The Old Mill Horse.
from Our Animal Friends.1

Tee old mill horse! The blind mill horse!
See him plod his daily course;
Toiling, moiling, weary, worn,
Hopeless, heartless, and forlorn!
Old, blind horsei read the language
OF thy footsteps, sad and slow;
Nay, thy stony eye discourseth
All the eloquence OF woel
"Youth, " 1t says, II OF ce was active.
Swift and Joyous, proud and gay;
Mark me now, all faint and feeble,
In the evening of my day."
In the rough and haggard semblancs
Wisdom speaketh unto thee;
What is youth, or grace, or beauty,
Read Of them the destiny
Maiden, mark the chase's glory,
Idol of the sporting throng;
Deaf and blind, and lame and aged,
Drag this burdened beam along.
Man, behold the ills that wait thee,
See the end Of natures strife;
What are power, fame, and glory,
But the vani'ies Of Hfes
Vain are all thy pomps and pagesnts.
Vainer those they oft adorn;
Come and read of time the moral,
In this broken, dropping forml
Age, behold in him thy likeness,
Toiling on In want and care;
OF him learn to bear in silence
Misery and grim despair
Mark him mute beneath fate's lashes,
Patient and enduring still;
Dragging out life's wretched remnant
In q dark and dreary MILL
The old mill horse! The blind mill horsel
See him plod life's dusty course;
Mute aud patient in despair,
Waiting death to end his care.

built so odd . double house, for he was
then much younger man. But being O

replied pleasantly 10 all:

Ia one vital respect Uncle Jimmy Biggs
possessed wonderful advantage over many
of the philosophers and ssges who are en-
rolled smong the imnortsls.
Cynthia Bi9gs, his wife, believed In him

off articles of rsiment, and the time may
come when people who are retiring by ma

that they can conceal nothing except their

Mayor Sargent has figured In go many
interesting and important places that 1t ie
not surprising to find his name in the Con-
greseional Record. II occurs there In a
speech made by Senator Plstt, who has
been kindly trying to and war out of the
woods for Brother Sargent and the other |
free trade Democrats who cannot now tell |
whether they are Democrats or what they |
are. They will not know until the Wilson |
bill is passed and then they may not. SEN
stor Platt refers to Mayor Sargent as type |
of those who left the ranks of the Republi-
can party and Joined the ranks of the DEM
ocratic party upon the theory that iron ore
and pig iron should be free. And the
senator wonders with what kind of salts
faction Mayor Sargent will view the pro-
posed action of the Senate Ia regard to
iron ore and pig iron. I could imagine,
says the senator, "when the Wilson bill
passed the House, and he found that the
long cherished object of hls business life
had apparently been accomplished, that he
might have had occasion for great rejoic-
ing in feeling that he was to have free
material in the shape of ore and very
much reduced duty upon pig iron, with
practically the same protection afforded
him as the result of Republican success
upon his manufactured product, that
he would have cause for ela.ion;
but when he sees now that his
cherished theory and his cherished
hope of what the Democratic party
would do in case 1t came in power
has all been blown to the winds and that
the Democratic party, as represented in the
senate, Is as wicked as the Republican
party has been in this matter of, as he
would say, taxing free raw msterials, I
have wondered where he would 90, to what
party, what party he was to join" And
the eenator, not liking to leave his old
friend without hope of place of refuge,
points him to the Populist party, whose
chief spokesman, Senator PETER of Kansas
has come out boldly for making iron ore
free. And he congratulatss Senator Peffe,
on the possibility, and perhaps the proba.
bility, that be may soon find convert and
q very strong supporter in Mayor Sargent
1t would be an interesting spectacle te
see our mayor leave the Democratic party
to become q Populist as he left the Re
publican party to become Democrat. II
is becoming evident that he and those who
hold his views about iron ore aud pig iron
must make another change If they want te
feel elsthome. Perhaps after another change
or two they will discover that the Republi
can party is ON the whole no more injuri
cratic party.

Fashions From the Ground Up.
Shoes for outdoor wear are extremely
plain to correspond with the severity of
the prevalent tailor made dresses, but for
indoors shoes are extremely ornate and as
small as can possibly bs worn. Very high
heels, pointed toes and low or short vamps
richly ornamented add to the tiny effect.
House shoes for wear with wrapper and
room and boudoir gowns are of the Turk
