SPOKANE FALLS.

Old as the hills, yet childish with glee,
Singing and huriying on to the sea;
AS long as the world lasts lovely Spokane,
Industry will tangle her hand in thylmane'
Thou art willing for mans silken rein to
be cast,
Invoking your aid as you thunder on past ;
But lot him beware, II doubling It's might,
Too rudely he checks the fierce stoed IN its
flight.
A slave thou may'st be, but the letters you
Must n nestIe as gently az those lovers wear,
And the serf, all unconscious, snail truhoie
the MILL
Like the log in the eddy that whirls at It's
will.
Men will come to thy marge from the ends
Of the earth;
And the whole world unite In conceding
thy worth, .-..,
For the tide that to day thou art wasteful'
Could keep all the spindles in christen-
dom whirling.
There are babes in the East who will seek
you some day
When the bread. winners group whcre you
now dash your spray.
And from over the seas the proud SHIPS
will yet bear
Many strong hearted yeomen their labors
to share.
All, beautiful Spokane! you've trified and
toyed
Too long with boon the world should
have enjoyed;
You have wasted the might of billions OF
steeds,
While for strength and Tor power uni
verse pleads.
But the DAY is fast dawning when man
shall unite
The cunning OF art with thy wonderful
might
He, the master of all, thou the master in
seeming
He, wakeful and watchful, thou strong in
thy dreaming.

How sherman Heard Webster.

In 1850 General Sherman. then Lieuten-
ant Sherman, was in Washington for
short time, and learning that Webster
was to make speech In the senate, was
extremely anxious to hear him. On
fastening to the capitol, however, he
likely to lose the only opportunity he
would ever have of listening to the famous
orator. Finally he sent in his card to
Senator Corwin, whom he had met on
several occasions, and said to him when
mir. Corwin, am very anxious to hear
Mr.. Webster speak to-day"
We'll, why don't you go into the
gallery?"

full and running over, and explained that

asked.

"Are you a member of the other

"Have you ever had vote of thanks by

"Well; these are the only privileged
persons.

who was, and if he chose he could take
me in.
"Have you any impudence?" he de.
manded. "Do you think you could be-
come so interested in my conversation as
not to notice the doorkeeper?"
told him there wasn't the least doubt
of ii il he would tell me one of his many
funny stories. Upon that he took my arm
and led me turn in the vestibule, talking
about some Indifferent matter, but all the
time directing my looks to his left hand.
toward which he was gesticulating with
his right.
In this manner we approached the door

ambassador? Governor of state? Mem

But caught Corwin's eye. which said
plainly, Don't mind him; paw attention

Making Things smooth for the Bsckr .
Of tho Great Unknown.

LONDON, Oct. 5.--The unknowns party.
find, are still squealing; 80, rather than
to have any bother and to stop further
bluffing, have now resolved 10 take them
at their word.
OF course, if they had issued challenge
TO Klrain for 5000 side and the Police
Gazette belt, my champion would have
been compelled to accept the offer.
But they have gone about their business
in quite another way, as. instead OF
issuing a challenge, they accept mine,
which was for $4,000 side. They cover
my first deposit Of $4,000 and then refuse
to put up any more money, thinking there
would be a fzzle over the amount.
| personally do not care a fig about the
forfeit, though, 10y failing to cover my
$4,000 and go on with the match accord
1000 now lying at the Paris Herald office
rightly belongs to Kilrain.
Anyway, so as 10 give the unknown
party no pretext whatever for any loop
hole, and to end the controversy--which
il appears TO be their sole aim to prolong
i have cabled instructions TO Mr.. w. +.
Harding, sporting editor OF the Police
Gazette, to 90 ahead with the match for
the amount they stipulate.--viz, $1,000
side, not less; but must have guaran-
tee from some responsible and respectable
American gentleman that their money
will be forfeited IL their man is not forth
coming on the day or in the event Of the
conditions of the articles being broken in
any way. The unknown, too, must be
named in the articles and the fight fixed
to come of inside OF three months.
Kilrain, of course, being the holder of
the belt, has the privilege to name the
lighting ground.
should prefer the match being for Sl0,-
900, but if no more than S5, 900 is forth
coming for the unknown will waive the
point.
On the day named by the hackers Of the
unknown my champion. Kilrain, will at
tend at the Clipper office, New York. at
any reasonable time they may appoint.

Here Is something for the little folks:
The following sermon was preached by u
boy years old at the funeral of a
pet bird. The bird belonged to little
girl and when it died she and her play
mates took it to park for burial. The
boy belongs to family in which there are
FIVE Baptist clergymen. HIS text was one
he had committed to memory at Sunday
school, have the sermon before me,
written in the childish hand of one who is
copy it verbatim:
''And |, if be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me-"
Birds can fly near to heaven, but never
can get there. If We don't have our hearts
full of Jesus, we. like birds, can never see
heaven. The poor bird is dead. We cam
not help it. Birds are gentle .hings. The
bird will never sing again. We are all
sinners; birds don't sin. When we do
right, we ought to feel happy. We often
sin. IL We wish to be cured of sin and be
ready to die, let us all ask Jesus to help us
do right and forgive us our sins. Amen. :"
Then the young preacher asked il those
present could sing, and they stood around
the little grave and sang, "Sally's in the
Garden Sitting Sand.
This really is boy preacher, My
friend who knows him says that he is a
charming boy and full of promise and use
funess. 1t is hoped that, long before he
enters college, the poison which wicked
greed would intuse in his pure mind and
heart may be totally eradlcated. The sal

THE FARMER AND CANADA.
How the Farmer Comes Into Com
petition With Foreign Producers.

As is now probably we'll known to the
farmers of the country, the Mills bill dis
eliminates against the farmer of this
country and In favor of the farmer of Can
ada. There is a protective tariff in the
Dominion which excludes our farm pro.
ducts, and it is suggested that our tariff
should be abolished. Canadian potatoes
now pay a duty of l5 cents a busbel. Last
year ,22S, ,405 bushels were brought from
Canada. The Mills bill proposes to make
them free, while Canada charges duty
of 10 cents bushel on potatoes imported
from the United States. Wool is made
free by the Mills bill. Last year Canada
sent to this country 1,6l0,l2 pounds of
wool. Beans pay duty of 10 cents and
peas of from 10 to 20 per cent. They are
placed on the free list by the Mills bill.
Last year 597, ,74l bushels of these vege-
tables were brought from Canada into the
United States. Canada's rates on them
are Is and 10 cents bushel. In other
words, the Mills bill would open up our
markets to the Canadian farmers, while
the Dominion keeps cut the farm products
of the United States. The amount of farm
products coming into the country from
Canada is very great. For example, in
1887 the following were some of the i'm
portant importations from the Dominiou
1868 cattle, 450,175 sheep, 1881 ,s95
bushels of barley, 277 $40 bushels of wheat,
1886, ,9l4 dozen eggs, 206. .203 bushels of
malt and barley, 234.756 pounds of butter,
1898, $50 pounds Of rice.
The farmers are more interested in the
tariff than they realize. A little more
rather than less protection would be good
for them

A Few Remarks on the Policy OF

A Few Remarks on the Policy OF
Protection Tersely Stated
Mr.. J. w. Donavan of Detroit, in a
speech at Shelby Michigan, recently said,
among other things:
The real profit is in the change of the
raw material, in the earth, and on the
earth, into articles of value. The protec-
tion act says in effect Let us make up
the earth of which we own so much. with
our increased population ,0O0,000 OF
whom are working in mills and factories;
let us take the iron ore lin the earth)
worth 40 cents ton, and melt 1t into
stoves, worth 800 stove: let us take the
timber and iron worth 81, and turn IL into
wagons worth S35. And we do it by max
ing 500 stoves day in one works at De-
troit, with 400 men at splendid wages and
making 10000 wagons year at Sonth
Bend, with | 500 men, at splendid wages !
And of S25 in material, we make a Shep-
ard threshing machine at Battle
Creek, worth Sl500, making ten machines
each week, and paying such wages that
houses for their children. Or let us take
5000 OF raw material and make it into a
car worth $40, 600 2200 such men are at
work ia the Michigan Car Company; or let
us make silver into watches as they do at the
great Elgin watch. works. 40. 900 "a year; or
earth into glass, as at Delray: or clay into
dishes, as in New Jersey, for in all these
places the earth is being turned into
riches, while labor is employed
for money and every article cheapened by
competition, and the money buys goods,
grain and lots and houses, and the pay
rolls of labor in our own country are the
very life of such bright places. All the
cities of the north are built up by pay
roll factories. Men are paying premiums
to induce them to locate. Talk to me OF
making money. It Is a gradual process
by farming. 1t is a quick process by the
factory. The nation has grown wealth in
all the bright cities north and south by
the plan have just mentioned. All these
pay.rols have grown up under protection,
and hundreds would be ruined and the
men turned out of work by the law of free
trade Mills bill.-.the bill that would kill
the salt industry; transfer the lumber in.
dustry to Canada; paralyze the iron and
tool industries; take off 10 cents more "a
pound on the farmers wool, and make
him compete with the heathens on the
hillsides of Australia. or slaughter his
herds and lessen the value of his lands in
the interest of the Mills bill. Where is

pered by the Mills bill panP Nowhere
Yet the 10000, 900 people of the north

Affair.

LOGAN, June s. Especial to THE HER

and downs. their Joys and sorrows,

is now feeling the effects of the last.
This is another unaccountable suicide,
the victim being one of our most popU-

8 o'clock, George Lewis, son OF our
highly respected towDspeople, Mr.. al d
Mrs. Enocn Lewis, left his home in Lo
gan to bring his sister Martha from
Benson Ward Arriving at Benson,
George went to the home of Mr.. Rob
ert Kewley, his brother in law; told
Martha that she was to return with
him, chatted about various things and
finally asked if they had shaving
outfit around. Mrs. Kewley said there
was one, and George hunted until be
found the boz, then went into an adjoin-
ing room as if to stand before class.
While out of sight, as the facts after
ward showed, he laid down the shaving
utensils, took the razor from its case
and put it into his coat pocket. Then
