LIFE'S SCARS.
They say the world is round and yi-t
I often think it square?;
So many little hurts we get
From corners here ami .here.
But one great truth in life I've found
While journeying to the West;
The only rolks who really wound
Are those we love best.
The man you thoroughly despise
Can rouse your wrath, 'tis true;
Annoyance in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers do;
Bui those are only passing ills.
This rule all lives will prove;
The rankling wound which aches and
thrills
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest garb, the sweetest gran;
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mien, the frowning f.t,o
Are given to our own.
We Hatter those we scarcely know;
We please the Meeting guest;
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor ttue hearts yearly bloom.
Alas for these who only see
This cu i across a tomb ;
But. soon ..r le. the fact "cows plain
To nil throtic.h sorrow's t.si:
The on'v loll s v, !.. ;'!' u? p ln

"Does the educational test result in

"In a veiy slight degree. The voter
has to read or understand a clause of

quently the judge of election helps out
the voters both white and colored. A

A ferry for the transportation of load

cording to Southern papers, Is to build
suitable tracks at both . ends and load
care In Havana with fruit and perisha

and then send them away across the

joys the privilege of wearing his hat In

Gdvernor Wolcoti, of Massachusetts,
said the other day in speaking of Co
lonel Roosevelt's Lowell Institute lec
tures: "They are interesting because
the speaker both makes and writes his
tory. There are always men to do one,
but rarely those who do both."
Mayor Moores, of Omaha, has sent to
President McKinley, pair of gilded keys
of the city, similar to those which he
presented to all the distinguished vis
itors to the Exposition last summer. On
one of the keys Is printed: "Omaha
Welcomes the President." The other
bears the legend: "October 12, 1898."
The natives of Porto Rico make soap
for washing purposes out of the leaves
and bulbs of plants. Tneir shaving
soap is prepared from cocoanut oil and
home made lye, and the process of
shaving involves the use of a cocoanut
shell cup, a donkey tail brush and a ra
zor fashioned from a piece of broken
gkiss.
General AVood has granted the peti
