Against the backlog glowing red,
And snaky flames, Mcdusalikc,
Coilcd ard UucoilCd about her head.
And, 10! the inaCnsUtc cardboard lived,
The fire had set its spirit free,
And lovingly her fair white arms
Rose up to clasp and cling to me.
And when the picture blackened lay
Upon its film n profile true
Unrolled in hazy silhouette,
Then darted up the chimney's flue,
And where above the ashes gray
A blue flame bubble seemed to float
Istraightway saw her face again,
A bunch Of violets at her throat.
Oh, nevermore may / be freed
From this her presence; tits too late;
"Bismillah.' so the Moslem cries,
And |, the Christian, echo, "Fate!"

Comes back to where our pathways met
And walks the journeys end with me.

RIDING THE GOAT.
A Secret Society Sued For Inju-
ries Received at Initiation
Ceremonies.

E. +. Wickersham of Dies Moi
mes, Ia, has appealed his singular
action in equity against the Mo-
dern Woodmen of America to the |
Supreme Court. It is one of the
strangest lawsuits that was ever
brought. Wickersham was ad-
mitted to membership in the lodge
there and during the initiation was
injured. He was rolled off table
while he was blindfoldsd and his
hearing impaired, he claims. 1t
appears that he was the kind OF
man that secret societies "have
fun with" when they are initiated.
The Woodmen carried it SO far
that they made the victim angry,
and he proceeded to make trouble
for some of the most prominent
young business men of the city
who we're members of the order
and helped to inflict the injury
upon Wickersham. He brought
suit in the district court for s., 600
damages. He stated in his petit
ton that "while the defendants
herein were engaged in the cere-
mony they carelessly and without
any fault on plaintiffs part expos
ed plaintiff to great danger in this
that, they having placed him upon
a table without his knowing or
any notice being gwen him of
what was to be done, they danced
about said table, going through
some form of action of careless,
negligent manner. One OF the de-
PENDANTS knocked against the Ia
BILE and plaintiff fell, partially los
ing his hearing and SCATTERING his
nervous system 80 that he is una
BILE to do any hard work. The
case is an important one, as it will
require the Supreme court to say
how far a member of secret So
ciety can be compelled to reveal
the secrets of the order when call
ed to the witness stand. Wicker
sham was defeated in the lower
court on a technicality but the

A YEARS RECORD.
EDITOR JOURNAL:

August y, 1000, ehO oPoSioA "O
sion of Congress, called by Grover
Cleveland to deal with the silver
question, began. During the in
tervening twelve months Congress
has been in almost continuous ses-
sion. After adjourning on Novem-
Der l, it met again on December
.. So that, during the year just
now more than finished, there
were only a few weeks i'll which
the Democratic majority in both
houses were not at work trying to
embody their views in legislation.
1t was the first time in thirty-se-
ven years that there had been a
Democratic executive, backed up
by a Democratic majority in both
houses. There was no Republic
can Senate to block Democratic
legislation of the House, as was
the case during Cleveland's first
term of Office. The road was clear
Of all obstruction. AT last, after
a years waiting, the Democratic
party had, chance of showing
what it could do for the country
when in power.
Well, what has it done? Three
months after the assembling OF
Congress, on Aug. 7, 1893, there
were more mills and factories clo-
sed and more men out of employ
ment than there ever had been il
the history of the country. The
soup house, which had made its
appearance in 1857, the last time
the Democrats had possession O
the government, reappeared. Long
lines of men could be seen inNev
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, and all other Northern, Eas
tern and Western cities and towns
drawn up before the places where
free bread was dispensed, each pa
! tiently waiting for his turn to re
, ceive the loaf that would keep hin
!. and his from starvation. Every
where men who, but a few month";
+ before, were in receipt of good wa
! ges, were vainly seeking employ
|. ment. During the first MIN
I months of 1893 and 1894, three
millions and half of the labor
ing classes were thrown out of EN-
ployment. In the mean time mil
lions of dollars invested in minin
and manufacturing plants wer
lying idle. The plants themselves
instead of creating new wealth
were daily depreciating IN valu
on account of not being used.
Week after week came and wen
and still the country hoped agains
hope. The administration organ
from Maine to California assure
us that the repeal of the Sherma
law would revive business. A
last, on October 30, the Sherman
law was repealed, and Congress
adjourned on Nov. 3. Now sure
ly the times would improve if, a
Cleveland and his mouthpiece
proclaimed, a silver policy was g
the bottom of the trouble. But n
signs of returning prosperity coul
be discovered. Congress met j
regular session on December
and began the work of tariff tinl
ering; the country, in the NEAR
time, suffering from uncertsint
as to the outcome of the work {

CLIMAKES.


This is world of olimsIes and that
which follows climaxee. When o man buys
horse he usually buys II atits climax, and
therefore It never seems as good to him as
1t did when he was persuaded to part with
his valued plunks for 1t. When q man
buys stocks he usually manages to buy
when they are at their climax and soon
they "bust," and "bust" him in the pro-
cess. A man msrries, and both he and
the woman fnd that the deed was done at
a time of climax. A man becomes great
ard famous. and just as be looks
to himself and to others as If he
were about to mount still higher some
thing hits him and he and othere
find that he was at his climsx just
when he looked the most prosperous and
probable. For instance, when Napoleon
started out for Russia 1t looked to himself
and others ss If he were about to take
Europe by the neck and sit on her. He
began bis journey with all the pemp and
Circumstance f glorious and triumphant
war. He ended 1t in secrecy and shame,
and was never thereafter worehipped and
feare az he had been.
1t looks to us very much as IL another
great man had reached and passed his
climax. We mean Grover Cleveland, pres
ident of the United States, and great and
good friend of Sister Donimis. Not many
moons ago 1t seemed to many as If Mr..
Cleveland were at least q real Man of Des-
tiny, and it seemed to some as If he
were more than human. He had
become President against the wish of the
leaders of his own party. He was wor-
shipped by the mugwumps as one who
could do no wrong. And his luck i'm
pressed all who gave it thought. There
was that peculiar feeling about him which
experienced dealers in stocks have learned
to 1e,egnize as indicative of the top of
market. He appeared go strong and with
such a rising tendency that he didn't
seem likely to ever come down.
But he was even then at his
climax and the drop was surely
preparing. He is not worshipped
now. It Is seen that he is not only human,
but even stupidity human. Tits plain that
he can wrong. 1t IL plain that he has
done wrong. His judgment is discredited
and his patriotism doesn't shine. There is
even strong and somewhat general call
for his impeachment. He Is no longer
looked upon as the savior of his country,
and his country feels that If 1t can get
through his administration without total
loss 1t will do we'll.
Sic transit gloria mundi. Things are
not what they seem, and when they most
