II the United States had gobbled up a
portion Of the Chinese Empire, as has
been done by Germany, there would be
great roar from all Europe about the

European power setting an example that
England, France, and Russia may soon
emulate. no word Of protest is heard
fFom any foreign capital. The division
of the Orient has been the dream Of

Why should not the United Stares and
Russia form an alliance? The Siberian
nilway from st. Petersburg to Vladvos-
tock, makes the bear and the eagle seem
much nearer to each other, and looking
at each other across the Pacific their
interests are moro nearly identical than
any other two powers Of the period. If
such treaty should be made the other
nations Of the world could disband their
armies and "hammer the sword into the
plowshare," for it would more nearly
insure universal pcace than any OTHER

This is the season of the year when the

with the advertising thrown in. We are

Everybody in Colorado, outside the
capital city, knows the greatest difficulty
in the way Of Denver's rapid growth
lies in the petty jealousies and selfish
motives that actuate many Of her public
men. Two years ago when the mining
exposition seemed an assured fact, . few
OF her wealthy men, who shrank in
horror at even the thought OF possible
increase in taxes, placed the proverbial
straw on the burdened camels back in
the shape of threatened injunction, and
the exposition was abandoned. Omaha,
with less population and less local wealth
but better judgement and united enter
prise will reap harvest that would have
ripened in Denver. The same kind Of
methods have characterized attempts to
build an auditorium. We are all proud
Of the Queen City Of the Plains. She is
without peer, among cities Of her size,
in this country, and no criticism OF her
commercial or municipal bodies ever ap-
pears in these columns without it seems
justly merited. Denver people and the
Denver papers are prone to assume that
comments Of state papers are the walls
OF disgruntled editors. because many Of
their constituents go to Denver to spend
their money. This is wrong, and we
should like to point out to these same
denizens OF Denver that disinterested
distant observation frequently comes
pretty near to the point, and il the
observations Of the state press be needed
the city would profit most thereby.

Weary Watkins" in his well-worn blue
and jaunty military cap, but sad eyes and
pathetic features told Of a discouraged
heart and disappointed life. He repre-
sented himself as being equal to any
ordinary work on a newspaper, editorial,
literary or reportorial. Being succored
to the limit of a square meal, he was told
to call the next day. He did 30, but
finding that the editor had been called
away from town unexpectedly, he sat
down and wrote two short poems. differ
ing in character, but both alike in spirit.
He used for the purpose some scraps of
writing paper, on one Of which he left a
short note for the absent-editor to tine
effect that the verses were q specimen Of
his work, which we could use il we felt
so inclined, but that, unless we returned
within day or two, he would probably
move on" The poems were published.

which was appended brief and truthful
explanation OF the incident Of their COM

Near the campfire's Pickering light
In my blanket bed lie,
Gazing through the shades Of night
At the twinkling stars on high.
Ger me, spirits in the air
Silent vigils seem to keep
As breathe my childhood's prayer:
Nov I lay me down to Sleep"
Sadly sings the whip. .poor-will
In the boughs OF yonder tree;
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the mighty melody.
Foemen may be lurking near
In the canon dark and deep
Low / breathe in Jesus ear:
"Ipray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep"
Mid those stars face see
Ono the Savior called away
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In this lonely mountain brake
Take me to her, Saviour dear,
"If should die before l wake.''
Fainter grows the Pickering light
As each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds of night
Fill the air with saddening cries.
Over me they seem to cry
you may nevermore awake"
Low l lisp: "If I should die,
II pray Thee, Lord. my soul to take" !"
"Now lay me down to sleep;
/ pray Thee, Lord. my soul to keep.
II should die before wake,
Ipray Thee, Lord, my soul to take"
