The Interest of tho colonial fritures

MAN A?OUT

Harry Tucker.
Nobody would believe Dave Andrada to
be ? poet.
But be Is.
We know whereof we speak, for, after
much persuasion on our part, wo suc?
ceeded In getting him to disgorge, nnd
we ll?TOWllh present a few of his lines.
Ills thoughts run on love, nnd from that
wo would Infor that he wan wrapped up
In love, but we have been Informed that
???neb Is not tbe fact.
Therefore, under the circumstances, wn
feel that we may apply the verses to
I.Itile Chips, who, we feel certain. Is in
love, for Duvo says so.
The llrst |?oom curries ns to the ethereal
and brings back to us the days of bur
youth. It goes Ilko this wny:
Qh, dearest love! my thought reflect
On Ih?O, divine nnd pure,
And nil earth seems n burden
Without thee to endure;
My wishes ?11 nre for thee, dear.
My heart Is never free
Of fondest longings to bo near?
To fairly worship thee;
To look Into thy dear, blue eyes,
To press theo to my heart;
To hear thee murmur,
Dearest, love, from Ihee I ne'er shall
purl;
To feol thy lips pressed close lo mine
In one sweet lingering kiss:
To hold thy hnnds within my own,
To know eternal bliss.
If anybody thinks there Is nothing In
?this let her call on Dave or us. and wo
will sonn cbangn I heir lino of thought.
But It doesn't end-there, for here is
another one equally as passionato and
Just us full of sentiment:
I long for thee. I want but theo,
My truo love, mv only love;
I live for thee, I'd dio fot? thee,
My sweet love, my dearest love; ?
???! If my heart you could but see
Vou'd find naught there but. love for thee;
Then come to me. my queen, my all,
For truo love's voice to thee doth call.
I know but thee, ? sigh for theo,
My sweet love, my dealest love;
I pray for thee, Id care for thee,
My true love, my only love;
Life's years are short, but love Is swoet,
Come to my heart, 'tis love's retreat;
Be all mine own. waste not the time,
And I will bo forever thlno.
1G we could write as good poetry as that
we would go Into tbe Byron or tho Burns
or the Longfellow business, and we think
we'd probably do better than living In
a garret with a candle.
Here Is another song of passion. Just ns
sweet as the other, nnd If wo were a.
member of the Bijou Bunch of Beauties
we'd feol that we were the ono meant:
.Tust to hold you In my nrms, love.
So tight you ne'er could leave me,
Just to look Into your eyes, love,
And know that you believe moj ?
Just to tell you o'er ngaln, love,
How my heart with love doth beat,
Just to hear you say again, love,
I nm yours, my dear old sweet;
Just to know that you were happy,
And that I had made you so,
Just to foci you loved me only
Nothing better could I know;
Jusl to think that never more, love,
You and I should ever part.
Just to have you ever, darling.
Close beside mv trusting heart;
Then would all tbe world be brighter,
Then would all my dreams be truei
All I want and all I long for,
Living, loving only you.
But that Isn't nil, for Davo hns dropped
Into song, and ho has written a beautiful
one that wo wish wero set to music, so we
could sing it In our beautiful voice to our
sweet Brown-Eyed One. 'Here It 'tis:
While Idly straying o'er the sand,
Of a city by tho sea,
My thought w;ere far o'er tho sandy bar
Of a maiden dear to me.
I took from It's nest upon my breast
A roso, now faded and dylngl
Her hand so fair had pluced It there,
For hor my heart Is sighing.
Take this flower, nnd from thl3 hour
My bonrt Is thine forever.
A little word, but scarcely beard,
And all that love did sever;
"J'ls withered, pressed, but on my breast
Thnt rose I'll always wear.
I love her yet, I'll never forgot
'Twns her hand placed It there.
Only a rose, so pink nnd fair,
Only ? memory, dear;
Only a vow flint's broken now,
Only n. falling tear,
Onlv a love from heaven above
That each day stronger grows.
A faded flower from Nature's bower,
Tho romance of a roso.
Dan Marble, of the Bijou Bunch, went
Into ? barber shop tbo other day, and
while ho was there a fellow with a clay
pipo camo In and sat in tho corner. ,
Then a dude came In and took off his
polka-dot tie.
When Dan got his shave and his sham?
poo, and had his mustache dyed, the
barber said;
"Next!"
The dude Started for the rhntr.
Tho barber understood that the man
with the clay pipe was "next," and when
the dude started to the chair the bar?
ber said:
"Ain't you next?" to the man with the
pipe.
"Oh, yes!" said the man, "I was next
when he came In."
Dan Marble told us that story. Wo
thought It was very funny when he told
It, but we must confess we do not see
whore It Is 'unny when we go to tell
It. AVo mv,_..ave left out something.
12lh and one of especial local interest
was "The Accolade," which represented
King Stanislaus nf Poland knighting
General Lewis Littlepage, of Virginia.
A circle of miniature court ladles and
gentlemen was grouped tn witness the
ceremony; the kneeling figure of the new
knight was before the King, who was In
the act of giving the accolade wi'.h a
handsome. Ivory handled sword. Ono of
the court ladles, r little maiden of r?ix.
held In her hand, the real, blazing star
of the Order of St. Stanislaus (still kept
in the family), while over her delicate
arm and down her long white train-dr-i.ss
streamed the silken crimson of the heavy
ribbon worn over a hundred years ago
with General Llttlepage's court drcs?.
Not even In tho ceremonious eighteenth
century could the actors In the original
scenes have performed the parts with a
finer slatellness nnd grace than was
shown by some of the children In the
tableaux.
The evening of the 12lh will be remem?
bered as nn occasion when tho hum-drum
monotony of modern life was broken by
a glimpse Into tho far-awny past, show?
ing for a moment a fairy world, bright
with a charm of a vanished time.

TRIED TO SLAY HER
BABES AS SACRIFICE
Religion-Crazed Mother Stops
to Pray and Neighbors
Save Children.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
AUGUSTA, GA., June 20.?Crazed by
religion, Mrs. Gussie Lett was discovered
yesterday in the act of sacrificing her
four little ones as an offering to the
Almighty.
Mrs. Lett erected a rude altar In one
room of her homo:and on It bound her
children, after romovlng their clothing.
Bho then got the butcbor knife, whetted
it to a razor-like sharpness, and stood
over tho altar, prepared to thrust tho
knifo Into the heurts of the little ones.
But sho offered prayer before proceed?
ing to the sacrifice and this Invocation
saved the children.
Neighbors heard tho, mother screaming
at tho top of her voice': "As Abraham of?
fered up Isaac to the Lord, so 1 will offer
you up, my children." They rushed In
and disarmed her.
Mrs. Lett has been acting queerly ever
since she attended revival services last
week.

"Eook nt tho United, States," he con?
