THE INFINITE STRUGGLE.

A~OA AuC ouCuOl los DCCA olylCu
''The Pess:mist Poet" But what is Pessi-
mism, except that eternal vigilance, which
is the concommitant, as well as the price
of liberty-and what is optimism but that
lazy Indifference that allows empires to de-
cay? Pessimism has reared an retained
republics, but optimism has destroyed them
While our liberties are per.shing; while
there are wrongs to be righted, pessimism
and not optimism is the truest patriot. OPP
timism never r!ghted wrong. pessim:sm
never created one
What chance have the poor in this struggle
for life, where millions go down as
the grass,
That totters and falls, meath the mowers
keen blades, who seem unconcerned as
they pass?
Long have we fought for our lives, but to
die in the harness, that others
might gain
The need of our toll, who but Taught at our
breed; see the wasting of virtue
and health;
The dull, wasted lives! ambitions that rust
in the dens of Americas slaves
To system eating them body and SOU, fill
ing the earth with their graves!
The endless procession that follows grim
Death, and winds down the wales of
Despair,
Ever recruits from gaunt Poverty's huts-
and our system erected them there!
Go down to the slums, where criminals
breed; see the wasting of virtue and health;
OF beauty and manhood, goowness and
power, that others may add to their
wealth!
Oh, how many Millions have withered away;
their accents forever unheard;
Their souls e'er as blind as the eyes of that
bard, who, the fountains of poesy
stirred?
The Herschels, and Franklins, who grope
in the dark, where genius can never
expand,
Are more at loss than Plutocrat's gold
were it banished for aye from our
land.
The great common people! how like vast
field of flowers that perfume the air,
But, uncared for, and checked by cumber-
some weeds, till their stocks are
withered and bare!
o, We toilers, who gather the money for
drones! durdging from year unto
year?
Your lives and your strength fast wearing
away, while you crawl in your mis-
cry here;
How long ere your rights you'll sternly de-
mand, that your bodies and minds
| may unfold;
| That some of the laws shall be made for
the poor, nor bought with the Pluto
| Gratis gold?
Why sing of "our country?" no longer tits
| ours? Why each independence
| Day shout
We are loosing the rights that our fathers
| once gained-the rich are fencing US
o. toilsweating brothers! why will We be
| slaves, with arms of conquest al
hand?
Why will We stoop to political greed, when
the ballot is free in the land?
Blind slaves of the classes-ye masses
| awake! shake the dust from out OF
thine eyes!
Throw off the gold bonds swift bearing ye
down to the shades of Perdition-
arise!
Arise, o We toilers! America save, and strike
for your country and home!
Our freedom is fading away in the mists
as faded the glory of Rome!

About That Dance.

Mr.. EDITOR:
In regard to that little dance at the
W. A. P. A. social, |, as one of those
who made the blunder deem it my
duty to make this explanation in order
to exonerate the ladies who made the
assertion to their friends that there
would be no dancing, it was done in
good faith on their part for we had said
that we would not have dancing in the
program and so it was understood by
ali, but at the request of the young
folks and some of the older, we at last
moment gave consent providing they
could find music, it was just little
impromtu affair and our sole aim was
to please not to offend and had no in
tentions of entrapping any one or be-
traying the confidence of any one, and
we sincerely hope Caught" will be as
conscientious in things as they are
about dancing and never be caught in
anything worse.

The Woman's club held their regular
fortnightll meeting in their club rooms
on Wednesday of this week, when a
very interesting paper on The In
dian," was read by Mrs Whitaker.
The discussion was led by Miss French
in delightfully."- easy manner, which
showed both her entire command of the
subject in hand and her complete con-
troll of the English language. One in
teresting point brought up in the dis
cussion was the Dawes bill, the sub
stance of which is that every Indian
who will give up his tribal relations
and become a CITIZEN of the United
States is given a certain amount of
land to hold for a period Of twenty five
years, at the expiration of which time,
if he has lived up to his contract, he or
his heirs are to come into actual pos
session. Already several thousand In
dians have taken advantage of this law.
The meeting closed with the usual cup
of tea, to meet again on Thursday, the
day after Ash Wednesday.

TOWN TOPICS.
Matters Talked of and Facts Now at the
Front in Kenosha.

Considering the fact that there re-
mains but ten days more in which So
ciety people can enjoy the innocent dis
sipation of dancing, card playing and
feasting before they settle down to fast
and penance, this past week has been
a very quiet one. The several church
suppers given by the different relig-
ious bodies, and Mrs. Perren's dancing
class seem to have been the principal
events. These dancing classes have of
late become very popular, taking some
what the nature of a weekly hop, where
all the daccing people, regardless of
age or station, can meet and enjoy
themselves.

A CoTERIE OF COATS.
The Objective Point of Fashion at
the Present Time.

The coat bodice and coats in general
are the objective point in fashion just
at present, and they appear in every
possible form between the loose box
coat, which is promised as a leading
style for street wear in the spring, and
the close-ftting coat waist with belt
and narrow basque frill. The black
velvet coats lately imported to be worn
with silk, cloth, or velvet skirts, have
grown in length since the early part
of the season. but they boast the same
white satin revers, variously trimmed,
and narrow band of black velvet COW

side of. the waist lines in front and

of coat is shown in the illustration.
1t is made of green shot velvet, to wear
with green cloth skirt. Pompadour

In tints of apple green;
Her lace IS flmy to the gaze
And lovely to be seen.
In peerless curves perfection sought to mold
her.
But, OH what taketh me-
or all the grace l see,
Is the bonnie little bow upon her shoulder.
Oh. charming is the rose ALLOW
Upon her lissome breast;
The girdle green that laughs below
Might Hebes form have pressed
She looks as If she never could grow older,
But, oh, what wins my glance
And sets my heart a-dance
Is the bonnie little bow upon her shoulder.
The yellow daisy mods at me
That peeps above her waist,
And seems to say, with saucy glee:
Now, am not in teste?"
Till every eye is happy to behold her,
But what gives me a thrill
I'm dreaming OF IL still
Is the bonnie little bow upon her shoulder.

Black cloth gowns are still we'll liked,

One point in which we have greatly
improved this season is a knowledge of
color that has brought about the use of
more vivid and yet pleasing contrasts
than heretofore in vogue in gowns and
millinery.
Never has fur been more popular and
never has it been so cleverly cut and
contrived. 1t is ornamented with cloth
or silk applique, which is laid over the

are just as popular as ever. Chin

the taste of the coiffeur as we'll as to
the development of individual styles
OF beauty. The arrangement of loops
and coils is studied with care, so that
they may not have solid effect or
look clumsy.
Prevailing modes of French evening
couture incline toward the Louis XIX.
period, and the pompadour reigns tri-
umphant. The hair is thickly waved
together for day or evening and turned
back only a few curls being allowable
on the forehead. For day wear the
present fashion of high and fanciful
collars necessitated placing the knot at
least half way up the back of the head
For evening, when the knot is high, the
curled ends Of the hair may fall loosely
on the neck in such fashion that the
contour of the head still shows in all it's
beauty.
