Wind-fower, Wind-fower, why are you here?
This is boisterous time of the year
For blossoms as fragile and tender as you
10 be out on the road-sides in spring -raiment

For snow-fakes yet futter abroad in the air,
And the sleet and the tempest are weary to bear.
Have you not come here, pale darling, too soon
You would seem more at home with the flowers of
June.
"Why have come here?" the Wind-fower said:
"'WhyY-and she gracefully nodded her head
AS breeze touched her petals: "Perhaps to teach
you
That the strong may be sometimes the delicate,
too.
L am fed and refreshed by these cold, rushing
rains;
The first melting snow-drifts brought life to my
veins;
The storm rocked my cradle with lullabies wild;
L am here with the Wind-because 1 am his
child"

He loves her SO he sitteth nigh her
That he at her may gaze.
His tenor mingles with the din
Of organs pealings well;
His eyes are centered on the hymn,
And on the her as well.
And she, as amorous maidens will,
Oft looks her lovers way;
And thus while hard at work she still
Has ample time for play.
And surely it is well, for they
Have reasons for their whim;
He sings, aad she is paid to play
Accompaniment to hymn.

Louisiana Proteotionists Meet and
Adjourn TO Another Day.

New ORLEANS, La, Aug 22.-The con-
vention of the protected industries OF Louisi-
ana, consisting mainly of the rice and sugar
planters of the state, which met here Wednes-
day, caused some surprise by taking no polit
ical action whatever, and adjourning with
out really doing anything, subject to call at
a later date The convention CON
sisted of representatives of the sugar and
ri"e interests delegates from the various
labor organizations and from the commercial
exchanges of New Orleans, the sugar plant
ers, however, being in large majority.
There was also quite large body of negroes
present, representing the laborers on the
plantations. For some months past it has
been the desire of both political parties here
to secure the Endorsement of this convention.
The Republicans urged it to place full cleo
toral ticket in the field, while the Democra is
wanted it to indorse Cleveland. The meet
ing showed that the convention could not
come to any unanimous sentiment on
these points. and for this reason
no political action whatever was
taken beyond the adoption of series Of reso-
buttons pronouncing in favor of protection.
| Hon. Carlton Hunt, congressman from the
| First district, was Endorsed for reelection
and Senators Gibson, Jonas and Kellogg
| thanked for their good offices. The Louisiana
| congressman, all of whom voted for the
Morrison bill, were ignored A majority Of
the convention was Democratic, but it was
found impossible to unite it in favor of any
party or policy. 1t is not certain when the
convention will be called together again. Il
will probably watch events, and wait for {
favorable opportunity TO show its influence

SEVEN MEN SUFFOCATED.
A Sudden Escape of Gas from
Burning Mime Claims the Victims.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Aug ga fire broke
out Wednesday in the Buck Ridge mine
slope, / 500 feet from the surface. The com
pany bought the Greenback colliery adjoin-
ing, the workings of which are higher than
those of the Buck Ridge colliery. The
intention was to bore hole thirty-six
feet in length from the Greenback
to the Buck Ridge Colliery, turn the creek
into both collieries, and by flooding them
put out the fire While men were engaged
in this work, gas suddenly poured in from
the burning mine, and before they could
escape seven men fell victims to the deadly
gas. 1t is impossible to reach their bodies
as both mines are full of gas and the fire is
increasing. Eleven mules also were burned.

put up his horses for the night. As he was
bedding them down the same horse that had
kicked his son kicked at him viciously The
hoof struck the farmer on the hip, knocking
him with much force against the side of the
barn. No bones were broken, but the farmer
was obliged TO call for aid to enable him to
reach the house.
Soon after the last mishap to the Petit
bones another member of the family knocked
a kerosene lamp off of stand i'll the sitting
room. Fortunately it did not break, and it
was caught up and righted before any harm
was done 1t increased the excitement, al.
ready great, in the household and caused
Mrs. Pettibone to faint away. At last ac-
counts all the nnfortunates We're doing well.
