Red, tangled in with blue, purple and gold;
'1is thus in colors, the Days life is told,
Asst neas its close, ere Twight's dusfy bars
Are nailed In place by Nights close driven stars.
The crimson tells it, tale without my word
of bleeding hearts, whose means the Day has
heard
The blue Of Hope. which from Griefs font doth
rise
In more trahsplendcnt life toward the skies;
The purple Earth's ambitious ones bespeaks
Asst proudly wraps from sight tbe mountain

It's tint has softly touched, and vet ascends
Till all the gathered glory with it blends
Then, DER It all a shining glory gleams
Yea, In the red OF suffering It streams,
And rims the blne; prophecy as well
or bliss beyond as limit TO Hopes spell
And, yes, the purple mingles with the gold,
And its career the lips Of light have told;
And then in conscious grandeur sinks away
At the approach OF NightLanother Day

No Mud on All SINS shoes.

Fung-Long, n Chinaman, writes as
follows in the st. Louis Gtobe-Densocrat;
Nobody ever saw q Chinaman with
muddy shoes no matter what the
weather was, unless some hoodlums
had pushed him into a puddle. We
take care of our feet instinctively. and
get into the habit of walking carefully.
Ii you watch on muddy crossing you
will ee one American after another
pick his way cautiously, and yet land
on the other side with mud on his toes.
while the Chinaman will walk along
after them at his usual gait, seemingly
not noticing his feet, step on the other
curb with not particle of mud on the
tops of his shoes. But when he crossed
the street he did not walk as the Ameri-
cans did. Had he done so he would
have been as muddy as they. They
stepped along gingerly on their toes,
or, at least the front of the foot.
In this way they put all the weight
of their body on the thinnest part OF
the shoe, from top to bottom, and
when it tiattened out with each step
the mud touched the leather. The
Chinaman walked over with the weight
of his body on the heel and instep Of
the shoe, and the toe barely grazing
the ground. The part of the shoe that
felt his weight was firm and unyield.-
ing. and did not spread into the mud.

ODD FELLOWS AT CHICAGO.
They Begin Their Competitive Work and
Have Dress Parade.

u
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The city is rapidly
filing up with Patriarchs Militant and
Odd Fellows, and the music of brass
bands is frequently heard as some hand
somely-uniformed company swings out Of
the railway station and marches to the
hotel selected as its headquarters. 1t was
estimated at headquarters that about 12,-
900 or IA, 600 Odd Fellows were already in
the city, with. of course, IN immense
train of followers and friends. The big
day is not expected until Thursday, when
it is confidently said that upward of 50,-
600 Odd Fellows will be in line. "Within
twelve hours ride of Chicago" said one of
the generals, "there are 100000 members
of our order, and the way they will swarm
in here tonight and tomorrow morning
will surprise you"
Beginning of the Competitions.
The contests in exemplifcation of sub
ordinate lodge work began yesterday
morning at Battery d armory and the
lodges that took part were Garden City,
No. $50, and Wicker Park, No. 2Sl, both
of Chicago. The contestants In the prize
drill in the afternoon were. Glass A:
Canton Occidental No. 1, Chicago; Can
ton Ohio No. /, Columbus, o. Glass B:
Canton London. of London Ont, and Can
ton Buffalo, No. s, of Buffalo, N. Y,
(Which failed to appear in time).
The judges were Lieut.. Reed, (retired)
q. S. A; Capt. James Rockwell, U. S. A.,
and Capt. A. II. McCauley, U. S. A.
The Drills They Put Up.
Buffalo canton, not being on hand,
Canton London No. !, of London, Ont,
was the first to enter the lists. They
showed up we'll in general appearance,
and did fairly we'll in the drill. Canton
Ohio No. l, Columbus, O., came next.
Their soldierly appearance was loudly
cheered, their sword exercise evoked ap-
plause, but they We're weak in their
marching evolutions. The third compet-
ing canton was Occidental No. /, of Chi
cago. They were greeted with an ova-
tion. Their marching was especially fine,
and other movements excellent.
Formed I'm Dress Parade.
The dress parade was late in forming,
owing to the delay caused by the prize
drill that preceded it, Ten cantons of uni
formed Patriarchs took part. The move
ments were gone through with clockwork-
like precision, and the sight was an inspir-
ing one. After the dress parade Il general
review had been ordered, and the cantons
in front marched past Gen. Nicholson
and his staff, after which they broke
ranks Sightseers in great numbers occu-
pied not only the grand stand in Lake

and roofs of dwellings and hotels in the

The Worlds Fair Legislation Completed
in Good Shape.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug IA protest
was presented in the senate yesterday,
signed by 5000 Chicagowest siders, against
the location of the Worlds fair at Jackson
park. A conference committee was ap-
pointed on the disagreement of the house
to the senate amendment to the constitu-
tional amendment resolution providing
that Chicago alone shall pay the bonds
authorized if they are paid at all, the un-
standing being that the house objected to
the words 'if at ALL" as suggesting pos
sibility of failure to redeem. The COM
mittee retired and soon returned with
report striking out the Objectionable
words and the report was adopted. The
senate then adjourned.
The Worlds fair enabling bill was taken
up by the house with amendments rec
commended by the judiciary committee.
Most of amendments were agreed to, the
most important one providing that the
eight-hour law shall be observed on all
work connected with the erection of build
ings and that only American citizens
shall be employed thereon. The confer
ence report on the disagreement as to the
words @if at all" in the provision of the
constitutional amendment resolution
declaring that the state shall not be called
upon to pay any of the bonds authorized,
was received and adopted. 1t strikes out
the words. The resolution now goes to
the governor.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug. 2.-The first
thing the house did yesterday was to
adopt joint resolution providing for ad-
journment sine die of the two houses at
the close of the days session. Resolu-
tions of respect to the memory of the
late ex-Speaker Miller and Emanuel Sto-
yer, w. NJ. Evans, Joshua White, and
Henry Decker, ex members of the legisla-
ture, were adopted, and the Worlds fair
enabling act was then passed as amended
Thursday and sent to the senate. That
body having disagreed to the eight-hour
and submerged lands amendments,
the matter went to conference and the
house receded from the first and agreed to
a provision in the second that under no
circumstances should the lands reclaimed
be given over to- corporation. This
agreement was ratified by the house,
Mooney, the author of the eight hour
amendment to the enabling act, which was
dropped by the house, offered that amend
ment in the form of a joint resolution and
it was unanimously adopted. 1t requests
the fair directors as far as possible to
adopt the eight hour plan and employ
only American citizens. The house then
adjourned sine die.
In the senate the enabling act was i'm
mediately taken up and the eight-hour
amendment and one providing that all
land recovered from the lake shall be the
property of Chicago to be forever main
tained as a park were rejec:ed, and the
bill sent to conference. The conference
agreed rs reported above in the house
record, and the agreement was adopted by
the senate, which, after adopting MONEYS
joint resolution, adjourned sine die.

NEW YORK, Aug. A special to The

his way to the front, and said in a ringing
voice, with clenched fist and glowing

As politics is just what the general goes
anywhere for this year he was some what
taken aback, but recovering himself he
said it was all right, and then proceeded
for an hour with discussion of crime and
punishment, in which he gave general
history of the subject and some advice as
to the duty of citizens in making efforts
to decrease crime. His conclusion was an
appeal to his hearers to- save the criminal
before he became n criminal-in other
words to prevent crime by improving the
