GOOD FORMING.


The sun hag SWEPT away the night,
And all the eastern sky, aglow
With golden clouds and rosy light
Says to the waking world below,
Good morning.
Above the branching sunlit trees
The curling smoke wreath floats nfar
Before dissolving in the breeze
And signals To the last dim star,
Good morning.
The buttercups and daisies fair
That nod and whisper IN the breeze
Repeat the salutation there
And murmur to their friends the bces,
Good morning
The song bird singing in tho grove
Has tuned his voice his matu TO greet,
And waking her with thoughts OF love
Sings tcnderly in wood notes sweet,
Good morning.
The modest wild rose CT the vale,
It's face turned up toward the sky,
Sends perfume ON the summer gale
And brcathos to all, with fragrant sigh.
Good morning.
Across the mead from flow'r to flow'r
The butterfly in colors rare
Fits on, unmindful Of the hour,
And says, with most coquettish air,
Good morning,
And 80 from meadows and from hill,
From passing breeze and glancing ray,
From NOISY glade and ripping rill
Comes borne to me n bright and gay
Good morning.

The late John Stetson, the notorious

the use of long words where short ones
would suffice. Theatrical advance

theaters. use when they can and as Of
ten as they can long words, and Stetson
grew accustomed to hearing long words
and used them often, and usually out
of place. An authentic anecdote con-
corning him is as follows:
An opera company played an engage
ment at the Globe theatcr il Boston,
and one OF the conditions Of the contract
which the manager made was that there
should be an increased orchestra" fur
nished by Mr.. Stetson. Opera companies
which make frequent changes of bill
require many rehearsals, and at one Of
these rehearsals Nh. Stetson, who looked
with misgiving ON the extra expense
entailed by the Increased orchestra, F"
walked restlessly about the theater, and
finally spoke out to the musician who
had charge Of the triangle and cymbals
''I'm paying you like the others, ain t
I?'' said Stetson testify. 'But you're
sitting there like log. Why don't you
play while the others are playing? Do
you think can pay you for doing moth

mind about your cue. l don't pay any
one in this theater for doing nothing.

were about to pass them. He spoke care

One would judge from the great
hue and cry the Gest repub lieans are
making now because the demo-
Gratis are showing little life in the

that account. The democrats, how.
ever, are inclined to think that they
have equal privileges with their OPP
ponsnts to vote for whom they
please. even though the only man in
Rock Island county whom the re-
publicans can honor, happens to be
on tho other side. without being
subject to the accusation Of acting
under cover.
Aside from the duty to party. there
are various reasons Why every demo-
crat should stand BY his ticket this
time. The candidates are particu-
larly strong in the first place. and
besides that the sophistry Of the re-
publicans OF the Gsst crowd should
be UNDECIDED. if for no other reason
than to preserve the democratic party
standing. in order that It may have q
place on the ticket in the next cleo
ton under the law.
