THE LITTLE OLD CLERK.

Tho little old clerk Is thin and gray,
And his coat is shiny Mt every scam.
Bis hat belongs to u long past day,
And his boots arc patched meath tho black
ing's CLEAN.
s.shabby genteel,'' or scarcely that,
Tho passersby dub him, with vulgar scorn,
That little old clerk i'll the napless hat,
Tho faded coat and the boots SO worn.
The little old clerk from ten till Eve,
With slight respite for q meal between,
Sits writing on in q human hive,
The busiest boo 'lnong the drones, ween.
Smart young fellows in well made suits
(His fellow; c1erlxs) snccr, with scornful
eye,
at the faded coat and tho OLD patched boots
And ask him if better he cannot buy.
Tho littlo old clerk takes his naplcss hat
From off it's peg when his toll is DER,
Brushes the cont that they all snccr at,
Then, with patient sinilo, passes through the
door.
Twenty long years he clerk has been
In that office dim, yet no higher goes.
Many placed over his head hos seen,
Tho old clerks passed by in his shabby
clothes.
The little old clerk in the evenings gloom
Enters his cottage. with anxious eyes.
Some simple blossoms brighten the room,
A crippled form on the sofa lies.
As n sisters lips to his own arc pressed
(The ono for whom shabby through life he
gocs)
He thanks God that he with her love is blessed,
The little old clerlz in his faded clothes.

See how the great money kings are con.
trolled by the little boy Cupid See how
the great soldiers and men of power are
twisted around his little fingers
womans most precious possession is
the capacity for awakening pure and noble
love. More potent than wit or intellect is
the womanly capacity for happy wffehood
and motherhood.
woman who is weak or diseased in the
special organism Of her sex is deprived of
the power and prestige which naturally be-

Humping the hours away.
Oh, she is fair-so fair it seems
Almost Il burning shame
Such beauty there should languish quite
Unknown to fame.
Tppy. tappy, tippy, tappy.
How her fingers flyl
Though now and then she finds the time
For Just an eye glance sly.
And now and then smile illumes
The bleak and desert air,
And business isn't half the grind
With such n mascot there.
Tippy, tappy, tippy, tappy.
Oh, you little blessingi
IF you up and married now,
That would be distressing.
And so think I'll ask you first
In self defense, you see.

Two Ey-'rreasurers,

Senator Barela is after II. L.
MulniX with fire and birthstone.
Mulnix had $4,000 of the states
money in the busted Union Ma
tional bank and $2l 900 in the
busted American National bank.
Aud further, MulnlX collected less
interest than his predecessor by
800, 900. Barela has introduced a
resolution in the senate looking to
the investigation of all this.
Millionaire Molfatt, who took his
oath before Assessor Ames that he
was poor and not millionaire, Is
on Mr.. Mulnix's bond.
Recently Senator Barela was
treasurer of the state cattle inspec
tion hoard. On retiring he failed
to turn over'the money due the
board. He has not done so vet,
unless very lately. And his bonds
men are not good for the amount
too much straw on the bond.
Let the citizens of Colorado know
the whole truth about both of the Sc
eminent public servants. Mr.. Null
nix smiles at Barela's attack
Barela explains his shortage and
straw bond with a smile also
