q Winter Sien.


From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
! know that winters coming now
Not by the barren trees,
Nor yet the schOoiOOy's rudy brow,
Barred to the bracing breeze;
/ know it comes with rapid stride,
For with a startling roar,
Calls grandpa, from the chimney side,
will someone shut that dOOr?"
My t.u;id ueighbor makes a call,
As in the warmer days,
And through the dust Of memorys hail
Our conversation strays;
She pauses ere she passes out.
70 have Just one word more
When bellows grandpa S angry shout,
Nv ny don't YOU shut the door,"
My minister comes tripping in,
With eyes that sadly roll.
To talk of all the arts of sin
That sorely press the soul;
Yet ere one stealthy foot hath trod
Upon the paTlOr floor,
Hath grandpa started from his nod,
And yelled, "Oh, shut the door
Though other polar signs may fall
10 warn of coming storm,
And cen the scattered, showering hail
Melt in the sunlight warm
Away with doubt! ! know full well
The seasons here once more,
When paralyzed by gradpa's yell
Why don't you shut the d-O-o-r?'
I censure not his harmless rage,
BY chilling senses tost,
Upon whose head the hand of age
Hath traced eternal frost;
l know twill be a lovely dream
Upon times drcary shore,
When only memory hears him scream
Why don't you shut the d-o-o-r?"

1t is said q bill viii be introduced in the
legislature Of New York at it's next session
providing for the infection of corporal pun
ishment upon mon who have been con-
victed OF gross acts of cruelty to children,
1.-THE bill" says New York dispatch to
the st. Louis Republic, "is especially de-
signed to deal with the assailants of little
girls" The humane societies that recent
" held a meeting at Albany all endorse the
proposition to make the whipping post the
penalty for such crimes. 1t has not been
a great while since they lynched men for
assaults upon young girls in New York
state. In case the bill becomes law, 1t
will be interesting to note II the whipping
post will accomplish that which the gal
lows and Judge Lynchs tree have failed
to do.

The populists OF Kansas thought they
ought to rule the state. The people
thought otherwise. The populists now
think, since they cannot rule, that they
can ruin; therefore they have started a
movement for all omceholders of the
populist persuasion to 90 on strike the
day the new governor is inaugurated.
Their purpose is to take revenge upon the
people by disorganizing and disarranging
the public business. They care nothing
for the state when IL does not pay them
salaries. They care nothing for the peo-
pie when the people do not vote for them.
The populist leaders in Kansas are a
set Of demagogues, a parcel OF frauds, a
company Of destroyers.

of the hill, but a stage line still runs be-
tween Deadwood and Spearfish. Perched
beside the driver of this stage, the tourist

Don't you like trout?" asked the trav-
eler in desperation turning in his seat in
a way that demanded an answer

In China they have custom of COM
hitting hara-kiri for the purpose of
avenging ones wrongs. For instance, a
person insulted stands in the presence of
the person who has insulted him and rips
his own stomach open. How that hurts
the other fellow isn't apparent. However,
as the orientals practice it, it may be that
as a last resort the Chinese army will COM
init hara-kiri in the presence of the Jap
anese, by way Of avenging themselves
upon the little men from the land Of the
rising sun. The pigtails will probably
never be able to get even in any other
way.

that OF the Blaine family 1t will be bought by
a party of Chicago capitalists and negotiations
are pending for the transfer This house

entertainment SOON attracted the attention of
wealthy residents, and there was quite contest
between several of them TO secure is possession.
John G. Calhoun occupied it twice, once when
in Jackson's Cabinet and again when Vice
President. Henry Clay lived in it when he was
Secretary OF State. Later on tho Washington
Club leased the premises and il became the
abiding place of the fashionable men who gath

from its doors to find the bullet from the pistol
of Gen. Dan Sickes that killed him, and sew

The Secretary OF State under the provisions
of the act OF Aug. Is, 1894, was requested TO
notify Congress at the commencement of the
next session as to the proprety of continuing
the Bureau of American Republics, and whether
any obligation existed or the part OF the United
States to continue it. The reply was sent to
the Senate last week, the Secretary taking the
ground that this Government cannot in good
faith withdraw from the organization. More
than a majority OF the Republics continue to
pay their assessments, thereby signifying their
desire for the continuance of the bureau. The
agreement ty its terms was TO continue in force
for 10 years, aud it expressly provides that
country becoming party TO it should withdraw
