Is what Gods records show.
And on that mighty ledger
Is writ Sam Davis name
For honor's sake he would not
make
A compromise with shame.
The great world lay before him,
For he was in his youth.
With love of life young hearts
are rife,
But better he loved truth.
He fought for his convictions,
And when they stood at bay
He would not finch or stir one
inch
From honor's narrow way.
They offered life and freedom
If he would speak the word;
In silent pride he gazed aside
As one who had not heard.
The argued, pleaded, threaten
ed
It was but wasted breath.
LET come what must, | keep my
trust" /"
He said, and laughed at death
He would not sell his manhood
To purchase priceless hope;
Where kings drag down a nam,
, and crown
He dignifed a rope.
All, grave! where was your tri
umph?
All, death where was you
sting?
He showed you how a man coul,
bow
To doom and stay a king.
And God, who loves the loyal
Because they are like him,
l doubt not yet that soul shaI
set
Among his cherubim.
O Southland! bring your laurels
And add your wreath, 0 North
Ldt glory claim the hero's name
And tell the world his worth.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Filled With Curiosity.

The man was standing be-
hind a tree in front of an
apartment house in a cross
street when the cop on that
beat came pounding along
on the sidewalk. 1t was
close to midnight, and nat
urally the cop stopped and
looked at the man standing
behind the tree.
"Howdy," says the cop,
by way Of opening conversa-
ton.
you're another replied
the man good naturedly.
"Whutchuh doin' waitin'
for somebody" inquired the
brave policeman.
"Nope."
"Just standin' there, hey?"
you've hit it."
"Live near here, do your"
Right in there" says the
citizen, jerking his thumb in
the direction of the apart
ment house he was standing
in front of.
The cop looked at him
thoughtfully for a minute.
"Mebby it's none of my
business" he says, and then
again mebby it is. | don't

SAID TO BE FORCED
OUT OF THE SERVICE

DENVER, Sept 22.-Chief Officer ".
f. Johnson OF the local bureau of the
Indian service has resigned, effective
September 80. Friends declare that his
retirement is due to his persistence in

liquor interests allied with powerful po-
litical influences in western states.
Johnson is credited with having prac.
tically founded the Indian investigation
service, and while Oklahoma was still r
territory made numerous arrests for
selling liquor to Indians. In 1908 a
s25 900 appropriation for the service
was secured and Johnson was placed in
charge with headquarters in Salt Lake,

headquarters were moved here Since
he took charge Of the service johnson

THREE-FOURTHS OF
CANAL COMPLETED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Less than
one-fourth Of all the earth and rock to
be removed from the bed of the Panama
canal was in place September l. The
excavation in Culebra cut during Au.
gust reached the great total of ,442, ,402
cubic yards, the best record for rainy
season month in the history of the cut.
The concrete layers are keeping pace
with the canal diggers and on Septem-
Der Q they had placed over 81 per cent
of the concrete for all of the vast
locks on the canal,
The earth continues 10 slide down
the steep banks at several places in
Culebra cut, but the conditions there
are more satisfactory than at any time
since 1907. 1t has been necessary
again TO increase the estimates of the
amount Of material yet TO be removed,
but the engineers declare that this will
not increase the cost of the work nor
affect the time of completion because
improved methods have reduced the ex.
cavating charge as the work has ad.
yanced
