DAYS GONE BY,

1h, the days gone by oh, the DAYS gone by!
Inc apple IN the orchard, aud the pathway
through the rye;
Inc chlrrup OF the Robin and the whistle of
the quail.
AS he piped across the meadows sweet as any
nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover, and the
blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over, in the days
gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked feet were
tripped
BY the honeysuckle's tangles, where the water
lilies dipped,
And the ripple Of the river Tipped the moss
along the brink,
Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed cattle
came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless of the tru-
ants maynard cry,
And the splashing Of the swimmer in the days
gone by.
OH the days gone by oh, the days gone byi
The music Of the laughing lip, the luster of the
eye;
The childish faith in fairies, and Aladdin'G
magic ring
The simple soul-reposing, glad belief in every
thing,
When life was like story, holding neither sol
nor sigh.
In the olden, golden glory, Of the days gone
by.

The Mother Grown Old.

Grown old, the mother is sometimes
sorrowfully clear-sighted and freed
from the blessed illusions of youth.
When her children were little things
playing about the door, and tucked
into bed at night, all safe and sweet
and rosy, she had her dreams of their
future. There was nothing too bright,
too brave, too beautiful for her imagi-
nation and her hope as she looked at
her darlings, sleeping or walking AS
they grew older. went to school and
to college, or into the shop and the
counting room, the mother still dream
ed and planned, still wove her enchant-
ed stories, in the center of which she
saw her children, heroes, professors,
scholars, benefactors, champions of
the weak, defenders of the helpless,
ornaments OF the age, renowned-to- be-
Her Frank, her Charles, her Sydney,
whatever others might do, they were
bound to excel, to stand in the van, to
reap the rewards, to scale the heights,
to discover the long-hiddden secrets.
But there dawns day upon the
mother when, grown old, as wrinkles
and gray hairs testify, she renews
the wonderful keenness and acuteness
of childhood; she sees the dropping
of many masks; she comprehends
things as they are. Past the hour of
dreaming and castle building, past
the clouds and the mirage, her vision
is like that of one of Gods angels.

Oklahoma Statehood.

In 1890 the population of Okla
homa was 81 1874; of Montana, 1872
159; of Idaho, 84,385; of North Da-
kota, 1879; of Wyoming, 6O,7O5.
With the increase of population since
1890 and the sudden addition made
last week by the rush of new people
into the Cherokee Strip, now a part
of Oklahoma, that Territory doubtless
has a larger population than North
Dakota or Montana had in 1890, to
say nothing of Idaho and Wyoming.
A count of heads would show that
Oklahoma easily has people enough
to entitle it to one member of Con-
gress under the new apportlonment,
and by the old conservative rule for
the admission of new states this is a
sufficient test of qualification for state
hood. In area Oklahoma is larger
than Indiana and nearly as large as
Ohio. and the land will support a
steadily increasing population. Be
fore the close of the first regular SEES
sion Of the Fifty-thing Congress Okla
homa should contribute the forty-fifth
star to the American fag.-Republlc.

have caused serious losses to a class
of people who can i'll afford them.
