The following poem written by
Richard Realf, who made history
with John Brown In Kansas and was
with him at Harper's Ferry. is one OF
three prime favorites Of the editor OF
The Gate City:
Fair are the flowers and the children.
but their subtle suggestion is
fairer;
Rare is the rosebud of dawn, but the
secret that clasps it is rarer;
Sweet the exultance Of song, but the
strain that precedes 1t is sweet
And never was poem yet writ, but the
meaning outmastered the meter.
Never daisy that grows but mys-
terry guideth the growing;
Never a river that flows but maj
esty specters the flowing;
Never a Shakespeare that scared but
a stronger than he did enfold
him,
Nor ever a prophet foretells but
mightier seer hath foretoid
him.
Back of the canvas that throbs the
painter is limited and hidden:
Into a statue that breathes the soul
of the sculptor is hidden;
Under the JOY that is felt lie the in
finite issues Of feeling;
Growing the glory revealed is the
glory that crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols OF being, but
that which is symboled Is
greater;
Vast the create and beheld, but vast
er the inward creator:
Back of the sound broods the silence
back of the gift stands the
giving,
Back of the hand that receives thrill
the sensitive nerves of receiv-
ing.
Space is as nothing to spirit, the
deed is outdone by the doing;
The heart of the wooer is warm, bu
warmer the heart of the WOO
ing;
And UP from the pits where thos
SILVER, and up from the height
where those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim sta
ward and the essence of life
divine.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow's convenient time
To finish every task
In every season, every cline,
For that. day do we ask,
We seem to think that it will stay
Two weeks, or maybe four,
We fill it full of work and play
And keep on adding more.
Tomorrow we are sure to write
Those letters, half score;
To NOV the lawn before it's night,
And look our scrapbooks Ger.
Then there's that little call to pay,
A book to be returned;
Storm windows to be put away,
A ton of rubbish burned.
There's little Johnny's car to mend
And Mabels doll to patch,
An errand for an absent friend,
Some silk for wife to match.
For purposes of work and play
That on our lists appear
Tomorrow should come twice a day
And then should last year.

Justice Harlan.

A grand American has gone,
And thus they vanish one by one,
Strong pillars of the home and state,
Illustrious among the great!
His life in home and church and
state
Was glorified by truth and fate.
And every impulse of his mind
Was tuned to love his humankind
In war and peace he played his part
With splendid soul and loving heart,
Helping the people night and day,
Their champion ever brave and gay!
He loved the truth and loved the law,
A soul without a SHINING flaw.
Whose glorious, honest, loyal name
Shall shine in golden halls Of fame.

That ragtime music will eventually
drive the American public crazy be-
cause of its effects upon the nerve
centers and brain cells of the human
system, and that it is mainly respon-
sible for many business failures and
cases of hopeless insanity, is the state
nsent of DIR. Ludwig Drummer, late in
structor of the Imperial Academy of
Medical Research at Berlin. The
chances are that the doctor takes the
situation too seriously. Ragtime music
hasn't driven anybody in this country
crazy or into bankruptcy as yet, and
as it is only a passing fad it isn't
likely to produce insolvency or insan
ity in future. The best that can be

The First Frost.

ne FIST Frost.
Across the 'gayly bordered walk,
Along the garden wall,
A freaksome spirit of the night
Had sounded sudden call.
And quick his minions gathered there,
They breathed along the way,
And straightway every flower fell
In unexpected fray.
Geraniums and scarlet sage,
And clematis that grew,
Upon the garden wall were touched,
BY what they scarcely knew.
They felt the chill of icy breath
OF goblin fingers cold,
And shrank within themselves, Till
stems
Their, weight could not uphold.
And when the curtains of the night
Rolled back, and it. was day,
A hundred brilliant garden flowers
In blackened splendor lay.

In the purchase of the Pond Dairy

HINDU FIRE WALKER
BACK TO THE WOODS
REFUSES TO BxIuBrr BECAUSE
OF "uNBELrEvBRs" IN
AUDIENCE.
lFrom salurday,a AdverlIsor.l

Kishun Dass, the Hindu ere walker,
has lost faith in the efficacy Of his
prayers to defy Gre and heat, and yes.
terday announced that the people who
watched him walk upon the hot char.
Goals at the Park Theater were unbe.
levers, and among them he could not
perform. The result was that he lay
upon his back all day, refusing to ex.
hibit, and last night ticket was
bought for him and he was packed
back to suva, Fiji. on the zealandia.
The theater was dark last evening
when patrons gathered there.
Kishun Dass was true to the tradi-
tons of his race, for last evening he
did the vanishing act and is now on
his way across the seas to dear old Fiji.
His one night before an American audi.
ence startled him and he felt that to
go further would only spell disaster.
On the opening night the audience
could not see the bed of red hot Goals.
Some yelled fake. There was confu-
sion on the stage. Dass manager, Mr..
Grant of FIJI forgot to call a commit.
tee from the, audience to look at the
Goals and examine them to see If they
were red hot. Dass was bewildered.
He doesn't understand English and
stood bewildered, but finally thought
he should 60 on.
Several persons, all seemingly in
authority, but all in conflict with one
another, attempted to run the stage,
and between them all Dass fell. He
fuddled around in the thick sand and
could not do his dervish dance we'll.
The Goals were too hard and they re.
tanned their heat for an hour, and the
audience appeared not to be satisfied
until he had stayed on them the full
hoar 1t was sad night for Dass.
"Those people are unbelievers, he
explained in his own Hindustanese.
~ can not walk in the FIRE amid the
unbelievers. My prayers do not pre-.
vail. -
One Of his managers explained after
the show that Dass felt he was u fail.
ure amid unbelievers. The audience
was taken to task for not being more
tolerant.
"They ought to understand that this
is q religious ceremony" he said. But
the audience went to the theater to see
an act, not religious ceremony. Dass
might regard it as such, but amid
American audiences he would have to
go billed as a member of the vast army
of vaudeville entertainers. He could
not stand audeville, or being a star in
that armament, and so decided that he
had better go back to the south Seas
And 30 at midnight the Hindu van
ished and his theatrical career may be
said to have come to a sudden close.

BEATS
JACK YOUNGER IN
WRESTLING MATCH

If all the wrestling matches that ara
pulled of in Honolulu in the future
are as clean and good as that between
Jack Younger and John Froelicher,
which was staged at the Orpheum
Theater last night, there will be
plenty of room for the sport in Hawaii.
The match was won by Froelicher, who
got two falls to his opponent g one.
The first spasm lasted nine and one
half minutes, and was taken by Froe-
icher, who threw Younger with a half
nelson. The bout was a beauty, and
although Froelicher was the aggressor
all the time, Younger made good i'm.
preston.
The second bout was even better
and it lasted for sixteen min ties; both
men did their best and most of the
time were down on the mat. Younger
was cheered for the way in which he
got his foot away from Froelicher
when the latter would try for one of
the worst grips of the lot. Younger
would sometimes allow his foot to be
grabbed, but would, with a terrific
kick, free himself and smile at the
crowd.
The fans were worked up over the
struggle, and when Younger got full
nelson on Froelicher and slowly up.
turned him and made the fall the
cheers must have been heard for
blocks.
The third fall was made in eight
minutes, and it was Froelicher who got
a forward chancery hold and threw his
man, and won the match.
1t was fine exhibition of skill and
the fans enjoyed every minute of the
bout. 1t is a pity that there were not
more people present at the show; the
house was only half full. Those who
stayed away missed a real good thing.
The preliminary bout between Derby
and Allten was won by the first named
with two straight falls Allten was as
soft as mud and had not much chance
against Derby. The first fall was a
rolling one and was not allowed The
first fall that scored was when Derby
got half nelson on Allten and laid
him out fiat on his back.
The second fall was simply caused
through Allten quitting and stretching
out on the broad of his back. He
acknowledged after the affair that lie
had quit. Athens half threat to swat
Hyman Raphael on the face did not
make him popular with the crowd. The
Columbia Park boy thought that the
men were wrestling in the style that

fall, but when told that the wrestlers
were not conforming with those rules
took back his decision aud told the
spectators the reason.

TELEPHONE SERVICE
CHEAP IN SWEDEN

BERLIN, May 11.-Sweden is, above
everything, the land of cheap tele.
phones, and there are more of them, in
proportion to the population. than in
any other country in the world. Stock
holm, with 100000 inhabitants, has no
less than $4,000 telephone subscribers,
and the competition in the capital be-
tween the state telephones and those
owned by private company has pro-
duced remarkably cheap rates.
Some years ago the private company
introduced an annual subscription Of
$l1, which enabled the subscriber to
indulge in 600 calls. The state respond
ed by introducing an annual subscrip-
ton Of $3.50, and now the private com
pany has gone one better by charging
a minimum of SO per annum for 600
calls. Over and above this number the
subscriber pays approximately one.ffth
of cent for each additional call.
In most of the provincial towns of
Sweden the annual subscription for a
telephone averages SIG. Long distance
telephone conversations in Sweden are
remarkably cheap, being at the rate of
approximately three cents for sixty
miles, while the longer distances are
still cheaper at the rate of 20 cents for
a distance of 600 miles. All sorts of
concessions are made to inhabitants Of
remote districts who desire to be con-
nected with the outside world by tele-
phone wire, and there is hardly vii.
lage, even in the more distant parts Of
Sweden. without telephone.
Notwithstanding the cheap prices, the
state telephones produce an annual
profit of approximately $l,25O,OOO
which is equivalent to ten per cent
dividend on the invested capital.
