These died In wart they died a cruel dentil Hy maddened horses trampled to thru round; While boldly flVhtlnit, with Impatient soul. Death found them, and wlthinlenco wrapped thrm round. They riled In war and no familiar hand Clasped theirs in death; a restless, fluritinc flood Of soldiers overwhelmed them, and they sank To death in heat and dust and wounds ami blood. They died, nnd of their ttnllantry and faith. Their bravery and valonr what remains? And la the conquest worth the widow's tears? And are the victories such certain galna? Nay, not the victories; but sec, they raise A monument of love that shall be. read When we and all onr ae la past and gone, And wives and mothers havo rejoined their dead.

Three Yonng Men Toss I'p for the Right to Court a tJlil. A wedding is nmumnrwl between two well known young people of Dos Moines. Thero is nu intorpiding story contieeU'tl with the event, and it would bo unfair to call names. Four years npo the prospociive brlilo. then quite young, was receiving the at tention of throe gentlemen. They, too, wero young;, little more than boys, und just rutoring upon tho dilTcrotit linos of work which they lind adopted for lifp. Two of them, indeed, wero still stu dents. Mutters run along without much clituigo with tho four for Rome time. They each understood the situation. Nothing in tho girl's; manner indicated nny preforonoo. Tho thvoo boys were the best of friends, although the situa tion was such as to strain their relations u little. Finally the three mot one day by nrri lent. In some, way the young ludy'e name was. brought up, and after con sideration it was decided to match pen nies to see who should withdraw from the contest. It was stipulated that tho winner should be in honor bound to de vote himself exclusively to the young; lady in the future, nnd to wiu her hand if Missil)le. The losers from that moment were to withdraw from the race com pU'U'ly. Tho losers were further pledged to net as guardian brothers to the young lady and see that the winner carried on no flirtations with other girls. The contracts were carried out to the letter, and the girl was never told why two of her admirers so suddenly retired. And so, after these years, she is at Inst to liecome the wife of him whom luck favored in a gnme of chance. Both are still young Rnd the gentleman is prosier iug in business. Of the losers in the contest, one adopted a trade and is married. The other en tered upon a professional career. He is unmarried and his nnme would be recog nized, were it mentioned, all over the Western city. Des Moines Leader. American Immigration Agents In Italy. The agents of the steamship lines cover Italy as the locusts covered Egypt They paint the charms of big wages in the United States; they often induce the poor peasant to sell his cow ond move on the United States. In this business the commission money of clouds of emigraut agents is the chief inspiration. The ship would starve without a .steerage list ; there is a large profit in handling large numbers, and thousands of drummers for emigrants swarm over Italy, and their fruit is in the 6,000 Italians who, in one week of the recent spring, cut loose from the life of the Italian peasantry to try chances in the United States. Man)-more applied in tho spring of 1800 than the bhips could earn'. There is a factor in Italian emigration which is larger and more important than perhaps any other European factor of its class. I nlludfl to the devotion of nation ality. Tho Irishman loves Ireland, the Englishman loves England, nnd thoOer mun loves Germany, but more intense than nny of these loyalties is the devotion of the Italian to his ancient and now United States. This sentiment is as pro found among the peasantry as among any class, nnil nothing but the most pressing poverty would drive the Italian people in such numliers from their native hind. Hence, when they have made a few dol lars in the United States beyond the jires fnt wants they hasten to their old homes. They love tospend their savings iu Italy ; it seems to them almost n sacrilegu to spend them elsewhere. As a Chinaman's bones can never rest or his spirit be free until his mortal remains are celestially interred, m nu Italian peasaut's dollars seem to bring him real peace only when they are spent in the place whero ho was lxim. The returning legions amazn tho homo people of Italy with their financial resources ; for men who never hud a dol lar look on $,"! as a rich reserve, and $100 is wealth. These returned emigrants i'.ourish nbout their native Italian towns nud set their neighborhoods uflumo with a desire to see tho land where even the shovel nud the pick are transformed into gold. Consul Dingley's report from tho Naples Consulate.. Sympathetic. Ilor.tess I don't see how anyone can speak well of those horrid Indians. I can never forget how they niude several of my ancestors suffer at the stake, Mr. Grampus (struggling with an al leged sirloin) I cun assure you, madam, they have my profoundest sympathy. Boston Courier. Dr. David Starr Jordan, president elect of the Loliiud Stanford University, is an athlete and sportsman, as well as a scholar and parson.
