THE OLD HOUSE.

Cold and cheerless, bare and bleak,
The OLD house fronts the shabby street;
And the dull windows eastward gaze,
AS their cobwebbed brows they raise,
just as though they looked to see
What had hecome OF you and me,
And all the other children.
The garden at the side-you know
Where mother'e flowers used to grow,
Has run as wild as we'd have grown
II we had not her training known.
The vines she bent still twine each tree,
As cling her prayers to you and me,
And all the other children.
Over the caves, wrinkled and bare,
The gray moss floats like tangled hair,
II we had heard these echoes flung
Down the long halls when we were young,
We'd have scurried off to bed
You and Through the gloom o'erhead,
With all the other children.
On our wide orbs the eyes Of night
Gazed softly with mesmeric light;
When mother bent above our bed;
The silver moonlight touched her head,
And in my dreams her face I'd see,
MadOnnalike shine over me
Shine over all the children.
The dust drifts DER the garret floor,
The little feet tread there no more;
But DER the stage still standing there,
The muse first staIked with tragic air,
And whispered low to you and me
OF golden days that were to be
For us and all the children.
Goodbye, old house! Thy tattered cloak
Is fringed with moss and gray with smoke,
Within thy walls we used to see
A gaunt old work named Poverty;
Yet from thy rafters' dingy bars
A ladder stretched up to the stars
For us and all the children.

LnCrosse Chronicle,
Senator Villas, who is chairman OF
the committee to inquire into the
causes of the distress OF the country, is
reported to have snubbed " Coxey by
refusing to see him. The account in
dicates that he did not call on the
committee but on Mr.. Villas personally
and it was no snub to refuse an inter-
view with any man who came in that
way. AS for Coxey, he can give no
information about the prevailing dis
tress of. He is the commander of a
gang Of men who do not work or seek
to work. but are living in swinish idle
ness on the contributions Of men who
do labor and are blind enough to sup
pose they are maintaing some princi-
pie by allowing Coxey and all his kind
to sponge upon them. Idlers who
consume but do not produce contrib
ute to the prevailing distress and do
their share by furnishing the commit
tee an object lesson.

A Bear Hunt ut Shullsburg.

Southwestern Local.
Tuesday morning one Of the black
bears belonging to Lemen's Circus,
made its escape from its cage after
reaching the Driving Park. For few
minutes there was considerable activi-
ty in the vicinity of the bears cage,
when bruin was discovered In the act
of declaring It's constitutional rights
to freedom. Its first act after view
ing the situation from the outside Of
It's cage, was to smite, with his huge
paw one of the circus men who APP
preached 1t with rope. The fellow
cried for help, which had been quite
numerous in the vicinity, but just at
this moment did not seem to be load
ed for bear, as they were moving with
celebrity away from the animal. After
considerable diminishing by Lemen's
employees, who had come to the rescue
In large force, the animal was secured
and placed with his companions in his
cage.
