Written after seeing Millets world famous

| Written after seeing Millet's world famous
| painting
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never
hopes,
Stolid and stunned, brother to the OK,
Who loosened and let down his brutal Jaw ?
| Whose was the hand that slanted back this
brow9
Whose breath blew out the light with this
brainP
lsthis the thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heavens
for power;
To feel the passion of Eternity9
Is this the dream He dreamed who shaped
the suns
And pillared the blue armament with light
Down all the stretch of He'll to it's last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this
More tongued with censure of the worlds
blind greed
More filed with signs and portents for the
More fraught with menace to the universe
What CULTS between him and the seraphim
Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiadesg
What the long reaches of the peaks of song,
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the roseG
Through this dread shape the suffering ages
look
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity be-
trayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited,
Cries protest to the judges of the world,
A protest that is also prohecy
0 masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the hand work you give to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul
quencnedY
How will you over straighten up this shape;
Give back the upward looking and the light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Touch it again with Immortality
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Peridious wrongs, immedicable woes 7
0 masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the future reckon with this man
How answer his brute question in that hour
When wirlwinds Of rebellion shake the
world!
How will it be with kingdoms and with
kings
With those who shaped him to the thing
he is
When this dumb terror shall reply to God,
After the silence of the centuries9

Some Of the Canadian newspapers are
disturbed by railroad hold-up. Not one
of those hold-ups in which highwaymen
rife passengers of their valuables, but
something worse. The Canadian Pacific
railway demanded Of the owner of town
site that he donate Alright Of way and half
the unsold lots of the town rs the terms on
which the road would build station there.
He declined, and in consequence the rail
road passed by this town. 1t has put up
station two and half miles farther on,
where it is encouraging the development
of town of its own. That is surely high
handed proceeding. But after all, is only
game between the railroad and the owner
of the town site, in which the railroad is
likely to win. A station at his town site
would enable the owner to charge other
people higher prices Tor his lots. That
was the reason the railroad company de-
manded terms. It wanted him to divide
the "swag." He objected, and so the
company itself '1ays for the public at
another place along the line.-THe Public.

Chicago, May 17.-Major General Thos.
M. Anderson, commander Of the depart
ment Of the lakes detailed some Of his mill
tary experiences in the Philippines this
evening at the Associated Press banquet.
II had my first interview with Aguin-
aldo" he said, "on the 1st of July. The
next day cabled back to the war depart
ment these two sentences:
"'Aguinaldo has declared himself die
tator, and these people are determined on
their independence thought so then,
and believe so yet. There are some 200
leaders in this movement OF the Filipinos
They wish absolute Independence, because
they wish to divide the church property,
worth millions Of dollars, and abrogate
the Spanish cessions, so they can reissue
them for their own benefit. The mass of
common people, on the other hand, wish
independence because they believe we will
rob and oppress them like the Spaniards-
because they have been deceived about
us.
II believe if we send there wise mon to
carry out wise measures honest honorable
measures-it will make the Philippines
islands IS prosperous o. Japan, convert the
Pacific ocean into an American lake, and
will rebound to the honor and glory Of our
imperial republic"

The Sweetwater Ditch.

Members of the Sweetwater Ditch
company, while in attendance npon the
stockholders meeting last Tuesday, ex-
pressed the determination to extend the
ditch to the city by pipe line during the
summer. Eventually the water from
Sweetwater will be piped all the way. II
is the plan to unite this ditch with the
local water system, and bring in from,
this mountain stream water for all city
purposes. By the extension of pipe
line there will be no interference from
frost in winter and the water will be cold
in summer,
This is the institution of an I'M
portant water system that will
some day have an extended scope. The
water shed that supplies the sweet-water
will afford supply for all uses all of the
Tammany and Lewiston fruit belt. An
inexpensive storage system in the canyon
of the Sweet-water or at the head of our
branch Of the Sweet-water will meet
this demand for all time to come This
enterprise would mean more than an
additional railroad to Lewiston.

Submitted to the Governor.

Very soon Governor Steunenberg will
be called upon to appoint trustees for
some Of the institutions of the state
This matter has heretofore received so
little attention from the people, that the
executive, consequently, felt little res
possibility, and ont of that condition has
come some appointments which have
placed among the educators and moral
element of the community characters
which have been stain upon our insti-
buttons, shock to the moral instincts
of the people and an example to the
youth of the state, the dire influence OF
of which upon them will long mar the
welfare of our commonwealth.
Such appointments prevent the state
from obtaining grade of instructors
which it should have, because men and
women will not accept or continue per-
manently employed from the boards
where unfit characters havs any control.
The appointment of such characters to
trusteeships on educational boards forces
instructors to associate with and give
prominence to characters from whose IN
fiuence and association they would gladly
be protected and more gladly protect
the youth of the state. Is it not likely
the women voters will call sharply to
account any executive who henceforth
shall fail in this respect to protect the
morality and welfare of their children?
The state of Idaho has an abundance
of men to fill these positions who are
honorable in their business and social re-
lations and have the educational equip
ment. The people henceforth will not
allow these positions to be filled by char
acters whose social and business honor
damages and Injuries the credit of the
business and institutions of the state and
lowers its estimation by the outside
world. Such characters are always most
highly lauded and praised by certain
classes and organs, and many peo-
pie are deceived thereby, but people
of intelligence are easily able to see that
the sources Of such praise are characters
of equal depravity.-Weekly Patriot.

The gamblers won victory in the
legislature yesterday. They have threat
ened to obstruct the plan for re-enact-
ment of the laws Of previous sessions uu-
less the anti -gambling laws were omitted
from the list, and they have carried their
point. At the afternoon session the joint
committee on the plan of revivifcation
reported. The report provided for the
re-enactment of all the laws passed since
statehood mot including those declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court),
excepting the anti-gambling law. The
laws were to be presented in the shape
of bills and passed without debate under
suspension. In the senate the report was
adopted without dissenting vote, but in
the house there was spirited but help
less fight against exclusion Of the anti
gambling law. The fight was led by
Kingsley, of Ada. Everett of Fremont,
democrat, took occasion to reafirfn his
unalterable opposition to gambling in
every form, and expressed regret that the
committee had stricken the law from the
list 1t was not a question of gambling
now, however, but one of expediency.
Should one law be allowed to stand in
the way of speedy restoration to the
ranks of constitutionality of laws of the
stateP In the senate an effort was made
to secure acceptance of 10 to ~ standing
committees appointed by the lieutenant
governor and fight against confrma-
ton of the presiding officers selection
came near being precipitated. The re-
publicans and populists stood together
in opposition to an amendment to their
motion for acceptance Of partial list
and the matter went over.

He turned the knob of the door and
opened it the fraction of an inch. His

found that the door was not locked, and
that in all probability it would not

Slowly and with infinite care he

Four feet from him, as he stood almost

form of a woman. A flood of moon
light from the window fell upon her and
melted the pink of her cheek, the cream
of her throat, the lace of the night
dress, and the white sheet that wrapped
her into one semi-golden hue. The UNI
dulation caused by her breathing made
her look like a dropping lily swayed b.
the gentlest of breezes.

little value to Donaghue. His own Mag
gle was hardly cursed with the fatal
gift of beauty, and she was quite as
softly and quickly to the dressing case
at the other end of the room. He picked
up a perfumed lace handkerchief and
threw it away lmpatiently, although III
his more youthful days lace han1ker
chief he would have considered prize
of no mean value. Below it he found
what he wanted and expected-a locket
and chain, a jeweled watch, heavy
bracelet, a pin and what seemed to
him a handful of rings. He held them
all up in the moonlight, and noticed
how they sparkled in his troubling
hand and he smiled with delight.
He turned and looked at her. He felt
like adding a stolen kiss to the other
jewels he had taken. He almost laughed
aloud at the thought of such man as
he kissing such a peerless beauty as
the woman who lay on the bed before
him. And he was just about to depart

mail from incoming trains routed over
his route which he must throw" or
work" as they call the arrangements
of the letters in the different sacks.
When thaiclerk7 reaches his car he finds
all of the racks piled up promiseuously,
as a result of the labors of the car
cleaners. He has to first adjust an
intricate system of racks, which hold
the pouches with their openings as
much distended as possible. Then he
sorts his labels into the cases provided
for them and starts after the mail
that is brought to him. In most of the
big fast mail trains over the trunk
lines out of st. Louis, there are three
to four mail cars, which carry a force
of from eleven to thirteen clerks. Each
man has a certain duty to perform and
he does it without regard to any other
man.. Each man works to the limit
of his energy, or he never would ac-
complish the task he is put to. .
A system Of fines and suspensions is
provided which keeps the men close
to their tasks. They are furnished
with keys to the mail pouches and to
the cars, which have numbers on them
and which are registered. A,man who
loses his key must report the matter
at once or a severe penalty is melted
out to him. Failure to report the loss
of keys has resulted in some big rob-!
berries and the consequent loss of po-
sitions by the men who so failed. Re
