A Plea For "A Song.

Avaunt! We tiresome bards who sing
Of the budding flowers and breath of spring,
OF the hackneyed, threodbare themes of love,
Your lady's wavy locks of gold,
Or dainty fan, or shapey glove
Avaunt! The tale is trite and old.
BE ye men. and waste your fancies rare
On the tangled tufts of woman's hair?
BE ye sons of Eve. and spend your brain
Singing the light of a woman's eyes?-
Ere the wind has snatched the loving strain,
Ere the song is hushed, the lovelght dies.
Slug me a song of work and strife,
OF the man who shouldered his way thro' life,
Leaving the primrose path to fools;
Who gained the skies from the vulgar sod
With naught save natures sturdy tools.
All, there's a man for the smile of God
-Aza~riee B. Kirby in .Scbfembt, Cosno-

A Cotton Mill Trust.

New Orleans Picayune.
The Boston Traveller is troubled
at the talk that the Fall River, and
presumably other New England cot
ton mills are to be brought into a
gigantic trust.
The Traveller hears that there are
dozen men in Boston who are mas
tiers Of the situation. That they
can kill the project or push it to
success. Probably there is no rea-
son to doubt this assertion. The
Traveller thinks that ii things go on
as they have been going in the mat
tel Of the formation Of trusts it will
not be long before a dozen men will
have the labor interests of this
country all by the throat, and they
will be able to put up or throw
down as shal please them.
The Traveller does not find in
either the Republican or Democra
tic parties any prospect of decisive
action to regulate or restrain these
powerful combinations Of capital
which are reaching out to grasp
and monopolize the trade in the
various neCessaries Of life, and the
Traveller is right. The politicians
of both parties will accept enormous
subsidies from the trusts in order to
secure office, and they must pay it
back to the trusts in the form of
Government protection, and that
sort of ;ning will go on until tue
people in wrath and desperation
shall rise up against it. The Trav
eier declares that no man can pred
let what will be the end. ''It may
be anarchy. 1t may be socialism.
1t may DC the death OF this Great.
RepuDllC.' That Is dismal fore
boding, but that this vast consoll-
dation of the money power will
bring on a violent revolution seems
more than likely.

How Postal Cards are Often
Wasted.

''Women often send messages to
their dressmakers or to dry goods
shops on postal cards." says the
September Ladies' Home Journal,
"attaching a bit of cloth, ribbon or
lace as samples, This makes the
card 'unmailable, SO it is always
sent to the dead-let:er office and in
variably destroyed. Men pre-
sumably men - not lntre4uently
paste a clever joke or telling po-
iitical fragment upon a postal and
SEM it to a triend-at least, start II;
but it n ever arrives. Nothing may
be attached to postal card, nor
may one word be written upon the
address side except the address

ssEdwin.''

Died at the house of his father,
w. Butcher, on Wednesday, Aug
20, 1899, aged 20 y; ars and FL days.
Like a morning glory he departed
When every one cherished him;
He left relatives and friends broken hearted
And a home desolate and dim.
He was noble and faithful friend,
A generous and obedent boy.
Our sympathy to the family send
For of that home he was the joy.
Every one murmurs in his sorrow,
Oh! Why did this flower SO soon fade
But, then a whispering soft and low
For a heavenly garden it was made.
Au revoir, dear friend, we'll meet again
In heaven for all eternity,
Where there is no sorrow nor pain
We shall meet you dear Eddie,
