CATCHING A DIMPLE.
The rosaa kiaaad her shadow

The roses kissed her shadow,
The zephyrs b1ither blew.
And the little grasses quiyered
As they touched her dainty shoe;
The branches bent to greet her,
While the riilets ran 70 meet her,
And the summer morn was sweeter
As she tripped along the dew.
She stopped and plucked daisy
To bind amid her hair,
And seemed to see it Laughing
With the rapture to be there.
No fairer nymph Apollo
Ever chased DER hill and hollow;
And could not choose but follow,
Though she led me TO despair.
2 With waning hope to win her,
And many fear to miss.

Along the road to bliss.
But love ne'er wins by weeping,
So when with pulses leaping
saw q dimplp peeping
caught it with q kiss.

CHICAGO. March 11.-Within the next
twenty-iour hours there will be joint
conference in this city of the Grievance
Committees of every road leading eastward
from Chicago. Telegraph orders 10 this

called 10 consider the existing condition OF
affairs and the steps, if any, that should be
taken by the men of eastern roads 10 AID
the Burlington strikers.
The decision of Judge Gresham IN the
Wabash case will naturally have much 10
do in deciding the question. but there is a
very strong feeling that conservative views
will obtain and that no radical action viii
be resolved upon. Conversations with
several of the Pan Handle aud Fort Wayne
men who came in this afternoon. indicate
that they are strongly inclined to the opin-
ION that the Burlington strikers can be
more efiectually aided in other directions
than by general strike. At the
same time the yexed question OF
the handling OF Burlington freight
by other roads remains unsettled, and ii Is
recognized that the issue must be met be-
fore many days. There are very good
grounds ior the statement that in the event
of the Wabash case being decided in favor
OF the Burlington the latter road will take
proceedings against every other road that
declines TO exchange traffic.
The Wabash hearing viii be resumed in
the United States Circuit Court tomorrow
afternoon, but il is not thought that de-
cision will be rendered until Tuesday or
Wednesday at least.
