"IlEOAUSK OF HEll"
I do not think, bocauBe sho dled,
Tho happy world has grown less fair,
But rather all things, glorified,
A deeper, holler beauty wear.
The soinbro gold of ovening pales
In sadder splendor whore sho sleeps,
A softer, minor music walls
In ovory wandering wind that sweeps
Great Naturo's many-chorded lyre,
, And wakes tho gusty grief that thrills,
With some divine, rosponslvo fire
Tho hoary Harpers of tho Hills
Tho mighty-shafted minstrel pines,
That chant, when morning mists .nro curled
Like Incense on yon mountain shrines,
Tho pean of a waking world.
A Bwlft and stran'go Intelligence
ThrlllB through tho many-peopled woods,
When somo vaguo Joy, I know not whence,
Breathes through their leafy sokltudos;
Through flceco and fold of gossamer gold,
Tho dawns with newer beauty break,
And softor sunsot mists aro rolled
About tho hills, for her sweet sake.
Tho roso unfolds a richer hue,
Tho Illy lifts a Balntllor fnco,
Tho Bklos bend down a dcopor blue
Abovo hor liallowcd resting place.
Tho breeze moansthrough tho restless leaves
A deoper muBlc ovormoro,
And Bobs Its heart out 'gainst tho atone
That guards hor darkoned chnmbor door!

SENATOR MORGAN'S SUCCESSOR.
""Governor Comor, of Alabama, It was announced ns soon ns tho pro
prieties would pormlt It, will appoint tho. Ilonormablo John II. Bank
hond to fllb out tho unexpired torm of United States Sonntor John Tylor
Morgan, created by bin death last wookjt
A provlouHly held primary election by tho omocrntlc votors of that
Btato had oxprosscd a nroforonco with regard to tho "altornnto senator
ship" a predisposition to tho iinmlng or Bankhcad In tho ovont of tho
ilcntli of either Sonator Morgan or of Senator Potttis
Governor Comor regards tho oxprosslon of thnt primary ob binding
only as tho chief oxocutlvo of tho stato In tho matter of a tomporary ap
pointment but In no aonso binding on the leglslnturo itsolf.
In othor words, Governor Comor wants to boo WHETHER OR NOT THE
DUTiY-CONSTITUTHI) LEGISLATURE WILL 1)0 ITS DUTY UNDER
THE STATE CONSTITUTION its duty, as ho Interprets It.
In the ovont of Its rofuaal or Its falmro to oloct n United States sonator
or to provldo for a primary election by tho Alabama electorate all partlos
Included ho will iiHk tho authorltlosof tho Democratic party to ordor n
primary that tho peoplo may In this wny express their cholco of a man
to succeed Sonator Morgan,
It la anuouucol for him that ho lnlonds to sorvo out his torm ns gov
ernor and not bo a cnndldato for tho United States sonato himself .
All this docH not, however, put tho Honorab'o B. B. Comor out of tho
lino of election to tho United Stntos sonnto.
Thuro Is still anothor vacancy that might occur thoro nnd surely tho
presonl governor of Alnhumn hns no Idoa thot ho could ovor reclaim or
recover tho ssat In tho national houso of representatives wrested from
him not ho many years ago by that arch cavallor, patriot nnd big-navy
builder, tho Honorablo Richmond PonrBon Hobson, tho "IIKHO OF SAN
TIAGO," AND THE ACHIEVE!! OF CERTAIN OSCULATOHY VAMK
NOT ICNTIHELY DISASSOCIATED FROM 'I'll EPEMININE WORSHIP
OF HintOES OF THE RIGHT AGE AND SORT.
If Govornor Comer has any woll-doflnod, any roally "gnawing" ambi
tion to lot tho "mantlo-ploce" of Sonator Morgan or of Senator Pottus
fall onto him, ho would host lot It bo known oarly and go out promptly
to lul'.d himself up Into tho "gnmo."
A Fodoral law-mnkor of long Htandlng nnd good roputatlon who can bo

GOLD OUIIK FOR FINANCIAL INKIUlltiTV.
On tho Bngdnd Railway Line.
Thcso reflections aro forced on my
mind by looking at the country and
seeing tho shape of tho ground. Yet
I had no intention just now of touch
ing upon railway questions. I want
to give an idea of what this land
looks like. This morning, from five
to eight, from Esklshehir .to tho
neighborhood of Kutahla, I was
passing through a highland valloy
like that on tho railway to Oban,
and through cloud and rain that
would have seemed there in their
place. Then camo hours of an up
land wheat country, whore tho plow
mnn and tho sower woro busy, and
whoro now and thon wero glimpses
of ancient rock dwellings, and In tho
distance of tombs that wero ancient
history to Herodotus. Tho horizon
was bounded by purplo hills, tholr
summits patched with tho remnants
of tho winter snow. It was a vulo
that recalled that of th'o Fulda, In
Central Germany, except for tho ab
sence hero of trees and tho scarcity
of population. Whon thoro is a vil
lage It Is of the Punjab typo, ono
storeyed cottages or huts of sun
dried mud, with flat roofs. But tho
villages nro fow and far between,
as aro tho towns. From Esklshehir
to horo thoro nro Kutahla (22,000
Inhabitants), prettily perched on the
side of a hill n fow milos from the
line; Knrahlssar (33,000), at tlio
foot of a great rango with a hugo
rock llko that of Dumbarton citadel
crowned, but far higher and finer;
Chni (OOOO)and Akshohr (20,000),
lying at tho foot of tho ravines run
ning down from' tho magnificent
rango of tho Sultttn Dagh; Ilgln, a
lltllo town near tho lako or marsh of
tho samo narao; and Konla Itsolf
that makes, if Eskishohlr bo in
cluded, seven towns In three hundred
milos.
From Karahl3sar tho lino follows
a wldo river, tho Caystor, now In
flood, with a spacious volley. Tho
valloy sooms. to grow corn, but tho
river Tuns through a small marsh
Into tho Lake of Akshohr, and thoro
ovaporatcs. After that tho ground
boglns to bo salty; tho banks of tho
Lake of Ilgln aro whlto with salt;
and thon tho lino skirts tho southorn
odgo of a plain that otrctchca out of
Bight toward tho north. Evon hero
thoro was an occasional strip of
plowed land, nnd abundanos of sheep
and cattlo, and at tho fow ra"wny
Htatlons I saw largo quantities" of
whont In sacks and In heaps.
It Booms strnngo that this country
! not ovorrun with tourists. Tho
sconory hn3 all tho chnrm that comes
of finely shaped hills and spnclous
valloys; It has tho bright light of its
southorn cllmo, tho clear freBh nir
of Its olovatlon, and tho Inoxhaust

population ,to say nothing of tho

deal of waste, but that waste could
be much better disposed of. Tho
rats aro a heavy drain on tho profits
of agrculture, and tins loss they
cause Is by no means confined to
food.
Tho Agricultural Department tolls
us that rats destroy eggs and young
poultry, pigeons, game birds and
wild song birds. Thoy havo beon
known to kill young rabbits, pigs
and lambs, and oven to attack chil

young elephants because rats gnaw

wounds. Thoy onter stores and
warehouses and destroy dry goods

silks as wll bb kid gloves and

According to government statistics

though less than six months havo

Pretending to Like It.
It requires a sunny disposition nnd n
philosophical turn of mind for a man
to smllo when ho la caught out la a
rainstorm with n new suit of clothes
and a straw hat and to say that ho la
glad becauso tho crops nro needing
rain.
Men who aro not gifted with tho
sort of n disposition that a woman
likes to havo about the bouse aro apt
to say things that tho neighbors would
not llko to havo their little boys hear
and to express the opinion that tho
country could get ulotig very nicely
without any crops for a rew years.
It is a great strain on the Juut to bo
caught out thnt way, particularly If

mended very highly either for Improv
