Show SmoKe From the WeeKJy Tipe. PENURY'S PLEA. As -moonlit seas that gleam and dance Was my fair Abdah's scornful glance When last we met on Life's uncertain shore; Nor could I loveheart's wratch beguile Nor woo from those dear eyes one smile That moved me so in happier days of yore. As those dark orbs in iie gleamed ' An incensed goddess Abdah Beemed Athene wrathful of the Trojan host; And while when Abdah beamed on me I breathed in Love's wild, rhapsody I fear when wrathful so I loved her most. But dear one, fairest, heart divine Fiom that deep soul once wholly mine Smile yet again on me in playful guise; On shrines of wildly known desire Can Lucre kindle such a fire, And shadow my two destinies, your eyes? For if between the gems that shine In those dear eyes, 'twere ever mine To choose or harbor all wealth's glittering store; In Memory's ermine robes I'd set My Abdah's smile, fair coronet, Loved jewel there to shine forevermore. While Love's eternal fires burn I'll love thee, Abdah dear. O turn Once more before the halcyon days are flown; Once more your dear hand lay in mine We're off, O, Abdah-heart divine, We'll reap the giddy harvest where we've sown. 5 tv t2& That most enterprising and inventive of journalists, jour-nalists, Mr. William Hearst, will make his debut as a congressional luminary at Washington with much pomp and sound and circumstance. Everyone Every-one who has watched this young American's spectacular spec-tacular 'and erratic career will cheer him on. His apartments at the capital, if reports be true, will make the richly caparisoned envions of a gilded Oriental look like a tent. There William will entertain en-tertain with great elaborateness and lavishness. In fact he will go athwart the sky of the nation'b Mecca like a newly evolved cluster, of constellations constella-tions and for a while at last all eyes will be looking look-ing intently Hearst-ward. Men like Hearst are Continued on page 9 ) wmmmmmmmmmmmmmh iwmmmmmwmmmmmmmmm I S'moKe form the WccKty TipcCont. fashioned for fame, and it is easy to imagine that within the next year or two the man who launched yellow journalism and obliterated from the news- I "paper all its antequated forms, Will have developed into an astoundingly conspicuous national figure. & & & During his journeyings amid the splendors of the far Easf, Hon. T. Kearns has acquired some very polished manners or etyket, as Tom would say. The Senator's latest acquirement in this line has caused a distinct sensation among the socialy punctilious of late. While out driving in the evenings amid the refreshing shadows of tiid East drive with Mrs. Kearns, the Senator has been observed to read newspaper after newspaper with great assiduity, with an entire and haughty dis regard of the scenery or his travelling companion. This ought to become a controlling fad with Secretary Sec-retary Hay, Mark Hanna and Mr. Kearns' other 'warm personal friends" when he returns to Washington. In fact, we can safely predict that when the Senator flashes this stunt on the Wash ington statesmen, Pennsylvania avenue will be so choked with carriages carrying diplomats reading newspapers that the landscape will look like a snow storm. tJ5 & Several of the local unions are in open revolt againstthe intriguing of the Walking Delegate and have withdrawn from the trades council. This is a wise maneuver on the part of the laboring men, as they have for sorife time been at the merciless mer-ciless dictation of a perambulating human pest. ' With this Walking Iniquity retired to a. well deserved de-served obscurity, there will probably be an early and amicable settlement of the strike. The contractors con-tractors from the beginning have been willing to come to an adjustment with the men. But they have wisely and justly refused to hold any converse con-verse or parlance with the Walking Renegade. tC & The protest against the closing of the pools at the Agricultural park races shows that nothing will so incense the public as any abridgement of the great American prerogative of losing money. Judging by the list of names of the men who are noted as probable successors of the Pope, it would seem judicious to make the appointment at as early a date as possible, as it will take us at least another year to master the pronunciation of the pontifical nomenclature.
