LOST-MY BOY.

Lost have lest him.
When did he go?
Lightly l clasped him.
How could l know
cut OF my dwelling
He would depart,
Even as l held him
Close to my hearth
Lest. l have lest him,
Somewhere between
School house and college,
Last he was seen;
Lips full OF whistling,
Curl tangled hair;
Lost! l have lost him,
Would l knew where.
Lost! l have lost him,
Chester, my boy.
Picture book, story book,
Marble and toy,
Stored in the attic,
Useless they lie.
Why should l care much?
Mothers, tell why.
Yes. he has gone from me,
Leaving no sign;
But there's another
Calls himself mine,
Handsome, and strong of limb,
Brilliant is he;
Knows things that | know not,
Who can it be:
Face like the fathers face,
Eyes black as mine:
Step full Of manly grace,
Voice masculine.
Yes, but the gold of life
Has one alloy:
Why does the mother-heaIt
Long for her boy?
Long for the mischievous,
Queer little chap;
Ignorant, questioning,
Held in my lap.
Freshman, so tall and wise,
Answer me this:
Where is the little boy
/ used to kiss?

Man and Parrot Working Together

From the Boston Evening Telegraph.
A man whom | can name has a parrot
for partner-at least | think so The
man keeps a railroad restaurant, and
quite a number of travellers patronize it.
1 had been up town and saw the few Gus
toners for my line of goods that the
place contained, and concluded I would
have a nice hot dinner at the depot
Half dozen persons were at the lunch
counter when mounted my stool for "a
quick hot roast beef - 1 had just about
started on the delicious meal when
heard the ringing Of an engine bell and a
voice at the door shout;
Hurry up, you damn fools; trains
readyw
1 jumped from the stool and with the
rest rushed for the platform at the end of
the depot, and there found only a
dummy engine. When we returned to
the counter the dishes had been removed.
We were all mad when we discovered
that the warning came from a trained
parrot which the proprietor had placed
in cage over the door leading to the
platform. / have always thought since
then that the owner of the restaurant
and parrot were in ''cahoots" on crackers
and beefsteak pie

Two Pretty Girls Cause Him to Look
Pleasant for the Photographer.
From the New York "

Chicago, Sept. "A photographer was
talking Gov. Flower and the New York
commissioner in group to-day and
CHANGED to- turn the governors head at
an angle that brought his eyes to bear
upon two pretty girls. The governor

smiles, and then he looked his best and
said: Am looking sweet nowl"
The girls, who were ignorant of the
governors identity, replied: you are
real pretty now
When the artist finished the governor

Ladies, allow me to thank you Tor your
smiles

other stood her ground, grasped the gov
ernOr's outstretched hand and said:
Where are you FROM

NOT so DANGEROUS.
Why the old-Time Sulphur Match is
Still Popular.
from the Kansas City Time


'Nlan in sixty-eight wants some parlor
matches. He says these eight-day sticks
are a confounded nuisance" the bell boy
said to the clerk in one of the hotels yes
terday.
Tell him he'll have to get along with
the old-style match, " answered the clerk
The insurance companies don't allow
parlOr matches in the rooms"
Yes, that's a fact" he continued in
answer to a surprised questioner. Insur-
ance policies of nearly all companies pro
hlbit the keeping and use parlormatChes
in any part of hotel, but they are gen
orally kept in the Offices because they are
in greater favor and more convenient
than the sulphur match. and the require
ments of the policy is so that extent
overlooked by both its holders and the
issuing company There isn't much chance
for an accidental ignition of a parlor
match to do much harm in hotel Office
but they are dangerous things in
rooms whore carpets or curtains or stray
paper are liable to catch fire from them.
They are not only more easily lighted bv
accident, such as stepping upon them
but, as is not generally known, they often
break out in flame from spontaneous COM
bustion, You may Judge how easily this
is liable to happen by holding bunch of
them i'll the dark and watching the fume
that continually arises from them The
sulphur match is not so dangerous in any
of these particulars. -

DEMOCnATlC PnoGRAM.
Boise Sentinel.

"ihe tariff must be removed, the
pension rolls cut down and the civil
service rules enlarged and enforced. y
The above is the receipt offered by
a number Of our Democratic ex-
changes, warranted to cure ali the ills
that affect the body of the nation.
reform the tariff, cut down the pen
sions, and enlarge the civil service
rules and there will be no further
contraction of the currency. The
concentration of wealth in the hands
OF the few will be thing of the past.
Trusts, combines and monopolies will
cease to grind the life out of the peo
pie; land will no longer gravitate to
the hands of the few, poverty will
vanish and prosperity will reign ev-
erywhere.
Well! we'll! how simple, and yet
what a difference before taking and
after taking, before election and after
election. Before election they never
said word about cutting down the
pension rolls, but twenty nine Demo-
cratic States pledged themselves pos
itively to stand by the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. Now sill
yer is dropped, because the money
power says so, and the poor old de-
fender of the nation now in declining
years will be slaughtered to satisfy
the demands of this modern Cerebrus
who acknowledges neither duty nor
patriotism, but fatens on the spoils
wrung from the toiling millions of the
earth.
By some oversight there is no men,
ton made of the Chinese question
Before election we had promises and
pledges on that score several stratas
deep. Just let the Chinese go, and
all defects not cured by the cutting
down of the pensions, and reform in
the tariff will be adjusted by enlarg
ing the civil service rules. If an en-
largement of the civil service rules
will bring return of the good old
Democratic days, by all means let the
enlargement begin.

Wood River Mail Service.

TIE Statesman's Washington spe-
cial of the 23d says Senator Dubois
has been flooded with kilograms from
the Wood River country protesting
against the stopping of the daily mail
service on the Wood River branch of
the Union Pacific.
The Senator promptly took the
matter up upon receiving news of the
change and has had several confer
ences with the Postmaster General in
reference to the matter. AS a result
of these conferences he expresses the
belief that the matter will be salts
factorily adjusted.
If the railroad company refuses t(
resume the daily mail service as here
tofore, the department will establish
star route and resort to primltiv'
methods to give the people of Woo
River the advantage of daily mail de
livery. Senator Dubois, however
feels entirely satisfied that the rail
road company will drop its presen
schedule and resume the daily ser
vice.

USES OF ELECrRlClrY.

Eli Perkins has beer out in Nebrar-
ka and has found out something. He
has found where the North Platte has
been turned through ten mile canal
and so has made mountain lake on
hill. The lake is sixty feet higher
than Gothenburg, the town below it,
and covers several hundred acres.
Pouring down from this lake comes
a 100000 horse power stream Of wa
ter through the town. In the middle
Of the town they have central pow
er house, where electric motors change
the Platte waters into electricity.
This electricity is distributed for
heat, light and power to almost every
house in town. One wire turns the
machinery of the brass foundry; an
other runs into clothing factory and
turns fifty sewing machines; they are
putting it in to run big Touring
mill; they are heating houses through
out the town, and Perkins found q
woman ironing with no stove in the
house. He asked her how her iron
was heated, and she answered, "this
little wire hanging to the fiat iron."
He saw eggs frying in pan on the
parlor table and coffee pot boiling
when the bottom of it was perfectly
cold. In a moment woman made
him hot cakes by simply turning a
button and letting the electricity
pass through the bottom of the grid
die. Then teacupful of -four, a
spoonful Of baking powder and half
pint of water was given quick stir
with spoon and FIVE cakes were
poured into the griddle. In three
minutes the cakes were ready on Per-
kins' plate and the electricity turned
off, and so on and so on.
