Chicago reporter, a glance at her feet
removes any suspicion that she is a Chi
cago girl.
Mrs. Debs is very indignant over the
charge that her husband organized the
recent strike from mercenary motives.
HE is anything but mercenary. He re-
fused a salary of $50, 900 a year from
the locomotive firemen and took his
present position at SO, 0OO-a paltry sum
when his abilities are considered He
has always been the friend Of the poor,
and his sympathies are ever with the
oppressed. He is always on the side Of
the under dog in the fight. -
In speaking of her husband further
she said: MIR. Debs is a very domestic
man. He spends all his evenings at
home and has no outside pleasures. We
have a very fine library, and Eugene
takes all the periodicals and reads them
thoroughly. He is a great admirer of
Shakespeare and Victor Hugo, and his
middle name, Victor, was given him in
honor of the great Frenchman. Every
body who knows Eugene likes him. If
his worst enemy came into the room
where he was and remained half an
hour, he would be sure to go away a
friend. He is not a society man, and
his home and his books are all his pleas

Ny soul was like the sea
Before the moon was made;
Moaning in vague immensely,
of its own strength afraid,
Unrestful and unstaid.
Through every rift it foamed in vain
About the earthly prison,
Seeking some unknown thing in pain,
And sinking restless back again,
For yet no moon has risen;
Its only voice vast dumb moan
OF utterless anguish speaking,
1t lay unhopctully alone
And lived but in an amless seeking.
So was my soul; hut when L was full
OF unrest to o'erloading
4 voice of something beautiful
WHISPERED . dim turboding,
And yeE 50 soft: so sweet, so love,
II had not more Of joy than woe;
And as the sea doth oft lie still,
Making his waters meet,
As if by ;lu unconscious will,
For the moons silver feet,
So lag my soul within mine eyes
When thou its guardian moon didst rise.
And now, howe'cr its wares above
May toss and seem unrestlul,
One strong eternal law of love
With guidance sure and peaceful,
As calm and natural US breath
Moves its great deeps through Life ant
Death.
