BULLS AND BEARS.

The farmer with the banker ranks;
Hes not afraid of bulls and bears;n
He manages substantial banks,
In which he holds advancing shares
Tender his lambs, fit for the slaughter;
Lively" the stock he has to water.
His banks are banks of loan and clay,
He shares his plow-shares in the mould.
Nature he trusts, and gets his pay
In dividends OF green and gold
His margins" are in fields grown over
With crops, and ne can live in clover"
His stock if down is sure to rise
When he ''calis' white face" spot" and
''roan;"
And he is ''cute" and worldly wise
When SPECTATORS ask loan.
He prospers well at money-making
Fen when his richest banks are breaking.
The farmer with his spanking" team,
''Lightfoot' and Swift" can sweep the
plain.
His splendid sorrell' and his cream"
Will take no dust" with might and
name;
They speed in triumph fast and faster,
Uphill and down without diaster.
His face is bronzed, his hands are brown,
But on his name there is no stain.
He sleeps well when his stock is down,
For well he knows twill rise again.
And when time brings fate's rainy weather
He'll discount what he's put" together.
In field and orchard we behold
The plowman's promissory notes.
His green backs are redeemed with gold,
And not with ''stuf" the broker floats.
His best protection his good sense is,
Nor bulls nor bears break down his fences.

The president of the Alaska Com

picture of the way the resources OF
that territory have been dissipated by
reckless handling. Even the seal in.
dustry, which was supposed to be
efficiently protected, has suffered by
the loss of 60 900 seals illegally killed
this season; while tho salmon supply,
which was thought to be inexhaustib bic,

DENNIS LUCK.
pY WILLIAM G. PATTEN,

Dennis Lowry was bis name, but every
one who knew him called him Denny.
He was a tall, rather good-looking, yet
slouchy-appearing young fellow of TWEEN
ty-two or three. He had always lived in
the sleepy little country village of New
ton and every one for miles around knew
him. He was called lazy and shiftless,
and it was true that he had never excited
himself great deal to prove the charge
false. He was inclined to lay his poor
circumstances to luck. Worse than
being born poor, he had been unlucky.
This was what he told himself, but peo-
pie who knew him, averred that he had
never made any vigorous attempt to
change his luck. Denny wns dreamer.
It was his delight to wander away through
the woods or fields, and to lay al alone
amid the sweet-scented grass and watch
the clouds as they sailed along above, or
to follow the swift fight of the swallows
a. they circled and whirled at dizzy
heights. He would lie thus for hours
with his mind filled with wild fancies of
the future when his luck had changed.
Denny had a poets soul, but lacked a
poets power of expression.
Denny and INA Porter grew up to-
gether. They were playmates while chill
dren, and their friendship seemed to
grow stronger as they became older.
Denny was so kind and gentle that he
seemed much like girl himself. INA
was little, dark-eyed, red-lipped witch,
whose very soul seemed always audible
with mirth. She was unlike Denny in
many respects, yet something seemed to
bind them together.
Denny never knew when he began to
love Inza. It seemed to him that he had
loved her always. She seemed part of
bis life, and his dreams by night and by
day were colored by her presence. And
80 the days became weeks, the weeks
months, and the months years, still
Denny was the same shiftless, dreaming,
unlucky fellow.
One night they wandered away across
the fields to an old moss-covered wall,
where they stopped to watch the sunset.
INA sat down upon fiat stone and Denny
dung himself at her feet. The sun had
Just sunk behind the western hills, but
the purple and gray clouds were painted
with the various colors of damask, crimson
and molten gold. A rich purple haze
hung about the distant hills, and stretched |
down over the woodlands, growing
fainter and fainter as the distance became
less. A little stream wound through the
hollow at their feet, from the farther side |
Of which came the plaintive bleat of |
lamb. A slowly circling crow shouted |
noarsely from away in distant wood.
For several moments they sat there en-
raptured at the beautiful scene. Finally |
ina spoke:
''Isnt it beautiful, Dennya" she
oreathed.
He drew long breath as though a
'weet spell had been broken, and his eyes
sought hers.
Beautiful" he whispered, in soul
thrilling way. '.Yet the word does not
Express it. Painter or poet cannot repro
luce the beauty, the peace, the love Of
Tod there is in such scene"
