THE PINE HURST OUTLOOK. dirt, who came here with hh wife for rest and to enhale the ozone of the beautiful pines. He attempted to -prove that two of the witnesses had robbed Mr. Tufts' lien yard, as the feathers in a hat sold were the same ones he saw them luive in their hands coming from that direction, lie appeared very innocent and his an swers were quick and snappy. The only witness for the defense was the wife of the defendant, who tried hard to prove that he was innocent, and that a conspir acy had been formed by the counsel for the state and others to obtain money from the prisoner who was known to be one of the wealthiest citizens of New York. She felt convinced that such was the case from the fact that the counsel for the state had offered to quash the case against the prisoner if she would pay him $10,000. This attempt at bribery was made directly to her, and she refused to consider it, as she believed the prison er innocent of the charges against him. The testimony of witnesses being fur nished, the state attorney, Mr. Rogers, made a very powerful and. eloquent plea to the jury (and audience) repudiating the charge that he had offered to free the prisoner for .$10,000, and claimed that his reputation for honesty extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific and was sufficient proof that he never had made the offer. He claimed that his witnesses had given sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner on every count of the indictment, and had no doubt that the jury would so de cide. Some of those present thought the Pilgrim must have had recent acquaint ance with the blarney stone. Counsel for the defense denied everything the other side had said ; thought the government witnesses were no good and that no case had been made against his client, lie advised the jury to turn the prisoner loose. The judge gave a very able summing up of the case, told the jury the penalty on each count, if they found the prisoner guilty, and ordered them to retire and bring in their verdict. The jury returned in a short time and reported through the foreman, Mr. Peck, that they found the prisoner guilty on every count, and rec ommended that he be given thirty-nine lashes on his bare back, have his ears cut off and then be hung by the neck until dead, as provided in the code of North Carolina, edition of 17G4. The jury fur ther recommended that sentence be sus pended if the prisoner provide sufficient peanuts to satisfy the guests at the "Jierk shire" within twenty days, and the judge turned the prisoner loose without bond. A large quantitv of peanuts was fur nished the next day. Thus was justice tempered by mercy or peanuts. A Bowling Tournament.

The Outlook's poet, who was sup- nosed to be safely chained up and grind ing out odes to "Ue.utlful Spring," man aged to escape last Tuesday evening and attended a valentine party that was held in the "Berkshire" parlors under the auspices of Mrs. Joseph K. Whipple, Mrs. Charles Stearns and Miss Stearns. The following effusion is his account of the evening's festivities: On Tuesday eve St. Valentine's day The guests who at the Berkshire stay Had a valentine party a gath'rtng gay And all enjoyed it, so they say. Each guest was pressed to take a part And tell the woes of a burdened heart; And the o It told tale was told again By beauteous maid and love-lorn swain. A box was found dimensions large To hold the missives sweet in charge, And in it placed oh, what a crop Of love-sick tales ! But, there, we'll stop ! The guests then gathered in the hall, In quick response unto the call, And from the box each drew a note That some admiring lover wrote. Each note in turn was read aloud To edify the jolly crowd. None tried in mist'ry to enshroud The messages that made them promt. And now, my friends, tell if you may Suggest, if possible, I pray A jollier or better way To celebrate the good Saint's day. If all the maids there stood in a line, Where I could see their bright eyes 6hlne, I'd say to one to all, in tine 'Oh, won't you be my Valentine?' TritPKXTISK Takiieki,. The following poems, many of them original, were among the valentines sent : To tell thee of my lasting love I send this to thee, dear. To say that throughout all my life I've ne'er found maid so queer drear peer Of course, I've ne'er found maid thy peer. I love to gaze into thine eyes, Those windows of thy soul, So full of tender meaning, Love, Like to a buttered roll ton of coal distant goal To be sure, They are my distant goal. I love to clasp thy little hand, I cannot let it fall; Your shapely, tender little arm Is like a parasol worsted shawl musket ball garden wall Just what your little arm is like, I cannot now recall. I love the music, of thy voice, I'd listen to it long, I often think its gentle tones Are like a dinner gong something wrong angel's song Yes, yes, Are like an angel's song. Thy wavy hair, thy cherry lips, Thy merry, silvery laugh ; But more than all, thy graceful form, 'Tis like a thin giraffe brlndle calf turnlng'lathe You know just what I want to say, 1 can't express it half. And so I send these verses to you, Love, I hope that they will take; For if you should accept my suit I'd have a stomach ache griddle cake Irish wake garter snake I fear that I can rhyme no more, I'll stop it for your sake. A letter bearing a heart pierced by Cupid's arrow, had the following: Cupid's arrow has struck my heart How on earth shall I catch the dart? I must do it with main and might, Or I'll be an old maid before it's right. Yours in love, SAMANTHA K MO I IT. An original something I must write, But how shall I begin? For there is nothing original in me Except original sin. But I must write, and write it now, Without a moment's warning; It is so cold we'll all freeze up Before another morning. So if you have 6weet words to say, And make them Into rhyme, You'll make me happy all the day And I'll be your Valentine. Where rolls the Merrinmc Over a rock-bound bed, Thence conies our Angy Joyfulness to spread. The Berkshire's lassie blithe and free- Evervbodv's chum is she. "Prithee, tell me, Dimple chin, At what age does love begin? Your blue eyes have scarcely seen Summers sixteen, my fairy queen, But a miracle of sweets, Soft approaches, sly retreats, Show the little archer there, Hidden in your pretty hair. When didst learn a heart to win? Prithee, tell me, Dimple-chin.' 'Oh,' the rosy lips reply, I can't tell you, if I try. 'Tis so long I can't lXMiiember. Ask some younger lass than 1.' " Here's to my love in the derby hat Who is buried in snow with her golllng bat; She Is more breezy to me In her attitude Than the sweet zephyrs of Pinehurst altitude. She said to ine in her sweet cooing tones, Oh, where! oil where, are the sweet smelling cones, And the long leaf pines of the Sunny South That were advertised to till my lungs and mouth. Alas, my love, I did not know That I should see you buried in snow, When I brought you from your Northern home And pictured to you how we would roam Through the beautiful pines ami sandy loam.

When to Pinehurst I did go To be rid of a winter's snow, And found since I have been here, The coldest weather for many a year, A lonesome time I should have had, Were you not here to make me glad. Who "you" may be, I shall not tell, But who you are I know right well. Wilt thou be my valentine? And how shall I know that thou art mine? Dig for the violets under the snow, Wear them tomorrow at the top of the row Of buttons on coat or paleto (paletot) And then shall I know that thou indeed art mine. OUR MANAUKK.
