4 HOLIDAY SONG.

y little ay from Work-a-day,
Down the small slope of mild desire,
There swings a gate to bar the way,
With roses and sweet brier,
While you and 1, when time is ripe,
Upon its fragrant threshold stand
And look across the harvest fields
In fruitful Leisure-fand.
In LeiSure-lanG the breath, like balm
Signs from the moist lips easily,
The eyes shine clear, the brow is calm,
The heart beats full and free.
There is no sound of fret nor strife
OF urging call nor harsh command,
One drinks fresh, sweet draught OF
Life.
In blessed Leisure-landi
The birds sing soft, the cushats COO,
The breeze just whispers to the flowers,
Deep-lined with autumn, as they fade,
To mark the peaceful hours.
The dancing brooklets wider sweep.
All voiceless where the blue flags stand,
Rocking the drowsy bees to sleep,
In restful LeiSure-land.
Then come. while harvest moon is full.
Sweetheart, adOwn the sloping way
And whisper secrets to my soul,
Too dear for common day,
A little space, for thee and me-
Which. heart to heart, and hand in
hand.
Anart from weary Work-a-day,
Wen spend in Leisure-landi

GROUND BY ICEBERGS.
Fate of a Bark Bound From Gree
lind to PhilndeI1hfa.

Fate of a Bark Bound From Green
land to Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Ledger: The bark Sc
rene, Captain Anderson, arrived on
Saturday from Ivigtut, Greenland, hav-
ing on board Mate Johnson, Second
Mate McCloud and four seamen of an
other kryolite trader, the Argenta,
which was wrecked by the ice on Aug.
10 while coming to Philadelphia from
Ivigtut Captain Smith and the rest
of the crew of the Argenta are on
board the Silicon, Captain Houghton,
also kryolite trader, which passed in
at the Delaware breakwater yesterday
afternoon on her way to this port.
The Argenta sailed from Ivigtut last
August and, after leaving NaSaIki, q
Danish settlement on the west coast
of Greenland, was caught between two
large icebergs. The rudder was twist
ed off and the vessel began to leak so
heavily that she soon became water
logged, despite the efforts of the crew
to keep her free. Abandoning the yes
sci in a sinking condition, the crew,
after several days of exposure in the
vessels small boats, reached Avegait,
from which place they went to NasaIki,
where they found the Serene and Sill
con. both of which had been forced to
put in there for harbOr. The crew was
divided, one-half going on the Serene
and the other half on the Silicon.
The Salina and Calcium are thought
to have arrived at Ivigtut, and thus
all the kryolite vessels, after many
months, have been heard from. The
ice on the Greenland coast has been
heavier this season than was ever
known.
The Argenta was owned by Mckay
& Dux of Boston, but carried the Brit
ish flag. having been built in 1890 at
Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. She was 156
feet in length, SO feet in breadth of
beam and 1873 feet in depth of hold.

seed fell straight TO the ground, and
the young plants all grew up together
around the parent one, they would
starve each other out For plants art
like people, and when crowded too
closely together fail to fighting among,
themselves. Their struggles are very
bitter ones, though we do not see or
hear them. The plants that are
strongest in these silent battles end by
getting the light and air and water and
food they need from the soil. while the
poor weaklings are left to stazve and
die. To prevent too much of this
was'tefu1 crOwding and struggling, old
Dame Nature has invented many
clever little scheme
When trees or smaller plants grow on
river banks. their fruits often fall into
the water and are carried down stream
by the current, sometimes finding land
ing places on the banks, and so grow
ing uD into new plants. Who has not
seen sycamore balls and buckeyes trav-
cling along in this easy fashion, These
are the fruits Of the trees they grow
on. Fruit is the part of the plant that
inclOSes the seed, with the seed itself.
So the dry pods that hold the black
morning glory seeds are as truly fruits
as are apples or Strawberries, though
we commonly use the word only for
those that are good to eat.
1t often happens that on small islands
in rivers, trees and flowers are found
that do not grow on the neigbOring
banks. These have come down the
river. sometimes from the mountains
where 1T rises, in the shape of fruits,
and have found lodging on the island
during high water. Sometimes FRUITS
are thus borne quite out to sea, and
then they may be caught up by ocean
currents and carried long distances.
1t has been said that Columbus first
formed che notion that there might
be land beyond the western ocean on
seeing some strange nuts that had been
washed to the shores Of the Azores
from PARKWAY America

clean as soon as the result is known.
Men who had been ready to bristle up
every time they met, shake hands and
laugh over the result; nor do the victors
manifest any great disposition to prod
the varquished.
And this universal disposition to take
results in good part personally, is a
strong factor in maintaining the integ
rity of the rule under which the country
yields cheerfully and at once to the re-
suits of elections. If in communities,
men were divided up into warning fac
tons, the nation would soon be endan-
gered.

Mason last night, as he spoke of the two

both of the getlemen were one-armed,

that General Hooker lost his right arm
and General Lilly his left, and this fact
operated to their mutual advantage in
q peculiar way. The two happened to be
in Richmond together and dropped into a
store TO purchase a pair of gloves. Gen
eral Hooker turned over the lot, picked
out what he wanted and turning to Cen

you buying any gloves. You need

TOBACCO KILLS CHOLERA

New York Press: Defenders Of tobacco
smoking fail to make use of the most
powerful argument in its favor. Hith-
erto the most that has been o-aimed IN
favor Of smoking was a certain subtle.
beneficial effect on the digestion and a
soothing effect on the nerves.
Il has been learned recently. from the
reports of Investigations Of the effects
or tobacco during the endemic of cho'e~3
at Hamburg, that cholera microbes could
not exist IN the mouths OF smokers.
There were no living bacteria after ,,
hours in cigars made up with water con
tanning 100000 cholrea germs to the cubic
inch. There were no traces of microbes
to be found in any of the cigars manu-
fuctured at Hamburg in the time of the
epidemic. The microbes die in half 70
two hours exposure 10 smoke of Brazil
SuTuatra or Havana tobacco. The smoke
of any cigar kills the microbes. Expert
ments show that in five minutes after be-
ginning to smoke the microbes in the
mouth are killed Another fact estab-
lished IS that none of the persons en-
ployed N the tobacco factories at Ham
burg contracted cholera.

1t is not an intention to rub the sores
OF our morning contemporary over the
Republican defeat in the state, but its
efforts to minimize the extent and i'm
portance of that defeat recalls a story
Of two little boys, brothers. One was
naughty and behaving very badly. and
was admonished to do better, which
admonition he did not heed. He was
chastised and sent up stairs, and he
went up a-howling. When he came
down at dinner time his little brother
said: Jimmy got whipping" But
Jimmy replied: yes, but it didn't
hurt" It did, all the same.

A SCHOOL, GIRL.

AS along the street she goes,
Underneath her chin a rose
Mods its head.
Though It's very sweet and rare.
On her cheek blooms one more fair
Deeper red.
Most demure to look she tries,
But her merry. laughing eyes
Seem TO say.
We've SO long bent DER a book
At the boys We'll have one look,
Come what may.
On her head a saucy hat,
With a fetching veil; all that
Makes me sigh,
Oft meet her. just be chance.
And at me she gives a glance,
Then is by.
Last I saw her with another:
Twas her little freshman brother
OFF to Yale.
How I wished she were my sister.
If. like him. l could have kissed her
Through her veil,
Agnes Ross Gibbs.

On the second day after election the
pork butchers in Chicago were notified
Of a reduction of 25 cents a day in
wages. They promptly went out on
a strike, and the men who are en-
ployed in the beef slaughtering estab-

influence of the election of the "ad-
vance agent of prosperity" seems to
have missed that business; and we
greatly fear it win prove ineffective in
a great many others.

when the Republican party builds
itself up again in Utah, which it can
do rapidly with a Republican admin

make the mistake of again placing its

The Tribune of yesterday morning
said:
A newspaper that fakes or lags isn't
much of a newspaper; but when il
both fakes and lags it is detestable.
A morning contemporary got out a
first edition on Wednesday morning
with no local figures at all for this
city or county, and practically none
for the state; its second edition carried
what it could get up from the Trib-
une's first edition. That night, when
everybody who had paid attention TO
the news, knew there was nc earthly
hope of Bryans election, it set the town
agog with a mess of rubbish that he
wasn't beaten. and Thursday morning
kept up the deception By making prom
inent a lot of unfounded claims that
were apparently put out for no other
purpose than to permit sports to hedge
on their bets.
That is merely the disgruntled growl
of a disappointed paper. The Herald
neither fakes nor lags. When it is
said that this paper in it's second edi-
ton of Wednesday morning took its fig
ures from the Tribune, the Tribune
maliciously states that which is false.
So far as the bulletins put out by The
Herald are concerned, they were just
what came over the wire. If the esti-
mates and claims of those in charge
of Mr.. Bryan's campaign were errone-
Gus, as they proved to be, that was not
The Heralds fault; it gave them as it
got them. The Herald itself made no
claims that Mr.. Bryan was elected.
The Tribune having attempted the
impossible feat of standing on two
stools during the el1.ion, has fallen
awfully hard between them. The jar
has upset it and jolted its gall into it's
mouth and it is now engaged in splitting
