In the Cleveland Plain Dealer appears
these beautiful sentiments following the
death OF Mrs. NJ. E. S. Brady. which &C.
CURED recently in this city;
dn memory OF Mrs. NJ. T.. S. Brady
She drlfted from earth's harbor quays-
Set sail for the luminous lands
BY the splendid shores OF the sunset seas
Where the Christ eXetends His hands,
She slipped her moorings without n sound
- And rounded the uttermost cape
That the searching souls OF men have
Or that dimmcst dreams can shape,
Tho love It's barriers did intervene
with the strength OF buttressed fort
She passed between with sails serene,
Like u fair ship leaving port.
Secure md sure was her yoarnng flight
Through the ether seas, star-strewn.
For bright thro' the night beamed bea.
con-llght
Streaming down from the great White
Throne.
All brcezes fair famed n voyage rare,
And they carried the cargo DER
The diamond tears and pearls of prayer
Till 1t touched on the ultimate shore.
Full safe the flight, tho tho barquc was
As SIC swept through the bending blue,
For the compass that kept her course
Alright
Was Gods own finger true.
She passed tho borders Of Times control
To tho futures fair frontier
To tho gracious goal OF stainless soul
with heart that knew no fear.
50 sailed the ship on her homcward trip,
So brnvely she crossed the bar,
And stcorcd TN she entered Heavens
slip
Beneath Gods guiding star.

Builders' Convention.
The Wheeling Builders Exchange will
be represented this year at the annual
convention of the International Build
ers Exchange, which occurs in Toronto,

year has seen 1t invited to the interna-
tlonal meeting, nevertheless.
II has been thought by the local build
ers advisable to be represented this
year, and learn what benefits would &C.
crue from afflllatlon. President w. A,
Wilson and likely two other members
will go 10 Torono. The meeting of the
international fellows is always big
thing, and expense counts nothing
where enjoyment Is desired.

dent Lincoln said:

Rev. Sam Jones scorches the society
women in the following language:
when God gives man wife and
six children He has done g. great deal
for that fellow. But whenn He gives him
a society woman and poodle He has
thrown off on him. These society wo-
men look upon children as nuisance.
Z have had some of these little old So
rciety women shake hands with me. I
had as soon shake dead fish's tail. [
wouldn't give one of your old sock
darning women for all the society wo-
men in the country. Between cutting
off the top of their dress for the ball
room and the bottom for the bicycle
these society women will soon have no
clothes left. A man said to society
woman, 81 hope I'll see more of you
She said, Come to'ths ball tonight
Some people say you shouldn't speak
this way before mixed audiences. You
ride the bicycle before mixed audiences.
You old sisters wear high collar close
around your necks-that's modest and
cor1sly. But deliver me from the So
ciety women who button their collars
around their waists. You preachers
don't talk that way, do you? You talk
about the sweet bye and bye. You ought
to talk about the nasty now and now"

We now have an opportunity to see
whether plutocratic corporations are to
be held to the same strict rule regard
ling the sacredne of law as working
linen. A Kansas court has ousted a
Kansas railroad from certain land, on
the ground of forfeiture. The question
had been regularly tried and the deci-
SIGN formally made. The law, as so far
determined, was clearly against the
railroad and in favor Of the man who
had prosecuted the forfeiture. The
latter thereupon fenced in the land in
controversy. But the corporation, de-
flying it's adversary, defying the court,
defying the Sheriff, hss destroyed the
fence, and with hired mob taken for
chile possession of the forfeited land
Ought the corporation to have obeyed
the law, leaving its rights to be deter
mined later? or was it justified in re-
sisting the officers of the lawf Here
is an excellent occasion for "lawaabid-
ing'' editorials in the plutocratic press.
But none will come In that quarter
officers of the law have no rights which
corporations are bound to respect Re
pressive laws are for w6rkingmen, not
for porations.-CIevelan Recorder.

All For Glory.

An Ohio contemporary thoughtlessly
remarked that it takes money to run
newspaper, whereupon the editor Of
the Seguache (Colo.) Herald rolls up
his sleeves, spits on his hands and
promptly nails the lie as follows:
"It doesn't take money to run anews-
paper; it can be run without money. 1t
is charitable institution, a begging
concern, highway robber, B'Godfrey.
The newspaper is the child of the air,
a creature of dream. It can go on
and on and on, when any other concern
would be in the hands of a receiver and
wound up with cobwebs in the window
It takes gall to run newspaper. 1t
takes a scintillating, acrobatie imagina-
ton, half dozen white shirts, and a
railroad pass to run newspaper. But
money-Heavens to Betsy and six hands
around, who ever needed money in con-
Quoting newspaper?

change that do the business for the ed
itor-kiud words and church social
tickets. When you see an editor with
money, watch him. He'll be paying
bills and dlsgracing his profession.
him trade it out. He likes to swap
Then when you die, after having stood
around for years and sneered at the
editor and his little jim crow paper, be
sure and have your wife send in for
three extra copies by one of your weep
ing children, and when she reads the
generous and touching notice about
you, forewarn her to neglect to send
T fifteen cents to the editor. It would
overwhelm him.
"Money is corrupt thing. The edi-
tor knows it, and what he wants is your
heartfelt thanks. Then he can thank
the printers and then they can thank
their grocers. Send your work to out
side places and then come and ask for
half rates for church notices.
"'The Lord loves tie cheerful giver.
He'll take care of all the editors. Do
not worry about the editor. He has a
charter from the state to act as door
mat for the community. He'll get the
paper out somehow; and stand up for
