ne of the author; but Jane will know it whe
The duchesses will seem passe,
When Jane goes dashing by;
Dukes will get smothered in the jam.
To catch her CHANGING eye;
The Pope viii watch her coming from
ST. Peters gilded dome;
The statues all will "cl ane their Recks,"
When Jane goes down to Rome.
Perhaps the Pope will be ensnared,
And wish he'd never took
The vow he did about the girls
Before he felt that look;
He'll want dispensation, too,
With leave to romp and roam;
For Jane will paint the Vatican,
when she goes down to Rome.
The holy water will ferment,
And turn to luscious wine.
Nestals wear tights like ballet girls,
And Monks in jewels shine;
Angeles Moses will make love,
Diana wed Il gnome,
And OrpheuS MARBLE Captain links,
When Jane goes down TO Rome.
The Coliseum's ancient games
Weren't such a sight to see
As Jane cavorting round the tOmbs
Where sleep the Med-i-chcc:
Angeles chisel, Raphacl's brush,
Can't bring the notion home,
For Italy will simply scream,
When Jane goes down TO Rome.

Thus runs the ancient song;

This trusting heart along
I'd give my life to watch with her
The fading Alpine goam.
Or stride the axle OF the coach
That hauls her down to Rome.

HARD HEARTED MAINE.
BOIr the Poor FS'ieHdIesS Tramp
Fares ia the Granite state.
Commercial Tribune.

Commercial Tribune.
The troubles OF the Weary walkers
and the Dusty Rhodes, as the tramps Of
the Nation are becoming generally known,
are numerous enough, fair-minded man
would think, without the government of
any state adding to them, but Maine, as
cold and bleak at heart toward the lazy
lovers of leisure as it is in atmosphere,
has placed another terror before the
Wandering Willics that iniest the North
east
Despite the fact that Maine dogs are
trained to bite any tramp that comes
along; that the farmers aud their help
and their sons are all hard-hearted and set
against the gentle art of doin' nothin as
practiced by the tramp-despile this and
more-the state has produced a man who
has in turn produced a further torment
for the gentleman who is not looking fer
work He calls it a tramp chair, and it is
in the form OF an easy, strsight-backed
chair, set upon wheels, with shafts at
tached to the front. But the chair is
miniature jail, for it is inclosed by regu-
lation bars such as are placed in front of
Jail cells, and door with huge lock is
seen at the front When Mr.. Tramp
enters the town and asks at the first house
for pie, the good woman simply sets of
an alarm, and the authorities do the rest.
Before the tired walker can tell what
has happened, a policeman gallops around
the corner with the tramp chair, unlOcks
the door, picks the tramp up, jams him
into the narrow confines of the miniature
lookup. slams the door and turns the
key. Then, If the good woman is very
tender-hesrted, she places the piece of
interrupted pie upon shelf in front of
the opening where the tramp looks out,
and tells him TO help himself
In this uncomfortable chair the often
der stays as long ss the Magistrate sees
flt to keep him. He is fed regularly, and
is the center Of an interested crowd of
small boys most of the time. but the fact
that he cannot lie down and sleep on
park bench or under haystsck makes
him long for green fields and pastures
new, and when he is finally released it is
said he never returns TO that town, and
warns all his friends TO strike II from
their calling lists.

A convict in Sing Sing is now engaged
in constructing the largest church organ
of the reed type yet known, says The
New York Times. 1t will contain sixty
eight notes more than the largest stand
ard reed organ of which there is any rec.
ord. This instrument was designed ex-
pressly for one of the Chapels in the new
administration building, and its designers
plans and elaborate music scheme have
been examined and approved by some of
the best organ makers in the country.
The designer and builder of this organ
is an intelligent y oung German. who, af-
ter mastering his trade of organ building,
got into bad habits, committed felony
and is now serving a few years term in
State Prison Warden Sage learned Of
the young convict's capabilities through
some drawings which he made, and, find
ing him competent and eager to ply his
trade, the Warden fitted up a small room
for his use, provided the necessary mate
rial and set him to work.
This employment caused a visible
change in the demeanor of the man.
Naturally frank and free from vicious
ness, the moment he found he was truated
with the responsibility of an important
piece Of work the chronic sulenness of
prison life left him He is now working
zealously; his artisan pride is aroused and
he proposes making two first.class organs

When Riley his Mayslick farm would leave,

And Bob would walk the pike,
And name the babes for Doctor jim,

And we had big mask ball,
And Sue Marshall's dress was made too short

And ask In WORDS quite civil
Why she, with saints to pick from,
Selected such "divil."

And Laura Collins, too,
And press her hand and look again
Into her eyes so true.
Those "old times we're mighty good;
We didn't care cent
Whether the Abolitionists
To hi or heaven went.
The white folks had their frollcs
And danced with joy and grace,
While the "Nggers" played the fiddle
And always kept their place.
"Them days" were full of fun;
But they are gone, you know,
And with them many of the friends
We loved so long ago.
We who are left are scattered,
And we may not meet again
Until Old Time shall call us
Unto the upper plane.
An exile from the home place.

Life has no joy, and death no sting,
Now Jane has gone away;
She's bound to climb the pyramids,
And dream on Naples Bay;
She'll paddle on the Theirs breast,
And stroke his yellow foam,
And dance the woody" Western dance
Upon the hills of Rome.
She'll view the stately Matterhorn,
And wind the Strasburg clock
And jabber with the goudoliers
Round some Venetian dock
King Billy's ear will cease to ache,
The Lorelei resign,
And "Bingen" never more be "calm."
When Jane sails up the Rhine.
She'll strsighten Pisa's tower, and stand
On Lindens stained snow"
Lucerues great beast she'll spear afrcsh,
And see the matron's "ho!'
Through Belgium's "revelry by night
She'll throw a glance that kills,
And gambol with Pa Norval's locks
Upon the Grampian Hills.
Perhaps she'll thread the arrowy Rhoue,
or chase Karpathian spooks,
OR trip through Asia's warlike scenes,
And scare the wild Bszouks.

The hugh grain elevator at the North
Western depot is almost completed. The
carpenters are putting on few finishing
strokes with saw and hammer on the
great interior. The machinist is waiting
for small sprocket wheel which may
come at any time when all the machinery
will be set in motion.
The main structure is 3Ox116 feet and
is twenty eight feet high to the square,
the highest point being forty-five feet
high. Its capacity is $4,000 bushels Of
small grain and 1000 bushels of ear corn.
II all was used for small grain it would
therefore hold about 10000 bushels. For
the uses intended, the unloading of
grain from farm wagons, the cleaning
and storing, and then loading in the cars,
it is one of the largest, best planned and
most complete elevator buildings in
Iowa.
Wagons are driven from the scales on
the north side into the driveway and on
to the dump. Here the grain slides from
the end of the wagon down into hop
per-bottomed bin about ten feet below
from the bottom of which it is elevated
to any part Of the building desired and
then emptied into anysof the great,Fyawn-
ing hopper bottomed bins below. In
due course of time it is loaded into cars
from these bins by means of spouts. OF
course in this transfer of the grain from
the bottom of the bin where first dumped
it is run through cleaning machines, if
necessary. All this moving of the grain
is done by machinery even to the load
ing. A strong current of air is conduct
ed from fan which throws the grain
from the mouth of the spout to either
end of the car, thus distributing it
around. A corn shelter is located in the
under part Of the building where the ear
corn is shelled. The corn is then run
through cleaner and the cobs and dirt
sent down spout to the engine room
and the clean corn to bin. An immense
auger shaped continuance running hori-
zontally the full length of the building
near the top pushes the grain from the
west end where it is elevated to the other
parts of the building. The whole big
interior is Il mass of hugh bins, elevator
spouts and labor saving machinery.
Ed Forney, the time keeper, and Ed
Culbertson, the foreman, both of Free
mont, Nebraska, and w. M. Seeley, the
contractor, of Chicago, were the gentle
men principally engaged in the construc-
ton. They have done their work
exceptionally we'll and have also shown
themselves to be gentlemen. The build
ing is owned by the North w estern
Railway Company and is leased by Thos.
Musson & Son. They have had big
business. and are now better equipped
for it than ever, The big capacity of
tae elevator will partly be used in allow =,

'Uncie Tom" at the Grand.

This famous play, which dates back so
that it caused the war of the rebellion,
has been presented with religious regu.
larity each dramatic season, sometimes
with double little Evas and double I'm.
Gle Toms even, but never has it been
given with such an elaborate stage dress
ing and realistic effects as this. In fact,
several OF the features are in themselves
sufficiently novel to make it worth while
going to see "Uncle Toms Cabin" for
the forty-seventh time. The company is
strong. Miss Cooks Topsy is a fine
piece of character and dialect acting with
the additional virtue that it is really
funny. 1t is doubtful if the part was
ever given better or even as we'll
played by any one else. Herbert Cook
assumes the role of Uncle Tom very &C.
ceptably, even if it isn't Shakesperean
But the leading feature of the produc-
ton is the gorgeous transformation
scene painted by Sosman & Lands
which represents little Eva in the gold
en- realms" The tableau is beautiful
and striking one, representing the flight
OF the angels of death aud the opening
of the golden gates. There are also
several other noteworthy stage Sc things
representing Il cotton picking scene,
Eliza crossing the ice, etc Some very
pleasing singing of plantation melodies
is given by ii colored quartette, and there
is some wing dancing that is a great
novelty. The audience last night was u
large one The Times, April H.
The Davis colossal spectacular Uncle
Toms Cabin Company will appear at
the opera house Monday, November Is.
