AN INTERNATIONAL EPISODE.

March Is, 1882
We were ordered to Samoa from the
coast of Panama,
And for two long months we sailed the
unequal sea,
Till we made the horseshoe harbor with
its curving coral bar
Smelt the good green smell of grass
and shrub and tree.
We had barely room for swinging with
the tide
There were many of us crowded in the
bay
Three Germans and the English ship be-
side
Our three-and from the Trenton where
she lay,
Through the sunset Gains, and after,
We could hear the shrill sweet laughter
OF the children's voices on the shore at
play.
We all knew a storm was coming. but
dear God no man could dream
OF the furious hell-horrors of that day,
Through the roar of wind and waters
we could hear wild voices scream
See the rocking masts reel by US
through the spray
In the gale we drove and dr1fted help
With our rudder gone. our engine fires
drowned,
And none might hope another hour to
For ali the air was desperate with the
sound
Of the brave ship rent asunder-
vi the SnFlehtnS Souls SUCKED uIOtI
Meath the waves, where many a good
mans grave was found.
About noon, upon our quarter, from the
deeper gloom afar,
Came the English man-Of-war Calliope,
1--WE have lost our anchors, comrades,
and, though small the chances are,
We must steer for safety and the open
sea"
Then we climbed aloft to cheer her as
she passed
Through the tempest and the blackness
and the foam;
Now, God speed you, though the shout
should be our last,
Through the channel, where the mad
dened breakers comb,
Through the wild seas hill and hollow,
On the path we cannot follow,
To your women and your children and
your homes"
OH remember it, good brothers. We two
peoples speak one tongue,
And your native land was mother to
our land;
But the head, perhaps, is hasty when the
nations heart IS young,
And we prate of things we do not I'M
derstand.
But the day when We stood lace TO lace
with death
Upon whose face few men may look
and telD,
AS long as you could hear, or we had
breath,
-Four hundred voices cheered you out
of hell!
BY the will of that stern chorus,
BY the motherland which bore us,
Judge If we do not love each other We'll

Won His Bet.

a bewildered-looking farmer stood in
the center of Haymarket square looking
at the trolley wire.
The electric car came along and slowed
up. They rang the bell and shouted at
HIM and ordered him to move. He still
kept looking at the wire and making in
articulate sounds with his lips.
Get off the earth, you Jersey calfr'
shouted the motorman.
The old man was fairly bumped by the
siow-moving ear before he moved
Then he jumped and said: Il did it, by
thunder! Where's my money!"
He looked around cautiously and then
he said You seen a red-faced Teller

consequence has been that magnili-

hurry to bring in money to aid the
schools has caused, those having these

as a fair price was offered, instead of

the case in Utah we do not pretend to
say; if Utah's experience is an excep-
ton to the general rule, the state is
to be congratulated.

Mckinley and Hobart are doing all

be prospective, not retroactive, is that
the Chicago convention will have no
rules until it adopts them, and hence
its action will be prospective as it could
not possibly be retroactive.
1t is said that this rule may save the
convention from madness and suicide
by preventing the nomination of a free
silver candidate. Casting aside the
wild talk about madness and suicide
the very TACT that this same two-thirds
rule may prevent the nomination of a
free silver candidate is the best reason
in the world fer not adopting it if such
Is at all likely TO be the case. The sill

Today Major Mckinley will know
officially that he was nominated at ST
Louis. AT the same time he should
take official notice that there was a
bolt in the Republican convention by
the silver men because the convention
declared for the gold standard and
against free silver.

1t is all very well to say that free
silver is not the issue this year and
that protection is, but those who are
