feel superior and are aristocrats. The

is kansan. does not feel inferior and
resents the class distinction.
! do. 1t makes me miserable. And as
l am kansan, / like that. Some where
! near Tw enty-Second street, on Michigan
avenue; there is a swell hotel called the
Metropole. often go down there and
look in through the great plate glass
windows in the evening. L do not know
much about the hotel except that two
great English footmen, powdered and
primped. stand at the door like statues.
| also know that it is an unspeakabIe
crime to wear a common suit of clothes
into the dining room, and that you will
not be admitted unless you are ia dress
suit. Through the windo S can see
great confusion Of pure glass mirrors,
dazzling silverware, priceless chande-
llers, and faultless linen. 1t is very
beautiful. Smooth-faced French waters
glide noiselessiy about. l do not try to
discover more about the palace No
spl9ndor Is perfect that does not at some
point ally itself with the mysterious.
The fact that do not know who these
diners are in silks and broadcloths, and
the fact that I am not with them,
heightens the glamour. Caesar was never
as splendid to himself as he was TO the
people who witnessed his triumphal
march.
The more splendid these figures appear
to me through these windows, the more
unattainable their comforts, the more
intangible their line to me, the more /
fume inwardly.
While | stand in the shadow before
this brilliant castle, a tally -ho adened
with a crowd of the progeny OF opulence
rolls up before the hotel. A crowd of
American citizens, with disgusting
curiosity gather about with mouths
agape, to watch the American nobility
alight. The servility of a crowd of Rus
sian peasants could not be greater than
these Americans. The sneering indiffer-
ence of the nobility as it al!ghts and
tucks in its skirts lest it touch the con-
terminating garment of the community,
could not be more insuferable to the
car of Russia
Through the spotless, fawless glass
the dining table and the dinner glow
like an illuminated picture. Without
the wind from off Lake Michigan is raw
and biting. A dark woman, slender, tall,
with the tint of southern sun on her
cheeks, her bare shoulders radiant, a
heap of roses blazing in a glass bowl be-
fore her, tips glass of sparkling cham
payne to her red lips. The flushed old
man opposite with his polished face,
looks the joint product of Incidence and
luxuriance. He is Sybarite, not an
American. You will wander on up the !
long avenue, where the string of lights |
on either side taper to a distant point. l. |
is not riches that you deplore, but the |
result of riches, aristocracy, effeminacy, |
and if history is not all a lie, firal and
natural disasters.

For the Eagle.
ERIE.

Dashing, sleeting 'gainst the pane
Comes the first cold winter rain;
Rough winds hurl dead leaves about
Bleak and drear is all without.
But our CRATE is glowing bright
With the dusky anthracite;
Well slut out the storms loud din,
CoZy comfort reigns within.
Softly shaded candle light
Brings each object into sight:
And it rests with tender grace
On chiid's fair, pictured face.
Long upon that face I gaze,
Seeing it as through a haze;
And my heart cries out in pain:
Darling, come to me again "
Seems that rosebud mouth to say:
Il am with you every day;
Only from your sight I'm gone,
Mamma, dear. you're not alone"
Time rolls back. The past is here,
And my little child is near;
Smiling, joyous as of old
Eyes of azure, hair of gold.
Happy mortal l am blest,
For in waking dreams | rest.
Daylight gone, its duties done,
Revere claims me for its own.

KING CORN.


How bright are the frosty mornings
OF autumn's harvest days.
The bracirg north winds are hieing
Through rustling golden maize.
The corn within its silvered sheen.
Has tints of topaz stone.
It's richer far than ieweied queen,
Bright jasper walls her home.
When cold November frosts nave come,
The silken husks are white,
And singing summer birds have flown.
The golden corn is ripe.
The farmer seeks his precious grain,
The burly sons assist.
It's garnered for the waiting train.
Transport to merchant ships.
Then corn breaks forth IN royal tones,
And speaks with stately nod;
I'm the king Of ali earthly zones,
The grandest treads the sod.
"Earth's friendly markets have sought,
And sought them not in vain.
Ny treasures the wide world has bought,
Her people TO sustain.
Il forced the ports of 'Fatherland,'
Her chancellor gave way,
l broke her gates IKE ropes OF sand,
While emperor, at bay.
Il entered the princely palace,
Her castles Oh the Rhine.
Bold Tanaees with no great malics
Gave EN- johnny cake most ine.
american ships of commerce
Go blowing through the main.
All bearing my food, surcease
To Russ.a's famisLed plains.
My great realm Is still aggressive,
In graSping more domain.
Where the wealth is aggressive
-Iy kingly hand sustains.
"O'er the world my sway is mighty,
1t reaches great and small,
And in the Nineteenth century
King Cora Will rule them all"

he was Guilty.

Lee Fairchild, having been accused OF
addressing a democratic meeting in this
city two years ago, pleaded guilty" before
his audience on Monday evening, but ex-
planned as follows: He was here to ad-
dress a meeting of prohibitionists, who
turned up missing at The appointed hour.
Homeward bound, he was beset on the
depot platform by a delegation of demo-
Gratis, whose speaker had failed to material
ize. They importuned him to stay and
talk to them, "just 10 hold the crowd"
He stayed-fOr two reasons. One was, to
accommodate them; the other, because,
he said, he knew of no party under the sun
so much needing a prohibition speech as
the democracy. That's all there is to the
story.-Yakima Republic

In another column we call attention to
the piano and organ advertisement of D..
S. Johnston, of Tacoma, who is the only
dealer in the state who buys every instru-
ment direct from the manufacturers. All
others buy from Portland or San Francisco
houses. Mr.. Johnston has Just delivered
two very fine pianos in Olympia, and will
deliver others soon. The great organ con-
test at the Unitarian church a short time
ago between Mr.. Johnston, of Tacoma, and
Mr.. Pettis, of Seattle, was a very one-sided
affair, the Johnston instrument proving
immeasurablY superior in every respect. \
