The worst of All.

There are many fools that worry this world
Fools old, and fools who're young,
Fools with fortunes and fools without,
Fools who dogmatize, fools who doubt,
Fools who snicker, and fools who shout,
Fools who never know what they're about,
And fools all cheek and tongue;
FOOLS who're gentlemen, fools who're cads,
Fools who're graybeards, and fools who're
lads;
Fools with manias, fools with fads,
Fools with cameras, fools with tracts,
Fools who deny the stubbornest facts,
Fools In theories, fools in acts,
Fools who quarrel, and fools who quack;
In fact, there are all sorts of fooisin the pack,
Fools fat thin, short and tall;
But of all sorts of fools, the fool with a gun
CNho points it at some one-of course, "in
fun
And fools all around till chance murder Ia
done)
Is the worstest fool of them ALL

GEM MS IN VERSE.


The man who gets up,
A fll'd guest from the banquet, and drains on
his cup,
Sees the last lamp extingushed, with cheerful
ness, goes
Well contented to bed and enjoys its repose.
But he who supped at the table of kings
And yet starved in the sight of luxurious
things;
Who hath watched the wine flow by himself
but half tasted;
Heard the music and yet missed the tune whe
hath wasted
One part of life's grand possibilities-friend,
That man will bear with him, be sure, to the
end,
A blighted experience, rancor within.
You may call it a virtue-I call it sin.

The pays That Are No More.

The Days That Are NO More.
Oh! to have lived when earth was young
And everything was charming,
When bears and tigers were like lambs
And snakes were not alarming!
When every day the sun shone out
The whole world went a-Maying,
And lovely maids on every hand
Through forests dense were strayingI
Oil to have known the peerless knights
Who went out dragon killing,
And who to succor innocence
Distressed were more than willingl
Oil to have owned the purses which
With gold were always glist'nings
Oil to have seen the fairies Como
To every baby's christ'ning.
Obi to have been for one hour on
A magic carpet sitting,
And in the twinkling Of an eye
From land to land go flittingl
Just to have onGPa giant seen,
Though at " ell distance,
And to prk cess in distress
Have offerM some assistance.
Obi to have had the lamps, the rings
That friendly genii granted!
Oh! to have met the fawns and swans
Which always were enchantedl
Oil to have lived when beggar men
Great kingdoms could inherit,
When princesses could marry churls,
And wishing was u merit!
When peasant lads and monarchs' sons
Were equally undaunted,
When every tree and rock and stream
Was by some fairy haunted.
OH to have known the time when tears
Were always turned to laughter,
And grief to joy, and people lived
Happily ever afterl

Bslated Passenger Tells or Lively Times
Serious Effects Of Blockade.
Mr.. G. E Beeson, editor Of the Vancou-
yer Independent. is in the city. having ar
rived on one of the belated Northern
Pacific trains from Spokane. To Posr-
ISTKLLIGESoEs reporter he related tales OF
varied EXPERIENCES on the trip Being an
enthusiastic cyclist he carried wheel
about with him and during the strike put
e to excellens use by converting 1t into
railroad velocipede. TO run on the rails.
BY this means he travelled from Spokane
to Eilensburg, where he was forced 10
await the rebuilding OF burned bridge.
Mr.. Beeson's invention created . great
deal of interest at stations along tho way.
particularly among railroad men, The
velocipede. he says. Is very speedy.
having made as high a. twenty-three
miles in one hour, and Ito miles in one
day with ease. At Sprague and Pasco. on
account of the new velocipede. he was
taken for O "spotter'' for the railroad
company. and ut Ellensburg matters were
even worse, 30 he concluded to take the
train.
Times at Ellensburg." he said, "were
rather lively, for many reasons: Four
trains and several hundred passengers,
soldiers, miIitiamen and deputy marshals
confined gave the town lively appear
ance but the crowd nearly ate the people
out Of supplies. the sugar supply being
very scanty, and brown at that At the
depot all were compelled to kill time as
best they could. Some of the passengers
went fishing, some played cards, some
talked politics. the Populists. who were
returning home from the convention at
North Yakima, howied billions and
billions, and the militia boys, some
of the younger ones, played with
handcars. never failing to keep their eyes
on their guns and the commissary. Some
of the militiamen worked like heroes at re-
pairing the damaged bridge across the
Yakima river few miles above Ellens-
burg. When the train pulled out, after a
delay of four days, there was a hurrah that
would have done credit at q Fourth of July
celebration"
Mr.. Beeson reports that great damage
will result to crops IN the upper country
from lack of harvesting machinery.
which is supposed to be tied up along the
road in ''dead" freight trains. At Prosser,
he says, farmers have very few grain bags.
and they cannot handle their grain until
traffic is resumed on the railroads. Very
large cereal crops will seriously suffer
throughout Eastern Washington generally
for the same reason. Assistant Superin-
tendent Wentworth and his men at Ell
lensburg, Mr.. Beeson says deserve the
highest credit for the kindly treatment of
the passenger and troops during their stay
there.

About Union square several platforms
had been erected for the speakers. Ad-

and Hebrew, platform being assigned TO
the speakers of each language. Lucien
Saniel, q fiery socialist, was called upon
to preside. He made q speech strongly
condemning Pullman for his treatment
of his employees. and then denounced
capital in the usual fashion. Charles
II. Machett, who was the social
ist candidate for governor of this

referred st some length TO the strike, and.
after condemning Pullman and the rail-
road magnates, exclaimed: 1--WE must
meet them with the only weapon ayaila-

others followed in the same strain.
Resolutions condemning Pullman and
capitalists generally. and calling on the
