The Borderl.pd of sleep.

Upon the Borderland of Sleep
Our fetters break, our burdens fall;
LIES river howeih calm and deep
Beneath an angeiguarded wall
That sorrow cannot scale nor leap
To reach the perfumed banquet hall.
Just on the BorderlAnd OF Sleep.
Upon the Borderiand Of Sleep
The harper sweeps forgotten strings,
TIL the mute spirit at the keep
The mighty portal backward fiipgs,
And trooping comes the friends We weep
AhI how their long hushed laughter riug
Out on the Borderland OF sleep.
Upon the Borderland Of Sleep
We feel the touch of warm, true lips,
And gaze into deep eyes that keep
Their faithful light; the goblet drips
A draught that makes dead pulses leap
And dim eyes shine-ahi nectared sips,
Pressed from the vines that nowhere creep
Save on the B5rderiand Of Sleep.
Upon the Borderland OF Sleep
Our laboris fruitage crowns the board;
Outside the walls the angels heap
Each battered plowshsre. broken word;
We all our fearful sowfngs reap,
The fortress crumbles at our sword

couple had been married About a cabel-

Over a hundred men were here, and

there was no end of roasted pigs and
tender lambs from the mountains, with
all sorts of unnsmsble Cuban country dish

in the cooking alone. There were casks of
aguardiente and flagons of cheap Catalan
wine, and these splendid swsrthy fellows
made many picturesque groups among the
lsurels, palms, tamsrinds and mignonettes
which grow to the height of our own flow

MY NEIaHBoR's BOY


He seems to be several boys In one.
So much Is he constantly everywhere!
And the mischievous things that boys has
done
No mind can remember nor mouth declare.
He fills the whole Of his share OF space
With his strong, straight form and his merry
face.
He Is very cowardly, very brave,
He Is kind and cruel, good and bad,
brute and q hero! Who will save
The best from the worst Of my neighbor's
ladf
The mean and the noble strife to day
which of the powers win have its way!
The world Is needing his strength and skill.
He will make hearts happy or make them ache
What power is in hum for good or HI
Which Of lIfe's paths will his swift feet take?
Will he rise and draw others up with him.
Or the light that is in him burn low and dim.
But what is my neighbor's boy to me
Though have some fear for what he may be
And q constant pleasure. Because pray
That the best that is in him will rule some
day.
He passes me by with smile and nod.
He knows have hope Of him-guesses too,
That whisper his name when ask OF God
That men may be righteous. He will to do.
And think that many would have more Joy
IL they loved and prayed for q neighbor's
boy.

THE NEIGHBoR's BOY


The neighbours boy, as all his neighbor's
know, is usually trial and sometimes q
torment. It is his puppy that worries
your kitten; his ball that makes abrupt
entrance into your family circle through
| shattered plate glass; his kite tail that
with it's futtering and grimy bobs edorns
your roaf; his ear-piercing whoops that
disturb your needed midnight rest, and
his tic tack that on dreary evening taps
| as with a ghostly finger against your win
dow pane.
He helps himself to your early and later
fruit; plunges over your flower beds in
| headlong flight from others of his kind,
and may be traced along the picket line of
your back fsi cs by little fragments of his
corduroys
Like the Princess Amelia, concluding in
| his hours Of glee that ell the world was
| made for him, he riots and ramps and roll
| licks, in season and out of season, and
| submits with grace to no law but that of
| recurrent and all-compelling Hunger.
| In your heart you think him the most
| detestable of urchins and wonder how his
| own mother can love him, aud why his ia
| ther does not do his disciplinary duty by
him The theory that children should be
| governed by love and kindness alone, you
reject as being unsupported by the evi-
| dence, and you are convinced that King
Solomon was never go wise as when he
said: "Chasten thy son while there Is
hope, and let not thy soul spare for his
crying"
And then, some day, you meet this de-
| stsoyer of your peace, and he gives you q
look so frank and open, smile 80 win
ming, that your heart softens toward him.
His shrilI whistle arrests for you the pass
ing horse car; his black stockings are
fourished gaily in the air ss he makes
rapid time on your errsnd; ho rescues your
cat from some other boys dog. When
| you come to understand this complicated
being more perfectly you look upon hina,
not 30 much as the embodiment of evil, as
of over -abundsnt and mis-directed physi-
cal energy: an unframed colt, runaway
locomotive, comet frisking about among
sedate and steady going planets.
| You begin to wonder what kind of a
man he will make; you also wonder how 1t
happens that there are any men at all
since boys are 30 daring, so anxious, ap-
parentIy, to be cut off in the midet of their
days. With your increasing interest there
springs up sympathy, appreciation of his
good qualities and patience for his faults.
At last, perhaps, you grow into the feeling
SO well expressed in the poem quoted be-
low, aud when this frame of mind is
reached there can bs only friendliness and
an exchange of courtesies between you and

wished to sell them by laying an import

wished to sell them by laying an import
duty on them.
We have had a test of the working Of
this sham reciprocity and can approx
mately state its effects. Prior to the
imposition of the tax on their cotfees
they were sending us about one-siXth OF
our coffee supply. Imports averaged
about 1000, eco pounds n month from the
three countries. This has shrunk under
the operation of the tax nearly two
thirds. That which we do get costs us
the three cents a pound more because of
the tax.
But that is not all of the effect Of this
cutting off of our noses to spite our
neighbOrs. We import upwards OF 600,-
600, 900 pounds Of coffee annually. AS
soon as the tax fell on the Venezuelan
coffee there was a sympathetic advance
IN cost of similar mild coffees all along
the line. This is estimated by those
%conversan: with the coffee market to
have amounted to about n ana a half
cents a pound on all imports of coffees
of the kind grown in those countries.
This enhancement of cost of their cot
fee to the coffee drinkers of this coun-
try cannot be accurately ascertained,
but it amounts to a large sum, several
million dollars annually.
The law leaves it optional with the
president as to the continuation of the
retallatory duties. They may be exacted
''for such time as he shall deem just"
The president cannot lose too little time
IN revoking HARRIsoN's edict and Civ
ing the country a free cup of coffee for
its breakfast tables.

A MOCKING II

Out in a northern region of the city
is a factory which employs 400 laborers.
1t has a mocking bird whistle which it
blows for all it is worth at early morn,
noon and quitting time. The whistle
has such all immense lung power that it
can be beard distinctly throughout the
broad domain of the city. 1t no doubt
annoys some of the drOnes Of the me-
trOpolis who naturally enjoy sleeping to
a late hour in the morning; but it is a
good thing, and nOne of the get-up-and-
dust people care a rap if it does. SAM
ALLISON is the manager of this com-
pany. He came from Xenia, o., where
business men get to their offices at Z
o'clock in the morning, and are so
pressed with business that they often
work to a late hour at night. Mr.. ALL
son. is a rather aged gentleman, but,
though his hair is sprinkled with gray,
he is as fat and full of good cheer as
Falstaif, and one cannot resist the
temptation to call him by the first half of
his given name; and he seems to enjoy
the familiarity. When he arrived he
saw UAO hOtlNO liza hO was SOAhs W
have a whistle on his factory that would
wake up the dry bones of the city, and,
God bless him, he has kept his promise.
Mr.. ALLISON is one of the most prac-
teal and enterprising gentlemen who
ever struck st. Paul. His cordage fac
tory is a 20. and 1t won't be but a few
years until the gentleman is employing
1000 laborers. If the weakened ele-
ment of the city desire to know what
pure pluck and enterprise can accom-
plish, let them go out to SAM ALLIsoN's
institution and see what he is doing
from the very start. He does not care
if the state prison factory is furnishing
binding Irvine to the farmers at s cents
a pound, which is a half-cent below the
cost OF manufacturing it; he has plenty
of business in a direction which the
state PRISON factory cannot touch, and
he proposes to occupy the field.
