His Verse.

Years ago, when albums in which
friends and acquaintance, and some
times even strangers, were asked to
write few lines were scattered
abroad through the land, many amusing
specimens of impromptu versifcation
found their way into print.
A clever writer who was paying a
short visit at farmhouse was handed
by the daughter of the house superan-
nuated account book, ruled for pounds,
shillings and pence, which had been
converted into an album, and in which
she requested him to write something
funny. .
He complied with her request by pen
ming the following verse, which, after
some bewilderment, she managed to
read:

Where hope is scarce worth 6
Our joys are borne SO fleeing hence | !
That they are dear at liS
And yet to stay here many are willing,l |

THOSE who fear that under free coin

maintained between the two metals,
overlook or purposely ignore the fact
that when all of money metal is subject
to coinage it ceases to be a commodity

limited that it is subject to depreciation.

ACCORDING to the views of Post 10 G.
A R of Worcester, Mass, Memorial Day
was not established for the people at
large, but only for members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The post
has passed resolutions condemning the
proposed dedication of the confederate
soldiers monument at Chicago on that
day. If the day is to be regarded as the
peculiar property of an order, then the
private citizens who have been accus-
toned to devote the day to the memories
of their dead should also be excluded
As no reference was made to this class
of citizens it is evident that the Worces-

spirit. It is a rare thing for hatred to
extend beyond the grave in this age of

The Kentucky Derby Promises to Be
q Fine Contest
LOUISVILLE. KY, May 4.-Halma, Ga
lon d. Or and Potsdam have arrived and all
of the Kentucky derby starters are now
ready for the battle on Monday. There
will be six horses go to the post. The
other three are Basso, Curator and
Laureate.
A fortnight ago it looked like q walk
over for Laureate, with the two great
victories to his credit. Then came his
defeat followed by the victories of Hal
ma, and the track scorching work of
Basso and Curator.
The Kaleidoscope had shifted. and
from a one horse race the Kentucky
derby developed into what promises TO
be the best contest of that class of
events in years Halma will be the
favorite because of his two recent vic
tories at Lexington, but Laureate will
be close at his heels in the betting, fol-
lowed by Basso and Curator, in the order
named.
Potsdam and Gallon d. Or have few
followers, although the stable has high
opinion OF the former.
It is expected the derby will be wit
messed by the greatest crowd ever as
sembled on a Kentucky track. All the
railroads will run excursions, and train
loads have already been booked from
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago, Lex
ington and other points. There are
over 800 horses at the track. embracing
all the western cracks and the follower
of two and three-year olds. Entries for
Monday races will close at the track at
8 o'clock this afternoon.
