MOONLIGHT ON THE LAKE

In the autumnai cleaning, sad and chilli.
Ihe moorland mere in silent slumber Law:
Onruf1ed were its waters, darkly gray,
AND all its sentinel reeds stood stiff and still:
Inc peewit's last good night fell clear and
shrill,
Inc west was dusky brown with dying day.
When came across the heather far away.
The CLEAN of moonrise DER the distant hill.
Like flame that flashes through the cannon
smoke
A full moon climbed above the swaying frs
The rushes felt that herald breeze of hers:
They whispered to the water tina awoke,
Athwart it's face a golden ripple broke,
And the queen kissed her nightly worshipers

In a Street Car,

There was a typical bit of life shown
IN a recent incident in a Brooklyn street
car. Two fashionably dressed
strangers to each other, and each with
a child on her lap, found themselves
seatmates in a crowded car. The hand
some blue eyed boy on one knee O
fell a victim to the coquetries OF the
dainty little maiden with golden curls
and soft brown Eyes on the other, and
to the mutual satisfaction of the parents
a pretty little filtration went on.
Farther up the car on the other side a
plump, rosy checked miss of two years,
a comfortably clad but evidently poor
child, stood against her mother and ad-
street the mother of the boy signaled to
stop. kiss the baby" she said, as she
stood the little fellow on his feet, mean
ing of course Miss Golden Hair, and he
turned to obey.
At that moment, however, the other
little girl, making her way out with her
mother, was exactly abreast Of him, and
Master Blue Eyes, finding this little face
before him, promptly bestowed a sound
ing, hearty smack upon it,. And every
body smiled, while the prince was led
out, the beggar maid wonderingly went
her way, and the disappointed princess,
who had leaned forward for the royal
salute, buried her face in her mothers
cloak, learning thus early in life the bit
ter truth that the kiss is not always for
the one who expects it.-Her Point of
View in New York Times.

London's Yearly Fruit Supply.

In one year the quantity of fruit IN
loaded at London bridge was no less than
17,7l6,O 900 bushels, the value of which
was estimated at S2s, 94O, 900. This
chiefly consisted of apples, oranges,
lemons, onions and potatoes, the two
latter, though not strictly coming under
the appellation Of fruit" being reck-
oned in with the rest.-ExChange.

Among the Mills.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin SAYS:
Reports of new enterprises in the cotton
goods industry continue to be received, and
the manufacturing columns this week con-
tain another long list of new mills and of
additions made. Everywhere in the coun-
try confidence as to the future of business
is shown, and mill architects and engineers
are very busy. New wooden mills are also
being planned and the industry is in fairly
good shape. Two new knitting factories
are reported, and a New York factory that
had been shut down was started up this
week.
The event of interest in the leather in
dustry is the termination Of the long strike
of the morocco 6ressers at Lynn. These
men, l2.CoO in all, quit work as long ago as
last August, and until this week the strike
has been declared on" though the manu-
facturers long ago succeeded in getting
plenty of non-union help, and it is not
probable that more than 800 of the original
dressers will be able TO secure work in the
Lynn factories.
The window glass situation is improving.
One of the largest manufacturers in the
country has advanced his quotations about
20 per cent, and the indications are that the
smaller producers will follow his example.
REPORTS from ST. Louis state that the man
ufacturars of plate glass have come TO q
general agreement to advance prices 20 to
80 per cent. This is welcome news. The
war of producers in St. Louis has been
long and bitter one. prices have been cut to

The advocate., 1891-12-16

JOE HUDSON, who sheds 80 many
bitter scalding tears lest the full legal
tender paper currency in which the
supreme council of the farmers alli-
ance proposed that pensions to old
soldiers should be paid may be de-
preciated, has never a word to say in
condemnation of the act Of Republi-
can congress by which the currency
in which they were paid while in ac-
tusl service was PURPOSELY de-
preciated, and the vast amount Of
which they were robbed by act of
Congress was transferred to the ca
paclous pockets of the bondholders.
o, consistency! What fraud!
The advocate., 1891-12-16

The esteemed Atchison Champion
Of the 9Th inst. presents it's reasons
with a long editorial article on the
subject of Socialism Illustrated" and
uses country roads as the illustration.
Did it ever occur to the Champion
that if the people who have in charge
the care of the country roads were
paid a fair salary for their time and
labor as is done with the managers Of
railroads, etc, the county roads would
probably be kept in as good condition
as the railroads! There is no work
or business SO well paid for as that Of
the government service.
The advocate., 1891-12-16

BANKING is the chief factor in the
mechanism of exchange. When the
producers of wealth, have sufficient
intelligence, to provide themselves
currency at cost, by which to effect
