,orable citizen with high thoughts In Q
heart that knows and understands. >
In a musical voice and with com.
mendable authority Miss Carmen
Blow eulogized Byron" the English
poet. Said Miss Blow:
while France was in the thoes OF
reconstruction following the revolution
and England was in a similar politi-
cal turmoil, there arose one who for
power of genius and dramatic per-
sonality is the most representative
poet of his age, Lord Byron. Natively
The was endowed with all the attribut-
ed of happiness, but the world gave
to him his discord of misery. The in
fluence of n motlfer who first pas
sionately loved him and then neglect
ed him left his childish heart cropping
for sympathetic understanding. An
other and heavier burden, one which
turns genius either to the heights or
depths was added to his shoulder-he
was cripple and sensitive. 'Childe
Harold brought the public to the feet
of the wonder poet, just as the results
of his unhappy marriage called upon
him the scorn and bitter sting OF
that same tickle public. From Italy
where he sought refuge, he sent back
to his native land masterpieces of
misery, defiance and despair. He died
alone as he lived alone, isolated by
his own intense and ourning genius"
Miss Edna Neldhart gave a splendid
idea of Commercial Possibilities in
China.
American trade in the Orient Is
one of the richest or our future
sources of income" according to the
speaker. "American business men
men have strangely closed their eyes
to this fact which is being grasped by
other nations, The Chinese market is
the broadcast In the world today, just
waking as II is to the modern methods
Of progression. Boards of trade are
applying to the Oriental
for a supply of the American
goods, and the indiffer-
ence of our merchants and manufac-
turers has been the despair of our
foreign emissaries. America must
guard her opportunity. Shall we allow
our rival. Japan, to wax rich on
trade that should be legitimately
said of the American bsiness man in
his grasp for the American dollar he
fails to hear the clink of Oriental
yold?"

ACCEPTS HONOR

Indianapolis, Ind, April 30.-Urged
by his friends to dispel any appre-

Friday at noon formally accepted the

conventions action with numerous
anxious inquirers, Mr.. Kern issued this
statement:
"An honor of this kind, unsought,
but conferred by the unanimous voice
of the representatives of the great
party would be highly appreciated by
any man normally constituted and it
of course Is greatly appreciated by

me.
AS the party has spoken on this
subject with such unanimity, and as
the senatorial aspirants entered the
contest and so cheerfully acquiesced
in the result, assume that the Demo-
cratic members of the legislature will
feel like carrying out the popular
will.
"I do not know that any formal ac-
ceptance of the honor is necessary.
Not having sought it, I will not now
decline it."

A Woman's Hands

Gus yellow rosin soap. 1t will eat in
