''WALKIN' HOME WITH MARY"

The tumblin' breakers in the bay
was plain as thunder'S groWlin'-
My clumsy boot-heels' crunch and squeak.
Beside her step so airy,
Seemed sayin': "Now's your time IN sneak.
You're walkin' home with Mary"
The far-of breakers lent their help
By boOmin': Now, young feIIerI"
And all that dog could find to yelp
Was: Tell her! Tell her! Tell herr"
And every crackin' bit of ice
Seemed like a kind of fairy,
A-givin' me the same advice,
When walkin' home with Mary.
And so. I swaIlered down my heart
'Twarn't greatly to my credit,
With all the airth to take my part
But, anyhow l said it.
And hen that dog shet off his bark;
There weren't a breaker, nary;
The hull wide world stood still to mark
And hear the word from Mary.
She answered, and the breakers fell
And roared congratulation;
Thnt blessed dog let out a yell
That must woke the nation.

Yet still it makes me scary
To think, what if I'd heerd as"No,"

Needed to the Soil.

Such evidence as we have indicates
that the negro will not become a fac
tor of Importance to manufacturing in
dustries, but will remain welded tc
the soil. 1t is certain that soon, prob
ably within a generation, the manu-
facture of cotton and iron and steel
will, in large part, be moved south of
Mason and Dixon's line. The progress
of the south in manufactures is likely,
in the near future, to be extremely
rapid. It is equally probable that the
operatives in these manufactures must
be drawn from the same source as those
of the north, as the negroes cannot
be depended upon to supply them

Proposed Cuban Appropriation.
There is movement in the Senate 10
have the proposed appropriation for the
relief of the starving Cubans made as an
Independent resolution and not as part
of the sundry civil appropriation bill. The
reason given for suggesting this change,
is the fact that the sundry civil bill will

through Congress, and 1T is believed that
an Independent resolution could be put
through practically without opposition.

Use Of Balloons Considered.
General Greedy, chief signal officer of the
army. has urged upon the Secretary of
War the importance Of an allotment of
money for the purpose of connecting the
various parts Of the Notifications at sea-
port cities by means of electrical commu-
nications.
Another matter which General Greedy
thinks Of great Importance to the army in
case of hostilities Is the employment of
balloons for observation purposes. He has
asked repeatedly for an appropriation from
Congress for experiments In this line, but
thus far his efforts to obtain money have
been unsuccessful. He hopes that some
money may be soon put at his command
for experimenting with balloons, as he be-
heves they would be invaluable for many
purposes in time OF war. He does not be-
