RIDING THE WHITE HORSE.

| boy OF seven years, delighting in an
array of birthday presents, was dared by
his sister to throw his gifts into the gar
den we'll. He did it before number of
admiring little girls and thought himself
great hero. His uncle who had been
celebrated general in the Civil War,
found him later in the day crying over
his loss. my dear. you must beware of
riding white horses was his reply to the
wondering child.
The little sister who had dared him
jumped up in row boat one day, crying
"Who is afraid?" She came to grief,
naturally, and inflicted ducking on her
Innocent friends, in the boat with her.
$50 it is YOU" her uncle said at the din
ner table, you who like to ride on white
horses!"
An older brother, just back from Eu-
rope, in relating his adventures in the
Alps, told Of young woman who climbed
with his party to the top of Mont Blanc.
On reaching the summit she asked the
guide to lift her on his back, in order
that she might be able to say that she
had climbed higher than any one else in
the world
"She rode up, SO to speak" commented
the General, whimsically, ION one of our
white horses"
what is it you mean, uncle?" asked
brown, and we never ride them. Tell us,
please"
So, as they gathered around him, he
told them how in battle the soldiers and
officers who rode white horses were at
once ranked in the minds of the others
as foolhardy and eager to court atten-
ton. The rider of white horse was as
Inviting mark to the enemy's sharp
shooters as the bull's-eye of target to
marksman. He seemed to say to the
enemy, Shoot me if you dare" He en-
dangered not only his own life. so yalua-
BILE to his country, but the lives of his
innocent comrades who were stationed
near him.
Riding the white horse is the common
trait of the age the. desire to be con-
spicuous. If only by a badge, bit of
ribbon. These riders are apt to dress in
scarlet when others wear black or brown;
to affect plaids when stripes are the rule;
to delight in the largest sleeves, the
widest skirts, the tiniest hats the shops
afford. The girl who saunters up and
down the principal thoroughfares Of the
city; the girl who INDUCES in loud con-
versation on the street, or in startling
expressions that SAVIOR of slang; the girl
who smokes cigarettes and tipples
little at SO called soda-fountain. rides
white horse that is sure, sooner or
later. to throw his helpless rider into the
mud or over the precipice of society

came larger and stronger, and yet SO
gradual was its growth, that the stock
hardly knew of it's existence. But one
morning, when the sun was taking his
first peep through the parted curtains Of
the east. she woke, and there among her
leaves rested lovely flower of deepest
crimson, bathed in dew-drops, which the
morning sunbeams were turning into a
cluster of gems. For some minutes the
tree Ia wild-rose stock no longer gazed
in wondering delight at her beautiful
offspring; then she turned toward her
friend, the white rose. and whispered
softly:

reward of all my trust.-Selected.

The officer looked at him sternly.

The boy tried to release his arm
from the crowd around him, when he
felt another crack in the frail egg,
caused by an involuntary contraction
of his hand. Just then thrilling
episode arrested all eyes.
A British officer, sitting on the pull
pit stairs under Warren, held up his
hands; in the fingers were three bull
let's.
Warren saw it. He read the men,

hand a white handkerchief. With
graceful and gracious movement of
his hand the orator dropped the
white handkerchief over the bullets

thus represented to the fancy men,
ace of war and prefer of peace, and
so it was interpreted by all eyes.
The officer looked at the boy again
and saw that he was crying.

continued the orator, "heaven is the
warriors shield; but conscious guilt
unnerves the arm that lifts the sword
against the innocent"
The eloquent appeal continued:
Having redeemed your country
and secured the blessing to future
generations, you cry, the glorious
work is done. Then drop the mantle
on some young Elisha and take your
seats with kindred spirits in your ma
tive Skies"
The boy worked his way through
the crowd and fed from the church,

Like sheep across the pasture, they
Across the heavens go.

Around the housetops sweep,
And dream 1t is the shepherd boys
They're driving home their sheep.
The clouds move faster now; and see!
The west is red with gold.
Each sheep seems Fastening to be
The first within the fold.
/ watch them hurry on until
The blue is clear and deep,
And dream that far beyond the hill
The shepherds fold their sheep.
Then in the sky the trembling stars.
Like little flowers shine out,
While Night puts up her shadow bars.
And darkness falls about.
/ hear the shepherd winds goodnight
"Good-ni. ght and happy sleep!"-
And dream that in the east all white,
Slumber the clouds, the sheep.

torials that are modelled on the lines
of the pronounced pro-silver utter

based the hopes of the convention
projectors. Failing Thompson, there
are any number of Ramsey coun-
ty Republicans, some in high posi-
tions, who will manage preliminary
details here.

by some men in Minnesota-and Re-
publicans, too-before it was pub
licly announced. The GLOBES
source of information is such, and
the facts in the case are so we'll
authenticated, that there is little
doubt this silver convention move
ment will shortly be heard of else
where.
Counter conventions, under the
guise of bimetallism, are being reck-
oned on by the silver men. They ex-
pect one to be held in Wisconsin
and another in New York, possibly
also in Iowa. These will be dis
counted, it is hoped, by the pro-
silver aggregations to be massed
in different states. But in any event
the white money men are reckoning
on making their movement so dis
tinctly non-partisan that the gold
bugs cannot overcome them. This
expectation is based on the idea that
very few Democrats would be found
with the gold men, especially in the
West.
Would it mean a new alignment
of old party men on the financial
issue?

Crank" is an epithet often ap-
piled to men in public position, espe-
cially in the legislature. 1t is mis-
applied more often than not. An
earnest, conscientious, forcefuI leg
islator is almost certain to be dubbed
crank openly on the floor, or quiet
ly among the members.
In the present legislature there
are several gentlemen who have
peen widely talked of, or whose
names have become identified in the
public mind with important meas
ures or particular work. Some of
these are willing to admit. if mt to
1t, that they are Crank on GER

When he enters the door of the
convention hall, each delegate will,
for the time being, cease to be

made his mark in several walks of

convention meets, and an eye single
to that end will be trained on all
who attempt to take part in the dis
cussions. 1t is realized by the prime

There will be free silver conven-
/ tion in Minnesota during the COM
ing summer or fall. It will most
likely be held in the latter part of
September or the early days of
October.
There is, of course, a possibility
that this proposed convention will
faff through, but from present indi-
cations, failure is a remote possibiI-
ity indeed. Promoters of the. idea
the men who will have the manage
ment of the meeting-are moving
quietly and cautiously.
Within a month or two, however,
they will have the plan sufficiently
matured to uncover it to the gen
eral public. At present the pro-
nounced free silver men in the con-
gressional districts are being con-
suited as to the feasibility and the
advisability of holding such a con-
yention. On their replies will largely
depend the outcome of the move
ment.
1t is planned on broad lines, as the
GLOBE learns, and will take in ev-
