PICTURES OF MEMORY.

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memorys wall,
Is one of a dim. old forest
That seems the best of all;
Not for its snarled oaks olden.
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden.
That sprinkle the vale below:
Not for the milk white lilies,
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
CoquetinS all day with the sunbeams
And stealing their golden edge;
Not Tor the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pink, nor the pale. sweet
cowslip,
II seemeth to me the best.
Il once had little brother.
With eyes that were dark and deep;
In the lap of that old, dim forest
He lieth in peace, asleep:
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow.
We roved there the beautiful sum
mers-
/ The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary
And one of the autumn caves,
| made for my little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in meek embrace,
AS the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face:
And when the arrows OF sunset
Lodged in the tree tops bright,
He fell, in his saint.like beauty.
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, Of all the pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
The one OF the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.

CAPTAIN HARRIS
PLEA FOR JUSTICE
SAYS THE KILLING OF ANSiS WAS
NOT A CRIME AGAINST THE
UNITED STATES.

NEW YORK. Feb. 4--From his
cell in Sing Sing prison, where he is
serving a seven years sentence for the
murder of william r. Annis, whom he
accused OF making love to his wife.
Captain Peter &. Hams. whose resig-
nation from the regular army has
been accepted by the President, has
made poetic appeal for Justice to
the Secretary of War.
Il am resigning for the sake of my
three children" he says, "in order
that / shall not be dropped from the
rolls"
Hams then insists that he commit
ted no offense against the United
States. The killing of Annis, whom
he shot down in cold blood on n float
at the Bayside Yacht Club May 16,
1908, while the magazine man was
dressed in bathing suit and unarm-
ed was necessary for the honor OF
Captain Hams.
I'm resigning from the service "a
keep from being dropped from the
rolls" SAYS Hams in his letter to Sec
rotary Dickinson, Il desire to state
that William E. Annis, for the killins
of whom ! am now serving a sentence
in this prison, posing as a friend. tool

ment duty to destroy my home.
