I'm only a rock, Big black rock.
Standing alone by the. sea.
With no one near my story to hear.
I'm as lonesome as lonesome can be. I
I'm only rock, grim old rock,
Watching the waves on the shore,
The sharer for years in the joys and fears
OF maideps and youths by the score.
I'm only q rock, a barren old rock,
Sick Of such tales Of love,
And almost groan, though I'm only stone,
When they swear by the stars above.
I'm only rock, a bleak old rock,
But know. thing or two
Whether made at night or In broad daylight
Such pledges are seldom true.
I'm only rock, a strange old rock.
Dreading the summer once more,
When in their glory they'll tell the old story
have heard 80 often before.
I'm only, rock, . deserted old rock,
Half buried in snow and sand,
Sport Of the sea when the wind blows free,
My weary vigil stand.

Wants Half a Million From
Former President.
Action Is for Debt and Writ of
Attachment Was Served.
Mr.. Banigan's Real Estate and Bank
Funds Levied on by Deputy Gardiner.

The merry rubber war took still an
other turn after o'clock this afternoon
when Deputy Sheriff Samuel e. Gardner
attached all the real estate of Joseph
Banigan in this city and also all the
money deposited by him in several city
banks.
The attachment was for $500, 900, and
Is the commencement OF legal proceed
ings by the woonsocket Rubber Company
against its iofmer president. The Woon-
socket Company has been for some time
identified with the United States Rubber
Company, and 1t is chiefly through his
commanding position in the company
that Mr.. Banigan became the president
of the rubber trust or com bine. But MIR.
Bsnigan retired from the management
of the trust some time ago and later on
he left the woonsocket company and it
passed completely into the hands OF his
successors in the management Of the big
rubber trust. ~
The action is brought simply for debt
and there is no other statement in the
writ, all of the specifications of a more
definite nature will De made at the
declaration TO be filed in court at later
date.
There has been a good deal OF trouble
between the woonsocket Company and
the trust, previous to Mr.. Banigan's
withdrawal from the latter concern, and
there is said to be quite q sum owing
the company from the trust, and a COM
mittee was appointed at the meeting at
which Mr.. Banigan retired from the
woons ocket Company to adjust this
matter. The present suit, 1t 10 generally
understood, relates to other matters,
however.
The at which the attachment was
made makes it apparent that the woon-
socket Rubber Company was ready to
play the old game Of tit for tat. There
has been trouble brewing for long time
In rubber circles, and 1t is such that the
end is not yet in sight.
