Who is it that cries to the smoke
cobwebbed skies
That wars horrid horrors must
cease?
Who is it that yells through the dark
Dardanelles
That he Is a person Of peace?
Who rises to beg that the Court Of
The Hague
Put an end to this awful rough
work?
Why, the always unbearable,
Formerly terrible,
Recently scareable
Turk.
Who was it that spread his dominion
Of dread
Over neighboring terror-filled
lands?
Who was it the while wore a hideous
smile
AS he stretched forth his blood
dripping hands?
Who, all uncOncerned, slew and pill
laged and burned,
Putting all who opposed to the
dirk?
The seldom courageous,
The often rampageous,
The always outrageous
Old Turk.
And who, now he knows that the
wrath Of his foes
At last into fury has hared,
Pleads, with fear-shaken breath, as
he looks upon Death,
That the life that Is in him be
spared?
Who begs to retain the blood-builded
domain
Where he once, like a beast, loved
to lurk?
That prince of bravado,
That black desperate,
That glory tornado,
The Turk.

MANIAC sTRANGLER OF BOYS.
j. F.. Hickey Makes Complete Con.
fession of Murder Of Two.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 29.-J. Frank
Hickey to-day made complete con-
fession of the murder Of Joseph Jo-
sephs, the seven-year-old Lackawan-
ma boy whose dismembered body was
found in q cesspool In Lackawanna,
November IS, and also admitted that
he killed Michael Kruck, New York
newsboy, twelve years old, ten years
ago. Death in both instances was
caused BY strangulation.
Hickey attributed his crimes to
the excessive use of liquor. When
drunk, he said, he was possessed of
an irresistible mania for killing boys.
He denied that he had committed
other similar crimes, announced he
was repentant for his deeds and ex-
pected to pay the penalty.
Caught by Post Cards.
Hickey's fondness for writing pos
tai cards to the police proved his un-
doing. In one postal from Boston
the then unknown writer wrote Of
the Kruck murder as follows:
Wednesday night, December 10th,
1902, enticed Michael Kruck, a
newsboy, at 88th street and Central
Park, West, New York city, into the
park opposite the entrance to the ar
cNal police station. I strangled him
ild just escaped the officer who
ioUnd him as came back. Three
IiGes have taken life; twelve times
Daye tried, and cannot help It,"
Another card from Boston told of
the Josephs boy and where the body
would be found. The police followed
the minute instructions Of the card
and recovered the body in decom-
posed fragments.
First Arrest for Kruck.
New York, Nov. 29.-The body OF
Michael Kruck, one Of the boys
Hickey confessed he murdered, was
found in an excavation in Central
Park on the night Of December TO-
1902. Death had been due to stran-
gulation.
Suspicion was directed toward
Hickey at the time and he was pick
ed up in Buffalo in a maudlin condi-
tion. In semi-delirious state he
confessed to the murder, but when
the effects of the liquor wore off he
repudiated the confession and was
subsequently released owing to lack
Of evidence.

cried, and rising and passing around
the table she kissed her husband
lightly on his bald head.
Darling he said, taking her
slim white hand, is there anything
else ! can do for you?'
Nothing on earth, she answered,
and then, with little silvery laugh,
she added, Nothing in this world; !;

The cause of Miss Cameron's
blindness was an Opaque substance,
which filed the pupils Of her eyes
and did not allow the transmission

tion consisted in cutting through
this substance, making a window"
through which the rays OF light
could reach the inner eye, and vir-
tually furnishing an artificial pupil

For few minutes after gaining

the emotions to which Miss Cameron

ing great deal Of attention, Of late,
to the seals of the different States,
contending as to the Inappropriate
ness Of some of them.
Quoting from the State descrip-
ton by that paper Of the seal of Geor-
gia given by the late Carlye McKin-
ley, as representing bow-legged
soldier in a summer house watching
for nothing, the Tampa Times re-
marks that "the great seal of Florida
is far more absurd" and specifies:
1T ha supon it picture represent
ing body Of water, having upon the
further shore the geographical ab-
surdity (for Florida) of range Of
mountains. In the river--if it Is one
there is a nondescript craft, sup
posed to be, or designed for,
steamboat; but If it bears any re-
semblance to such craft, the last one
of the kind must have been wrecked
before Fulton died. On the margin
of the river, just at the foot of the
range Of countains, is vegetable
growth presumed to be palm tree,
but the species is now extinct. The
palm is taller than the mountains.
In the foreground, on the hither side
OF the river, is the figure Of an In
dian woman; that is, we suppose it,
from certain indications, to be wo-
man, though we are not sure. She Is

the picture. Fame has not preserved
the name Of the artist who Is respon-
! sible for this outrage upon the artis-
tic tastes of prosperity. We doubt
that any Of the other States can pre-
, sent to an admiring world such
masterpiece in this line as Florida"
The State counsels the Floridians
to not be too cast down over this, and
comments:
But let Floridians be not too
much cast down; their State seal Is
no worse, either for incongruities or
for artistic shortcomings, than any
one Of half dozen other State seals.
California, for instance, displays a
,corpulent, but grim-visaged old dame
and grizzly bear, entirely ignoring
each other, gazing absent-mindedly
out upon the Golden Gate, up the
center OF which stands a full-rigged
ship under all canvas.
Kentucky exhibits two dapper
men, one in knee-breeches, the other
in trousers, in a position which indi-
