DO you know. my husband, dear.
Why these friends are gathered here?
Think with me awhile. pray,
Is not this thy natal day?
Ali the years have flown so fast.
Childhood and youth have quickly
passed,
And. shall / say It, middle age
To-day. we write upon ;he page.
Now were tho milestones but a few
Their number. 7 would tell to you
But since I could but wish them less
/ leave the truth for you to guess.
Adown the vista Of the past
Tonight, win take a backward glance;
And find happy boy at play,
Around his fathers old doorway.
Again the milestones we'll reoross,
And find for him the gain, and loss
cain number ono I clearly see.
The future God did hide from thee.
The next find o. bliss supreme.
TO realize thy youthfid dream.
A little wife to walk beside.
And children playing az her side.
That airy castle. grand and fair.
You did In youth for her prepare.
Has well nigh vanished from thy heart,
But still she lives thy life a part.
DO YOU count II loss. or gain.
That with YOU she stln remains;
To walk with thee iife's checxered way,
And cheer thee on thy natal day?
n 10 thee she Is n cross.
Then Wen write II down as loss;
Like the precious children fed.
And numbered now among the dead.
These thy Father hath replaced
AS tells each happy childish face.
That's gathered at this evenings
board.
And pleasure to your heart affords.
Five he called TO Heaven above.
And sent back four IN pitying love,
Then sent a grandson, fair and sweet,
To make the number just complete.
tti,ie ,lGIGSGW
o. wondrous love my Father kind,
These jewels all for him to find.
To comfort bless. and be his stay,
AS down he walks life's shaddy way.
Your eldest son has found a wife.
To walk with him throughout his life;
And with their little Raymond. dear
She'll help grandpapa's life to cheer.
Thy daughters frail. but brave and
true.
And dainties she'll prepare for you.
Should failing health or strength be
thine
She'll prove herself a daughter kind.
Those two dear boys so bright and gay,
That round thy hearthstone run and
play,
So lifes stern duties soon viii go.
And noble men will make, 1 know.
I've summed up all your crosses,
Your sorrows. trials anj losses,
And find n debt YOU owe to-day,
You never fully can repay.

STEAMER SAVED
 FROM THE FLAMES

Tampa, Fla, October M.-The Mallory line steamer Colorado, leaving the harbor of Tampa this morning, went aground off Gadsden Point, and while the tug Reso- lute was endeavoring to float her fire was discovered in the cotton cargo in the forward hold.
 The cotton was loaded in Mobile and the fire had been burning some time when discovered.
 The tugs Pickering, Clark and Mermaid went to the ships assistance, and with the tug Resolute were converted into fire boats and began flooding the hold Steam was also turned in and the ships pumps aided in the work of fighting the flames.
 Tonight the fire was under control, but it was impossible to estimate the amount of damage. At high tide the ship will be fioated and will come up to her dock, where part of her cargo will be dis charged.
 In the hold with the cotton were large shipments of Tampa cigars
 Only six passengers were on board, and these were sent to the city on. launch. It is stated that the ship is not damaged. The origin of the fire Is unaccounted for. A few weeks ago the steamer Rio Grande of the same line had similar fire in Mobile Bay and had to be sunk in order to extinguish the flames.

Soldiers to the Rescue.

Union City, Tenn, October 21.--Under command of Col. w. c. Tatum of Nash vile, IA men of the Third battalion First regiment, Tennessee National Guard, left here this morning in a march over land of 22 miles to Walnut Log, the scene of the night riders raid of Monday night
 It will be Thursday morning before the troops reach Walnut Log and the com panies will camp one night en route.
 The body of Quentin Rankin of Tren- ton, who was murdered by night riders Monday night, has arrived here from Walnut Log, the scene of the trouble. Ex- animation of the body showed Captain Rankin's left side near the hip had been riddled with small shot from shotgun. His arms were also wounded and the back of his head was blown of, the gun which inflicted this wound evidently be- ing within close range. His teeth were knocked in, apparently byp blow with club. No bones were broken in the body. There was a cut on the neck un- der the chin caused by the rope with which the night riders had hanged him.

 After the Murderers.

Union City, Tenn, October H-With the announcement of the safe arrival at Tip tonville today of Judge R. z. Taylor, the companion of Captain Rankin, who was put to death at Reelfoot lake by a, mob on Monday night, state and county of- ficials are making efforts toward the ap- prehension of those who composed the mob. Today Circuit Judge Jones, after conference with Governor Patterson and other officials, announced that the circuit court would convene here Monday next in special session. The grand jury which will conduct the Investigation will be se- lected by Judge Jones from a special venire of 25 men. The sessions of court will be under military protection, and it is probable that other troops, in addition to those from Nashville, which arrived early today, will be called into service. The Nashville troops immediately after their arrival proceeded to Reelfoot lake. To- night all is quiet in the vicinity of the lake, and while the tensity of the situ- ation has to some extent relaxed, appre- hension is felt as to what may occur when the grand jury investigation is begun.

DRAMATIC STORY OF THE
 RAID BY NIGHT RIDERS

Union City, Tenn, October 21.-T. P. Noah, one of the search CTS who re- turned to Union City last night told the following dramatic story of the night riders raid which he gathered at first hands at Walnut Log:
 At 12 o'clock Monday night band of about SO men knocked at the door of Ed Powell, a farmer living about 500 yards from the hotel of F. c. Ward. Powell awoke and the men called him out. He asked them what they wanted.
 "oh," they told him. there's fell low at the Ward hotel who has been hunting out of season around here We're going down to have some fun and you're going with us."
 MT. Powell looked at the formidable array of guns pointed at him and de- clared he did not mind seeing the fun himself.
 They forced him to go in the lead in order, presumably, that if they were fired upon he would be the first to catch the bullets. They went straight to the hotel and awake a man named 0urcnaf0.
 The night riders forced Burchard to get out of bed and asked what he meant by hunting around there. They then told him to go back to bed, and awoke MT. Ward
 They compelled Mir Ward to take them to the room occupied by Captain Rankin and Colonel Taylor They filed into the room of the attorneys and awoke them. Confronted by guns, Cap tain Rankin and Colonel Taylor obeyed instructions to get out of bed
 Now dress,' they told the attor- neys.
 At the command of the night riders the lawyers dressed immediately put ting collar and tie into place as if pre- pairing for reception. The night riders were very particular about this.

 Bare and Unsecured Note

porting the ice stock pools in which Morse and other financiers were interested. The failure to raise the price of ice above par was what caused the break in the endless chain"
 The lawyers for the defense objected re- peatedly to the line of questions asked the witness by the government lawyers. but Judge Hough sustained the proseeu- ton and the above description of the wit ness was put upon the records piece by piece until the chain was complete. Ex- amlner Moxey showed how he traced a loan of $125,000 to Miss Wilson and referred every now and again to bundle of papers on which he had made notes.
 For the first time since her husband has been on trial Mrs Clementine Dodge Morse appeared in the court room.
 Mrs. Curtis, wife of the former pres ident, who Is being jointly tried with MT. Morse, has been at her husbands side every day. Mrs. Morse attended the aft ernoon session, accompanied by her son, Harry, who is a student at Princeton. She was becomingly attired in a gown of blue. She took a seat beside her hus- band inside the railing and appeared deep- ly interested in the proceedings as did her son. Mrs. Morse and Mrs. Curtis exchanged friendly greetings.
