Three Poets.

Three poets stood before the king,
Longing, as poets do, to sing;
The first, in clownish garb arrayed,
With jingling bauble ever played;
Over his perky face the while
Fitted u sheer or else u smile.
Well groomed the second was. and neat,
In proper dress from head TO feet:
a mirror of the fashion he,
And ruddy checked and fair to see;
The third stood aear with dropping head,
Undermined and pale as are the dead.
ooh, king, hcar Inc" the first one cried:
~ have no Thought on earth beside
10 make you laugh, forget yonr care.
No sacred thing my song shall spare;
OF Joy or grief it's yours to quaif,
Be wise with me, oh king. and laugh
And thus tho second urged his claim:
Hear me, oh king, for / can frame
Ballndc, rondeau and villnnelle;
Sonnets by me are finished well,
And ! can destly, truly play
Upon the mocting t~riolet.
More tricks | know Of phrase and word,
Than ever yet by man was heard:
Strange terms, expressions obsolete,
Trip through my lines on dainty feet;
And when the thought seems weak and
poor,
L screen II WIN IL phrhse oDSuFe.
Slowly the third began to speak:
His voice at first was low and weak,
But soon his words rang clearer, higher,
Until his wondroas eyes caught fire:
And then u light from heaven shed
Sat halowise upon his hetd.
No leave asked he Of court or king,
He sang Us those who die or sing:
\ strain prophetic, weird, sublime,
Tho voice and meaning of all time;
Rhymster and clown forgotten lie,
The poets song shall never die.

whose office is in st. Paul, has received
a letter of instructions from Secretary
of the Treasury William Window,
which says:

hereby directed to convene board for the
purpose of designating local inspector of
boilers of steam vessels and local inspector
of hulls of steam vessels for the district of

You will report the action of the bo ard.
when completed, to this department. for con-

The board is to take the place of the
one at Gelena, H., which was abolished
by act Of congress to take effect July 26.
That board was composed of Capts.

Knapp and Yeager will doubtless be

ability and fitness for the positions are
recognized by those who have known
them. Supervising Inspector Sloane
saws he regards these men as the proper
ones to be put on the board, and they
should have the positions. He also said
that he desires to keep such officers out
of politics, and to apply the test of abil-

A Local Firm Sues the Combine
for Rebate on Prices.
The Mast, Buford and Burwell COM
pany has commenced an action against
Kingman & Co. to recover 81, 1852. 1t
is alleged that Kingman s. Co. agreed
to sell the plaintiff, during the summer
of 1890, a lot of binding Irvine at the
rate of twelve and one-half cents per
pound for one grade, and fourteen and
three-f0urthS cents per pound for an
other grade. In case the National Cord
age company or Kingman g. Co. sold any
Irvine during the season at lower
rate than the above then Kingman & Co.
agreed to pay the plaintiff the differ
ence that its Irvine would cost above
the other reduced prices. King
man & Co.. sold plaintiffs Irvine
amounting to So, 542. "a at the prices of
twelve and half and fourteen
and three-quarters cents per pound.
1t is claimed that Kingman 81 Co. and
the National Cordage company did sell
large quantities of Irvine to other par
ties at cents per pound lower than
the rates agreed upon with the plaintiff.
The plaintiff gave its notes to Kingman
d Co. for S49, 970.49. 1t is claimed that
the PLAINTIFF is entitled to a reduction of
$627.67, including interest on notes. The
plaintiff claims that it should not be
compelled to pay the full amount of the
bill because of the prices first named,
and that it is entitled to have 81, 1852

The Single Tax Apostles Take a
New Life Lease.
The Single Tax league held a meet
ing at Labor hall last night. President
H. G. MeCarty read an interesting
paper, in which he viewed the present
state of affairs as viewed from the
standpoint of a single tax theorist-
r. S. Morgan stated that he would be
unable to give attention to the duties of
a secretary, whereupon &. G. Madison
was chosen as assistant secretary.
r. j. Brown and E. Hermann were
elected as delegates to the reception to
Henry George in New York city OIL his
return from Europe Sept. 1.
1t was determined to hold an election
of officers and reorganize tine club about
the middle of September.
MeSSrs. Hermann and McCarty
spoke against the taxation of the whole
people of St. Paul for the purpose of
helping to build the Selby avenue
bridge. They thought the people inn
mediately benefited should pay the ex-
pense, and that the principle OF taxing
the people for private use is not in ac-
cord with the views of the single tax
disciples.
