Ohio, April 25, 1854
Dear Uncle Bob:
I fear your head
Has gone thinking I was dead,
That ice and snow and doctors arts
Has stopp'd the breath of casa Hartz'
[ write this in poetic lines
To let you know live, by jingo.
And ask if you can bring about
Some certain means to get me out?
Haven't you got Fed raj ''Maie'
Now resting in some Dixie cage
Who longs to see his loving marin
Or visit once again his farm
Or gaze upon his "garden sass"
Or see once more his bright-eyed lass
Haven't you one Of these, I say,
Whom you would like to swap away
For me, a man Of vim-of "parts
Swap him, in short, for casa Hartz"?
I've been here now almost year
And sigh for liberty, so dear,
I've tried by every means [ know
10 bid this isle fond adieu;
Dug holes, scaled walls, passed thru the gate
With Yankee cap upon my pate,
And when / went out in the ice,
And thought d got away so nice,
[ met blue-coat in my route,
Who quickly made me face about;
March d me, with diabolie grin,
Back to the gate, and turned me in.
I've swallowed every rumor strange
That had word about exchange,
Grew fat with joy, lean with sorrow,
Was cup" today and "down" tomorrow;
Implored, with earnestness Of soul,
To be released upon parole;
Wrote Ben F. B. spicy letter,
And told him he could not do better
Than let me out for thirty days.
I read his answer in amaze;
He said that "things" were mixed up, now
In such way he knew not how,
The favor that I asked about
Could we'll be granted. Had no dounbt
That "things" would soon be so arranged
That all of us would be exchanged
That ended it. I wrote to Prentice,
Who several times had kindly lent his
Purse and name to those whom chance,
And "pomp and glorious circumstance"

Ex-Gov. Aycock Says That MIR.
Bryan VIII be Elected.

Raleigh Evening Times, Dispatch. 23d.
Former Gov. Charles B. Az
cock is enthusiastic over Bryan's
chances of victory in the fall
election. He says that Bryan's
chances are far better this year
than they have been in the past.
He says this is a democratic year
and he thinks the vote will show
that reaction from republican
government has set in during the
year.
The ex-governor also thinks
the state democratic ticket will
be elected by large majority,
and that the democratic party
never worked in greater harmony
than it bids fair to work in the
coming election.
Mr.. Aycock repeatedly stated
that this is democratic year; one
of those years when continued
misrule by the republican throws
the national democratic candidate
into the presidency as if by mag
ic. Mr., Aycock is versed in the
science of politics and his
opinions count for considerably
more than the average mans
opinion.

Judge Lands $29, 24O, OOOJudg-
ment Reversed.

Baltimore Sun.
When United District Judge
Lands imposed fines aggregating
$29, 100000 on the Standard Oil
Company ofIndiana it looked as if
predatory wealth" had re-
ceived the finishing blow. Yet
there were not lacking skeptics,
either among laymen and law
yers, to suggest that the day on
which the corporation thus mulct-
ed IN unprecedented, damages paid
the penalty was so remote that
nobody in this generation would
live to see it. The opinion of the
skeptics is sustained to a certain
degree by the unanimous de-
cision yesterday of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals
at Chicago. This tribunal re-
versed the judgment of the
District Court remandedthe case,
with instructions for new trial
IN accordance with the opinion of
the Circuit Court of Appeals.
The opinion of the Appellate
Court was delivered by Judge
Peter S. Grosscup. The grounds
upon which Judge Lands de-
clslon is reversed by the Court
of Appeals are stated briefly and
clearly by Judge Grosscup.
The Standard Oil Company of
Indiana was charged with OBJ
tanning unlawful concessions
from certain railroads. 1t ap-
peared that the company paid 6
cents per 100 pounds for trans
porting its products, when, ac-
cording to the Government S
contention, 18 cents was the
lawful public rate. In the opin-
ion delivered by Judge Grosscur
the question whether 6 cents or
Is cents was the lawful rate is
discussed in detail. Judge Gross
cup declares that the "18-cent
rate, " which Judge Lands in
his charge to the jury pronounc-
ed the legal rate, was arrived
at by a process of circumlo-
cution," by System of refer
ences and cross-reference."
The most we can say"
he concludes, is that the ques
ton is one on which judges
after full discussion, NIGH
reasonably disagree" The Dis
trict Court, it is held, was il
error in excluding certain evi
dence on the rate matter Offered
by the Standard Oil Company
and also in taking away from thu
company the right to submit
to the jury the whole question
of whether it had knowledge O
the tariff sheet from which i
is said to have accepted a con
cession and whether the rat
paid was not paid in the homes
belief that it was the Lawful
rate"
The Circuit Court of Appeal
holds that Judge Lands abuse
the discretion vested in tina
: court in imposing fines upon tn
I principle that each shipmer
l constituted a separate offense
, The plan adopted by the tri;
: court in measuring the offense
of the defendant company, say
, Judge Grosscup, was "whol
arbitrary and had no basis {
any intention or fixedrule di
coverable in the statutes. " Thel
is the plainest sort of an int
l. nation that Judge Landis' pu
n pose was to punish "a part
that is not before the court
a party that is not even indicte'

large crowd was in attendance,
composed of young and old, men,
women and children, and the
best of order prevailed. Indeed,
no people could have behaved
better than they did, for during
our entire stay on the grounds
we did not see or hear of one
act of rowdyism, saw no one
underline influenced intoxicants
nor was there anything called tt
our attention to offend the mos
