Bede's Budget again reaches

sheet IS evidently re-established
for campaign purposes, and J.

object of admiration, though oft.

pity at the apparent near-sight
edness displayed.
Capt. R. D. Evans, of the navy,
Was recently in Washington and
called on Secretary Olney to talk
over Cuban matters. He was
very earnest in advocating action
on the part of our government,
and reached climax by exclaim
ing: { If they'd just give me a
chance to go down to Cuba with
the Indiana, no language but
Spanish would be spoken in hel:
for the next five years."

h Crcnes':ian and the ,Dinkey man.

Tn Crcnesn'an and the ,Dinkey man.
The crancsman of a shovel,
From the early spring till fall,
Is man of much Importance
And the mighty Lord of all.
And everyone must meekly bow
Before his every whim,
And no one knows bloody thing
Excepting Cod and him.
And even the Greater
Has to stop and take rest
And step into the background
When the crancsman does his best.
Not soul Oh earth is higher,
And but very few so high,
AS the bold and daring cranesman
Till he's called upon to die.
And this badly written jargon
Makes a lame attempt to show
The hereafter of a cranesrnan
In the region where he'll go.
1t happened once upon a time.
AS curious happenings will,
A cranesman and dinkey-man
Fell seriously ill.
And, spite Of all the doctors care
And watchful nurses toll,
Both dinkey-man and cranesman
Shuffled off this mortal coil.
And as tho liberated souls
Left their respective clay
They saw and joined each other
AS they took their common way
Toward the bourne from whence,
Wc'er told,
No traveller comes back.
And as they journeyed heavenward
Along the beaten track,
The spirit of dinkey-man,
With meek and submissive faith,
Presumed to ask a question
OF the autocratic wrath.
Though we'll he knew by such an act
He over stepped his line
Which separates the cranesmane
From the rest of human kind.
So with fear and palpitation !,
Hid within his ghostly breast
He knelt before tho cranesman
AS he protfered his request:
20 spirit Of a monarch
Who has ruled all earth below,
Perhaps, with all your knowledge,
You can tell me where we co..
Don't consider this presumption
Or objectionable gall,
For you know on earth you taught me
To believe you knew it all,
And as tho present journey.
Which we unwillingly pursue,
May be the last excursion
For awhile for and you,
ut becomes a serious matter
And I'd like to comprehend
What is going to be our portion
When we reach our journeys end"
Onward stalked the ghostly cranesman
In his grand. imperial style,
But he paused to tell the other,
With cold and sneering smile
"Ncver dtnkey-1nan that ever
Had to take a cranesman's roast
Is deserving of the notice
or a cranesman, or his ghost.
But I'll tell you this, young fellow,
When we reach tho place Of rest
AS the cranesman of Il shovel
I'm entitled to the best.
II know enough, and always did,
To be the shining light
And when we reach the mansions
I'll insist upon my rights.
may, perhaps make up my mind
To let the things alone
Until I get acquainted,
Then I'll mount the Masters throne;
"Then times in Heaven will b. changed
And oil things run by me
In earth and Heaven, sea and sky
Just as they ought to be;
For God has quite sllp-shoa way

But on his part it's ignorance,
AS can plainly tell.
But Us know it I'LL and moro,
And this Is nothing strange,
LII just take charge and run things right
And make tho angels change
And hustle round and sweat a bit
And Heaven then will boom,
And every one will kiss my feet
Or else I'll send them home,
so you sec. my boy, or ought to,
Ihere are going to be no flies
On your foxy Uncle Sammy
In the home beyond the Skies"
Stunned and silent was the spirit
or the humble diukey-man
by the mammoth gall and grandeur
VI the crnnesman's spOokish plan.
But he found his voice to whisper
Noble spook, crave boon;
II there's lots Of room in heaven
Can como and clean spittoons?'
But the cranesman cruelty answered,
With fierce sardonic grin;
"Why, you poor. unfathcrcd Founding
They won't even let you IMP
HIlc you Cne last words echoed
On his lips, they came in sight
or star, which close inspection
Showed to be st. Peters light
up to Peter strobe the cranesman
With the air Of any prince
And SO much bonlhastic dignity
1t made St. Peter vince.
But he waved the cranesman's spirit
10 one side like one accursed
AND said: YOU'RE rather swift, my boy
The other man comes first"
On hearing this the dinley-man.
Astonished and amazed,
Stood rooted to the heavenly soil
His ghostly senses dazed:
Until St. Peter took his hand,
With smile serene and bland,
And said: ''Why son, don't be alarmed
You've reached the Heavenly land
And here you stay for evermore,
You have private box;
And heavenly music will cfface
All thoughts of earthly knocks.
you'll wear the spotlcss robe and crow
That can't be bought nor sold
And when you wish to exercise
You'll walk the streets of gold
You ne'er will know, as on the earth,
The woe of the oppressed
But always will, day in, day out,
Enjoy perpetual rest.
"They ranked you on the earth, l know,
With Fnlander and Pole.
Now enter into thy reward.
Thy faith hath made thee WHOLE
At this st. Peter turned the key,
The pearly gates flew wide,
The dinkeyman, with thankful heart,
Passed gracefully inside.
And as the golden light streamed forth
Into the outer gloom
The cranesman saw the promised land
And realized his doom.

Factory buildings.

One Of the most perplexing problems
that the mechanical engineer or the So
perintendent Of a manufacturing estab-
lishment encounters is the dovetailing
OF new buildings upon old ones 50 as TO
work In harmony with them and at the
same time introduce such improve
ments as may be necessary. Frequently
half dozen buildings are erected on a
large plot Of ground, each building fac
ing in way that seems most conven-
lent at the time and without any particu-
lar reference to the others. When the
establishment has grown so that the
available ground area must be nearly
covered over with buildings and each
one must, either by shafting or betting,
be connected with its neighbor or with
some central source Of power, then the
trouble arising from lack of harmony in
the original structures makes itself felt
in most aggravating manner. 1t seems
sometimes as though trouble had been
created ON purpose by those who first
erected the shops, so aggravating and
uncompromising do the buildings APP
pear. The moral therefore is that in
putting up shop it is well to think a
long way ahead and to consider at least
some Of the most probable contingencies
of the future. Casters Magazine.

Prime. 1. n King In Exile.

The Figaro gives, apropos Of the
Channel islands, some interesting de-
tails of sun roi EN- exil, !" but Of a king
who never reigned and an exile who
never wandered. The monarch in Ques-
ton is Prinet I and the last of that
dynasty. He reigned over the Ecrehous
islands, small group lying TO the
northeast of Jersey. He had, however,
only one subject, his wife, and perhaps
that is more than all married men can
boast of. The royal residence was in
Blanque lie, and here the king earned a
narrow living, his revenue coming from
fish, struggled brandy and pigeon breed
ing. The pigeons he generally are. A
high tide from time to time invaded his
kitchen, and also the throneroom, which
was next to the kitchen.
He held his wife. Queen Philippe,
under despotic control and made her
work hard in household avocations. One
of her principal tasks must have been
repairing the royal wardrobe, as it is
recorded that her gracious majesty the
queen of England presented him with a
vest some 20 years ago, and that be
wears it still Queen Philippe then pre-
sented her sister monarch with piece
Of embroidery. Prinet had fallen upon
evil days and Is now an exile in the
hospital at st. Heliers. Pail Mall Ga

| One of the great disappointments in
the life of an NJ. p. is that, though ses-
sions come and sessions go, his little pet
scheme of legislation, which be hoped
to be able to place ON the statute book,
never advanced beyond the initiatory
stage of first reading. Another cruel
disappointment is that, after devoting
days and nights to taxing his brain for
antitheses. epigrams and other flowers
of rhetoric for his speech in great de-
bate, he patiently sits night after night
during the time allotted for the debate,
ON the pounce TO .'catoh the speakers
eye,'' but fails to fix the attention Of
that wandering orb, while he hears his
arguments and his illustrations used by
other men, who have probably gone to
the same source for them, until AZ last
the end comes without an opportunity
having been afforded him 10 relieve his
mind of the weighty unspoken speech
which Expresses il. Then mis- constitu-

One Of Fisla,a Prani..

A story that has been written about
Field concerns the trick he played on
two car loads Of Kansas City merchants
who went away one time on an excur-
sion. Each car was to go by different
route, and the cars separated at an early
hour in the morning when everybody
was asleep, except Gene Field, who was
along to write up the trip. just before
the cars parted company he carried all
the shoes from one sleeper into the other
and carefully exchanged them. Then he
took the shoes from the sleeper that had
q double supply and carried them into
the sleeper where nobody had any shoes.
The next morning there was a blue
streak two ways across Kansas. Every
man in both sleepers was miles and
miles away from his own shoes.
