The following original poem We
read Columbus day, by Miss Ann
Ladd:
| Columbus sends greeting
Across the waters wide,
To the land where our brave hero
Columbus lived and died.
With heart as warm and constant
AS his own Italian sun,
Never swerving from his purpose
Till his glorious work was done.
Till the naughty Spanish monarchs
STOPPED to aid him in his quest,
While their ScOrnful cOurtiers laughed
At dreams of riches in the west.
On bright September morning,
Sailed the little vessels three,
Oct to meet the storms and perils
OF wide and unknown sea.
Oh the days and nights of waiting,
While the boats sailed on and on,
| Till the st0uteSt hearts had tainted
| And their hope was almost gone.
Dreadful dreams of Storm and shipwreck
Haunted oft the sailors sleep,
And his waking visions pictured
Hideous monsters in the deep;
Till at last the goOd,mate faltered,
''Stars and winds have failed us now,
What sayest thou, good admiral,
Shall we turn the Pinta's PROV 2"
And Columbus answered sadly,
For his faith began to fail,
'If we sight not land tomorrow,
We will surely backward sail"
But the hand that never fails us,
Lied him to the promised land"
And ere t0morr0w's sun had set,
He was kneeling on its strand.
Land of beauty, land of plenty,
Land OF treasures yet unknown,
Stretching northward, southwark, westward
Till it touches every zone.
Four centuries have passed away,
But the New World" yet remains, --
Far surprising tickle CASTLE,
Where Columbus died in chains
And the children of our country,
North and south, and west and east,
Celebrate Columbus conquest,
The blest victory of peace.
For the greatest of earth's prizes
Without bloodShed, he won;
And the story of Columbus
Has been told from son to son.
Though he sought but empty riches
When to these shores he came;
He has gained throughout all nations
A hero's deathless fame.
When the world to our Chicago,
Proud metropolis of the west,
Comes bringing of its trophies
All the prOudest and the best.
Let our nations glorious emblem
Float aloft upon the breeze,
Bearing the three-fold inscription
Union, Liberty and Peace.
We will send joyful message
To all nations far and near,
And Wen bid them hearty welcome
To the land to us so dear.
For the blood of heroes bought it,
And they raised our flag on high,
SO let every voice in hearing join in
With freedoms cry.
Let us cheer for brave Columbus
And the homeland of the free,
For our heroes dead and living,
Who have fought for liberty.
For our glorious starry banner.
Let it wave from every mount,
And don't forget to finish
With three cheers for our Vermont.

lived in Cowlitz county since 1875. He was
born in Vermont and spent portion of his
life in California before coming to the State
of Washington. He is a successful farmer,
residing near Stella He is an honest, con
scientiOuS man and has served one term in

serve the people than a new man. He
would, as he always has been, a repreSen-

but would favor such acts that would bene-

Jew or Gentle could go to him and he
would see that justice was melted out to all.
| Vote for honest Eugene Brock for the leg
iSlature."
Mr.. Eugene Brock was born in New
bury and was the son of William Wal
lace Brock of South Newbury. His
many friends who knew him here will
be glad to learn of the success, to hear
of the popular esteem and respect for
him, which eighteen years of assiduous
toll have earned. We are always pleas
ed to see prosperity come to the pro-
geny of Vermont and to realize that
the old stock fourishes in a new soil.
1t is also a satisfaction to notice that
although Mr.. Brock is farmer, yet
he is a candidate for the legislature,
showing that in the state of Washing
ton the people have great confidence in
the farmer, provided of course, he is
man of parts.

Taking Thackeray Serinnslx.

The Obscurity in which Thackeray
has left the beginning of Newcome,
Bart, is an instance of his forgetfulness
about his people which, glaring as it is,
has hitherto escaped comment. Thomas
Newcome, the elder, is said to have
been "the founder" of the Newcome
family. We are given to understand
that he was founding. Up to the
time of his demise there was no New
come, Bart. Mr.. Newcome might
have been made" one, but ''he eschewed
blood red hands," AS he said, 1T
wouldn't do; the Quaker connection
wouldn't like it"
But his twin sons by his second wife,
Sophia Alethea Hobson, are stated to
have been called Hohson and Brian, re
spectively, latter their uncle and late
grandfather, whose name and rank they
were destined to perpetuate." The
frank" is clearly the Newcome baron
etcy, but equally clearly the uncle and
grandfather must have been Hobsons
the founder of the Newcome family be-
ing himself alone" The twins at frs
take order as above. Then Brian is de-
clared to be the elder ''by quarter of
an hour" He is referred to as MIR
Brian" All at once he becomes "Sir
Brian" and 'perpetuates" rank TO
which, for all that appears, he had no
right whatever.-Notes and Queries.

True Courtesy.

On one occasion Robert Browning's
son had hired room in neighbOring
house, In order to exhibit his pictures
there, and during the temporary absence
of the artist, Mr.. Browning was doing
the honors to a room full of fashionable
friends.
He was standing near the door when
an unannounced visitor made her ap-
pearance, and of course he shook hands
with her, greeting her as he had the
other arrivals.
"Oh, beg your pardon" she exclaim-
ed, 'but, please, sir, I'm the cook. Mr..
Barrett asked me to come and see his
pictures"
.'And l am very glad to see you," re-
turned Mr.. Browning, with ready
courtesy. Take my arm, and will
show you round. Temple Bar.

Who Did What?

In the days when our grand1notheIs
were girls there came occasionally into
the family of good deacon with nine
children a village dressnaker. She had
an absorbing interest in other peoples
affairs, and always looked forward with
particular pleasure to the week during
which she cut and fitted for the deacon's
yirls, knowing that his house was in
| lone sort social center. where she was
likely to hear plenty of fresh news and
entertaining anecdotes.
One day she arrived late for her work,
and as she entered the house caught a
glimpse of the six daughters already as
sembled in the family sitting room with
their gowns and patterns, their work
| boxes and their new roll of "Iniy mus
| lin"
But none of them We're at work, for
one was telling the other story of such
less and spellbound, with hands fallen
in their laps or needles suspended in the
air.
The sight was too much for the new
conner. With one mitt on and one off,
her unfastened pelisse dragging from
her shoulders, her bonnet askew and its
loosened strings streaming, she ap-
peared suddenly among the astonished
girls, crying as she came:
What? What? What is it? Who did
WHAT
She was answered, although giving a
full answer involved the retelling of the
whole story, but her comprehensive in
quiry became thereafter family by
word
Among the deacon's descendants tc
this day if one shows signs of too great
inquisitiveness, it is sufficient for any
other member of the family TO ask, with
lift of the eyebrow:
who did what?"-Youth's Compan-

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Misery requires action, happiness re-
pose.
Men who lay wagers hatch disappoint-
ments.
Men might be better if we thought
better of them.
Amusement is the happiness of those
who cannot think.
Do not forget your children while you
are worshiping your ancestors.
The man who claims to be clean in
heart ought to have clean mouth
Takers will refrain from evil speaking
when listeners refrain from evil hearing.
Resolution, if unaccompanied by fore
sight and prudence, degenerates into
folly.
Error does not so often arise from ig-
norance of truth as unwillingness to re-
ceive it.
Goodness does not more certainly
make men happy than happiness makes
them good.
A noble man is he who can die pa
tiently but still nobler is he who can
live patiently.
You may gather rich harvest of
knowledge by reading; but thought is
the winnowing machine.
The man who has never done any
harm has always had to live where he
couldn't get an opportunity.
The objection to most perfect people
Is that they spoil their perfection by
knowing how perfect they are.
In prosperity it is the easiest OF all
things to find friend; In adversity It Is
of all things the most difficult.
When a man can't make fool of you
in any other way, he can do it by repeat
ing In earnest what you said in fun.
The happiness of married life depends
upon the power of making small sacri-
fees with readiness and cheerfulness.

Not So Green as He Looked.

A man entered busy city Office few
weeks ago and asked permission to use
the telephone. He walked to the corner
pointed out by one of the clerks, looked
curiously at the instrument and after a
furtive glance toward the other occu-
pants of the room took down the re-
ceiver and gently whispered into it.
"Huno."
A broad smile passed around the room,
and one of the younger clerks called out
in patronizing tones, ''Oh, no, uncle;
hang up the tube, ring the bell on the
right, then put the tube to your ear and
talk to that little hole before YOU"
The man obediently hung up the re-
ceiver and turned toward the speaker
"Thank you'll" he said dryly, II am the
general inspector of this telephone line. ,

ronceals himself behind the flower
