For the Eagle
Esaglc.
FLEECY CLOUDS.

Lightly floats the feecy clouds
In the dull and lazy sky,
Their misty folds, now enshroud
The mountain peaks on high
kissing their frozen snow banks
With warm and gentle dew,
Melting down those crystal tanks,
To leaping waters, blue.
Now the serried hosts OF air,
Fleecy clouds are leading
On dress-parade, tinsels glare
On the steeds ca.reenlng.
Hark, The distant bugle call
Boots and saddles" sounding;
Black as midnight's sable pail,
Thunder claps are pounding
Troopers all come sweeping out,
Then make gallant stand.
Fleecy clouds right face about.
And fight them hand to hand
Heavens battle RACES fierce,
While Iightning's lurid glare
Awful gloomy darkness pierce,
Great Storm King reeles the air.
Soon the storm has passed away,
The cadence of his guns,
Roll along the cloudy way.
Then die where they begun.
Slowly sinks the western sun,
Beneath topaz shroud:
Precious rain the storm has wruLg
Out OF the ieecy clouds.

COB PIPES,

A representative of the EAGLE yesterday
spoke TO, il passing Mr.. 5. d. Jackson, one
of the travelling statesmen of the Wichita
Cob Pipe works, who is just in from a
swing around, and learned from him that
during the past few months bis sales o!
goods OF the comDany's manufacture have
amounted 10 =. 800. Although less than
three years old the company's trade ex-
tends into thirteen states and is rapidly
extending. The manufacture OF cob pipes
may seem to be a small business but Love-
land & Cook have certainly got a good
thing il their factory and one that will
grow to be Dig one ere long.

cents for seeds, 40 cents for second hand

rake. Tue three latter implements have
been stolen, the fence can't be removed,

had completely choked every thing but the
tomatoes and they were planted so thick
that they choked themselves afterwards.

This is poetry said we'll known anti
fusion Democrat to the EAGLEfyoung man
few days ago as he handed him the fol-
lowing lines with prayerful request that
they be published in this issue of the
EAGLE:
Three times three is sixty-six,
Straw's not needed for making bricks,
Crops depend on politics;
And the Peoples party knows it,
The leaves of the trees will be dollar notes,
There'll be diamond rings around the
heads of oats,
And silver tips on the horns of goats;
And the Peoples party knows it!
Plough and hoe are both plaid out,
The way to farm is to run about
To p. p. meetings. and storm and spout;
And the Peoples party knows it!
Why should the farmer delve and ditch,
Why should the farmers wife darn and
stitch?
The government can make 'em rich;
And the Peoples party knows ii!
When we've kicked the Plutocrats down
stairs,
And purgad Wall street"of its Bulls and
Bears"
We're all agowin' to be millionaire;
And the Peoples party knows it!
Away with the Infamous mortgage,
No more well be Haunted by such as he,
Uncle Sam pays for all, dye see?
And the Peoples party knows it!
O., this viii be glorious land
When things are done as we have planned:
And We'll have prosperity, fresh and canned;
And the Peoples party knows it!
The cheese'n be silver, the butter'Il be gold,
The streamsll run whiskey, hot and cold,
And mugwnmps VIII forget TO scold;
And the Peoples party knows it,
The 9th ult'll be the 10Th prox,
The girls will cease to think of frocks,
Jerry Simpsons feet1l be sheathed in socks;
And the Peoples party knows it,
So hurrah, hurrah for the great P. p.
One equal and equal }.
A is B and Y is Z;
And the PEOPLES party knows it!

A tramp appeared at the back door of a
North Topeka avenue residence a few
mornings ago, and with most pitiable
look On his face said: please, madam,
won't you give me bite to eat, l am fast
ing now forty-eight hours" why GER
tainly, my man, I'll give you some bread
and butter" said the housewife as she
went to cut him fat slice from a recently
baked loaf. After spreading fine layer
of fresh butter on it she turned around,
but to her establishment he had gone and
looking out she saw him chalking some
thing on the gate post, after which he
hurriedly walked away She Investigated
and found the following initials on the
gate post, II. O." Four or five hours
afterwards she went to visit neighbor
four doors above, and as she went in she
noticed the initials IS. NJ" on the gate
post. After some inquiries she ascertained
that at the latter place the tramp was in
vited to the table, where he ate hearty
breakfast of porterhouse and fried onions,
with biscuits and ice tea The lady of this
house had five tramp calls that day while
the lady of the first house had none. The
marks on the gate posts were made there
by the first man for the benefit of his
"pards," the III. O." meaning ''hand OUT
and the IS. NJ" meaning square meal,
and, of course, no professional tramp will
take the former as long as he can get the
latter. which explains the fact that five
calls were made at the IS. NJ" house.

"Pll take Dutch cocktail" said well
known rounder as he placed his elbow on
the edge of the bar in a well known re-
freshment emporium a few nights ago.
He was in crowd and everybody wanted
to know what in thunder was a Dutch
cocktail. The decoction was made before
their eyes aud as it was common every day
pop with very little beer floating on top
OF it, they turned away in disgust and
muttered something like 1.-The darned
chump spoils the pop and spells the beer
too" That's ali right" said the patron
of the coctail to the EAGLE young man
who was taking light lemc made at his
elbow, but this is the best drink
made all the same aud I'll be drinking it
aud wearing diamonds when these fellows
are either at the Kelley institute. the in
sane asylum or the poor house. Now then
my business is such that / have TO take a
great many drinks day for sociabiiity
and had il not been for this drink | would
have been confirmed drunkard long ago.
As it is can go into bar room with any
crowd aud be as sociable as any OF them.
The barkeeper pours bottle of pop into a
glass and then pours about four table
if stirred up. will permeate the pop and
when the barkeeper sings the glass up no
one in the crowd will know but what am
drinking beer as it has precisely the same
color and the same amount of foam. The
pop kills the life of the beer aud the con-
sequence is there is not headache or a
drunk in thousand glasses OF it, Be
sides its temperance virtues it is very
refreshing drink and nothing on earth
quenches the thirst like it. 1t cools a man
all over and it creates no APPETITE whatever
By this | mean that no matter how well a
man may be used to it he can drink it or
let it alone ut his own sweet will II |
was car of this universe l would decree
that Dutch coctail should be the universal
beverage. II is just the thing for a man
who drinks for sociability and it is nv
highest ambition to make its use general
among the drinking friends whom | love
and who l sorrowtully see going step By
step to perdition every day through the
beer route

Il was at Christopher Columbus we'd
ding, was the startling statement made
by a well known Irish citizen to the EAGLE
young man yesterday. Yes, sir, l was,
and more than that, i am related to the
distinguished discoyerer of America /
had a handsome little Irish cousin named
Mollie Feely, and she, through her rare
personal charms, smote the heart of
young man whose full name was Christie

csc and had documentary and unguestion-
able genealogical evidence that he was a
descendant OF the Columbus fam.

to be in Washington during the winter
OF 1883, when shey were married and, i'll
rightly remember, the marriage ceremony
wOs solemnized by DR.. Kane, now Bishop
Kane, who is the distinguished rector of
the American Catholic university.
Chris, AS we always called him, IS a very
fine fellow aud is still residing III Wash
ingson, and has one son who will perpetu-
ate the name. Through the mothers side
OF the house this young lad is related to
the McCartys and the O'Connors who are
direct descendants of the ancient Irish
kings who were famous a thousand years
before America was discovered, so that

ing up the name in the directories of every
city, but nowhere could find the name

fellow who made dive behind the pre-

nature described to him he concluded to
investigate the claims made for it and
dropped nickle in the slot. 1t happened
that the cylinder in IL that day was a piece
of music played by the Marine band at
Washington, which commences with a
loud aud lively blowing of horns and
humping of drums. He had no sooner
put the tubes TO his ears when he dropped
them like hot potato aud flew out
through the screen door like he had been
shot from cannon. The druggist, think
ing he had suddenly turned crazy, fol-
lowed him to the door and saw him hitch
ing his horse to a telegraph pole after
which he looked around him and asked
where that band was playing"
