Unanswered.

Why is it the tenderest feet must tread the
toughest road?
Why is it the weakest back must carry the
heaviest load,
While the feet that are surest and frmest
have the smoothest paths to go,
And the back that is straightest and strong
est has never burden to know?
Why is il the brightest eyes are the ones
soon dim with tears?
Why is it the lightest heart must ache and
ache for years,
While the eyes that are hardest and coolest
shed never bitter tear,
AND the heart that is smallest and meanest
has never an ache to fear?
Why is it that those who are saddest have
always the gayest laugh?
Why is it those who need not have always
the "biggest half,
While those who have never a sorrow have
seldom smile to give,
And those who want just little must strive
and struggle to live?
Why is it the noblest thoughts are the ones
that are never expressed?
Why is it the grandest deeds are the ones
that are never confessed,
While the thoughts that are like all others
are the ones we always tell,
And the deeds worth little praise are the
ones that are published we'll?
Why is it the sweetest smile has for its Sis
ter-a sigh?
Why is it the strongest love is the love we
always pass by,
While the smile that is cold and indifferent
is the smile for which we pray,
And the love we kneel to and worship is
only common clay?
Why is it the friends we trust are the ones
who always betray?
Why is it the lips we wish to kiss are the
lips 50 far away,
While close by our side if we knew it, is a
friend who loyal would be,
And the lips we might have kissed are the
lips we never see?
Why is it the things we can have are the
things We always refuse?
Why is it none of us live the lives, il we
could, we'd choose?
The things that we all can have are the
things We always hate,
And life seems never complete, no matter
how long we wait.

Standard Oil Going Into Ice.

New YORK, Sept. 80, 1896 The Con-
solidated Ice Company, better known as
the ice trust of New York city, having
overcome all opposition up to date, is now
to have an opponent worthy of its STEEL
1t made mince meat of the butchers last
summer. What will it do with the
Standard Oil Company?
According to report, current here, the
Standard Oil is going into ice. 1t is said
that the great organization will do with
ice very much as 25 years ago it did with
coal. This means that it will enter the
field to undersell, and will undersell, all
competitors. The price next summer, it
is said, will be less than 50 thousand at
the start. The ice consuming public will
gain handsomely by the conflict. After it
shall be won by the Standard oil-but
that is another story.
The Standard will, it is said, deal ex-
clusively in artificial ice. Plants are to
be erected in this city and Brooklyn dur
ing the winter, and are to be ready for
business in the spring.

Maryland for Mckinley.

James Creelman, tie staff correspond
ent Of the New \ 0rk " orld writes to tina t
paper as follows from Maryland:
Here in the heart OF Maryland the corpse
of Organism av ats a burial.
There can be little doubt that the old
State has joined the Republican column,
perhaps to stay there for many years. The
sceptre of power las passed from the I'M
steady hands OF Senator Golman. There
is one greater than lie and his name is
Wellington. The new Republican Sena-
tor has followed up the great victory of
last year by organizing the Maryland Re
publicans as they never have been organ
lied before. Not less than 70, 900 Dem
ocrats have Joined him in the war against
free silver.
The Democratic organization is in
ruins. Its leaders are without money and
largely without influence. Most of them
are half hearted and are merely going
through the motions of supporting Bryan
for the sake OF keeping control of the ma
chine in the future, without the slightest
idea of success this year. No thoughtful
man can 90 through Maryland without
discovering the fact that the Democrats
are completely demoralized. The party
is wreck. Conservative men place Nc
kinley's majority at Is, 900 or 20, 900. The
movement this year is ava
laDche-like. The detection of business
men from Bryan in Baltimore is so great
that the Republicans are actually able to
send financial assistance to other States,
Senator Germans political career is vir-
tually ended

Tired of Bryan.

1t is now said that Bryan has practically
given up hope of his election this fall but
is making tour of the country with an
eye upon 1900. Whatever his expectations
may be in connection with the election in
November, if, as now seems very general
ly conceded, he is showed under, he will
promptly and permanently disappear from
the public view. 1t is safe to say if the
Chicago convention was to be held over
again the mistake of Bryan's nomination
would be avoided. He has proved rank
disappointment. He does not possess the
ability OF the traits of character essential
to popular candidacy. One experience
with Organism is all that any party can
stand, even the Popocratic party. He
should make the most of his dead head
facilities for travelling prior to the coming
verdict of the people, as he will never
have another opportunity. Bangor Wing.
