DAY DREAMS.

Thro' realms of fairest fancy,
Meath Hopes eternal ray,
To the golden sand of day dreamland
From this world / Outlines stray;
And the longines rife of this tossing life
My being cease to sway.
For move where the skies are clearer
And love is the ruling ster;
While sweet Content to my heart is sent,
And the gates of Peace unbar,
As on sparkling seas to that land of ease
l drift in my dreams afar.
o dreams of my idle moments
o dreams of my idle hoursi
In the garcen life, mid toll and strife,
You gladden. my heart like the fragrant
flowers;
And your promise bright is a beacon light
When the storm of Fate dark lowers.

for the street railway company at
particularly critical time; the company's
business was seriously embarrassed. and
the general business condition was such
as to make it exceedingly difficult to
conduct the railway system on anything
like paying basis. Mr.. Slaughter has
had some experience in tackling tough
jobs-he has been chief clerk Of the
house Of representatives he assum-
ed the position Of receiver with deter
mination to do the best he could. He
has had the same success that has
always attended his efforts. 1t used to
be a pleasure to find farlt with the
street car service. 1t is now equally
gratifying to commend it. The public
and the newspapers have given Mr..
Slaughter's management unstinted
praise; and it has been deserved. In
the hands OF the receiver the company
is making the best showing it has yet
made; the business is being done more
economically and effectively than ever
before, and many welcome improve
ments have been made. 1t would be
good thing for the company and its
creditors. and good thing for the
public il Mr.. Slaughter could be con-
tinued in charge indefinitely.
