and ran to the pasture to release the stock.

Alas, the weary while to spring

Alas, the weary while TO spring
The weary while the SHOWS to cling,
Ere north the nest bound swallows wing,
And wide the rapturous south winds fling
The portals Of the sun.
All, sweet the weary while to wait,
Till sum moning spring shall burst the gate,
And bring, EMPOWERED, irradiate,
The hour-ah, sweet the while to wait
Till springtime be begun.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Aug. 13.--During the
brakemen on the Great Northern have
been dismissed from the service of that
road without Offering the dfcharged men
any explanation. 1t was said in recent
statement in Seattle paper that eighty
conductors and brakemen had thus been
dismissed as the result of the work OF
numerous spoilers employed by the COM
pany. An oficial of the Great Northern
who has this matter In charge was seen
yesterday and shown the article. There
Is some truth in the story" he said. but
there are many untruths. Instead OF
eighty men having, been dismissed
There ia little doubt that these men know
why they were dismissed. and have no
wish TO make their position harder than
II Is. Many offenders have been over
looked and retained. In fact It is our
wish 10 retain all the old men on the
road but We feel that the Great Northern
Is entitled to all the revenue that comes
into the hands OF its agents, and II In
trying to get this revenue sore changes
have to be made there Is no one to blame
but the men themselves. There have
been other reasons why some of the con-
ductors have been laid off. Carelessness
In dsobeying orders or the misuse Of
property are causes which frequently
arise It may be that the dismissais
have been recently punched In the Wash
ington tines and II has been taken for
granted that wholesale dismissals have
been made all along the line, but you
may say that no men have been let out
without cause"
The effect Of the increase in Yellow
stone Park business is felt by the North

Park continually contain dozen sleepers
or more, awaiting the arrival of tourists
who are going through the park.

MONOGRAM MONUMENT
FUND STILL GROWING.

~ UGH public interest through
IVA out the state In being aroused
by the proposal to erect
monument to the memory OK
Ensign John r. Monaghan, the
young hero who gave up his LIE so
nobly At Samoa April !. Monaghan
was Spokane boy, yet represent
ed the whole state. being the first
Washington boy graduated from the
naval academy. The whole state
should unite In doing honor to hts
memory.
Ensign Monaghan Died In defense
OF his country's nag and sacrificed
his life 70 save q wounded comrade.
Lieut.. Lansdaie. OF British man
of-war. then stationed at Samoa. Al
will be remembered. q party from
both British and American ships
were proceeding inland when they
were suddenly ambushed by 500
savages. They used their machine
guns as long as possible. but the
savaEes were too great In number.
and the brave men were forced to
retreat. Lieut.. Lansdaie fell, badly
wounded. Sooner than leave him
to the mercy OF the savages. Ensign
Monaghan, knowing that he was 60
Ing to certain death, never faltered.
but remained by his friend. He
~as overwhelmed and shot down.
Since the monument fpnd was FIRST
proposed, Washington people have
been quite liberal with contrihu-
lions. Up TO the present time Spo-
kane people have raised over sI,l0o
larger stun than has been raised
IN Seattle. 4his possibly arises
from the fact that the ensign was
personal friend of many OF the Spo-
kane people. Still, 4 should not be
said that Seattle was behind In con-
tributing TO the memory OF a hero.
1t Is urged that everyone make a
special effort to assist this good
work as much as possible. Subscfip-
tons will be received at the Post
Inteliigencer office and at other
newspaper Offices throughout the
state. or they may be sent direct 10
