1.-THE TWO

A selection That VIII Interest Mine
Employees,
The following was the interesting selec-
ton contributed at the High School Junior
Glass exercises held in Ferguson theatre
Friday afternoon by Miss Alice Lehe;
Beautiful skies of tenderest blue
With mysty veil looks softly down,
On forests draped in brightest hue,
OF crimson gold and russell brown.
Here autumn, with golden store,
Rewards the tOilers in her fields
The barns and cribs are flowing DER with
wealth,
A blessed harvest yields.
The farmers life is full of toll,
But, then, sweet thought for him he's free;
No grinding goad in LIES turmoil,
No serf nor slave-a King is he;
Lord OF the soil and grassy sod,
He cares not for small tyrant's nod;
No trade ring makes him cringe or quake,
Praise God for your sweet freedoms sake.
The same blue sky looks mildly down
On the coal, Gods mill, and the coal dirt
mound.
Those mills are lined against the skies
Like huge Octupi with glaring eyes.
On these poor fields clad in black dust,
Where the coal slave wins his hard-earned
Those breakers, the child-slave's primary
school,
When older grown, he drives a mule.
A miner in manhood, till broken down
Asthmatic and old his back bent round,
he returns 10 the breaker again a child
Till the grave gives rest and the clods are piled.
While the thoughtless will sit by their cosy fire,
Nor dream OF the dangers and hardship's dire,
OF those who delve in the earth bowels deep,
Who risk their lives while others sleep;
Who breathe the deadly, murderous damp,
While u fall of rock may quench life andlamp,
All for q pitance so small indeed,
Made so by the coal Gods grinding greed.
That coal field joke, the sliding scale,
Slides but one way, the tide way sale,
Showing sixty cents rise on each ton,
While a half cent rise the poor miner won.
Oh, grand old commonwealth, with such evi-
denCel
Where is thy motto OF liberty and indepeu-
dence.
Her honest toilers in autumn's prime.
Have naught to show for work or CRIME
But empty larders, and empty pockets,
All gone to cancel the cOmpauy's dockets,
With winter staring in their faces,
What wonder they'ed kick DER the traces.
This one facts stands, naught can be surer,
Our poor each year are growing poorer,
While richer grow their STAINLESS robbers,
Till brought to sense by desperate mobbers.
Nor will peace reign, In this grand nation,
lllaws enact true arbitration.
Degrade not manhood into hopeless slavery,
Nor rob him by small tricks of knayery;
The labOrer is worthy Of his hire,
Tread not his manhood ia the mlre,

Kate Field: Apropos of round
shoulders, decided the other day as
/ sat in a great public gathering
drawn from all points OF the land
that what we need most is not more
currency, or less taxes, or a new bank
ing system, but a law to enforce sit
ting up straight. Take a hundred
Americans, men and women, and you
could. not find enough good shoulders
among them to make up table at
whist. This defect of carriage used
to be thought peculiar to the rural
districts. 1t is not SO. City people
show it less; but this is due to the
cunning of their tailors, and not to
any virtue of their own.
L am opposed to meddlesome legis-
lation; but | should welcome the APP
pointment of officials who should so
about and compel the populace to sit
and stand erect, as the old worthless
OF tho Puritan Westinghouse COM
pelled the congregation to keep awake.
If such q statute were enacted, in two
generations we should not know our
selves-or rather our descendants-so
great would be the improvement in
health, physique and dignity.

The editorial fraternity are early in

our friend Belyea of the Grant County
Herald wants to be enrolling clerk of
the house. We hope he will get it.
The editor of the TRIBUNE is not an
"active candidate for any legislative
position, unless there is something
lying around loose where the labors
are simply to draw the salary and not
requiring our presence at the state
capitol, only on pay day. Such a
position we might be induced to &C

WOmen'S Auxiliary.

There was a largely attended meet
ing of the Stevens County Women's
Auxiliary on Saturday afternoon last
at the home of the president, Mrs.
Judson. The fact that there were so
many present is evidence that there
is an increased interest in the work of
the organization by the members.
The secretary, Mrs. Hancock, being
absent, Miss Clark was appointed
secretary pro tenn.
A vote was passed rendering a
scholarship to the Worlds Fair to
Miss Lucy Smith. The other schol-
arship was undecided.
The Auxiliary voted in favor of the
moccasin flower being adopted as the
state flower of Minnesota.
Mrs. F. B. Clarke of St. Paul, LIST
Lady Manager of Minnesota, it is I'm
derstood will visit our auxiliary soon
after the holidays, and at the regular
meeting next month arrangements
will be made for her reception.
Efforts are being made to collect
Indian relics an legends of Indians in
this section of the state, and parties
in Browns Valley have rendered their
aid in making these collections, which
will be gladly accepted. We would
suggest that it would be an excellent
plan for some one connected with the
auxiliary to visit Browns Valley for
the purpose of consulting with parties
there in relation to this matter. By
so doing much valuable information
might be obtained.
Ithas been proposed that the pub
lie schools of the state raise money to
pay for statue to Hiawatha, and
Miss Clark was appointed to secure
contributions from the pupils of our
schools for this purpose. Boxes will
be provided for each school room in
which to place the contributions, no
scholar being allowed to contribute
more than 5 cents.
