Down In a Coal Mine.
I am a joyial collier lad, and blithe as
blithe can be,
For let the times be good or bad, they're
all the same to me.
"ris little of the world l know, and care
less for its ways,
For where the dog star never glows, 4
wear away my days,
Chorus
Down In coal mine, underneath the
ground,
Where a CLEAN of sunshine never can be
found
Digging dusky diamonds all the season
round,
Down in a coal mine, underneath the
ground.
My hands are horny, hard and black, with
working in the vein,
And, like the clothes upon my back, my
speech is rough and plain;
Well, II I stumble with my ftongue, I've
one excuse to say,
lis not the Golfers heart thats wrong,
tbs the head that goestastray.
At every shift, bet soon or late, | haste
my bread to earn, v
And anxiously my kindred wait1and watch
for my return
For Death that levels all alike, whate'er
their rank may be,
Amid the fire and damp, may strike, and
fling his darts at me.
How little do the great ones tcare, who
sit at home secure
What hidden dangers Golfers dare, what
hardships they endure &
The very fires their mansions boast, to
cheer themselves and wives
Mayhap were kindled at the cost gof jovial
colliers' lives. W
Then cheer up, lads, and make ye much
OF every Joy We can,
But let your mirth be always such as best
becomes man;
However Fortune turns about, we'll still
be jovial souls,
What would our country be without the
lads who look for Goals?

occupation of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, writes DR.. A. DeClairmont ex-
consul for Peru from Ohio, who recently
returned from South America by way
of the Canal Zone.
The wonderful progress in the cut

apparent to the traveller. From now
on, 1t will be question of hard work ;
hitherto 1t has been more or less a
question Of organization, such as at
tending to the sanitary department, put

stores for the employees. Hundreds Of
men are being discharged every week,
such as carpenters, machine men, boil
ermakers, etc, who have prepared The
double bed of the railroad and built
the machine shops so that the work
will go on without interruption.
The regular employees and engineers
will devote their time to the actual
work, which is moving so rapidly that
1t is the belief Of every one on the
isthmus that steamers will be passing
through the canal within five years, n
prediction which appears quite reason

that has to be done now Is the cutting
OF the Culebra. cut Of about eighty
feet to canal level, and the building

Jeannette and Jeannol

You are going far away,
Far away from poor Jeanette,
There Is no one left to'love me now,
And you too may forget;
But my heart will be. with you,
Wherever you may go.
Can you look me in the face ~
And say the same, Jeannot?
When you wear the jacket red,
And the beautiful cockade,
Oh! fear you will forget
All the promises you've made; I.
With your gun upon your shoulder
And your bayonet by your side,'
You'll be taking some proud lady
And be making her your bride;
You'll be taking some proud lady
And be making her your bride.
Or when glory leads the way,
You'll be madly rushing on,
Never thinking If they kill yon that.
My happiness Is gone;
If you win the day, perhaps,
A general you'll be.
Tho I'm proud to think of that,
What will become Of me?
Oh if | were Queen of France,
Or still better, Pope of Rome,
l would have no fighting men abroad
No weeping maids at home.
All the world should be at peace,
Or If kings must show their might,
Why let them who make the quarrels
Be the only men to fight;
Yes, let them who make the quarrels
Be the only men to fight.

Injunction Against Joints is Modified
But They Are Still Restrained
From Selling Liquor.

AS suddenly as it went on several
weeks ago, when an Injunction was
secured against several places in the
city where it is alleged intoxicants
were sold, the lid flew off in Vinita
and it is said the joints are flourishing
as in the days before the injunction
Judge Brown, at Claremore yester-
day modified the injunetions so that
the pool hall and other places were
permitted to open. The sale of intox
icating liquors on the premises Is still
restrained and the sheriff has the au-
thority to search the premises, and
if liquors are found the proprietors
may be punished for contempt. The
property owners under the state law
are also liable and if it is proven that
liquors are being sold in violation of
the state prohibition laws, the build
ing may be confiscated by direction
of the county attorney.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The President made a further effort yesterday to i'm prove what he characterizes as situa- tion fraught with grave mischief in respect to the anti-Japanese question in California, but if the temper of that States delegation in Congress is any indication of the result he made a mess Of it. Nearly every member of the delegation is angry and two of them spoke their minds freely in public with promise of more to follow. The i'll feeling directed toward the President by the CalifOrnianS was caused by MT. Roosevelt's severe criticism of certain members of the delegation in cOnversa- tion with individuals among their own number.
 Early in the day a conference was held at the White House on the Japa- nese question. the President calling in Secretary of State Bacon. Assistant Secretary O'Laughlin.

In this tele- gram the President reiterated his posi- tion on the Japanese question and gave a pointed warning of Federal court ac tiOn similar to the threat which was employed in 1907 when the San Fran cisco school question reached a crisis.
