4 JiHy Journal
Al hail, thou mighty Smith
Not simple John, nor CO'ohel Johh
Nor POcahOntas Smith
Tut great aud famous liOSe'
No lpwd1Wn, common "plOhel
Nor poor Inferior
But very much superior
Chief lp.SOt the Interior,
NucOmmDn Georgia cracker
Nor Southern BHsHy-NhAckeT'
But blood OF bluesI blue
BIO the Wuh.
Twas then the Smiths and Hokesr
We're told, We're folks
OF some rGnOWn,
Like Governor Joseph Brown
We're "nohs;"
Like TOlmbs and CQbbs,
In the good tlule5 OF ola
When men were boughtand sold
But Wen not talk OF Ihnti
We've settled up that score
And shut and barred the door
The Smiths
Were never myths,
We all have kin and kith
By name OF smith;
But none are HOkcs.
We've searched directories through
From A.tO,U-
In Smiths
And found an Oak,
Even RORe,
hut nary lIoke-
No not one,
We tell YOU, lIoko
It's quite stroke
no have your name bespoke
For such high Office,
You're now a "hcayy weight"
At amy ratG
Almost a. stout as Grover,
And taller
They say, you're six feet two
And wear u larger shoe.
We also hear, great liORe,
You're "upn IN Littleton and Coke
And toTts aud troyeri
Aud so Is Grover
You ought TO get along
But "llOly Smoke,
Dear Secretary Hokc.
How your hot southern gorge would choRo
II Grover should ever poke
His nose around your bureau
Wen toll you HokO,
We do not wish 70 Croak
And yet we hear
The 'old MANS often queer
You'll lind twill be no joke
10 he simple spoke
In Clevelnnd's wheel OF state,
You'll find that he's the Hub
Aye; there's the rub.
When he gets cross ana Glum
He'll so around and chum
With Dan, Lamont
And Crony HisScll
And leave the rest
To air their shins
And stroke their Chins
And whistle.
Hoke Smith, you'll find i true
Though thinking well otyou
He'll not fOrsakC old friends
For new
And greatly to his credit.
We hear great, famous Smith,
You own and print a journal
And publish Ii dtHrnHl,
And still you're not u colonel!
II strikes us very queer
You do not wear the name,
But you arc not to blame;
You simply came too late;
Did not arrive,
We're told TIL 1876.
Good luck to you, Hoke SMITH
We wish you we'll
Be faithful to your trust
And do the best you can.
Don't stir up old discussions
About our soldiers pensions;
Don't change the peoples plan
About the public lQnd
Don't raise the tax on whisky,
For all these things arc risky.

cRUsoE's ISLAND
Catching Fish and Raising Cattle the Occu-
patton of the, Few Inhabitants.

1t is not generally known that Juan
Fernandez-the island on which Alex
ander Selikrk, the Robinson Crusoe of
romance, lived for SO many years-is at
the present time inhabited, says the
Melbourne Argus. Two valleys, wind
ing down from different directions, join
a short distance back from the shore,
and here now stands little village of
small huts scattered around a long low,
one-storied building with "a ..veranda
running it's full length.
In this house lives the man who rents
the island from the Gillian government,
and the village is made up of a few
German and Chilian families. The
tiny town is called San Juan Beautista,
and the crater slike arm of the sea on
which it is situated, and where Alexan-
der Sell1irk first landed, is now called
Cum berland Bay. The island is rented
for about 200 lbs. a year. The rent is
paid partly in dried fish. Catching and
drying the many varieties of fish and
raising cattle and vegetables wholly oc-
cupy the contented settlers, and much of
their little income is obtained from
cattle and vegetables sold to passing
VeSeSlS. Inc cattle need no care and
the vegetables almost grow wild. Tur-
nips and radishes, first sown here by
Selkirk himself, now grow rank and
wild in the valley like weeds There is
also race of wildsdogs which completely
overrun the island, depending for exis-
lance mainly upon seals. They are de-
scendants of the breed of dogs left by
the Spaniards.
At the back of the little town, in the
first high cliff, is Il row of caves of re-
markable appearance hewn in the sand
stone. An unused path leads to them,
and short climb brings one TO their
dark mouths. About 40 years ago the
CHILEAN government thought. that a good
way to be rid of its worst criminals
would be to transport them to the Island
of Juan Fernandez Here, under the di-
rection of the CHILEAN soldiers, these
poor wretches were made to dig caves to
live in. In 1854 they were taken back
again, however, and the caves have
since been slowly crumb bling away.

watched is now called THE Saddle, :"

Johnnie,s BODY IIad Run Awny.

While fishing on the bank of Stony
creek, johnnie Johnson, a lad fig years,
tumbled into the water and sank beneath
the surface. Other boys saw him disap-
pear. and they scampered away for aid.
Johnnie struggled until he reached dry
land and then took to his heels.
Half an hour later he stood on the
Main street bridge watching a crowd of
men raking the waters of the creek with
graphing hooks. He became interested
in the strange occupation of the men,
never dreaming they were looking for
his own body. His clothes were wet, and
it was pice and sunny on the bridge. He
remained therean hour until thoroughly
dry, and then descended to the creel,
bank, where the anxious crowd was
watching tho dragging of the stream.
What you doin?" inquired Johnnie of
ono who had just come out Of the water.
"Lookin fer Johpnie Johnson's corpse,
replied the man. "EIe tumbled in there
two hours ago."

the astonished lad Then he explained

Now that the reform has set in it will

About Fast Bicycle Riding.

The acknowledgements of accidents to
bicycle riders this season has been a sub
ject Of considerable comment. Last
year and the year before there were ac-
cidents to riders and to those with whom
they happened to collide while riding at
a rapid pace through the streets, but this
season one can hardly glance over the col
umns Of d newspaper without reading ac-
counts Of several Of these n1ishaps. 1t al
apost seems that the wheelmen had en-
tered in q compact tofinjure themselves
and others as often as an opportunity
presented itself. The reasons for tho in
crease in the bicycle accident list >are in
the first place that there are more wheels
than ever before, and in the second that
the alleged improvements in copstruc-
tion tend to accidents. The new style
wheels, with their pneumatic tires, are
without brakes, SO that the rider cannot
stop as readily as formerly when he sees
that he is approaching danger.
The construction Of the tire is such
that were it supplied with brake the
sudden and determined use of that ar
tiele would burst the tire, allowing the
air to escape. The new style wheels run
over the pavements so much more easily
than the old style ones that whenra Wig
orous young man gets astride of one OF
them he is seized with desire to go like
a racehorse, and Ire does. The combina-
tion of swift riding and no brakes is re-
sponsible for probably so per cent of the
accidents to the wbeelmen and the NOR
tails who happen to get in their way 1t
might not be a bad idea to regulate their
speed by law, especially through the
crowded parts of the streets. Boston

Fine Flayors In Trade,

Commerce may be cold blooded oc-
cupatiop as devoid of sentiment as a
fish, but sometimes things happen that
have a wonderfully appropriate flavor
even in trade. We note in this connec-
ton the arrival of three steamships in
Montreal in single day, the first loaded
with. gin, the second with lemons and
the third with sugar. Montreal has no
kick coming, and if she can keep this
sort of thing up we don't see why the
United States should object to being an
nexed to the Dominion.-St. Paul
