The republican papers are not
saying much about the “full din
ner pail’’ these days.
Congressman Clayton of Alaba
ma says that Roosevelt's crusade
against the trusts is bound to help
the democrats.
The St. Louis Star says that
President Roosevelt is the greatest
enemy to trusts in America. ’
Well, perhaps; but did the Star
ever hear of Mark Hanna?
The man who believes that trusts
and combinations are formed for
| the purpose of lowering expenses
to consumers would be an easy
victim for a gold brick vendor.
In the Newport News we notice
an item about “J. I. Sturdivant,
the sawmill man of Newark.” It
will l)e a refreshing bit of intelli
gence to Mr. Sturdivant and his
friends to know that ho is in the
saw mill business. We have been
under the impression that ho was
running a drug store.
The Sharp County Record is re
spectfully informed that The
Journal cares not a snap for
its opinion of our articles on the
recent political situation in this
county. So far as we are able to
learn there is no premium on the
Record’s opinions, and we have
the satisfaction of knowing that
our home people unreservedly in
dorsed every word The Journal
said on the subject. We know
that we were right, and that is
some consolation. But the Re
cord probably never heard of that
distinguished gentleman who de
clared that he would rather be
right than be President,

Lancaster left, the vicinity about

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
“The Conquered Banner” was writ
ten shortly after Lee’s surrender and
read at a fair in Charleston, S. C.,
where it was received with great en
thusiasm. Father Ryan is the author.
Furl that Banner, for ’tis weary;
Round its staff ’tis drooping dreary;
Furl it, fold it—it is best;
For there’s not a man to wave it,
And there's not a sword tu save it,
And there's nut one left to lave it’
In the blood that heroes gave it;
And it’s foes now scorn and brave it;
Furl it, hide it—let it rest!
Take that Banner down; ’tis tattered;
Broken is its staff and shattered;
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it floated high,
Oh, ’tis hard for us to fold it,
Hard to think there’s none to hold it,
Hard that those who once unrolled it
Now must furl it with a sigh!
Furl that Banner—furl Itsadlyl
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave;
Swore that fncmans sword should nev’r
Hearts like theirs entwined dissever,
Till that flag should float forever
O'er their freedom or their grave!
Furl ill for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that Banner—it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
Of its people in their woe.
Fur, though conquered, they adore it.
Love the cold, dead hands that bore it
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it;
And oh, wildly they deplore it,
Now to furl and fold it so!
Furl that Banner! True ’tis gory,
Yet ’tis wreathed around with glory,
And ’twill live in song and story
Though its folds are in the dust!
Fur its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shull go sounding down the ages—
Furl its fold though now we must.
Furl that Banner, softly, slowly!
Treat it gently—it is holy,
For it droops above tire dead.
! Touch it not -unfold it never;
Let it droop there, furled forever—
For its people’s hopes are fled!
IS A FINE SURF BATHER?
Grace with Which He Meet* the Over
rushing Waves.
The best surf bather in the world
is a wild duck, according to a trav
eler who ha- just returned from the
seashore. “I was walking along the
shore one afternoon,” said this trav
| eler, “‘when. I s<aw a wild duck resting.
i He rose in a little while, waddled awk
! u ardiy to t he w atc r a nd began t o siv\ iin
! out gracefully to sea. There esme
■ toward him a rush cf white foam
j from a wave that had broken some
! twenty yards away. He flung himself
breast foremost into that swirl, get
j ting through it as finely as a good
| football man gets through a rush line,
! Next he met a big. lazy swell. This
he floated over buoyantly. But now
some five yards in front of him a pow
erful wave broke and there c-ameseeth-.
ing in a fierce whirlpool of froth. The
wild bird waited till the strong rush
of foam wiasialmost on him. and then,
like any other wise bather, he dived,
not to emerge until the water was
calm again and the danger past. A
moment later a great wave stood
arched, about to break in front of
him, and with a quick movement of
the wings he shot up through the thin
curve of its overhanging crest. He
was invincible, for he knew bathing
from alpha to omega. Out and out he
floated, and at last the soft twilight
enveloped him.”-—Chicago Chronicle.

Prof. (t. W. Hough, head of the
department of astronomy of
Northwestern University, in a re

summer obsetrations from the

serts this as a probability based
on recent discoveries, and adds
that, of course, it may never be
established positively
The conclusion includes the ac
ceptance of the theory of evolu
tion and the statements of lead

ditions of Marsaie the same as of
the earth. The possibility of
Venus and Mercury being inhabi
