SHADOWS.

See how the shifting lights and shadows fall
Athwart the path where young leaves take
the sun!
Blent in "a wavering. tangled maze they run,
As lows the wind across the orchard wall,
So fleet, so faint, that careless play seems all
Yet perfect law imprints them, every one,
And tides might sooner seek the moon to
shun
Than leaves this instant thinning to forcstal
Thus do the lights and shadows of the soul
Unerringly portray its good and i'll.
Each aim, each longing, fraught with JOY or
dole,
Traces an image on lfe's pathway still
And the swift pictures are our Judgment scroll
Whether with shine shade the hours we
I'll.

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Figor. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil i'll
which the hair grows, and,
lust as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. II you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

Amherst .
EUGENE.

From an occasional correspondent,
1t is especially refreshing these hard
times to find community in which there
seem to be no idlers.
Amherst is one Of the towns in which
every one seems to have business, and to
attend to it, too.
While the tannery and'lum boring have
occupied the people in the past they seem
now to be turning to their farms wit b
unusual energy, and one does not, as in
most places, hear the worn out cry "hard
times; they are too busy for that.
Besides the tannery and store run in
connection there are two milliners
two blaksmiths and one doctor.
One of the stores is that of the new firm
OF Hussey Dunham the other is that
of John Grover. Mr.. Grover has been in
business here seven years and has made
many friends, to whom his recent ap-
pointment as postmaster is a source of
satisfaction
The millinery department Of this store
is conducted by Mrs. Grover.

USE THE REFERENDUM,
Editor Of The Representative:

Editor OF Inc Representative:
Dear Sir-I read an article of yours
urging that we send true and tried men
to the convention who will respect the
wishes of the people that send them
there. This is the old parties style of
caucus and convention and this is where
they shut out the voice of the people.
Populists are not above this any more
than other parties. Now can we not
as reformers practice what we preach at
least to some extent, the referendum as
advocated by Mr.. Swain, in this city and
county at least where corruption in our
own party runs rampant / hope the
county and city committee will take this
matter up and in the form of resolu-
tions in the different precincts let the
people be heard from and not trust any
delegate at least on the question Of fus-
ion or no fusion If the people are in
favor of fusion all right we must submit,
but what 1 insist upon Is the wishes Of
the people and not that of a few sharp
allecks who go as delegates.

answer that there Is vastly more differ
ence between the Populist and Democrat
ic parties on this question than between
the Democrats and Republicans. We
condemn the party Of one idea. If ever
there was a campaign conducted upon
one issue to the exclusion of all other re-
forms it was the last presidential cam
paign. In our own fair state of Iowa the
two old parties have Joined hands, have
until their efforts to force US to the
WALL refer to the Infamous
Republican anti-fusion law coupled with
the cowardly attempt of the Democrats
to force us off the ballot by Injunction.
But all things work together for good
to them that hold to the truth for truths
sake. I avail myself OF your very liber-
al campaign offer and If the paper gives
the satisfaction I expect will send you

England Rules.

England has conquered this country
without firing a single gun. AS DR..
BENZ. Andrews truthfully says: The
New York banker tells the banker Of
the West what principles he must follow
New York banker Is subject to the die
tation of London. We are like fan.
From one center, London, comes the
edict to New York. From there it is
distributed to the various parts of the
United States, and the people are sub
servient to a system, the fountain head
of which is in England, the active body
in every city Of the United States"

Sing no for the South Dakota COW.
Sing no for the little brown hen.
Such couple was never on earth below
To feather the nests OF men
With the golden products of Good Queen
No ''udder" can compare
While the snowy fruit of the cackling

Brings solace for every care.
Men risk their lives for the shining ore
Deep hid in frozen cline,
When these faithful servants bring them
And peace at the selfsame time;
With pasture in plenty and bugs
galore
They never will lack for feed,
Their stock is at par at the grocery store
For things that the farmers need.
Then three times three for the bovine

And three for the female fowl!
At the farmers door which they feed
before.
No wolf has a chance to howl.
No poets dream ever Matched theme
More worthy a poets pen
Than the kindly queen Of the prairies

And the busy cackling hen.

bling them. So long as 1t is permitted
to any man to take what doesn't belong
to him through monopolizing natures

public utilities, plenty Of men Of my kind
will always be ready to jump in and do
the stealing. My mission is to show the
people how it is done, to take what thoy

These terms are made fashionable by the
moneycrats and repeated by their dupes.
For instance, Mr. Hanna. recently re-
marked that any man who cried out
against the rich classes ought to be shot.
And lot Of editors who have to work
all day and part of the night to get
enough to wear, solemnly echoed Marks
declaration. Yet here comes Johnson,
man as successful in money getting as
Hanna and perhaps great deal honest
er. with the frank statement that he is
a robber. that the people make it easy for
him and men like him to rob them and
that he proposes to keep on robbing
them.
The difference Is that the other fellows
keep what they steal for themselves and
their families, while Johnson devotes his
stealings to educating the people to the
point of protecting themselves.
The statement Of Tom Johnson is cold
truth, and we commend it to the perusal
OF those foolish men who are rallied to
the polls year after year by appeals to
protect property" and "business inter-
ests" and vested rights against such
anarchistic doctrine, for instance, as
that of the single tax or the free coinage
of silver. We are inclined to think that
with Tom Johnson's opportunities we
would take as many millions from the
people as he has taken and that we
would look upon them as he does as
being just plain damphools for assist
ing in their own skinning.-Stockton

Except reverberations from woodland

Oh, list to the song as it throbs through

IT'S the weeping Of women, the clanking

flowed so true,
Besprinkling our sod like the falling Of

IT'S the grief Of the moment that tried
a mans soul,
when The drum DeaL Inc IOCSln ana

IT'S the voice of the thousands who,
wounded and slain.
Have received for their labor the whip
and the chain;
IT'S the voice of the child from the dark
verge of hell.

chanals dwell,
IT'S the cry of the starving approaching
their doom,
Like the star Of our justice, dishonored.

With naught but wall and mute

Bring curse from our God on the land

A curse on the men who had wrought
