THE LEAFS LESSON.

THE LEAFS LESSON.
BY IDA Brrr.
A leaf fell down from tree
Fell down at my feet one day
And picked 1t up to see
Its colors so brightly gay.
Around on the trees about
Were thousands Of leaves as bright,
Flooding the tired old earth
with beams Of melowed light.
Each leaf was young and was old.
Had been green and fresh and new,
But nov as the days grew cold,
Had grown old In the place where II grew.
Now hold that in everything
On earth there's lesson for us,
No sought for one in the leaf,
And came to interpret II thusi
The world ls a tree where we grow.
Grow strong. like the leaves, think;
And, II we will think Of II, 40
Like them at length we sink.
The leaf was bright with gold
An II lay on the ground at my feet.
Though the frosts Of Autumn were cold
And the ice winds whistled and beat.
Even in falling II helped
The tired and careworn man
To see the beauty OF heaven
In the beauties on earth begun.
so may we, II seems to me,
Though the frosts on our life may fall,
nroxy hrioht a nd gaulat nj Nin1
A blessing TO one and all.

the deepest love flows through the eye and

WEAK-KNEED DEMOCRATS.
The MiIk-ano. Water Policy Adopted by the
Caucus Committee.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The appropriation
bills prepared according to the programme de-
cided upon by the Joint Caucus Committee yes
terday will be presented to a meeting Of the
Joint Committee to DO held tomorrow night
Tho members OF the subcommittee appointed
TO draft tho bills have been engaged in their
preparation to-day. The members Of the party
who were anxious to fight for prin-
ciple are disgusted with the milk-and-
water policy Of the Caucus Committee.
They realize the humilistinR fact that
the only barrier in the way Of free ballot
boxes free votes. and free elections Is the al
most nconceivable weakness OF the mem
bers Of their own party. The weak-kneed
Democrats believe that public sentiment
is against the policy OF withholding supplies
until public grievances are redressed. A few
New England Democrats have informed the
Northern Democrats that they are making a
mistake in not passing the appropriation bills.
and the leaders who began the fight so briskly
are growing fainter day by day.
