A MILL-CIRl POET.
She Sings Of the Factory and of Home

Skipped Stitches" is the odd title of n
little book of verse written by Miss
Anna j. Grannlss. working girl In a
mill. The volume IL published I'm Keene.
n. H., but we believe the author Is in
Plainville. Conn. where she has sung in
her mill-work like a lnnet in its cage
Miss Granniss believes In the virtue OF a
cheerful philosophy as tending to brighten
life generally, not excepting the mill sew
ing-room. with all its whirr and buzz
She had found many admirers for her
song Of THE Old Red Cradle" as sung
in THE Old Homestead" and in Skipped
Stitches" she will work her way to new
friends. In the prelude she sings of
things that were not supposed TO be
POLITICALLY inspiring, thus:
The sun comes up and the day is crown'd
With its face turn'd toward the west
And all day long In the mill Is found
the hustle of tolls unrest
The steam sings out TO the silent steel.
Till pulley and shaft reply;
The thread unwinds from It's mimic reel,
And slips through the needles eye.
Click, click. and over the long white track
The stitches begin to go
Like tiny steps where none turn back
In crossing a field of snow.
Or whether the softest winds blow
Or the north grows dark with fears,
While the changing seasons come and 60
I'm stitching away the years.
And the great world never asks or cares
What may go in with the seams:
Whether bits OF song, or broken prayers
Or only toiler's dreams.
But something. born of the toll and grind
Keeps pleading To be confessed
1t cries from its cradle in the mind,
And II Will not let me rest.
And so. when the days and seams are
long,
When the pulleys creak and moan,
/ Just skip a stitch and sing a song,
But the world has never known.
The songs generally are lively and good
The author touches many features of New
England life, not alone in the MILL but in
the old farmhouse and the remembered
family scenes. She seems to be a CHEEKY,
unconventional, decidedly courageous, and
rather original young woman, a creditable
poetical representative of New England
hfe, and showing a reverent religious
spirit withal.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Reports are cur
rent that the erstwhile prominent
Democrat, Judge Lyman Trumbull, in
appearing among Populists as a cam
paign speaker, is bearing out part of
a deep laid scheme. 1t is asserted that
having made himself solid with the
Populists he hopes to be the choice for
United States senator of such repre-
sentatives as that party may elect to
the legislature. 1t is not impossible
that the Populists may hold the ball
ance of power in the joint assembly
and it is claimed that Judge Trumbull
sees in such condition a chance to
have himself forced upon the Demo-
Gratis, as q compromise candidate and
