by its first discoverer among civilized mankind.

which our government has properly followed. the
name of Rainier belongs to it. All the official
maps retain this name. but the makers
of the Northern Pacific railroad maps
have taken the liberty to change it to Tacoma

be hoped that this move of the Tacoma TOWNSHIP

If were railroad brakeman,

That the man who was going to Texas,
Would 60 clear through to Maine.

And I'd give such mighty roar,
That the passengers back in the sleeper,
Would all fall out ON the floor;
For couldn't afford tenor voice,
And couldn't afford to speak
In the sweet, soft tones of aolian harps
For eleven dollars week.
If were a baggage-master
I'd rattle the trunks about;
I'd stand them up in the corner,
And 1 d tear their bowels out.

would kick their corners in,
And strev their stuffing all round the car,
And make them lank and thin.
For couldn't afford to wear kid gloves,
Nor put soft pads on my feet,
Nor to handle things gently when all my pay
Just keeps me in bread and meat.
If were railroad conductor
As through the train I'd go.
I'd have for every question they'd ask
This answer all ready: Don't know"
I'd miss connections for lots of men,
I'd run lone passengers past
I'd tell them twas eight when knew twas ten,
And I'd swear their watches We're fast
For l couldn't afford to be civil,
When knew every man in TIE load,
Would look at my watch and ring, and say,
He stole them things from the road"

The Pioneer.

Brought all he loved across the sea,
To live and work for God and me-
Feled the ungracious oak;
Dragged from the soil
With horrid toll
The thrice-gnarled roots and stubborn rock
With plenty piled the rugged mountain SIDE
And at the end, without memorial died.
No blaring trumpet sounded ont his fame,
He lived-he died. do not know his name.
No form of bronze and no memorial stones
Show me the place where lie his moldering BONES
Only cheerful city stands,
Builded by his hardened hands,
Only ten thousand homes,
Where every day
The cheerful play
OF love and hope and courage comes
These are his monument, and these alone,
There is no form of bronze and no memorial stone.
