THE HERHLD'S MUSE
The Home of the Hannagagee

dream of a wonderful land.
On the shores of the Pluto sea-,
Where the Prosper flows DER golden sand;
'Tis the home of the Hannagagee.
There the song of the Cenpercen
Makes all thought of toll to flee;
And over the beautiful Banks of When
Falls the shade of the Shilock tree.
There the Higo flower grows
On the hills of the Dollarwheet.
And the breeze from the Monop gently
blows
Through the hedges of Hipry sweet;
And the Blldu flies through the air,
Finding food in every flower;
And its gentle notes wake the soul to
prayer,
With new interest every hour.
There the silver moon swings low,
In the far-away valley of Nit;
While over the east, in golden glow,
The eagles in myriads fit.
There the plains of the Refund stretch
To the endles edge of Tyne,
And over them tireles caravans fetch
The treasures of every cline.
There the Hobo supernal blooms,
Bearing each month its fruit;
And the little Jaype and the Constable
booms
On the shores of the Loo-sing-soot.
The Hoodoo sings early and late,
And the Bankrupt's plumage glints;
While Dotage HES to the halls of state,
And Usurers manage the mints.
There the gentle Injunction rules.
And the Judi hold full sway;
And the Posse pumps for the Toiling-tools
With Winchesters every day.
And the friendly Famine brings
Prosperity over the sea-
And 10Y to the World" is the song 1t
sings.
In the home of Hannagagee.

BANJO MUSIC
Makes Famous an Otherwise Un-
noticed Funeral


ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9.-The requiems of
the funeral of Edward Q. Mcbride were
the most unique that ever marked a
funeral in st. Louis. The deceased had
been an accomplished musician and was
an expert on the banjo. His dying re-
quest was that the only music at his fun
eral should be from the banjos Of his
friends.
Among the selections played by trio
of banjoists were "Massa's in the Cold,
Cold Ground" and an air from the "Bo-
hemian Girl"
These were favorite tunes with the
dead man. The body was then taken to
the St. Louis crematory. Mcbride was
the only person but one who could play
the overture Of William Tell on the banjo
1t was the second time that ever such
a funeral took place. the other beingiii
New York several years ago, when the
services consisted of classical selections
by six 'banjoists.

A LEGAL PUZZLE

The tribunals OF last resort on Iredl
Britain are just now greatly agitated
over legal puzzle whicA-neither the
house of lords nor the final court of ap-
peals has yet been able to decide upon
authority.
The question presents some points of
analogy with some of those that have
arisen in the course of the labor strikes
In this country, but the rights, or the
duties Of the employer not being in
yolved, the general principle is not the
same. The facts, briefly stated, are
these:
Two shipwrights were in the employ
ment of the Glengall Iron company.
These men were at work on the wood
work of vessel, but it became known
that when working for another employer
they had done ironVork. But for ship
wright to touch work on a ship, which
belongs to a boilermaker, as does iron
work, is a most serious matter. Accord
ingly, the boilermakers told the Glengall
Iron company firmly, but politely that if
| they continued to employ the two ship
wrights, they, the boilermakers must
quit work. The company yielded to the
pressure put on them, and dismissed the
two men.
There was no question Of breach Of
contract involved. The action was
brought by the discharged shipwrights
against the boiermakers for damages
for causing their dismissal But it is
admitted that the representations Of the
boilermakers were a mere declaration
of a lawful volition; that the company
had the right to act as it did in discharg
ing the men in order to avert suggested
ceded that the discharged men suffered
loss through their dismissal, and that
the loss, under the circumstances, was
in nowise attributable either to their
own acts or to the free and voluntary
act of the common employer
All around the question is very nicely
balanced. If a wrong was suffered
the law, as science, should
be able to give remedy, ard this is the
require ment that taxes the analytical
capacity Of the lords and the judges But
we are more practical on this side of the
water and under like circumstances
would not hesitate to establish prece-
0ant, in the absence of any authority
upon whichto base decision And this
! seems to; be the trouble The lords will
|
have to Become practical, too. AS way
out it might be suggested that if the
boilermakers could lawfully growl and
the common employer could lawfully
take cognizance of the growl in the man
ner indicated, then these acts being law
full did not unlawfully invade lawful
status. howsoeve- great the loss If
however. the growl was an act of op-
preston and unnecessary for the pro-
lection of the immediate growler, thu
courts of this country would probably
decide that the growler must pay for the
luxury of growing at the very great ex-
the manifest anxiety Of so high a tribu.
nal to settle this humble controversy
upon principle is not the least interest
ing phase of the controversy. But when
the eight judges and the house of lords
shall have finally settled the question,
there will be precedent established
that will be as freely invoked in this
country as in the courts of England.

Careless Cutting

SAN FRANCISCO, October 9.-James
G. Bennett, an engineer, cut the throat
of his divorced wife this morning and
then attempted suicide by the same
means in the woman's room on the fourth
floor of the lodging house at IA McAllis-
ter street. Jealousy Is supposed to be
the cause of the cutting. Both are at the
Receiving Hospital, but neither is fatal

He Had the Signs

He looked with leer grotesque and queer
He walked with halting tread;
His back was bent and a bandage went
Three times around his head;
Upon his brow of livid hue
Were tell-tale marks of black and blue,
And from his eye, half closed to view,
He gave a furtive glance or two,
AS hunted things are wont to do;
And from these signs somehow knew
He had slept in a folding bed.

"a TRIBUTE)
He stood in the light
Like a prophet sage,
Surrounded by night
And a darksome age.
His anthems were sweet
AS the angels sing;
With hopeful heat
And heavenly ring.
Like a poet seer.
On mountain height
Below storms appear
And the lightnings smite:
Binding clouds beneath,
Yet his sun shone bright,
Like halo wreath
OF divinest light.
He sung Of that light
Which we may not see;
Of the righteous right,
OF the just and free.
With a faith sublime
And love supreme,
He wrought for the time
OF which poets dream.

Scattered Rose Leaves

I carelessly plucked a full blown rose,
And caused its velvety petals to fall
Twas the fairest flower
Within the bower
That clung to the garden wall.
They fell as light on the dark green sod
AS flakes of virgin snow would chance
On their way to the ground
Without a sound
To pause on some swaying branch
Then a cool, soft breeze, with hardly a
rustic
Gently stole them, leaf by leaf,
To watt them away,
While l stood in dismay
With the heartfelt pang of grief.
But a moment before in ecstacy paused
And gleefully smiled at its graceful nod,
AS the sun-kissed breeze
That caressed the trees
Kissed the rose that fell to the sod.

And on those lips a smile at play
With joy she seemed to die.
Thus purity has passed away;
And shall we say that such Is damned

How hard those lines to understand.
A few short months in this fair world;
Come, little children, unto mel

And raised her tiny arms in glee.

PROCEDURE WITHOUT OBJECT

In communication to The Herald,
published in another column, Mr.. NJ
w. Conkling explains his connection
with the semi surreptitious marriage of
Crandall to the girl Frowiss at Santa
Monica. Mr.. Conkling stoutly denies
that the intent of the marriage was to
prevent the girl from testifying in the
forthcoming murder trial. What was it
for, then? Why should notorious street
walker marry a man accused of murder?
Was it to save her reputation?
AS matter Of fact, The Herald Is in
formed that the Frowiss girl heard
Crandall make threats against the man
whom he murdered, short time before
the crime was committed. If such is
fact, we leave it for the lawyers to de-
termine whether she would have been
an important witness or not. Mr.. Conk-
ling states that If the girl is found to be
material witness he is perfectly will
ing that she shall testify at the trial.
The intent of Mr.. Conkling may be all
right, but can he by his own dictum set
aside a statute which says that mar
ried woman cannot be compelled to tes-
tify against her husband. The newly
welded Mrs. Crandall may have some
thing to say about her testimony.

One Person in Every Four Suffers
From Piles.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease
The most common and annoying Is
itching piles, indicated by warmth
slight moisture and intense, uncontrol-
liable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salVe which some
times give temporary relief but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be eN-
pected from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid
Pile Cure, not only for itching piles,
but for every other form of piles, blind,
bleeding or protruding. The first APP
plication gives instant relief and the
continued use for a short time causes
u permanent removal of the tumors
or the small parasites which cause the
intense itching and discomfort of Itch
ing piles
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was be-
cause it was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium, or similar drugs, but such
is not the case. a recent careful analy-
sis of the remedy showed it to be abso-
lutely free from any cocaine, opium
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever. Sold by druggists al
