from 100 to 200 per cent, thereby hoping 10
kill them on. The strikers say that the losses to the

by reducing operators wages-rhat The growth Of

AFAREwELL TO SUMMER.

See Winters van, with blazoned banners flying;
Sweep DER the forest mountain plan or dell;
The dropping flowers ana breezes sadly signing,
To summer bid farewell.
Blithe morns that scattered joys, though of re-
peated
Still ever new as at Creations dawn;
BY thousand glad harmonious voices greeted
From grove and dewy lawn.
Still moons when cen the aspen ceased TO qu'er
And honey-sated lay the slumberlng pee
Amid whose silence family lisped the river
Translucent to the
Eyes when fond lovers paced the terraced alley
Where, through the twilight, cleaned the lustrous
flowers;
And birds, within the leaf-enshrouded valley,
Sung from dim violet bowers.
Nights when the starry clusters slowly thlckened
To the full structure of heavens golden maze;
Nights whose cool breath the stretching landscape
quckened,
Yelled in a moont haze.
Farewell. Amid your dimmed and scattered
treasures,
Queen of the year, your lovers sigh adieul
Farewell till with your pure, heal hgving pleas
Earth's pulse shall throb anew.
