ONLY A WORKING GIRL.

She's only a working GIRL busy each day
In gaining her portion OF bread;
Her mother is old and infirIn, so they say
Her father, they tell me. is dead.
And there, at her window, see her EN-
ployed-
I glance at her morning and night
And l think that without her the earth
would be void
or much of its beauty and light.
She's only a working girl. seeking to send
A brother through college. hear;
May the angels her deeds of devotion De-
friend
And crown her endeavor with cheer
More strength to her hands and more
warmth to her hearth
May the clouds never darken her sun,
And duty and beauty, in Loves magic art.
Forever be welded as one.
She's only working girl. Chance has de-
creed
She must dwell with the lowly on earth;
And yet she is rarer In thought and In
deed
Than the queenlest princess of earth.
And would she might know that her beau
tiful life,
Though Swallowed with want and with
care,
Has been. in the midst of my toll and my
strife,
hope and song and a prayer.

A lively argument is reported
from Davis county, Utah. 1t is
worded this way A drummer
aud au insurance agent met at
the Sessions house in East Boun-
tiful. The insurance agent was
a goldbug, while the drummer
advocated 16 to /. The discus
sion was heated enough from the
start, bat grew sultry when the
exponent of silver spiked the
guns of the enemy by saying :
Every man that ever trained a
gun on a workingman was gold
bug; every man that formed a
trust for the destruction of the
small tradesman was a goldbug;
every man that ever sold a
daughter to the British nobility
was a goldbug; ever man that
ever traded American honor for
British gold was a goldbug:every
man that graduated tramp at
the school of adversely was a
goldbug; every man that drove a
silver miner from the ranks of
labor was a goldbug; every man
that ever bought a United States
Senator or 81 President of the
United States was a goldbug;
every man that ever coerced or
intimidated American labor was
a goldbug; every man that raised
a musket end fired on defenseless
women and children was a gold
bug; every man that believed in
the impoverishment of the mass
es to the benefit of the classes
was a goldbug.' And the dis
cossion ended.

News from Madrid says the
sentiment there is that in the
event of war with this country
Spain will not need to attack
American territory but will be
content to conduct a privateerino
war as American commerce is
sevenfold greater than her own.
and the interests of this govern
meEt would suffer the most. The
face of this statement bears the
mark of fake, for the reason
that our mercantile marine has
declined to such an extent that
the American flag is rarely seen
In foreign port, unless it hap
pens to float from the peak #
one or two of our warships. The
commerce of this country is car
rled in British ships sailing under
the British flag, and were the

teeth of England. The priva-
1teerlng story is good enough,
however, to tell to the marines.

The Kansas City Times says
David Ward, who formerly liv-
ed in Kansas City, is at the
Coates House, having just re-
returned from a trip through
Alaska, in the course of which
he discovered a mining region
which he claims will prove as
rich as the now famous Klondike
country. Mr.. Ward says that
the gold district which he has
found possesses two great adj
vantages. The first of these is
that the deposit of yellow metal
is exceedingly rich, and the Sec
ond that the land lies within the
confines of Alaska, and is under
the jurisdiction of the United
States government. 1t is seven
years since Mr.. Ward left Kan
sas City, but the news that he
was back again, and from the
gold country, too, brought him
