IN THE STREET WHERE LIVE.

In the street where live. at the end of the
town.
There is never a rattle of wheels up and down.
But the lullaby music of rustling leaves
And the chrIup of snug little birds in the caves,
While the apples that hang in the trees DER the
lawn
Are as red as the sun when he leers through the
dawn.
And the sunshine is filtering ever between
Old natures own blending of orange and green,
For the leaves in the clear autumn time
gay
AS the dress OF the little miss the way
When she trip, with that charm that demure
ness give,
TO the little gray church in The street where |
live.
There are eyes gray anc tender and eyes blue
and sweet
Thai look through the windows ll.st face on
my street,
And a pleasure there ID. when the hours grow
late,
In watching the lovers who hang Ger the gate
And whisper such nothings as lovers will give,
In the shadows that fall in the street where ]
live.
In the street where live-ah. It's many long
years
Since / lived there in truth, and It's only
through tears
! can see the old place. For the street it has
grown,
Till the highway is paved, and the houses are
stone,
And it's only in dreams, when the stars glim-
mer down,
That live in the street at the end of the town.

Here is a good comic opera story:
Marie Wainwright was speaking of her
nervousness on the first night of a new
production, and she said that an absurd
contretemps nearly threw her off her
balance during first night. She con-
tinued: Perhaps you remember that
as Dame Hannah in 'Ruddigore' had
to go on with small dagger, with
which l was supposed to threaten the
wicked baronet's life. When my turn
came round, the dagger had disappeared
and was nowhere to be found. Moth
ing would induce me to go on without
my property. and although Mr.. Bar
rington implored me to appear without
it was resolnte Of course there was
a terrible stage wait, and at last Mr..
Darlington grew desperate, and forcing
something into my hand absolutely
pushed me on 10 the stage. And what
do you think it was?' asked Miss Vain
wright, laughing at the "reminiscences.
"Of all things, it was a large gas key!
[ contrived, however. TO conceal the
absurd makeshift from the audience,
but when | had to hand my supposed
dagger to Mr. Grossmith he most un-
kindly gave me away How can I kill
myself with this thing?' he said, hold
ing up the gas key in its entirety to II 9
audience OF course there was a per-
feet howl of laughter, and for some
minutes we were unable to continue.

He Was "No SIouch" at Pool.

He was tall, lean and lanky, wore
peaked cap, had hayseed in his hair
and resembled a typical farmer from
the remotest part of up country. He
was interested in watching game Of
pool in Smith street resort and was
full of exclamations and comments as
the game progressed. Then he was in
veigled into game with people who
imagined that they had a dead cinch OH
him. The long arms and lank legs hung
all over the table for u moment, and
then the game was over. An expert
was at once pitted against him for
money, and the betting on the outside
became even. But the expert. like the
man who drove the hearse, was not in
it when the countryman had finished
playing. "Gosh all hemlock!" observed
the up country individual, Il reckon
am kinder soft, but you kin bet your
boots I'm no sloucb when it comes to
shown pool balls - And then he pulled
out a salt bag, deposited his winnings
in the deepest corner and shuff1ed out,
leaving the vanquished bettors to ru-
inmate upon the perverseness Of human
Judgment. .-Brookly Standard Union.
Easy Stairs to Climb.
There is a great deal of stair climb
ing to be done here before we shall
"climb dem golden stains, and those
who are about to build would do well
to see to it that all the stairs be made
as easy as possible. The very acme Of
ease is reached in stairs that have treads
~ to Is inches broad and risers 8 to I
inches high. The run or distance III
most houses is too short to allow of this,
but they should come as near it as the
architect of the house will permit. 1t
is SO easy to climb such stairs that one
hardly is aware of any effort. Num-

Origin of The Historic Fed, White and
Blue CoIors of France.
Some 10 or so years before France
was involved in the flames of the revo-
lution-that is. at the epoch of the war
of the succession. when she was in
close alliance with Spain and Bavaria
it was thought desirable to distin-
guish The allied soldiers by cockade,
which combined the colors of the three
nations-the white of France, the red
of Spain, and the blue of Bavaria.
To none Of such incidents, however
would it be wise to attribute the origin
of the historic tricolor and cockade
adopted by revolutionary France. At
the outset there seemed a likelihood
that green, which Camille Desmoulins
had popularized at the Palais Royal,
would have become the national color,
but men remem bered in time that it
was that of the livery of the Comte
d'Artois, the most unpopular of the
Bourbon princes. and it was thereupon
discarded.
A proposition was then made TO as
sumo the colors of the city of Paris
blue and red, as Dumas reminds us in
his six Ans Apres. To these was
added the white of so many glorious
memories, because it had been selected
by the national guard-always faithful
to the throne and its traditions.
Not until some months after. the cap
ture of the Bastille was the tricolor
definitely adopted when Bailly and La
fayette presented i. to Louis XVI in the
great hall of the Hotel de Vile, and the
convention issued decree in which it
was described as consisting of three
colors = disposees en- trois bandes
egales, de maniere que le bleu soft at
tache la garde dn pavilion, le blanc
au milieu, ct le rouge flottant dams les
airs''-that is, in equal vertical Sec
tions, with the blue inward, the red
outward and the white between.
This is the historic flag which Ma
poleon's legions, in conjunction with
their eagles, bore victoriously from the
Seine to the Elbe, the Tagus, the Boro-
dino and tho Danube, which they plant
ed victoriously on the walls of almost
every European capital. the Year

AMONG the annual almanacs which are
put into print at this season of the year,
the New York Tribune Almanac must be
rated as easily the first. Although en-

States, the Tribune Almanac is absolute
ly devoid Of ~partisonship. The "arith-
metic man" who figures up majorities
the night after election, lays aside his
political affiliations, when he comes to
work upon the almanac. Accuracy,
fairness and completeness are the watch.

wide distribution of the Tribune Altman

ton up to date, and is the largest and
most complete number ever issued. The

The extreme justice and fine discrimi-
nation of the administration, in matters
pertaining to the pensions of union
soldiers, is certainly touching. Com
missioner Lochren has notified q Bur.
leigh county veteran, whose name is not
necessary, and who has been receiving
the sum Of SO a month from the govern
nent, that the departmental it's wisdom,
has decided to cut his pension to IS q
month. Had the pension been stopped
altogether, not so much would have been
thought Of the action, as of the reduc-
ton Of 81 a month. The officials, who,
1900 miles away, can compute to as fine
a degree as So a month, the extent of the
governments obligation to q veteran, are
certainly blessed with an extraordinary
perception. The reduction Of a pension
from 50 a month to IS q month is about
as small an action as the government Of
the United States has often been guilty
of. aE

day, or whether it was merely a happen
ing of chance, yet the fact remains that
at Wellsville, o., four young men on
Sunday went to a quiet place on the
hillside under an overhanging rock, and
after building a fire began their usual
Sunday recreation of poker playing.
About 4 O'Clock the rock gave way and
all four were caught beneath it. Both
of the legs of one were broken at the

was hurt internally and cannot recover.
Still another has a broken leg and he
was cut about the body. The young
men could not be rescued until the rock
was broken into pieces.

.SPECULAT1oNs OF the passage Of the

he says. ITO be sure, party spirit is
running high, and the probabilities are
that the majority will keep their ranks
sufficiently together to pass the bill.

country by reducing the duty on Cana
dian sole leather. Canada permits tea

mits without duty. The tea and coffee

structions, and SO was responsible for

it wllllfall fiat Of itself, is nevertheless
what might have been expected. It is a
cowardly attempt to make Willis the

tration of its burden. To those who
have read Willis's instructions. it will be
evident that his.actions were but a logi-
cal result. He did just what he was
told to do, and the report that he ex-

CHICAGO advices say that H. P. Rucker,
mi Of the North Dakota fair commits.
sioaers has returned from visit through
the northwest and reports much interest
regarding the coming exposition at
Antwerp, Belgium. The railroads will
necessarily have much to do with a sue
cessful exhibit from the northwest, g.
pecially as regards the farming exhibits.
Some clever little sketches of the gen.
eral outline of the Antwerp buildings
and grounds have been received, and
show in the very center of the place the
unique and graceful outlines of the
American building, its lowered corners
surrounding the glass dome from which
will float in glory the American flag. Its
peculiarly desirable location proves the
foreign appreciation of things American
and it behooves the northwest to equal,
if not to overshadow, the efete east in
matters Of exhibits. The Great North
ern and Northern Pacific roads have ex-
pressed their interest in the matter and
it is probable that results will be shown
in their early decision. Mr.. Rucker
wishes individual interest as we'll, e.
p~ecially among those who were ex-
hibitors during the Columbian exposi-
ton. Much is also expected of the
ladies in exhibiting the cultured side of
life in the northwest. The American
plaisance, in the southeast section of the
grounds, will contain as many bewilder-
ingly interesting fads as the clever
Yankee head can suggest, and if the
financial result eventually reaches that
attained by the foreign make up of Jack
son Park Midway, satisfaction will be
complete for Uncle Sans children. Mr..
Rucker says the northwestern states are
making rapid progress in the arrange
ment for exhibits, the railroads taking
an energetic part. The "Sitting Bull
Cabir," which created much interest for
sight-seers on the Midway, is already
planned as one of the interesting spots
IN the Antwerp exposition, and will be
in charge of q we'll known gentleman
from North Dakota.

ON the last day Of this month, says the
Chicago Record, the last patent on the
essential parts of the Bell telephone will
expire and these instruments, which
have heretofore been obtainable only by
renting, may then be bought and sold
like any other commodity. The price,
whatever it may be, will be moderate,
and perhaps merely nominal. The ex-
pert Of electricity who contributed to
the Records New Year review, estimated
that 9 pair of telephones may soon be
bought for from $40 to $l5, or even less.
For large business concerns where Office
telephones will be of rare convenience,
FOR use in homes and for those desiring
private wire connections, the expiration
of the patent and the consequent cheap.
ness OF telephones will be q matter of
material benefit.

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNh: FRIDAY, JAN. &c 1894

view is a sound one; and yet
it would seem that under the
present and prospective excessively low,
rates for money, the banks would find it
to their interest to invest temporarily a
liberal portion of their immense idle
funds in a bond yielding 8 per cent. and
which, with the recovery of confidence,
might yield some ultimate profit on the
principal. Should the banks not be
liberal subscribers for the bonds, it will
probably be for other reasons than be-
aus it would not pay them to SUBJ
scribe. The method of issuing the loan
is not likely to prove to be a popular
one; though that is probably the very
thing Nj. Carlisle intended it to be. It
is a narrow method of conducting so
large an operation by q great government;
and what Mr.. Carlisle may wi in the
way of q fractional commission he will
far more than lose through the lower
prices likely to be offered in the absence
Of the ordinary met rods of 'sending of"
such a transaction; to say nothing Of the
loss of eclat that would attend the much
larger offers that would he brought out
through the customary modes of nego-
tiation. = = = The improvement in
general business that set in with the
opening of the year is making very
gratifying progress. In the leading
branches of trade, there are as many
buyers here as is usual at this season of
the year. Traders are losing their late
excessive caution, for the reason that the
exhaustion Of their stocks compel them
to buy; and for the further reason that,
as they see nc cause for expecting lower
prices, there Is no motive for continuing
their late policy Of postponement. These
signs of returning activity are encourag-
ing manufacturers to resume work, and
to-day probably 60 per cent. of the
factories that were idle three weeks g
are running on full time. These are
facts that must soon produce their effects
in the Wall street markets."
