LOVES REMINDERS.

Shy bluebird on yon maple spray.
My coming causes you surprise.
You cry aloud and fly away
On wings that glitter az they rise;
So blue are they, so skycy cltnr.
Unequaled bliss their bcnming brings;
For now think Of one most dear,
Whose eyes are bright us blucbird's wings
From covert groves glidcs forth n trill
OF wild birds singing Justify,
Yet while | list my thoughts will still
Seek her who Is most dear TO me,
For. oh, her soft and soothing voice
Sounds merrior than the leaping throne
or waters when spring rills rejoice
Its music mates the linnets song.
Upon bourgeoned white birch broad
A squirrel gambols spry and fleet,
Until, by my rude spaniel awed,
She higher mounts on hasty feet;
And rs she bounds without q fall
From lower limbs TO limbs above
Her agile motions well recall
The flake-light footballs Of my love.

Ready 10 Rend Colombia with Civil War
Causing Scarcity Of Help.

New YORK, Oct. 9.-Some interesting
news of the political situation in Colombia
vas obtained from a passenger of the
steamer Adirondack which arrived today
from Port Limon and Kingston. I'm
mediately after the death of President
Nunez, September Is, the leaders of the
two political factions in Colombia began
preparations for placing their party at the
head of the government. Each move to-
yard this end made by one party was fol-
owed by an immediate and more
aggressive action on the part of
he other and at the present moment there
Is said to be well equipped and we'll dis
iplined armies ready at the slightest provo
cation to pounce upon each other and de-
eide by force of arms the future head of
government in the state of Colombia.
1t is said the drafting of men, 10th for
ign and native, into these different mill
AIRY companies has caused such dearth of
killed labor and all laboring men that the
iifferent railroad companies are offering
fabulous salaries TO engineers, fremen,
and train hands who will take the place of
men forced into service by the contending
factions.

TRIES TO EXPLAIN
why Mills Can't Afford to Resume at The Old
Rates.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. "a promi-
rent manufacturer, present at today's meet
ing makes the following statement 9Th.
impression seems to be gaining ground out
side the city that the only product of the
local mills is print cloths known as 64x64
square. 1t has been argued therefrom thai
because prints are selling at cents a yart
and cotton at 6 IA cents pound, there is
ample margin for profit to allow immediate
resumption of work at the old rate Of
wages.
As matter of fact fully half the prod
uct of the mills today is a better grade OF
goods than prints, for which there has been
no market for some weeks. Little demand
is existing, based on prices that offer abso
lutely no profit to the manufacturers
Based on surface Indications, the argu
ments can readily be made to show why tn
mills could afford to resume operations al
3 cent price for straight print goods, bu'
shen there is no market for straight prints
or odd goods of better grade, the publ
will see there is some justice in our posi-
ton in refusing to resume work, and pill.
up stock produced at high rate of wages.
