TO save their babies lives, but with the
bigger interests of the railroad company
ana the Brotherhood-Mr. Warman has
his to say:
There had never been moment whom the
management feared defeat They had met and
measured the amateur officials who were plsced
IN command of the strikers. They were but
children in the hands of the big. brainy men
who were handling the eompanv's business They
could fire locomotive ride fiy'' or make
time on the tick OF the clock They could
awe convention of car hands, or thrill an
audience at union meeting but they had
not the experience mental equipment to cope
with the diplomatic officials who stood for the
company. Their heads had been turned at
grand hotel, where only high-salarieS road on
cials could afford to live. They surrounded
themselves with a luxury that would have been
counted extrayagant by the minister Of many
foreign land They dissipated the strength of
the Brotherhood and wasted their substance in
high living. They had gotten into clothes that
did not fit them, and saddest of all. they did
not know it The good grey chief of the Brother
hood, who was perfectly at home in the Office OF
q president or general manager. who knew how
TO meet and talk with a reporter, who at
ease either in oyeralls evening dress, was kept
in the background. He would sell out TO the
company, the deep-lunged leader said. He could
not be trusted, and SO from the men directly in
terested in the fight the strikers chose leader,
and he led them to inglorious defeat, though de-
feat was inevitable.
in short, it was labor against capital,
and capital won, partly because of its su-
perior advantages, but partly also because
1t knew the business of fighting. In the
Middle Ages one mailed knight could ride
down whole town of peasants, and his
advantage was not altogether in his iron
shell, either.
What will be the end of it all, and when
the end will come, it is difficult at this
moment to say. But Mr. Warman's book
is extremely interesting as a ripple on
the surface of a great wave. His preface
is not the least clever thing about it.
This is it:
PREFACE.
Here is Decoy Duck stuffed with Oysters.
The Duck is mere Fiction;
The Oysters are Facts.
If you find the Duck wholesome, and the 0ys-
tiers hurt you, it is probably because you had
a hand in the making OF this bit OF History, and
in the creation of these Facts.

The curtains falling and the lights burn low.

I've seen life's melodrama, paid the price,
Have known its love and losses, hopes and
fears,
The laughter and the tears.
And now, God knows, l would not see it twice
I've crossed lifes ocean, faced its binding foam,
But now heaven whispers, I'm nearing home;
And though storm-tossed hull reach the shore,
thing Of tattered sheets and broken spars,
Naked against the stars,
shall soon be at peace forevermore.
For ii again I pass these waters through

What boots it where lie beneath the sod,
Or down the dark, impenetrable deep,
Where wayworn seamen sleep?
All gates are good through which we pass to

when the Cows Come Home.

When klingle, klangle. klingle,
Far down the dus<y dingle,
The COWS are coming home;
Now sweet and clear, and faint and low
The airy tinklings come and go,
Like chimings from the far-off tower,
Or patterings of an April shower
That makes the daisies grow:
ko-ling, ko-lang. kolingle-lingle,
The cows come slowly home
And od-time friends and twilight PLAYS.
And starry nights and sunny days,
Come trooping up the misty ways
When the cows come home
With jingle. jingle, jingle,
Soft tones that sweetly mingle,
The cows are coming home;
Malvine. and Pearl, and FIorimel.
Dehamp, Red Rose, and Gretchen SchelI
Queen Bess. and Sylph, and Spangled Sue
Across the fields / hear her loo,
And clang her silver bell;
Cooling, go-lang. go-lingle-dingle,
With faint, far sounds that Ininge
The cows come slowly home;
And mother-songs of long-gone years,
And baby joys and childish fears
And youthful hopes and youthful tears
When the cows come home.
With ringle, rangle, ringle,
BY twos and threes and single,
The cows are coming home;
Through violet air we see the town.
And the summer a-sliding down,
And the maple in the hazel glade,
Throws down the path a longer shade.
And the hills are growing brown;
To-ring, to-rang, to-ringle-ringle,
By threes and fours and single,
The COWS come slowly home;
The same sweet sound OF wordless psalm,
The same sweet June-day rest and calm,
The same sweet smell of buds and balm,
When the cows come home
With klingle, klangle. klingle,
With loo and moo and jingle,
The cows are coming home.
And over there on Merlin Hill
Sounds the plaintive cry OF the whippoorwill
And the dewdrops lie on the tangled vines,
And over the poplars Venus shines,
And over the silent mill.
Ko-ling. ko-lang, ko-lingle-ingle,
With ting-a-ling and jingle,
The COWS come slowly home.
Let down the bars, let in the train
OF long gone songs, and flowers, and rain,
For dear old times come back again

Nsidsummer Song.

The amber smile OF early morn
Hath flashed across the ripsning corn:
And on the spiders netting fral
The dew is cleaning bright,
As II an elf had lost her veil
While fleeing from the light.
From out the wood the streamlets run
On silver feet to greet the sun;
No bramble snare their steps can bind.
Their laughter rings above.
Where balmy blossoms weight the wind
With messages of love.
Now swells the din OF merchant bees
Along the meadows Howery seas,
While music floats from every bough
In carols sweet and clear;
1t is the heart of summer now
the noontide OF the year

The Feast.

Laughter gave a dinner fine
And | marveled much TO see
Every guest his opposite
Had for yis-a-vis.
There was Sorrow facing JOY,
Pleasue smiling back at Pain;
Faith serenely eyeing Doubt,
Naughty, cold and vain.
There was Love with soulful eyes
Looking calmly down on Hate;
There was Greed with Charity
For his holy mate.
There was Anger, too, with eyes
That were flaming like to FIRE,

Virtue and Desire.
Hope, forgetful Of Despair,
Melancholy wan and Cheer;
Sweet Forgiveness and Revenge,

For Love, the King, so many names there be,
So many aspects doth his beauty wear,
Some passing sweet, and some SO strange that we

LITERARY NOTES.
Robert Louis Stevenson once expressed
his philosophy of life in a letter to a
friend as follows:

friend as follows:
And here we come to the division; not only do
l believe that literature should give joy, but l
see universe, suppose, eternally different from
yours; solemn, terrible, but a very joyous
and noble universe; where suffering is not at
least wantonly inflicted, though it falls with
dispassionate partiality, but where it may be,
and generally is, noby borne; where above all
(this believe probably you don't: / think he
may. with cancer) any brave man may make out
a life which shall be happy for himself, and by
SO being, benefcent to those about him. And if
he fails why should L hear him weeping?
l mean, il l fail why should l weep, why
should you hear me? Then to me morals the
conscience, the affections and the passions are,
will own frankly and sweepingly, so infinitely
more important than the other parts of life
that | conceive men rather trifers who become
immersed in the latter; and l will always think
the man who keeps his lip stiff. and makes "a
happy freside clime," and carries a pleasant
face about to friends and neighbors, infinitely
greater in the abstract than an atrabilious
Shakespeare or backbiting Kant Darwin.
