BUT THEY DIDN’T. Once a gray and guileless farmer To the wicked Bowery came, And he met a friendly stranger, Who accosted him by name, Treating him to wine and whisky Till his head began to swim;• For the stranger had a gold briek ' Which he meant to sell to him. But he didn't. Many months a faithful lover Wooed a fair coquette; but 10l When at last he popped the question Cruelly she answered no, “But the next time he proposes,’’ Said this maiden very vain, “I will tell him yes, for surely He will plead his cause again." But he didn't. There was, too, a lovely heiress. With a dower of shining gold, And a noble Count she wedded, With a ruined castle old; And she thought as she went sailing O'er the ocean at his side, She would dwell in endless rapture As his proud and happy bride. But she didn't. 'Twas a knowing chap who purchased Quite a lot of gilt-edged shares, An'd who thought to cut a figure Muth the Wall street bulls aud bears, - And who reckoned on an auto And a splendid country seat; For he planned to make n million From a promised tise in wheat. But he didn't. Came a youth in yachting flannels To a cottage by the sea. Where the summer girls were boarding. “I'iujhe.only male.” said he; “All tiiose sweet and pretty creatures. Gazing on my manly charms, Will be straightway captivated And will fall into my arms,” But they didn't. . Oh, the book we sought to publish. And the house we hoped to build, And the friend we ought to visit, And the place we should have filled! There’s a score of angels weeping In the far celestial blue, While a record they are keeping Of the things we tried to do, But we didn't. —Leslie's Weekl;

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. From our Special Correspondent : Senator Aldrich says that there will be three weeks more of debate on the rate bill and that it will then be passed with a rather broad court review provision that will be acceptable to the House. Senator Aldrich is a very good judge of pending legislation and h’e may be right There is a rumor, however, that the Senate is going to put the rate bill into form that will be acceptable to the House for the purpose of holding it up at the last moment till it can get consideration for a ship subsidy bill. This is of course a Senate provision for the House is not in the frame of mind to consider subsidy at this session. Also the Speaker has declared himself against it on several occasions, almost as much against it as he is against tariff revision. But it is said that the friends of subsidy have won the Speaker over to their way of thinking and that his influence will be used to get favorable consideration for the measure. Though it is a question whether even the almost all powerful influence of the Speaker could force a bill of that sort through just at this juncture. However, there is back of that still another story, that is that Uncle Joe figures on posing hs the dark horse of the next nomination convention and while he is not particularly keen about the fate of the rate bill he wants to make friends unto himself of all the White House influence he can muster before the fateful day arrives. t t t

The Keep Commission are a canny lot of boys. They are all of them young, as seasoned politicians ge, and all of them are dose personal friends of the President. He appointed them on this pet commission simply because he knew that they were honest young men and he thinks that any man who is honest and willing can do as many different things and do them well as he can himself. Now Keep, Hitchcock, Pincbot, et al are by no means as versatile as the President, though they are all of them honest, well intentioned young men. But they have shown themselves to be crafty to a degree. Everyone has heard of the famous Keep Commission, but not everyone tjas heard of the sub-committees that are doing the work. The Commission goes into a department that it. wants to investigate and selects a sub-com-mittee from among the bureau chiefs and beads of divisions who already have as much as they can canveniently do, and makes them do the actual work of investigating. This sub-committee then reports to the Commission after it has spent a month or two working after office hours getting up the data, and the Commission puts out the gist of the sub-committee’s report as its findings. Yes, it is a beautiful scheme and it makes the Keep Commission look mighty erudite when one reads its report. But the funniest thing the com-

mission has done yet was its report on the Government Printing Office. Now this office is about as much in need of reform as oouid be well imagined. But the interesting thing was that the Keep Commission printed its report on the need of economy in the most wasteful volume that ever came off the government presses. It selected a folio page* with a quarter wide margin, which as any printer will testify is about as wastefuLa form of composition as could oe devised. The report was on the most expensive brand of government paper, bar only that on which gold certificates are printed, and the binding was in keeping with the rest of the report. There was an edition of 20,000 copies, not six of which will be read, run off. And altogether the report on Economy was itself about the most striking object lesson in the need of economy that has ever come out of the government Printing Office. + t + It is said that a compromise has been reached on the statehood bill. Of course it will not be known just how .nearly correct this is till the bill comes out of conference. But it is said that the conferees will report a bill providing for joint statehood for the four territories involved with the Foraker amendment added, giving the territories of Arizona and New Mexico the right to vote on the adoption of the bill as regards themselves so that a majority against that section of the measure in either of the two territories will be enough to defeat it. This means of course that the House lays down its hand to the Senate so far as the Arizona, New Mexico end of the Hamilton bill is concerned for there is not one chance in ten that the bill could be carried by a referendum vote t t t

A plan of interest to all cotton growing and cotton milling sections of the country has been devised by the Department of Commerce and Labor. It has been decided to push our cotton goods trade in the Orient for all it is worth and to successfully compete in that part of the world, the manufacturer must know what the market requires One cannot sell China the same goods that go in the United States. They have their own patterns and colors and sizes of material. 111 . Europe buys cotton in this country, weaves it into prints and sells it in China, $200,000,000 worth annually, where we sell $30,000,000 But the Department of Commerce and Labor has eent to China and gotten a lot of the standard grades and patterns of cotton and is arranging to send them out in the form of card libraries. There will be a sample of the cloth, a photograph of the pattern and a technical description of the goods. About a hundred sets of eighty different cards each are being prepared and they will .be sent out to all of the milling centers. As therft are not enough to go round they will be returned at the end of a certain time to the department and sent out to fresh towns The sets of cards can be had by chambers of commerce on application.

The New Jersey deer, which have enjoyed their freedom so long, have been branded, a nuisance by the farmers in many parts of tbe state, who are trying to have the legislature place them under the ban again. The farmers not only fear for their crops, but are apprehensive for their own safety and feel that it is about time to call a halt The old saying, “Give him an Inch and he’ll take a yard,” Is applicable to the New Jersey situation, and the rural residents are really beginning to fear that they will soon be crowded out As a matter of fact, the deer have apparently realized their legal freedom and have taken the state by storm. With such a law in existence tbe sportsmen will also lie confronted with a situation as far away from real deer shooting as Peking is from Chicago. It won’t lie a case of going out on a long hunt for a big buck. The gunner must fit himself for another kind of campaign, for the animals have become so tame that they do not know when to run. The trouble between the farmers and the deer is best told by the farmers. When they can’t make fences too high for them to Jump and when they block tbe roadway on a dark night and butt the pedestrian who may happen along or stop a railroad train by blockading the tracks, the farmers feel that It Is about time to do something. • Eastern Race Datea. The eastern racing season of 1906 will cover a period of 228 days, beginning at the Washington track on March 26 and closing at the same place on Dec. 1. At the meeting of the Jockey club stewards the dates were apportioned practically the same as a year ago so far as the tracks in tbe vicinity of New York are concerned, but the Buffalo traqk was left out of the calculations. An innovation Is that there will be two spring meetings at Belmont park and two at Gravesend. The Empire track was Ignored by the stewards, and ft is believed that Janies Butler will go Into the court with the matter. It was ordered that all valets for Jockeys wear uniforms and arm numbers and be under the direct supervision of Robert Pinkerton. Gans and Britt. Joe Gans, the lightweight and welterweight champion, has been practically matched to fight Jimmy Britt twenty rounds In San Francisco. Gans agreed to the terms offered by Jimmy Coffroth, which will require Gans to weigh in at 133 pounds at 6 o’clock. Gans also will fight Mike Sullivan, provided Sullivan weighs 135 pounds at 6 o’clock..

Epilepsy Fits St Vitus Dance Are nerve diseases, and unless checked, lead to destruction of both, mind and body. The weak, shattered nerves must have something to strengthen and Build them back to health. Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine is a remarkable nerve tonic and stimulant. <lt strengthens the ' nerves, relieves the nervous strain,, and influences refreshing body-building sleep and rest. Persistent use seldom fails to relieve these afflictions. "I was taken with epileptic fits; had eleven in less than 13 hours. My father sent for our family physician, but he could do very little for me, ana ■ I grew worse every day. and at last they had three doctors with me, and I still got worse. My father heard of Dr. Miles’ medicines and bought a bottle of Nervine and a box of Nerve and Liver Pills. I had taken only afew doses until I began to feel better. I took 12 bottles, and it cured mo sound and Well. It has been worth all the world to me. I recommend it wherever I go. You may use this aa a life-long testimonial to the merits of your medicine, for I am enjoying the best of health, and feel that my life and health is due to this wonderful medicine.”' LEVY WILLIAMS, .
