THE SAD POET OF THE HOE.

II. F. Rodney.
l.
Suburban seer
OF Oakland pier,
Your Malthus Hobbies and hobbies
YOu paint and paint
With things that ain't"-
The sport Of law and lobbies.
You parallel
The road to hell
With Stygian incsntation-
Insult the hoe
whene'er you show
Such Characterization.
No logic
Would deign to try
The all-exacting meter,
The VOW once made
To call spade
spade and nothing sweeter
Might make the rules
OF Sunday schools
Dead letters-bards will act ill:
Their surplus grit
And classic wit
Are used to fire dactyl.
III.
Come from the woods.
Give us '' straight goods"
Discuss the weather-color.
Perhaps you'll name
Some other game
At which you are not duller.
Less finding fault!
More Attic salt!
Would Kipling or would Poe take
Such jaunts in talk?
IT'S no cake-walk
Or else you'd take the hoe cake.

WE'RE not as polite as the man who,

LuIninssssx an Plants.

Many instances have been recorded OF
flowers being luminous at night. They
only seem to do this on rare occasions,
hence they are to be envied who have
the good fortune to witness the phe-
nomena. Though the writer has often
endeavored to get fortunes favor, she
has never smiled on him but once,
when he saw the phosphorescent glow
from fungi in a hollow tree. just like
the glow Of a match when rubbed in
the dark. A German naturalist, Herr
Haggren, seems to have met with q
number Of instances in his country-or,
rather, the night watchman he employ
ed did. He concludes the phenomens
are more likely to occur when it il
dark. after rain, following sunny day.
July and August gave the most in.
stances. Occurrences began soon after
sunset, end there were none after dawn.
He could not decide on the cause Of the
luminosity. -Meehan's Monthly.

STATE DEMOCRATS.

The democratic party of Montana
has shouldered a burden in the deeds
of the late. Legislature which will
materially handicap it in all its flu
ture endeavors. The people know
what that legislature was elected
for, and that the things actually ac-
complished are not the things prom
ised. And once more the voters are
told that a platform is useful in en-
tering train, but nobody rides up
on it. Of the general results the
Enterprise wisely says:
With its record of licensing prize
fighting, amending the gambling
law to virtually license that evil, en-
acting Legislation IN the interests Of
corporations and resting under a
charge of auctioning off a senator
ship, the reform (D democratic leg
islature, elected on "paramount is
sue," ought to and will disgust the
voters of Montana to a point where
democracy can never again control
the affairs of this state.
The thing that will disgust the
democratic majority of Montana
more and more as the seasons roll is
tersely explained in the following
from the Review of Reviews, New
York, whose editor is intensely con-
servative and is not guilty of max
ing statements not founded upon
truth. He says:
''In Montana after a hard fight
and sensational charges of bribery,
the mining millionaire, Mr.. William
A. Clark, was elected to succeed
Mr.. Mantle. Eleven republicans
aided his election. The new sena-
tor is for sound money and is an
nounced as favoring the expansion
policy"
AS the term 'ssonnd money"
means the present gold standard,
we are wondering where our demo-
cratic friends hope to get any con-
ISOLATION out of Mr.. Clark's election.
Added to this worthy recommends
ton, Senator Hobson of Fergus
county assures us that Mr.. Clark is
a strong protectionist. 1t Is evident
that the democratic campaign of
last fall was big masquerade par
ty.

The silence of plans for the COM
ing city election is most distressing.
The columns of the HERALD are al
ways open to suggestions of public
spirited citizens, and we would glad
ly present any ideas or thoughts the
reader may have upon any question
whatsoever. Incidentally this paper
suggests that if there be any war;
ing factions in the town, they should
get together in the spirit of broad
minded charity, and drop all person
al or factional differences. The
town is weary enough of its load OF
business depression, without the
added weight of senseless chickering's
between men who ought to be
friends. There are questions Of
greater moment than that as to who
shall be dog catcher or ice chest in
spector of this town, and today is
the noontide of our opportunity
Citizens of Neihart, are you agreed:
Or is there still a warning faction
who wants to get even?

Postmasters are in receipt of a
circular letter from the department,
calling attention to the fact that a
very large percent of foreign mail
from this country is short paid, and
as a result, they are frequently re-
fused by tie parties to whom ad
dressed and are returned to this
country as unbelievable, to the an
noyance of the postal officials as
we'll as to the senders of the letters.
The department believes that in
many cases the short payment of
postage may be attributed to the
fact that the unit of weight for the
letter rate in this country is one
ounce, while the unit for foreign
letters is one. half ounce. The re-
quest is therefore made that public
ity be given to the fact that the
postage rate for letters for foreign
countries is FIVE cents for each half
ounce or fraction thereof, and if
postage is not fully prepaid, double
the deficiency must be paid by the
person to whom the letter is ad-
dressed before it will be delivered at
its destination.
