At the Gate.

And where were you Just now, Mabel
Where have YOU been SO long
The moon is up, and all the birds
Have sung their evening song;
saw you lettering down the path,
50 lonely and SO late.
Beyond the well and lilac bush,
And hanging by the gate
| love to hear the birds. mother.
And see the rising moon;
And. oh the summer air is sweet
Beneath the SKY of June.
My COW is miihed, my hens are cooped,
And washed are cup and plate,
And SO | wandered out "a while,
To hang upon the gate.
The gate is by the road, Mabel,
And idle folks 20 by,
Nor should d maiden brook the glance
Of every stranger eye,
Besides, thought ! saw a cap
I'm sure you had mate
So tell me who was with YOU chiId
just hanging at the gate.
Now you know Just as well, mother
Twas only Harry Gray
He spoke such words To me tonight
| knew not what TO say.
And, mother oh for your dear SAKE,
only bade him wait
And mayn't run and tell him now
He's hanging at the gate.

Is a Mule a Horse ?
From the Newark u. j Advertiser

From the Newark "a. - Advertiser
Hugh Clark was before Justice Ricord
yesterday afternoon for triad on the charge
OF violating the city ordinance by allow
ing a horse to run at large on the public
streets. On the part Of the city Witness
es We're produced to substantiatc the
charge but on the part Of the defendant
it was shown that Clark had not owned a
horse for six months. but had mules and
that it was mule which had been on the
streets. The defendants counsel con-
tended that as the city ordinance SAYS
nothing about a mule the defendant WAS
not liable. The City Attorney insisted
that mule was a species of horse and
that, as the defendant admitted that his
mule had been grazing on the streets. he
was guilty Of a violation Of the ordinance
Justice Ricord said he had no doubt that
the Common Council intended that no
horse or mule should run at large, but he
must construe the ordinance strictly, and
he therefore dismissed the complaint

Wants TO Know. You Know.

For the past twenty-five years there
has appeared at nearly all the stock
holders meetings OF bank, insurance,
railroad and manufacturing corporations
held in this city prominent and veal
thy capitalist whose particular mission
seemed TO be to ask questions and op.
pose motions. At a recent meeting oil
railroad stockholders this individual was
absent, and the singdlarity OF the TACT
was noticed by the president. After
waiting for some stakeholder to speaker
make a motion, he quietly remarked,
"as Mr.. H is absent, some other
gentleman please ask questions. Dos
ton Trdrellsr
For our part we think that the stock
holders in corporations owe a vote OF
thanks to any OF their number who will
make il "their mission 10 ask questions
The trouble with a great many OF our
banks, insurance companies and manu-
featuring corporations has been, that so
long as a good dividend was announced
there was no question asked. 1t Is a
well-known fact that at the stOckhold-
ers' meeting OF many of the banks it has
often been impossible 10 bring together
a sufficient number to pass vote or
make the meeting legal. We remem-
Der few wears since attending stock
holders meeting of one of our leading
banks, which had been duly advertised,
but which was responded to by only
three directors and two stockholders.
This laxity and indifference induces
managers OF corporations TO believe that
the stockholders whose servants they
are, have no right to question them, and
if thew presume to make inquiries re-
specting the management, condition or
prospects of the property in which they
have invested their money, are treated
bv these CustOdians as though 1t was 4
special piece OF impertince, and to be
resented accordingly.
II "Mr. H" or some other such
investigating capitalist had asked ques-
tons and opposed motions at the meet
ings of some OF the Fall River corpora
tons it might perhaps have had the effect
of preventing some OF the gross mis-
Management and dishonesty which was
inclted bv blind confidence, not to say
criminal negligence on the part OF those
interested.
Happily the state OF business has
induced investors toall stock COmpan-
les to ask questions, and not only that
but require answers, but the effect has
unhappily been in too many instances
that the replies were so unsatisfactory
as to cost the investor his investment
and the officers their reputation and
liberty.
Give us then the presence at all meet
ings of the man who asks questions.
He brings out the real condition OF
