A Pilgrim Song.

From the London Christian.l
Our God is faithful! Time moves on, to find
US
Still singing of the mercies left behind US:
Still taking. as we sing, of some fresh store,
And looking trustfully for those before.
How can we doubt, with memories to cheer
us?
How can we sorrow, with His love so near
How can we faint, while He has strength to
And we, BY faith, His proffered grace re-
Like as a father, pitying, He leads US,
And daily with some heavenly morsel feeds
US;
Sees to our ailings, bushes our alarms,
And bears us, weary, in His loving arms.
He who hath led thus far will never leave us,
Until He at His heavenly home receive US;
There we shall see His face. and there adore
And tune our harps to praise Him evermore.
A few more stages on our journey going,
And we shall reach where JOrdan's stream is
flowing;
Our faithful God will cleave its swelling
tide,
And land us safely on the other side.
There Ebenezers shall be lost in joy forever
Where sorrow, sin and want can enter
never;
Where, in a day that knows no coming
night,
Well bless the faithfulness that kept us
right.

The Fond Papa's Lullaby.

The Fond Papa's Lullaby.
Come baby dear,
The night is here.
'Tis time thou vert in slumber,
To close thine eyes,
Sweet lullabies.
I'll sing thee without number.
Sleep baby, sleep,
Close watch / keep,
Fear not, thy fathers near thee;
Safe in his care,
Whisper thy prayer,
The angels bend to hear thee.
Rest, sweet one, rest,
On papa breast,
No one will dare to harm thee,
Hush while he sings
All sorts of things,
Into sweet sleep to charm thee.
ALLEGRO CON FUOCO.
Shut up, l say,
Come, can't stay
Up here all night and bother!
Don't yell like that!
Confound the brat!
Here, take him to his mother.

AN OLD MANS COMPLAINT.
A Son Charged with Fraudulently Trying to
Get Possession of His Fathers Property.

An unusual grievance is set forth in the COM
plant of John McCaffery against his sons,
James McCaffery and Edward McCaffery, Will
lam B. Walls, the attorney, and others. He
says Edward McCaffery is just twenty-one years
old, is ignorant of and inexperienced in the
transaction of business pertaining to real estate,
and that he, the plaintiff. is old and ignorant,
being unable to write. Recently Edward agreed
to sell to James his interest in some family real
estate, in which the plaintiff, John McCaffery,
had lifetime interest. Annie Donnelly, who
was another heir also sold certain real estate at
the same time to James McCaffery The plant
if says that James and his attorney, Walls,
falsely and fraudulently informed him that as
he was the father of Edward and as the latter
had just arrived at full age, it would be necessa-
ry for him to sign and acknowledge the deed to
show that he consented to the sale by Edward
and Annie Donnely He did as requested, and
now James McCaffery claims the old mans life
estate, which the latter says he did not SELL He
wants the deed cancelled

ENCRoACHING ON MICHIGAN ROAD.
How the States Highway Has Been Gradually
Narrowed from the Required Width.

A case has been appealed to the Supreme
Court from Decatur county, in which Woodson
Hamilton, a landowner, was convicted of OBJ
structing the highway by taking a strip of the
Michigan road within the Enclosure of his fence
Ia his investigation of questions involved in the
case the Attorney general finds that by the terms
Of the treaty with The Pottawatomie Indians in
1926, the Michigan road, which was to run
from Lake Michigan by way of Indian
apolis to the Ohio river, should be 100
feet wide. The Legislature, in 1880, approved
this provision of the treaty. and ordered that
the road should be cut through the forests to q
width of 100 feet The road has been narrowed
until now, doubtless, at no point in its course
has it the width originally required Under the
law regulating highways the commissioners in
each county have the power to change the bound
airy lines of the road, but it is believed that In
most instances the formality OF petitioning them
for an order to make such changes has been neg
Dected, and landowners have encroached upon
che highway with their fences without permis-
Afou.

large amount of pine yet uncut within easy

Lied 10 His uother-iu.Law.

CHICAGO. April "a bill was filed in
the superior court to-day by Mrs. Mary G..
Green, mother-in-law of Ferdinand Ward.
formerly OF the firm of Grant & Ward.
seeking to have attachment proceedings be-
gun by Highland G. Batchellar against real
estate belonging to her in Wrightwood set
aside and her title confirmed. Batchellar Is
a New York lawyer, who was Ferdinand
Wards legal adviser and had claims OF
$4,000 for services. Among what were
supposed to be Wards assets were some six
lots in WrightwoOd, ana Batchellar in or
der to secure himself took out an
attachment in Chicago against these lots.
Mrs. Green, who IS very old and infirm,
claims her son-in-law, who had her entire
confidence, induced her by certain prom
ises TO put her name to a paper which she
has since found was an assignment of her
rights TO the property in question. Mrs.
Green charges that Batchellar was ac-
quainted with the transaction, and knew
that she never received a consideration for
her property from Ward. She is also said
to have lost 500, 900 by the Grant d Ward
failure. The court is asked to protect her
rights.

NO IMPROVEMENT NOTED
BY Bradstreet's Reports Fror
Prominent Business Centers.

NEW YORK, April Especial kilograms
to Bradstreets from prominent business
centers do not reveal any general gain in
the volume of merchandise distributed dur
ing the past week. Memphis and Louis
vile report slight improvement, owing to
better weather. At ST. Louis the business
community is suffering from inadequate
railroad facilities. and is adapting itself to
the diminished demand. Kansas City re-
ports decidedly improved trade. Chicago
admits that the boom which was looked for
a month ago is missing, and that pur-
chases are made on a more conservative
basis. At other interior markets no special
changes are noted. At the East business is
quiet i'm all important lines. Dry goods at
hrst and second hands are not so brisk as
expected. Stocks are small. The weather
has interfered with the jobbing trade. and
print sales are light, though prices are I'M
changed Wool Is quiet with prices favor
ing buyers. The general industrial sltua-
ton is somewhat improved. The South
western railway strike has lost some of its
worst features, though presumably includ-
ing great part OF those who originally
struck. Iron, raw and manufactured, is
quiet and unchanged as to prices at the
East. Some varieties have been shaded
on actual sales at ST. Louis. Wheat
has suffered and prices Of cash
No. red at New York have gone off go
cents. The decline in cash spring wheat at
Northwestern markets Is about cents, and
this in the face of the most active buying for
exports since last harvest Other grains
have failed to withstand the heaviness
shown by wheat. Flour is dull aud in less
demand from abroad, with an average re-
duction of about 10 cents per barrel. Grain
ocean freights at New York have been
higher. owing to the improved demand for
loom. Mediterranean wheat purchases
have been the feature. A better consump-
tive demand results In better prices for
sugar, and higher rates of exchange In Rio
have advanced coffee aloat. The exports
of cheese support prices. and the home de-
mand holds up butter quotations.
