~SOS soty AOuS oHOs II was announced
that tho President had determined to
take the responsibility OF issning sup
plies for the relief OF the sufferers BY
the ravages OF the grasshoppers in the
Northwest. Now it is announced that
he declines to issue relief to the suf-
ferers by the storm which DESTROYED

right to issue public supplies for either
OF these purposes than he had to take
money out Of Mr.. Astor's pocket and
give it to Boss Shepherd. But why is

PHILOSOPHICAL SIMPK1Ns.


John Simpkins sat on q counter high
In his masters shop in crowded street
Musing he sat with vacant eye.
And loosely dangled his idle feet.
What to Simpkins were dry goods then,
What the measure Of cloth and IA pc,
As he dreamed his dream Of primeval men
And Darwin's views OF an sncient ape?
Atoms and worlds and molecules
Rolled by in maze with bobbin and twist,
Megaloeaurus, neurosis, and epoOls,
The moral law and the Oeninges schist.
Questions mighty. ofgrave import,
Surged and tossed in his habby brain
Science, religion, squirt, and retort.
Cotton and antediluyian rain.
He pondered OF many a brachiopod,
Authropoid capers and simian tricks
And he dOcb ted whether there was God,
And whether the boss would close at six.
Customers came and customers went
Yet Simpkins sat in a study brown;
Never an ear TO one he lent,
Never displayed "hand me e-doWn"
Ponderipg still OF ecience rare,
Streams of stars and the milky way,
FlOcculi in the tail of The Bear,
And whether the Hebrew yam meant" day.
At eve, when the day of toll was done,
The boss called John to his side and said:
philosophy IL never do here, my son,
YOu hain't no sort Of a business head.
You're bounced, my son." He hied him away,
Yet pondered still Of the brachiopod
Yet he sighed, 1T is just as the scients say,
always knew that there wasen't no God
oh, men, my brothers, just think what you-dO
When You turn the head OF 6 tailOr's clerk
And go and give him cosmic clew,
When instead ofthat he should mind his work.
For the wise should know what It is that wins
The strife in this weary world OF woe
Cosmic, philosophy or pins,
Evolution or calico.

word and they walked slowly up the
graveled path toward the old man
sion. The hOusekeeper came out
and bade them welcome in a grand
and impressive manner. The crick-
cts began to chirp in the grass. The
air seemed laden with the perfume
of summer flowers. The ancient ivy
seemed to even vaguely hint of au-
tumn, as 1t hung in motionless fes-
toons from the walls. There was a
sober air about the place, far differ
ent from her childhood home. The
doctor offered her an arm chair on
the wide piazza.
How courtly and dignifed his
manners. His hair was gray-with
honorable toll. He leaned over her
and whispered:

Hush! 1t is our home.

away from such childish nonsense,
and furtively wiped tear for the
late lamented, solitary goose.

From the Virginia City Enterprise.
Married L1fe-COnfdentiaI Talk q
Young Couple had

After having been married some
weeks, it came into the head of a
young husband in this city, one Sun
day when he had but little to occu-
py his mind, to suggest to his wife
that they should plainly and honestly
state the faults that each had discoV-
cred in the other since they became
man and wife. After some hesita-
ton the wife agreed to the PROPOSE
ton, stipulated that the rehearsal
should be made in all sincerity and
with an honest view of the better of
each other, and otherwise it would
be of no use to speak of the faults
to which marriage had opened their
eyes. The husband was of the same
mind, and the wife asked him to begin
with her faults. He was somewhat
reluctant, but his wife insisted that
he was the first one to propose the
matter, and he was at the head of
the house and it was his place to
take the head. Thus urged, he be-
gan the recital. He said:
~Ay dear, one of the first faults
1 obserged in you, after we began
keeping house, was that you a good
deal neglected the tinware. You
didn't keep it secured as bright as
it used to be. My mother always
took great pride in her tinware, and
kept it as bright as dollar
II am glad that you have men
toned it my dear" said his wife,
bIushing q little. thereafter you
shall see no speck on cup or pan.
Pray proceed" Z"
81 have also Observed" said the
husband, SHAT you use your dish
rags a long time without washing
them, and then finally throw them
away. Now, when at home, 1 re-
member that my mother always US
ed to wash out her dish-rags when
she was through using them ."
