OF MY LADYs FIppLEsTRlNes.

Four little slaves my lady has,
All obedient to her will.
With potent wand she rules them,
To her highest bidding schools them.
Whom she takes in hand her bow,
Straight thoy sing or loud or low,
Willing choristers until
Sho commands them to be still. :
When my lady's heart beats happy, =
All her little slaves rejoice. =
Sing thoy then with exultation,
AS in joyful emulation
or tho lark that from on high
Fills the earth with melody.
'Twixt their music and lark's voice
Hard for mortnls to make choice.
Whom she signs in melancholy.
Plnintivo then and sad their strain.
Wailing as for lost salvation,
As for sins past expiration,
Moaning like some wounded thing.
Sobbing, signing, Whispering,
Shricking now in bitter pain,
Sinking now to sobs again.
Thus their music changes ever
With tho changing OF her mood -
Now in minor chords Of sadness,
Now in Joyous poem Of gladness-
Would sho but, as them, rule me
Great my happiness would be,
Daily, hourly renewed,
Bound in such sweet servitude.

William L. Douglas, the president Of the
world famed w. L. Douglas Shoe Co., has
always had great personal interest IN the
army of men and women WHO 1nhabit the
great factory at NJ onteIlo during the work
Ing hours Of the day, and who make the
greatly advertised So Shoe.
He Is a great believer In the idea that
manufacturers should have this personal
interest in the condition of their employees,
aud feels that ii tho idea is carried out 70
the extent that IS possible, that 1t will result
ultimately in the breaking down Of the bar
ricrs which have been built up between en-
ployers and those whom they employ. He
believes that the breaking down OF these Il-
visible but strong barriers would be great
thing for everybody conce rned, as 1t would
convince the workin gmen that their en-
blowers wero not their enc miles, as some OF
them seem to think now, but their friends,
with desire to do all for them that was IN
their power. :.
Having strong feelings upon this point, it
is only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give

self with the result OF the trials OF sucfi
plans in other places. He 10 satisned that

jefferson very suddenly put an end to
all ceremony and all recognition of for
eign rules of precedence, especially
those based on titles of nobility. His
political principles were democratic,
and he wanted it understood that his
manners were also democratic. He re-
ceived Mr.. Merry, the British minister,
in slippers without heels. OF this Mr..
Merry complained in an official letter
to his chief. He also complained that
when jefferson invited him to dinner,
the president did not take in Mrs.
Merry, but Mrs. Madison, the wife Of
the secretary of state, who did the
honors of the white house. The presi-
dent also violated rule of interna-
tional courtesy on this occasion, by in
viting to dinner NJ. Pichon, the charge
of France, with which country Mr..
Merry's was then at war. There was a
very small diplomatic corps at Wash
ington at that time. Besides Mr.. Mer-
nv and NJ. Pichon, there was the Mar
quis de Yrujo-the Spanish minister
and Danish charge d'affairs. Mr..
Madison followed the presidents ex-
ample, and SO deeply offended all the
foreigners that the women formed a
conspiracy to resent what they regard
cd as the insults put upon them by the
government. Two of the women, Ma
dame Pichon and the Warehouses de
Yrujo, were Americans; and notwith-
standing the social war in which she
engaged, Madame de Yrujo was always
on terms of warm affection with Mrs.
Madison. There had been a girlhood
friendship between them when one was

stopped and built their fires he made
haste to broil 1t, eating 1t voraciously.
When his companions wondered at his
eating pony meat, he told them that
his hunger had overcome his scruples,
thinking the while to himself how
they were fooled.
The next day he began begging
again to the captain for another piece,
and again the captain insisted that he
could not let him have any without en-.

to forget that he owed him one hum

All this time their suffering from
cold and fatigue and the harassing by
the Indians had continued, but they
had managed to kill good many OF
the ponies. and they were now not more
than ten miles from their camp. Col.
Williamson accordingly decided that
the time had come for decisive action.
Sending two riders to gallop ahead to
the camp to announce that the troops
would arrive that evening. and to
see that big campfres were built
and abundant rations were cooked,
the colonel ordered the men to ride In
among the ponies with their revolvers
and shoot them as rapidly rs possible.
This was speedily accomplished. and

had never enjoyed them before, Lieut..
Williamson told how Capt Parker
had saved his life by sharing his an
