The Southern Mocking-Bird.
O, sweetest minstrel of the Southern clime,
What rapturous harmony is thine!
Soaring above the orb-lit sphere sublime,
With libitations most divine,
As if thy soul its ecstasies would prolong,
'1 o pour upon the world a flood of song.
1 he dial iced rose, beside your crystal spring,
Drinks deep thy votive notes at morn*
As. poised on Heaven's bright, ethereal wing,
Each charmed scene thou li.ist adorn;
While Phcebus warm, emits his fervent ray,
And wakes thy- sweet premeditated lay.
The merry thrush doth seek a silent bower, 4
Nor lists thy envied glad refrain,
The red-bird hides beneath the blushing flown ;
And tuft-lark thrills his notes in vain,
l>;it heedless still thy joylul soul doth rise;
Thy burning gems ascend the purple skies.
Like nectar from the incense breathing rose,
Or violets breast at crimson dawn,
Tliv tranced music ever lives and Hows,
While summer's golden chariots, drawn
i o paint the woods and dewy atmosphere,
1 liy song returns with each returning year.

Perhaps one of Secretary Gage's
reasons for not accompanying the

possibility of putting a guage on

The U. S. now ranks third in the
export of coal, Germany being sec-
ond and Great Bntimi first. In

than 2,000,000 tons, while for llie
fiscal year ending June :i0, next, it

the world, having within the last

Where there's smoke there's apt

alarm at the steady growth of senti-

II the tone of the press represents
public sentiment, and it usually
does, the second administration of
President McKinley will be known
in history as our most marked era
of political good feeling. Even the
rankest partisan editors are express-
ing wishes that the President's trip
to the Pacific coast will be enjoya-
ble to him, and the preparations for
his reception all along the route are
^ being participated in by men of all
political parties. This is as it
should be, and the longer it contin-
ues the better it will be for the
country,
Chairman Agnew of the Virginia
republican State committee predicts
that the proposed disfranchisement

cratic boomerang, and will make

national issues.
THE BITERS BIT.
Some students fixed up a ghost
and placed it on the staircase of a
country newspaper office the other
night, and then retired and awaited
developeroents. The editor came,
and didn't gel frightened. He dis-
robed it, and now wears a five dol-
lar pair of trousers, a two dollar
vest, a nine dollar pair of boots and
a five dollar hat, while one of the
students goes about without a vest,
and another roams through the least
trequented streets wearing a very
ancient pair of inexpressibles, an
old "deerstalker" hat and well worn
shoes.—Ex.

PRESS OFFICE,
Kiel. Okla.
The fact that the U. S. govern-
ment now osvns gold to a greater
value than was ever owned by any
government on earth, of which
there is any trustworthy record,
tells the story of our great prosperi-
ty in a language that can be read
by the whole world. That this
gold was accumulated under laws
passed by a republican Congress
and administered by a republican
administration tells a story that will
not be forgotten by the voters ol
this country for a generation to
come, if it ever is. The party that
does this is the party to keep ii\
power.
