is IT TRUE

Down in a dark, damp cellar baby cries for bread;
A wan-faced wife and mother pillows the tiny head
On breast which cold hunger robbed Of natures
Over heart slow beating where hope died long before.
Where is the husband the fater-he should for these
Give not hasty verdict wait eer you judge him, please
Ont in the CITY highways drenched by the driving rain,
He is begging chance to abor-to toll for the gain.
Out in great, sad army-the unemployed that waits,
bonqng the narrow byways haunting the rich mans gates,
He asks not charity mind you but his heritage
The right to live and his living best he
Out since early morning, wandering here and there
He claims but place to labor matter how or where
Bees but a chance of earnng( obeying the old behest
Rread bv the sweat face the he loved the best
Sick with despair and hunger in the pouring rain
He sues for the right Godgven but pleading all in vain
Home to his damp cellar he goes the hours drag by
To through the gathering shadows his babys waing cry
Can he 90 to them his starving wife and child
Back to the street saggers, through desperation Wild
All is he less than that he takes cakeno
After his long days fasting from bakers goodly stoe
When tortured by woe and craving begging chance to slave
Society passed unheedng and naugh to the famshed gave
But now socetys safeguard the law in insants time,
Laws heavy upon him who has dared commit crime
Brought into court next morning, branded thief"
He serves his weary sentence, haunted by awful grief,
To find when the days were numbered now real was the pha
TOMS dread,
ono since in the chill dark his wife child lay dead
"Ded of neglect hunger" the papers told the tale
Whe the husbandwas serving sentence forpetty theft in jail
Buried at cost the city, granted pauper's grave.
They whom haoved them would have given his life

cogent reason, for the absence of any tendency.to

indecsive fluctuations resting the uncertainty by

speculative Records Broken.

NEW YORK. May l1.--R. G. Dun Co.'s We eekly
Review of Trade: The speculation In grain has
again broken records with the lowest price ever
made for wheat, atno ough receipts smaller
than year ago. while exports are smaller by more
than quarter. The prevailing belief is the yield
will, as in recent years. exceed the Government
indications, which are again pointing to short
crop.
Corn has changed but little, and corn products
have been fairly steady, with oil and coffee un-
changed but cotton is weaker IN tone, although re-
ceipts from plantations are little smaller than
year ago.
1t is a striking evidence of the general lack OF
6denee that there Is so little speculation while
money is abundant almost eyond precedent.
