Days Gone By,

James Whitcomb Riley in the St. Louis Re-
public.
Q. the days gone by o, the days gone by!
The apple In the orchard and the pathway
through the rye;
The chirrup of the robin and the whistle of
the quail,
AS he plped across the meadows sweet as anv
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 honeySuckles 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
truaats hayward cry
And the splashing of the swimmer in the DAVIS
gone by
Q, the days gone by o. the days gone BY
The music OF the laughing lip, the luster of
the eye;
The childish faith in FAIRIES and Aladdin's
magic ring.
The simple, soulreposing, glad belief in
everything.
When lie was like a story, holding neither
sob nor sigh
In the olden, golden glory Of the days gone
by.

An Exploded Belief.

Among what are supposed TO be the few uni
versally- admitted truths. says the New York
Tribune, is this: A woman can not sharpen
lead pencil. II seems to be almost what the
ministerial brotherhood would call unset
Ting TO say H. hut this is not a truth after
al. even II 1t Is universally admitted; wo-
man can sharpen lead pencil. There is. in far
downtown once, charming young woman,
as many such there be in far downtown Of
noes. The other day a visitor noticed that
her lead pencil was exceptionally well sharp
ened.
Who sharpens your lead pencils for you?'
inquired the visitor.
'Notody-do it myself. answered the
young lady. with great decision.
Inc visitor arched his eyebrows, ana looked
as lncredulOus as he knew how.

defiance in her voice.

looking pen-il which he had just borrowed
from friend She took il in her left hand with
the point aimed at the ceiling, and then from
some mysterious place in her desk produced
one OF the most formidable carpenter
chlselS which it had ever been the lot of the
visitor to meet. 1t must have teen at least
sixteen inches long, and the blade could not
nave Deen less that i inches wide. Without
the least hesitation she applied the chisel to
the pencil and began shaving of slices of
wood around the point. Before the visitor
regdlned control OF his organs of speech, she
handed the pencil back to him, sharpened

How Lord coleridee startsd.

1t is related that Lord Coleridge sprang into
eminence as lawyer by adroitly Selling a
simple incident while he was pleading the
cause Of man on trial for murder, says Kate
Fields Washington. In the course of his
long argument candle in the Jury COX flick
cred and went out leaving the court room in
darkness. He stopped speaking. and the
silence in court for moment was oppressive
The scene, with its dark shadows, its grim
faces, the scarlet robes of the Judge, and bag
gard face of the murderer was worthy Of
Rembrandt. The usher replaced the light,
and Coleridge resumed his address. Cen.
tlemen OF the jury, you have a
solemn duty, very solemn duty TO dis
charge. The life of the prisoner at the bar
is in your hands You can take it-by a word.
You can extinguish that HE the candle by
your side was extingulshed moment ago
But ii is not in your power, il is not in the
power OF any of US OF anyone in this court or
out of ito restore that life, when once
taken. as that light has been restored" The
tone IN which the words were spoken. the ca
dence Of the voice and the action OF the ora
tor, with the inspiration OF the scene and the
hour, produced a thrilling effect. The iury
acquitted the prisoner and Coleridge S for
tune was made. He was never without a
brief after that.

Coxey and Debs.

Coxey's industrial armv is about TO be
Z driven out of Virginia by the authorities
of that state. Coxey appeared before
7 them a few days ago and told them he
could do no more for them. He got them
into the unfortunate plight in which they
7 find themselves, and he has deserted
( them. They served his purpose. He used
( them 70 gain a little unenviabl nOtoriety
and he has no further use for them They
can shift for themselves. Apparently it
/ is a matter of no consequence TO him
what becomes of them. For all he cares
they may starve. He lost nothing by
leading them 10 Washington. If reports
are to be credited he made money out Of
the venture. He is better of than he
was before he collected his industrial
army" but the poor fellows who com
posed the army are worse of. Naturally
they do not feel kindly toward him for
having got them into trouble and then
deserving them.
Debs' followers are in about as bad a
plight as CoXeys. And it is doubtful If
they feel any more kindly toward him
than Coxey's men do toward Coxey. 1t
is certain that some of them do not. The
Chicago Herald relates an incident that
shows the feeling toward Debs. Accord
ing to the Herald, the train which car
ried Debs from Chicago TO Terre Haute
the other day stopped at Danville. A
striker entered the car and shook hands
with him and then said: You ordered
me out on a strike and now I have lost
my Job Debs asserted that he did not
order the man to strike The man knew
better, and answered not only with words,
but with a blow. Bystanders interfered
and enabled Debs to escape from his as
sailant.
In Chicago there is still an appearance
of keeping up the strike, and hence there
is, as yet, no open denunciation of
Debs; but in their hearts the men who
have lost their Jobs must feel bitterly
toward him. They had no grievance
against their employees. They were not
complaining of their pay or their hours of
work. For aught the public knows they
were content, and were able to pro-
vide their families with the
necessaries and even comforts of life
Now they see starvation staring them in
the face. Is it not natural that they
should feel that Debs has done them a
great injury? Debs is still drawing his
salary of s., 900 year.
When the workmen who struck at the
command Of Debs, and lost their means
Of livelihood, take a second sober thought,
will they find anything in Debs' action to
admire and commend What did he at
tempt to do? To raise their wages or
better their condition IN any other way?
Nothing of the kind. He used them to
show his power. He said the railroads Of
the country should not use Pullman
coaches because the Pullman company
had trouble with their employees, and be-
cause the railroads refused to obey him,
he attempted to paralyze the commerce
Of the whole country. Because Debs
wanted to play the part Of a dictator
thousands of workmen are idle, and their
families are on the verge Of starvation.
