TEARS AND sIGHs.

There never was yet a cloud in the sky,
Nor = drop of dew in the rose,
But has passed in tears from mortal eye,
From an Had of human woes.
There never existed a drop of rain,
Nor a drop in the mighty sea,
But has sometimes fallen tear of pain,
Or tear of misery.
There never was yet a summer shower
Like balm to the Darching leaf,
To Guench the thirst of desert flower,
But has ouenched some human grief.
Never a zephyr or wind did blow
Though fresh from empyreal skies
But what is burdened with human woe
And born on a million signs.
And there never was yet breeze or gale
But has passed through the human
breast,
AS martyrs sigh or a sinners wall,
Or groans from the earth's oppressed.

OSTRICH HUNTING.

An ostrich chase is very attractive sport:

on their fine little horses they try as much

An Indian Legend.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
The mystery surrounding the origin of
the Indian race is greatly enhanced by
here is one of them, related by the older
men Of the Mojave tribe:
AT the time of the Mojave, the white
man, the negro and all other people lived
together with their god, Mulevelia, whose
mother was the earth and whose father
the heaven.
They were all supplied with food, cloth
Ing and many luxuries. Besides these they
had tools and all kinds of implements and
machinery to work with.
Everything was manufactured, and espe-
cially matches
One day Mulevelia died, and all the peo-
pie excepting the Mojaves fled, after loot
ing the camps of everything they could
lay their hands on, not even leaving a
match.

success and so hungry that he tried to eat
up the dead god.

they used in burning up Muleveiia.

the papers lay before Gov. Hill awaiting
his signature Mr.. Gompers went direct to

financial interests have represented that
they cannot compete with other states
fairly because these other states do not

have evaded it absolutely
The governor vetoed the repeal of the
law. Since then the half holiday has been
in operation, both to the satisfac ton, it is
asserted, of employer and employe in a
large number of states.
Mr.. Gompers advocates arbitration in the
settlement of labor disputes, but always
exposes the what he terms hypocrisy
which preached arbitration without the
organization of workers. He believes that
arbltratlon is never successful except when
the parties to the dispute are equal or near

the toiler has is in organization.

Origin of the Steam whistle.

fTom iron.
1t is told that the locomotive whistle was
invented because of the destruction of a.
lead of eggs. When locomotives were first
built the country roads were for the most
part crossed at grade and the engine driver
had no way of giving warning OF his ap-
proach except by blowing a tin horn. The
horn, it may be imagined, was far from
being sufficient warning. One day in the
year 1893 a farmer of Thornton was cross
ing the railroad track on one pr the coun-
try roads with a great load bf eggs and
outter. Just as he came out upon the track
train approached. The engine man blew
his horn Justify, but the farmer did not
hear II. Eighty dozen of eggs and fifty
pounds OF butter were smashed into an
lndtstingutshable, unpleasant mass and
mingled with the kindling wood to which
the wagon was reduced. The railway COM
pany had to pay the farmer the value of his
wagon. 1t was considered a very serious
matter and straightway a director of the
company, Ashlen Baxter by name, went TO
Alton Grange, where George Stephenson
lived, to see IL he could not invent some
thing that would give warning more
likely to be heard. Stephenson went to
work and the next day had a contrivance
which, when attached to the engine boiler
and the steam turned on, gave out a shrill
discordaEt sound. The railroad directors,
greatly delighted, ordered similar contriv-
ances attached to all the locomotives. and
from that day to this the voice of the To-
comotive whistle has never been silent.
