HEREAFTER.

Shall we not weary in the MINDLESS days here.
after?
Still to the land we love our Iongings cling,
The dear, vain world of turmoil and unrest.
Some time, asks one, in heavenly ways
When we shall walk immortal,
When, all-bewildered in the maze,
We pass the shining portal,
And go through stately streets and see
When that our sight is filter
The waving of the palms, ah me!
The gold and Jasper glitter;
When all the ways we walk among
Seem strange and wondrous, wholly,
When that our ears hear only sung,
The "HOly, holy, holy.'
Shall we not strain our eyes to see
With homesick tears to blind US
VIII not our tears a-weary be
For the old life left behind us?
Some time, when we at GODS white throne
As His angels veil our faces,
VIII there be on our lips no moan
For earth's familiar places?
Shall we not hunger for the sight
Offaces we shall miss there?
And long for earth, to say "good night,n
And the human lips to kiss there?
We wonder-but what speech can tell?
VIII homeSick hearts be clinging-
When over fields of asphodel
Breaks forth the choral singing
To the olden songs we used to list
The songs that, thro the rifting
OF earthsome cares, up there we've missed
To hOmeSick souls come drifting?
How will it be in the other lands?
With parted lips in signing,
We ask, while in our claSping hands
The flowers we plucked are dying
How will it be? With bleeding feet
And eyelids hot with weeping
We wonder, midst the noontide heat,
If heaven means rest and sleeping.
o earth With thy delirious strife,
Thy feverish thirst-thy sorrow,
Thy titful dream that men call life,
That ends with some tomorrow
What will it be? We say good night,
And kiss the lips that brought us bliss,
And turn us faceward to the light
That falls from other lands than this
And lay us down with sleep-lade eyes
With, in our ears, the singing
OF thine haif-broken lullabieS
That sunset tints are bringing
Within our clinging hands the flowers
We plucked, and kissed, and cherished.
And held through all the weary hours
When strength and courage perished,
And fall asleep, as children do
Whose checks bear tears underlying
Within whose hearts old griefs are new,
Whose quivering mouths are signing;
Yes, fall asleep, and so forget
The things our hearts are breaking,
And where the sun doth never set
Somewhere will come the waking.

THE GREAT NORTHERN TOWN.

In the Flathead valley-some Facts About
It's Growth and Surroundings.
A reporter of The INDEPENDENT found j.
B. Conner, president of the Kalispell Town
company at Hotel Helena last night and
sought the latest news from the new town.
Mr.. Conner appeared at first disinclined to
talk much, giving as a reason that Kalispell
was not a boom town, but was growing
rapidly from legitimate causes and along
legitimate lines.
How many houses are up and building
there?"
"Well, if you propose to have some facts,
| want them accurate. The town site was a
beautiful prairie on April q last. and the
first house was begun the next day, and in
about fifteen days later there we're forty
five houses either up or building. 1t would
have been over 100 if lumber could have
been secured, but the supply of lumber was
far below the demand"
Then the purchasers OF lots were not

that we put a clause in the sales contract

dition Of sale are building about as rapidly
as those inside. 1t ia not q boom town, but

DANGEROUS FREIGHT.

A Cargo That Steamship Men Do Not
LiSc to Carry.
The recent discussion as to whether
ocean liners should carry cotton as we'll
as passengers, and at the same time
has brought out another fact. 1t is,
says the New York Recorder that they
carry Other kinds of freight that makes
the danger of fire just as great as from
cotton. a person who knows some
thing of such matters states that Just at
present there are being made large i'm
portationS of French silk that are cs-
pecially dangerous rs freight.
AT present importers here the gen
tleman said, "arc receiving large con-
signmcnts of hcavy-dyed silk known
as French twist. The French manufac-
turcrs do not spare the dye of these
goods, for it adds to their weight. In
this dye chemicals of peculiar kind
arc used. and it is this fact that makes
this silk dangerous freight.
''Thcrc is always fear of spontaneous
combustion unless the greatest care is
taken in packing the goods These
come in bales of various sizes, but gen
orally averaging about five hundred
pounds. They are wrapped in cotton
bagSing with underlying layers of
straw and brown paper, and are made
compact by hydraulic pressure. There
is constant danger of fire originating
from them, and they must be watched
with care while in transit There have
been cases where bales have been de-
stroycd from the causes mentioned, and
not many years ago u serious fire was
caused on Il French steamer by these
same goods"
Steamship Iacn generally say that
they arc aware OF the danger of carry
ing these silks, and that the greatest
care is taken whenever they are car
ried as freight. One or two lines. in
deed, discriminate against This freight
and will not carry it.

Mules stronger Than Horses.

The chief reason why mule can
nearly always wear out n horse, when
it comes to a trial of endurance, is that
the former always lies down to sleep,
and the latter. in large number of
cases, sleeps standing up. The habit
seems to ccmc to horses which have
been hurt. especially when in the stable.
and they cannot be broken of it. Be-
sides the absence of proper rest and the
constant danger of q heavy fall and con-
scquentinjury, this habit of standing up
to go to sleep results in the giving way
of the front knees and gives the ami
NAL prcmaturely aged and crippled
condition. A walk through any large
stable at night will show q number OF
horses standing up, but fast asleep, and
whether these use three or four legs to
stand upon, tho knees of the forelegs
are all baggy. With NUE., of course,
1t is quito different, for Jack" lies
down the moment he finds work is real
~ over, and somnambulistic mule Is
seldom II ever met.
