Martha Ponatowak y.
A girl descended the steps of a great
gray church. In her hand she held a
violin ease; a roll of music lay folded
within her firm. She paused upon the
lower step tp reulasp the fastening of
her long black,cloak. The hood which
was attached fell from her head aud
disclosed a fair face with beautiful
dark blue eyes. The falling hood dis
arranged her hair, which hung in curb
ing red-gold waves about her face.
She stretched forth a white hand aud
gathered up the music and violin case.
As she reached the street she ab
ruptly met the gaze of a stranger; for
an instant they looked into each other's
eyes. She saw a man with a frank,
pleaeant face, and dark, pointed beard
"He must be an artist," she thought,
" but he looked as if he were success
ful." In the Bohemia which she in
habited sho had never seen the suc
cessful artist.
" That girl would make a fine model
for a young saint; most unusual faco,"
he thought. " Let me see, St Cocilia,
would it bo? Sho carried music. She
looked patrician; but sho looked poor,
and the two when they come together
are always pathetic. Poor little girl,
so uncommonly pretty I I wonder if
she has a good mother and a comfort
able supper awaiting her? I'll wagor
she hasn't the latter I"
When he reached his club tho girl's
face arose above his tobacco smoke.
" She has a face one does not often
see; a face not easily forgotten; it will
reappear, and a fellow catches himself
building castles and dreaming dreams.
Tomorrow is Easter aud they will cele
brate at St. John's church. I saw her
coming down tho stops carrying a vio
lin; she will be likely to play; there
will bo no harm in hearing her, and
the old folks will be pleased to have
me go to church with them."
He lay back in bis comfortable chair
with half closed eyes; tho girl's head
immediately arose?with brow, deop
blue eyes, red-gold hair wreathed in
billowy tobacco smoke, which ascended
in clouds laden with droams and il
luminated by the incandescent lights.
When Martha reached homo she
climbed three liights of rickety stairs,
flanked by unsightly, mouldering
broken plaster. Ragged, thin-faced
children, and untidy, hollow-eyed
women peered from crowded doorways.
More than one hopeful urchin pulled
her cloak and demanded a penny.
This penalty she was required to pay
for having bestowed a small ottering
upon a sick child the dav before.
Martha opened the door of a room
near the t,\y. This place was bare,
with scant, poverty-stricken bareness,
and so cloan that the bareness was
more plainly apparent. A small win
dow looked out among the clouds. You
could see the steeple of St. Johns
church and the great city, breathing,
throbbing, grinding below, ever burst
ing into a great whistle or roar. In
the window an Easter lily raised its
pure petalB in search of tho sun. A
sweet-faced, delicate woman had pre
pared tea. Martha wound her arms
around her mother's neck aud kissed
her. " Dear mother, Herr Moser
praises me; he says it is wonderful. I
am to play tomorrow at the morning
service, and Herr Moser doeB not fear
for me."
Her mother kissed the fair choek
and made the girl drink tea and eat a
thin bread, which lay before her.
" I have seen my uncle," said the
mother. " It may bo most unfortun
ate that we came to this city."
The girl set her tea cup down and
turned with inquiring eyes to her
mother, who had arisen to pace the
floor, with growiug oxcitoment.
" I heard today that he is a promi
nent merchant here. I have told you
before, Martha, how I angered my
Uncle Qerald by marrying Martin Pon
atowsky, the poor Polish music master.
I once wrote to ask my uncle's pardon;
he had married tho beautiful Mrs. Mal
colm and quite forgot me in his new
happiness. I never received an an
swer. Afterward I heard that he had
moved away, taking his wife and step
son, leaving no message for me. I
loved him dearly; he has boon both
father and mother to me. My prido
was hurt, and in all of my wanderings
I have made no effort to flnd him."
The poor woman's gaze strayed upward
above the Easter lily into tho cold,
grey clouds of early spring. " He
might forgive me now," she whispoied.
" Martin ia dead."
Martha kissed away tho tears that
fell from her mother's eyes. " Mother,
he happy. I will earn enough for ue
both. Herr Moser says that atter
tomorrow people will ask me to teach
their daughters music. You should
have seen the way he looked at me, and
said, 'Bravo, little girl I' "
Martha Ponatoweky sighed and said.
" It is well that Herr Moser is married
and grey-headed."
" And bald and fat and ugly,"
laughed her daughter, "it is well
also that he is good and charitable.
No, mother, dear, fate will not wreak
further vengeance lipon us. You were
happy with my father, the poor music
master, but you fear poverty for me,
and hope that riches will Qnd ue some
day and bear me uway."
She placed the music open upon tho
table, gently took the violin trom the
box. 44 Dear father, he could do little
for me, but Herr Moser says he gave
me hie talent, and he bequeathed me
his Cremona; together, we will awaken
people, mother.'' She drew the bow
slowly across the strings, tenderly
screwed the key of the violin, then
broke softly into the pure-toned Easter
music. Softly it ascended until it
seemed to pierce the mouldering ceil
ing, ascending through the misty gloom
of the eity twilight; ever upward until
It rang triumphantly beside the 'air
evening star which shone upon an
Eaater lilv.
.: The next morning the belle rang out
from tit. John's church in sweet, glad
melody, " He Has Biaen." The large
church was filled with worshipers, who
came attired in rioh costumes, com
memorative of the joyous times. A
grey light fell through the loft stained
Wludows noon the head of the rector,
who read, the words, " For if we have
been planted together in the likeness I
of His death, wo shall be ablo also In
the likeness of His resurrection." The
choir sang a glad, triumphant chorus;
fhen a girl arose and her slender fin
gers drew a bow softly across the
strings of a violin, A yonng man
turned his kindly hazel eyes toward 1
the organ loft, and beheld the slender
figure clad in black; her ruddy golden
hair curled about her brow; upon hor
breast was pinned a white lily.
Softly the violin mourned Christ's
sufferings in the garden, the betrayal,
the doom, the death, the universal sor
row;, then earns the pure expectant
note of hope. j
. People turned with breathless inter, j
\ / ?
oat toward the organ loft and aaw a
ge?i!?\.youthful fuc* bending slightly
upward. A clear sunbeam breaking
from beneath the grey clouds and
rising city mists quivered through the
stained mullioued windows, full upon
tho girl's golden head, tinged the
petal* of the lily upon her bosom, then
burst Into a Hood of sunshine from
chauuel tu orgau loft. The clear, vie
torlous music arose, " He Has Itisen."
The congregation arose in all tne
pervading love and renewed happiness,
which seemed to descend from heaven
to earth. The music rang in sweet
harmony, then died in a triumphant
note df joy and love.
Martha descended a dim stairway,
which led from the orgau loft. Hho
carried her violin; the black hood
drawu close could not conceal the rich
hair which ehono beneath. Three peo
ple Btood at the bottom of the stair?
a kindly-faced, grey-haired old gen
tleman, who was duly stamped with
tho mark of prosperity; a lady, erect,
richly dressed, with hair drawn a la
Sjmpadour, stood proudly at his sido.
eyoud was the man with the dark,
hazel oyes and pointed board. Tears
stood within the old gentleman's eyes;
geuuine feeliug shone upou his kind,
high-bred face; his hands wero ox
tended.
" Marth?!" ho criod?" Martha Ger
aid."
?? Martha Pouatowsky," said tho
girl, In hor modest, musical tones.
" Of course," ho cried, uyou are hor
daughter, I can scarcely believe you
are uot Martha herself; tako mo to
your mother." His bands closed tight
ly upou Martha's. " Take mo to vour
niothor." ho repeated.
Martha kissed hitu and said. " You
are my undo."
The lady with the pompadour bowed
over tho baud that the girl hold out to
her. When tho young man came
forward she said, " This is my sou,
Horbert Malcolm."
Martha was looking timidly from
one to tho other, when the old gcutle
mau cried, " Your aunt and cousiu."
Martha hardly know how it hap
, penod. Thoy walked out iuto tho sun
shine, tho enow was fast disappearing
and around them was tho swcot, warm
breath of resurrected spring. They
rodo away in a carriage drawn by
horses that tossed their heads proudly
and trod the reccd'ng roadway wilh im
'patieut speed. Tho carriage stopped
at a stately maneiou; the lady and her
son alighted with a kind goodbye nnd
the old gentleman said again, *? Now,
take mo to Martha."
The begging children reaped a sil
ver shower and followed him until a
door flew open, whou a glad cry of
/?Uncle!" waa^heard, and the old gen
Me man threw his arms nround his
niece's neck and Bobbed.
That evoning tho lady of the proud,
v,imcion presence bent her head and
said, " Arthur, forgive mo; I know
you can whilo you aro happy. A let
tor came from Martha suon after her
marriage. I was jealous. The ser
vant placod tho letter, m your absence,
upon tho mantel in our library. It fell
behind through a narrow aporture in
the wall?it lies thoro now."
His lips trembled in surprised dis
pleasure. Then ho said, "Judith, I
forgivo you."
Martha and her mother camo to Ihc
beautiful house. It was like a fairy
droam to the girl; made lovely with
pictures and rich objects of art. Her
mothor's and uncle's faces showed an
innor peace which had been absent for
your a. Marthu stood before them, the
violin spoke, to her touch. Malcolm's
eyes were fastened upon tho exquisite
face, so like a picture he had seen; he
could recall the name, '* Tho Dawn of
Love."
When no ouo was listening he said,
" I am glad I found you, Martha."
THE HIGH PRICK OF BEEF.
FurtucrH Ought to Appreciate
the Importuticc of Cuttle
RuiMitig.
The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier makes the following
observations on a matter of in forest to
all farmers in South Carolina :
Thero has been a great deal in the
newspapers receutly about the " Beef
Trust" and how it has raised the price
of beef on the markot. The fight has
had its good and its bad results so far
as this State is concerned. It has
raised the price, to the consumer, of tho
moat bo has had to buy, but, on the
other hand, it has emphasized the op
portunities for stock raising in this sec
tion. It has opened up a market for
South Carolina cattle and, while tho
price of home-raised beef has had to
go up with the price of Western meat,
it has put money into tho pockets of
thoso who had forethought and went
into the market and bought beef for
Northern and Western markets.
In previous fights that the " Beef
Tiust " has had the Southern markets
have been ignored. No one thought
there was beof enough here to supply
any domand or to amount to anything.
When the recent raise was enforced
the retailers in the North and East
figured on how they could get meat to
supply the demand and not have to
buy it all from the members of the or
ganization, which hod raised their
prices. They sent agents through the
South and it was not long before thoy
found a great many moro cattle than
they suspected in South Carolina, that
were waiting to go to the slaughter
pon. Those who had bought tho cattle
and put them up in pons found a sud
den demand, and where they had boon
selling to local doalers for three or three
and a half cents gross, they found it
just as easy to sell for a cent more on
every pound, and then those who knew
the conditions wont to work to gather
ing up cattle and getting thorn near
some cotton seed oil plant or other
place where quick fattening food was
easily to bo had, and belter prices were
to be had as a result of the fattoned
conditions of the animals.
It is stated on authority that not less
than ((00 head of cattle were shipped
from Winnsboro within tbo last few
months and fuiiy as many head went
from Columbia. The same conditions
existed in other parts of the State.
Most of the cattle wero shipped to
Richmond and from there distributed
to the various markets, after having
been graded aud classified. Those who
Iiad the good sense to raise cattle for
market made more monoy this year
out of that line than they have ever
before made, regardless of the high
price of ?rain.
After a while the farmers will roal
jze what an easy matter it is for them
to raise good cattle, and as soon as
they do and the supply Is sufllcient to
warrant agents coming here to look
after them there will bo a good market
here. The trouble all along has beon
that the buyers have not thought thero
Wus enough cattle here to buy for
them to work thi* field carefully, but
they are now finding out differently.

THIS SENATORIAL
CANDIDATES.

i'akk.
Five Hundred I'ooute Ldtttuucd to the
HpccvlicM With UuflatfKiuu lutereut.
Uroenvillo Mountaineer, Aug. 2.
The six gentlemen who are candi
dates for the Unitod States Seuate hon
ored the peopie ot tireeuville with their
presence yesterday, aud they wore
greeted at the city park by an audi
ence of lire hundred, including about
fifty ladies, who were on the outskirts
of the crowd. The order throughout
the speaking was most excellent, and
it was plainly to be seen that it was
" Mo-Man's Land " so far as tho de
monstration indicated tho preference
in candidates. Greenville is fallow
ground for them, and the seed sown
by the speeches will germinate and
bear fruit ou the 20th of August. Capt.
A. Ely the p. . aided at tho meeting,
and introduced the speakers in the
briefest style, so that uo time was lost
on tho preliminaries. The bulk of the
audiouce came from the lower section
of the county, aud it is presumed the
county campaigners had awakened a
thirst for politics iu the oarlier part ot
tbe week. Tho following is a sum
mary of the speeches iu tho order they
wore made:
Ex Governor Evans told why ho is in
tho race and donouncod McLaurin, who
Is oringing at tho foot of a ltopuhlic.au
President. He 1b not here to vindicate
his course, as it does not need any vin
dication. Every man has a right to offer
himself for the suffrages of tho pooplo.
He does not claim any right to bo elected
because he foresaw tho Ropublcanlsm
of the man who has misrerep
aontod South Carolina during tho last
term in tho United Statoa Sonato. The
man who keeps his mouth shut and takos
favors at tho hands of tho Republicans
1b sore to laud in that parly. Is the
South wrong for maintaining its rights?
Tho farmors of this* country sont abroad
$797,000,000 in cotton, corn, whoat and
othor produotB of tho soil, whilo manu
facturers exported $121,000,000. This
immense sum of farm products wont to
pay tho manufacturers of tho North for
tho clothing, shoes, hats, plows, farm
implements, and there is not enough loft
to buy chewing gam for tho baby. Tariff
reform is the oiuy slogan for tho Domo
cratic party, and under this banner it
won the groatest victory and elected Us
only President since Buchanan. Till- !
man has made a most accoptablo Sonator
and the Rcpuhlicaus will givo him al
moBt anything ho asks for. Thoy respect
him and are afraid that he will icll all he
knows about them. Ouo of his coiupoti
tors (meaning Latimer) has been la a
boom-proof fort tho past ton years,
drawing a big aunual salary, aud tells
tho pooplo " how bravo we aro aud what
woudors wo poiformod." Mr. Evans
mado his tariff reform speech, portray
in?? tho woos of tho Southern cottou
farmer. It la time for tho pcoplo to wako
up, ho said, aud quit aoudlug corpora
tion lawyers to tho United Htatea Senate
and tho General Assembly. All this talk
about turning looao tho Philippines is
nonseusd, for tho Republican party has
got them and is going to hold them. Tho
same way with Cuha. Mr. Evans told
of his oxperionco in the Ialand of Cuba,
"where the aweet perfume of the tlowera
minglea with tho disgusting smell of the
Cuban uiggor." Tho only pure bloods
there are Spaniards, who will not allow
their childron to be born on the island
for fear that they might be callod Cu
bans. Under the hauner of tariff roform
can the National Democratic party hope
to gain victory? He is not hero to dls
'cnss purely acadomic questions, Buch as
the ship subsidy achomo, atatlng that
Mr. Morgan had anticipated the action
of Congresa and bought up all tho im
portant ateamahip lines. Ho spoke on
tho Transportation Trust aud tho neces
sity of stringent navigation lawn.
In conclusion Mr. Evans beggod tho
people, " Whon you come to choose a
Senator to net up besido old Bon Till
man, for tho Lord's sake don't yoke up
a jackass with a thoroughbrod."
Mr. Latimor told his audionco that
this is but a repetition of what tho poo
plo have had to listen to every time an
election ernes round?candidates come
and toll you all tho woes imaginable and
ask election, and that onds it. He wants
to bring ovory dollar possible into tho
South. Ho is in favor of lowering tho
taxes, but it is folly to attempt to change
the tariff under Republican administra
tion. The Wilson tariff law was onaoted
by tho Democrats, but there was a deticit
of $221,000,000 in the expenses of the
govornmont during two years. The
Dingloy tariff law was made by the
Republicans, and thoro is no chance to
change it by the votes of Soutborn Dom
ocrata. Ho ia againat tho iniquities of
the tariff, and ho haa pnrauod no coward
ly policy in Congress. The man who
Chargen it ia making a falao statement.
Therefore he worka for practical results,
trying to do something for his pooplo.
Bo agrees with all the principles of his
party on all national queationa and it is
useless waste of time to discuss thorn
bofore a Democratic audionco. Chooso
a man to go to tho Senate who has a
fixod purpose when ho goos there ; soo
that he bringe home aoine tangiblo re
suite and not stand up in Congroas and
make apeeches which count for nothing.
Mr. Latimor told of hia appropriations
obtained and apoko in defence of hia
seed, which he said had been character
ized as being rotten. Ho claims to havo
brought into this State $812,000 in the
way of appropriations. He advocated
bringing ovory Yankoo possible iuto the
Slate and let them boo us aa wo aro.
Tho bringing of Mr. Littlotloid down to
the Charleston Exposition he regardod
as his beat work whilo in Congreas, for
out of Plumb. I
When the wall la out of plumb the
building is more or less unsafe, and the
higher the wall is carried out of the per
pendicular the greater the danger of col
lapse. It's about so with the health; it

he the Southern negro as he is on
this trip and went back to Washington
Snd defeated the Orumpaoker force bill,
[e referred to the charges made against
him and dismissed them with a general
and flat denial. Speeches in Congress
can accomplish but little, bat we must
have men with practical mothodB, who
?.an bring relief to tho Southern people.
He had booh condemned for getting
seeds aud appropriations. He answered
thin by asking, " What did you pooplo
get before we wont to Congress ?" If
you did not get theso you would get I
nothing and revenue accrues in tho troaF- I
ury, and if it does not como South will
go to other sections of tho Union.
When ho went to Congress ho novor
had been in ofllco, but he has dono some*
thing for State and pooplo. Hemphill
and Jobnstone never got anything for
their State when they wore there. Mr.
Latlmer claimed tho oredit for tho soil
survoy now in progress in this Stato, all
of which is in the interest of tho agri
culturists.
Lawyers aro not tho only ones who
Can benefit US in Congress. They can
make promises and lino speeches. " Are
you going to turn out a farmer and put
in one of these follows becauso ho can
make a speech V" asked Mr. Latimor.
Buncombe spceohos count for but little
in Congress. Bring tho Yankoos down
here and induco tnom to invest their
money in our cotton factories and thus
build up our waste places.
Ho spoke with great confidence and
said that all tho charges made against
him wore absolutely false. Again ho
told about tho Alliance and tho lawyers,
and said that he had boon as truo and
faithful to the Reform movement au any
ono. Ho told of his ship subsidy speech
and proved by tho Record lator on that
although It had tho dato, May 21, 1002,
printed on tho back, it was published in
tho Congressional Record, May 31, 11)02,
clearly a typographical error, and ho
also provod that on May.27 ho attempted
to make tho spcoch in tho Houso, but
tifter speaking a fow minutes was "callod
down," and obtained permission to have
it printed. Mr. Latimor dually ucciarod
that ho stood equaro on his record and
defied any man to touch it.
Mr. Henderson oxprossod tho opinion
that from his observation in this canvass
tho pcoplo are thinking as nover before.
Carefully consider tho men who aro bo
foro you, and givo each candidate a fair
inspection. Next to tho President the
Senator is the moBt important factor in
tho government. Mr. Honderson al
luded to tho campaign of 1870 whon he
joined hands with tho up country in
favoring a straightout policy that made
Hampton tho leader of iho people to re
deem South Carolina from mlsrulo and j
! corruption. Ho met tho men from Uub
I section in tho constitutional convoution,
which settled tho question of sulfrago
aud put away factional ditVerenc.es by
common consent. Not a word has he
to say against Elliott aud Latimor bo
cause thoy aro adepts in getting seeds
and appropriations Tho Republicans
will always gladly give those little
crumbs so long as tho South believes
that tho Republicans aro in power to
stay aud are wiling to buy them up in
this way. But there is something high
er to strivo for in the battles at Wash
ington. Mr. Henderson said tho distri
bution of Bood and securing of appropri
ations were of secondary importance in
tho dntioB dovolving upon a Unitod
States Sonator.
Mr. Henderson told of expansion uu
der Democratic and Hupublican admin
istrations aud spoke at length on
imperialism- " If our public men advise
us to keop quiet aud not denounco
Republicans what is to become of us V"'
said Mr. Henderson.
Mr Henderson made his usual speech
on uuity and harmony and opposition to
tho ens <unary metltods which havo
characterized State primaries Ho spoke
of the Cuban war and his sympathy aud
endorsement of the government's action
in wresting thu island from the hands of
Spain and grautiug freedom and indo
pondonco to tho Cubans, but ho was and
is unwilling that tho Philippines should
bo retained after the FilipiuoB havo paid
ub back our monoy or havo made some
satisfactory airangcmcnt. When thoy
have dono that tho government should
withdraw tho troops and turn tho island
over to the natives. Liko Johustono
and Evans, ho thinks the taiilT the
greatest monaco to tho South, and that
Democratic supremacy in 1U04 is onr
only remedy.
Mr. George Johnstono Baid that he
well remembered thirty-seven years
ago when as a soldier boy ho came to
Greenville, aud ho had been hore ofton
sinco with groat pleasure. He alluded
to tho remark of Mr. Lathncr that ho
(Johnstono) had dono nothing in Con
gross during hia two years there. At
Hurry Mr. Latiincr Baid he had coin o to
tho rescue of Congressman Scarborough,
who waa a now man there, and no man
could do anything In his first term. The
Christian courtesy oxtondod to a repre
sentative of tho Pno Deo by tho honora
ble gentleman ?from Bollon ho had
donied to hin own predecessor in Con
gress.
Shall wo do nothing to change tho
tariff policy of the government r Mr.
Latimor Bays it will accomplish nothing,
and yet he took time to proparo a speech
on the subsidy bill, which was already
killod by order of the Republicans.
Why wasto his talent on a subject where
he could not accomplish anything f His
own proposition is negatived by his
course in Congress.
After his tariff argument, Col. John?
stone spoke of tho unlawful combination
of capital, thu outcome of tho tariff laws
and the protection thrown around capi
tal by tho Bopublican administration.
He spoke of tho constitutional conven
tion, where all factionalism was etern
ally buried, and tho insertion of the suf
frage clause,; whereby tho whito men
can always honestly control the affairs
of this State.
The South In 1870 ovorthrow tho car
pot-baggors' government, and declared
to tho world that it was wrong and in
iquitous. Just bo no man in the South
can consistently uphold tho Bopublican
policy in tho Philippines. With this
introduction ho spoke, on imperialism,
expansion and the tariff, touching
lightly upon oaoh subject.
Since tho election of Abraham Lin
coln, which caused a war that made this
continent shako with tho troad of armed
mon in a great conflict, the Democratic
party has won only two national vic
tories, unless the election of Tilden la
counted. Tho figures show that thu
Domocrata represent a majority of the
whito voters of tho country, and wo
must pursuo an aggrcBsivo policy, not
acting supinely in order to got a fow
crumbs from tho table of tho Republi
cans.
South Carolina haft a taxablo property
amounting to $1 ?0,000,000, aud wo aro
Rponding more than that amount in the
Philippines ovory yoar.
Mr. Homphlll bogan by saying that if
tho audlonoe was um much in sympathy
with him as ho was with tho audionco,
then tho bond of friendship between
spoakor and hearors will be unanimous
from this day forward. Homo aro In
favor of soocls and some in favor of
speeches, but ho thinks there aro norno
things better than seed or speochos. He

plo lu Congress ought to ho a loader, and
shape policies for tho consideration of
their constituents. For sixty years the
Democrats governed this country, and
in I860 (hoy became dividod to suoh an
oxteut that the Republicans came Into
power for the first time. That is the
condition of tho Democracy at the pres
ent time, and in ordor to oust the He
publicans the Democrats of all sections
must unito togothor for victory.
Mr. flemnhlll said he differed with
others in thinking that a congressman's
duty is ended when a few appropriations
aro secured and a few measures are
defeated. Tho Democrats aro entitled
to have control of this government and
thoro is no division in sentiment in be
lieving that ono should be selected who
can stand up and demand the enforce
ment of Democratic principles.
Mr. Hemphlll devoted much of his
time discussing pensions, surprising his
audionco with the statement that there
Coughing
" 1 was fjiven up to die with
quick consumption. I then began
to use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I
improved at once, and am now in
perfect health."?Chas. E. Hart
man, Gibbstown, N. Y.
It's too risky, playing
with your cough.
The first thing you
know it will be down
deep in your lungs and
the play will be over. Be
gin early with Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral and stop
the cough.

are still two pensioners on the roll,
beneficiaries of the Revolutionary war.
Us then got over into the Philippines
and discussed imperialism. The history
of nations has proven that seldom or
novor have the conquered colonies over
been able to pay back the money expend
ed, hence ho arguod that tho sooner this
Philippine war of conquest is ended tho
better it will be for the United States.
Mr, Hemphlll made an interesting
speech under adverse circumstances, but
he held the sttontlon of the audience,
and closod with his famous mother-lnj
law joke, which Is about tho best in tho
I roportolre of the Senatorial candidates
Appeal to the I^adiea.
Oh, women,
In your hours of ease
Uncertain, coy,
And hard to please,
Why do you
Hold your drosses so,
When on tho streets
You're ploasod to go?
Say, ladles, Are you quito aware
The way von hold them
Makes folks staro
And wonder,
Hot a little, a little bit,
If thoy woro mado
So tight a fit ?
Or aro you
To thoir snngnoss blind
Becauso you can not
Seo behind,
To learn why peoplo
Grin and pauso V
Or do you
Do it "just becauso V"
If you are
Thin it's not bo bad.
When you aro somewhat
Thickly clad;
But If yon
Have a figure?why,
Words fail to toll
What mootc the oyo.
Dear woman,
Whatsoo'r it ho
That makes tho visions
Which wo seo,
Correct it,
Please, this vory day,
And hold your skirts
Some other way.
