ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS
MISCELLANEOUS.
HE RAN THE NIGHT EXPRESS.

met little girl one day,
Beyond the railroad bridge,
With pail OF berries she had picked
Along the banks high ridge.
where do You live my childr' said.
"And what may be your namer'
She looked at me with eyes askance.
And then her answer came:
.'The house upon the blum is ours;
They call me Bonnie Bessi
My father is an engineer,
And runs the night express"
A sparkle came into her face.
A dimple to her chin
The father loved his little girl,
And she was proud OF him.
''Ten. forty nine. on schedule limo
Scarce e'er n minute late),
Around tho curve his engine comes,
At quite a fearful rate.
1--WE watch the headlight thro' the gloom
Break like the dawn OF day
A roar, flash, and then the train
Is miles upon its way.
"A lamp in mammals window burns,
Placed there alone for him.
His face lights up, for then he knows
That all Is we'll within.
Sometimes fog o'erhangs tho gorge,
The light he can not see,
Then twice he whistles for mamma,
And clangs the bell for me-"
'And you're not afraid" I asked,
That he may wreck the trainf
That there may be sad mishap,
And he no wise To blame"
A pallor crept into her cheeks,
Her. red lips curled In pain;
They parted, then serencly smiled
Her heart was brave again.
God watches over u.s." she said,
''And He knows what Is best;
So we have but to pray and trust,
And leave TO Him the rest"
How great that childish faith OF horsl
II made my own seem weak;
Ibent my he ad with throbbing heart
And kissed her on the check
said to her, in CHEEKY tone:
God bless you, Bonnie Bessi
God bless your mother and the man
Who runs the night expressl"

in forcible language decidedly objected
to the plan carried out by the collec-
tors of CHI ating Republicans out of
their votes by cheating the county out
OF the taxes that they should have paid
and would have paid had the collec-
tors not taken special pains not to call
upon them for their taxes, and TO be
away on other business when they
called at The collectors office to pay.
We were only met with ridicule, how
ever, for otr strong desire to get the
collectors TO collect, and we were told
that those who wouldn't pay their
taxes ought to lose their votes and
even with The fate of Ananias in their
memories They denied that the collec-
tors had NOT used due diligence in the
collection DIT taxes.
We are glad to see that something
has at last come over the spirit of their
dreams and our contemporaries have
come all he way over TO ourside, and
are now clAmoring as Justify as Re-
publlcans for collectors TO do their
duty and cbllect the poll taxes. Let
us hope that hereafter, we shall never
