sit beside my flying loem
l toss the shuttle to and fro;
The sunlight floods the quiet room,
Making the pattern CLEAN and glow.
without, autumnal glories shine;
Through warp and wool rich shadows play;-
Would God II were more fair and fine,
This web that groweth day by dayi
weave and weave till day is done;-
But who will bleach the linen white,
BY alchemy of rain and sun,
Hot summer Moons, and dewy night2
And who its shining length will wear2
Under Its folds what heart will hide

Of wordless bliss, or love denied7

Slowly It rises. fair and tall
With prophecy of royal state
1t towers above the old gray WALL
But who will see 1t in Its primer
What lovers seek its leafy ways2
What bard unborn, with song and rhyme,
Wed its green boughs to ieathess lays?
build mansion wide and fair;
1 rear its towers of fretted stone;
But who sha all breathe its happy air?
Who call its shelterirg roof his OWN
What guests shall throng its chambers flne7
What feet youths joyous measures tread
When have drained life's last red wine,
And grass grows green above my head9
On the soft air lose song;
From pole to pole 1t drifteth far
1t fioateth fast, It hoateth long,
Inconsequent as breezes are!
But who will hear 1t as 1t flies
Through shadowy spaces, vast and dim,
And lure 1t from the lonely skies,
When have done with song and hymn

of the many testimonials we have
received is one from DR.. Arthur

as vehicle for it's administration"

THE CUBAN CAUSE.
The Texas Rangers Ready to Fight for
 the Insurgents.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 17.-United States Marshal George Shelby de- clared officially today that all persons within his jurisdiction who were en- gagged in aiding Cuban insurgents con- trary to the treaty laws of the United States would be arrested wherever found.
 D. s. Hartman, who is leading the movement here, said after becoming acquainted with Marshal Shelby's or der that nothing would be done con trary to the laws of the country. One hundred and fifty Texas Rangers commanded by Temple Houston, who had notified MT. Hartman of their willingness to fight Spain, are said to be in readiness to go to Cuba at a moments notice.

SHARKEY'S MONEY.
Judge Sanderson of the Superior Court
 Dissolves the Injunction.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The fight between Sharkey and Fitzsim- mons for the possession of the $10O0O purse was concluded today, when Judge Sanderson of the superior court dissolved the injunction restraining the Anglo-Californian bank from cash ing the check. The counsel for Shar- key called the attention of the court to the state law forbidding prize-fght- ing, between which and "a glove con test" he maintained there was no diff ference, and he therefore argued that the case involving the possession of the purse for prize-fghting had no stand ing in court.
 The judge concurred in this view and said he would have terminated the pro ceedings earlier had that point been called to his judicial attention.

BRIGHAM YOUNG SPEAKS.

When Utah was reached there were urgent calls for Bishop Brigham Young. A genial-faced man, erect of build and of vigorous physique, with whitened hair swept back from a fair, broad forehead, and beard verging into the snow tint, was escorted to the platform. He wore Prince Albert coat buttoned up closely and used few gestures, though he spoke eloquently as he warmed to the subject.
 Mr. Young said he began his career in the irrigation cause in 1S4S, when only eleven years old, when the small boy irrigated with. a hoe, without hat and without unmentionables. The experience of Utah extends from this crude beginning to the science it is today. It was a struggle for bread, for life, with her people in the begin ming. They had to struggle against the elements, grasshoppers and crick- cts. They have probably endured

more than any other class of people in settling the arid lands. MT. Young drew pathetic picture of the earlier days in Utah. He could remember, he said, looking into the pinched, hungry faces of children and reading starva- tion there. The great problem of the irrigation question to his mind was not water so much as the knowledge of how to husband what we have. A great amount of water is wasted. A novel system of storing the precious fluid has been adopted in Utah. Snow fences are erected on ridges to catch the drifts that will be waited from the mountains. The SHOWS become pre- served and hardened into icebergs, which melt slowly and add convenient ly to the streams. High waters and floods are obviated by locking up the snows in this manner.
 We are with you heart and hand to develop our great country. These congresses will be great factors in in ducing the honest poor to seek homes in the great west, 100000 of whom have immigrated since 1840.
 After several other states had been heard from the convention proceeded to the election of officers of the nation al executive committeee. Prelimi- nary to that, however, George H. Max well of San Francisco in a rousing speech outlined policy which he sug- gested that the congress should fol- low He advocated the enlargement of the executive committee by adding to it subcommittee from each state and territory. The general national committee should assemble before the annual meetings of the congress to transact purely informal business and it should be prepared to present it's report at the time of converting. Out of the general committee should be selected subcommittee such as a press committee, funds committee and legislative committeee The funds committee should plead the cause of the country homes of our nation, and appeals for financial aid should be made to moneyed people by substan- tial and influential men. The legis- lative committee should be composed of men of untiring energy and zeal who ought to at least soon succeed ir securing the passage of the irrigation commission proposition.

It was an ideal day for photograph CTS, just the kind Of day when homely man feels comparatively safe in facing the machine, and one in which the manipulator of the complexion deceiv- CT feels that he is not running great chances, so yesterday morning before convening at the opera house the dele gates to the irrigation congress gath cred in a great group on Adams street near the Republican office and were photographed by Hartwell. Then they distributed themselves about the thor oughfares and gradually assembled at convention hall.
 Come to order" said Chairman Booth, as he rattled his gavel on the table. The delegates settled back comfortably in their opera chairs and prepared for business. A prelimi- nary incident was the introduction to the convention of Randolph Thurston of the Southern Pacific Railroad con- pany MT. Thurston bowed graceful ly to the audience and retired. MT. Wright of California arose to extend a general invitation to the delegates and the public to attend the reception at the Hotel Adams in the evening.
 The suggestion of Mr. Wohlfenbar- ger that full courtesies of the congress except vote on officers and the selec- tion of the next place for holding the convention be extended to new members, was adopted.
 Upon the resumption of the call of states, a delegate from Okla homa told of the progress of the movement in that young terri tory. Cotton is a great industry there, he said, s1,000,00O worth having been exported last year. More water on the cotton acreage would greatly in crease the product. The agricultural college expects soon to start an irri- gation plant MT. Shuart of Ohio re- ported that few experiments are be- ing made in irrigation in that state Capt.

LINCOLN NEXT TIME.

The contest for the selection of the city for holding the sixth national ir- rigation congress was tame one. Fl Paso had been quite generally pro posed, but Texas was as quiet yester- day as a graveyard at midnight. Lin coin, Nebraska, was the choice in a walkaway. A whole escritoire of cor dial invitations came from the gov ernOr and the city officials, and Mr. Wolfenbarger portrayed the advan- tages of Lincoln so graphically and upheld the beauty and culture of his city with such genuine frankness and eloquence that he carried the whole convention to his way of thinking. There was spasmodic effort in be- half of Chicago, and John c. Herndon of Prescott read letter from Governor Turney of Tennessee asking the con- gress to meet at Nashville Mr. Hern-
 don thought that by meeting at Nash vile there would be a union of inter-
 ests of the north and the south, and he urged the selection of that city Lincoln, however, was the choice by
 exclamation.
