Our mothers work is done; the sweet
pale face
Is smooth and calm; we mourners
now may trace
A smile Of peace upon the lips that
close
Together like the leaves of a red rose.
Her thin white hands are folded on
her breast;
So long have they toiled, well have
they earned their rest!
The heart that throbbed for fathers
grief is still;
Poor patient heart! of pain it had its
fill.
Through loss and failure, trouble, grief
and care,
Through days of storm and shine. in
dark and fair,
When fortune frowned or crushed with
sin and shame,
To our dear mothers knee "we chill
dren" came.
Her love was changeless as the sea and
deep;
And when we came the tender ewes
would weep
Hot tears to soothe our grief and she
would fain
All our perplexing cares unravel
plain.
Her SCARED hands now are tender, soft
and white;
Her sad, dim eyes are fearless, clear
and bright;
Her worn. pale face is calm-all pain
is past;
Our Door tired mother has foup1 rnUt

The Lobbyist and His Fee.

Most lobbyists get their pay promptly,
but one well known man, who had been
promised $40 900 for a job. collected it
only after using strategy. The parties
for whom he worked claimed there was
no visible evidence that he was doing
anything for them, and he had been un-
able to convince them that he had been
of any service. So he went to Senators
Plumb and Ingalls, and said he was COM
ing in to see them with the interested
people. He was going to buster around
and lay the law down in way that
would make his employers stare The
two senators agreed to the joke. and the
lobbyist appeared before each Of the
Kansas senators. He stormed to ingalls,
and gave orders to Plumb about what
he wanted done. His employers stared
in fear and surprise. Both Kansans en-
tered into the spirit of the thing and ap-
parently submitted ingloriously. The
strangers were convinced that their man
was regular Mogul, and inside of
few hours the lobbyist had his money

The Prohibition Party.

The indianapolis Nonconformist has
an editorial on the Indiana state conven-
ton of the Prohibition party. in which it
SAYS
The platform adopted is one that we
can commend, and, other things being
satisfactory. we could indorse it. If in
this campaign any contest must ensue
between us and them it will not be
directed against their platform. The
reason we cannot go with that party is
a belief that it does not comprehend the
real conditions and that it does not pre-
sent the most efficient remedies in proper
order. The traffic in intoxicating liquors
should be fought politically from the
economic side. Any other presentation
will prove fruitless at this time, and we
cannot subordinate the tremendous in
terests of the people who are suffering
from hydra headed monopoly to this one
line of attack. Chairman Dickey says
that his party must keep its skirts clear

recover some of their old potency in 1898
