And while against my brow and cheek,
A soft and cooling zephyr blew,

That Ind heard about the race,
And whites who fought upon the place.

The time and things that Wctzel saw,

Among u wilderness that then did grow,
And on its bosom tlnnting down,
An Indian squaw, Haywood drown.

Where now n city's mansions show,
An Indian village where the foe,
In numbers hurried to and fro,
And at WiGwam doors saw,
The gay puppooses, dog and sQuaw.

And thought heard the deeds and names
or many hero great and brave,

With chief and warrior, sQuaw md cur,
When news was spread with Indian skill
That whites were on the stony hill
saw the warriors scale the heights,
To burn or massacre the whites.
Then saw them reel and stunned or slain
Fall head long to the ground again.

And on the lcdges everywhere,
With deadly hatred In their eyes,
The Indian braves Of every size;
At last the bloody fight was DER,
And gun nor whOop was heard no more.
And while I saw on battle plain,
The dying, wounded and the slain,
The evening shadows stole around,
And broke the spell tnat held me bound.
And NIL the scene of long ago,
Depnrte and heard below,
The murmur OF n thrifty town,
And as turned to take me down,
felt like one that Just had seen,
A mighty fight, and on the green
And CORY grass, lay In heap,
The dead In their eternal sleep.

Looking FOR IL JOB,

For eleven months Chicago has
been busy with the fate of young
man of 20 years.
"I've been here eleven months"
he says, "and am in NV sixth pair
of shoes, but so far as a position is
concerned Pm just where l was
when l struck the town last FcL-
ruury."
Surprise was expressed that he
had wrestled so long with the hard
times proposition.
"I'il tell you-if I'd been trained
to any N'lc trade or profession, |
never wOuld have had the nerve to

am"
"lIow's that?" asked a tall man,
effectively.
"Did you ever look for Il job in
Chicago?" was the reply.
"NU."
"You try it once and you'll see.
It's this way:

"Well, you know, if manager

that I've had no business training

his chin.

"'But you are handicapped by

Gle doesn't stop to think that a
young chap 20 years old has had to
put in most of his time in school
simply to get the education that is
ntedful.
"rhcn he begins to tell me that
he has IL good place for an expert
accountant or for stenOgrapher

WAsHINGToN Jan. %, 1S97.-Sen
ator Cameron who has only few
weeks more OF public life and wht
considers himself entirely out o
politics and who consequently
doesn't care whose political toes
he treads on, is doing some very
plain talking, like his father, the
late Simon Cameron, he has an ex.
pressive vocabulary, about the
fliphop certain republican Senators
have turned on his Cuban resolu.

John Sherman, who he says AS
sured him before he was compelled
to accept the position Of Secretary
OF State In McKlnley's cabinet that
he WAS for his resolution and who
has since then used his influence
among Senators who wish to be
solid with Mckinley against the
resolution so industriously that if
the resolution was now brought to

he became Secretary of the Treas.

Of houses In an undesirable section
OF East Washington and they were
all sold to employees OF the Treas

Mr.. Sherman made those Treasury
employees buy undesirable houses
at big price, but you can imagine

Huhby's Right to Open Letters.

The question is again being discussed
whether marriage gives husband the
right to open and read his wife's letters.
Fifty Years ago this right was never ques-
toned, but in America of late the courts
have taken the ground that this right does
not exist. A decision to that effect is
quoted as curiosity in France, where if is
held tina a Wife has no right to private
correspondence. European laws imply that
a wife ma not demand privacy in her cor
respondenc.: that sne and her husband ara

New York, Dec. 13-s -sPeace md harmony

Ribhon-rs. An International war has broken
outin the Worlds woman's Christian TEN
perance Union because OF the position it
vice president, Lady Henry Somerset, has
taken ou the subject of purity.
Dissrnsions have arisen among the thou
sands who belong TO the great association
founded 10y Miss frances f. Willard the
end OF which Iio one can foreSee.
While adniiring Lady Somerset person

date for reelection she would be over

ma iority of the union on both continents

would probably have suffered defeatat the
recent worlds convention in Toronto but
for the fact that her election vas left
to the executive committee, which is COM
posed OF friends of Miss willard, an ardent
supporter OF Lady Somerset.
There was the strongest possible Opposi
ton to her In the convent ion. which adopted
resolutions upholding the social purity
platform. The Worlds woman's Christian
Temperance Union is pledged To the prin-
ciples of the American Purity Alliance,
nearly every woman member OF which be
longs to the W. C. T u. They were
amazed at Lady somerset's stand On the
purity question as affecting the Engish
army.
Mrs. Josephine E. Butler, wife of the
late Canon Butler, of Winchester Catiie-
dral, England, superintendent of the purity
department OF the Worlds W. c. 7. T.,
and honorary y president OF the International
Federation for the Abolit ion Of State Reg
ulation Of Vice, rebelled against Lady
Soinerset's connection with the organiZa-
ton. She and her hosts OF friends aInOng
the White Kibboners in England and this
country. declared that if the Worlds w. G.
T. U. did not ask for Lady SoInersets
resignation there would he serious trouble.
Their protest has not been needed, so
Mrs. Butler has severed her relations wita
the Worlds Union.
Many Of the dissenting members Of the
union do not approve of Miss willard's
support of Lady Somerset, but they recoc-
nize the splendid work she has accom-
piished, and will be true to her They
hope that Lady Somerset mag he brought
