Sleep, oh, sleep, my lambs a-wearyi
Shining sunbeams all are DER.
'Tis the time when little children
Sail away TO Slumber shore.
Gliding. gliding to the music
OF tender lullaby.
Gently drift the little children
When the stars come out on high.
Oh, the lovely flowers that open
Right across the Sluinber sea!
Float away, my birds that twitter.
For the dreamship waits for ye.
Softly to the swaying grasses
Fall the gracious drops sf dew,
Yet more softly al the cleaning
Close the bairnie's eyes of blue.

To Encourage the Production Of SUI
gar In Colorado.

~ 6uS00Hak0 bu0 pToo0OBI0u 81 Sus
gar In Colorado.
We give below synopsis of the
bill of Senator Swink to encourage
the production of beets, sorghum or
other sugar yielding canes or plants
in the state of Colorado, and to en-
courage their manufacture into
sugar. The bill provides for
bounty of 81 ton for the raising of
beets or sugar yielding canes of not
less than twelve per cent and CO.
efficient of purity of not less than
eighty per cent and sold to sugar
manufactory of this state for the
period of two years from the pass
age of the bill; and bounty of one
half cent a pound SO manufactured
and polarizing not less than ninety
per cent to any firm or person en-
gagged in the manufacture of sugar
in this state from beets, sorghum or
other sugar yielding canes.
The quantity and quality of the
sugar upon which the bounty is
claimed is to be determined by the
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture, with whom all the claimants
are from time to time to file verified
statements showing the quantity and
quality of sugar manufactured by
them and upon which the bounty is
claimed Then the secretary or his
deputy is to visit the factory where
such sugar has been produced, or the
locality where the beets, canes or
plants have been raised, and after in
specting them, take evidence by the
sworn testimony of the claimant and
other witnesses as to the quality of
such plants and the sugar SO pro-
duced and manufactured. The man
ufactured sugar is to be placed by
the manufacturer in original packa-
ges which are to be examined and
branded by the secretary or by
person whom he may designate,
showing the quantity and quality of
the sugar, and of which an accurate
account shall be kept and filed in the
office of the state board of agricul-
ture. The cost of the brand, and
any analyses required to be made
are to be borne by the claimant.
The bill further provides that the
total sum to be paid as bounty shall
not in any one year exceed the sum
of $4,000. In case the rate pro-
vided shall exceed that amount each
of the claimants shall receive and be
paid pro rata proportion of that
sum. All claims arising under the
act are to be filed with the secretary
of the state board of agriculture on
or before the last day of November
of each year. This is measure for
which farmers have long been striv-
ing, and they now earnestly hope to
see it passed This would give the
business start enough so that many
farmers could go into the business
without danger of losing all they in
vest for the first year or two. This
is the trouble. There is at present
not surety enough of immediate sue
cess to entice farmers into this field.

York, moved to take up the bill re-

~ have no reason TO feel badly over the

elected Carter Harrison mayor by a de-
cided majority. it was in no sense IA
party fight. as the republican successes

republican candidate for mayor goes in
with three thousand majority in the face
