THE SNOW BIRDS.

When winter winds are blowing,
And clouds are full of snow,
There comes flock Of little birds
A-nying to and fro;
About the withered garden,
Around the naked field
In any way-slde shrub or tree
That may berry yield,
You'll soc them fitting, fitting,
And hear their merry song;
The scattered crumbs OF summer
feast
Feed winter blrdlings long.
But when the snow-drifts cover
The garden and the feld,--
When all the shrubs are cased In Ice
And every brook IL sealed,
Then come the little snow-birds,
Az beggars, to your door;
They pick UP every tiny crumb,
With eager chlrps for more,
Like wandering musicians,
They meath the windows sing
All winter long they stroll about,
And leave us In the spring.
Off to the land Of icebergs
To islands cold and drear,
They fly before the summer comes
To frolc with us here.
Give them n hearty welcome!
1t surely were not good
That they who sing In wlnter-tlmc
Should ever lack for food,

TOGETHER.

We loved each other long and true
And at last liz April weather,
When the crocus buds were breaking
through.
And the dying moon hung faint in the
blue,
For yeam we sailed on the sunny main
We put to sea together
And then came stormy weather;
Our vessel groaned with tho tug and
strain
Ane out in the shrielsing wind and
We faced the gale together.
At times We caught glimpse of sky
That promised clearing weather;
And light and swift our boat would fly
Tilt the clouds resumed their inky dye
And we stood In the glcam together
But whether the sky was dark or
bright,
Or fair or foul the weather,
Our love was ever the beacon light
That cheered our souls In the darkest
night.
And held our hearts together.
And now we sail In our battered boat
Unmindml of the weather;
The winds may wave aud the clouds
may glolt,
But little We care II We sink or float,
So we sink or float together

COFFEE AND SUGAR WAR.
An Industrial Scrap Which Delights
the Public.

The story of the war between the
coffee trust and the sugar trust is in
teresting as matter of fact. 1t is in
teresting also as showing that even
trusts get into competition and that
their wars make cheaper prices for the
people.
The coffee trust, represented by the
Arbuckles, originated the scheme Of
selling coffee in one or two pound
packages or in packages of greater
weight, already prepared for customers
at the grocery counter. The plan gave
the customer full weight; his purchase
was ready on demand and he lost no
time by the delay OF the grocer in
weighing out his purchase.
The Arbuckles had procured ma
chinery, invented and constructed for
the purpose, working automatically, by
which coffee and spices were turned out
from the hoppers in their mills after
the grinding process, weighed in small
packages, dumped into paper bags and
sealed up for delivery at the gIocer's
counters to purchasers.
This system worked so well as to
coffee and spices that the Arbuckles
bought vast quantities of sugar that was
weighed by their automatic process
and placed in sacks of various capacity
to be delivered by grocers selling both
coffee and sugar. This trade of the
Arbuckles be came enormous in amount.
They were selling in this way to their
own customers for coffee and spices a
large proportion Of the output of the
sugar trust. They sold sugar at retail
at very near the barrel rate prices.
The Arbuckles then demanded re-
bate from the sugar trusts wholesale
prices. They were handling SO large
a proportion Of the sugar trusts output
that they wanted to buy at less than
wholesale prices.
The sugar trust refused to make the
rebate The Arbuckles then, having
nearly as much capital as the sugar
trust. determined to go into the Dusl-
ness of refining sugar. They bought
up a half dozen independent rehnerles
ard began to sell all grades OF sugar
at lower than trust rates. The trust
met the cut. Other cuts were made,
which were met on both sides The
result is that the people have been
buying sugar for the last few weeks at
from half cent to cent pound be-
low all previous rates.
Then the sugar trust had its inning,
The coffee and spice works OF a hrm
az Toledo were purchased and the sugar
trust began to cut prices on coffee.
The Arbuckles met this cut and lower
prices for coffee at retail haNo resulted.
So with the sugar trust operating
coffee mills and the coffee trust operat-
ing sugar retineres, the competition
has produced lower prices tor the prime
elements of an enjoyable breakfast
table. OF course, the quarrel VIII ne
arranged and previous prices restored,
But the public has had the benehI OIL
reduced prices during the progress Oh
the fight.

THE POISON IN THE CUP.

We have bluffed the naughty Briton,
And we've done the same to Spain,
And we're ready for a battle
On the land or on the main!
We can lick the whole OF Europe
With one hand behind our back
Russian, German, Turk and French
man,
The whole fire-eating pack
But, In spite of all this power,
We are sad and sick and sore,
For Willie Wallie Aston
Isn't with us any more!
Oh, we lead the world in science,
And we're coming up In art,
And prosperity Is ready
For another noble start,
And it's always safe to wager
Every penny you are worth
That we have the finest women
To be found upon this earth
Still, oh, still, we are unhappy
Still, we cannot be serene,
For Willie Wallie Astors
Sworn allegiance to the queen!
Don't forget that we're the greatest
People underneath the sun!
Postcrity will marvel
At the things that we have done.
We have tanned the Jagged lightning,
We have curbed the iron steed,
And we grasp from Mother Nature
..nything we chance to need
But all these great achievements
Now seem fiat and small and mean
ror Willie Wallle Astors
Sworn allegiance to the queen!

PRIDE OF BIRTH.

OF all the notable things on earth
The queerest one Is pride of birth
Among our fierce democracy"
A bridge across hundred years,
Without prop to save 1t from sneers,
Not even a couple of rotten peers
A thing for laughter, fieers and jeers,
Is American aristocracy!
Depend upon it, my snobbish friend,
Your family thread you cant ascend,
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it waxed at the farther
end
BY some plebian vocation!
Or, worse than that, your boosted line
May end In a loop Of stronger Irvine
That plagued some worthy relation

AVE DISCOVERED NEAR RED BUD
Contains a River and Deep Lake OF
Great Size.

Preparations are being made to eX-
plore a cave which was recently found
by some hunters, who accidentally dis
covered 1t while chasing wounded
wild cat. The cave is situated In the
region known as the "sinkholes," With
is eight miles west OF Red Bud, Ill.
The entrance Is about seven feet In
diameter, but after entering the size
varies, 1t being twenty to twenty-five
feet to the ceiling in some places. The
ceiling Is studded with large stalag-
mites. Big rocks project from the sides
OF the cave and are covered with in
Vulnerable white points, which by a
dim light resemble stars. The width
does not vary so much, as 1t Is about
sixteen feet Wide at all points, In the
center flows a stream OF clear water,
which contains numerous small eyeless
fish. A number of them were caught
and placed upon exhibition, but they
lived only few days. The depth OF
the stream Is from twenty to thirty
feet. Two miles from the entrance 1t
empties into large lake, which varies
In depth from five to forty feet and
lies beneath ceiling 100 feet from its
surface. Recently an exploring party
had small boat made and attempted
to cross this lake, out after going
nearly n half mile from shore decided
to return There are n great many
crevlces In the rocks, and 1t was In
some of these that the skeletons OF
wild animals were found, supposed to
be those of the wolf. Snakes OF all
kinds make this cave their nome III
