An Important Speech.
ON Tl'KSDAY next the Junior
senator from Indiana, Mr.
Itevcildgp, will ndelress the
senate upon the resolution,
introduced bv him, uMiunlng the ne
cessity and the perrmr.mcy of Amer
Icin sovereignty over the Philippines.
Theie is a tiaditlon In the senate that
a jnung member must not make a
speech upon the senate lloor during
the llrst year of bis first term; but
having passed several months In per
sonal study of the conditions in Luzon
and gathered valuable Information at
Hist hand, Mr. Bevcrldge, upon emi
nent aehioe, has decided to ignore
this rule.
The' speech which he hes prepared
for delivery Ins, we are Informed,
been carefully thought out nnd
has been submitted to the presi
dent, the secretary of state, the secre
laiy of wai and other persons In whose
Judgment theie Is gencial confidence;
and In a sense thciefoie, It will be an
olllcial dellve lance, (if Mr. l.ever

the higher foims of oratory the public
has lie-u d a good deal. He has the
Inborn gift which applies eloeiuence

probiblv iecal whether or not he has
also the mental power to grasp tho
essoin Ills of a practical situation and

It appeals to bionl-minded citizens

While the society does not expect to
dissuade many women fiom the use of

dently believed that the battle will
be won.
The great tiouble heretofore has bepn
that nmong the peasantiv of Huiopj

and the elforts whl'h lmw been madj
by American expoi ting 'lnteii sts to
ills ibuso their minds hive been upon
toi small n scale, to show up In prac
tical results. Moreover, the agrarian
interests In Kurope have donp their
best to keep up the prejudice, hoping
thus to wntd off American competi
tion. It would seem that ;i lime must come
when the nuttltlve value, cheapness1
nnd availability of com would force
its acceptance in Kurope, especially In
view nf tho recurring food famines
there, lntenlflpd ns they must be by
the continual Increase In population,
and the steartv growth of the standln

Some one has been unkind enough
to call attention to tho fact that It will
be lather dltllcult for the Uoers to pass
thioitgh the Ittltlsh Hues and make
use of tho hospital ship which Phila
delphia threatens to send to their aid.
In this uge ot Intelligence It seems a
shame that Philadelphia cannot be al

occasional outburst without Interruption.

CURRENT VERSE.
The Creed of tho Lion.
The creed ot the lion Is us old as tho
Hun, aiid us joung us the cub tint
plas
With the tussclert Jaw and the sharpened
i law and thu tall of the mettled
maze.
The eieed of the Hon is to feed the lion
and tho Jungle knows his roar,
And it knows the glare of thu es tint
Haiti when thu lips uru thiist lor
Bore!
The creed of the Hon Is good for tho
Hon, and that's ns It ought to be;
Kor under the law ot tho Jaw and th.
paw and the ball nnd the Jungle ticu
The lion must lho and tho Hon must
hac and the Jungle knows his right,
And it knows the cry when the whelps
defy the creed nnd the law of might.
The creed of the Hon Is the will of the
lion, and luck of the will tho claw;
And back of tho paw and the Jungle law
thu thiist lor Mire In the Jaw.
Tor what is a king If ho be not a king?
and strange if it should befall
That undet the swlnsr of tho law of the
king there camo not death ut all!
There came not diikncs unto those
little and woik and light
Who bond their knee at the Jungle tree
and nsk for the law of right;
birn It and ask it Hist, then go, out on
the trail to til Ike
Pools to hae thought that their service
had bought tho freedom of llko for
like!
The cued of tho Hon Is ns old as tho
lion, and as joupg as jesterday
To ghe tho bast that the law will glv
nnd take the west away!
Aa old as the Hon, but as blind as the
cub that follows tho trail of year.'.
And thinks It Is free till It eomo'lo tho
tree of Common nnd King and
I'ceis!

And luscious fruits and golden grain

Frederick Saunders, In New York Sun,
A Popular Case.
Sweet Cupid sat on a messy bank, j
With a tear In Ids round, blue ee,
His wings who diaggled with silver dow,
And his quh er mid bow Hung by,
The but tei Hies canio fiom tho garden
mar
And pel chert on his dimple toes,
And a honebeu sipped at his dimple dp,
And thought It an opening lose,
"Not an artuw went to Its mark today,
1 wasted them all," ho slchcrt.
"My wings and my curls too well they
know.
So the men and tho maidens hide,
Jlv mother must clip my pinions close,
And must hi ild my looks of gold.
And I'll honow the fiock of a damsel
lull.
Jlv toi-rnto limbs to fold."
So now no mote In the flowery field
Oi the woods whf ic the thrushes sing
bo we hoar the pitter of naked feet,
Or the sweep of nn airy wing,
lie has stolen the gown of a pretty girl,
And lnr hat with Its (hooping plume,
And a cluster of vehcty inlets blue
Prom his breast to hlicd perfume.
Ho his donned her cll with its hor
de red edge.
And her glocs of tho palest gray,
And hides his bow In her Huffy fan
before he goes out to slay.
Ho has i lipped his wings and braided n!s
curls,
but beware of his rouglsh ccs,
I 'or sly lltln Cupid Is still tho bame,
In splto of Ids new disguise.

A Stolen Kiss.
The hammock hung between tho trees,
The maiden fair
bay in It with her ojillds closed
He saw her theie.
With wildly beating heart he stolo
lip to her side
And softly to Ik r ripe, red lips
His own ho applied,
He kissed her kissed tho gentle maid,
Ho fair, so sw ei t,
And with n tumult In his breust
beat a retreat.
At length sho slowly straightened up,
With open eyes;
"Ho took hut one," t-he said and sighed
A lot of sighs.
