Hol WINTER.

].
Ha! Winter, no! Winter,
King of the northern blast! ~.
You meet us all, you greet us all,
With grip that freezes fast.
In regal pomp you've gathered up
Your royal robes of snow,
And by their trailing men shall trace
Whatever Ways you go.
Your grim retainers all, alack!
Make but a cruel train
OF biting sleet and singing winds
And ice and frozen rain.
The rich with furs and blazing hearths
Your carnival may scorn,
While Mirth IL Cheer may reign su-
preme.
From wassail eve till morn.
But hal! Winter, no! Winter,
What about the poor,
who've no stronghold against The cold.
No bride or sinecure
To set at bay the singing day,
Or soften down the night
Who note the t~hickening window-panes
With sinking hearts alright
Who draw their babies close and sing
Their shivering %lullabys,
Then sleep and dream of steaming feasts
That hunger-sleep supplies
TO wake at morn with shuddering sense
OF heightened fast and cold,
And find that gaunt-eyed Want hath
wrought
Its trace within the fold.
Ha! Winter, no! Winter,
Hard your reign on these;
God pity such! and send warm hearts
To all who ]starve and freeze.
Mario Barret Butler, IN Chicago Current.

A Texas paper, the Luling Wasp.
explains in this way why it expects to
keep clear of entangling alliances with
the Sheriff. ''We utilize all of our stale
letters, split open envelopes to get at
the unwritten side, and call into service
the brown wrapping paper in which
store. Our special kilograms are got
ten through while the operator is away
at dinner, and we compel, the pro-
prietor to set type, to sweep out the
office (monthly), kindle fires, fetch
water, make up forms, entertain Wis.
itors, discourage bores, and deliver the
paper to city subscribers. We don't
intend to bankrupt on this line"

"A Man Who Has Had Experience I'm Small
and Large Farms Expresses His Prefer
ence For the Former.
''Small farms are the BEST said Mr.
d. r. Emory, of Longmont, to the
Farmer a day or two since. 81 know
it to be a fact, because I've had ex-
p%erience with both large and small. In
Colorado a man is very apt to get tho
land fever, and the result is he has
nor land than his means will allow
him to cultivate, or, if it be grazing
land, he has no money to buy stock
with; his purchase is OF no use to him,
and, unless by some extraordinary
stroke of good fortune, he remains as
poor as a church mouse to the end of
his days.
''Now the man who owns but forty
acres determines to get as much out OF
this land as possible, and to this end
fertilizes it, sees that it is irrigated
properly, and gets in most eases as
much as his neighbor who farms eighty.
The natural reasoning then is that
small farms, as a rule, yield the largest
profits. Another reason why they pay
is, that whoever owns a small FARM
generally has poultry, swine, etc
AS the farm does not take all his
time, he sees the hens, the chickens
and the turkeys have proper care. He
has a few COWS and a small dairy,
which, as he is not obliged to be
working the land all the time, re-
ceives the attention needed. The butter
and cheese from this dairy are always
well made, and invariably bring the
highest prices and meet with a ready
sale. The eggs and poultry also sell
well, the former being fresh, and the
latter fat and plump, as only we'll
cared-for poultry can be.
son the forty acres can be grown a
liberal supply of vegetables, and there
is ample time to give them, too, the
necessary attention. A little of every
thing is found on this farm, a perfect
exemplltication Of mixed farming. l
have often heard people say OF poul
try on a farm, as an instance of how
small things are regarded, .Pshaw
Chickens are a nuisance Yet i know
a family in Colorado which this same
nuisance furnished largely with their
subsistence for II while. "-Colorado

Light Artillery are booked for the interstate
drill and competition at Mobile, Ala, which will
begin on Monday May T. The place selected
for the drill and camp is the grounds Of the fair
association, Arlington" about two miles south
of the city and on the shore of Mobile bay
The street railroad reaches it, and the track Of
the Louisville e Nashville railroad passes within
few feet of one of the entrances. With these
facilities larger crowds than the most sanguine
of the drill managers expect can be transported
TO and from the drill without crowding, and be-
Sides such as prefer can reach the grounds by
steamboats, down the bay, or from Point Clear,
the summer hotel across the bay.
Arlington grounds is an Enclosure Of about
$50 acres, laid off in spacious walks and drives
that are shaded by magnolias and live-oak trees,
festooned with silver-gray moss. The magnolia
is now about to burst into bloom. The build
ings Of the fair grounds will be utilized for
restaurants and music halls, aud the stables for
artillery, cavalry and staff horses. The drill
grounds will be within the circumference of the
halfmile race-track of the grounds. and ma tural

The tents for the soldiers will be placed upon

THE NEW UNION DEPOT.
Bonds for One Million To Be Issued To Run
Fifty Years.

VIM. r. McKeen and V. T. Malott returned from
Cincinnati Saturday at midnight, having held a
very satisfactory conference with M. E. Ingalls,
regarding Union Depot matters AS executive
committee they agreed upon form of bond, the
form of the mortgage, and will at once securele legal
opinion as to the legality of their ISSUE which, with
the articles of incorporation Of the company will
be put in shape to be understood by capitalists,
and loans will be invited on the bonds, which
will be issued to the amount of 81, 000 00O to run
fifty years. Already several inquiries have been
made by parties who desire to have an oppor-
tunity to bid on the same. Both Mr.. McKeen
and Mr.. Malott state that the progress
made tho last thirty days has been highly salts
factory. The work to be undertaken is of such
o character that hasty action cannot be taken.
Arrangements must be made to raise the money
needed Additional real estate is to be bought,
and numerous other things to be done in a pre-
liminary way, which could not be proceeded with
until the recent legislation regarding rights OF
railroad companies was enacted. Mr. Malott
expresses the opinion that these matters will be
settled by the 18th of next month, when the ex-
ecutiye committee will call the presidents and
general managers together to approve Of their
action. Both Mr. McKeen and Mr.. Malott, with
out any hesitancy, say the improvement will be
commenced in earnest in the near future.

TOLEDO AGAIN BEATEN.
The Home Club Wins Its Second Game of
the Series Before 5000 People.

The Indianapolis club won an easy victory
over the Toedos at Bruce Park yesterday after
noon, 5000 people witnessing the game. But
for the wild and eccentric pitching of Miller,
the visitors would not have had run, for every
man VINO scored took first base on called balls
Aside from his inability to control the ball at
certain stages, Miller was very effective, how
ever, only two hits being made off of his de-
livery, and retiring seven batsmen on their
strikes. In the ninth inning he strained his
shoulder and McKeon finished the game. The
home club batted Stemmeyer very freely, and
felded well with one or two exceptions. McKeon
carried off the honors with fourbase hits, one of
them for three bases. Miller, McQuery, Crane
and Mcguire had very pretty double play be-
tween them, and Collins made a remarkable
stop at short. Wright did the best work for the
visitors, and his difficult running catch Of
Cranes fly to right was heartily applauded
Kearns, who appeared for the first time with the
club at short, is evidently out of practice, and
three bad errors are credited to him. Following
is the score:
