(Tbe following poem was published over one hundred years ago, and is here reproduced on request of a sub. seriber ) Come near me, let me lay my hand Once more upon thy brow, And let me whisper in thine ear, Love’s last and fondest vow. ‘The lips that breathe these trembling words Will soon be cold in death, And thy dear cheek can feel ne more, Their warm and loving breath. I go from thee: God only knows How I have longed to stay— How I have shuddered thus to tread The long and shadowed way. Faith tells me that I soon may know The joy the blessed find, And yet I falter, while I cast A lingering look behind, Tove the loved before me here, In bitterness and tears, But 1 can leave thee something still To light thy weary years; Young tender forms will cling te thee, Perhaps will miss my tone, And though they will not share thy grief, You will not be alone, Fold them closer to thy breast, To soothe their childish woe, And cheer the many lonely hours ‘The motherless must know. The world with all its hopes and joys, Will sometimes make thee glad, But they m' ‘round a heart All desolate and sad, And O! when time shall calm thy grief, Per chance the hour may come, When thou shalt win anether form ‘To share thy heart and home; | When thon wilt welcome to thy board, | A younger, fairer face And bid thy children smile on ber Who takes their mother’s place, But think pot cou'd I speak to thee, ‘That I would frown or blame, i Though they sheuld love the stranger one, And call her by my name; For they can speak to thee for me While in thee is their trust, A word, a smile, a look like WILL call me from the dust, Yet make my grave no plaee for tears, ee ee ee ROOSEVELT INVITED _ KAISER TO LION HUNT.

Judge Snyder looked surprised and asked the woman if she had any negro blood in her veins. She replied that she had none. “Do your parents know that you are going to marry a negro?” he asked. “Yes,” she replied: “Do they not make objection?” “No,” she answered. Under the Kansas law it is manda- tory for a judge to issue licenses to persons who wish to marry if there are no legal objections to the mar- riage. Miscegenation is not a legal objection to matrimony in Kansas. He accordingly propouided the usual questions and issued the license. The names given were Arthur Moore, Kansas City, Mo., and Pearl Nance. Kansas City, Mo. Both gave their ages as 26 years. After the license was secured they asked Judge Sny- der to marry them, but he told them to hunt up some negro preacher. They left the courthouse on that mis- sion. or asked that any kind of a notice about himself or what he had dove be printed, it is not known, His re- cent speech on the Philippines was | admittedly the best effort on the Democratic side and members talked about it on the street cars and in the hotel lobbies. And yet DeArmond was practically forced to make it by his colleagues. He did nothing to| help himself when the Missouri dele- gation nominated him for Speaker before the Democratic caucus. He never has had to fight in the usual way for any office he has ever held, but if he goes into the senatorial fight against Stone, Clark and Wal- lace it will be different. ; HIS CHANCE TO QUIT. Some of those who have urged Judge DeArmond to make the race have tuld him that he ought to de- clare himself out of the running for Congress in his own district, take his life in his hand and fight forit. In no other way, they declare, could he hopetowin. Standing fortwo offices at once isa handicap in Clark, and Stone is making the most of it. If DeArmond decides to enter the fight, it is believed that he will go at it earnestly. He knows that Stone She Plucked Out Her Own Eye, Sparta, Tenn., Janu. 23.—Mrs. Eula Abbey, wife of a young merchant, is cussion iv the house to-day turned upon slavery in the Jologroupin the Philippines.

Mr. Moody, of -Massachusitts. said the United States authorities had never given countenance to slavery inthe Philippines. Mr. Mercer of Nebraska, who also visited the islands, said slavery was decreasing. Mr. Cochran of Missouri declared that many of the slaves were christians owned by Mobammedans. Austria Getting Nervous. Vienna, Jan, 23.—Charles Schwab, president of the United States Steel corporation, to-day conferred with the directors of the Alpine Mining company, the Prague company and other Austrian steel magnates.

But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which fills her with terror, The dread of childbirth takes away much of the joy of motherhood. And yet it need not beso, For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, a liniment called Mother’s Friend which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it. It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning sick- ness and the loss of the girlish figure.
