man who rolled a canvas housetop
across the stage in the tornado scene
and those who leaned over a stick,
waved piece Of blue cloth and yelled
"Yee, Yee," at the threadbare canvas
waves below, had to work. There
was so much mechanical effect that
the show lasted until II O'Clock. 1t

Little Boy Blue.

The little toy dog Is covered with dust
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put them there,
Now, don't you go till come" he said,
"And don't you make any noise!''
So, toddling of to his trundle-bed,
He dreamt Of the pretty toys
And, as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
OH the years are many, the years are long
But the little toy friends are true!
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand
Each In the same old place
Awaiting the touch Of little hand,
The smile Of little face;
And they wonder, as waiting the long years
through
In the dust Of that little chair,
What has become Of our Little Boy Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them there,

The Great Man.

The great man was so great that he
held thirty million two-legged animals
in his left hand and thirty-five million
in his right, in perfect balance. At the
same time great eagle appeared at
Washington. When the eagle spread
out his wings they touched Boston and
San Francisco at the same time. The
great man took the great bird on his
hands and named the great eagle Con
gTess." He decided to break the eagle
to be a gentle servant for his private
service. In his boundless wisdom he
decided not to use physical force but
to starve nearly to death, and it was a
success. The great man then said,
MY little country is not fit for a great
man; guess l will take trip to Jupiter
and give that little globe an object les
son, and my eagle will fetch me there"
He then cut large piece of meat out of
farmers heap, put the meat on the
point of his sword, seated himself on
the eagles neck, holding the sword in
his right hand, with the meat twelve
inches ahead of the birds head, and a
black-snake in his left hand, whipping
the bird all the time in order to make
his meat tender. The eagle, flying for
the meat, shot through the air like a
cannon ball. AS the air was full of
road dust from below and meteor dust
from above, the great mans eyes be-
came of no account. For the sake of
producing light he put gold piece in
his mouth, but still the Egyptian dark
ness prevailed; he then swore by his
greatness that gold was of no account
at Jupiter. Presently the eagle col
lided with great wall, and the great
man touched solid ground, but dark
ness still prevailed. Where am I at !?
Perhaps in hades! I desire a better
place. have changed my friends and
my party, and took my nation by the
throat and choked the life out of her:
but If am in hades it is step in the
right direction. / will meet the rich
man here" Presently the rich man
appeared, plated with gold and powder
ed with diamonds. Seeing a little ami
NAL crawling on the ground with yell
low speck in its mouth, he picked it
up with his right hand and put it in
the palm of his left, looked at it but
could not tell what it was; he nut ii
under a powerful microscope and pro-
nounced it to be genuine American
gold bug. Well. the rich man charged
ten million dollars for entertainment
and return ticket. The farmers paid
the bill-J. Fatland, Newark, Ill,

this left no room for the bimetallic
party.
Our national committee by a majority
vote of those present, decided, last
week, at its meeting in st. Louis, to ask
those desiring financial reform but who
are not ready as yet to join the peoples
party, to hold national convention at
same time and place as the populist
convention with the view of getting to-
gether.
Months ago this paper suggested that
, the silver men of the old parties form
party, if they could not come to us, ap-
point their county, state and national
committees and call a convention at
same time and place as the populist
convention, and expressed the belief
| that the two bodies would agree. 1t
would seem that we had no room for
complaint at the committees action.
But the silver men have not withdrawn
| from the old parties. They have not
formed state organizations. 1t is pos
sible that the bimetallic convention
will have no constituency. That the
| delegates will not be appointed by the
people. That the bimetallic convention
will represent a very few people. That
| it will simply serve to give the one
| plank men strength much larger than
the one plank sentiment, in case the
two bodies go together, and that with
| part of the populist convention and all
of the bimetallic, they will be able to
dictate platform and candidates.
On the other hand, there may be a
bolt from the, republican convention
and there is pretty sure to be one from
the democratic convention, and it may
turn out that the bimetallic convention
will represent millions of voters. We
hope so. But let populists bear in mind
that Eternal vigilance is the price of
| liberty'
