Az the shadows of night came on
TO brood in the trees thick branches,

Z Then reused and roarcd in answer
And unsheathed my cushioned feet,

And wandered my mate to greet.
We toyed in tho amber moonlight
Upon the warm, fit sand
And struck ut each other our massive arms.
How powerful he was and grand!
His yellow eyes flashed ferccly
AS he crouched and gazed at :ne,
And his quivering tail, like a serpent,
Twitched, curving ncrvousiy.
Then like storll he seized me
With wild triumphant cry,
And we met AS two clouds in heaven
When the thunders before them fly.
We grapplcel and struggled together,
For his love. like his rage, WAS rude,
And his teeth in the swelling folds If my neck

To breathe him u vast half hour.
Then down to the fountain we loitered
Where the antelopes came to drink:
Like II bolt we sprang upon them
Ere they had time to shrink.
H'e drank their blood and crushed them
And tore them limb from limb,
And the ht!nsrics;t lion doubted
Ere he disputed with him.
That was q life to live fori
Not this weak human life
With it's frivolous bloodless passions,
Its poor and petty strife!
Come to my arms, my hero!
The shadows Of twilight grow,
And the tigers ancient fierceness
In my veins begins to flow.
Come not crinying to sue me!
Take me with triumph and power,
As a warrior storms fortress!
will not shrink or cowcr.
Come as you came III the desert
Ere we were women and men,
When the tiger passions were in US,
And love as you loved me thenl

it, and the next day a man paid his sub

The readers ofthis paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh.
HALLS Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi

rIeeting of the Farmers Club.

The December meeting of Cecil
Farmers Club was held at the
home of Mr.. Alfred Kirk, near
Pennington, on Wednesday. There
was good attendance of members
and several invited guests.
The host read a short but pithy
essay which suggested matter for
considerable discussion and COM
ment by the members.
Col. Noyes had propounded sew
eral questions to the Club at for
mer meeting which the club had
some hesitancy about tackling and
referred them back to Mr.. Noyes
for answer. He in accordance had
prepared a paper of considerable
length embodying his view of the
subjects in question, which also
drew the fire of the members and
drew out a lively discussion. The
drift of thought is particularly
noticeable in the public as under
going a great change, and it has
overtaken the easy going and in
tensely conservative farmer, pick
ing him up, as it were, like a great
wave and carrying him away from
his old mornings. He kicks and
squirms and protests against such
unseemly disturbance to his slum-
bers, but he is ruthlessly shaken
up and compelled to join the rest
less throng. The farmer is nc
longer allowed to dwell in peace in
his arcadia, surrounded by his pigs,
cattle and crops but the rude re-
former is calling him to prepare for
a new dispensation, like John the
Baptist, who came crying from the
wilderness and warning a careless,
needless people they must prepare
for new era in the affairs of men,
telling them that their old super
stitions had played out.n
The farmer is slowly lifting his
eyes from the ground on which
they have so long been fixed, and
inquirlng what he shall do to be
saved, and questions of political
economy are now claiming a por,
ton of his thoughts, that are not all
to be given in future to pastrol
musings and confined to a little
world no larger than his farm yard
as in the olden time.
MI. Kirk was complimented by
the club for the order and thrift
which were visible on every hand
showing the proprietor was up tc
date in all of his farming economy
while the dinner, which was sc
enjoyed and which drew out the
fraternal spirit of the company as
all the discussion in the council
chamber could not, proved that
those who preside over the depat
ment of domestic economy in Mr.
Kinks household are not students
but graduates in the culinary art
The Club adjourned to meet the
third Wednesday in January at

Reform Union.

There is much being said about union
Of the reform elements into one grand
army for the Presidential campaign Of
1896. Let us examine and ascertain what
the several divisions want. The one pr-
mary object on which they all agree is
the abolition of monopoly. The Prohi-
bition division desires most the destruc-
ton of the liquor monopoly, and with
the destruction of this head the total abo-
liton of the traffic.
The Single Takers are striving for the
abolition of the monopoly of land. They
seem to believe this accomplished all
other monopolies would succumb without
further effort.
The Social Labor Party organization is
so far in advance of all these in its ambi-
ton that its hopes have nothing to tie to
while the tangible monopolies remain
1t stands entirely outside the pale of prsc-
ticability, representing a grand inquest
for indicting Capital. There are num-
Der of fragmentary issues whose advocates
know distinct party could not be found
ed OIL who want some strong party to give
those issues an expression of favor in its
platform.
The leading or dominant issue in the
Peoples party is the overthrow of the
money monopoly, or Currency Trust,
which is by all odds the most gigantic
and overshadowing of all monopolies
The party i'll addition to this specifically
names in its declaration of purpose, the
railroad, telegraph and land monopolies.
There is nothing more self evident than
these three grand monopolies mnst be
overthrown before it is possible to touch
any of the others, or even procure par
tiak reform of any of the numerous abuses
growing out of them. The grand monop-
oily of these, as we have stated, is the
monopoly of the money. Against this
the Peoples party is directing its first and
supreme effort.
1t ought to be plain to all who are in
the battle against the abuses which are
smothering out free institutions, that
none of the reforms can be reached while
these giants block the way. The money
power stands behind all and sustain:
them all, reinforcing the weakest point:
in the line and using them all to consol
ilate the Empire of Mammon.
All know, or ought to know, if capable
oflearning anything, that not one of theil
hopes is possible of fulflment through
either of the old Plutocrat parties. Why
do they continue to defeat their avowec
wishes by supporting those old parties
which are used to block the approach tc
every reform? Do they not also see thai
the Populist party is besieging the only
door by which entrance is possible to any
one of the reforms that are being sought
None of these reform divisions see any
other party, nor hope or expect to see
any other party which promises aid to
them than the Peoples party If they are
really in earnest and wise they must go to
the Peoples party as the only possible
ad along which they can discover a ray
hope.

How can times be good when
farmers have no money? How Can
farmers have money when the pro
duce of their farms is lower in price
than ever before in their recollec-
ton? These are questions every
sensible man asks and knows that
a reign of hard times is here to stay
till an entire change in financial
conditions is brought about and
more money is added to the soanty
volume now in existence. Bank
credit and bank loans won't do.

graceful a thing after reading

and Comptroller Eckels at the
recent bankers banquets. If these

The New York People, the tutelary
daily of an aerial party which sports the
euphonious name of Social Labor Party,
is in warm water. The Boston wing pro-
poses to drop an anchor on the earth and
hold on to the mundane sphere, with the
practical view of effecting something
substantial, but the People denounces all
such material things as "capitalistic, "
and warns its stiff necked comrades that
there is no safe place for the Social Labor
Party but up in its balloon. All that is
i'll all other parties is of earth earthly, and
necessarily capitalistic. This Social
Labor Party of the Peoples is, judged by
its ideal, the greatest FOOLS paradise ever
discovered.

There is no country in the western
hemisphere that needs a strict en-
forcement of the Monroe Doctrine
so much as the United States within
their own borders. The nations of
Europe, especially England, are
imposing their influence upon, and
meddling in the domestic affairs of
the United States more than in
those of any other country of the
western world. The United States
is the place to begin to rigidiy en-
force the nf,ccnrOe Doctrine. The
British goldbug system is the great
est interference in our affairs that
has ever taken place since King
Georges red coats sailed away.

Speaking of cinches," said the

pushed them into the closet and
then crowded in herself and pulled
