WILD FLOWERS
Oh, dainty baby foresters
That hide in silent hooks.

Oh, dainty baby foresters
That hide in silent hooks,
That linger by the cowpaths
And peep into the brooks.
Your dimples bring me back again
The merry days of old,
When every wood was fairy-land
And buttercups were gold.
BY NOISY rocks and nodding ferns
You lift your timid eyes;
And by the wounded maple trees
In smiling groups arise.
No more the shrieking winter winds
Alright the naked woods,
But all the scented aisleS are gay
With Flora's dappled hoods.
Again the daisy's snowy sails
O'erspread the grassy seas,
Again thousand tiny maSts
Bend low before the breeze:
And daffadils, in scented robes,
On sunny knobs are seen,
And dandelions, like little suns.
Shine out amid the green.
Though years have sped since first for m,
You made the meadows bright,
And many a sunset-tinted dream
Has faded into night,
Still do hail with boyiSh love
The violet's balmy breath
Still JOY 20 see the crocus burst
From Winters icy death,
i trace the tints of deathless Hope
In all your tender beauty,
We tiny bands that sing to man
Mid stony path of duty,
That whisper of paradise
The toiling years shall give,
When, grief and hate, and death shall de
And only love shall livel

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-The local monetary stu

they cropped out were at once provided for and
snatched quickly into line, SO that the market
in It's entirety wss thoroughly in the gripof the
bulls and the bears were thereby clipped of
their recent prestige by the success of the
movement and the advance established. We
foreshadowed this change of attitude over u
week ago, which was at the period when the
cloud was DARKEST, that a turn was
near at land, and that Wall street would surely
pull through it and remain where it stopped,
and that it was no time for disappointment,
and those that continued in that
gloomy mood would soon be passed by on the
wayside by wide awake travellers. Many, we
fear, not needing the advice then given, have
been left in the ditch and badly undiscovered.
The market has now had a very rapid as well as
an important advance. We therefore advise
gradual securing of profits so as to be in readi-
ness for what comes next"

viii He Be or Not?
lSt. Paul Volkszeitung |

That is the world moving question
the last few days-that means, whether
Mr.. Albert Scheffer will be candidate for
congress, or not. Some obscure papers.
as 1t generally is the case, have set the po-
litical ball in motion that Mr.. A. Scheffer
is the most available and under all cir
cumstances the most appropriate success
sor to Mr.. Washburn. Now comes Mr..
Eli Perkins,a correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, and says, that Mr.. A. Scheffer is
the most popular man in the state and the
man of the hour, who could give peace to
the stormy waves of the political fishpond.
The GLOBE and Pioneer Press took notice
of it. And if we consider that Mr..
Scheffer has worked hard and suce= ssfully
for the election of Mr.. Sabin,
and furthermore, that Mr.. Washburn
likes to be either candidate for governoror
United States senator, he could not look
upon the candidacy of Mr.. Fletcher in a
very friendly manner. Therefore, it seem
ed as if there was something about it, and
as the Volkszeittng always likes to go to
the bottom, we tried to squeeze the truth
of the affair out of A. Scheffer.
When our reporter told Mr.. Soheffer
about 1t, the following conversation took
place:
Rep.-Heve you read Mr.. Eli Perkins
letter IN the Chicago Tribune9 What do
you say to 1t?
Mr.. ST. have read it, and can say that
it was written without my knowledge
and consent.
Rep.-How is it about your candidacy?
Mr.. s S.-Nothing about it at present. L
have not thought of it yet.
Rep.-Then you are no candidate?
Mr.. $40 not for some time TO come,
and do not know whether l shall be at
all. I have to take into consideration
business matters and other circumstances,
and 1 have had no time to think about it.
But, Mr.. Reporter, when 1 have come to a
conclusion shall go up to your editorial
room and will ask the gentlemen there
what they think of it.
Reporter-M obliged Mr.. S. we will
wait.-and then he went away no more
enlightened than before.

The daily GLOBE gives in its edition of
yesterday, long article of the Chicago
Tribune, which represents the political
outlook in Minnesota. Among other items
is reference that jim the fourth district
minneapolis and st. PauD Mr. l..
Fletcher was supposed to be looked at as
the successor of w. d. Washburn, who has
decided to be no candidate for reelection.
Suddenly a very dangerous opponent
arises in the person of Mr.. Albert Scheffer,
OF st. Paul, whose candidacy is supported
by large number of our citizens. 1t is
quite sure there could be no better and
more worthy representative found to be
sent to Washington for the fourth district
than him. And as far as our German pop
ulation is concerned, they could find no
better and far-seeing candidate for election.

New YORK, Jan. 3O.--The market opened

strong. During the first half hour there
was sharp advance in Lackawanna,
Northern Pacific and Northwestern There

from that time until the last hour the

advanced, and Gould stocks were very stub

without feature. Oregon was taken hold
of by the bulls and advanced to 241s and
then to 25. Meanwhile the clique brokers'
were buying Missouri Pacific. Toward
the close Slayback bought Pullman up to
1143. While the market has been m

control of it, the rise does not appear to us
to have any solid foundation, and we still

The Newspaper Humorists
lChicago News.l

Since the removal of its publication
office from Austin to New York, Teras
Sjttings, which burt short while ago
WINS the most widely quoted paper il the
country, has dropped almost wholly out
of sight. We don't believe, as we have
heard great many people say, that the
removal OF the paper from Texas occa.
stoned the former favorite's tumble from
popularity. We are inclined rather to
believe one of two things: Either that
Messrs. Sweet and Knox have exhausted
their mine of humor, or that the public
has wearied of the kind of humor in
which 1eras SJtings dealt. We incline
to believe the first proposition to be the
osse. The only two old newspaper hu-
morists who have held their own before
the public are c. B. Lewis, of the Detroit
Free Press, and Robert j. Burdette, of the
Burlington Eawkeye. Lewis is verl-
table prodigy. He has written constant
ly for ten years and he has not weakened
in the least. Burdette does not write as
much, but he has improved and he has
yet to do the best work of his life. We
believe Burdette is drifting towards
verse-making; if this is true we may
look for some exqu site work at his
hands after he mas learned the difference
between spondee and dactyl and is
brave enough to put his thoughts in to
rhyme. The foolish fear OF being
laughed at has aborted many beautiful
poem. OF the more recent humoris,s
the best are Joel C. Harris, f. w. Nye
and 0pie Reed. Nye is the most popu-
lar, bat Reed is undoubtedly the most
versatile. Harris's work is simply per
feet in its way, but the fact that it is
largely confined to dialect sketches pre-.
scribes the extent OF its popularity, and
this extent of popularity will, we be.
Geve, diminish year by year. james
Whitcomb Riley is beyond all question
