The NEWSPAPER Of To-Day.

But the newspaper of to-day bears lit
tie or no resemblance to the personal
organ of olden times. Telegraphy, fast
mails, the march of education and thirst
for knowledge have built up the press, u
modern institution, profession and craft
in one, which overshadows the small
strifes of place hunters, and Is the supe-
rior, not the servant, of the poiitiacn,
because it typiiies the people. The
journalism of to-day offers within its
own limits all possible opportunities for
advancement, oil proper incentives to
ambition, all worthy rewards to those
who deserve them. II embraces In its
rank-thanks perhaps to the absence of
protection to other forms of American
literary industry-the best heads, the
clearest minds and the most faclle pens
in the land. AS an instructor and mem
tor il has dwarfed the school-rOom, the
pulpit and rostrum. AS an Interpreter
and guide of public opion. it has a
power which no tribune like Cicero nor
premier like Pitt ever swayed In anti
journal days. Its service 10 one upon
which young men OF brains and indus
try can enter with devotion to their
task, n commanding sense OF its dignity
and certainty of appreciation for good
work which belongs TO no other profess

CHAPTER XIV.
EITHER DEATH OR DIsHoNoR.

1t was late in the evening when Bill
Martin left Bushville, and Walters
patience was completely exhausted.
One excuse after another for delay,
followed until the sun was almost
down before they recrossed the bridge
on their return.
1--WE needn't be in SIGH a hurry"
said Bill, as they started down the
broad road at a sweeping trot, 'leas
Jack Hawkins don't care, and its none
O. ole Miles business how long we
stay"
To Walter, who could not brook
delay, or inactivity, the useless linger-
ing at the village had made him nery-
Gus. He replied:
but, Bill, we had nothing to detain
us there; your attempt to get a war
rant for those names was failure.
In course it was" said Bill, with
another grin. II know'd he'd not give
warrant for two SIGH names who hez
for the last thousand years stood for
nobody
Then why did you demand the
warrants?'
30, don't we knowP"
mo, l don't"
"Why, boy, we've hardly got yer eye
teeth cut in the business, yit"
Walter started and looked Bill in the
face. A feeling of horror seized him,
he knew not why; but the fiendish
grin on Bills face seemed to freeze
him with terror.
Il hardly understand you," after
a moments silence.
"Well, sir, kin explain. went
there to see eff the justice know any
thing about the robbers, an eff he had
any suspicious"
The answer puzzled Walter almost
as much as Bills entire conduct had,

as not. What ye got to do when ye
git home to-dayP"
Nothing but unload the wood"
"W'all, Mr.. Miles is an easy boss,
an ne Il not dock ye one cent fur goin'
to Busbville."
At that moment John came in sight
through the woods. He swung the
dead hare above his head with
triumphant shout, which again set the
dog to barking and galloping about
furiously.
"Wa'll, John, ye got himP" said Bill
Martin, as the broad-shouldered young
farmer came M and threw the dead
hare on his wagon.
"Yes, 'sir-ce, and q fat one he is,
too"
81 say, John. ye will he7 nothin'
more fur Walt to do to-day, kin he 60
with me to Bushville?"
"Of course, if he wants to- said
John.
Then come on, just climb up here
and well be goin'."
Being thus urged, Walter descended
from the wagon-load of wood, and
climbed up to the seat by Bill Martin.
He hardly knew why he did So but
like many other generous-hearted per-
sons, did that which he cid not care to
do merely to crafty the desire of some
one else.
81 wonder if they won't hatch up
some devilment," soliloquized John,
as he drove home alone. 81 know
Bill Martini a scamp, and l begin to
doubt Walter"

New Ribbons for Autumn.

New ribbons in preparation for aU-
tumn are woven in canvas-like meshes,
striped or brocaded with gilt and finished
with feathered edges. Plush ribbons Of
a solid color on one side have the other
side in gay Roman stripes. Velvet rib
bons have scalloped edges, or tiny tas-
sells on their selvages, and are satin ON
the reverse side. Ribbed velvet ribbons
come in two shades exquisitely blended
The watered ribbons are in every tint
of every color, and in all widths from
half an inch to seven-inch widths fon

bons will be again imported, though
they have not found favor here for
trimming summer toilets. - Harper's

a FRAGMENT.

What if, while sit here alone,
, A voice have not heard for years
Should greet me in low sweet tone
That once was music to my ears.
And should start from Memory's sway,
And. turning, find you sitting there
Unchanged as though 'twere yesterday
Your feet went tripping down the stair.
Or VI, upon some summer day,
Mid song of birds and hum Of bees
j should 20 down the woodland way
To our old tryst beneath the trees;
And, starting back in glad surprise,
should behold you waiting there,
The old Light shining in your eyes
The sunlight tangled IN your hair.
In vain shall not sec the glow
OF wine brown eyes or catch the smile
Of ruby lips; but yet ! know
That you are near me all the While.
For so loved you in that range
Of sunny years that my poor heart
Would bleed atTesh and count it strange
70 think God held us far apart,
And so, when evening shadows creep,
And night falls softly o err the lea,
You touch my eyeds and sleep,
And, sleeping, dream Of Heaven and thee
And when some summer morn Shall break
That finds INC chilled by Deaths cold dew
You need but kiss me, | shall wake,
And, waking, be in Heaven with you.

"Wouldn't ye like to get some clue

and sensual lips to the justice. "What

dipped his pen in the ink and drew be-

names.

The justice looked up in astonish-

"Who is the second?" asked Squire
Fogg, in no very good humor.

in which anger and dignity were in
tensifed, "beware how you tampel

"Tamper with justice, Squire =

The justice saw at once that as
matter of argument Bill had the bel

fled frown, he said:
You, both of you, get out of thi
Office. have no conversation for you
go-go at once"
Bill donned his hat with 10y

so CALLED LABOR CONVENTION.
A Small Meeting at Milwaukee to
Nominate n Tichet.

LA CROSSE, Wis, July 13.-Forty-
nine dele ites from Milwaukee, ten
local delegates and about dczen 9TH
ers, representing seven counties OF the
State, were gathered at the opening of
the 50 called labor convention which
began it's sefs on here today. The
proceedings have not been OF a very
harmonious nature, it being evident,
f ON the very starr, that the
various factions would not work
in unsnimity. The Milwaukee dele
cation outnumbered all the Others
put together, but it was 80 rent by in
Iernsl dlssension that it lost any ad-
vantage it's majority would have
caused. Some of the delegates desired
a dicker wi h the Democrats for the
inc CorsemeDt of Gabe Bouck, while
others wanted an entire third ticket
nominated. Others did not know
what they wanted. A VOC of the
convention showed that fourteen of
ths forty.nine had voted for Butler,
and seventeen for Cleveland. The
majority of the delegates seem TO
favor Gabe Bouck as the head OF a
fusion ticket.
At the afternoon session resolutions
were adopted opening with The senti-
ment that a check should be placed
upon the uDju:t accumulation OF
wealth and the power for evil OF sccu-
mulatt d wealth. Tne past and p'eseot
course Of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties were Cenkured. The
reservation OF public lands for actual
settlers, and general taxation of all
property were determined on.
Toe resolution asked for the enact
ment OF laws to compel CORPORATIONS to
pay their employees weekly to abolish
the contract systsm on national, State
aud municipal work; TO provide for
arb tration between employers and
employees; toprJhibit the emp'oymsnt
Of children under Is years Of age; to
prohibit the hiring out OF convict

An amendment was substituted by
