WORLDS DELIGNT'

saw the woman called Worlds Delight.
If you looked in her eyes no soul was
there,
But her eyes we're deep and her eyes we're
fair.
If you touched her bosom no heart there
beat,
But oh. the rose in her breast was sweet!
Her naked feet were too soft to 60
After a wanderer, to and fro;
Her little hands were too weak TO hold
Wild love back from the outer cold;
But oh! her fingers, and OH her feet,
Naked and beautiful-sweet, sweet!
AT the edge of the Fit, though he feared
to slip,
A man might linger to kiss her lip.
In the eyes of Death might weak man

THE CoUNTERsIGN OF PEACE,


Allied with its prototype, the
British fighting army, little con-
tingent of twelve Salvation Army
workers, under the guidance of Miss
Mary Murray, who was the staff cap
tain and who is the daughter of Cen
eral Sir John Murray, X. C. B., land
ed at Cape Town harbor TO work at
the front in the late Boer War.
No time OF year could have been
chosen which would have been more
disagreeable for the workers. 1t was
November. The rain and dew on
the veldt are appalling at that sea-
son, and the conditions in which tho
twelve worked are disclosed in an
incident, found in The Prophet of
the Poor, which is best repeated in
Miss Murray's own words.
1T was raining in torrents that
night and pitch-dark. The steady
downpour increased the doubts in
our minds as to whether we should
take some food to the weary pickets
or not. But having prepared some
cocoa in monster jug, Ensign Alice
Hurley and | lighted our lantern and
sailed forth for our walk across
country.
We had splashed over the veldt.
and were on the banks of horrid
swollen stream, when, with sickly
iutter, orr lantern went out. our
situation then was aything but pleas
ant. 1t had been bad before, It was
worse now. A picket somewhere in
the dark before us with a loaded
rife, swollen stream at our feet.
and huge jar of cocoa TO guard
that was the situation. Forgetting
all martial law, | shouted, Picket!

cocoa, she forced me through sheer
shame to follow her noble example
in crossing the stream. On the other
side / nearly lost my footing, when
there came a shout from the dark
ness:
Halt! Who goes there?'
Its all right, returned Ensign
Hurley gaily. Hot cocoa,

gand, and one day actually caught
sight of him, but by his superior agil-
ity he got some lead on them, and
then by setting fire to the dry under
brush he managed to cover all traces
of his flight. An extensive stretch of
woodland was burned over before the
fire could be checked.
New efforts were made and finally
parties of soldiers were sent up the
mountain from all sides so as to hem
him in. AS they approached within
600 feet of his hut he spied them and
opened fire.
The bullets went over their heads,
but as they drew nearer they saw
that his hut was pierced with loop
holes and gave every indication of
being prepared for a siege. The SOL
diers found cover behind rocks and
began shooting in return, hoping that
lucky shot would hit their man.
1t was late in the afternoon when
the siege began, and the soldiers re-
allied that if they remained until
dark they would have to stay all
night, and staying all night practi-
cally amounted to freezing to death.
Indeed, not being accustomed to the
exposure their aim soon became UNI
steady as they shivered I'm the keen
mountain blasts. They were at their
wits ends when suddenly, after a
specially heavy volley, the brigand s
fire ceased.
me soldiers suspected n strategem
and waited AS nothing happened
they plucked up courage for dash
to storm the house. They came on
unhindersd.
They smashed in the door and
rushed into the single room. The
terrible robber lay on the floor un-
conscious. A bullet had struck him
on the head and knocked him insen-
sible, but glancing off the bone had
inflicted nothing worse than a scalp
wound. When he came to Crealini
found himself tied hand and foot and
altogether 1T the mercy of his cap-
tors.
On searching the nut the storming
party found a considerable sum of
money and Il great hoard of valu
ables, besides provisions. including
delicacies sufficient for many weeks
subsistence for the brigand. They
also found great bundle of love let

ty of the prettiest women and girls

1t will be remembered that in March
1907, the democrats III the senate kill
ed the ship subsidy bill, which had
passed the house by republican votes
Senator Carmack of Tennessee led in
the 1ilibuster which resulted in the
defeat of this Ubiquitous measure. Now
the republican senate has passed a
ship subsidy bill and the measure goes
to the house. 1t seems that the repub-
llcsn party has ample slime to pass
measures demanded by the financiers,
such as the IAldrich bill, and meas
ures demanded by the subsidy grab
bers. sdch as the shipping bill. But
when the people demand tariff'revision
and other important reforms they are
expected to be satisfied with the as
surance that if they will again trust
the Republican party with power they
may have such tariff revision as the
s'friends of the tariff think the pee-
pie are entitled to-after the presiden-
tial ection.-Commoner.

There is so much talk about availa-
BILE timber for the democratic nomins-
sion for governor that one becomes be-
wildered. A whole lot politicians
have their lightning rods up
ready to catch every thing. ahd the
guberratorial nomination in particu-
lar. 1t seems to us,as quiet observer,
that the man for that position above
all at present available is Hen. Samuel
V. Woods of the county of Barbour.
Mr.. Woods, according to our ideas,
would make an ideal governor. He Is
good clean, honorable man, free from
all entanglirg alliances with any fac
tions, and especially with any cliques OF
faction which are trading ana pickering
with the republican state machine.
Sam Woods knows no boss. He does
not need boss and would.very quickly
resent the presumption of any fellow
who might volunteer such service, He
is an able stump speaker and
would make lively campaign. The
second district will stand by Mr.
Woods in the convention and at the
election would roll up a tremendous
vote for him.

Until the past week it looked as if

triumphant march TO the White House
but the actions of the Peoples party in
nominating the brilliant Tom Watson

will greatly injure Mr.. Bryan especial

passed over him. His head struck the
pavement with such force that when
examined by the doctors it found that
he had conclusion of the brain ana
that his skull was probably fractured,
He fingered on until Saturday after
noon when he died. His, age was ~
years..
