In the long, seepless watches of the night,
gentle face-the face of one long dead
Looks at me from the wall, where round its head
The night-lamp casts halo of pale light,
Here in this room she died; and soul more white
Never through martyrdom of fire was led
To its repose nor can in books be read
The legend of &life more benedight,
There is mountain in the distant West
That sun-defying in its deep ravines
Displays cross of snow upon Its side.
Such is the cross | wear upon my breast
These eighteen years through all the changinlt
scenes
And seasons, changeIess since the day she died

the cross had influential friends their bodies were
permitted to be inferred in the public sepulchre till
the flesh had disappeared, when the bones might
then be placed in the family tombs. 1t was to an

Our Lord in his own tomb, wherein was never man

defeated him. Nevertheless he could
not make up his mind to go back and
resume the life of torture her jealousy
had begotten.
Then the unexpected happened. A
letter was received containing the COM
mand to come home and care for his
wife and baby. At once David Gable
called a halt in his demoralizing ca
reer and saw the situation plainly. He
forgot that she had ''nagged" him to
the point where endurance rebelled: he
forgot everything but the fact that he
cared for her In spite of all. Sobered
and conscience stricken. he knew only
that she was alone and toiling; that she
had suffered uncomplainingly until the
babe was some months old before ap-
pealing to him for help. In abject hui
initiation he fastened back to New
York, reproducing himself every mile
of the way. Had he but known the
true situation he would have been
spared the pangs OF remorse and this
narrative never would have been writ

At this time Bansemer lived In COM

It dwelt the little lad with the fair

Droom's suppressed but always rau-

Bansemer opened the door. Looking
into the outer Office. he saw broom

Taft will conduct a porch campaign.
He will not travel abroad, but delega-
tions that visit him at his home In
Cincinnati will hear him speak, and
the press will give hts remarks to the
public. President Harrison intro
duced that form of campaigning, and
he made it very effective. He made a
new speech every day. They were
short and pointed, and everybody read
them, as they would not have done
had they been long and diffusive. Mr..
Taft has prepared lengthy address
Of acceptance, which he has read to a
few of his friends, including the pres
ident, and this will be read, for every
body wants to know his position on
the issues of the campaign. After
that is off his hands he will follow the
example of Harrison, and give the
people his views in brief and telling
phrases.

GRAND ADVENTURE OF
THE FIRST NAVIGATOR.

Paris, July 27-Coincident with the
dawning triumph of aerial navigation
comes the unearthing of the record OF
navigator and explorer.
His name was Peteneith, and he
lived in Egypt 1000 years before Co
lumbus discovered America. His
great exploit was the circumnaviga
ton of Africa, voyage more than
three times as long as that of Colum-
bus. 1t occupied him nearly five years
The story is told on two large
scarabs which recently came into the
poss ession Of the Brussels Museum
from a private collection. The first
scarab was engraved for King
Nechao ii, 610 B. c., 10 commemorate
the voyage. 1t sets forth that the
King sent a messenger ito complete
the circuit of the unknown land, that
the messenger returned by water to
Barbastis, where the scarab was dis
covered, and that the King had a de-
tailed report of the wonders seen dur
ing the voyage taken down from the
ENJOYS lips"
The second scarab contains Pete
neith's own report of his explorations
Prof. Capart, of Brussels. supplied a
translation to the French Academy
yesterday. After a long enumeration
of his various distinctions, the royal
envoy described the stages of his
journey. He started in the year of
of King Nechao from the Red Sea and
navigated toward the Land of Punt
which is frequently mentioned in the
text, arriving at the ocean in less than
two months after leaving Egypt.
A year and seven months naviga
ton toward the south brought him tc
a mountain, which he calls the Horn
of the Earth" In which he fanciet
that he identified a mountain which
the Egyptians ever since the eight
eenth dynasty has regarded as the
most remote southern frontier.
Prof. Capart observed to the acade
my that this Horn of the Earth was
not likely to have been the Cape OF
Good Hope, but some point much high
er up the east coast.

ALL ARE FOR TAFT
No indianapolis Men Are So
Foolish as to Bet on
Bryan.
BIG ODDS BEING OFFERED.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 27.-Ten to
eight on Taft and three to two on
Watson for Governor is the way the
betting is opening in Indiana. A few
days ago a few even-money PROPOSE
tons were offered on Taft at Harry
Walkers place, but there were no
takers. The even money was that he
will be elected; that he carries Ind
lana and Marion County, in which In
dianapolis is located.
On the Denison bar boards, located
in T. Taggart and Crawford Fair
banks hotel, odds Of 10 to s are Of
fered that Taft will carry the state.
Thus far no one has accepted any
wagers at those figures.
1t is considered likely by those who
follow the betting trend that very lit
tie money will be placed on Bryan and
Kern in Indiana unless more attract
i've odds are offered. 1t will not be
surprising If or to l is demanded
by those who will back the Democrat
ic national ticket TO win in Hoosier-
DOM
There was practically no betting on
the national ticket in Indiana four
years ago, except on majorities, as it
was a foregone conclusion from the
outset that Roosevelt would sweep the
state. However, the dopesters were
way off, as they demanded even mon,
ey on the proposition that ROOSEVELT
plurality would not be less than
$4,000.
One bet has been posted that Taft
will carry Indiana by $1,000, which
fails to represent the opinion that
seems to prevail among the men who
make election betting a business
Most of them feel, apparently, that
Taft will win in Indiana by plurali
ty ranging from 10000 to $4,000. OF
that he will not get through at all.

WANTED: A NEW ORDINANCE.

II no other end has been accom-
plished by all this "ice trust" talk, we
are pretty sure that most of the people
OF Richmond are convinced that the
legislation passed in the dim ages of
1887 concerning weights and measures
is out Of date. Whether Inspector
Waterman has lived up to the duties
of his office or not, the fact remains
that the ordinance requiring that the
scales shall only be inspected once
a year is so deficient, that 1t is al.
most laughable.
To say to the public that the scales
be inspected once every 365 days
only. is to offer insult to the intelli-
gence of anyone but an infant in arms.
This might not be so bad however
as the custom Which seems to have
been handed down, that there shall be
one round up and branding in Septem-
Der. Suppose the United States rev.

interests that they were coming

eddy. what good would it do? Sup.
pose the police force only inspected

TENDER to see that they had sold no
liquor after closing hours?
No. the value of all inspection must
be the absence of routine and notifi-
cation. This does not necessarily
mean that our merchants are untrust-
worthy. we do not think that many
of them would knowingly cheat and
oyercharge their customers. The OBJ
ject OF weight inspection is two fold:
1t must protect the customers from
loss; II should give the merchants a

The proposed hunting trip to Africa
by President Roosevelt Is expected to
add great deal to the worlds
knowledge of the dark country. We
have already begun to learn new
things about Africa. A rubber plant
er who will be the host of the ex-presi-
dent at his home near Naisobi, 300
miles inland from the coast, writes to
his friends in st. Louis, giving a list
of animals that hunters can shoot at
The list contains the names of wild
beasts that few Americans have ever
heard of. Most people know some
thing about elephants, zebras, lions
and tigers. but when it comes to Ca
Lofts, hippotragus, strepisceros, topi,
bongo, Colobi. aardevaaks and mara
mouts, where are we? The African
planter says that most of the animals
that he can see every evening from his
patch are scrappers, and he believes,
as all who know Roosevelt must be-
lieve, that this fact will greatly add to
his pleasure. After he has scrapped
with them, and written home all
about it, and the reports of his en-
counters are duly recorded at 81 a
word in an American magazine, his
readers will know just what kind of
beasts those animals with the queer
names are

HOW LONG?

How long must the shippers OF Rich
mond lose money? How long will the
board of public works shut off COM
petition in the matter Of freight rates?
How long will the people stand it?
AS we said in this paper on Saturday
evening, there will be action in the
shape of Club" if the board doesn't
wake up. If council gives the privi-
lege of Main street to the D. & w.
we will have freight hauled, but with
the disadvantage of congesting traf-
fic and our own business center. II
the present franchise goes through
we will have freight hauled with out
any congestion. This thing of haggl-
ing over tickets and transfers seems
to us foolish and disastrous. The
gain in competition so far overbal-
ances the question Of tickets that we
are sure it will not block the franchise
longer.
If the board of public works is hon
estly in favor of helping conditions
in regard to shippers and consumers,
they ought to consider the matter as
brought to very successful compro-
mise in favor Of the city. If there is
any suggestion of pique in not having
done it all, or of jealousy of council
they should lay aside such petty trif-
les and work smoothly. "a house d.
vided against Itself"
The shippers of Richmond demand
some immediate action and the barb
ed wire taken down The barbed wire

the throat and then pulled hard. Let
