Senator Yance,s Speech.

Senator Vance in discussing The
fisheries treaty in the Senate yes
terday SAID that a Presidential
election was coming on and the
Republicans realized that if they
were to get back into power some
thing must be done. And so they
denounced the fisheries treaty.
"All at once" said the Senator, "it
seemed as if while the Republicans
were journeying towards Damas-
Gus great light shown round about
them, and a voice was heard say
ing, why will you not raise a row
against Great Britain and get the
Irish vote Whereupon they
promptly responded, Lord, what
wouldst thou have us TO dos" And
the voice again SAID, Get thee TO a
place called caucus, and there it
shall be told thee what to dog
And so they assembled in that up
per chamber, and there the voice
was again made manifest and they
we're told that their only chance,
The only avenue opened up under
Heaven, whereby they might be
saved, was 10 raise a row with
Great Britain, appeal to the Irish
vote in this country and to the
votes of all,others whose preiudices
against that country can be made
available in the coming campaign
And that was the course adopted"
He said that all the eloquence of
he Republicans about whipping
and all the rage about al
eyed insults to the American flag
must be taken in a Pickwickian
sense. The blood Of the Briton
would not be necessary after all
10 appease the wounded honor of
Senator Frye a duty on fresh aud
a little higher duty on salt fish
would do it all.

THE LAND WHERE OUR DREAMS
COME TRUE,

Far over some mist-hidden river,
And under a wonderful sky,
Where the rain never blots out sun
shine
And our loves never weary or die
Where the flowers never fade-Lut il
changing,
Their magical sweetness renew,
Lies glorified realm of enchantmeut
The land where our dreams come
true
The mystical symbols aud tokeus,
We know of that beautiful land;
But alas on the threshold OF girlhood,
The frail clue slipped out of our hand
And the wild river wanders between us,
The white gates are hidden from view
And only IN sleep we remember
The land where our dreams come true
We shall find the lost treasure we seek for,
Revealed in that wonderful sphere
All the aims and the dreams of the by
gone,
All the good that eluded us here;
The innocent faiths of our childhood,
The one tlawless friendship we knew,
Arrayed in our vanished illusions,
In the land where our dreams come true
We know in diviuest falfillment,
Our vain hopes are gathered at home;
The jewels we mourn here are h,arded,
Where the moth and the rust cannot
come;
And oft when the sunset is fairest,
We catch, through rift in the blue,
A far away glimpse of the glories
OF the land where our dreams come true!
There are ganered the prayers Of our
mothers,
And the soft cradle songs that they
sung;
There they move in the midst with white
garments,
And faces Immortality young!
And out of the mists of that river,
TheiI dear hands shall reach us the clue,
That leads through the "Valley of Shad-
ow,"
To the land where our dreams come trGe |
So, weeping, we lay dewn our idols,
And bury our loves out of sight,
Though we know, in our hearts, we shall
find them,
BY and by, in the Mansions of Light :"
And the salt tears that fall on their ashes,
And bloom in paIsy and rue,
Even there shall be lilies immortal,
In the Land Where Our Dreams Come

"SOngs Of Solomon -

Editor Dam ocrat-Star:
l am no preacher, nor son of a
preacher, yet have something to
say about "The Preacher" or King
Solomon. So far as am Informed.
all men now teach that the book in
the Bible called Songs of Solomon
represent Christ and His Church.
That is, the lover represents Christ
and the sweetheart the Church.
THIS, | do not believe, and ask
some advocate of this belief to
show the Bible authority for his
belief. 1 believe the Songs of Sol
ONION represents Solomon when he
was a yOung man, with all his
strength, billions, passions and
weaknesses. Proverbs represents
him in middle and mature manhood,
with his great wisdom and knowI-
edge. Eccleslaslics represents him
i'll his old age when he has learned
and seen that all human efforts
and successes are but vanity, and
that the whole duty of man is to
"fear God and keep His command
ments ~
Locking at the three books in this
way we learn a grand lesson, for, if
King Solomon, who had all the
riches, honor, wisdom and power
declared them vanity and asnoth-
ing compared to serving God, what
will be the end Of US poor mortals,
who have none of the above bless
ings,
| do not see why Christian teach-
ers want to claim that the Songs
of Solomon represent Christ and
His Church. Solomon did not think
so as you can see by reading I'd
chapter of Ecclesiastics, from Ist
to 11th verses inclusive, where he
says he tried just such pleasures
as are written in the Songs of Sol
onion.
Then, in the 18th verse and those
following, he says he tried aciSdOm
as written in Proverbs, and found
them all vanity. This teaching
that Songs of Solomon represents
Christ and His Church is but one
of the many traditions of men, all
Of which are but "The Rubbish of
he Temple" under which the Holy
Scriptures are now partially COW
cred, as they were in the days of
King Josiah, as recorded in 21st
md 22d chapters of I'd Kings.
And as was done in that day,
earch and investigation must un-
over them. M. A. d.

MIR. AND MRS. BOWSER.
Mr.. BOWser Takes q Tnrn Among
Dry Goods and Grocery Stores.

| had mentioned a casual wa
that we needed some dishes, neV
carpet and some table linen, an
that | must go down town and bu,
Them, when Mr.. BOwser CAM
home at 2 o'clock one afternoon
and SAID;
"Well, are you all ready ~
"For what 2"
"Why, to so down and buy those
things"
"But / didn't know you wanted
to 90. Indeed, wish you would,
MT"
"Oh, you do! Are you ashamed
to be seen with me on the street 9''
"You know Pm not. Pm afraid
you-you-"
"Well, what 2"
you'll Jaw folks and get into a
quarrel"
Mrs. Bowser, are you getting
soft in the head9 Jaw folks ? Get
into a quarrel Humph! Are you
coming |"
We first visited the carpet store.
| had not yet made up my mind
whether to buy brussels or velvet,
nor whether TO get light or dark
colors. l expected to fake a chair
and have the clerk roll down about
fifty pieces of each kind, and to be
all of two hours making up my
mind. A second arranged the
windew-curtains, and a third in
quired of Mr.. Bowser:
"Did you wish to look at some
carpets 2"
Album! Light or dark col
orsg
"Light."
"But the dark are all the sty le,
you know"
81 don't know anything of the
sort There are plenty of white
horses and houses, and white shirts
and hats; and | don't know why
light carpets shouldn't be fashiona-
bic. Roll down this piece"
"Yes, sir; but you won't like it.
This dark pattern is what Mrs.
Governor Smith selected Tor her
front bed room"
"Yes. Well, | may get that for
my horse barn later on. Send up
a man to measure the room. Give
me that light pattern"
"Why, Mr.. Bowser p / snd.
i'You haven't selected already p
'sCertAnlyp
"But we've"
Five minutes is enough for any
one 10 select a carpet, Mrs. Bowser.
We want bOdy-brussels and we
want a light ground. That's all
here is toit. We will now 60 over
and buy the table linen."
"But can't / have time 10 look
aroundg"

Then she turned and killed me
over again, and gave her shoulders
twist and walked out of the store.
She had hardly departed when a
fresh arrival asked our clerk, busy
as he was, to show her some tea
spoons.
MADAME" said Mr.. Bowser, edo
you wish TO buy some spoons 2"
perhaps"
"Do you know whether you do
or not?"
"Why-I-I will look at them. .
VERY well; you sit down and
wait until | am through buying.
| came to buy, know what | want
and shall pay cash down"
II was killed again, and if looks
could have crushed Mr.. Bowser,
he'd have been a mangIed corpse
III ten seconds. We were only thir-
teen minutes buying the dishes,
and as we got out and reached the
car Mr.. BOwser said:
"MrS. Bowser, when you come
down town do you go fooling
around the stores and obstructing
doorwdys and crosswalks like the
women we have seen to-day 2"
IL guess l do"
And end up by buying four
cents worth of somethingW
Yes it Is The custom"
"And would it have taken you
three weeks to buy what we have
bought in two hours ~
"Yes, ST."
"Ihen Pll write this very day to
an idiot asylum and see if | can
squeeze you in! It's no wonder
every other one in Detroit is full of
scandal, and every other husband
wants a divorce,n

WASHED IN WATERMELON PULP
Miss Carrie Townsend, South St
Louis, tells the tollowing
/ always have a feeling of pity
for girls who have florid or sallow
compleXlons, or whose faces are
spattered with freckles, looking as
if they had been about when a
bran bin had exploded. l feel
sorry for them, not because of any
harm that the freckle5 do, for real.
ly | think them nice, as they are
evidence of a pure, light and
healthy complexion, but because
the removal of them or the sallow-
ness is so easy if they only knew
how. | accidentally discovered
sovereign remedy couple of years
ago, which costs next to nothing.
One day the plumber shut our wa
ter off and | could get nonein which
to wash my face, l was fearlully soil
ed, and looking out of the window
just then, | saw friend approach
ing to call on me. Glancing about
me | noticed half of a watermelon
from which the meat had been re-
moved sometime before. 1t was
partly filled with juice, and l hasti-
y washed my face in it. The result
was so soothing that l repeatedly
Washed my face in that manner. |
Judge of my astonishment a few
lays latter, on seeing that there
vas not freckle left on my face.
\ number of my girl friends then
ried it, and the result was a great
'eautifying of cOuntenance. No
natter what is wrong with the
ace, the juice of the watermelon
7ill rectiiy and produce a clear

ORIGIN OF A POLITICAL PHRASE
Senator Sherman says he thinks
he Is the author Of the phrase "go
ing home TO look after his fences
Once upon a time, the eve Of an
exciting election, he went to Ohio.
While there, thinking his home at
Mansfield might need some repairs,
he went there. A newspaper man
caught him and desired, after the
ingenious manner of his craft, to
know what the Senator had come
so Mansfield for. Senator Sherman
answered that he had come TO look
after his fences. That tickled the
newspaper man immensely, and
straightway he made it a classic IN
the American language.

We hear much about the labor
ing man. What honest man in
the land doesn't labor? We hear
it said that there is conflict be-
tween capital and labor. What
conflict The man who makes
money and becomes a rich man
does so by hard labor-he works
for it, and usually works harder af-
ter he becomes wealthy than he
did before. The mechanic works
eight hours a day, and when his
days work is done rests, or does
what he pleases. The man who
employs him and pays him his
wages works all the time, day and
night, yet nobody piIies him.
Does labor mean only manual toll
Does not a successful merchant la
bOrg Who works harder than law
yers and doctors, and who does so
much work for so little pay as edi-
tors and preachers 2 Does not the
young man as clerk or book keep
er work as hard as the young man
on farm or in the carpenter shop ?
Who Is this poor laboring man that
everybody is trying to oppress :
Where does he 1--we, and what does
he dol Is there not a mistake
somewhere about this matter as.
